There's only one way to be fair here. They have to kill everyone!

Lots of people seem to think Lars is a dead man walking just by the skull on his shirt,which is either foreshadowing or a very clever red herring

To date,no major character has ever died on Steve Universe,but I wouldn't rule out someone dying in the final because that's where it's most likely to happen

I think it also has to do with him being shown in a lot of danger in the trailer. He's just a squishy human with no powers after all.

He could be bi, I suppose (or pan?).

That said, I don't think I've seen anyone ship him with anyone other than Connie. I suppose it helps that they genuinely have chemistry together.

True. I suppose I'm surprised that people took to the canon ship so well. A testament to the good writing here, I think.

I feel like the people who want genuinely good representation and the Het Is Ew people generally are not the same, so I'm not surprised. The first one does not preclude heterosexuals from existing or also having good, developed relationships.

I mean, this fandom apparently has it's darker underbelly like harassment and threats to story-boarders but, again, those types aren't generally into things for constructive purposes to begin with.

It probably helps that the reason Steven is like he is is genuinely sweet and Connie is also "good representation". Which still feels weird for me to type, but I think you all know what I mean.

Well, they're not technically in a relationship either, so there's not anything for people to take badly.

It's pretty clear that their relationship is meant to be romantic. "Here Comes a Though" contains a direct parallels between Ruby and Sapphire, and Steven and Connie. It's one of the few cases where a straight relationship is confirmed by comparing it to a canon gay relationship I might add.

Most of the people I know who dislike heterosexual relationships in media don't really hate them on principle so much as how prevalent they can be (at the expense of any other kind of relationship), as well how many feel forced and indulge in tired and/or unhealthy tropes.

Fortunately, none of that appears to be true for Stevonnie.

I mean, ignoring the forced part, most relationships would be heterosexual even if everyone in the world was completely accepting of everything else.

This show has plenty of straight relationships or implication, the idea that it's somehow rare here seems strange. It just doesn't act like those are the only kind of relationships.

Yeah, but it still isn't officially romantic. They haven't had a Relationship Upgrade yet.

[up][up] I mean, I'm not saying they're rare here, so as they're generally well-written and avoid common pitfalls, plus what you said.

[up][up]You're probably right.

[up]I think Rhymebeat was actually saying that in general it's uncommon for gay and straight relationships to be compared to / parallel each other. Although I'm not sure that's true either.

[up] I thought what Rhyme Beat meant was that it's unusual to have a straight relationship be "proven" to be romantic by comparing it to a canon same-sex relationship.

Most of the people I know who dislike heterosexual relationships in media don't really hate them on principle so much as how prevalent they can be (at the expense of any other kind of relationship), as well how many feel forced and indulge in tired and/or unhealthy tropes.

Yeah, that's how I feel about most het relationships. I don't dislike them on principle, but I don't tend to like many of them because a lot of them seem forced/just there for the sake of having a relationship.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

I'm not really sure what being heterosexual has to do with that.
