#like legit pick ANY episode in se 1 and theres at least five blatant instances of neglect

[swagging-back-to]

every time i rewatch steven universe I FUME over how neglected this child is. Genuinely i fume and throw shit at my screen

the only one i dont get truly mad at is garnet, because garnet is best mom. But everyone else? GRRRRR HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BOY

#like legit pick ANY episode in se 1 and theres at least five blatant instances of neglect #pearl and amethyst are definitely the worst in the earlier seasons -- pearl literally leads steven across a 1000ft drop and makes no #move to save him when he almost falls t o his death -- she is even the very reason he starts falling. his floating powers were activated #until she turned around and glared at him like he did something wrong -- his powers then reversed and made him sink like an anchor #amethyst genuinely tries to kill him in her multiple insecure breakdowns #genuinely tries to kill him. #greg does not get a pass either #he is a human -- he should know better than these aliens. he should be there for his kid. he should be providing for his kid. he doesn't. #steven has NO education. he isn't even emotionally or mentally mature until he's over SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD #he barely has food to eat. #he has very little human interaction #he has very little social interaction. #im glad they talked about this a little bit in future (even tho i really hated future) but i still dont give any of them a pass
