the urge to rewatch steven universe is incredibly strong
#look ok. i know the fanbase was insufferable. that’s why ive avoided even mentioning that i ever liked that show#but the truth is the show was wonderful. the fans were bad and the discourse was horrific and i’m very glad i managed to avoid all of it#but the show is amazing i truly could say so many positive things about it#and i got into it at a time when i was going through a very rough time#with a lot of topics that were handled quite well in the show. and steven was always a painfully relatable character for me#because of his fucked up relationship to his mom. his whole existence as a character i think really made me feel understood#im sad that cartoon network’s homophobia messed things up how it did and i’m sad the fandom was so terrible#that the show ended up becoming hated and “cringe” the way it did#because it was always such a wonderful show#it deserved so much better
