- long post about Rebecca answering fan questions
- info from the podcast episode “Leading the Way- Rebecca and Steven Sugar”
- If Rebecca were a gem, she’d be under Blue or Pink Diamond’s
court
- The gem placements of the main characters relate to who they
are
- Pearl (head)- way too inside her head,
intellectual
- Amethyst (chest)- passionate, impulsive,
speaks from the heart all the time
- Garnet (hands)- “hands-on”, active,
extremely balanced
- For every new gem, [the crew] evaluates who they are based
on where their gem is placed
- Amethyst’s favorite soda is Apple Seedra (?)
- Flourite’s design was inspired by the caterpillar in Alice
in Wonderland and Grandmother Willow
- Pearl’s favorite color is pink
- Rebecca loves pineapples on pizza
- Rebecca’s favorite job to do in animation is storyboarding (if
it is a board-driven show)
- Rebecca’s favorite arc in One Piece is the Sogeking Usopp
vs. Luffy fight/arc, Usopp is her favorite character
- Pumpkin doesn’t need to eat but he does sleep
- When asked if Steven Universe is canonically just a cartoon
and if so, if Sardonyx is aware of this, Rebecca replied, “Sardonyx is self-aware.
I think Steven Universe is canonically just a cartoon in the canon of real life but within the show, it’s reality.
But Sardonyx has this transcendent mind. I think of Sardonyx a little like Psycho
Mantis (…) from Metal Gear. She can see outside of what’s going on y’know and
that’s something that I feel like Garnet can see beyond the moment into the
future and not just into the future but also all of these possible futures so
Sardonyx is sort of on this other level where she has that ability but Pearl’s
also in there so it’s also obnoxious.”
- The theory about Garnet’s glasses changing the ratio of red
or blue depending on if Ruby or Sapphire’s personality is dominant at the time
is NOT TRUE. Garnet isn’t piloted by two people, she is her own person.
- The zircons are poofed, not shattered. “They are certainly
not not in trouble, but they’re not
shattered.” -Rebecca
- The people in the SU Universe have a different relationship
towards stories about superheroes due to the gem war
- On references of the zircons’ designs: Paul Villeco showed
Rebecca history about a night club in Paris called Le Monocle, the monocle as this iconic lesbian fashion statement. Other
inspirations include: What’s the Truth about Mother Goose, Jughead and Film
Film Film
- The Unfamiliar Familiar is a reference to ‘His Dark Materials’
- When asked if gems who have their gem over their eye have
any sight impairments, Rebecca said, “I think it could affect their depth
perception but I don’t know if gems necessarily function the way humans do. I
think, if anything, they might even have some sort of enhanced sight (…) like,
your gem placement I think has a lot do, like I said, with you as a person. And
even Eyeball, I mean, was sort of scrutinizing everything. Then I suppose also
other senses could be heightened but that’s very human. I think gems—gems are
different. They work a little differently.”
McKenzie: “So does that mean Jasper has a really good sense of smell?”
Rebecca: “Oh, that I don’t know. Maybe not. I mean that was sort of just a
simple—like hard-nosed thought as a way a person could be.”
- It is possible for a non-fusion gem to have the same
gem-type as a fusion (e.g. a Garnet that is just one gem) It would look
different though
- Rebecca would like to have an OK K.O. crossover.
- Back when OK K.O. was called Lakewood Plaza
Turbo, Rebecca and Ian hoped that to have a crossover called Stewood Plaven
Turbiverse, resulting in mushing the 2 shows together. Characters would include
Mr. Gar-net (Garnet & Mr. Gars), K-ven (Steven & K.O.), Penid (Pearl &
Enid), and Radethyst (Amethyst & Radecles)
