So about Stevenās fusion...
Fusion has always been a physical and emotional representation of the relationship individuals have with each other.Ā
For Garnet, fusion represents romantic love.
For Smoky Quartz, deep platonic love.
I could go on and on listing every fusion weāve seen, but you get the gist. And from the very beginning of this show, what weāve discovered and unraveled bit by bit is just how much Stevenās mother has loomed over him his whole life.
I mean, literally. Sheās literally been hanging over him for years.
And for the past five seasons weāve slowly unpacked how deeply this bothers him. At first he just worries about not living up to her legacy. Then, over time, with every misattributed āRose Quarzā andĀ āPinkā he receives- every empathic memory or nightmare he experiences- this blossoms into a sickening question: what if he was never anyone? Never Steven, never an individual, justā¦ justā¦Ā
Someone else. Deep, deep downā¦
All of these fears came to a terrifying crescendo, as White literally pried Stevenās gemstone out of him, demanded that Pink come out. Steven, fully human, fully separate from the gem heās had his whole lifeā¦ and seemingly on deathās doorstep without it.Ā
Fully human Steven, who watches someone else begin to reform from his gem, someone else-
His gem didnāt reform as Pink Diamond, as he always feared, nor Rose Quartz. It reformed asĀ Steven.Ā
And then moments later fully human Steven fused with fully gem Steven, two facets reuniting in a spinning, glowing splendor to createā¦ Steven?
Which means that Steven himself is a fusion.
Heās always been a fusion, ever since Rose gave up her form to create him, to literally become half of him.
A fusionā¦ which represents not only Roseās love for him, but now, his love for himself.
Heās been asking himself a question for so long, a question he was terrified to hear the answer to- but none of that matters anymore, because heās found the answer.
