So Many Birthdays

So Many Birthdays was pretty crazy Steven Universe episode. Steven wanted to throw birthdays for Garnet Amethyst and Pearl. But the Gems don't celebrate birthdays. Steven even let them wear the birthday suit how cool Pearl says they don't age they can still get hurt and die wow.

But then Steven starts to age and almost dies of getting older!

Too Many Birthdays is the episode of Steven Universe where Steven learns that the gems don't celebrate their birthdays and try to throw parties for them. I could see why they don't as different planets' years and days are different amount of time (like a Mars year is 1.88x a Earth year and a Mars day is slightly longer than an Earth one and a Jupiter Day is around 10 hours) and that Gems have more important things to do than celebrate birthdays (like expanding the galactic empire if Homeworld gem or saving the world if a Crystal Gem). It also shows Steven having the power of age manipulation, of which he is able to control his age. It may not appear a lot after this episode but it still shows him having that ability. That help expand Steven's story a bit by showing him taking a step back at birthdays and seeing that if parties are truly needed and makes another deep episode.
