Why Steven Is Not Corrupting

Why Steven is not corrupting

1) The growing things he’s been doing resembles unstable fusions falling apart more than corruption

Here’s some example of failing fusions

The faces are malleable and deformed. It’s like an internal battle represented with their forms

Also in this one where Jasper forces fusion on a corrupted gem, it looks like its trying to escape

And here’s what the one corruption we’ve seen look like

It’s more like a disease that spreads throughout a gem’s body, like a disease

And here’s Steven

It’s very similar to the first example, only slightly different. It could be that his bones are making the changes in his light more rigid and stiff

2) The internal mind field of an unstable fusion

With Malachite, an unstable fusion, what did it look like when Steven astral projected himself in there?

A dark, ominous place where the two gems fought with each other

What does it look like when Steven talks to himself through White Diamond in Homeworld Bound?

Very similar, both of his halves don’t really seem to like each other

3) The final trailer

In the trailer, there’s a frame where Steven’s arm is glowing

A trademark of the prior unstable fusions is that they glow as they unfuse. And we see that right here. With corruption, color spreads and horns pop out; there’s no glowing.

4) My opinion hehehe

I think that the worm wouldn’t be Steven’s human half; if he’s unfused without gem abilities then he wouldn’t be able to shapeshift. However, all of the diamonds are needed to reverse corruption, and Steven got rid of all of the diamond essence (a move too deliberate to just be an artistic choice). And Steven needs to work stuff out with himself in order for stuff to get better. So I think that his gem half will corrupt but his human half will need to make the mental connection for the corruption to be reverted. That way all of what the Diamonds said in Homeworld bond is true

The problem isn’t physical

Steven needs to allow himself to be happy if he wants to be happy

Steven needs to talk to himself

Tldr I’m right and my theories are god goodnight

That was hard to watch

OOF

BRUH

That scene where Jasper freaks out over grass has got me dead

OK SO HOW COME #WHATEVER

I’ve only seen one other person on tumblr so far make this comparison, to the scene at the end of ‘change your mind’ when Steven’s gem gets pulled out by white diamond, and that there’s two different perspectives right? So this would imply Steven is a fusion right?? I’m thinking after watching ‘homeworld bound’ that Steven is kinda starting to hate himself, especially his diamond half. What if his fusion is falling apart because he disagrees with himself?? Either his human half and gem half are going to fall apart or he’s going to pull out his own gem by himself out of rage. Now I know there’s already a really solid theory that Steven will self-corrupt himself, and I do think this will happen, but I’m weird and would like to think this other thing would happen.

His hand is shapeshifting and he seems surprised about it

Hmmm

If Angela comes back (which she definitely will) then that means that Mara has to come back. They’re both trapped in the portal, and I don’t think time functions normally/in a way where Mara would die of old age
