Everyone was off-model in the Season 1A...
Garnet's fro could get extremely massive...but nowadays it's the total opposite.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Wow, I haven't been on this thread in a like 100 pages.
Did anyone else notice the references to the Nativity in this last episode? Steven is a Messianic Archetype, after all. The gems coming to visit baby Steven bearing three gifts. Greg holding baby Steven while draped in blue. Seriously guys.
A nice touch for the holiday season.

I was going to chalk most of that up to coincidence, but yeah, can't really get around the blue cloak.
The Gems spent most of their time since the War holed up in their temple and fighting the occasional baddie. Years are worthless if they're devoid of any meaningful experiences. Steven shook them up in a real positive way, allowing for emotional growth.

Fun fact: During the Rennaissance, the Virgin Mary's blue robes were most often painted with lapis lazuli pigment. (The pigment was very expensive, so it was reserved for only the most important of things) What does it mean?

It probably means exactly what you said...or...in the show it means she'll only be important rarely.

There are two possible paths: one, the Gem does everything and simply took cues from Greg's genetic code in order to make Steven. Here cracking or shattering would affect him the same as other gems.
The second path is that the Gem actually does very little when he's not using his powers, it just translates Rose's "Design" into DNA and projects that half of his DNA throughout his cellular structure, meaning that cracking and shattering wouldn't manifest immediately (beyond a loss of powers), but he would rapidly start to degrade because any cells produced going forward would be hideously mutated.
I think it's the latter if only because Steven seems to truly *need* to eat, and not just eats out of a psychosomatic assumption that he needs to eat. Ergo, biologics.
