Silver Tongue

artemispanthar:

do you ever think about how Steven Universe created the concept of Fusion as a rather beautiful meditation on the concept of collective identity, how we are naturally different people (in small ways) with every single person we have a relationship with, how your relationship with a person (or persons) is so unique and specific compared to your relationships with anyone else that it’s practically its own person, Fusion being the personification of the very abstract idea of the collective you that relationship is, how a relationship isn’t just a combination of the traits of the people involved but actually has its own traits unique to the relationship that each individual doesn’t have (or doesn’t outwardly express or not to the same extent), that a relationship is essentially its own fleeting often-temporary person, the concept of a collective you being an I and not a we

and then a whole wing of people just decided “oh, it’s sex???” beyond all logical reason and even when the show had children fuse and people with parent-child relationships fuse decided that that must mean the show was condoning pedophilia and incest and rape rather than realize that they just catastrophically misunderstood the entire premise of Fusion, even though the show literally had the main character sing a silly little song about it in the very first episode it came up in which blatantly spells out the concept of Fusion as “the person you are together

and get mad about it? ‘Cause I do!
