I have decided that steven universe is a gothic narrative. decaying ruined structures that symbolize links to a forgotten past, the discovery of horrific family ties, being haunted by a dead mother via the self, grief so acute it ends a dynasty, blurring the boundaries of identity and the body, extended foreboding dream sequences, wrongful vengeance quests for the sins of the father.
