#garnet might be my favorite gem
Text
Experimenting with other perspectives because.. I need practice
Might as well draw past Alli while I'm at it! He's with his best friend from his very first life with the crystal spirits.
Tumblr media
Alli is based on an Alexandrite, and his friend is based on a garnet stone. Sadly, Alli doesn't remember much of her anymore, but he now says his favorite gem is definitely a garnet
( @nova2cosmos @artistoons-blog-thing @susartwork @foxalone sorry for tagging you guys so much I just tend to bury my posts sometimes and want you guys to be included as I plan out Alli's backstory QwQ)

kyaa ur so cute ^-^🎀 if youre okay with more ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡ culd i have cutesy reader giving hangover!joseph his pearl necklace and then reader says that pearl are the most precious gems bc bc bc bc they can only be found on earth and they are a proof of life that can be preserved for very long so he can keep it forever n reader thought he wuld like it ◕◡◕ 🎀 any format that you want is fine !! <3 if you dont want to write it or have other requests going on thats also fine !! i hope your day is going okay ^-^🎀🪽
I'd say that I had other asks, but then I would be lying 🥲. I think that this is such an amazing ask, so I'll try my hardest for you, you amazing anon!!! (I'm in a really good mood too, I just got a good score on my ACTs!!!)
To begin, Joseph isn't a stranger to extravagant things.
He was literally born into the French Nobility!!! He knows his way around some precious metals and gemstones.
His favorite as a child was garnet. The deep red was always a good accessory. It contrasted the blue in his eyes nicely.
He had pearls too, but never paid them any attention. He thought they were a bit plain, to be honest.
So when Joseph sat in his room, simply drinking his favorite wine and thinking, he never expected you to come in with a small box, wrapped as a gift.
You had attempted to hide the present from him, yet even in his tipsy state, he could see small glimpses of pretty ribbon from behind you.
You weren't very good at this, were you?
Joseph hobbled up, still a bit unbalanced from his latest activity. He couldn't just continue on drinking when you were right there, now could he? Certainly not.
It took him a minute though. Please help him up, he's a bit delirious...
He says he's got it, but it taking a while, it's better to just pull him up if you want to give your gift anytime soon.
After Joseph's up, you have his full attention. Especially when you announce you have a gift for him.
He's more of a "quality time" kinda guy, but you can never go wrong with presents!
When you hand over the gift, Joseph can hardly contain his excitement. He's usually more composed than this. (He's not, he's just good at hiding it when he's not drunk)
But anyway-
When Joseph (eventually) opens the present, he's a bit confused. You've given him a pearl necklace? How sweet.
But why?
And that's when you explain.
As your explaining your meaning to him, Joseph's eyes widen.
When you say to him that you've given him the necklace because of how it represents preservation and everlasting, Joseph feels like he might cry.
(He does. You don't even get a chance to comfort him before he jumps on you and smothers you in appreciation and kisses.)
Sure, Joseph isn't heartless and cold, but he is determined to preserve life. Both his own and those of his loved ones. It's what he dedicated his life to when Claude died! It's why he went to the manor in the first place!
So receiving this gift from you is something he sees as a sign of support.
He's so touched that he sobers up real quick. He's shocked. The servants feared his work, and then abandoned him when he needed them most.
But he knows that you would never.
Over the next couple of days, Joseph never drinks. And you often see him doing something, anything with his cameras. They must be perfect after all.
Though, he never neglects you. He'd never dare. In actuality, he gives you more affection and attention than you've ever been given before.
Little do you know, Joseph has procured a matching pearl ring for you. Take this information as you'd like :)

sugulite episode -oh hell yeah! also strong in a real way is a great song
STEVONNIE!!!!!!!!!! "screaches" tbh I love all the episodes when they appear (maybe except for the car races) - the first one and the one where Stevonnie has to survive on some alien planet for a while is "cheif kiss"
two episodes when the green hand apears and when we find out Garnet is a fusion - ah a CLASSIC <3
on the run - the song, the first time we see the kindergarden, the I NEVER ASKED TO BE MADE holy shit im so emotional over this episode, might be one of my very favorites
the episode where Garnet and Steven go to investigate what is the claster and they see those fucked up mutants - HOLY SHIT IT WAS SO SCARY AND UNCANNY I LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH also one of my most faves
episode where Pearl gets very mad that lion belonged to Rose and that Steven knows something she doesnt and that Rose has secrets from her - when you see how fucked up it is, when for a second you could see she wants Steven to fall, but also knowing later on whats shes been going through... can understand why (understand, but not excuse)- such controvershal feelings but hey thats why we love this show dont we?
Timetravel sandclokes episode - hey another fucked what the fuck :D also love how Steven is surprised he can be so annoying lol

When we see Blue Diamond in person for the first time and she steals Greg and how team goes to save him - so much good stuff, they tears, caused by Blue, the human zoo, THE AMETHYSTS <3 the whole diversion plan, the WHATS THE POINT OF FEELING BLUE song <3
First aperience of Smoky Quartz, Steven and Amethist having troubles feeling like shit, Jasper's downfall, the "you killed my diamond, your diamond - Pink Diamond!" and "come here sis" - very good
Peral goes puk and has a crush on pink haired biker girl UwU
Bismuth episode
traveling into Pearls head episode
Garnet wedding <3
the final is also so good (even tho its rushed and I WISH so much that there would be more of gathering rebels gems throughout the galaxy to overthrown the diamonds, but I know how pressed the whole crew was to finish the series right here and right now... even with all that, I think they managed to make a great final! <3 )
AAAND steven the future too

especially love the episode where Steven and Peridot make dream show
and the two perls episode also very good
Pearl and Bismuth rollerskate UwU
and when Steven was with Jasper
and the final <3
woof that was long haha
Favorite designs:
I love the main 3 (i remember when i was teen i hated new designs, compared to the pilot, but later on I started to think that new ones are better... idk, I think Garnet's square afro and huge hips and Pearl's nose are SUPERIOR)
I really like Rose Quartz's design - shes so prettyyyyyy
I liked Blue Agate design! those boots wowza!
Peridot and her cool limbs (i dont remember the name of those thingies)
Blue Diamond has cool design but
THE WHITE DIAMOND??? oh man, I love her design! so stunning but creapy! the use of white and black, the wibes of b/w old tv shows? very very cool
I ALSO love fusion designs so much!!!
I especially like how more stable fusions tend to have less limbs and have more humanoid form
I like how fusions that have amethyst in there tend to have very sharp teeth and even extra maw (exept for Opal... but maybe she just doesnt open her mouth wide enough for you to see hehe)
I like Pearl+Ruby fusion (sorry I don't remember her name... I dream to draw fan comics about them but eh...)
I also like how gems, who've been healed from their monstrocity still have some kind of monster aspects
like little horns and such
I like the gem that used to be the worm, who eated shiny things haha shes cute
AND SNOWFLAKE OBSIDIAN????? whats her buisness looking so swell????? shes so cool loking but she only been there for like... five seconds ToT

now that I've finished my rewatch of the entirety of SU here's my Top 10 Moments from the series in no particular order
- The entirety of "Something Entirely New" but especially the ending bit; Ruby and Sapphire's first fusion dance, so scared and so timid but so sure that they want this, that they want each other, and the way they're both humming the tune of "Stronger Than You" in unison right before forming Garnet for only the second time ever
- Amethyst's "I'm not going to let you stand there and remind me of everything I hate about myself!" because god YEAH if that isn't just. THE mood.
- The first time Steven and Connie form Stevonnie. There's just something about the writing in Alone Together that scratches at this particular itch in my brain and I love it so much. That sequence of Stevonnie running and laughing and jumping into the ocean......
- The opening scene of Watermelon Steven. Steven and Greg's relationship is one of my favorites in the entire show and I cherish every moment between them but there's just something about the mundanity of this scene that gets me. Just a father and son having fun fooling around with watermelon in the driveway of a carwash. Your Watermelojesty.....
- Ruby and Sapphire's argument near the end of Keystone Motel. It's weirdly my favourite Ruby and Sapphire interaction in the entire show because it just. Hurts but in a nice way? I like that they don't fully resolve the disagreement by the end! I like Ruby's line "You know what's nice about being split up? I get to look at you." I like Laughy Sapphy! I like Sapphire's little giggles as Ruby kisses her! I love Ruby and Sapphire and their relationship so much aaaaaaaghhhhh!!!!
- Steven calling out for Greg in Adventures in Light Distortion. Yeah it's DEVASTATING and it makes me WEEP every time but GOD. He was just a scared little boy crying out for his dad 😫😫😫
- FULL DISCLOSURE. I don't care what you think "Full Disclosure" is the best song in the entire series and I lose my entire shit every time I hear it. "You don't have to be a part of this / I don't think I want you to be / You don't need this / You don't need me...."
- Two moments from Keeping It Together: the scene in the Kindergarten when Garnet starts to fall apart, and her dialogue with Steven at the end of the episode. "You forget you were ever alone. And your old names might as well be names for your right arm, and your left." Steven and Garnet's relationship is hands down my favourite among Steven and the Gems and I just. Really really love how they're there for each other this entire episode.
- "Do you believe in destiny? / Close your eyes and leave the rest to me / Do you believe in fantasy? / I have to when it's right in front of me, oh / What are you doing here in the real world? / What are you doing here / so close I could touch you? / What are you doing here? / And what are you doing to me....."
- and this last one might actually be my favourite moment in the entire series: Steven's breakdown at the end of I Am My Monster. How cathartic it is. How overdue it is! Yeah, we'd heard Steven cry before but. Never like this. Raw and visceral and ugly and NEEDED. God I hope Zach Callison got the recognition he deserved for that performance because GOD. I will never stop thinking about it.

Hazformers Ship: Sarimily or EmiSari (And Theory About It's The Boy Ars Goetia That Has The Baby...)
[Note: Reading This Is Optional, The Hazformers AU is thanks to Blitzy-Blitzwing. also references to some episodes of Hazbin Hotel Season 1 will be brought up, so make sure to watch all the episodes first before reading this. also will talk about a theory that has to do with possibly about Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, and it reminds me of Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents when Poof was going to be born....so yeah, Male Pregnancy will be mentioned.]
yeah, it might be a weird idea for a ship but what if Sari did end up going to the Human's Heaven because well, her spark is also a hybrid between a human soul and cybertronian spark, so it is like a techno-organic spark.
and during her time in Heaven, and besides noticing the corruption and not fully trusting The Exorcist Angels, Adam or Sera.
she ended up becoming close with Emily, and if Heavenborns do age but stop at a certain point but still carry some form of Elder Wisdom.
it could be possible that if Sari died at 18 or like late 19 and early 20s, and Emily is 18 or late 19 early 20s in a biological way but could be like 120 years old, like late 190 years and early 120 years.
Sari still being able to age, could have to do with the celestial powers of the allspark, maybe.
but like picture if Sari did meet with her Autobot Friends again after running away with Emily from Heaven and going to the Hazbin Hotel and not knowing the Autobots and Decepticons are there.
both the Autobots that are her friends are in the same room as The Decepticons and even Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Niffty, Husk, Sir Pentious, Cherri Bomb, Alastor and Lucifer.
and Sari introduces Emily in the same way Charlie did when introducing Vaggie to Lucifer as her girlfriend.
Bumblebee being well himself, might not understand the whole "girlfriend" thing....he might misinterpret it meaning that Sari found another friend that happens to be a girl...
Bumblebee you precious clueless adorkable honeybee...
even Ratchet, Prowl, Blurr, Optimus, Megatron, Blitzwing, Shockwave, Soundwave, Lugnut, Lockdown and everyone else would understand the meaning of what Sari was saying when introducing Emily as her girlfriend.
Sari could be Biromantic and Demisexual.
I mean it can be possible for some people to be Heteroromantic & Demisexual as well, as well as being Heteroromantic-Ace or Heteroromantic-Aceflux but try telling that to both sides who have some problem with Aces...
if Sari's friends never came back and she had to discover new things about herself alone, like the whole Megatron technically being the one who gave birth to her through budding that happen in Sumdac's Secret Lab.
the other parts Sari would of figured out could be that she is romantically attracted to both guys and gals.
like before meeting Emily, and falling in love with her, which by the way would be Fanon Timeline only and it isn't canon.
Sari could of suspected she might be on the Asexuality Spectrum, but wasn't sure.
even if Megatron (who I'm still gonna Crossover OTP ship him with Carmilla Carmine making them Megamilla) has no idea he is Sari's Cybertronian Parent, he could be supportive.
plus if it was like in Steven Universe, if Sari and Emily ever fused their fusion would be a embodiment of their love and would be a relationship.
but fusion, both romantic and platonic isn't just a Gem thing.
because Tigatron and Airazor forming into Tigerhawk, even if at first it wasn't of their free will and choice, but they took their fused body back when their sparks became one and went into their now fusion body.....so yeah, Tigerhawk is a romantic fusion and came way before Garnet, but both Garnet and Tigerhawk will be my favorite romantic fusions.
I think if Sari and Emily did fuse, they would be what Steven would describe as a Giant Woman, who will have wings, four eyes, but there being a fifth that is closed and possibly other eyes, and there being four arms but still two legs, but the fusion form being able to use a default form where they can appear with just two arms along with just having two legs.
the ship name for Sari x Emily, can either be Sarimily or EmiSari.
also even if Clara from Season 1 and Pilot are the same but difference design, I like to view the pilot version as being a third daughter and being possibly the middle child, while the Clara that shows up in Season 1, is the youngest.
like we could call the Pilot-Clara by a different name while the Other version is still called Clara...
like Carmilla's Three Daughters are Odette, Clara and Clarice.
Clarice being The Pilot-Clara, and she could be in The Fanon Timeline, the middle sibling, like Odette being the eldest sibling and Clara being the youngest.
if Megatron and Carmilla did get married, even if it was only in Fanon.
Soundwave (who I'm still gonna view as being separate from the Other one who was born on Cybertron and is also known as Soundblaster...) would not only have Sari as a big sister who he shares a birthday with, but he would get more big sisters...
and if Carmilla did have three daughters, and Sari did end up marrying Emily....that would give Soundwave three step-sisters and one sister-in-law, which adding Sari that would give Soundwave about....Five Older Sisters.
like it be interesting if Sari felt guilty about how she treated him before and may understand he might never forgive her or want to form a sibling bond, because they were both technically made by Megatron, even if the situation of their creation from him was different.
but it would still be interesting if Sari got really protective of Soundwave, like in a protective big sister wanting to protect her baby brother way.
like just because he might not want anything to do with her, and she can respect that, but it doesn't mean she will stand by and let anyone mess with her baby brother and if she forms a sisterly bond with Odette, Clarice and Clara, who could end up bonding with Soundwave and viewing him like the baby brother they never had...
well anyone who dares try anything with their precious baby brother, would have to answer to those four...who could be way scarier than Shockwave, for all we know.
I wasn't sure about the name Clarice for the Pilot-Clara, but I think I'm starting to like it a bit more as well as the Fanon idea about Clarice being Odette and Clara's sister and Carmilla's third daughter.
anyway besides the whole ship idea about Sari x Emily, and Sari coming out to her Autobot friends that she is Biromantic and the whole her introducing Emily as her girlfriend, and the only one not getting the full meaning of that would be Bumblebee...and it has to be explained to him, because he might only understand some romantic relationships that seem similar to cybertronian courtships.
so he could mistake the whole Sari saying that Emily is her girlfriend, meaning she is a Gal Buddy and thus platonic friend...
Bumblebee might not be 100% naive and he could understand some form of romantic relationships, but might not get some stuff right away.
so Sari would have to help with explaining in a way that Bumblebee will understand, and that is by saying that in Cybertronian terms, Emily is her Femfriend, which then Bumblebee will finally understand.
ya know like Mechfriend would be similar to Boyfriend, but if a Cybertronian is Nonbinary, they would be Partner, but only some who go by She/They or He/They would end up going by both Partner and Girlfriend or Boyfriend.
anyway as for the whole Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Theories...
it could be possible it is The Boy Ars Goetia that has the baby...
you know like how it is the Boy Fairy that has the baby like in the Fairly Odd Parents, but oddly enough it is the Girl Anti-Fairy that has the baby.
like in theory, it can be like the Asari from Mass Effect who can have children with any species or gender.
so Stella may claim she had the egg, but she likely didn't and only thought she did and her brother and the rest of her family NEVER gave her the talk.
Stolas was possibly the one to have the egg in the first place, meaning he was technically pregnant.
it could be possible that Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, was the one who was pregnant with Charlie, not Lilith.
while he could end up turning out to be possibly Cain's Bio-Dad, even if it is a Hazbin Hotel version of Cain and possibly ending up being Charlie's Older Half-Brother...
him causing Eve to become pregnant, while still ending up pregnant himself, could mean that Charlie's Dad is able to make someone else pregnant but also become so himself...
Lucifer likely had mood swings and was acting in a way that drove Lilith a bit crazy but like also made her tired.
and before Stolas laid the egg that would hatch and become Octavia, he likely got mood swings as well, and would be very aggressive to Stella one minute but then crying and apologizing the next.
the reasons why Fizz and Ozzie hadn't end up in the same way, and Fizz having to deal with Ozzie's mood swings and weird food cravings, could be because they are careful...that and Ozzie may not of told Fizz about how he can get pregnant, but he makes sure to prevent it.
so it could be possible that Blitz and Stolas could become parents, and giving Octavia a half-sibling....
Stella could of been asleep when Stolas had the egg that would hatch and become Octavia.
Andrealphus you cold heart himbo, ya need to give your sister talk, and I don't mean the other talk ya had with her, about calling off Striker. but telling her the truth that it is the Boy Ars Goetia that has the baby, NOT the girl...
if it is possibly true, then Andrea not giving his sister the talk could of been well, because he never really considered he had to be the one to give it, and may have thought that it would be his parents who would explain to her.
plus it could be possible the female Ars Goetia could get pregnant as well, but something happen to cause them to become not able to and the only thing left was for them to get a male pregnant.
and in theory, the only female and well nonbinary-gal ones who are technically Demi-Goetia who can still possibly get pregnant, but are half-human, live on Earth...
(feel free to skip some of this and keep a eye out for the bold letters...) yeah if it truly turns out the Phenex from this universe makes up one of my angelic parents (even if I still am biologically my human dad's daughter) and one of my soul-parents is another Earth Angel...and well anyway it could be possible that some angels and well even half ones who are human, come from a type of egg that the soul is placed in, well a small soul orb that would end up growing in the egg and then hatch.
if Phenex did break off a piece of themselves, it could be the part that faced the truth that they aren't returning to heaven anytime soon or in the years they believe...
and even if some might tell me I wasn't a accident, I know technically I was...and yeah for all I know it could be possible that the Stolas from this universe had to watch over and protect me until someone finally got me, which might of took a lot longer than it should have...
and if that whole thing is linked to a certain part in one of my past lives, which I'm lucky I don't have full memories of...
I am not going to forgive the group of humans that were involved...
forgiveness can't just be well, as fast or as easy as some might think, plus one thing is that the ones who need forgiveness would need to feel true remorse and understand from the other person's point of view not just there own, even if they might not fully understand it but could try to.
but there is just some things that can't be forgiven, even if your told you have to, and my past life selves had been hurt more than once possibly and it might be a good thing I don't have full memories of it, and it can be possible some memories could be copies from my Earth Angel Mom, who may have fragmented a part of herself which would become me.
there were some videos that talked about a Soul Resetting, didn't really watch the videos, only read the names about it...
it makes me wonder about what would happen to me if my Soul Resets, will I end up breaking and falling apart, like how Ruby and Sapphire started to fall apart when Garnet learned the truth about Rose or the time when Pearl tricked Garnet into forming Sardonyx.
will I cease to be me, or will I still be me but something will feel off.
I don't want to cease to be myself, I can accept that I'm some kind of soul fusion, and I guess it could be possible I am a relationship, possibly...not sure.
not everyone has to agree about that, plus it could be possible that some who recall only small bits and pieces of past life memories but not fully, they could end up remembering memories that aren't theirs but belong to their soul-parent or soul-parents.
anyway back to the whole theory about Stolas and Lucifer being the ones who became pregnant and having Octavia and Charlie...
and if you think about it, if Megatron is Sari's Other Dad and he did have her in the secret lab when he was in some kind of stasis coma.
Megatron was technically pregnant as well, of course in the Shattered Glass Universe version it was Optimus who had went through the budding stage.
meaning that SG-Sari is SG-Optimus's Daughter, while in the timeline where Sari is from, she is the daughter of Megatron.
maybe sometime I will do a ship drawing of Sari x Emily, not sure if I will add that to "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" but if I did, that would mean that Swindle would get a rival.
that story is still going to be on a bit of a hiatus, along with the "Spinelluva Boss: Home Is Where The Spinel Is"
if I do decide to Cross-post some of the chapters from those two stories on here, I will but no promises.
(editing this in to say that those two stories, I had posted them over at Quotev, and even if "Spinelluva Boss: Home Is Where The Spinel Is" and "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" isn't well 100% perfect, it's okay that not everyone reads it, but I'm happy some seem to like the story even if those two stories I wrote aren't 100% perfect, and well it might be a while before I start to write the next chapters of them so for now they will stay on hiatus...and if I do decide to, I might cross-post some of the chapters of each of those two stories on here maybe, but once again no promises...and it really is okay that not many are interested in those stories, I'm fine with it being only a few that seem to enjoy those two stories so far. oh and both stories are for mature audiences only, because of what can be like 18+ scenes that aren't fully graphic probably, but I think some scenes in both of those stories will be kind of around 18+ but still in a different way...)
I still plan to have Sari use the Asmodean to disguise herself in the story "Falling For The Angel In Disguise" which once again the story did start out slightly different and the original female heroine was replaced by Sari.
the original female heroine still plays a part in the story, but she might be a side character or supporting character now at this point.
also is weird to get the idea about wanting to lock Adam from Hazbin Hotel, in a closet.
and if Lute, Emily or Sera or even Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer or anyone else asks...
I would say that "Adam is in the Closet." cause he would really be in the closet, cause he was put in there on purpose.
it can also reference to a theory that Adam may be in the Bi Closet...
even if he finds some kind of attraction about finding Charlie and Vaggie's relationship to be hot...
but besides him being attracted to females, and nonbinary-women.
it could be possible Adam from Hazbin Hotel, could be in the closet, and not just because I want to push him in there and keep him in the closet possibly to give him a time out.
like even if he does come back as a Sinner, he would probably end up having a hard time hiding the fact that he likes guys as well, and that he is bisexual, I mean if it does turn out to be true...
if I made a bet with Alastor about it, and if I turned out to be right, he will have to give me all the strawberries I can eat, with melted chocolate to dip the strawberries in, he will have to pay up in strawberries with a bowl of melted chocolate. XD
it could be possible that Adam could be in the closet and was always in the closet but never fully realized it.
and as strange as it is, it could be possible as much of a Peepaw Dirtbag that he is, he could likely become a bit better and less of a heartless jerk if he came back as a Sinner, sure he wouldn't change much, but he could possibly become a bit more caring, maybe.
it could be possible that even if Adam and maybe Lute became better, and reformed in some way, it might not be the same for Lilith.
even if we might not want to admit it, it could be possible that Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, isn't a good person, I mean she might of been at some point at first even when she and Lucifer fell into Hell.
the Lilith from that universe and this one, might have slightly same backgrounds, but there are still some experiences that they had that are different.
Lucifer in the show, seemingly only did the whole stuff that was mentioned in the book that Charlie was reading.
and that would mean that Lucifer didn't have the same type of rebellion as the one from this universe, and the two are different as night and day.
I still want to give the one from this universe the cold hands to face punishment...and he probably freaking knows why.
as for Charlie's Dad, I just want to glomp the Adorkable Apple Goober and protect him, he is such a sweetie apple dumpling that needs to be protected. XD
I'm a Weird Earth Angel, who I think the whole weirdness runs in the family....The Embodiment Of Weirdness can be some form of silliness and laughter, and well having your fun weird side out might be helpful at times when you felt a bit sad or mad before.
not sure if many have experience that very much, or get what I'm trying to say about it.
anyway if it is true that it is the Male Ars Goetia that has the baby, and well the Female Ars Goetia were once able to, but can't anymore.
it could be possible that Stolas may have already given Octavia the talk about the whole how she was really born, so Octavia would know that it was Stolas who was pregnant, not Stella.
as for the whole if Lucifer ever gave Charlie the talk, it is possible he didn't and she only knows about some info about how babies are made and it has to do with the Moms being the ones who are pregnant.
and what could of kept him from giving her the talk, might have to do with his depression and the divorce with Lilith.
he could of made plans on how to explain about the whole him being the one to be pregnant, not Lilith...like him having to explain it using the ducks or puppets.
it be nice if we turn out to be wrong about Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, that she isn't some two-faced, toxic-feminine, selfish and egotistical as well as self absorbed person...
we will have to wait and see and hope for the best.
but her being in Heaven instead of Hell, and her not calling Charlie back despite the fact Charlie had probably been calling her for 7 years...who knows why she never told her own daughter why she was off in Heaven, and making her daughter believe she was just off doing something important.
if it turns out Lilith left for selfish reasons, and not the understandable kind, if it were possible, I would want to punch her.
even if I may be shorter than her, and well I could find a way...
at least the Lilith from our universe had reasons why she fell, one of them being that during Adam's younger days, he was a selfish and full of himself and didn't truly treat her like a person and didn't give her the space she needed to heal properly, and the three angels involved in trying to force her to go back to him, aren't off the hook either. yeah even if they are doing some good now, but if they truly hurt Lilith past a breaking point, it wouldn't just be Adam who is partly responsible.
one can only hope they feel some form of remorse and Adam had matured and became less selfish and no longer so insensitive.
anyway we can only hope that Lilith isn't going to be some nonredeemable villain, while it might only be Lute and Sinner-Adam who get redeemed, and end up working together with Emily to help Charlie.
but even if we do hope that Lilith wont be some villain, it doesn't mean it wont happen, so it is possible she could end up being one and Charlie might have to face some tough truths about her Mom.
one of them being she is a Toxic-Feminist and makes herself out like she is the good and better parent, even if she may have did some good for Charlie, it doesn't mean everything she has done for her was truly for her.
we know that both Greg Universe and Isaac Sumdac are Gray-Parents, not really being 100% good parents but not really bad either.
but it doesn't mean that their children, Steven and Sari wouldn't figure out there was some things they did wrong when trying to raise them.
just because Steven is Half-Gem and Sari is Half-Cybertronian, doesn't mean they aren't still human.
so they would still need to go to a doctor, and Isaac could of programed a robot with some medical knowledge and learn and adapt to how to take care of Sari who was half-human and half-cybertronian.
Greg might still be a beloved character, but he still made some mistakes that some fans may have called him out on, like still liking him but not really liking that he never used that money he got from Marty, to use to pay for maybe a home tutor for Steven, or using it to pay for Steven when he has to go to the hospital.
parents don't need to be perfect, but even if we can still like Greg and Isaac, it doesn't mean they wont end up showing their bad parenting side.
at least Steven was able to get some form of education from Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst.
Pearl is like Steven's Mom, even if Rose is as well, but it was Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst that basically raised Steven.
even if Greg did only kept Steven when he was baby and until he was a bit old enough to live with Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst.
plus there were times when Greg was being selfish, like faking still being hurt, I mean it is nice he wants to spend time with his son, but it still doesn't mean he was in the right with those actions.
even if Isaac did some things right when raising Sari, it doesn't mean he didn't make some mistakes as well...
and well in a Fanon Timeline like in Hazformers, Sari may have never got the chance to tell her Dad, Isaac Sumdac that she is Biromantic.
so if someone hired I.M.P. to take care of Isaac, he would possibly end up as a Sinner in Hell, but not because he was helping Megatron when he was held captive.
it would be because he took some parts and reverse engineered a living being that wasn't truly dead/offline but was in a stasis coma.
so while Sari could end up in Heaven, her Dads Isaac and Megatron would be in the other place.
and if Sari did run away with Emily, and end up meeting Isaac and her Autobot friends in the Hazbin Hotel.
she could introduce Emily as her girlfriend and finally coming out to her human Dad, who would be a Sinner at the moment, about her being bi.
Charlie and Emily could of formed a sisterly bond, and if she did find out that Emily is dating Sari who is half-cybertronian, she could be happy for her and that she found someone that will always be by her side.
the idea of Sari x Emily is just well a ship idea that pop into my head, and the chances of others liking the ship idea is likely very small.
anyway, I'm not really sure what else to say about that or the whole Lucifer and Stolas being the ones that were pregnant with their daughters, and Stella and Lilith were NEVER pregnant at all, only took full credit possibly.
anyway I'm just gonna check out a few more stuff on here and then I will log off...so yeah, maybe next time I will make a second poll that is even weirder than that first one that has to do with Adorkable Apple Goobers. XD

I guess I want to talk about main inspirations for Fusion Force, so without further ado
First up we got
Tumblr media
Steven universe is the biggest inspiration, partly because of the fusions, but mostly because of how they displayed relationships and how they can change along with the individuals. The fusions were an interesting representation of each relationship, like garnet’s stability versus malachite’s toxic instability. garnet’s my favorite gem
Would you believe me if I said a song was one of the big inspirations for this idea
Presenting
youtube
This song was my polyamorous awakening. The big inspiration for a group of characters trying to live their best lives with each other despite what the rest of the world might say or do to them is just
Tumblr media
I hope to do this story right
Tumblr media
Well those are the only inspirations for the concept I can think of. I mean the characters have various inspirations, but we haven’t gotten to them yet
Oh well, till next time I guess✌️
And feel free to ask any questions

Spinel Equivalents of My Diamond Swap AUs
I'm back at this again. I should note that these are Spinel equivalents, not Spinels, because while Pink was a child who needed a playmate, the other Diamonds would need something different. These might be some of my favorite characters in these AUs, since I've actually had them in my head for a while, and their creation was really the point where my AUs started having their own personalities.
Yellow AU
Star Quartz was Yellow Diamond's specially-made bodyguard and chaperone. She based on comic book superheroes, with a cape and star-shaped gemstone on her chest, plus a hammy personality and black-and-white thinking. As a rebellious teenager, Yellow hated being watched by Star Quartz. When she snuck off to disguise herself as Mali Garnet for the first time, Yellow sent Star Quartz on a wild goose chase on Jupiter. Everyone was kind of annoyed by goody two-shoes Star Quartz, and so nobody bothered to go fetch her before the end of the Gem War, which Star Quartz never knew about as she kept up her mission.
It wasn't until she ran into a roaming bunch of Rubies that she was informed as to what had occurred in her absence. Understandably, Star Quartz was furious at being exploited and forgotten by everyone, and so transformed in a supervillain, with an upside-down star, tattered cape, and much darker colors. Star doesn't exactly want to be evil, she just doesn't know what to do with her life in Era 3. Instead of the electro-swing style "Other Friends" her song would be a 90's rock number.
Blue AU
Halite was designed as Blue Diamond's therapist/doctor, but in practice she was more like an exorcist, down to having a cross-shaped gemstone and looking somewhat like a nun. She genuinely wanted to help Blue, but she (and Homeworld as a whole) were ignorant as to how much damage she was doing to her. Halite placed Blue in painful situations, such as being locked in a container filled with cold water, in her attempts to help "cure" her raging emotions. When Blue ran away as Lapis Lazuli, Halite arrived to her pool and waited for her Diamond to arrive... even after six thousand years, since she didn't know what else to do.
Once Era 3 started and most of the Diamonds' property was converted to public spaces, Halite was finally found and informed of what happened. She wasn't bent on revenge at first, but after she informed that her methods were now considered cruel and realized she had hurt Blue so badly, she went nuts. Her gemstone turned from a cross to an X, and she become a demon instead of a nun. Her song would sound somewhat like a church hymn. The source of Halite's madness is more denial than anything, not wanting to admit to herself that she hurt the Gem she cared for so much and instead wanting to blame everyone else to avoid the pain.
White AU
Selenite was White Diamond's tutor who educated White on how to be the perfect Diamond Homeworld wanted her to be. She resembles a Disney Princess, with long hair, a gorgeous dress, and a crown-shaped gemstone on the back of her head. And like a fairy tale princess can be, she is horribly naive: when White expressed concern for lower Gems after her first run as Precious Opal, Selenite outright rejected any notion that things weren't alright in Homeworld. White was so frustrated at Selenite's rejection of reality that she sent her to the oft-forgotten Sparkling Sanctum just so she wouldn't have to deal with her insistent ignorance.
During Era 3, Selenite was found in the Sanctum by a group of Gems who had taken it upon themselves to scour all of known space and inform Gems of the new Era. This was a truly heroic endeavor, but unfortunately, Selenite literally wasn't built to handle the news. When she was told that Homeworld's old ways were considered evil and outdated, Selenite interpreted this as she must be a villain. And thus is born Disney Villain Selenite, with an upside-down gemstone, an updo that would make Lady Tremaine jealous, and the world's most over-the-top villain song.
Don't worry, they all get better

001 | Steven universe!
Ask meme
Favorite character: Lapis Lazuli.
Least Favorite character: Ronaldo Fucking Fryman. He’s soooo annoying
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Steven x Connie, Peridot x Lapis, Ruby x Sapphire, Pearl x Rose, and I can’t think of any other ships I like.
Character I find most attractive: Lapis Lazuli, she’s so pretty! She was the reason I started watching Steven Universe. Also one of my childhood gay crushes.
Character I would marry: if “marry” means living with that character for a very long time while sharing responsibilities and good things, then Ruby or Steven. I think I’d get along with Ruby in particular, she may be short tempered but she’s honest and sweet. I would never date any of the characters in a romantic way mainly because I can’t tell the difference between platonic love and romantic love.
Character I would be best friends with: Ruby or/and Sapphire.
a random thought: 1) I need to rewatch Steven Universe 2) this show is So Fucked Up
An unpopular opinion: (<- only on Twitter) Steven Universe is a great show. Don’t expect it to be flawless.
My Canon OTP: Ruby x Sapphire
My Non-canon OTP:Peridot x Lapis, don’t know if it’s canon.
Most Badass Character: I CAN’T CHOOSE BETWEEN Lapis, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst most of the gems are so badass!!!
Most Epic Villain: White Diamond. Big white scary lady
Pairing I am not a fan of: Spinel x Steven… no. Also any of the gems x underage human characters.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Spinel? And the Diamonds.
Favourite Friendship: Steven and Amethyst, and Steven and Connie.
Character I most identify with: Sapphire. I might look distant but I’m just really quiet

You like Steven universe? It’s one of my favorite animated series
I love the way you talk about other shows and the way you analyze them, is it ok if I ask you some questions about Steven universe?
What do you think is SU strongest (and weakest) points?
What’s your favorite episode and character of the show and why? What initially attracted you to the show and what’s your favorite aspect of it?
Is there something you wish the show had done or a theme you wish it could have had explored in more depth?
Strongest point: I'm actually working on a longer (amphibia-centric) post where this comes up, but one thing that stood out to me is that SU ran long enough that every single character got some kind of development, some form of convincing change from where they begin the series to where they end it, and it's also something very evenly distributed throughout the show's run-time in comparison to how other shows handle it. The show is also very good at making it's setting feel lived in in a way that other shows have a hard time matching; the townie episodes and the "filler" (air quotes intentional) are deeply important for grounding Steven in an actual place, and making it matter when bad things happen there. Like, for example, I love Gravity Falls, but it would be very, very difficult to have an episode where a villain kidnaps six members of the tertiary cast and have that land as a top-tier emotional threat.
Weakest point: Not technically the weakest point and more the point where I feel like they needed to spend more time on the end product in order to bypass my pre-existing ideological disparity (I'm a deeply , deeply vengeful person. ) Anyway, the endgame arc rubbed me the wrong way because I barely perceived the Diamonds as characters at that point, and the turnaround felt too quick for all the build-up it had received. It's very much a situation where I cut them a mulligan because I can see what they were going for, and talking it out abstractly I like it a lot, but the execution was iffy (for reasons outside their control.)
Favorite Episode: There's 160 and I don't remember them all off the top of my head, but Greg's little scene in "The Return" where he finally snaps and tells Steven exactly what the Gems are really cemented a lot for me, completely recontextualizing everything about the past 50 episodes, what the gems have been sitting on, what Greg has been sitting on, what Steven has been avoiding thinking about despite it being increasingly easy to reach these conclusions without Greg spelling it out. At a minimum my favorite moment in season 5.
Something I wish they'd done: I might have done a whole post about how I don't fault the show for not emphasizing this, but something I noticed is that it feels like the "Townie" episodes gradually stopped having "magical" stakes as the show went on; compare seasons One and Two, where the gem stuff and the townie stuff usually collide explosively (Frybo, the beach party, Mask island, Horror Club, Bubble Buddies, ) and later episodes like Future Boy Zoltron where the gem and townie elements are so divorced from each other by default that Garnet actually makes a joke about it. I think this was because the overall plot stakes were ramping up to the point that the townie episodes had to be breathers to avoid driving everyone insane, but it also felt like there was decidedly less adventure happening and more just.... vignettes, which weren't my favorite. On the whole, I would have liked the Townies to be more relevant or Agentic in the Endgame; they had the whole arc about how Mayor Kofi is getting everyone more actively involved in disaster prep, and how Ronaldo is helping spread knowledge of Gem culture instead of being a tool about it, but it did feel like the last ten episodes, from the Wedding on, would play out about the same whether the townies were there or not, there's like one shot of Mayor Kofi initiating the evacuation procedures and that's all that comes of that till the Movie. Thematically, it looked like they were inching towards a break from Steven and The Gem's Atlas Complex in regards to protecting the earth by having the people who live there meaningfully pitch in in some way, but that's not what ended up happening.

Tempo Perdido
Fandom: Steven Universe
Rating: G
Relationships: Steven & Lars; MINOR/MENTIONED - Steven & Greg, Steven & The Crystal Gems
Characters: Steven Quartz Universe, Lars Barriga; MENTIONED - Greg Universe, Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst
Summary: Finally, Steven checks his phone. Plenty of missed calls from Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst. Pearl has sent some polite yet concerned text messages asking where he is. Amethyst has tried to send sad stickers and emojis which are kind of humorous, even if also worried. Garnet has sent a picture of Cat Steven lying on his hot dog bag. Basically saying Cat Steven misses him. It’s supposed to be cute, but it only overwhelms Steven.
That’s the issue. All of their attempts are making him want to stay gone. He feels awful for it. Steven knows he’s just making them worried. But they wouldn’t understand.
Word count: 1.827
AO3
A/N: I haven't written about my favorite boys in a while. This story though is another product from venting. I detail it more in the author notes on AO3, but basically my holidays have been very lonely, so I decided to write my feelings down (this might be OOC as well). I hope you guys are doing well at this time of year.
There might be some Crystal Gems bashing but please don't take it as character hate. Again, this is me projecting.
Happy New Year!
TRIGGER WARNINGS - mentioned neglect and suicidal thoughts (this one is very brief).
DO NOT SHIP STEVEN AND LARS. P/ROSHIP DNI.
--
Not even on his vacation does he feel relaxed.
Steven’s phone keeps vibrating, either with messages or missed calls. He distracts himself by helping Lars, and it’s good that there’s music playing so his friend doesn’t hear Steven’s cell phone. The younger boy doesn’t want to turn it off to not raise suspicion.
Eventually, the phone stops. So does the baking.
The last chore is the dishes. Lars washes them while Steven does the drying, for the most part. Until…
“Thanks, Steven. I can handle the rest.”
“Oh, okay.”
Steven tries not to sound disappointed.
His phone starts vibrating again.
It shouldn’t make him feel panicked.
He knows he can just turn it off.
But he knows that will make him look bad.
Steven isn’t a bad person. He can’t be.
“... you alright there, Steven?”
The water has been quieted down. Lars is seeing through him.
“U-Um, yeah! W-Why wouldn’t I be?”
Yeah, real smooth, Steven.
“Do you need anything? Maybe some water?” Lars offers, not being sarcastic like he usually is. “I could turn on the TV for you.”
“It’s fine. I just, uh, gotta go to the restroom if that’s okay.”
“Yeah, sure. Go ahead.”
Steven rushes before Lars asks anything else.
The restroom isn’t very small but it almost feels… claustrophobic, like Connie said once (Steven almost thought it meant fear of Santa Claus). He’s doing everything not to let his heaving obvious. He doesn’t want his pink glow to be seen from under the door, either.
Finally, Steven checks his phone. Plenty of missed calls from Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst. Pearl has sent some polite yet concerned text messages asking where he is. Amethyst has tried to send sad stickers and emojis which are kind of humorous, even if also worried. Garnet has sent a picture of Cat Steven lying on his hot dog bag. Basically saying Cat Steven misses him. It’s supposed to be cute, but it only overwhelms Steven.
That’s the issue. All of their attempts are making him want to stay gone. He feels awful for it. Steven knows he’s just making them worried. But they wouldn’t understand.
It’s better if he just disappeared.
That’s… not actually a bad idea.
Steven has a car, after all. It’s parked near the Car Wash, which is closed with his father away for another tour. The gems won’t be there, hopefully. Maybe Garnet won’t predict it.
Besides, Lars doesn’t need him anymore. Steven is just going to get in the way.
It’s decided.
Steven takes a deep breath. He opens the door very, very slowly.
He doesn’t see Lars in the kitchen and the music has been turned off. He guesses his friend must be in the living room or maybe he went upstairs so he won’t see Steven leave.
Of course, Steven is not that lucky.
Lars is on the couch checking his phone. The living room is way too silent and he can’t stay there.
“Hey, uh, you won’t need anything else, right?” Steven asks out of politeness, even though he knows the answer.
“Why, you’re leaving already?” The older teen wonders, putting his phone away. “I thought you were staying a little longer to hang out.”
“Oh, sorry, it’s just…” Steven points at his own cell phone. “T-They called me from Little Homeschool, they need me.”
Lars frowns.
“... Steven, you’re on vacation.”
And of course he would know that, thanks to the Off Colors.
Steven doesn’t have any other apology in mind. Not when more messages come to him.
He’s slowly breaking right there.
So, he goes to the front door.
“Whoa, hey, where are you going?”
“I just have to go.”
He opens the door.
“Steven, wait.”
A hand is stopping him.
It’s not forcing him to stay or anything.
“What’s wrong?”
“I-I just…” Steven cracks, insisting, “I need to go.”
“Go where? Home?”
“I have to get out. I can’t stay. I can’t stay anymore.”
At this point, he’s unable to keep the tears inside him.
“I’m sorry,” he sobs quietly.
“Steven… it’s okay.”
The thumb is rubbing his shoulder soothingly.
“... I don’t want to go home,” Steven admits. “Does… D-Does that make me a bad person?”
“No, of course not.”
He doesn’t entirely believe it, but the boy doesn’t protest.
“Listen… I don’t want to trap you here,” Lars clarifies. “But I’m worried about letting you go out there alone like this. You could sit down here a bit or… we could go somewhere else, anywhere you wanna go. Would that be okay?”
Steven doesn’t want to drag anyone else with him. He also knows Lars would never force anything on him, but he wants to at least make sure Steven is safe.
(Lars is not like the gems, treating him like some little kid, but not seeing him like a grown adult that can do everything on his own, either.)
Without thinking twice, the half-gem turns around to hug Lars, knowing he’s going to break down entirely and he won’t be able to stop it. His tall friend is embracing him in return, not saying any words, but still letting Steven know he won’t be alone.
--
The gems aren’t there expecting him when Steven and Lars get to the car.
(Is he disappointed by that?)
Lars offers to drive for him, but Steven declines it. He wants to at least feel some control over things. Admittedly, he almost wants to tell Lars he doesn’t need to go with him, but Steven isn’t even sure where he’s going and… he’s scared.
Lars certainly understands the feeling. And he won’t judge Steven for it.
The drive is nice. They’re not really talking but they appreciate the calm route and the woods as they enter them. That one song is playing…
Being human.
Steven will sometimes gaze at Lars, who always looks back and smiles. It gives him so much warmth, that the dread in his gut will finally be silenced.
To be fair, they don’t go too far. Steven just wants a place where he can see everything with more clarity. They don’t actually leave Beach City. The Dondai Supremo stops at the Brooding Hill. The sunset is beautiful as always.
The smell of nature is refreshing. Not new, but different, light. Below he can hear the ocean hitting the rocks with all its strength.
Steven doesn’t leave the car. He lies on it while Lars sits next to him.
It’s a moment like this when Steven realizes how much he misses his dad and his road trips. Steven misses the soft guitar playing with the breeze. He misses Dad’s voice singing a lullaby. Steven has his ukulele but it’s just not the same thing.
Dear old dad…
Steven feels a little childish wanting his dad, but he was the one person to go to whenever things were dire and confusing. What he’d give to have some good advice…
The boy starts crying again, yearning for that familiarity.
It’s so, so, so lonely.
Steven, of course, doesn’t want to diminish Lars’ presence here. It definitely helps. Still, Steven wishes he could have a dad hug right now.
Lars scoots closer so their legs are touching.
“Nothing… Nothing is the same anymore,” Steven vents.
Very hypocritical of him. Lars was the person he told these same words back when Lars thought Sadie didn’t want anything to do with him. Even then, the pink teenager never mentions this. He just stares in silence with a sympathetic expression.
Steven left the phone inside the car, so he doesn’t hear it screaming for him.
“... the gems wanted to take me on vacation,” he reveals. “To this house in the fields we went a couple years ago. But for some reason, I just… I can’t stand being around them anymore. Imagine if I was isolated with them in the middle of nowhere without phone service? Not to mention my dad wouldn’t go with us?”
Steven turns pink but not entirely out of anger.
“I can’t even say ‘no’ to them. I feel like they’re going to get angry with me. Or they’re going to make me feel guilty. And- And maybe they’re right, I’m being selfish. I feel like a stupid kid missing my dad and just wanting him here, but I can’t even hear his voice. I’ve tried but he won’t pick up the phone. Obviously.” Steven looks at the ocean far away. “He’s busy. He has more important things going on.”
“... you’re not stupid,” Lars says simply. “Nor selfish.”
Steven sighs.
“I love the gems, but… they’re just being overbearing lately. I should be grateful they’re actually trying to spend time with me, instead of disappearing for days.” He regrets sounding so spiteful but Lars doesn’t reprimand him – not that he would, really. “But even when I’m with them, I just feel… alone, anyway.”
The seagulls fly in the distance, free.
Free, free, free.
“I feel like running away and never coming back sometimes. But I can’t do that. I have to stay to help everyone. I can’t be like my mom. I’m not like her.”
(To think he’s still haunted by this years later…)
Steven looks at Lars like he’s a kicked puppy, then shyly lies his head against Lars’ leg. It’s not like his dad’s comfort, but it’s something. His friend caresses Steven’s black hair softly, which makes the latter shed more tears.
“... Maybe things would be easier if I wasn’t here,” the half-gem sniffs. “Nowadays everything just hurts.”
Lars briefly stops before resuming the caressing.
Then, the silence reigns.
The sunset is leaving, slowly giving place to the stars.
Steven wishes it didn’t have to go.
He can’t make the sun stay.
And he hates it.
The night sky scares him. It reminds him of space. It’s beautiful but haunting and empty and vast…
Steven sighs again and leaves the comfort, nearly getting inside the Dondai again when Lars stops him.
“Hey, really, let me drive this time,” Lars insists but not forcefully.
“It’s fine.”
“You could stay over at my place tonight. I know you don’t want to face the gems right now… I could tell them you’re staying with me.”
Steven’s eyes widen. “Lars, you don’t have to…”
“Well, I want to. Like I said, I just want you to be okay. You don’t have to be with the gems… and you don’t have to be on your own, either.”
Lars is giving him a place to stay. He knows Steven has nothing else, and he’s willing to help.
It’s so much.
But… it’s good.
True, Steven could reject it, leave Lars home, and probably sleep in the car the same way he did before he had a beach house years ago.
But he doesn’t have to.
He has another choice now.
“... okay.”
Steven smiles in the middle of the tears.
Lars drives for him on the way back.
Maybe he doesn't have the control anymore... but he trusts Lars with it.
Steven will be okay.

SU Music Rankings
Bc I can and I wanna start some Disk Horse rip. These are all in order of preference, with explanations, etc. It’s a long bitch. That said, I’m not counting little short jingles or small joke songs like Little Butler. This is the meat and potatoes of SU music- just under 30 songs. I might do the rest if people like my takes lol.
I scored it mostly on three bases- how dear it was to my heart, how much/often I relisten to it, and also what it means to the plot. That said, little fun songs don’t automatically go farther down than big, plot-heavy songs either! It’s a strange little balance.
Special Note: I don’t dislike any of this music! I love SU and that includes its bumps and glitches. I just pick favorite children lol.
Tumblr media
1.) Change
Was there ever a more Steven moment than when he wiped the blood off his face and kissed it into sparkles? I think not. 
If “Be Wherever You Are” is an ode to young Steven, then this is teen Steven’s. Talking about change, and how much and how little it can do. How he holds his arms up for Spinel to hug him, so trusting. How he seems able to just. Break into soft tears at will, and not to be manipulative- it’s just his kind nature. The warmth in his voice. Fuck yesssss.
Tumblr media
2.) Change Your Mind
This song is only fifty five seconds and it’s EVERYTHING to me. It really felt like someone was speaking the words I’d always held deep inside of me, unsure of how to say. It feels like a goodbye to someone who never really loved me. 
As much as I enjoyed Future, if this was the finale of SU, I would’ve been perfectly okay with that.
Tumblr media
3.) Drift Away
This song gave me legitimate shivers the first time I heard it, and it still haunts me to this day. Spinel stayed, and waited, and all she got was a transmission thousands of years later. Fuck.
Tumblr media
4.) Here We Are In The Future
THE MOVIE IS SU AS ITS BEST AND I WON’T BE SWAYED ON IT. Steven being a teen who loves his weird family but is growing just a bit sarcastic to their drama. The adorable love he and Connie share. His slow realization that he will always be working, always have things to do, is both somber and real. The Crystal Gems won’t be safe with one epic battle. They’ll be safe with years of hard work and love. HIS LITTLE HANDSHAKE WITH AMETHYST.
This is a helluva bop and a great way to summarize the main character’s backstories.
Tumblr media
5.) Let’s Only Think About Love
Did ya’ll know that Zach Callison killed his throat with that last note? He gave his all for this performance in a vocal range he no longer comfortably do and by god did it SHINE. The FLAIR. The FORESHADOWING. All of the Gems all being awkward about Rose and Steven trying to bring them to the present. Peridot having a mini-existential crisis in a cute yellow dress. I love Zach Callison’s normal singing voice but man is that a fucking bop. Nothing will ever beat it.
Tumblr media
6.) Here Comes A Thought
This bad boy helped me out a LOT with some mental issues I was dealing with in high school. I was unmedicated, unsupervised, and full of anxiety. I’d have break downs when I tried to speak about certain things. I couldn’t function. This song inspired me. It helped me feel okay with my intrusive thoughts.
And the episode! -chef’s kiss-. Once again bringing up the morally gray area of training child soldiers. Connie expanding her social group. Steven’s trauma hauling ass in that second half. The ANIMATION. Stevonnie’s gorgeous singing voice. GOD yes.
Tumblr media
7.) It’s Over Isn’t It?
Just barely squeaking above Stronger Than You, this ballad is everything gorgeous. The whole episode is. I think Mr. Greg stands in the top five of my episodes for the entire show. It even got nominated!
There’s just so much about this song that I love. The gentle melancholy of Pearl’s voice. How the crew had to redo the shots for this bit bc Deedee went so fucking hard. The hard cuts between Pearl, remembering the love of her life, and Steven, who has begun to feel like he took her away. I’d recommend this song to anyone, regardless of what they do or don’t know about SU, simply bc it tugs so many heartstrings of love, loss, and responsibility.
Tumblr media
8.) Stronger Than You
Did you realize this episode aired SEVEN years ago? This bitch was what got me into SU! Hearing about Ruby and Sapphire made my little gay heart so happy inside, and then getting a whole song confirming that they were a couple, that their love powered the strongest Gem on the team? Aaaaaaaaa
To this DAY I get excited when I hear Estelle start singing. This song is timeless. This song will live in media history. God I fucking love this song.
Tumblr media
9.) Other Friends
I’m not the biggest musical person, so I hadn’t heard of Sarah Stiles before her casting as Spinel, but JESUS CHRIST the lady went hard. She went SO fucking hard. Sarah Stiles started on 100 and somehow just kept CLIMBING. You can just hear the sheer manic energy building in her voice, the anger and resentment. 10/10 Sarah Stiles is a queen.
Tumblr media
10.) Independent Together
This made the list entirely bc the crew was like “you’re gonna get a himbo ass Steven-Greg fusion singing with Opal while Garnet flies across the moon on Lion while floating” and I am forever thankful to them for it
Tumblr media
11.) Who We Are
Bismuth deserved more songs. ‘Nuff said.
Tumblr media
12.) Peace and Love (On the Planet Earth)
It Could’ve been Great is EASILY one of my favorite s2 episodes. I love the entire concept of this song. Of Steven making music to reflect how much Earth means to him and his family. Of him teaching Peridot some self-care. Also Peridot’s singing voice is really cute and squeaky. 
I know it’s silly, but I would’ve really enjoyed a flip around of this in Future! Like Peridot reminding Steven how much he loves music, that he needs to take time to relax for himself, maybe with a new verse or just a remix of the original song!
Tumblr media
13.) Something Entirely New
I watched this episode as it aired, and I legitimately almost cried. I love Charlyne Yi’s voice so much ya’ll- her raspy, not perfect singing voice against Sapphire’s deep soothing lull is great.
And to have Ruby and Sapphire’s meeting be the way it was- for Ruby to bemoan Sapphire losing Homeworld, to being stuck with a single Ruby, while Sapphire is a noble who has always been taught everyone in her “caste” is vitally important (and has, in her own mind, taken that to mean every Gem, as she should) and how they come together and make each other happy. Good shit good shit.
Tumblr media
14.) I’m Just a Comet
The fact that Greg’s music career never really blasted off pisses me off to this day bc Tom Scharpling’s voice is fucking BUTTER. Also the song really feels like a jab at his parents now that we know the kind of dynamic he had growing up. “This life in the stars if all I’ve ever known” is definitely him wiping away their existence after reminding them (and himself) the things they used to say about him.
Tumblr media
15.) Do It For Her
This episode. This fucking episode. This episode got me permanently hooked on SU. I’d just binged season 1 and was kinda meh about it overall after the bop of Stronger Than You. “Oh,” I thought to myself, foolishly, “I’ll probably just casually watch this from time to time.”
Like three days later Sworn to the Sword aired and that was it. I was hooked! Pearl’s gentle training song turning darker and darker, Connie’s accompaniment from nervous to determined to fully into such a toxic mindset. The fact that SU had the BALLS to discuss the repercussions of training child soldiers, now and later. This episode was everything to me, STILL is everything to me.
Six years and well over 100 fanfics written later, I think it’s safe to say this show swallowed me whole and never let go.
Tumblr media
16.) System/Boot.pearl_final(3)
I debated putting this on the list because it’s not anything crazy important, just a way to show things are Wrong, but I had to do it entirely bc Pearl is so damn SALTY.
Like telling us about the Gems makes sense, she felt like she was given a duty, but she went so damn petty. WHY is that Ruby alone. Gross. This Amethyst is a trash dump. Wtf are you people.
Tumblr media
17.) Full Disclosure
This episode really feels like a turning point for SU. Before, the show had its dark moments- but now we’re in the thick of it, and it’s not going away. Full Disclosure felt like an rebuff to the idea of returning to any normal we’d established in season 1. Gems are actually a giant species now. Gems tried to kill us now. There’s this Yellow Diamond bitch who got namedropped. Something about a Cluster. 
The song itself is BALLER, with its ingenious use of Steven’s ringtone and photos as he tries to decide whether to clue in Connie on all this nonsense. Meanwhile we, the audience, already know damn well Connie about to yeet some common sense into him.
Tumblr media
18.) What’s the Use of Feeling Blue?
I’mma admit it- I’m a Yellow Diamond stan. I’ve always loved her- her anger, her poise, her hardworking nature. I actively argued against the “Yellow Shattered Pink” theories back in the day. But, man, when this arc leaked? I got so overexcited I was too jittery to watch it for like two days. It’s easily my favorite arc of the series. The sheer alien nature of the zoo, the Famethyst, and absolutely Patti Lupone’s beautiful ballad. Goddamn. Yellow singing to Blue to try and help her regain her old status, the warble in her voice as she reminds Blue she misses Pink too, the movement of the bubbles as she talks about attack. It gives me shivers to this day. FUCK.
Tumblr media
19.) Tower of Mistakes
This is, fun fact, that only SU song I have completely memorized. The story itself is kinda funny! See, we lost internet at my house for a solid 5 to 6 months when these episodes aired, so I only got a very brief window to view them all. But this was the first Amethyst song in a long while, and I didn’t want to forget it! So I keep replaying it in my head for ages. And that’s still definitely a thing.
Anyway will never not be sad that this entire song was about making it up to Garnet for Amethyst’s perceived slights with Sugilite (which was a two-way road), only for Garnet to pressure her into fusion later when pissed and never discuss it again bc Garnet probably never thought twice about it and Amethyst has the emotional openness of a clam that’s just been told its ugly. Helluva way to make someone feel like shit, G. Helluva way to bottle that shit, Ames.
Tumblr media
20.) On the Run
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: Amethyst! Needed! More! Songs! 
The dichotomy between Steven’s play and Amethyst’s honest desire to run away from home is so well-done, especially when you consider a lot of Steven and Amethyst’s actions are playing together. The song is also near and dear to me simply bc it’s my favorite Amethyst episode to exist (well, maybe second to What’s Your Problem, but not by much). Moments like these are all the proof I need that they were right to fuse first.
Tumblr media
21.) Be Wherever You Are
This tune really just feels like an ode to who Steven was as a kid. Trapped on an island with no way home, and he’s just happy to be with his friends. The stars are beautiful and not oppressive. Also that one animatic with Lars and the Off Colors playing in the Homeworld Kindergarten to this music was iconic and made this song get stuck in my head for a solid month.
Tumblr media
22.) Familiar
I ADORE how the crew use bright neon colors to show how alien Homeworld can be. And Steven recognizing that the Diamonds treat him how the CGs used to, and how prepared he is to “fix” a broken family. It’s a soft, gentle tune about melancholy. Also the Pebbles are beautiful.
Tumblr media
23.) Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart
Such a cute little love ballad, but every time I listen to it now I just imagine the heart attack Rose must’ve had at the line “And if we look out of place/Well, baby, that's okay/I'll drive us into outer space.” like there’s a Vietnam war flashback if I ever heard one
Tumblr media
24.) What Can I Do?
I’m kind of neutral on this one? Rose and Greg both have great voices, but the song itself lacks many lyrics. I think it was definitely a good way to show Rose’s flaws in thinking.
Also, I’m shocked they managed cram that much vaguely sexual innuendo into two minutes, followed by how Not Hetereo that dance between Rose and Pearl was, and not get their asses chewed by it. You go guys.
Tumblr media
25.) Cookie Cat
I love a lot of the vibes this song has. The lyrics are so damn prophetic, but they also sound like the kind of weird 90s commercials I grew up on. It’s been like two decades since I saw the Shirley Temple commercial but I’ll be damned if I don’t remember “Animals crackers in my soup! Monkey and rabbits loop-de-loop.”
Tumblr media
26.) Giant Woman
I am. NOT the biggest fan of Steven’s original singing voice. I feel bad saying that, since it was just Zach Callison as a kid, but he never jived well with me for some reason. So I wouldn’t listen to this on the fly. 
The song itself is still really good though, with all sorts of fun animation of Amethyst and Pearl being bitchy to each other. It’s a bit sad in hindsight to see tiny Steven trying to get his moms to get along. Ahh, season 1.
Tumblr media
27.) Strong in the Real Way
This song has SUCH a strong start. Pearl reflecting on Sugilite’s problems, but the show making sure to show us that Pearl’s lack of enthusiasm towards her also lends itself to jealousy as well as just general malaise. How much she cares about Steven, and wants him to grow up strong. 
And then Steven just kinda. Ruins it? I appreciate his enthusiasm for tryna bulk up but to take what was starting as such a rich, personal song and broadcasting it to random strangers just makes me a bit sad. Almost a bit angry on her behalf?
Tumblr media
28.) That Distant Shore
I KNOW this is gonna create some discourse, but I’m just not the biggest Lapis stan. I love her voice. I love the visuals of the song. And I get why she felt afraid and needed to flee.
But Lapis never got to take responsibility for her own actions. And, in the end, the song feels hollow to me- because we all know she’ll never talk to anyone about it, know she’ll burst back in and destroy the barn, and no one will ever question it. I like Lapis a lot, but I feel like her arc never was fully finished. She never got help. She never learned to feel safe.
Tumblr media
29.) Dear Old Dad
I’ve yet to meet a single human being who likes this episode tbh. There’s some great discussion about what kind of parent Greg is from it, and what kind of dynamic he has with the Gems that he felt he had to fake an injury to hang out with his son. Honestly the first half was fine and dandy. It’s just that then they Greg just went out of his way to drag Steven away from missions and such. It never jived well with his character before or after.
Also, is it just me, or does Zach himself sound like he hates the song as he sings it? There’s no passion or heart in his voice. It sounds like they told him to read off cue cards and he did. Tom Scharpling’s best attempts didn’t save this one for being a skipper. But the episode, unfortunately, isn’t, so it gets a spot on here.

I have a lot of Steven Universe fancomics lol I have a tag for them, but I thought it’d be a bit more organized to have them in an archive so that’s what this is XD                        
Some of the comics touch on some heavy subject matter or have some uncomfortable scenarios in them. I will do my best to put a trigger warning on those comics but if you come across something in one of the comics that you think needs a warning label please let me know so I can do that, thank you! ^^

This comic is about Rose’s decision to have Steven and the pro’s and cons of that decision. Many people interpret Rose becoming Steven as a form of suicide. This comic is told from the perspective of a charactor who doesn’t like Rose and only sees the negative in her decision. While I, the author, don’t agree with everything this charactor says to Rose regarding her choice to become Steven, the comic is still from her perspective and a lot of what she says may come across as cruel or insensitive to people struggling with suicidal ideation and could be potentially triggering, so I wanted to leave this warning just to be safe!)

Accidental Eavesdropping and Bed Sharing. Very clever!
------------
If Steven is totally honest with himself, he doesn't know when his powers start. His dad says that there are moments throughout his infancy that might have been magic, or it might have been a tired parent not having the best memory.
There was the occasional toy Greg swore he had put out of reach found back in Steven's hand, the occasional flower patches that seemed to spring up around him. Little things that made Greg wonder just how strong his son really was.
Because of that, Steven could never really be sure when his dreams stopped being his own.
Does he dream about working in the donut shop? Or is that Sadie's mind he's riding along in? Does he have dreams about loneliness, wandering aimlessly in a world of lifeless rocks, or is that Amethyst's memory twisting up in his own when they slept close together?
After fusing with Connie, it's nearly impossible to know if a dream is his or hers.
He's only ever fused with two humans - Connie and his father. The fusion with his father hadn't lasted long - not from any weakness in their relationship but because of his flickering powers. But he and Connie fuse again and again, just for the joy of fusion. They're so in sync it happens by mistake, and his mind gets good at falling into hers.
So how is he supposed to know who dreams of the terrifying ocean overhead, and the comfort of a pink bubble? Who dreams of trying to breathe and finding lungs full of water, or empty of air? Who dreams about books they're reading together, or games they play together, or their favorite shows?
It's rarely easy.
He wakes up one morning with Connie beside him after a sleepover. He's dreamed from her point of view, and he's sure the dream isn't his own, because he has never seen a green paper full of odd little bubbles. He barely understands the dream at all - only vaguely comprehending that the sheet of empty bubbles was a big, important test that he has no chance of passing.
He asks Connie about it, and her cheeks get red as she mumbles, "You shouldn't eavesdrop on people's dreams." It's half a joke, and she had been sweet enough to explain the bubble tests to him, but it sticks with him.
It isn't nice to eavesdrop. He knows that. He's gotten in trouble for it plenty over the years.
So Steven does his best to practice. He practices with all his powers, so it's no trouble to add dreamwalking to the list. He tries to catch his mind whenever its floating off to the humans of Beach City. If a gem needs him, that's fine, but it's rude to sneak around people's brains.
He knows his own face grows hot when he imagines other people seeing his own dreams. His powers have snatched his privacy away more than once. Steven knows it's not a pleasant feeling.
He pulls himself away from dreams of swordfighting and fantastic worlds, and nightmares about school stuff and gem stuff. He rolls back the leash of his magical mind, though it's a strain to keep himself properly out of someone's head when they have the same nightmare again and again, and the need to help makes his gem hum.
But it's rude. He holds back. He lets humans be human without him meddling.
He's gotten really good at it, mostly. It almost never happens. It's only a problem when he and Connie sleep side by side, separated by inches or nothing at all. He doesn't stand a chance then. He's been trying with everything he has, but there's no chance.
When she's this close, he's not sure his gem understands when he ends and she begins.
Any time he and Connie dare to share a bed, his mind tumbles into hers. He asks Garnet, sure it's either a problem of fusion or love, and Garnet is an expert in both. She tells him a little more each time he asks, a little more complicated as he grows, so by seventeen he has a notebook to study from as he tries to solve the impossible problem.
Garnet says that Steven is not good at fusion because he's a Diamond. It's the caring, the empathy, being willing to see things from someone else's point of view. That was the thing that had made fusion come to him so smoothly over time, with so many of his loved ones.
Garnet explains that Connie does the same for him.
Compatibility is a two-way street. If Connie wasn't so good at understanding the world the way he does, Stevonnie wouldn't be such an easy fusion to make. Every year they know each other better, their lives twisting up in one another's no matter how many miles threaten to rip them apart.
The choice is to keep eavesdropping or end being close altogether. Neither of them hesitates.
He falls asleep next to Connie, the two of them snoring in her too-small dorm room bed, and Steven still never has a clue whether he's walked into her dreams or not. Not unless he tried, not unless he meant to.
The only consolation was that Connie didn't either - not unless they talked about it.
He worries over it. "Maybe we could put a pillow between us."
"Why?"
"I don't want you to catch my nightmares."
She looks up at him with deep, brilliant brown eyes and for a little bit it's quiet. he lets it be quiet, because he's gotten good at that over the years. Connie likes to think before she speaks if she isn't angry, so he lets her do that now, carefully picking through her massive vocabulary to phrase her words just right.
"I get more nightmares when I'm alone," she says finally, and her eyes flick away at the confession. "I'd rather go through it with you. It's awful being alone."
They talk about it for a while. It's almost an argument, but not quite, and by the end Connie's laughing and saying, "We're dating, Steven. I don't have a lot of secrets left! What are you gonna see?"
So he eavesdrops. They share dreams of flying and falling, swimming and drowning, success and failure. Sometimes it's a fun game to wonder who the dream comes from, and it's hard to feel embarrassed when they couldn't even tell whose brain it had been cooked up in.
Though when they dream of kissing - when things are suddenly less floaty and wild, and the dreams are nothing but heavy breath, calloused fingers on soft skin, and sweet whispers of adoration. Well. They both wake up blushing, but since it could be either one of them there shouldn't be much to be embarrassed about.
Still, when Steven wakes up from dreams like that, his flaming cheeks make him wish he could get a little better at keeping his mind to himself.
