steven, i LOVE you, but
"as much as i've looooved dismantling the empire and saving all your planets" is the absolute most FULL of it possible way you could've ever stated this concept
it's probably for the best he stepped the fuck away and didn't "take" the throne as white and the others wanted him to, i really don't think he needed the ego boost

just going ahead and permanently saving my tags as a reply here bc tbh i might as well have put it in the original post
also, as a sub-note, all of this is literally just. compensation on his part. he's inflating himself with all the euphoria of his own past accomplishments to compensate for the cold hard fact that he doesn't have a clear established life purpose anymore. (well, by the time of the movie he KINDA still has one... he and the rest of the CGs are building Little Homeworld... but still.) everything isn't as simple as it was back in his earlier childhood anymore, and i think he already Knows that deep down, and it scares him. so instead of thinking about all that... "yayyy! I saved the whole Gem empire from themselves! I've done so much good, go me!"
makes sense to me.
the cracks that only further deepen in SUF are already showing up. in his mind, he is Already living in the shadow of the steven he once was.
