* [[BoisterousBruiser Thor]] seems depressed and anxious during this time period, a far cry from the way he acted in ''Thor 1'' or ''Avengers''. Well, ''Thor 1'' was sort of a TraumaCongaLine for Thor, in retrospect. He'd been disowned and kicked out, thought his father had died, had possibly the [[NighInvulnerable first legitimate near-death experience]] in his life, and watched his brother commit suicide, all over the course of a few days. The Asgard arc of ''Diamond Drop'' occurs only a few months after ''Thor 1''- to an aeisr, [[IRememberItLikeItWasYesterday that's barely yesterday]].

* Why does Steven apparently trust Bismuth with very personal matters more than Garnet/Amethyst/Pearl, who he has known for far longer? Well, the trio, as well intentioned as they were in raising Steven, weren't actually very good guardians- as pointed out in SU:F, even if they've gone through CharacterDevelopment, Steven essentially learned not to trust them, to the point of seeing himself as the parent in their relationship. Bismuth, on the other hand, has been shown to be consistently supportive of Steven as his own person, and lacked the Rose-related expectations that caused much of the other Crystal Gem's problems concerning Steven. And while she did mistakes with him, she quickly realized them and apologized without expectations of forgiveness.

!!''Like A Word, A Sound, A Song''

* The concept of gemsong would explain why Gems [[AliensSpeakingEnglish appear to speak human language]] without even needing to meet humans, and why the Zoomans were able to communicate with Steven and Greg despite thousands of years of language drift.
* Why does Steven have such a slow heartbeat? Well, it's confirmed that his gem is what keeps him alive. Lars and Lion, who were resurrected with Steven's powers, also display negligible heartbeats.
* Steven's body having the appearance of "shutting down" when he sleeps may be a case of LiteralMetaphor- since Gems are basically AI, he may literally be entering a shutdown mode to approximate sleep.
* Why does Steven apparently trust Bismuth with very personal matters more than Garnet/Amethyst/Pearl, who he has known for far longer?
