did y'all see that 10-year anniversary article where rebecca sugar talked about a lot of SU stuff including the fact they'd do a revival if people were loud about wanting it.......
for those who dont wanna click (or even those who do) here's what they say about it (at the end of the article)
I would really, really appreciate it if everyone who would be interested in something like that would make a ton of noise and make it really known — because I would be thrilled to explore that. I think in this current media landscape, if there’s a huge amount of public demand, then that is something that becomes impossible to ignore. I love these characters and I love this world, and I would love to return to it. And I hope, if everyone else feels the same as I do, I may have an opportunity to do something like that.
in general this was a really interesting interview to read but this got me excited. come on guys!!!!!

I'll post the music video stuff once I've got it all set up, along with all the other stuff I made for school. (I've been doing a BUNCH of animations on paper. Paper! I don't even have an animation desk or punched paper for that!!)

I don't know how much this will help, but honestly you can take all the time you need and even leave this behind as you have archived it. You have the right to do things at your own pace and just remember to take breaks even if only a few moments to breath. You are in the right to leave this all if you feel it is a detriment to you.
You are very sweet, and I appreciate it.
Honestly, I'd been thinking about this AU a lot lately, and what I might do with it. I'm now at the point where SU doesn't make me feel sick anymore.
I had a similar (but much worse) problem with Invader Zim much earlier on in life, and I think that if I can go back to referencing IZ with a smile, I can do the same with SU some day, you know?
Plus, I made a lot of friends when I was working on this. Some of my happiest memories were with SU groups. It would be nice to revisit that, especially now that a lot of us are older and probably more mature.
That said, I'll do my best to give myself some time to recover before getting back to any of that. It definitely won't be until December that true recuperation might even start.

A bunch of you have been liking this post since Chekhov's fanartapalooza post. I've gotten a bunch of new followers and at this point I think y'all deserve a bit of an updated explanation on where this AU might be going. I've been getting tons of questions, like:
-Where have you been all this time?
Art school. I'm in the animation certification program at Mt. San Antonio College. It's my last semester. I'm starting a work experience (basically interning for school credit) with the creator of Dogs in Space (2021) this coming week.
I also joined a band.
I genuinely have had zero time to do basically anything outside of school and band and searching for apartments and maintaining jobs and frankly I've been growing progressively more insane as time goes on because I barely have time to lie down at night, eat, or shower. I have doodled maybe like three things for myself in the past (-checks watch-) six months. Maybe longer.
-Are you still tired of Steven Universe stuff?
Yes.
In my final year and a half of my bachelor's degree, I had a hellish time, and because of how much stress I was under, my brain tried to solve the problem by hyperfixating so hard I couldn't think of anything else. When I was finally free of that Hell, I didn't want to touch SU with a ten foot pole.
I still skip every SU song in a slight panic when my Spotify brings them up on shuffle.
-But aren't you doing stuff for Mod Joe's SU AU?
He pays me to do art for him in general (not just for SU). As it turns out, money can be exchanged for goods and services, and that takes a huge priority. I'm trying to afford living costs of varying kinds. I also tutor and really need to increase my prices. By like a lot.
-Is this AU ever coming back?
Probably, if I can get my shit together after I'm done with art school. I might also have time and sanity then to rekindle some old friendships. Well, I can dream, at least.
If and when this AU does come back, it'll probably get an outright reboot. I've kind of learned a lot in school and through osmosis over time.
Is this AU still going? I went over to the discord and the gray channel is gone now.
It's archived, as Grey AU is, at the very least, not one of my current projects. I had a bunch of unfinished stuff I was doing for this, like a collaboration fusion with Chekov, but in my computer dying a horrible death I haven't managed to restore all those files yet. Other stuff has been up, too, and as of late I've found myself resenting SU as a whole. If anything, it's going to be some time before I can make myself get back to this.
Let's call it a long term hiatus.

This week, I'm thanking... @suau-grey!
This AU is an absolutely fascinating take on the idea that gems could be... organic! Instead of silicone based life-forms. It's a very interesting concept with amazing and in-depth worldbuilding for gem biology that you need to check out!
Read it on Tapas or tumblr!
Thank you Grey-AU for your amazing world and the embodiment of the spirits of Alternate Universes!

Does hair grow on Steeb’s capshell or does it only grow on his head? Or does it grow under his capshell?
His hair grows under his cap-shell, his cap-shell just lets it through.

Is there anything we can do to support you? I know your going through some really hard stuff right now and I want to know if there is anything I can do to help.
I appreciate this question. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thank you for asking this.
I have a ko-fi listed on my art blog's (@arguablyartworks) pinned post. Or you could commission me for an art piece. Otherwise, it's a big help if you tune into my Twitch channel (ArguablySo). If you have Amazon Prime, you get one free monthly Twitch subscription. If you aren't already using it, you might consider tossing it my way.
Reblogging my artwork on my art blog would also be quite helpful. Legally, I cannot make money on Steven Universe artwork almost at all for nearly any reason, so advertising my other artwork from the blog I do commissions from helps me get the word out and possibly get more commissions.
I don't expect free money from people, especially with how nuts this economy is, so definitely don't feel bad if you don't throw money at me. Even advertising me to others (from my main art blog) is a huge help.
On my mind at time of writing for which I need funds:
-student loans
-potentially needing to move
-my computer is broken and needs replacement parts badly
-my tablet is on its last legs
-new insurance needed due to turning 26 next month (this is when you are no longer on your parents' insurance in the US), and I have several pre-existing conditions, which will likely make any insurance way more expensive (which I don't think is entirely legal anymore? but companies do it anyway)

So that would mean that Nora wouldn’t get periods? Lucky…
There are positives and negatives to everything.
With no eggs, there may or may not still be shed uterin lining. I'm genuinely not sure on that front. Regardless, no children could be had.

Sorry if this is a weird question but on a previous post you mentioned that Steven’s nipples were underneath his capshell because they had no functional use.
What I want to know is would that be the same if Steven was a girl? Or would they still be under the capshell? Again, sorry about the weird question but it’s been burning at the back of my mind for a while now.
Since we're talking about this scientifically and you aren't really making it weird, sure, let's talk about this.
They're still under the cap-shell. They still have no functional use. I don't think Nora is fertile, since she has no means of egg development due to the circumstances of her birth, and she does not have the morphing capability to fuse a sperm with herself to morph into half of a new being, either.
Most real-life animal hybrids are incapable of reproduction. This is not true of all hybrid species, but it's true of most of them. The only ones that can tend to be incredibly closely related, such as ligers and tigons. Steven is not a hybrid of two closely related species by any stretch of the imagination, as he isn't even a fusion of two animals in canon, nor in the Grey AU. As such, most iterations of Steven in any case generally probably should be infertile. However, you likely could make an argument about his ability to produce children as a male, seeing as he would not need to pass on his simulated, nonexistent, or otherwise dubiously functional mitochondria to a child. Regardless, that biology would be so messed up in function that a child that somehow was born would likely need a lot of assistance to survive, especially seeing as Rose planned Steven out incredibly carefully, at least in this AU.
In any case, Nora does not have a use for nipples.

You mentioned a while ago that something bad would happen if Steeb shape shifted too much or for too long, what exactly would that be?
The way Steven's body shifts is by moving his hyphae, which completely and entirely replace his bones. Note that I specify "bones" and not "skeleton." Except for his mitochondria and blood cells, for the most part, the rest of his body is entirely and completely human with no extra powers whatsoever.
Steven has incomplete human skin. It's fragile and not very resistant to much of anything. His outer shell is malleable, but it's a defense from external stuff, not internal stuff.
Moving his hyphae to morph will allow him to shapeshift as much as his skin, muscles, tendons, and so on might naturally stretch. That's it. Otherwise, things begin to tear.
In other words, he tries to morph? His muscles rip apart, his skin might open up, tendons might tear, and all in all it's just incredibly painful and a great way to lose a lot of blood real fast.
That's not even mentioning the fact that he doesn't have great control over his hyphae regardless, so they kinda go berserk.

So... I noticed that you haven't posted anything since November last year... Are you okay???
Physically? Working on that
Emotionally? Also working on that
Living status? Dubious
That said, I have been working and trying to make ends meet. I have about three or four side-jobs that collectively sorta make a singular main job. It'd be a lot easier if I had a more reliable source of income.
Most of the stuff I have been posting (other than, y'know, the usual Tumblr social media reblogging and such, I'm talking art and original content) is on my art blog ( @arguablyartworks ).
Otherwise, one of my side jobs that's finally starting to trickle in a bit of cash is my Twitch channel (weekends 2 pm pacific, Saturdays games, Sundays art show), partially meant to be an advertisement for my commissions, which has sorta worked? A little?
One of those side jobs is also the return of SU Revived (@su-revived ), as Mod Joe actually does pay me to do editing and occasionally artwork for him for that and his other project.
Beyond that, there have been tons of health issues lately in my family. I won't go into detail, but I'm very drained because of it.
TL;DR: adult life is hard because health issues keep happening and jobs are not stable and pay too little. I am starved for cash and most of my own personal projects that can't really make any money are thus kind of left to the wayside.

Does this AU have it own version of the cluster?
Indeed it does!
Interestingly, thanks to mycological terminology, it's still called "The Cluster."
If anything, it might be more messed up, albeit only somewhat.

What would the white, blue, and yellow Steven’s weapons be?
That's a good question.
The issue is that I would feel pressured to decide on weapons different from those other AUs have given them. And I'm particularly influenced in my idea of what his weapons would be by those AUs.
[not influenced by another AU afaik] Uhhhhh I think maybe gauntlets or brass knuckle type things for Yellow Steeb? Or possibly a hammer? Something smacky and mostly blunt. Definitely not a bat, though. He's more elegant than that. If I have to choose one, probably the hammer, because I'm biased.
[influenced by the Blue Steven with a scarf, avoiding crossbow] For Blue Steeb, probably either water itself, emotional stuff, or something grabby or ranged. Possibly more nunchuck-y? If I had to choose now, it'd be a cat-o-nine-tails, I think, utilized more for capture than anything else.
[influenced by Ask White Pearl and Steven, avoiding staff/spear] I don't think White Steeb has a weapon honestly. I think it's just control of gemkind. I think she's something like incomplete, so she doesn't get one. I planned to sort of foreshadow that White herself can't do certain things by showing Peridot's incompletion.

Why does teen white Steeb look so happy? Also he is rocking the outfit he’s wearing.
By his teenhood, he has fully accepted that he is simply frightening, and thus takes pride in the fact that he can have friends who no longer see him as frightening.
And thank you, I'm a bit of a fashion fan, lol.

Why does your white Steven have a mask? And why do the teenage versions of yellow, blue, and white Steven look so tired?
White Steven has a mask because he's covered in mycelium and has weird looking eyes. Generally it's to keep people from being scared of him.
Yellow Steven is trying to keep his violent urges calm. That can get pretty tiring, I can assure you.
Blue Steven just has droopy eyes, and probably depression.
