How is it now that I realize this? Wouldn't Steven technically retreat to his gem without his clothes? Cuz we've seen that his are actual clothes, the other gem's clothes are probably like their bodies… made outta light or something. I probably seem like "that guy" bringing realism into this, but all I can think of are the comedic possibilities this brings up.

Like he reforms and everyone's just kinda quiet not sure how to tell him, or he comes back with light clothes and doesn't know how to take them off to go to the bathroom. I mean people have been going for feels when making stuff like this; which isn't bad, not in the slightest, but no one ever thought to try and make it funny?

Look at that.
He got himself new clothes too.
