5. All CN shows have Summer hiatuses.

6. Amethyst obviously wasn't worried about falling; she dismissed it as "embarassing" and obviously didn't give a shit.

Also Fusion Cuisine is crap lmaoooo

7. This seems petty to me. Steven and Pearl sang and didn't really interfere with each other, and Steven didn't interfere with Amethyst either.

8.

A: This is straight-up stupid. The Crewniverse didn't make the episode to spite theorists; these episodes were planned before along with the plot.

B: The monster drove Amethyst's entire character arc in this episode, and gave us new Amethyst.

C: Amethyst was not OoC in this episode; everything that Amethyst did this episode is something Amethyst would do.

D: There's a theory that explains this rather well. Gems require a certain amount of focus to maintain their bodily constructs. Amethyst's angst drifted attention off of her form, causing her to be poofed easier. Just a theory, but a good one.

9. This is the most annoying idea that people have in their heads about this show.''' SU has no filler, and let me explain why. '''

The show, while having several different tones and subplots throughout, has one central plot that never changes; Steven growing and maturing. This is a coming-of-age show. The Homeworld subplot (it's a subplot) is less than 1/8th of the series. The growth of Steven has been in every episode in some way or another, almost as omnipresently as the Gems themselves.

The term you are looking for is slice-of-life, which isn't inherently bad. The characters around Steven are just as much a part of the plot as Homeworld, or the Kindergarten. Without the slice-of-life, the show would be too serious all the time. Keep in mind, this show is marketed to children first and foremost.

TL;DR: SU has no filler. The plot is Steven's growth, which is present everywhere. Slice-Of-Life =/= Filler.

10. Yeah I have no idea what that thing is

11. How is that the show? Why does the fandom ruin the show when you can watch the show without being in the fandom?
