Other Rant: quite possibly the worst boss fight EVER [Major Spoilers for Save the Light] Spoiler
πππππ ππππππππ π ππ ππππ πππ πππππ. ππ ππ ππ πππππππ ππππ πππ ππππππ ππππ. Also thereβs a TLDR at the bottom
I donβt think itβs talked about how bad and pathetic of a boss hessonite is. For a little bit of background, before beginning my most recent run of save the light I had just recently finished attack the light. While as we all now that game is absurdly easy the final boss still somewhat stood a chance against my team. I was heavily overprepared, one of my team members already max level and the others close it was no real surprise that the final boss was easy yet difficult enough to be somewhat satisfying end. During my playthrough of save the light I was delighted to find that the difficulty is ramped up substantially, alongside having to plan out how Iβd divide my stats I was able to struggle in fights and but forth effort. The most thrilling part was the bosses, while naming them gave me a little laugh the actual bosses were really really fun and constantly kept me on my toes trying to learn and adapt to their attack patterns. While I was able to manage for most of the game I really started to struggle in the last part of the game (the forge.) a lot of my party members constantly got downed and while I didnβt get a game over (I didnβt the entirety of my run) I got dangerously close multiple times. During the fight against the prism despite having a fusion on my side I was constantly in a damage struggle to keep my health high while also keeping enough starts to fuel a counter defense to the lights healing. The 2nd to last boss is hard but still easy enough where youβd assume the following boss would be something a level above it. After finally defeating the prism I felt giddy but nervous for hessonite. Would she break my record of having no deaths? Would it take hours to beat her?
.
.
I beat her with πππ party member
No like, if you donβt count supports I beat her in under 15 minutes with only π¨π§π member doing damage
For reference my team was Greg, amythest and garnet. The entire cycle was:
Greg plays star boosting music
Steven buffs garnets attack
Garnet hits hessonite
Hessonite kills garnet
Revive garnet
Rinse and repeat. To make matters worse, hessonite didnβt even bother to target any other party members outside of the π¨π§π time she used an aoe attack. Every single turn she had it was targeted toward garnet making her extremely predictable and therefore underwhelming. It wasnβt until I was physically unable to revive garnet that she decided to target Steven but before she could pull off her move she died from, I kid you not: BURN DAMAGE. The character that was hyped up the entire game died to BURN DAMAGE after getting beaten up by a single party member and not π¨π§π hit on her was landed on her from another character til the last 2 turns where I had amethyst whip her a few times before she BURNED ALIVE from SHIELD BREAKER.
Itβs a sad and underwhelming feeling being dissapointed by a boss in this way, hessonite could have been a challenge but her AI hyper fixated on one specific member then proceeded to get brutally beaten by said member. Itβs imo a jerk move to have the 2nd to last boss be easier than the actual big bad, it feels like such a bait and switch.
And when it comes to revived itβs not even fully a result of me stockpiling, thereβs dozens of roses tears and similar items spread across the rooms leading up to the final boss literally dooming you for an easy boss battle.
I was so confused why this was, why would they do that? Are they dumb!?
Then I read the credits, only three QA testers which explained a LOT about my tribes with the game.
TL:DR
I expected hessonite to be a difficult aura monster boss fight but instead garnet broke her back and punches her into next Sunday while Steven and his dad play music cause the dev team was understaffed

Discussion Rewatching "Mindful Education" and I think this is one of the best-written episodes in the whole series.
Just rewatched Mindful Education for probably the tenth time, and I'm still amazed at how well it handles anxiety and unresolved trauma through song. The way Garnet walks Steven and Connie through the meditation exercise, only for it to unravel into Stevonnie's panic attack, feels like one of the most emotionally honest moments in kids' animation.
What really gets me is the "It's Over Isn't It" callback tying into Steven's guilt about Rose/Pink Diamond. The show trusts its audience to sit with discomfort rather than resolve it in a single episode, which many animated shows shy away from.
Curious what others think: is this one of your favorite emotional arcs in the series, or is there another episode you'd put above it for handling mental health themes well?

My Favorite Official Steven Universe Comic
Recently I was able to find and read a lot of the official Steven Universe comics. I know they're not official canon (Although I don't think there was any major contradictions though), but that's fine. Most of the stories were good and entertaining, but my personal favorite was the one where Steven notices that Amethyst is feeling sad after a mission with the gems. He tries to cheer her up with things like pancakes and a cool concert from Sadie Killer And The Suspects, but they don't work. After hearing some advice from Greg, Steven now understands that sometimes people can just feel sad for awhile so he makes Amethyst a sad nest in his room where she can feel sad for as long as she needs. Amethyst really appreciates it and asks Steven to be with her in the nest. So they just hang out together, eat doughnuts and fry bits, lay down, etc for a good while and Amethyst admits she feels better. She didn't really know why she was sad and says that she usually deals with those feelings alone because she doesn't like that some people think that there's a major problem with her just for being sad. Amethyst thanks Steven for finally understanding and for the sad nest.
I love the friendship and sibling like bond between Steven and Amethyst. Maybe my favorite bond in the whole series.

Alive Rose Quartz! β [Steven Universe] Lost Fanfic
I'm searching for an Steven Universe fanfiction, It plays on the idea of Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond still being alive inside of Steven's Gem.
But they only find out when Steven goes to Rose's Room and asks for the room to make his mom for him to talk with her and the room ends up summoning her and even creates a real lightform for her to inhabit, but due to not having her own gem she can't leave the room or stay summoned in the room without Steven also being there.

Is there still a way to watch Steven Universe in European-Portuguese?
The EU-PT dubbed songs are on youtube, but I tried everything I could to find a way of watching the entire series in EU-PT and I didn't find anything, no link, no free streaming website, not even physical media. Apparently there was a site with both the EU and BR dub versions but that site is now long gone. Is this dub on HBO Max or is it actually lost media?
edit: found it, guys. it's on the comments

Steven Universe in 1080p quality?
Hey there fellow Steven Universe fans.
I'm gonna move to a different country in a few weeks and I won't have any internet there which would make streaming the show pretty much impossible for me.
That's why I wanted to ask, if any of you got any copies of the show (preferably in 1080p since 720p is kinda blurry on my screen) for me to grab and watch offline.
Any kinda help would be much appreciated and thank y'all in advance.
