i think i finally figured out what irks me so much about steven universe. the fusion aspect is so unbelievably creepy to me. an entirely new person is created by overwriting two individual beings, and once the fusion is over that new person simply just... ceases to exist again??
Not so much overwriting as it is two people coming together, and something new is formed from each persons love, be it familial or romantic. If a fusion stops part of them is still alive within each person, the only thing that really ceases to exist is their room.
