Bro is burnt out; you can see it in his eyes. It's understandable as he's been working hard his entire life. He's a very energetic/high-spirited person and has poured so much of his energy and life into all he's put out...but I'm glad he is taking a break. Mental health is important folks and burnout is real.

Obsessive much?

[@sweepingstardust734]

This boy has a charisma, kindness, intelligence, talent and passion combined that is incredibly beautiful and rare. Particularly in the business he’s in, where you’re pulled five million directions, people ask you the same questions over and over and over, then you’re regarded as a cartoon character more than an actual person. I’m fully aware I’m just a random chick on the internet, and Zach has no idea I exist, but all the same I am extremely proud of his accomplishments, and am deeply influenced by the endless compassion and drive he has, even at wit’s end. You go, man. You take that road trip and run with it. Heaven knows you could use a well-deserved moment to freaking b r e a t h e. Love and support all the way.

[@vicoqschannel9011]

true that.

[@jamiethomas3768]

Sweeping Stardust Zach must hate being regarded as Steven. As soon as you toxic fans got too wild about it some part of Zach probably felt like he should’ve quit. Especially with that pedophile Rebecca Sugar making him do that annoying voice. VAs can’t keep voicing characters forever and that’s something else she doesn’t get.

[@jamiethomas3768]

RaindropSketches many actors have been meeting the same fate🧚‍♀️.

[@jjblade8570]

His entire demeanor seems completely different. You can tell that he is dealing with allot, but he is handling it well. Most young talent just continue going until they meet a very dark ending, so I am really happy to see that he is intelligent enough to know when to pull-back. I'm also glad he seems to have allot of key people that look out for and care about him.

[@moon_chxn7752]

QuickTip Yeah, but I’m not worried because on March 27 he did voice act so that’s a sign he’s alive.

[@KendrixTermina]

So the Crewniverse are NOT out of ideas yet by a long shot. Interesting how Zach started this out when he was pretty young, but now he's an artist in his own right and got to throw his own input into the show as a full-on contributor. Also look at his hair! Can we please appreciate his hair?

[@biscuitbot7856]

It’s ironic how Zach can relate so much to Steven on SUF, both of them are looked as the happy go to boy to everyone, and both of them are suffering from their own problems

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

Also, Zach has turned pink

Their arcs become one.....Oof, in Steven Universe Future, Steven is in so much mental pain. I hope Zach feels better and that everything ends well with Steven

[@jamiethomas3904]

We all really hope Zach's gotten better since early 2019. But SU doesn't do mentally ill people in real life justice though. You watch it happening and you hear Zach trying to portray it through Steven's character, but with the way it plays out you don't believe him and you can't connect with it. And to imply that a simple hug will fix everything is insulting. In my GEM TITANS series, everything's a lot more believable and real. Grace Rolek's character Connie Razer Maheswaran is the true main antagonist of my Gem Titans franchise and just like in Steven Universe she doesn't put the lives of others and moral obligations above renown. So, life happened for the Gem Titans and Connie Razer Maheswaran was trying to prevent Capis from conceiving and like Jennifer Paz in real life the wonderful blue gem got really really sick,and when they found out what Connie was doing, Capis💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💗💗💗💗💗💗🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊had to banish her to keep her and Jayken💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💗💓💕💞's kids safe.

I find Zach as such an inspiring human because he has been through so much, but continues to be such a wonderful person. His album really spoke to me, because he went though that, that's how he felt. I'm so happy he is taking take time for himself because he deserves it. I hope he is able to take this time to put his mental health first because he is such a good person and deserves to be happy.

[@juniormalungo5656]

1:56 He’s clearly referring to SUF here, throughout the epilogue series Steven goes through a lot of mental struggles and it really makes me feel bad for Zach. He’s been inactive on social media for months now, what he’s dealing with must be crazy.

[@feysira]

looking back now with future airing you can tell what he relates to in steven

[@Smsm-ti3cc]

I really want to meet him I’ve been admiring him for 6 years ;-; I imagined he hugged me I started crying of happiness then realized..”why am I hugging the shower hose ;U”

[@Valk2003]

To everyone who is worried about why Zachs profiles are all black pictures this usually happens when the artist is taking time off to think making new music or just doing there own thing. I am also worried about his mental health but I hope this helps ease things...

[@angwoo82]

wow, what kind of camera did this chick use? ugh, not clear at all, but still a great interview. we all can see even through the blurry picture quality that Zach is massively burnt out and exhausted by the entertainment industry and just life point blank period. i hope he turns off his phone and just travel and really just find himself. for real, and not just say, but actually do it. he is a great entertainer, and has been working his butt off for a long long long time. now he's 21, and going through that time where your getting to know your adult self leaving that kid behind. At the same time you have to embrace that kid to play a role on a popular TV show for children. I am sure it's messing with his growth process in real life as well which is why he just needs to get the hell out while he can and just breath. Discovering what "living your best life" really truly is. he should really get in touch with past child actors from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's to see how they dealt with the industry so young and managed their mental health and survived their dark times. We have lost so many young stars, but we also have survivors too that we almost lost, and are so happy they're still here with us to tell their stories. Zach is handsome, has a great career, and has money, but as you can see he is over it & just needs a break. i just hope Cartoon Network & his agent don't ruin his plans for self care.

[@elliotsmelliot2116]

[@mynameclemyo4610]

I had the biggest crush on him when I was 6 and I am so happy the show ended. Because he always looked so tired and metal heath matters more. I hope the best for him he is really nice I've met him at vidcon he is amazing and he deserves a break. And i'm happy to say I have been watching Steven Universe half of my life and also it was the best part of my life.

In case you guys didn’t know, Rebecca Sugar used to (and probably still does) draw✍️a lot of cartoon porn. Especially with SU and Ed, Edd and Eddy. Steven Universe was just an animated extension of that.
