SU Mini Theory: The Rejuvinator DID work!!!

This is probably very obvious but what the hell.

In the movie, Steven gets slashed with the Rejuvinator–multiple times.

At first no one suspects anything happened to him, as he seems to be fine. But then his powers start to malfunction, and he finds he has to relearn how to use them. That goes away pretty quickly, 

but uhh....then this sudden change in character happens in Future. 

Steven, our little Steven, starts having anger issues, seemingly from out of nowhere. Look i know we can sit here and argue that its a natural progression but, I don’t buy it. We’ve seen little Steven be put through the ringer an get frustrated before, he never behaved like this, 

This is too much, all at once, with no explanation. Then we’re given this bombshell by Pink Pearl:

That punch she throws at the wall in Yellow’s observatory wasn’t a one-off thing; Pink Diamond threw tantrums, tantrums she couldn’t control, and had a scream that could crack walls, and once she hurt Pink Pearl, and she was given White Pearl, she changed all at once and to the other extreme, as if traumatized that she had the power to damage someone that much, someone she cared deeply for. And now, after being hit with the rejuvinator in the movie… 

..he’s cracking walls like his mom? And I’m supposed to write it off as some natural progression? Nah. We’ve seen this destructive power before.

I think the foreshadowing is pretty clear,

THIS THING DID WORK; ON PINK STEVEN!!

and what this implies is fucking terrifying; Remember this?

Yeah, this is Pink Diamond after having gone through 8,000 years of character development. Here, she isn’t the screaming, wall cracking tantrum throwing bitch, she’s become a good person, with the bagage one would expect one to have when one starts off as toxic and becomes good, so when Steven was born, his Pink half had all its character development–but since Spinel hit Steven with the rejuvinator multiple times, I think his Pink side has regressed to Pink Diamond’s state, from 8,000 years ago. 

Which means, his Pink side doesn’t love being him right now.  

How can it? Every other gem hit with the rejuvinator had to be reminded of the experiences that made them who they are after all, how can Pink Steven love being himself when it doesn’t remember how it got there?

…and with this show’s track record with forshadowing, since Pink Diamond had to hurt someone she loved before learning to control her temper…

Get out of my head RIGHT NOW
