The eponymous Steven is a boy who alongside his mentors, the Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl) must learn to use his inherited powers to protect his home, Beach City, from the forces of evil. The point of doing that (besides fun) was to easily invoke the feeling that Steven was being made to be someone he’s not, and that he was being treated like THIS is who he really is when it isn’t. The characters of Steven Universe might not find beauty in the same ways that ordinary humans do, but that's what makes them so great!

The Rhodonite side story would have been about the love story of a Ruby and a Pearl working for Morganite. And everything associated with Rose makes more sense once you know she’s Pink–especially what happened with Bismuth, considering what we know about how Pink Diamond has a habit of treating anyone who no longer serves her interests. Chris McDonnell has designed books on Ralph Bakshi, Bill Plympton, the Joker, Wonder Woman, and many more. I defiantly recommend it to anyone who loves Steven universe, the artwork and the process is just gorgeous to look at and read about! The book talks about the origin, development, character design, writing and storyboarding, sound, backgrounds, animation and post production, and what the future holds.

There's so much more to Steven and his universe than that, but that alone is more than many people know. The timeline includes the birth of the Diamonds, the emergence and major story beats for each major character, and some philosophy of the driving force behind each. But Rebecca and the Crew valued that approach and loved the way fresh eyes would handle an idea, making it come back alive, entertaining, vivid. They absolutely did not want any ending that required Rose to be inside him or waiting to come back. On July 17, 2017, in a post published on her Tumblr account, Hilary Florido claimed responsibility for the text written beside Concrete, expressing her regret and apologies.

The imprint includes titles from hit shows such as Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, Steven Universe, and Uncle Grandpa.K. Jemisin, a well-known science fiction author who’s a huge fan of the show (and wrote a really excellent series that also has a weird geological connection, by the way). Ian Jones-Quartey emphasizes that the movie and Future are separate and different from the original show, which ENDED. But another “heart” of the Crystal Gems is its relationships–particularly, Garnet, the fairy tale romance embodied.
