*[Imagine how worse would it be if he fully corrupted into an alaskan bull worm, and not transforming into a monster because he thinks he's a monster...]*
I find it interesting that Corrupted Steven has some of Lion’s powers; he walks on water at times, and his massive wails are very much like Lion’s roar attacks. Little nods/reminders that Lion’s powers are really Pink’s powers
@@gemkitten984 Let me give an example: If you step in a shallow puddle the water doesn't cover your foot. Because Steven became so large, it was like stepping in a puddle
@@sparklefairykitten I never thought of that but your right Steven's kids would only be 1/4 gem and 3/4 human they would probably have powers like lion or Lars but still they would have no gem
I think the real reason that the diamonds wouldn't give pink a colony was because they were scared of how she would respond to the stress of governance. Maybe she was super destructive when she was first created and the diamonds managed to find a way to suppress many of her powers.
Tyler Slagel I think the inference I’ve always made is diamonds destroy planets and rob them of their essential resources- we even see the plan of what they wanted to turn earth into and it’s very “homeworld”-esc. I think the imagine of the destroyed homeworld is more to show how much they really destroy the ecosystem of planets and show why they choose to venture into the stars.
Regarding Steven slamming his head into the temple, part of me feels like that was him... intentionally trying to hurt HIMSELF Maybe he was trying to poof himself (if that's even possible, which, shouldn't be?) or just otherwise stop being a monster And when he wasn't able to, he was confused and frustrated and just... didn't know what to do, leading to his behaviour in the rest of the episode
Hear me out, a spin off of all the diamonds in era 1 before and leading up to pink becoming rose. It can show us how they were before all this happened and give us another side of the Diamonds
CorruptedSteven wasn't rampaging like a Monster- he was having a Panic Attack, and only actually lashed out when someone got his attention and he had a target. I had a panic attack myself once (Pray I never have one again, it was horrible) and while it was different from Steven's I know that's still what he's going through- a panic attack won't be the same for every single person, because we're all DIFFERENT and handle whatever life throws our way differently
@@aidansheard5705 yeah, definitely a panic attack. Those things are hell, and you definitely feel like a monster if you lash out. I always feel terrible when I yell at my family while they're trying to calm me down.
@@toaster83 thank you for sharing this it provides further proof to my "Panic attacks are different for everyone" for the entitled people who wouldn't believe us otherwise, that is. my panic attack revolved around my deeply-rooted abandonment issues at a PRIDE parade- thought my niece was choosing her BF over me and leaving me alone in an unfamiliar area Sat on a bench and proceeded to freak out, heavy breathing, tears streaming barely able to speak until she sent me home. another one I was in a lockdown cell (Extreme claustrophobia) and I was literally FROZEN in place until the door opened. Had to piss so bad but my body refused to move until the door was open. so I've had 2 different kinds of panic attacks, and I never want to have one again.
Steven didn’t corrupt. Hear me out, Throughout the series it has been shown that Stevens mental state affects how his gem works. When Greg made him think he couldn’t heal, he stopped being able to heal for real. More importantly, during that one episode where Steven almost died from aging himself too much, HE AGED HIMSELF because he felt OLD mentally. Therefore, instead of “self corrupting” himself, he unintentionally shapeshifted himself into a real monster after viewing himself as a monster. He didn’t say “I’m, corrupted” he said “I’m, a monster”. PLUS BD asked IF he was corrupted, showing even she wasn’t sure if it WAS or WASN’T corruption.. Edit: so instead of calling him ‘corrupted’ Steven.. it is more appropriate to call him ONLY ‘monster’ Steven. I rest my case.
This makes alot of sense really. Cuz its true, he did say he's a fraud and he's a monster cuz he sees himself like a diamond which he doesnt want to be
But when white tried to tap into Stevens mind she said, "that isn't Steven". If that wasn't Steven, who was it? My thoughts is that it was pink diamond.
@@bjkaye9918 I don't think she meant it in a literal sense. More like the sheer negativity coming from Steven was completely unlike anything she'd experienced from him before, because he always presents himself as a cheerful do-gooder. Future was about Steven coping with the new era of peace and how he didn't have to be that person anymore, but felt that he had to because he really didn't have anything else. If he's not a hero, then who is he? He didn't know. The only other aspect of him was his Diamond powers, which kept going out of control as his mental health worsened.
I think an interesting parallel that homeworld bound highlighted is that ALL the diamonds have two sides to their powers, opposite sides of the same ability but due to the era 2 mentality they had no need to explore those sides eg. Blue can make people happy or sad, yellow can break forms apart and put them back together, white can enter minds or let people enter hers. So Stevens pink powers make perfect sense as up till now he has been a healer, the opposite of healing is total destruction. Really in terms of power pink was was ahead of the curve in exploring her own abilities.
I really wanted to see an all out battle when he transformed into the monster but sadly they didn't but they could've at least added more powers to it you know like some fire oh or lasers out his back but having a giant roar isn't bad but it's something that godzilla can do all the time so...
@demon dragon1299 I would have appreciated that fire perhaps, because it's conveniently flashy without necessarily causing real harm to gems (especially if it misses them)
Animators: so how should Steven's monster form look like? Sugar: Remember the SpongeBob episode where SpongeBob tries to warn Sandy of the Alaskan bullworm? Animators: we got you fam
My little theory for "corrupted steven" is that he WAS technically corrupted, if you pay attention to the context of the scene, notice that the other diamonds were also in water, along with steven tears, healing his physical form from corrupted, along with the love and support healing his humanity from "corruption", and there's also this quote from garnet from this one episode that she describes corruption as a "tear of fabric in the mind if mc bear bear"
While seeing more of monster steven’s powers might’ve been more satisfying from a lore or knowledge perspective, I don’t think it would’ve been good from a story perspective. The point if the monster is thats what steven feels like. It was even touched on in the video, he feels like a monster, but that doesn’t mean he is one. I feel as if it was very intentional that steven never actually used any crazy diamond powers. When you look at it, he doesn’t even seem to destroy anything on purpose. He attacks the temple in what seems to be in a state of panic, and while he moves towards the town, he runs at the gems because they’re pushing him back. It seems to be a sort of combat reaction. Monster steven isn’t a new form or evolution of quartz/diamond steven, but his powers reacting to him feeling like a monster. Thats why I think we only see monster steven do the roar. He’s fully in reaction mode, attacking and trying to fight against first his emotions, and then the people who he sees as attacking them
Basically it’s all about Steven’s uncontrollable feelings on how he doesn’t wanna loose anything or wanted it to go his way like his mother was when she wants thing to go her way and leave problems unsolved when she was still on her actual form like a kid. Or the daily life of an adult teen still trying to figure out what he truly wants.
@かわいいカエルとヒキガエルPixie Frog!! "That's not Steven anymore" "Is he corrupted?" I think it's fair to say he was "corrupted" in his "own Steveny way" Though since I consider it a gray area I more or less accept both sides of the argument as having some merit. Either way, it matters little, Because what happened happened, whatever it was, and we all saw it. It's the same difference either way.
@@aiiiia9971 I thought it was more like when he wouldn't stop growing and almost died of old age. What he believed became a reality. He thought he was too old for stuff, he literally became old. He thought he was a monster,and BOY did he become one
@@kenstorm707 yeah, he is shapeshifted into a formal corrupted godzilla diamond version of himself and he didnt even take control of his abilities in that form Wait, isn that means he's corrupted?
I feel like a diamond’s power is developed through a certain amount of stress, emotion, and want. Even though we can all see that there is a clear difference in the type of power each diamond can have, I feel like as long as it is along the lines of that classification, there is not really a limit on what powers a diamond can have. And that is why we see Steven developing powers here and there, because he is constantly in danger, and new powers seems to just pop out whenever he needs a specific one. At first it might just seems like it’s cuz he’s the main character and that’s just how main characters work, but looking at the diamond’s new powers, it also corresponded with what they want to do at the time too.
I legit forgot I’m great at reading feelings, and didn’t realize that it wasn’t evident to everyone that Stevens “monster” wasn’t trying to be destructive, it was a panic attack. He was never trying to be a monster, he just believed he was one. That’s why there wasn’t more of him being destructive in that form. Honestly I think the most chaotic and out of control Steven was Quartz Steven, or possible Diamond Steven.
Imagine what happens in five years when the normal human version of what happened to Steven finally hits Connie and she realizes she’s sleeping next to a boi that can TURN INTO GODZILLA IF HE GETS TOO SAD. Talk about cortisol
I do have a theory.....Remember How Steven had bad thoughts for the diamonds and every time he thought about them he would turn pink....What if it was Rose Quartz who had those thoughts....she apart of Steven in a way....I think it wasn't Steven with his trauma I think It was Rose for how much she had to go through to get a colony and for white/yellow/blue ((diamond)) How they put Pink in the tower and doing other stuff to her. So that is my thought about Steven's glow...Please reply I want to see what you think about my theory.
I feel like Steven was in a LOT of pain as the Big Boi(tm). It explains why he attacks without pattern. He only attacks when given an actual target. I think he was basically going through a panic attack.
Flame It was like a full on breakdown, a tantrum, a panic attack. Ive actually experienced something that like and its just losing your mind and wanting to hurt anything around you including yourself, and you end up thrashing around and slamming into things, even banging your head into hard counters.
There was a comic made that is about a fan version of fragments where Steven in the past used the time travel hour glass to go forward in time to where “her was big and strong” so at this moment pink Steven try’s to tell younger Steven about everything including pink diamond,spinel,peridot and the cluster.i think this would be a great theory video to cover
I like the idea of Steven's monster form being dysfunctional. Similar to an actual mental breakdown it made sense that he didn't act rational, but rather like a monster letting out his concealed emotions until he was calmed down
Has anyone else ever thought about how in the episode mindful education Connie’s backpack explodes into her negitive thoughts and Stevens back exploded because of his negitive thoughts and feelings manifesting into Monster Steven so is that just a throw back? Or does it mean something more?
Steven: what your seeing now is my normal saiyan, *turns pink* this is a super saiyan.... and this *turns into quartz Steven* this is what as known as a super saiyan surpassed a saiyan, or you could just call this a super saiyan 2. Jasper: what a useless transformation, you changed your hair and height, so what? Steven: just wait... Garnet: has he really got the power to surpass an ascended saiyan? Is that even possible? Amythest: he must be bluffing, I mean, what would that make him? Double ascended? Steven: and this...... is to go.... even further BEYOND!!! *giant spike Grows on Steven’s back*
Steven: trust me. you are gonna love this...and this...IS TO GO...EVEN FURTHER *BEYOND* **extended ugly screaming for like 4 video minutes and the whole country is getting crushed by his screaming while growing spikes in his back until he transforms into a more mastered corruption form**
Steven: PLUS ULTRA.... *Kaiju Steven explodes only to reveal he has achieved his MEGA DIGIVOLUTION! KING DIAMOND APOCALYPSE FORM! Basically His Kaiju form turns into an armor and his horns are symbolizes a crown wear by a king*
Can we discuss how the diamonds getting newfound reverse powers relates to Steven and therefore pink diamond/rose? I feel like the same thing that happened to the diamonds with them getting new powers and all arguably happened to pink diamond when she too was feeling less repressed and better mentally after finding happiness on earth. we’ve now been told that she had destructive powers like Steven is showing in the past, but I’m wondering if she always had her healing powers and other powers. maybe she was able to masquerade so well as rose quartz partly because they were new once she redefined herself. like maybe rose/pink diamond wasn’t able to always float or heal. like where the destructive/steven’s diamond powers her “base” abilities?? and the others weren’t accessible because of how she felt on home world?
Just a little theory: I really wanted to see Steven's "uncorrupted" horns. I was actually pretty disappointed to see Steven in such a perfect shape after his corruption. But maybe Pink Steven still has them? We see uncorrupted gems still having their horns and marks on their bodies. But we haven't seen Pink Steven after that episode. I am really curious about what happend to him. I hope we can see more of the story.
Corruption was often portrayed as a mental illness for gems, especially anxiety. They are in a constant fight or flight mode, they can't think rationally anymore, and their bodies reflect their minds. The only difference between monster Steven and corruption is that corruption was from an external attack and Steven's meltdown was built up over time (though has anyone noticed that the Diamonds represent the three main emotions in anxiety, anger, sadness and fear?)
Steven literally has CPTSD, its textbook symptoms and behavior and he'll always have it, but he's talking to a therapist now and hopefully that will help some
“Kaiju Steven” is my favourite of the transformations, I’m just sad he didn’t stick around longer (I was kinda hoping for Pink-White Diamond to fight against him or something) thanks for another awesome vid and stay safe all! Love ya Vox 💙🐱💙
I feel like when he was in Kaiju Steven form, he was actually trying to harm himself as well as others, showing the effect that this could have on others
@@nugget6635 Gem corruption IS psychological. It damages the mind so much that physical attributes are affected as well. But, again, that's not what happened to Steven. He just had a meltdown, and his Gem reacted to it because he'd lost control of his powers. He went right back to normal when everyone calmed him down.
I like to think that Monster Steven represents a panic attack. I mean, steven didn't even attack the crystal gems untill he saw them trying to restrain him. If his body was reacting to situations like a fight or flight mode, it would make sense that when his family surrounded him it made him feel uneasy. Combined with the amounts of stress he felt at that moment and the fact he was sweating, it's part of the symptoms of a panic attack.
When white tried to channel Stevens thoughts in to her body i thought she would start glowing pink and crying while looking around confused and saying “wha- GUYS?! HELP ME!!” And then white would come back
@@mohamedaliabdelkader9461 he didn't really lose anything its just he focused on not turning pink anymore so he won't be able to use pink diamond powers
I'm fine with it being: 1. Steven traveling around the world to find his future 2. Lars and the Off Colors own show (a.k.a. CN's version of Star Trek) 3. Spinel's life living on Homeworld with the Diamonds
I HAVE A QUESTION shouldn't Steven be half human half monster because of that should've he been like monster jasper half gem half monster he should look like the uncruppted and gems🤨
Steven wasn't really corrupted. It's more of him becoming what he thinks he is (I think). Examples are like the episode where his body reflected how old he felt.
being that he's not only a normal gem, but that he's an actual diamond (and human) who possesses all of the powers that a normal (non human) diamond has, it makes sense that he can be/appear to be fully corrupted in this way. similar to how he is able to shapeshift. maybe if he wasn't a diamond, he would look more like jasper when she was corrupted
Ya know what really gets me about this series. The fact that Pink Diamond is the color pink and not red. Yellow, Blue, and Red are the primary colors that create every other color. Of course there is also White and Black (and maybe grey) but two of those aren’t actual diamonds
Fr tho. And it would’ve helped play up the evil idea back when she wasn’t revealed to be Rose. Red Diamond sounds a lot more menacing than Pink Diamond.
They should have had at least a full blown series lineup, 24+ episodes exploring the various aspects of Stevens "self corruption," would have loved some deep dives into gem lore about similar events
5:35 Absolutely true The crystal gem weapons all have stars on them and we know that they did originally belong to Homeworld So just like your theory garnet, and Pearl, and amethyst changed the design some how
Steve is a very emotional boy. This makes 100% cent with having a very rich inner world that contrasts with the world around you you going to be emotional or completely not at all. I really do think that you can see that she uses Steve and him going through his teen years to show the constant battles it is to find yourself, mental health and sometimes losing yourself is the way to find yourself. I don't mean go crazy and you will be who you're truly are. I mean you get so lost in helping others you but your needs to the side until it can’t be push back anymore you're forced to face it. You don't know who you are anymore feeling like a monster. Not a lot of people want to say it which is understandable but you feel digest, hate, and rage. You’ve lost yourself a long time ago. You don't know what to do as you are wrapped with fear and anxiety but what you do know is the fight isn’t over yet! You start small with things that bring you joy. Every small victory counts! Then the day comes where you stand and say “ this is a part of who I am but it doesn't define me.” “ I am all of me.” “ I accept who I am and who I will be in the future.”
Well at the end of the day, I understand the decision not to make Steven destroy the town or little Homeworld or something. After all, that would put more blood (or figurative blood) on his hands and make him harder to redeem and harder to get him back to normal. Also, you can't say it's not plausable that the gems would do all they can to prevent any furthur catastophe from happening. Lapis is pretty strong as well, so it makes sense that she could hold him.
1: Just the thought that Kaiju Steven can use his increased speed, aerial abilities, and shields is actually kind of scary since he overpowered big shots like the diamonds and the cluster without them. 2: Kaiju Steven is my favorite because I'm a huge fan of giant monsters.
But seriously, I wanted just a little bit more Quartz Steven...

He attacks the temple in what seems to be in a state of panic, and while he moves towards the town, he runs at the gems because they’re pushing him back. It seems to be a sort of combat reaction. Monster steven isn’t a new form or evolution of quartz/diamond steven, but his powers reacting to him feeling like a monster. Thats why I think we only see monster steven do the roar. He’s fully in reaction mode, attacking and trying to fight against first his emotions, and then the people who he sees as attacking them
"Do the roar"
This comment needs more attention
@@et-y6059 only awesome people can get this
Basically it’s all about Steven’s uncontrollable feelings on how he doesn’t wanna loose anything or wanted it to go his way like his mother was when she wants thing to go her way and leave problems unsolved when she was still on her actual form like a kid. Or the daily life of an adult teen still trying to figure out what he truly wants.
*I don't like the fact alot of the theorys for suf were right-*
@Just a Yellow angry Giraffe that likes to comment. He didn't corrupted :/
I do. Mostly since I was on board.
@かわいいカエルとヒキガエルPixie Frog!! "That's not Steven anymore"
"Is he corrupted?"
I think it's fair to say he was "corrupted" in his "own Steveny way"
Though since I consider it a gray area I more or less accept both sides of the argument as having some merit. Either way, it matters little, Because what happened happened, whatever it was, and we all saw it. It's the same difference either way.
@@aiiiia9971 I thought it was more like when he wouldn't stop growing and almost died of old age. What he believed became a reality. He thought he was too old for stuff, he literally became old. He thought he was a monster,and BOY did he become one

I feel like a diamond’s power is developed through a certain amount of stress, emotion, and want. Even though we can all see that there is a clear difference in the type of power each diamond can have, I feel like as long as it is along the lines of that classification, there is not really a limit on what powers a diamond can have. And that is why we see Steven developing powers here and there, because he is constantly in danger, and new powers seems to just pop out whenever he needs a specific one. At first it might just seems like it’s cuz he’s the main character and that’s just how main characters work, but looking at the diamond’s new powers, it also corresponded with what they want to do at the time too.
This makes sense because diamonds are literally formed under pressure. Genius writing.
I hate how you can tell Steven is in pain in his monster form. Absolutely heartbreaking
Definitely heartbreaking and Steven’s transformation into a monster was definitely painful
I'm pretty sure pain is why he's corrupted.

He wasn't corrupted, he shapeshifted.
It'd be way cooler the broadcast on a planetary scale.

1 months later: welcome back to Crystal clear here are 5 still unresolved questions in Steven universe as a whole
I legit forgot I’m great at reading feelings, and didn’t realize that it wasn’t evident to everyone that Stevens “monster” wasn’t trying to be destructive, it was a panic attack. He was never trying to be a monster, he just believed he was one. That’s why there wasn’t more of him being destructive in that form. Honestly I think the most chaotic and out of control Steven was Quartz Steven, or possible Diamond Steven.
Steven be using the “running away from your problems” expression to a literal thing,what a thing
“Her deadly wail...”

I do have a theory.....Remember How Steven had bad thoughts for the diamonds and every time he thought about them he would turn pink....What if it was Rose Quartz who had those thoughts....she apart of Steven in a way....I think it wasn't Steven with his trauma I think It was Rose for how much she had to go through to get a colony and for white/yellow/blue ((diamond)) How they put Pink in the tower and doing other stuff to her. So that is my thought about Steven's glow...Please reply I want to see what you think about my theory.
It could be BOTH!! DUN DUN DUNNNNN!
I think this is a really valid theory
Remember this all started off with a simple COOKIE CAT
I feel like Steven was in a LOT of pain as the Big Boi(tm). It explains why he attacks without pattern. He only attacks when given an actual target. I think he was basically going through a panic attack.
Flame It was like a full on breakdown, a tantrum, a panic attack. Ive actually experienced something that like and its just losing your mind and wanting to hurt anything around you including yourself, and you end up thrashing around and slamming into things, even banging your head into hard counters.
*_[but... when will I get the answer of... what happened to the Rubies!?]_*
Ruby [Doc] maybe in a spin-off by the way I saw your April fools post
Uh all I know is that something happened
More important is, why did Bluebird Azurite said she'll be back if she never did?
Waheed Abdullah I was thinking the same thing
*[I think they work with Nanefua now]*
There was a comic made that is about a fan version of fragments where Steven in the past used the time travel hour glass to go forward in time to where “her was big and strong” so at this moment pink Steven try’s to tell younger Steven about everything including pink diamond,spinel,peridot and the cluster.i think this would be a great theory video to cover
i think he broke the hour glass in too many stevens, but yeah i would love to see a conversation between adult steven and young steven
I saw it
I like the idea of Steven's monster form being dysfunctional. Similar to an actual mental breakdown it made sense that he didn't act rational, but rather like a monster letting out his concealed emotions until he was calmed down
Has anyone else ever thought about how in the episode mindful education Connie’s backpack explodes into her negitive thoughts and Stevens back exploded because of his negitive thoughts and feelings manifesting into Monster Steven so is that just a throw back?
Or does it mean something more?
Steven: what your seeing now is my normal saiyan, *turns pink* this is a super saiyan.... and this *turns into quartz Steven* this is what as known as a super saiyan surpassed a saiyan, or you could just call this a super saiyan 2.
Jasper: what a useless transformation, you changed your hair and height, so what?
Steven: just wait...
Garnet: has he really got the power to surpass an ascended saiyan? Is that even possible?
Amythest: he must be bluffing, I mean, what would that make him? Double ascended?
Steven: and this...... is to go.... even further BEYOND!!! *giant spike Grows on Steven’s back*
HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I read this in goku's voice
LMAO i loved this
Steven: trust me. you are gonna love this...and this...IS TO GO...EVEN FURTHER *BEYOND*
**extended ugly screaming for like 4 video minutes and the whole country is getting crushed by his screaming while growing spikes in his back until he transforms into a more mastered corruption form**
Steven: PLUS ULTRA....
*Kaiju Steven explodes only to reveal he has achieved his MEGA DIGIVOLUTION! KING DIAMOND APOCALYPSE FORM! Basically His Kaiju form turns into an armor and his horns are symbolizes a crown wear by a king*
Can we discuss how the diamonds getting newfound reverse powers relates to Steven and therefore pink diamond/rose? I feel like the same thing that happened to the diamonds with them getting new powers and all arguably happened to pink diamond when she too was feeling less repressed and better mentally after finding happiness on earth. we’ve now been told that she had destructive powers like Steven is showing in the past, but I’m wondering if she always had her healing powers and other powers. maybe she was able to masquerade so well as rose quartz partly because they were new once she redefined herself. like maybe rose/pink diamond wasn’t able to always float or heal. like where the destructive/steven’s diamond powers her “base” abilities?? and the others weren’t accessible because of how she felt on home world?
Just a little theory:
I really wanted to see Steven's "uncorrupted" horns. I was actually pretty disappointed to see Steven in such a perfect shape after his corruption. But maybe Pink Steven still has them? We see uncorrupted gems still having their horns and marks on their bodies. But we haven't seen Pink Steven after that episode. I am really curious about what happend to him. I hope we can see more of the story.
That's because he WASN'T corrupted. He shapeshifted.
Not to be rude but remember he's half human not a complete gem
Corruption was often portrayed as a mental illness for gems, especially anxiety. They are in a constant fight or flight mode, they can't think rationally anymore, and their bodies reflect their minds. The only difference between monster Steven and corruption is that corruption was from an external attack and Steven's meltdown was built up over time (though has anyone noticed that the Diamonds represent the three main emotions in anxiety, anger, sadness and fear?)
Steven literally has CPTSD, its textbook symptoms and behavior and he'll always have it, but he's talking to a therapist now and hopefully that will help some
Steven Universe will always be in our hearts...

@@kenstorm707 no he wasnt shapeshifting because if you are shapeshifting then you can change back
@@nugget6635 Gem corruption IS psychological. It damages the mind so much that physical attributes are affected as well.
But, again, that's not what happened to Steven. He just had a meltdown, and his Gem reacted to it because he'd lost control of his powers. He went right back to normal when everyone calmed him down.
Reaction table : his hair reminds me of every protagonist specifically a bizarre show
*Me laughs in JoJo's Bizarre adventure*
Finally a breakdown of his powers

He wasn't corrupted. He shapeshifted.
Blue diamond: is he… corrupted?
Garnet: NEVER MIND THAT
I just realised that when Steven is in quartz mode, his hair is really similar to stegs
never you could speak in 3rd person, i might just add that to your powers
I still REALLY wanna see a steven with his gem rotated, hes already crazy powerful, imagined his "true form" with his rotated gem
I like to think that Monster Steven represents a panic attack. I mean, steven didn't even attack the crystal gems untill he saw them trying to restrain him. If his body was reacting to situations like a fight or flight mode, it would make sense that when his family surrounded him it made him feel uneasy. Combined with the amounts of stress he felt at that moment and the fact he was sweating, it's part of the symptoms of a panic attack.
When white tried to channel Stevens thoughts in to her body i thought she would start glowing pink and crying while looking around confused and saying “wha- GUYS?! HELP ME!!” And then white would come back

Steven Universe has the potential to be a Hero or a Villain
And he can be in whatever fighting game he wants!
Depending on how he views the world in his journey. It's still a mystery!
Wrong. He has been approved on the heroes wiki as pure good.
I HAVE A QUESTION shouldn't Steven be half human half monster because of that should've he been like monster jasper half gem half monster he should look like the uncruppted and gems🤨
I think he still looks normal because (as mentioned in the video) it wasn’t a typical textbook corruption but idk
Steven wasn't really corrupted. It's more of him becoming what he thinks he is (I think). Examples are like the episode where his body reflected how old he felt.
@@devoid4037 and cat fingers
So it's possible this is non canon
being that he's not only a normal gem, but that he's an actual diamond (and human) who possesses all of the powers that a normal (non human) diamond has, it makes sense that he can be/appear to be fully corrupted in this way. similar to how he is able to shapeshift. maybe if he wasn't a diamond, he would look more like jasper when she was corrupted
Steven Stress Levels:
1: Pink Steven
2: Quartz Steven

"Maybe the less we know about monster steven's powers, the better"
*Nods* Fanfiction
Ya know what really gets me about this series. The fact that Pink Diamond is the color pink and not red. Yellow, Blue, and Red are the primary colors that create every other color. Of course there is also White and Black (and maybe grey) but two of those aren’t actual diamonds
Fr tho. And it would’ve helped play up the
evil idea back when she wasn’t revealed to be Rose. Red Diamond sounds a lot more menacing than Pink Diamond.
They should have had at least a full blown series lineup, 24+ episodes exploring the various aspects of Stevens "self corruption," would have loved some deep dives into gem lore about similar events
What a ride this show has been! I loved the ending. It was what I expected from it. I look forward to see what Rebecca Sugar comes up with next.
Nobody:
Not a single gem:
Steven :SteVeN hEres tO hElP
This show brought me life- I miss it so much
5:35
Absolutely true
The crystal gem weapons all have stars on them and we know that they did originally belong to Homeworld
So just like your theory garnet, and Pearl, and amethyst changed the design some how
Steve is a very emotional boy. This makes 100% cent with having a very rich inner world that contrasts with the world around you you going to be emotional or completely not at all. I really do think that you can see that she uses Steve and him going through his teen years to show the constant battles it is to find yourself, mental health and sometimes losing yourself is the way to find yourself. I don't mean go crazy and you will be who you're truly are. I mean you get so lost in helping others you but your needs to the side until it can’t be push back anymore you're forced to face it. You don't know who you are anymore feeling like a monster. Not a lot of people want to say it which is understandable but you feel digest, hate, and rage. You’ve lost yourself a long time ago. You don't know what to do as you are wrapped with fear and anxiety but what you do know is the fight isn’t over yet! You start small with things that bring you joy. Every small victory counts! Then the day comes where you stand and say “ this is a part of who I am but it doesn't define me.” “ I am all of me.” “ I accept who I am and who I will be in the future.”
Missed ur vids hope they make another spin off of Steven universe wait did corona get steven
I see the possibility of mini-episodes showing some of the loose threads. (Why would COVID-19 get Steven?)
Same I think they will do something with the diamonds helping planters or fixing shattered gems
Well at the end of the day, I understand the decision not to make Steven destroy the town or little Homeworld or something. After all, that would put more blood (or figurative blood) on his hands and make him harder to redeem and harder to get him back to normal. Also, you can't say it's not plausable that the gems would do all they can to prevent any furthur catastophe from happening. Lapis is pretty strong
as well, so it makes sense that she could hold him.
when i voted for my favourite form I was the only one who had and I agree that quartz Steven is the best and that it’s like he is straight from anime.
I absolutely love how quartz Steven looks.
1: Just the thought that Kaiju Steven can use his increased speed, aerial abilities, and shields is actually kind of scary since he overpowered big shots like the diamonds and the cluster without them.
2: Kaiju Steven is my favorite because I'm a huge fan of giant monsters.
I mean, he probably can, since this was just him shapeshifting.
