Steven Universe has become a Cartoon Network fan favorite. Titled after its lead protagonist, it follows Steven’s journey in learning how to control the gem powers he inherited from his mother with the help of the Crystal Gems– three gem- based extraterrestrial beings who are the self- proclaimed guardians of the earth. This ongoing series masterfully highlights the human experience.

Steven Universe has gained a lot of popularity for its musical styles and views on gender, but there are many facts about it that fans don't know.

If you are new to the fandom or if you love it and want more fun facts about Steven Universe, then you’ve come to the right place, because we are loaded with information. Here are the 1. 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Steven Universe. Steven is a Musical Prodigy.

Music plays a huge role in Steven Universe. From the very beginning of the series, we are introduced to songs like “Cookie Cat” and “Giant Woman”, and are built up to songs such as “Stronger Than You” and “What’s the Use of Feeling (Blue)?”. Within this time, we learn that Steven is a gifted musician who can sing and play the ukulele. We even learn, in a clip released by Cartoon Network, that Steven wrote the music and the lyrics to the theme song “We Are The Crystal Gems” when he was only a toddler. In the clip, Steven is seen with his dad in the back of his dad’s van with Crystal Gems, showcasing his song on the beach to a montage of him growing up and becoming a Crystal Gem. Ronaldo Fryman’s Blog “Keep Beach City Weird” Exists In Real Life.

If you’ve been keeping up with Steven Universe since season 1, you’ll know that the character Ronaldo Fryman gets his first speaking role in the episode “Cat Fingers” when he snaps a photo of Steven’s morphed fingers for his blog Keep Beach City Weird. Twenty- five episodes later, in the episode titled after his blog, we learn more about Keep Beach City Weird and how it is meant to account for and uncover the mysterious, extraterrestrial super- phenomena taking place in Beach City. This blog, filled with conspiracy theories and anime references, isn’t just a fictional concept made for television. The creators of Steven Universe turned Keep Beach City Weird into a real blog for fans to enjoy.

The blog also updates spontaneously, so you never know when the next blog post will release. Steven Universe is Filled with Pop Culture Easter Eggs. If you haven’t noticed already, there are many pop culture references made in Steven Universe.

From Steven’s video gaming collection to the Sailor Moon manga found inside his nightstand in the episode “House Guest”, Rebecca Sugar has found many ways to incorporate the anime, tv series, and video games that have influenced her work into her own television show. Watch Quarantine Online (2017) here. A noteworthy episode that pays homage to a timeless classic goes to “Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service”.

Its title is in reference to the Studio Ghibli film Kiki’s Delivery Service, a coming- of- age story about a young girl who’s determined to succeed in completing her apprenticeship as a witch. However, the title itself isn’t the only reference made. This episode pays respect to multiple pop culture icons such as A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The End of Evangelion, Astro Boy, Dragon Ball Z, and Cyborg 0.

The Crystal Gems’ Fighting Styles Are Based On Different Dance Styles. The Crystal Gems take dance battle to the next level, incorporating several types of dance moves into their fighting styles. While wielding her spear, Pearl’s battle style incorporates beautifully elegant and precise movements found in ballet. Amethyst, on the other hand, who is much wilder and fights with a whip, combines dancehall and club dancing. Her signature dance move is the stanky leg. Garnet, the Leader, who fights with her star- studded gauntlets, incorporates a dance move called “waacking” into her fighting style.

For those who are unfamiliar with waacking, it is a dance that was created in the LGBTQ clubs of Los Angeles. This style of dancing consists of moving the arms to the beat of the music, and contains elements of posing and footwork. Yellow Diamond Is Voiced By Two- Time Tony Winner Patti Lupone. If you were keeping up with the 2. Tony Award nominations, then the name Patti Lupone should sound familiar to you. She was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her role as Helena Rubenstein in War Paint. Aside from being a nominee for many awards throughout the years, Lupone has won two Tony awards as Best Lead Actress in a Musical in 1.

This amazing actress/songstress made her debut Steven Universe appearance as the ruthless Yellow Diamond in episode “Message Received”, where she picks up a call from Peridot, thanks her for her report, and then detonates their communicator when Peridot later disagrees with her orders. From this point, Lupone sang her first Steve tune in the episode “That Will Be All”, when she tries to console Blue Diamond in the most unfeeling way. Rose Quartz’s Armory is Modeled After The Bat Cave. Rose Quartz’s Armory is a secret headquarter located inside a cave on top of a cliff not too far from a warp pad. Her Armory made its first appearance in the episode “Lion 2: The Movie”, when Steven, Connie, and Lion were transported there instead of to their movie premiere. Due to the fact that Rose is no longer there, Steven is the only one who can activate the central access point to the Armory. When activated, the center platform lights up and cases filled with weapons and gadgets appear.

The concept of the Armory is reminiscent of Batman’s Batcave. From the suits of armor encased in glass to the giant memorabilia penny, Rose’s Armory is a reference to the DC superhero and comic book legend. Peridot Has an Official Twitter Feed. If you’re a fan of the newest member of the Crystal Gems, take out your phone, log in to your Twitter account and follow Peridot @Periodot. XG. No, this is not a drill. Peridot’s Twitter feed is canon and is being run by the creators of Steven Universe, including storyboard artist and revisionist Lauren Zuke. This feed is perfect for those who need a break from the insane politics, from all the celebrity drama, and from the overall craziness found on Twitter.

Peridot, our clumsy genius queen of sass who proclaims herself as the “Leader of all Crystal Gems,” delivers her tweets with an other- world perspective. From posting cryptic photos of spoons to endlessly tweeting variations of her maniacal laughter, Peridot’s feed has gained over 1. K followers. 8. Rose Quartz Shape Shifted A Womb In Order To Give Birth To Steven. In learning more about the Kindergarten in later episodes, it is revealed that gems aren’t birthed like organic life forms; they’re typically made from rock formations. The only gem who wasn’t created from rocks is Steven. While answering a question on Tumblr, Supervising Director Ian Jones- Quartey explained that Steven was made by mixing human DNA and gem DNA, which means he had to be born through biological reproductive means. With that being said, Rose Quartz shape shifted a womb for Steven to be born from.

As strange as it sounds, it doesn’t seem as farfetched as it could be. Gems do have the power to shape shift, as demonstrated by Amethyst in countless episodes. However, the question remains: is this explanation convoluted, or does it make sense? There’s a Steven Universe Comic Book Series. In 2. 01. 4, writer Jeremy Sores and artist Coleman Engle took part in the release of a Steven Universe comic book series published by Boom!
