->When his Diamond powers suddenly begin to manifest way outside his control, 16-year old Steven Universe is forced to face the worst aspects of himself head-on, all while trying to navigate the world after happily ever after. The aftermath of Spinel's attack on Delmarva was just the beginning of his problems. Steven now faces not only the growing turmoil within himself but an army of obstacles from both human and gem forces alike that have set their sights on the Crystal Gems and Little Homeworld.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

And to a lesser degree, half the reason that Evil!Steven is so antagonistic after White Diamond’s actions is due to the many times the Gems and Greg left him alone growing up, plus all the trauma most of the other cast members put him through and the many cases where he was ignored for other things.
