Okay so. The reasons why it'd be impossible/against the rules to just roleplay the events of Steven Universe here on CS.
It's against the rules to roleplay abuse or a character being forced to do something against their will (unless it's part of their past and not current), including slavery. So, the entire Malachite arc is outta the question. ...Maybe The New Lars too, but that episode sucks anyway so. And also
the entire Pearl Gem-typeIt's also against the rules for one to roleplay a character taking pleasure in someone's suffering. Malachite, again. You heard what Lapis said in Alone At Sea.
It's against the rules to roleplay certain levels of detail with injury. I'd say most of the violence in SU is about borderline as far as this goes, but the scene in the return where Garnet was torn to pieces? That's like...
way past the border. A detailed description of corruption as it occurs might also fall under this, but since that isn't technically violence I'd have to ask a roleplay mod to be sure.
It's against the rules to RP someone naked, even partially. There goes Frybo, Back To The Barn, and Onion Gang.
The kissing rules. There goes Keystone Motel.
Erotic moaning and stuff? Bye bye House Guest. (it wasn't technically that kind of situation but it was still a little...weird to watch)
Hands touching certain locations? Keystone Motel and Hit The Diamond.
You can't RP self harm. Reformed was technically an episode covering that so
Fusion is commonly used to mirror many different types of intimacy, too, and sometimes that drifts into territory that'd be against the RP rules here; fusion dances seen in episodes like Coach Steven and Cry For Help come to mind. Further, because of that certain instances of fusion would be considered analogous to sexual abuse/violence, which is banned from roleplay. Jasper's addiction to fusion could also be seen as too similar to drug abuse.
Without all this stuff, key parts of the plot can't happen. So, it'd be impossible to roleplay the entire events of Steven Universe as they happened in the show.
