#in fact he moves his primary color CLOSER to his gem half imo with his future jacket

[calypsolemon]

my little headcanon is that despite all the possible negative associations he could have with it, Steven still goes out of his way to wear the color pink because it reminds him of the overwhelming self-love he felt when embracing his seperated self. He might have originally worn the color in a passive attempt to emulate his mother at first, but now it's a reminder of how much he isn't her, and how desperately he wanted to be himself when he fell apart. A comforting thought when he is otherwise feeling self-doubt.

#in fact he moves his primary color CLOSER to his gem half imo with his future jacket #rose muted her pink when she changed and steven similarly wore slightly muted (though darker) tones of pink #the jacket in comparison is bright pink and envelops him like a hug #which i don't think he thought through conciously i just think he finds it comforting subconciously for the most part #steven universe #steven universe future
