i love the crystal gems as a family. a lot of people were looking for the gems to be explicitly "condemned" in future for lowkey messing up steven's childhood but.. that wasn't what mattered for steven nor the narrative. so many family stories are jaded or are in response to jaded depictions--"it's okay because they care!" but it's okay because steven himself cares. maybe steven lashing out at the gems for his upbringing would be cathartic to some, but it's not what mattered anymore. he just wanted love.

#steven universe #also this is just the message of the show wrt the diamonds #i literally have a random number generator pulled up and am watching random su episodes #so prepare for me talking about random episodes seasons apart #(i just watched together breakfast and its so sweet...#like ok yes the gems are pretty much neglecting steven. and this is a trend that will continue.#but they united to make breakfast anyways...)#like insert that one rebecca sugar interview about how ppl have different ideas of escapism #ive noticed a lot of people's escapism is being able to tell their family how much theyve been hurt by them #but oh im a sap so i love that they all love each other :(#thats my escapism
