We were talking about it in Discord, and Sapphire’s fake Love Equation is probably inspired by the equally useless Drake Equation.

Just like Sapphire’s equation, Drake’s Equation for calculating the likelihood of communicating with intelligent life forms is a string of unknowable variables multiplied together.

I just have to trust in the boarders but at this point I’m starting to think maybe I should have listened to F E A R.

But, I want to be my own person too.

I don’t think Steven has even considered that as a possibility for himself. 

Up until the end of SU, he thought of himself as a replacement for his mom, and even though he’s stopped doing that, he still holds himself responsible for her mistakes. 

And even when he’s not dealing directly with problems related to his mother, he’s spent so long living for others that it’s no wonder he wants to just dive into a fusion and let Connie drive for a while.

I think the reason why Steven is so shocked is because he didn’t think Garnet noticed that he has a problem. It’s a very teenager thing to think that he’s been totally smooth about the existential crisis he’s been dealing with. There’s no way Garnet’s noticed that he’s been having trouble finding himself with how subtle he’s been.

But of course he really

really

hasn’t.

Connie’s ready to stay here and talk things out, which is what Steven really needs right now, but Steven’s back there like, “Oh thank the stars, anything that could take the spotlight off of me and my feelings!”
