Puberty, you tricky bastard... I wish I could care, but not only did they botch up their initial falling out, they told us Steven and Connie would return to friendly terms before we even knew there would BE a falling out! I know it's not a big surprise, but even still, by the time this hiatus ends, we're going have to put up with a pointless, cliche, weak falling out between two people we know are gonna make up. And trust me, since it's Steven Universe, they're gonna drag it out. We might even get another hiatus before Lars of the Stars, who knows. It's like the Liar revealed plotline, only this time, it's even longer, and there's no lie- just Steven being an ignorant moron and Connie being a whiny baby.....

But seriously, I HOPE there's some kind of point to this arc- right now it seems to be for the purpose of having Steven learn that people can be hurt emotionally, which is something only a sociopath needs to learn, and something Steven should be more aware of than anyone, considering how the pain of others can literally cause him pain, and how almost every gem he's met have deep psychological turmoil that they're hurt by to this day.

Steven should KNOW this already, he shouldn't have to "learn" this. character development I dunno, is it? Steven has been able to grasp the concept that people can be emotionally hurt before; This, to me, feels like character regression, only to redevelop him to the same level he was at before. It's like Steven took a step back, and then stepped forward so that he's standing exactly where he was before. Can you really call that progress? i was being sarcastic
