Steven Universe Overcomes the Guilt of Living in "Mindful Education"
I love this show. "Up to this point, we’ve gotten a limited glimpse at Steven’s relationship with Rose Quartz (which, as he’s said, is complicated). The Steven-Amethyst arc a few weeks ago explored his feelings of inadequacy that stem from his lack of her power. Characters ranging from Bismuth and Peridot, to Jasper and Eyeball have forced him to consider the blurred line separating his identity from his mother’s. A line in the Season Two episode “Joy Ride” lets us know that Steven thinks the Crystal Gems hold him responsible, to some degree, for Rose’s “death.” But the image above is the first time we bear witness to a crucial pillar of Steven’s self-concept: he feels guilty for having killed Rose Quartz."
