Idk if anyone cares, but I have a cat named Cecilia Rose. When I got her I was 15, and SUPER fucking into SU. I wanted to name her something based off the show. I nearly went with Ruby, but my friend got 2 hamsters and named them Ruby and Steven, so I didn't want it to look like I was copying her. Pearl and Garnet were ALSO contenders, but neither felt right. I finally settled on Rose, called her Rose in my head for like, a week, and then backed out. My friend was like "Why not name her Cc after *my* cat" (her cats name was Chub Chub) I liked Cc, but didn't want to name my fuckin cat Chub Chub, and also still VERY much wanted an SU reference in her name (all my pets have anime/cartoon names, my dogs are Karma and Azula ffs) so I pushed Rose to a middle name, and decided I DID like Cc, but just "Cc Rose" didn't sound right. My sister in law was like "How about Cecilia?" And it stuck. My cat just turned 4 in June, and today is her "Gotcha Day" aka the day I brought her home (I staked a claim on her like 4 days after she was born) so here's the heathen for tax. She went missing for a year, came back fixed and with a clipped ear, and I love her and her name. I figured I might as well share her name story since she didn't have one until like a week before I brought her home. Here's pics of the day I got her, to now. Her name fits I think. I'd probably die for her.
Wanted to add my own little notes here bc fusion did not make sense to me until literally Reuinted.
Anyway, when Steven is officiating their wedding, he refers to Garnet as Ruby and Sapphires love, given form. And I think that's exactly what fusion is. It's the gems relationships given a form.
Whether it's a good relationship, a toxic one, an unstable one, each fusion represents the different ways gems feel for each other when fused.
It's not really "having sex" so much as manifesting their feelings in a way that is extremely literal.
Take Malachite, the most toxic and unstable fusion we see in the series, she is the relationship between Jasper and Lapis, and it's bad. The fusion is bad, they almost fall apart MANY times.
Then you get fusions like Sugalite, who are rash and angry, because Amethyst and and Garnet bring out the worst in each other LITERALLY.
You have Sardonyx that gets carried away easily, much like how Pearl and Garnet do when separated.
Smokey, who is powerful, but represents the negative feelings and self esteem issues that both Amethyst and Steven have.
Or the more stable fusions, like Opal, who we unfortunately didn't see enough of who is rational and precise. Or Stevonnie, who is confident and intelligent, and who LOVES being themselves.
TL;DR: Fusion is a complicated concept, but it's literally just the physical manifestation of their relationships. It is in NO WAY them "doing it"
Well I'm new on Steven universe so I would like to know what does the fuse mean. I mean I understand it's as like having you know but at the same time I've heard that it's a representation of trust. Does it have the same connotations?
Uh, there are people who know way more about than me. Try looking it up lol
Personally I think it just any kinda of relationship, whether it’s good or bad. Hope that helps
I've only got like, 5 or 6 months before my AU comes out, and I'm super excited, but I have SO much work to do. I've started working on some pilot panels, and I like them so far, but this site makes comics look so easy and it's really not lol.
Okay, maybe it's just me, but Steven's cough right here, made me SO happy
Now, it was more than likely unintentional, but since you don't know me, you all should know that when I cough, it sounds IDENTICAL to this.
I've always called it a "honk cough". Anyways, I've always been super insecure about it, and hate coughing in areas w lots of people, bc I get weird or nasty looks, so going out in public with a cold really really sucks.
So the first time I watched this, I got SO damn excited. I showed my partner, and said "Look! Look Steven's like me! He has a honk cough like I do!"
Anyway, it's a very small but very important detail, and I love SU so much for it.
I thought a cool aspect for my AU would be giving Steven the "Rapunzel" type treatment.
Anyway, here's an idea I sort of had for his tower, where he's kept bc white refers to him as a "galactic embarrasment" and chooses to keep him hidden.
There's a convenient warp pad in there though! It can only take him to the Zoo so he can eat :(
Idk what the spiky things are yet. More sentient walls?? I just think they look cool.
