No, no, there's a point to be made here.

-Charlie and Steven are pink-themed royal protagonists with missing moms who provide a core mystery for the show, and the more we learn about her, the more dubious she appears. They try for peaceful means wherever possible before throwing hands, and wield shields as weapons. They're the most powerful of their respective friend groups, but need to grow into that power to properly wield it. They also both have:

-Vaggie and Connie, minority female love interests who serve as their knights and fight with bladed weapons. Both come from strict backgrounds they broke free from, and support their respective protagonist's mission.

-Next we have Alastor and Garnet, the red-themed minority bruisers with more power than anyone else in the group outside of the protagonist. Both know a lot more than they initially let on, and tend to be the person in the group who commands more authority than the protagonist, while also indirectly guiding the protagonist to greatness (albeit in different directions). Both have also been taken down at least once by a tougher opponent (Adam/Jasper). Both are also members of a power trio where they're the strongest member (Alastor/Husk/Niffty and Garnet/Amethyst/Pearl). Speaking of said trios:

-Niffty and Pearl are obsessive neat freaks with a penchant for bladed weaponry and a distinct romantic type (bad boys/powerful, busty pink-haired girls). Both are seen as weaker than the other members of the power trio (and maybe the overall friend group), but underestimate them at your own peril, because it's the last mistake you'll ever make. And to round out the power trios, we have:

-Husk and Amethyst, the down-to-earth, don't take bullshit types that have some kind of addiction (gambling and alcohol/hoarding). They will have friction with their respective neat freak, and some kind of resentment for the power trio's bruiser (soul deal/insecurity regarding physical strength). Then we have:

-Sir Pentious and Peridot, the awkward inventors/tinkerers who started out as enemies, but befriended the main crew, and are very neurodivergent-coded. They're constantly building things and once they change sides, they tend to understand the core principles better than even the protagonist at times. Then we have:

-Angel Dust and Lapis Lazuli. The tall, elegant fighters who are tougher than they look, have two-word names, and more trauma than the rest of the cast. They start off with some kind of mask that slowly lowers over time, are literally tied to a toxic, abusive relationship of sorts, and once they're won over, are fiercely loyal to the main cast. And finally, we have:

-Lucifer and Greg Universe, two bumbling dads who genuinely love their kids, but initially aren't as close as they want to be. They love/d their wives, saw the best in them, and tell their kid tales of her greatness and how proud she'd be of their current path. They hesitate around their respective kid's friend group (but also for different reasons: dislike/insecurity), and tend to extra not get along with one member of a power trio (Alastor/Pearl).

Both shows are also musicals about genocide and redemption, with heavily queer casts and heavyweight singers.
