* GenreSavvy: Vidalia already knew that Blue Pearl was an alien when she was “told” by her and Steven, due to her friendship with Amethyst, and gems being a AmazingTechnicolorPopulation compared to humans.
--> '''Vidalia''': “I mean, yeah. I figured. I mean, the blue skin was kind of a dead giveaway.”
** Also, besides Amethyst (who never participated in the war), the Crystal Gems are all extremely cautious around Steven, due to his status as a [[TheDreaded Diamond]], despite him being half-human.

** [[spoiler:later when Lapis Lazuli begins teaching Steven his hydrokinetic abilities, she discovers that he learned most of the advanced techniques that Gems like her uses from watching [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]], which she herself becomes a casual fan of that she begins using terms from the show.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: plenty of the characters make shout outs to other franchises:
** Plenty of characters are into [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar The Last Airbender]], which becomes useful as a learning method for Steven to master his [[MakingASplash hydrokinesis]], (Lapis herself is intrigued by the show, and [[KlingonsLoveShakespeare steadily becomes a fan]] that a few chapters later she is using terms from the show)
** At Stevens' birthday party, he told Other Pearl that he had finally memorized the [[Franchise/StarWars Ataru Form]]
