![]() ![]() And that’s the kicker-Rose never told about this storage, not even Pearl. We have collections from prior days: Rose’s Greg Universe shirt, the gem war flag, the chest, etc, that are just sitting there until they’re used again. Lion’s mane harbors a lot of paraphernalia that Steven’s mother has placed inside as a form of storage. What Steven decides to do with the painting, however, is a telling sign that not only will his mother continue to haunt him, but his own actions will come to bite him back. With the portrait, removing indication of the past-and prior heartache-is one of the ways he desires to move on from her, but as Steven Universe: Future shows, it’s not an easy process. His views are mixed and full of baggage, and one can’t blame him for wanting her consequences out of his life. The episode “Volleyball” makes it clear that Steven doesn’t want any more of these revelations towards her and who she was. In the main series, it carried messages of inquiry, lack of insight, and past influence in the new series, it harbors the weight of the harsh truth, the truth Steven desperately wants to stop looking at. ![]() So her portrait, to put it simply, is a burden placed on the gem family. Her ideas of love and compassion started to develop bit by bit through the people she’s met, even continuing to learn this when she became intimate with Greg. To add to it, she had to go through a lot of misconceptions over what she wanted, what was needed, and just how to go about herself as her character progressed up until Steven’s birth. The positioning of her portrait as well adds another meaning of vision, for her appearance looms over them like a ghost of the past, making the audience believe that there’s silent perspicacity. She’s been perceived as a wise martyr by her family and friends, yet the amount of unseen backstory starts to spill as questions of her goal and her actions become solidified into the gems’ world. It gives a reason to why literature pieces such as “Oedipus” were popular, for our vision helps us navigate a world that could seem unfriendly or foreign but could go against us if hubris or other weaknesses of the human character blind one to the truth.įor Rose Quartz, the implication of her clarity has been questioned numerous times. It could be biased perceptions or open-minded perspective, but the main goal for this motif was to emphasize some message on one’s judgment of particular things. Then there’s stuff such as Open Book’s Connie, where fake Connie has one eye covered in light the main conflict in that episode going over the topics of miscommunication, lack of clarity, and the illusion of normalcy even when one’s hurting.Īnd don’t forget Connie’s rose-colored glasses.Įyes, throughout classical and contemporary fiction, were always associated with the theme of vision-the ability to see the reality of your world (or other worlds) through a paradigm. In fact, the painting you’re seeing of Rose Quartz has her eyes closed, and one of the few beginning shots in the main series shows her portrait’s vision being blocked by supports.Īnd Garnet, our lovely permafusion, has the motif of the third eye-and the many connections we can correlate this towards clarity and otherworldly perception are there. ![]() And with that, let us begin.įor background, eye symbolism is pretty common with Steven Universe. Of course, I will reblog my sources if you’re curious about where I get my information. My moment to make a post about eye symbolism has finally come.Īll right, so people have been looking at this shot of Rose for a while, and I’d like to talk about the implication of not only this shot but how it could correlate to Steven’s current emotional status at this point in the series. ![]()
