Fanart For @empanadastheresurrection ‘s AU Because I’m Absolutely In Love With These Girls

Cute little @empanadastheresurrection ‘s direction AU Connie doodle??

(I have so many more I didn’t just want to overdo it on my first actual try being a fangirl (is it working am I nonchalant enough))

Im shure SOMEONE noticed that the fist two lines of Greg and Steven’s love songs both start with the same lines pointing out their (biggest?) insecurities. Just wanted to point it out, because I did NOT make a fool of myself by yelling out loud in public transport after I realised.

It just feels a little ironic when you think about it. He’s spent his entire life surrounded by Gems—beings born with purpose and identity, their purpose and reason for existing decided from the moment they emerge from the ground. Steven trying to mirror the adults (as a child does), but that’s hopeless because Steven is different. As a half-human, he has to grow, learn, and figure out who he’s meant to be over time. He just doesn’t see it because no one tells him otherwise. (Like when he sings, “I’ll fight to be everything that everybody wants me to be when I’m grown,” and I believe he said something along the lines of, “I want to know what I’m for,” when he encountered Cloud Rose?? (Correct me if I’m wrong))

He’s constantly trying to be his mother from his Gem side—partly because everyone expects him to, and partly because it’s the only blueprint of purpose he’s been handed. But on the human side, he’s trying to emulate his father. Greg is the only consistent human influence he’s known, whether it’s wearing Greg’s old, unsold merchandise shirts or adopting his dad’s laid-back, carefree style, down to the flipflops and nutritional, musical habits etc.

It’s bittersweet really.. Even after their disagreement, Steven still clings to Greg as a beacon of what Steven is supposed to be as a human confessing his love (and therefore his music as a guide.) He borrows from his father’s most successful song for the opening lines of his own deeply emotional, personal song. It’s like he’s trying to bridge the gap between what he’s been told he should be and who he’s desperately trying to become?

“you’re wonderful” :,)

Right so circling back to what I said earlier…

‘Connie’s theme’ might actually be one of the most beautiful and personal instrumentals a fictional character has ever gotten. I’m NOT kidding when I tell you her theme violently rips the actual heartstrings out of my chest.

I just love how gentle it is! The major-minor progression throughout the song makes it feel like you’re listening to her journey as a developing teenager/her personality on its own. You really walk through her many feelings and sides to her: she can be unsure of herself as she’s carefully experiencing many firsts with Steven, but she can also be so very confident, funny, silly, empathic, caring and smart. I feel like I can really hear all of this back in the song!

I also like how the violin slowly takes the lead throughout her song, because it’s the instrument her parents initially made her play. I like to think the violin taking over the melody in the second half is Connie taking control over her life: finding a purpose and individuality after learning how to set healthy boundaries towards her parents, and after she learns how to set emotional boundaries for herself. Learning to be with Steven, but not live for just him.

I also like to think the tiny keyboard “sparkles” symbolise Steven helping her along and guiding her on this journey.. Do not get me started on the use of this theme in the show (like with stevonnie) because I will NOT shut up. Actually I could yap your ear off about all of the music in SU like the diamonds themes etc. This one just sticks out to me a little more 💗

Excuse the rambling but music just makes me feel so darn much. I AM walking down the aisle to this song period. If you read all of this 5 big booms to you 💥💥💥💥💥

Im very busy with school atm so here’s a little sapphire doodle I made!

Since I’m working on a big project now I guess I’ll post some gravity falls doodles I made in class earlier this year..
