That Steven is starting to pick up on the fact that certain people blame him for his mother's fate hits me right in the feels.

It's then when I realized, this isn't just a kid anymore. He's a selfless, surprisingly upbeat person. But deep down, he's depressed. He's worried. He's SCARED. And he's hurt. And that's something someone who acts like him should never have to worry about.

Also, I have a weird feeling that if Steven and Amethyst ever end up fusing, they will end up being a fun-spirited person, but clumsy and, from their pasts and being so clumsy, self-conscious.



Really, I didn't expect "Joy Ride" to bring on the feels but that one quote and it's implications really got to me. The Gems are the only ones who he could turn to when it came to "magical Gem stuff" and now he doesn't have anybody. Not to mention they are his adopted mother figures as well - for him, their "son", to feel that they blame him for something as serious as the death of his mom... Dang it, Steven Universe. You're supposed to be a cartoon!
