[Steven blushes a little - it's not often he talks about this sort of thing to non-gems, and usually other humans just sort of shrug it off.]

I think so. At least about a few things! The gems' problems are sort of complicated, but a lot of the Diamonds' issues seemed to come from believing they had to be perfect all the time. I tried to show them they weren't perfect, and that it was okay to be that way... I think, when they accept that, a lot of other things will change too.

[He scratches his cheek sheepishly.]

Of course, I kind of had an advantage. I'm part of the Diamonds' family, on my mom's side... so they were willing to listen without shattering me for longer than average!

[If it hadn't been for his connection to Pink Diamond, who knows if they'd have ever listened? He can't take credit for all of that.]
