Shadie

Shadie is the non-binary ship between Sadie Miller and Shep from the Steven Universe fandom.

Canon
The couple first makes an appearance in “Little Graduation“, where it is revealed that Shep and Sadie first started dating each other two months prior to the epsiode, and the two first initially met while Sadie was touring with The Suspects. Sadie appears to admire Shep, admitting to Lars that “they’re so cool” and that she can’t believe that they’ve been dating for a while now. Later in the episode they are seen spending time together during the Off Colors’ graduation party and later perform a song together for the event. It is revealed by Jenny that their band, The Suspects have broken up, and now Sadie and Shep have formed their own band together.

Fanon
The ship seems to be well-received by the fandom, as many enjoy the diversity and representation of the ship. However, a handful of of others believe the ship came out of nowhere and/or it isn’t developed enough. Usually, it is the Larsadie shippers that feel this way, believing that Lars and Sadie had better relationship development than what we have seen from Shep and Sadie.

 * This is the first canon non-binary couple in Steven Universe to include an actual non-binary human instead of a gem.
