Song Analysis

Many of the songs in Steven Universe are heartwarming, but they do have a deeper meaning.  As I analyze the song Sworn to the Sword or also known as You do it for her/him, you may start to see what I mean. Now I picked this song for it's meaning and it is one of my favorites. The story line of that episode that also contributes to the song is very, as I said before, heart warming. The story line is basically Pearl having known Rose, Steven's mother and having a close relationship with her. Being her guard in the gem war and her having to give up her physical form to have Steven, it might have taken a large toll on Pearl. So as Steven brings Connie to practice sword fighting with Pearl, she turns Connie into a guard to Steven. The song represents how she is taught and how she learns. Then, to show what had happened in the war in bits and pieces, she shows Steven and Connie about what she has done to help Rose. As Pearl starts to make Connie a lot like her, Steven feels weird about the training. Connie realizes when Steven helps her that she has gone very far and should stop before she gets hurt. They stick together, Pearl doesn’t like the outcome at the end.The song is one that shows us even when you are protecting your friends that sometimes you need to think of yourself and how it will affect your friend. It may be hard, but it’s good as long as you do it together.

Mabel's Universe

In the episode 'Weirdmagetton Pt2' Mabel has her own type of universe in the bubble Bill has created. In the universe the people like to call it perfect and it somehow knows what you want before you know you want it. Now this is my type of explanation to how that works.  Knowing all the weird stuff in gravity falls it is hard to determine, how this world can guess your thoughts before you. Now judging by the bubbly personality of Mabel, she likes to make people happy and she uses this talent through the world judging by the things that have been added. Waddles the pig, the stuffed animal tree and other things that are in the episode are the only people to go into the bubble Mabel knew. She knew about each of their fears and things that made them happy.  As an example for Soos, she conjured his dad in a form she could make as cool as possible. Now I know this isn't her mind because the world can think about her before herself, but it is more of a replica something exactly the same with additional properties. Now, Bill, being a evil being,  could easily make an evil duplicate of Mabel and make it so that the land she has is perfect for her with everyone else as a disguise. Then  Bill  can keep all the things keeping him away from victory inside this bubble of her universe, Judging by how she let go of the fantasy and turned it into  reality, the world turned into a dark place and this might be because the other Mabel was to keep the real Mabel at bay in this world.
