* AlienFairFolk: In-universe, Gems are conflated with figures of various human myth, even occasionally being referred to as such, due to their presence influencing human culture. When Steven visits the Maheswaran family in India, he's called a ''rakshesha'', a Hindu folkloric creature used as a slang word for Gems due to the similarity.

* FantasticDrug: Played straight ''and'' PlayedForLaughs. The essences of the Diamonds can be combined and diluted in varying proportions to achieve different effects. Some are practical- Jasper has a blend for temporarily sharpening the senses and increasing awareness, and Steven creates a blend that can keep Sten alive in the event he needs to unfuse. And then there's Peridot, who made a [[CaffeineBulletTime "productivity blend"]] that [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin induces a manic state in Gems before eventually causing their forms to dissipate from stress]].
* GoodCostumeSwitch: Spinel and the Diamonds went through one at some point between ''Diamond Drop'' and ''For The Tax Benefits, Also I Love You''.
** Spinel's reflects her growing emotional security with the new family she found in the Diamonds.
** The Diamond's have a drastic change in ''size'', with White Diamond shrinking to about Pink Diamond's height, and Blue/Yellow only coming up to her shoulders. It's a conscious choice to literally bring themselves down to the level of their Gems, and to bridge the distance between themselves and Steven.

* ABirthdayNotABreak: Connie forgets to celebrate her eighteenth birthday in ''Also I Love You'' due to finals prep and college applications.
* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy and His Lion]]: Steven and Lion's relationship continues to be this, though it's also implied in ''Like A Word, A Sound, A Song'' that Lion may view Steven as his [[InterspeciesAdoption father]].
* AdultFear: In one chapter of ''Like A Word, A Sound, A Song'', Steven shows up to the Maheswaran house incredibly disoriented and concussed. No one, not even Steven himself, knows how long he was wandering around in that state before Doug intervened. It is later revealed that his behavior was caused by him triggering the wayward Gem equivalent to a ''landmine''.
** When Greg hears [[LiteralSplitPersonality Vendan's voice]] over the phone, he worried that Steven might have unfused.
* AlienCatnip: Gems display drunk/concussed behavior when their gemstones are exposed to low frequency sounds. PlayedForDrama when the concept is introduced in ''Like A Word, A Sound, A Song''.
* BadassNormal: The Maheswarans in ''Like A Word, A Sound, A Song'' during chapter 5, ''The Drinking Song''. Priyanka and Doug, running into a Gem related problem they don't understand, quickly assess the situation, find the root cause, and Doug even [[HorseOfADifferentColor rides Lion]] in order to get Bismuth and Peridot for help.
* BedmateReveal: Lars wakes up in Thor's bed in ''Diamond Drop''.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Gems don't eat, sleep, or even have heartbeats. Their language is more similar to that of whales than humans, and their bodies/minds can be affected by certain frequencies of sound.
* BoldlyComing: If ''Aliens Steal Cable'' is any indication, there's a sizable subculture attracted to Asteria Diamond(Steven), semi-derisively referred to as diamondfuckers(possibly equating them to the monsterfucker subculture).
* BrownNote: The gem language can contain odd sound frequencies [[PsychoactivePowers that become more prominent when a Gem is emotionally disturbed]], which can cause humans to become sick if exposed for too long.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Sten and Vendan, the halves of Steven's fusion, cannot unfuse without life-threatening consequences.
* [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Monster Boy]]: Now that Steven's gotten older, his less human traits have grown more prominent, but he's still the good ol' Steven everyone knows and loves.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Agents Coulson and Hill throughout their meeting with Steven about the events of ''Thor''. His total lack of guards, and his polite serenity as he casually admits to what, from their point of view, is overriding human government authority and stealing weapons of mass destruction, frightens them.
** One human in ''AliensStealCable'' has a moment of this after realizing it was [[FamedInStory Steven]] that magically cured their hangover.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: ZigZaggedTrope. In ''Diamond Drop'', Thor and Lars get blackout drunk, and the next day Lars wakes up in Thor's bed with no memory of the previous night. Thor cryptically says they [[CallBack "drank and fought"]] and acts very familiar with him afterwards, inviting him to share breakfast and being far more honest and co-operative than he was apparently instructed to be. It's hinted that the time he spent with Lars spurred his decision to defy Odin, but it's deliberately left ambiguous if it was the conversation that they had before the narrative JumpCut or... ''something else''.
* TheDividual: Steven is a fusion, and his components are treated as individual entities. The components are even named in the story- Sten(human) and Vendan(Gem).
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** Steven accidentally triggering a forgotten capture weapon on an old Gem battlefield. The effects and intended purpose of the weapon are similar to a landmine. There are [[TruthInTelevision many stories]] of people, especially children, being hurt or killed by forgotten landmines in countries that are/were theatres of war.
** Steven's external behavior, due to being [[LiteralSplitPersonality a fusion]], occasionally comes across as that of a person with DID, with the narration during split moments even using DID subculture vocabulary.
** InvokedTrope in regards to Jasper and her relationship with Steven, which was deliberately written to resemble a love affair in a platonic, [[UnEntendre tongue-in-cheek sort of way]].
** Steven's interactions with Casimir(Cactus Steven) are reminiscent of a parent with a special needs child. Given that the narrative specifically addresses Steven and Casimir as a father and son, this may be deliberate.
* DotingParent: Steven, by all accounts, appears to be one to Casimir, paying frequent visits, leaving gifts, tending to him by hand, and letting Casimir direct the flow of their conversations.
* EmotionalFainting: Exacerbated by [[IntoxicationEnsues all the alcohol Mr. Barriga had slipped him over the course of the party]], Steven faints from emotional shock after Connie proposes to him in ''Also I Love You''.
* FarmBoy: After Casimir leaves the greenhouse in ''SU:F'', he lives around the Sky Spire, tending to the temple and the mountain goats.
* FertileFeet: Steven possesses a variant of this trope. His aura bleeds out as disembodied flowers and petals manifest around him, or causing pre-existing plants to overgrow.
* FourthDateMarriage: InvertedTrope in Steven and Connie's case. Because they're ChildhoodFriends (with mutual [[PuppyLove crushes on eachother]] from the beginning, no less), by the time they get married they've known eachother for almost six years.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Steven obviously, though it's implied that even the "human" half is [[AmbiguouslyHuman less human than it appears]].
* HangoverSensitivity: AvertedTrope in ''Also I Love You''. Steven's after-Christmas mood was more related to Connie's surprise marriage proposal than the alcohol.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: Steven and Connie.
* [[HardLight Holodeck]]: Rose's Room, renamed the ''Hyperuranion Empyrean'', appears in ''Also I Love You'', updated into a proper GeniusLoci using SHELL, the AI from the Reef. Steven uses it at one point for Sten and Vendan, the components of his fusion, to speak to one another without unfusing, and has apparently done so multiple times before.
* HumanoidAbomination: Gems as a whole appeared to be viewed (not unrightly so) as this by other alien civilizations.
* IDoNotDrinkWine: Since Gems don't need to eat or drink, with most not even knowing ''how'' to, Thor's attempts at a social dinner mostly fall flat, except for [[WasOnceAMan Lars]].
* GlamourFailure: Gemsong can [[TranslatorMicrobes engrain itself into the listener's mind to sound like language]], but the true sound can still be heard underneath, making it appear as though Gems have sing-song voices.

* RidiculouslySuccessfulFutureSelf: Greg, apparently already a cult hit singer/songwriter, eventually becomes a composer for the movie adaptation of [[ShowWithinAShow Passions of Xanxor]].
** Jamie becomes the director of a Gem theatre troupe and features in at least one screen acting role.
* MarriageOfConvenience: Connie genuinely loves Steven, but wants to marry him specifically before going to college for tax calculation purposes. [[note]]FAFSA, an American government institution that deals with college scholarships and loans, calculates financial aid eligibility using a person's taxable income. In the case of an unmarried person, it is the ''parents'' joint taxable income that is calculated, regardless of whether the parents can/will be paying tuition. A married person, however, it is instead the student and spouse's joint income that is calculated. Her parents, a doctor and a security guard, would calculate as a high joint income that may not qualify for financial aid. But Connie(a college student), and Steven(an alien with no ''taxable'' income) would calculate as a low joint income eligible for financial aid. [[/note]]
* MayflyDecemberRomance: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] between Sten and Vendan as a [[RealityEnsues very real concern]] if Steven marries Connie. She would inevitably be lost to old age or untimely death, and they (especially Vendan) worry that when the time comes, Steven [[LivingEmotionalCrutch won't be able to move on if/when she dies]].
* MeaningfulRename:
** Cactus Steven is renamed as Casimir in order to encourage his own identity as someone seperate from Steven. The name has the DoubleMeaning of both [[AwesomeMcCoolname "proclamation of peace" and "destroyer of glory"]].
** Rose's room is renamed the ''Hyperuranion Empyrean''. [[note]] Hyperuranion refers to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/Plato Plato's]] Realm of Forms, the hypothetical sole true plane of existence where the perfect idea of all concepts and things existed, of which the mortal reality was an imperfect, illusory replica. Emyprean is the name of the Highest Heaven in medieval Christian cosmology, the dwelling place of God and source realm of light and creation. [[/note]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Casimir was relatively innocent before he started to mimic Steven's poor mental health. After living by himself, then being tended to by a more stable/responsible Steven, Casimir loses his violent behavior and grows into a CheerfulChild.

[[note]]FAFSA, an American government institution that deals with college scholarships and loans, calculates financial aid eligibility using a person's taxable income. In the case of an unmarried person, it is the ''parents'' joint taxable income that is calculated, regardless of whether the parents can/will be paying tuition. A married person, however, it is instead the student and spouse's joint income that is calculated. Her parents, a doctor and a security guard, would calculate as a high joint income that may not qualify for financial aid. But Connie(a college student), and Steven(an alien with no ''taxable'' income) would calculate as a low joint income eligible for financial aid. [[/note]]
