as much as the crowd dedicated to complaining about inconsistencies in children’s shows are the bane of my existence and i go out of my way to ignore everything they’ve ever said,

an episode of steven u came on tv and i thought “oh steven’s fat, this must be season 1″

this isn’t ‘he’s off model the animators can’t even draw!’, but they must have decided to change the model to slim him down from a clear portrayal of a fat kid to a more generic chibi looking design that isn’t clearly meant to look like any body type that exists in real life. it’s also gross how his design slims down roughly during when he starts to get a lot stronger and more capable with his powers. idk how much of this was conscious or not but i hate it and it’s so much more glaring every time I rewatch old eps
