I live for the meta/rant in your tags. In the break up scene from season 7 gifset, you mention that you believe Steven did knew that he wanted to be with her 5ever. Do you have any headcanons/in-universe reason of why he would freak out and say he doesn't?
I think it all comes back to his insecurities and desire to support her, push her to be better for herself. I don’t want to talk much about it because a friend of mine is cooking an idea for a fanfic or a something else, and I see this whole thing very similar to her, and I don’t want to spoil the party.
I few weeks ago I mentioned that Hyde was going through plenty of changes earlier season 7. He discovered he had another family, that he is biracial and not only that, but his actual father is goddamn rich. Then, he starts working different from what we had been seeing in the show.
By being part of his father’s busines, he starts getting closer to his sister and at first they don’t had a good relationship. Jackie becomes a great source of support during this time, and suddenly it’s like– he is growing up all what he didn’t in years.
And he is used to that, to growing up fast. But since he went to live with The Formans, he got the chance to be more like a teenager and ahve a break, but he isn’t anymore. And for some people, realizing this can be kind of a shock that made them react in the most unexpected ways.
So, preassure, stress, Jackie getting wedding crazy again, the thing with Eric (because he is always concerned about his friends), new family, suddenly realizing he is an adult = disaster.
It can be seen that way, for example. This is kind of how I see it most times.
