@Chibaakurokay The opening was three minutes long so it probably took a lot less time to make compared to a normal episode of Steven Universe.

Ben Levin, a Steven Universe writer, made this reply to a question about the process of writing an episode:

It shows how stories of episodes are susceptible to changing. Maybe the Crewniverse use Steven Universe hiatuses to make changes to the overall story.

Adventure Time, another Cartoon Network show that Rebecca Sugar worked on, made a fan-character named Me-Mow canon:

Steven Universe MIGHT also make fan-characters canon as well.

I wouldn’t say it is stealing as long as Rebecca Sugar gives credit.

As for my confidence, I’ve seen and heard things from Steven Universe and various other types of media that I perceived as omens towards my Gemsonas becoming canon.

Examples of omens for Heliodor becoming canon:

In Steven’s dream from “Lion 3: Straight to Video” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60tYKEgrXIk),   the first thing we see is a stylised sun that is a circle surrounded by triangles. The sun symbol on Heliodor’s left trouser leg is also a circle surrounded by triangles. In Steven’s dream, the sky and the colour of Steven’s checkers are yellow, which is Heliodor’s colour.

In the “How Are Gems Made?” short at the 1:21 mark (https://youtu.be/Fp0xck_03rs?t=1m21s), the Sun in the top left corner suddenly gains a frowny face as it looks at the Earth being ruined by Gem production. Heliodor is Greek for “gift of the sun”, has solar-based abilities and like the Sun in the short, she doesn’t want the Earth to suffer because of Gem production.

In episode 35 of Digimon Fusion, a Digimon named Ignitemon was assisting an evil army that was terrorising the residents of his home because he was scared of losing to them. His weapons are chakrams and it is later revealed that he is the younger brother of Mervamon, who is twice as tall, stronger and fighting as a part of the resistance. Ignitemon and Mervamon look like each other and end up fighting because of their conflicting opinions. Ignitemon is eventually convinced by a girl named Nene, who also has a younger brother like Mervamon, to stop fighting his sister.

Heliodor, like Ignitemon, wields chakrams, has an older sister who is taller and physically stronger and becomes at odds with them due to a conflict. Heliodor’s sister is Jasper.

The Sonic R song, “Can You Feel the Sunshine?”, fits Heliodor like a glove:

Examples of omens for Peach becoming canon:

The first silhouette Gem we see in “The Answer” looks a lot like Peach and even has a similar pose:

The first silhouette Gem is one of the last seven silhouette gems we see and she appears in the middle. It’s as if Crewniverse is sending me a message. Like Dogcopter said in “Lion 3: Straight to Video”, “Making art is all about communication. A piece of art is a conversation. Every choice you make is a statement.”

In Pearl’s dream from “Chille Tid” (https://youtu.be/XWUxdNgvT-8), we see the sun and the moon with smiley faces while Pearl is saying “I’m just having so much fun spending time with you Rose!”, which kind of echoes the kind of relationship Heliodor and Peach would have. This was the first omen that got me thinking that Heliodor and Peach would become canon.

Like the Digimon, Dianamon, Peach is moon themed, fights with a cutting weapon, can use cryokinesis and has extreme cold resistance. Dianamon’s counterpart is Apollomon. Like Apollomon, Heliodor is sun themed and can use pyrokinesis.
