Hes only just come into his own, and hes sort of developing in real time.

Was this intentional or just the direction the writing naturally took?
Yes, completely intentional.
And at the same time, have something to say about the fact that that really is absurd.
Ultimately, what do you want to accomplish with the series?
Is it to make it known that children are just children and we dont have to gender-fy everything?
Thats definitely part of it.
But I know it wasnt necessary.
How has working onAdventure Timepreviously helped or influenced Steven Universe?
I always wanted to be a cartoonist and an animator, but I never thought Id be writing songs.
I think I started learning that onAdventure Timeand I really feel that now.
Well, we started getting Steven up to speed.
But in real life there are things that you just learn.
I have a long-term dream thats way into the future.
I just have a lot of themes that I want to touch on while I have the chance.
So what Ive wanted to say about that has definitely sort of grown with me.
So yes I do have an end goal, but its not rigid.
I have a go at do the show like life, have plans but know that they can change.
One last question: whos your favorite Gem and why?
I mean, hes my brother.
The show is so much about us and hes really saved my life.
