What is canon? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

What I find interesting is that apparently, now Steven has stable control over his shield (bubble). It can be made to appear anytime he needs to be protected, and he knows how to make it go away (clapping hands, waving it away?).

As for the other shield, it's weird that sometimes it doesn't come from his gem, it comes from his arm. Is that possible?! And to sum up: Steven summons his bubble when he needs to protect himself or another specific person(s). His other shield is summoned when he feels emotional care for somebody else in danger, or responding to his feelings and need (e.g. To protect the crystal gems from the gem warship's lazer thingy). Is he the first character to summon more than one variation of a weapon? I mean not varied on size or ability, just different look and purpose
