This is What I Do With My Life (Book 2)

Talking About Steven Hating Kevin

Okay, so this contains spoilers for the episode "Beach City Drift" and other episodes

So, I was watching this clip on YouTube, and it had Steven saying he hated Kevin. I was also scrolling through the comments and found a lot saying how out of character Steven was in this episode, because of him hating Kevin.

I saw people also saying how can he hate Kevin who basically just gave off a rape-y vibe, when Jasper, who-keep in mind, Stevonnie in "Crack the Whip" demanded an apology-tried to kill Steven-half of Stevonnie-and hurt his "family" in more then one way.

Then there was people saying that Steven understands that Jasper and the Homeworld gems know that they have a purpose that they can't change, and to make this worse-for him anyway-is that they are following orders from the Diamond Authority, their rulers.

Kevin, on the other hand, doesn't act like the gems, because he's human, and doesn't know his purpose is life. (Even though, we know it's to piss off Steven and Connie.) He has a choice in his actions. The Diamond Authority didn't just tell him to hit on Stevonnie, he chose to hit on them.

Steven hates Kevin for a sense of, lack for a better term, possessiveness towards Connie. Kevin hitting on Stevonnie didn't make Steven hate him because it was a guy hitting on him, and being a down right creep, it was because Connie was apart of that fusion. Kevin was-in a sense-hitting on Connie.

Steven has showed many actions to liking her. Feeling nervous when introducing himself in "Bubble Buddies", not telling Connie about the ending of that series in "Open Book" because of how she'd react. Yelling "keep your hands off my Connie" in "Nightmare Hospital", trying to get Connie to stay in "Winter Forecast" and tiring himself out to make himself to look more like 14 for Connie in "Steven's Birthday" (and the comment about being First Boy 😜) just to name a few. Saying those things, and doing those things are not sometime you normally do to 'just a friend' of the opposite sex.

Trust me! I know!

Even though they were fused into Stevonnie, Steven felt as Kevin was trying to take Connie away. Flirt with her to woo her over into going with him.

It's a natural reaction. To be 'possessive' over someone you like, like Steven with Connie.

I think Steven's hatred is defiantly justified.

If you ship Stevonnie of course.

I mean, Connie would be the one to really hate Kevin because of her being a girl and him hitting on her. (Well, both of them.) But it's Steven who we really see making a big deal over Kevin, because I think he's experiencing jealousy.

He's the one who likes Connie, and he's the one who wants her.

But I mean, that's just my theory based off of some YouTube comments and some actions I know of.

And proof for Steven liking Connie anyway.

But yeah.

Tell me what you guys think and I'll see ya soon maybe with some Stevonnie art.

Bye!!
