A Few Fan Theories Regarding "Steven Universe"

Written by Shae

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

I really don't know what possessed me to watch Steven Universe, but I literally watched every single episode in existence within the span of two days. More like one full day and a morning. No regrets though, as the show is probably one of the funniest I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, we can't be friends. I'm just kidding...the show follows the adventures of aliens living as earths protectors while raising the young halfbreed son of their fallen leader.

That makes it sound cool, right? Well, it's not that far off. Steven is a Crystal Gem like the others, only he possesses his mother's gem, as she gave up her physical form in order for Steven to be born. A full synopsis can be found by our amazing Mattie and of course our wonderful Allie. Today, I'm going to talk about fan theories surrounding the show, because new blog series? It sounded fun in my head. Which is basically the reason 100% of my blogs are written. For real though, guys, this is a show that is filled with theories. One popular one is that Lion is really Rose. I'm not sure how believable that really is when we think about it, he is pink and does have a dimension of in his mane that contains Rose's possessions....his mane is even in the shape of a star, similar to that of Rose. Does this mean he is her? Not really. Hear me out here, I think Lion is connected to Rose, somehow, but I don't think he is her. So far we have learned that Rose had many secrets, even from her closest friends. In the episode where Steven helps his dad clean out the storage area we see that there is a pet carrier. Steven actually throws this and proclaims his dad never even had a cat. Or did he? Is it possible part of Rose became Steven and the other became Lion? After all, Lion has some pretty kick butt abilities...

One theory I thoroughly enjoy is about Jasper. We already saw at the Kindergarten that Home World was working on fusing broken Gems together. Is it possible Jasper is a successful Gem Fusion? She seems to hate fusion, thinking its a cheap trick to make weaker Gems stronger. But what if Jasper is a successful Gem fusion, and she is completely unaware of it? Gem Fusions seem to be different for each Gem. As far as we can see, Jasper only has one Gem, but that doesn't mean much if they're fused. So far when we see fusions of more than two Gems, they have a name ending in "ite". When Jasper Fuses with Lapis, they take the name Malachite....not to mention the eyes. It's rare for Gems to have eyes with pupils, unless they're a fusion. On top of that Garnet even says being a fusion is like being your own being person, you forget who you were and are something else, but the same....

And lastly, my own theory is a bonus one. I've not seen this theory anywhere but I was talking to a friend of mine and have decided that Connie has to have some kind of magical property. Steven is able to fuse with her, but Gems can't fuse with humans. But Connie and Steven are able to fuse....Mattie argues that Steven is a bridge, half human and half Gem, so he can pull Connie into it easy. However, I think there's something more here. Connie is interested in the magical world Steven lives in, enough to learn to even be trained by Pearl to fight. I think if Connie wasn't magical, she'd not be able to fuse with Steven or even stand up to Pearl's training. Is it possible she's got some magic in her? Obviously she does since Steven cured her vision with magical spit. Possibly that's why they can fuse....

Well, that's my thoughts on this series and the theories I really liked and thought had valid standings! Stay tuned for more where I ruin things you like, just like my dad ruined shows for me...
