Lets talk about steven universe.
In the show, theres an episode where steven learns a bit more about his life sustaining powers when he creates watermelon stevens from his spit.
They leave at the end of the episode, and later on are shown to be developing society with children of their own, factions, language, and even opposing clans.
Later, steven (albeit unintentionally ) experiments with his powers by making a single pumpkin come to life, which does not result in a whole society due to it being singular
Now, lets talk about onion and his family.
He was born, of course, he has his birth video. His parents are vidalia and yellowtail, where sour cream-his half brother-has vidalia and marty. Notably, everyone involved in the onion line have a similar color palette.
Now. What are onions known to do? They make you cry. I believe rose was learning to cook in the past (potentially decades, or even centuries), and cried on an onion or two, which produced asexually (via bulbs). She then experimented by crying on more things.
What about onion’s birth video?
Fun fact about onions, they can also produce sexually via seeds.
I mentioned earlier that the watermelon people had their own language
Yellowtail specifically is known to have his own language, that marty does not understand
If we go with my theory, that the onions are a line originating from rose, this implies that the onions separated at some point into separate factions and different locations, and developed differently because of it.
Lastly, lets talk about soup.
Soup is made up of many ingredients such as beans, squash, onions, a soup base, etc.
Do you see what I’m getting at?
I think this friend group is the direct result of rose not only cutting onions, but experimenting after she created life, and her tears getting all over each ingredient, including the soup itself.
Their speech is limited which aligns with how the watermelon and onion youth work, they learn to talk at a later age. This also may apply to the fryman family due to their hair resembling french fries but theres not a lot of evidence for that.
It is interesting(and a little sad) to realize how similar steven and his mom are. They mirror each other in the adventures that they go on. Rose created life when she was trying to be human(learning cooking), and steven created life when he was trying to figure out his powers as a gem. They were both new to this world and reacted the same, and even if steven doesnt hear about the things his mom did, there are direct links to her in his life.
