In my ongoing quest to make my reading page somewhat less than 75% feeds

I did some interest searches yesterday, and discovered that there is a Steven Universe comm, steven_universe_universe... but it seems to be pretty dead, and the mod is MIA. BUT! The Reading Page is not completely inactive (even if it's mostly people who are also on my reading list), so in a spirit of giddy nostalgia I've made a post for discussion of the last two episodes!

"But Connie, we're having a discussion right here!"

Yup, I know.

"And those people are probably discussing over in other, active parts of the internet!"

Yup, I know.

"And there's no way you'll be able to drum up an active discussion there!"

Yup, I know. But I'm trying anyway.

Boy, it sure was snowy out there!

Hope everybody's warm and cozy!
