You people who think Steven should've killed the Diamonds, I just have one question for you:

How?

How? With what weapons? With what powers? With what army? How, exactly, could he have killed them?

Even if Steven wanted to, he couldn't have done it, he wasn't strong enough. He wasn't powerful enough. At least, not at the time of CYM.

This isn't like Avatar where Aang could've easily killed Osai if he'd wanted to, he was just some guy with really strong fire bending, he wasn't that difficult to kill.

The Diamonds were the biggest, strongest, most powerful things in the universe. How, exactly, was Steven supposed to kill them? Even if he wanted to, it wouldn't be possible for him.

He has powers and he's strong, but he's not strong enough. He's only 14. How is he supposed to kill them? He's short for a 14-year-old and those things are FUCKING HUGE.

What? With the Breaking Point? The Breaking Point's design is actually really flawed. You have to get super close to the other Gem to be able to kill them. It's not like a gun, where you can shoot from far away, you have to get super close or it doesn't work.

Little potato Steven wouldn't have been able to get close enough to any of the Diamonds to use the Breaking Point, they would've stomped on him.

Any way I try to slice it, there's no way Steven or any of the other good guys could've killed the Diamonds. They were too strong. They couldn't even poof them.

And I guarantee you. The same people who say Steven should've killed the Diamonds would probably have said "Deus Ex Machina" if Steven had suddenly found some great, powerful weapon or some insanely strong power up that would've allowed him to do the deed. You people are never satisfied. You always find something to complain about.

Also also, if Steven killed the Diamonds, then they wouldn't have been able to cure the Corrupted Gems and that would've been a crappy ending for fans of Jasper and Centipeedle.

So, if you have an enemy and you can't kill them (you literally, physically can NOT), you can't lock them up in prison, you can't even ignore them.... what's left? Talking. You have no choice but to use words. It's the only thing you have. Steven had no choice but to talk to them. He wasn't strong enough to do anything else. Talking was literally the only option.

Steven couldn't have killed them even if he had wanted to, he couldn't even poof them. None of the good guys could have done anything. They couldn't lock them up or punish them. It wasn't even an option. Talking was the only thing that had a sliver of a chance at working.

If Steven had tried to kill them, he'd be dead now.

If you want to argue he should've killed them, I need you to explain to me HOW.

Are there any angst plans for the penny verse/ CYM? 👀

Shit ton of angst coming CYM’s way (it’s been mentioned in passing in PV, so it’s not really a spoiler but Reader and Eddie are indeed not together at some point), and a couple lil angsty things for PV 👀

Requests may be closed but I’m still open to ideas….might even do a little blurby prompt session soon cause I’m burning out and I could use some motivation

Cym as superheroes/vigilantes (DC)?

@secretsandwriting - Nightwing. Takes care of everyone. Sweet, sweet darling. I'm also extremely in love with them.

@white-roses-and-the-stars - Spiderman. A little goofy but sweet and smart and a down to earth ray of sunshine.

@tadpole-san - Spoiler. Badass girl boss.

@hanbedumbaf - Red Robin. I love you my dear because you're so cute and goofy and you're also a bit of a mess and that's what makes you even cuter.

@tchatso - Iron Fist. Just a calm pure breeze that makes me feel safe and that I love so so very dearly.

@capricorn-stark - Wonder Woman. She's hot. No, I will not elaborate.

#thanks for the ask! #lol i only realized that these aren't all DC #oh well #cym

Weird running theme in The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe:

The Narrator going into detail about Jim (who was an employee even in the 2013 remaster, referenced on one of the whiteboards in the meeting room) being a member of a cult

In The Stanley Parable, canonically there is a planet, similar to Earth, populated entirely by birds.

This is from the Silly Birds ending, corner of the massive screen.

Also sorta related but in the DOTA 2 Announcer pack The Narrator mentions eating shrimp daily, so there is no evidence against the idea that The Narrator’s just a flamingo with the ability to speak like a human.

Broke: If they were to meet, Monika and The Narrator would have an intense rivalry

Woke: The Narrator sees that these fucking kids with fucking hormones are dealing with the same existential crisis (being stuck in a video game and never ending loop) that he (a grown adult, assumedly) can barely deal with and decides then and there “I’m not letting them deal with this bullshit alone” and henceforth just fucking adopts all of them

He’s positively delighted when he realises they’re all into literature (thank goodness they’ve got an outlet for their feelings) and that he’s got a middle ground with them.

steven universe half-gem self insert 2

Rothena! I started calling her that to differentiate her from su athena, but it ended up sticking so that's her name now! She was originally gonna be a half gem like steven & mae, but i changed it so she was born to a human father and a human mother. The origin of this was inspired by a fic i read where(spoilers for the fic, written just-post-pink-diamond-reveal) "connie thought she was pink diamond bc when she was younger, she got really ill & her parents tried an experimental treatment made of pink diamond's fake shards ground up & put in her blood or something, and so she had some gem abilities/endurances. and she told steven she was pink diamond the same time steven told her abt rose being pink diamond which was a rly fun read tbh BUT i'm going with this being half-rose-quarz-athena's origin story. She got rly fucking sick & her parents were desperate so they were like 'sure we'll augment her with this rose quartz gem, we want her to live' and now she's a half gem." Rothena's powers take more concentration to use when she's calm than they do when she's nervous or in a state of adrenaline, and they'll probably cap at some point instead of growing and expanding like steven's or pink diamond's or mae's, althought she may find more creative ways to use what she's got, like steven in s1.

She has healing powers (not healing tears, nor spit, just kind of will-power-focus-towards-the-body-part-closest-to-the-wound) slower than the medigun, but definitely faster than the wound healing on its own. She can sacrifice some of her energy to speed up the healing as well. She cannot summon her own weapon, but can summon objects from her gem and has way more storage than a quartz has, but still less than a pearl--i'd say about one 7/11 or two storage wars sized storage units' worth! She also has that sword, custom made by Bismuth, that she uses as her main weapon. I'm also considering giving her a shield that she used pre-bismuth & pre-wedding/cym/connie's sword breaking.

Since she hasn't had her gem since before birth, Rothena is more of a fusion. Her halves can separate without any negative effects to either of them besides momentary weakness to the human component and aching loneliness(which worsens the more they are separated & away from each other) to both of them. She named her human half "Thena" and her gem half "Rosa"(pronounced with a soft 'S'). Creative, i know. Also for each half-gem i try to give them a non-human physical attribute--for mae it's her unnaturally purpley blue eyes, for steven i color his hair pink-tinted, and for rothena her skin is tinted pink (but her human half's skin tone is identical to su athena's).

Why The Diamonds Were Redeemed

I know this has been a very controversial topic within and outside of the fandom, but please bear with me. As someone who has lived with an abusive parent all my life, I can see why the show went the way it did with the diamonds. 

When you witness and/or are the subject of abuse, the one thing you want more than anything else in the world is it to stop. Whether that happens because the abuser goes to jail, dies, or you kill them with your bare hands, you want it to stop. 

Unfortunately, for many victims and survivors, none of those things are even an option. Not everyone wants to see their abusers dead, and even if they do, the repercussions would far outweigh any benefits.

Like, if I beat my dad to death with the fire poker next to the wood stove, I would definitely get arrested and go to jail. That, and I really don’t want ending someone else's life to be on my conscious. And besides that fact, my dad is by no means weak, and he could very well fight me off if it came down to it.

Steven is in a very similar position with the diamonds. If he was successful in killing even one of them, he’d have several galaxies worth of gems coming after him and his family.

By Change Your Mind they only have six gems and two humans, not including Steven. That is hardly a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of gems the diamonds have in their ranks.

Not that destroying the diamonds would be an easy feat in itself. Yellow was able to take out all the crystal gems in less than thirty seconds alone, and all it would take from the rest of them is a quick slap on the head from any of the diamonds’ massive hands.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p9K7x0xHfI

We’ve also established that Steven doesn’t want anyone’s deaths on his conscience either. He feels guilty for poofing Bismuth, even though she tried to kill him.

He feels guilty for throwing Eyeball into space even though she tried to do the same thing. 

And he even has a panic attack when they were trying to get rid of the cluster, which would destroy the entire planet if they didn’t do anything about it.

Every one of these things were traumatic for him, and causing permanent damage to any of these gems would have caused his mental health to be far worse than it is. 

Steven is only fourteen when Change Your Mind happens, and personally, I don’t think violating one’s own morals like that is very good for a growing mind. 

Aside from Steven’s wellbeing, he also has to take into account his family’s wellbeing too. If the threat the diamonds pose isn’t dealt with, then them, and the whole planet could be destroyed. 

Obviously, Steven doesn’t want that, and I doubt anyone who likes the show would want that either. The fact of the matter is, they do not have the resources to fight the diamonds, or to face the backlash that may come with shattering the diamonds either.

So that leaves Steven with one option, negotiation.

Throughout the series, Steven essentially becomes an ambassador to the crystal gems, humans, and homeward gems. It’s demonstrated with how he gets the CGs to stop fighting, how he introduces them to human culture, how he solves conflicts between Peridot, Lapis, Bismuth, and so many others.

It something he has ample amount of experience with, so; by default, it is his greatest skill, and his greatest tool for solving conflict. Really, it wouldn’t make sense for his character to turn on all those things he’s worked to achieve, his own morals, or the people he loves.

That’s just not who he is.

And let me make this clear, Steven isn’t all buddy-buddy with the diamonds now. He tolerates them for the sake of making sure they learn how to not hurt people anymore. 

In the movie, he is visibly uncomfortable with them asking him to stay and spend time with him.

That is not the face or body language of someone happy to be with his former abusers. Not by a long shot.

I can certainly sympathize with him here. If my dad suddenly turned around his behavior, I wouldn’t forgive and forget what he did either. If he actually listened to my pleas to stop, I would be happy it was over, but that wouldn’t mean I’d like him again. 

My dad’s a different story, though. He didn’t care that he was hurting me, my mom, or my sisters. He thought he was in the right and that all of us were overreacting. He convinced himself that the only way to be heard was to scream it at the top of his lungs, repeating his point over and over, with insults and personal attacks added in for emphasis.

No matter how many times I’d come to his door, begging him to stop, he’d always lie and say he would, but as soon as I agreed to go back to bed, he’d start up again, sometimes even blaming my mom for turning me against him.

I know getting him arrested is just a pipe dream, and so is hoping he’ll die and leave us in peace. So, all I really can do now is tolerate him until I’m able to move out, then cut contact.

Steven doesn’t have that option. Not with the diamonds threatening his home. And, I have to admit there's something cathartic about having your abuser listen  when you say that they’re hurting you. It’s not a perfect solution by any means, and it’s not what the diamonds deserve.

But, it is what Steven deserves. He deserves to be done with their attacks, and the looming threat over him, his home, and everyone he loves. Convincing the diamonds to stop was the best outcome he could have hoped for, and as a bonus, the entire gem empire benefits from peace too. 

If there’s anything Steven cares about, it’s helping others. That’s something he’s stood for from the very beginning.

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Oh god, after reading that ask about whether Steven's form could dissipate, my mind flashed back to what happened with Steven this week in canon and now my mind won't stop making me think about what would happen if White!Steven's gem was pulled out and exactly what that would do to him given the kind of space it occupies. Do you have any eyebleach you would recommend to help get rid of these thoughts?

This is the Cool White Pearl of Protection. She will make sure no one pulls out Steven’s brain gem

But actually - very unlikely to happen, given that the perpetrator is currently uuuuh.... unable to come to the phone. Or do anything much, for that matter.

After the dust settled, and the corrupted gems were all recovered, there was still much work to do to help the Earth recover from gemkind influence. Sapphire found herself eerily calm, though hid a thick ball of anxiety just under the surface due to being in the presence of their ultimate creator.
