Steven Universe Future Theory - Tumblr Posts

Yo what if the episode is called fragments because he shatters Jasper and that shot where he has his hand in his pocket is him hiding her gem

And he goes to homeworld because his power ain’t working on it or something

His hand is shapeshifting and he seems surprised about it

Hmmm

WHAT THE CLIPS SHOWN IN THE FINAL PROMO SAY

Here’s a list of each of the moments from past episodes that are shown in the trailer

Steven with the gems after Change Your Mind. They’re all happy and Steven knows he’s himself

Pearl asking Steven if he has his mom’s memories. There is also a shot of them putting Rose’s sword in Lion’s Mane

Steven about to pull out Rose’s shield, and saying that this is his home and the gems are his family.

Steven and Connie fusing for the first time.

Steven pulling out his shield to save himself and his family from Lapis

The diamonds realizing that Steven has Pink’s gem

Pink Steven yelling at Jasper in the battle that he ends up shattering her in

Okay so I’m gonna go over common themes between these.

1,3,4, and 5 are about Steven, his loved ones, and his home. This will probably come up in the finale as the divide between Steven and the world grows, but also because he needs to talk stuff out with the people he loves

4 suggests that his relationship with Connie will also be very prominent in these episodes

1,2,3,5,6,7 are all about Steven and his connection to his mom. He’s pulling out Rose’s shield, gems mistake him for his mom. Him being his own person seems to be contridicted by what others are saying. Steven gets contradicted a lot in this trailer

2 is especially interesting. Pearl wonders if Rose is still in his gem. Then they pull her sword out of Lions mane. There’s still the chest inside of there, maybe it has something to do with Rose and whether or not she still exists

What I’m gonna say is that Steven being like his mom and Steven’s relationships with his loving family are going to come into play a lot on the finale.

More theories later woohoo

Lapis

- when she saw Peridot outside of the hand ship she behaved in a way that seems needlessly aggressive considering Peridot wanted to help her.

- however much of her anger is based in past trauma

- ran away from Earth in fear of the diamonds

- felt she couldn’t go back to earth after all that she’d done

- eventually Steven found her and tried to convince her to come back. While at first she ran away again, she eventually returned likely due in part to Steven’s influence

- Might’ve ended up shattering the two lapises in a fit of trauma based emotions. At the last moment Steven stops her

Steven

- ran away from earth fear of what he thinks are ‘Diamond powers’

-felt he couldn’t go back to the gems

-actually shattered Jasper and arguably tried to shatter White Diamond (though it’s not entirely clear if he was talking to her, his mom, himself, or a mix of all three)

- Seemed needlessly aggressive towards White Diamond considering she wanted to help him

-However she did traumatize him and literally roped out one of his vital organs

So yeah they kinda similar

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
