Yesterday I've posted my list of "It's Hell" moments that should be included in Hellaverse dumpster fire of worldbuilding to make it work. And today it hit me:
Why do demons need to eat and sleep?
I mean, if that was lower demons' needs, I would possibly buy it. BUT NO! Stolass and Stella do this too!
WHY?! Does that mean they could starve or be exhausted by insomnia? And probably DIE from it?! But they're immortal demons with enormous magical powers!.. How is this supposed to work?!
Somebody might object, "But the gems from 'Steven Universe' eat and sleep as well, even though they don't need to!" Yeah, that's true, but! Firstly, this was directly acknowledged right in the series. Secondary, as I can remember, there are no Homeworld gems who do those things, only the Crystal Gems do. And they've been living among humans during thousands of years, Earth is their home so basically they adapted to it. And even then, each of them has their own attitude toward "human rituals": Amethyst enjoys it, Pearl doesn't like in the slightest, Garnet's kinda okay with it. Isn't that fascinating how such a small lore detail gives personality to every character?
And what about HB? Well, demons eat and sleep because... because they do! That's all!
