When Onion gets lost in the Temple, Steven chases off after him to make sure he doesn't get hurt. [22] A sneak peek of the 2014 series was featured in Adventure Time's Spoooktacular #1 as a teaser to the TV series, as well as being featured in Kaboom! Summer Blast for one of its annual Free Comic Book Days.

Most of the show's incidental music is composed by the chiptune piano duo Aivi & Surasshu, with guitars by Stemage. [75] Jeff Liu, who was familiar with producer Aivi's musical score for the video game Cryamore, recommended them to Sugar as a composer. Sugar asked Aivi to audition and agreed that producer Surasshu could join them. Aivi & Surasshu scored a clip from " Gem Glow", the series' first episode; Sugar liked their work and hired them as series composers. [76] Before composing an episode, Aivi & Surasshu video chat with Sugar and the creative director to discuss the episode; they have a week to send Sugar a preview score. [77] After any necessary changes, Aivi & Surasshu send the score to Sabre Media Studios for the final mix with their sound designs. [78] In Issue #3 of the 2014 series, Steven says that he's not the musical one, his father is; Greg follows by saying that it's time to begin Steven's first lesson. This is contradicted by the " We Are the Crystal Gems" short, where a younger Steven has already learned how to play basic ukelele. Vague Age: Stevonnie says they'll have to wait until they're old enough for a drivers license to see PG-13 movies, whereupon they begin to wonder " How old AM I?" BTVA Voice Acting Awards 2017".

Call-Forward: Acts as a sort of prequel for "Raising the Barn", as Lapis is worried about her safety on Earth, but not to the point of wanting to leave. The series' first season gradually reveals that the Crystal Gems are fugitives from a great interstellar empire. During their missions they visit ruins that were once important to Gem culture but have been derelict for millennia. The Gems are cut off from the Gem homeworld, and Steven learns that many of the monsters and artifacts they encounter are Gems who were corrupted by a Gem weapon of mass destruction and can no longer maintain rational, humanoid form. By the end of the first season, Steven learns that, millennia ago, the Gem empire intended to sterilize the Earth to incubate new Gems, but Rose Quartz led her supporters, the Crystal Gems, in a violent and apparently successful rebellion against this genocidal plan. The discovery and release of Lapis Lazuli, a Gem trapped on Earth for millennia, puts the Crystal Gems at risk from the Gem empire once more, leading to the arrival of hostile envoys Peridot and Jasper.

Opal's Day Off" and "Dog Show" are the mini stories included and "Enjoying the Sun" is the special illustration. The writers—formerly Levin and Burnett—would write the premises and outlines while the storyboarders wrote and drew the episodes. [51] [52] [53] Everyone would wait at least a day to get together and discuss. [51] The writers write potential episode names on paper cards, which they pin on the conference-room wall to review what they have written and plan their meetings. They discuss episode pacing and vary each season's texture by balancing "lighter" and "heavier" story arcs. [30] Changes in major-character appearances—such as Yellow Diamond—in a storyline can be difficult for the writers. [54] According to Ben Levin, writing a season of Steven Universe is like a "jigsaw puzzle" because the writing team must assemble a number of plot ideas, which are discarded if they do not benefit character growth. After further discussion and questions about the writing, an idea becomes an episode. After discussing a season's proposed episodes the "puzzle" is complete, and they begin writing a major story arc or a season finale. Burnett said writing a season is like an algebraic equation "where one side is the season finale, and the x's and y's are the episodes we need for that solution to make sense"; he cited "Ocean Gem", " Steven the Sword Fighter", "Monster Buddies", "An Indirect Kiss" and "Serious Steven" as examples. Those episodes led to the season-one finale as a minor story arc. [30] To develop new ideas for episodes, the writers play writing games. In one, a scenario with characters is drawn and passed to another writer. The second writer adds a few sentences before giving it to a third, until the drawing has a three-act story. Episodes such as "Island Adventure", "Future Boy Zoltron" and "Onion Friend" were written this way. [55] The writers also play drawing games, which design new Gem characters and technological ideas. Burnett said he and Levin use fewer ideas from the storyboarders than they previously did; storyboarders change fewer things than they did before because the episodes have a "stronger continuity".
