Haiku Life Lessons From Stevenbombs 2 & 3

This summer has been quite the ride for us Steven Universe fans. First we had the show’s hiatus starting in late April, which drove the fandom to madness and even led us to jump on the fan theory bandwagon. Luckily that only lasted about a month and a half before our “patience” was rewarded with a second Stevenbomb (a week of 5 new episodes back-to-back) in mid-June, followed shortly by a third one in mid-July.

The only downside to being bombarded with 10 new episodes is the volume of world-building and character development that we have to process in a relatively short period. And considering that the show is already resuming at its regular pace next week (starting August 6th on Cartoon Network), we aren’t left with much time to sort it all out. 07/31/15 Update: Cartoon Network’s schedule has been revised—we now have an extra month before the show resumes…

While I could go on for pages with detailed analyses of these episodes, Tim Foley’s already got you covered. Instead, I’ve opted to deliver the core morals of the last 10 episodes in the lovably brief form of haiku poetry. If nothing else, these easily digestible bits of wisdom are good reminders that beneath all of the action, drama and feels, there’s always a solid take-home message.

I’ve kept the spoilers at a minimum, but continue at your own risk.
