uh so sounds like steven has been on missions all over galaxy dismantling the empire and that he might have sometimes taken a long time between visits back to earth. so i thought that steven would absolutely do what he imagined garnet doing in “Garnet’s universe”: he would have a picture of his family that he’d look at for comfort and motivation when days get long with the diamonds and the dismantling. (pffft what phones? i specifically wanted to refer to the episode with paper.)

i have problems with tone whenever i draw comics. this was supposed to be lighthearted but it turned into almost a study of his two-year job and the diamonds. but i felt like it needed context so i guess it ended up alright? storytelling hard.

i’ll redo the last panel sometime when i have energy for spatial awareness and geometry kasdlas it’s okay if you’re confused about where he is, so am i.
