Reasons Why I'm Pretty Sure Steven Universe Is The Best Show Ever

"We, are the Crystal Gems 

We'll always save the day!

And if you think we can't,

we'll always find a way!

That's why the people of this world

Believe in

Garnet-

Amethyst-

And Pearl- 

AND STEVEN!" 

 If you don't know this song, it's the theme song of the show "Steven Universe" on cartoon network (and in my heart). If you do know it, I hope you sang it in all their voices like I did because that's the best way to sing this. I didn't put a number of reasons in the title was that I have no idea how many reasons I have to love this show as much as I do. Here's my personal list of reasons why this is my favorite show: 

1. The theme song 
2. How the show slowly gets more intense while staying cute
3. How it slowly describes concepts children wouldn't be able to understand all at once
4. How it shows different types of relationships and how they work 
5. How it addresses unhealthy relationships
6. How it addresses what healthy relationships should look like 
7. The fact that it demonstrates good ways to vent your feelings
8. It demonstrates what bad venting looks like
9. Redemption Arcs!!!!
10. It demonstrates concepts like racism and moral ambiguity without being overwhelming 
11. They're literally the cutest
12. The music
13. The development of everyone's relationships (Greg/the gems, Connie/ Steven, Gems/Peridot) 
14. How they address the conventional family dynamic
15. the demonstration of how fantasies like cloning, time travel, and shapeshifting can go wrong and affect you badly
16. The fact that they are all forced, throughout the course of the show, to address differences in their personalities and confront themselves and each other about their problems
17. CANON GAYS!!!!
18. This is the first show I've seen with lesbians where they weren't killed so yeah 
19. and it's for kids
20. and it specifically says that whether you agree with it or not love is love and you shouldn't question it
