Steven Unfusing Theory - Tumblr Posts

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
