Nightly Discussion #129

Week of Opal is underway! Hope you enjoyed day 1. Don't forget to send in all your Opal related works! I feel like Amethyst and Pearl's relationship has definitely grown in the show. It almost feels like the Crewniverse is trying to pair them up at times. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it because they're my OTP. Well, have a good chat!

AMV: Kiss With A Fist

Check out this great Pearl and Amethyst AMV! The song fits pretty well with how their relationship began in the series. They seem to be a lot closer and nicer to each other, even when they have their little tiffs. Watch the AMV, after the break!

Tumblr Spotlight: Pearl the Gem

I'm a big fan of the art style of this Tumblr! The updates are a bit infrequent, but this also means that it's easy to get caught up! Amethyst, Garnet, and Steven have all made an apperance, so this ask blog isn't limited to only Pearl. The art is really well done for this ask blog, and the expressions are amazing. Be sure to check out Pearl the Gem and give a follow!

Pearl the Gem - Current Page - First Page

We'd love to hear from you guys about other tumblrs out there dedicated to the SU universe, whether it be OCs, characters from the show, alternate universes or what have you. If you have a tumblr to share send it to beachcitybugle@gmail.com for review. Remember, no pornographic material or extreme gore, keep submissions as PG-13 or below as possible.

'Giant Woman' Storyboards From Jeff Liu and Joe Johnston!

Check out these cool storyboards from Jeff Liu and Joe Johnston! They're timed out, which means they appear animated! Check out these cool pieces of the animation process, after the break!

Animation: Pearl and Amethyst Fuse Into Opal

A neat little sketchy animation that an SU fan put together of how they think Pearl and Amethyst's fusion dance would go. We never did get to see the dance they finally used to form Opal, so it is entirely up to fan speculation! Check out the short animation below.

Spotlight Music: Reborn

Check out this amazing fan song inspired by Dance of Swords. Dance of Swords is my personal favorite song of the entire series, so I really enjoyed this fan music. There are hints of We Are the Crystal Gems near the end, and throughout the song it can definitely be heard how Dance of Swords relates to this song. Be sure to give it a listen, after the break!

Comic: Smooth / Dreams / New Look

We're starting off Week of Opal with some Pearl and Amethyst themed comics!

Doug Walker Vlogs 'On the Run'

This episode may have started out with Steven and Amethyst, but the character development really took off when Pearl showed up. This was a great episode for the pair of them, and helped strengthen their relationship as well as glossing over Amethyst's origin. Check out the latest SU vlog from Doug Walker, after the break!
