So with the events with the new Stevenbomb…I had an idea.
What if the earrings they put on the people in the zoo weren’t just a voice, they were controlling, so that when the original humans came to the zoo they’d be hypnotized to stay.
So when Greg gets the earrings put on him, he forgets everything about earth. All of it. Including Steven. But they don’t work on Steven because he’s part gem. Steven’s crushed, because he can’t convince his dad to leave, so he has to leave him there.
So when Steven figures out how to escape the “sanctuary,” he tries to drag his Dad with him, and he’s in tears just begging him to come with him, but Greg stays put. Where he’s “supposed to be.”
So when Steven and the CG’s leave, he explains to them what happened, and they support him and all that.
And when they get back to earth, he tells Connie. And she’s hurt too, and she comforts Steven.
And so they grow up together, and Steven always remembers his Dad, the man who died not even remembering his son.
Years and years later, a visitor comes to earth.
It’s Blue Diamond. She hunts down Steven, and finds him.
And she apologizes, she saw the memories that the earrings were suppressing, and she kept Greg anyways, she’s guilt ridden.
And Steven is disgusted, he hates her.
But he can’t bring himself to hurt her.
