Have you ever heard of a show called Steven Universe? You should have. It’s really good! And the fandom is even better…

This is going to be an appreciation of Steven Universe. Which I WORSHIP.

Anyway, can I just start this off with: FOR SOME REASON STEVEN LOOKS LIKE A FIVE YEAR OLD BUT IS ACTUALLY FOURTEEN. WOW. This could probably be because of the fact that gems are immortal, so he’ll either age slower or look young forever. So, Steven is the main character. He is half gem. Gems are literally gemstones that are alive. They are aliens too. They have their own world known as Homeworld, which is ruled by the Diamonds. The Diamonds are the stereotypical evil leaders. There is Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond, White Diamond, and Pink Diamond. Steven’s mother is Rose Quartz, who led a rebellion called the Crystal Gems. Now, the only Crystal Gems left are Steven,  Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. Rose Quartz passed on her gem to Steven, so she’s not alive anymore. Steven is also half human. Gems can also fuse with each other, making new gems. The character Garnet is a permafusion, meaning that the two gems that make her won’t unfuse very often (cough cough pretty much never). Garnet is a fusion between a Ruby and a Sapphire. The Crystal Gems mainly now defend the Earth against gems on the Diamonds’ side. Another thing… Rose Quartz shattered Pink Diamond, meaning she cracked Pink’s gem (all Gems have a gem which their bodies are projected from, and the gems are stuck to parts of their bodies) into lots of different pieces so that she’s permanently dead.

WARNING DON’T READ THIS NEXT BIT IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE NEWER STEVEN UNIVERSE EPISODES.

EXCEPT, Pink Diamond changed her shape into Rose Quartz so that she didn’t have to live the life of a Diamond and could love Earth.  There was a plot to make Pink disappear so that she could live life as RQ. This is literally AMAZING.

OKAY KEEP READING. IT IS SAFE NOW.

Amethyst is a defective gem, meaning she didn’t develop right. Pearls are mainly used as assistants to more powerful gems, but Pearl was the Pearl of a Diamond (people say she was Pink’s Pearl but I think she was actually White’s so… yeah), but she ran away. Now Gems mainly try to attack Earth to make it into a colony and develop more gems on it, which would kill or enslave all of humanity.

The fandom is AMAZING THOUGH. Fans have created unofficial gems, there are theories, fan fictions (I participate in the fan fiction aspect a lot) and overall the fandom is probably just as famous and widespread as the actual show.

That’s enough for now. Go watch the show yourself! As I have been saying, STEVEN UNIVERSE IS AMAZING. Bye!
