How strong could Steven be?
Okay, let me rephrase, how strong is the Pink Diamond gem?
Because, let's take a second to actually think about it. There are some abilities that seem to be EXPECTED of gems. They might not all do them since for some it would be "below their station," but they could do it.
1. Sumon a weapon
2. Shapeshift
3. Fuse
4. Adjust their gravitational pull of a planet on their gem to adjust to a celestial body's gravity
5. The ability to bubble
Of course, these are the ESTABLISHED things that every gem SHOULD be able to do (we'll get to Era 2 gems in a second). However, I'd like to add
6. Make a flashlight out of their gem (we see Pearl and Peridot do so when they visit the moon, and it makes sense to be a natural ability since their physical bodies are just holograms with light)
7. Be able to store items in their gems.
These are the basic abilities of a gem, yet there are special powers some gems have.
Sapphires- ice manipulation/ future vision
Lapis- water manipulation
Ruby- fire production
Peridots- metal control
Now one thing about them is that the powers designated to them are IT. Now, it's fair to say that as a gem grows and learns, they can expand on their skill (Pearl did learn how to shoot lasers after the gem War after all), but they concept of their powers stay the same.
For example, as much as Sapphire was shown to be a beast with her ice abilities in a Single Pale Rose, she will never manipulate or produce fire. This is where the Diamonds differ and follow their subjects at the same time.
Blue- gem emotional control (her power doesn't work on humans)
Yellow- physical form manipulation (she can poof any gem/ change their shape or attributes as seen with Garnet in Future)
White- possession voluntary or forced.
Pink - destruction and creation (living or nonlicing)
It's their powers that make me believe that diamonds are needed not just to rule but to make other gems. During Era 2, gems weren't made the same as Era 1 gems as Peridot says she can't shape-shift, but why would that be? Because Pink diamond was gone. With a limited supply of her essence, just like Yellow was having her essence taken in her sauna, they had to portion out what they gave to gems. This would explain what "junk" is put into the ground when gems are made as Amethyst references during Classroom Gems.
This would even explain why the Diamonds kept Pink. While yes, they loved and appreciated her presence, she holds no functional use to the empire, which you would imagen the Diamonds wouldn't be found of, especially when she undermines them constantly and sets a bad example. However, they couldn't get rid of her, not even before they got attached because her essence allowed for the creation of more gems, and there is no guarantee that another being with her power could exist.
Yellow sets a gem to have a physical form.
Blue sets them to have responses.
White sets them to have a purpose.
Pink sets them to have the extra energy to come to life just as the organic material on colonies are sucked up for a gem to use. In fact, I would bet that Pink's essence is what allows gems to exist without needing to do something like recharge or something of the sort. Think about it, whatever energy is sucked from the dirt is bound the run out at some point. Plant life isn't infinite; however, a diamonds power could be.
This is why I question how strong Pink actually is. The diamonds hold compete control over their "domain," even controlling or manipulating what could be considered the opposite of their powers. The thing that makes Pink different from the other diamonds is that her powers WORK on not only things that aren't alive, they work on non gem beings.
Steven fixed his teddy bear and destroyed several non-living materials. He heals gems and humans, for fuck sake both him and his mom brought something to life. And speaking about that. I would like to discuss both lars and lion right now. Specifically their powers.
Now, making the assumption that they got a power up post resurrection could be assumed to be that the Pink Diamond essence pulled so much weight in helping them that the essence is now embedded in them and so they received a power up. It makes sense. Like gems creating distabalisers using Yellow's essence or creating a planet destroying weapon (Spinel) using Pink's essence. The thing I have a problem with is the powers they receive.
1. Long life (okay)
2. Dimensional pocket in hair (makes sense, gems have pockets in their gems)
3. Shock wave or lion's roar (ehh, kinda makes sense with Steven's destruction ability. Okay)
4. Portal creation (what?)
Portal creation was one of the powers lion got. That doesn't make sense based on what we know and can assume Pink can do. What the fuck.
The situation isn't helped in the fact that Pink can make pebbles purely on her own without the help of the other Diamonds.
So, considering Pink Diamond has a hold on
Crearion
Destruction
On ANYTHING
and is CRUCIAL for gem production and can extend the ability towards others just as they can get into someone's head/ control them
I ask again: how strong is the Pink Diamond gem?
And if he gets enough training, how strong could Steven become?

Lately I have been hyperfixating on Steven universe again and the pokemon nerd will always be rooted deep inside me so I'm going to assign all the Steven universe characters pokemon types (i hope no one did this yet)
First one up is Steven, I'll say normal and fairy. Fairy on behalf of Rose/Pink, and normal since he's half human
Next up is Pearl, she's a fairy and fighting type. I think all pearls would be the same type as their diamonds, so pearl is also a fairy type, but also a fighting type. I don't think she came with that type, I'd like to think she somehow gained it some time during the rebellion
Amethyst would be a rock and fighting type, i think that all quartzes would be a ground type instead of a rock type, but since she's off color, she gets the rock typing.
Garnet is a rock and fairy type. I wanted to do rock and fighting, but I needed to put a fairy in there somewhere for Ruby and Sapphires love obviously! (The former "cotton candy" Garnet design just screams fairy.) I think she's good without the fighting type though, because if you've played any Pokemon game, you'd know that fairy types are RIDICULOUSLY powerful..
Ruby is definitely fire and fighting. What else would she be?
Sapphire would be an ice and psychic. I'm saying psychic, because of her ability to see into the future
Bismuth, I feel, would be a rock and steel type. It just makes a whole lot of sense. Almost every rock and steel type Pokemon that we currently have is insanely physically powerful
Lapis is a water and flying type! for some reason I can't shake the feeling off that the flying type doesn't fit her, but she has wings, she can fly, as can every other lapis, she's a flying type
Peridot is a ground and steel type, I was wondering if psychic would fit more but I don't think her metal powers could really be considered psychic, so steel it is!
Jasper is a ground and fighting, it just fits. She RADIATES Garchomp vibes.
Malachite would definitely be a water and dark type.
Aquamarine is a bug type since she is an insect. I accept no criticism for this (haha jk, she's water and dark)
Nephrite is a rock and bug type! I think she was a pure rock type before her corruption, and being centipeetle gave her the bug type, and even after she was uncorrupted, she kept that type, kind of like how the quartzes keep their horns.
The rutile twins will be a pure rock type. I can't see them having any other type. Maybe a rock and ground but idk!
Fluorite is a fairy type, i really can't see her having any other type than that! It fits her perfectly :)
Padparadscha is another one I'm kinda conflicted about, I know she'll definitely have the normal type, but idk if she'd also have the psychic type. I mean, she definitely has some sort of power, it just doesn't work the way it should. So I'll say normal and psychic.
Rhodonite is another fairy, i don't know if she'd have a second typing, if she did it'd be rock for sure
Blue zircon and yellow zircon would both be pure rock, i really don't see them having a secondary typing.
Doc and army would both be fire and fighting type! It fits them both
Navy would be a fairy type, i can't see her being anything like a fighting type. She might also be a dark type but whether or not it was inherently malicious of her to do what she did in room for Ruby is up for debate (but i like to think she's a sociopath with no morals)
Leggy, i think, might be a normal and rock type .. ? Idk she doesn't seem like she'd have any other type, she's just too confused, she just kinda.. exists
Eyeball would for sure be a dark and fighting type, can't see ANYTHING else fitting that girl
The heaven beetle and earth beetle would both be bug and rock! Very little.
Spinel is a fairy and dark. Like Pearl, she originally was a pure fairy type but gained the dark type. I could kinda see her losing her fairy type after gaining her dark type all together, but she was still silly and cute! She was just too hurt. Even after reaching a much better place mentally, she wouldn't lose the dark type
Yellow diamond would be an electric type, which is cliche, but don't forget she literally has electricity powers!!!
Blue diamond would be water, which is, again, cliche, but water really is her whole thing! She makes people cry, and those happy pill clouds she's rocking in future are, assumably, made out of water like normal clouds are!
White diamond is a psychic and dark type. SHE SCREAMS PSYCHIC AND DARK! it fits her so well! Whenever she's using the new power she has in future that lets people connect with her, she would gain their typing temporarily!
I think yellow and blue pearl would both be the same types as their diamonds! Electric and water respectively!
Volleyball (or pink pearl, or white pearl, wow she has a lot of names) is a pure fairy type. I think while she was under white diamonds control, she was also psychic and dark.
(If there is any one I didn't do that you would want me to, mention them in the replies or notes and I'll edit this and add them :])

Concept: Ace Attorney Steven Universe au, where the ace attorney characters are gems from the series, now I could make half the characters just Zircons but that's boring so while Phoenix and Edgeworth are Red and Blue Zircon the rest are more interesting:
Maya would be a Lapis Lazuli
Pearl would be a (fuckin take a guess) Pearl
Apollo would be an Aquamarine
Trucy would be a blue Spinel
Ema would be a Peridot
Gumshoe would be a Labradorite
Franziska would be an Amethyst
Manfred Von Karma would be a Jasper
Iris would be a Sapphire
Dahlia would be a Ruby that disguised herself as a Padparadscha
The Judge would be a Diamond (god help us all)
These are all I have for now, let me know if you have any ideas for Gem assignments because I'd love to hear them!

Lapis x Peridot x Bismuth for the Ship ask game please!! I like to call them the B-Squad Polycule <3
Hmmm......
I'd say I don't ship it, but I can see it ^^
Why don’t you ship it?
I think Bismuth is the biggest factor because I don't really see her as more than bffs with either Peridot or Lapis. I ship her with Pearl a lot so that might have to do with it too.
Plus I have extremely mixed feelings about Lapis x Peridot because I really dislike the way Lapis treated Peridot in the last season before Future. I recognize that they have a sweet relationship, but I have never felt as strongly about them as with Amedot for example, and I don't feel like Bismuth would bring the balance they would need to make the ship work for me.
2. What would have made you like it?
Oh, I'm easily influenced x) Good enough fic or art and I could be swayed. Mostly, I'd like to see them interact romantically, especially Lapis. Show her putting effort in the relationship and I'm down x)
3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
They do have a really cute friendship and I love friends-to-lovers.

Huntlow, hunterxtherapy, Waddles&Gompers, Bee and the circus guy from bee and puppycat, Steven&Connie and lapidot (Lapis and Peridot)
(You don't have to answer all if u don't want to, obv)
I don't have to answer all of them. But I HAVE TO ANSWER ALL OF THEM.
Huntlow:
Tumblr media
I don't ship them (AroAce Hunter and Skarow for me) but if I did ship them I'd be so jealous of their relationship. Strong, sweet, chubby girlfriend? Yes please.
Hunter x Therapy:
Tumblr media
I dunno weird-ass crack ship but still need him to go to therapy.
Waddles x Gompers lmao:
Tumblr media
Bee x Crispin:
Tumblr media
I have an issue with going against canon or soon-to-be canon ships, but I just dunno about these two. I can't see Bee with anyone, and I'd need more backstory about when he stayed at her place to ship them.
Steven x Connie:
Tumblr media
Never given them much thought tbh.
Lapidot:
Tumblr media
I love Lapidot.

{{ I'm intrigued by your take on Steven Universe! I don't mean to start drama, so feel free to answer privately if you like, and I also don't want to judge you, but I'm curious. How did you come to the conclusion SU's message was "killing people is bad no matter what"? Because I personally interpreted a great big chunk of it to have been justifying Rose shattering Pink Diamond. Like it was necessary for life on Earth to survive, particularly in that she was so often held up as a hero in the early seasons.
I will concur that STEVEN thought it was bad, and whew, Bismuth's first episode is... contentious. And certainly the narrative framing lauded empathy and compassion as ways to solve problems. But where did you gather the "no matter what" part?
You are under no obligation to answer of course, you just seem like someone who always lands on a conclusion For a Reason and I'd like to understand your perspective, if possible!
Its no problem I’d love to share my thoughts!
I’m not really saying I think that is the moral although I don’t think pacifism is a bad thing to teach kids, and if you’ve watched the later seasons you know they didn’t really kill pink diamond they just faked her death, but that’s besides the point.
My point was that a good 75% of the discourse was over the perceived idea that no matter what you don’t kill people because how things turned out with Andy (which was a little tone deaf for the time it came out (it was right after the election) but saying bigoted family can change their minds is a nice day dream that isn’t problematic in of itself) and with the diamonds getting redeemed instead of dead.
Maybe they would’ve tried to kill them after exhausting all other options and showing why they had to do it (can’t go from we were doing this bad thing bc we thought you were dead but you’re not and then five episodes later kill them off, but you could with a whole season of tries to explain what they’re doing is bad-> they don’t listen -> Steven gets hurt for trying to explain this -> repeats -> Stevens friends get hurt -> ok these guys are going down but they simply didn’t have time for that after being canceled and the show that’s entire thing is people are messy and complicated, rose and pearl and the cluster and all the reformed homeworld gems like peridot and lapis who took time to make that heel turn, and can usually become better if given the chance, would’ve been going against their morals to justify killing these people a few episodes after unlocking their tragic backstory
And a lot of the issues was that people were getting redeemed that they didn’t like. The diamonds were genocidal dictators! Rose was born into that family and didn’t stop it! She owned other gems as a high up member of society!
She left her entire family though and fought against that and pushed pearl toward freedom several times and hadn’t hit her growth at the time of spinell and hundreds of years passed between those times. She was messed up and hurt people and changed which was the point, but since she’s dead when the story ends and we only see her as flashbacks we don’t get to see all of it, and she chose her death to make Steven, she wasn’t punished.
I don’t know if Steven universe is rehabilitation is the preferred method to change things and killing is always wrong but that doesn’t mean you can’t fight still (they do still beat the shit out of people and stab them and bubble them) or killing is sometimes needed to protect the oppressed but rehabilitation is the preferred method to change things and they just didn’t have time to express that, but the discourse primarily comes from people who are mad that characters didn’t get what they feel they deserved, and this applies outside killing too. All of the gems suck sometimes bc the moral of the story is people are complicated and kindness can help with a lot of that, but if you’re too mad at what they did then you don’t WANT to redeem or forgive them, you want them to be punished, so everyone who felt like that took the end of the show being “don’t worry we’re good now!” The same as telling people not to punch assholes bc if you’re nice enough they’ll change.
So yeah. I don’t know if Steven universe was anti killing but the main thing that people calling it problematic were mad about was the fact that they thought a childrens show was trying to tell them killing people is wrong and revenge isn’t the way dkdkdkdk. That’s my personal take on it anyway.

What sort of isms did Sands inherit from her moms...Jasper's peculiar ability to snort? Lapis' love of naps despite being a gem? Weirdly enough maybe a strong work ethic? Because of this AU, Lapis is still actively working as a terraformer, and Jasper obviously is very proud of being an excellent Quartz, so maybe something along those lines of just, being good at what you're supposed to do. Also a crippling fear of being actually alone, causing her to be possessive of people she actually bonds with, along the lines of Jasper desperate for fusion and Lapis kind of bullying Peridot into leaving with her.
now that you mention it, all of this!! the snorting thing is so funny so i have to agree, and the fact that sands needs sleep unlike emerged gems would make napping a must, plus the fact that she wakes up frequently and has trouble getting enough restful sleep. she loves using her powers so any work requiring them she'd be willing and eager to do, having a huge amount of pride in them after thinking she was useless as a quartz soldier and terraformer. ugh the abandonment issues... possessiveness is definitely trait she'd form. and oof, i'd bet sands would get pretty bossy and might just become a bully herself from time to time. these three aren't exactly ones you want to have a disagreement with.

I'm going to try this character ask. Do I have to go for one or can I go for like two? If so Stan Marsh from South Park and/or Steven Universe.
Yeah I'm happy to do two!
Stan:
favourite thing about him: I love how he's permanently done with everyone else's bullshit, it's always really funny and kinda relatable to me
least favourite thing about him: when he says or does stupid shit because he doesn't know better and gives me second-hand embarrassment. Either that or T&M constantly making him suffer working on Randy's farm lately.
favourite line: 'Can't you just, kind of, fuck off?'
BrOTP: Style and lately cause of s25 Stolkien
OTP: Stendyle
NOTP: haven't really got one, I don't really do NOTPs for the most part besides obviously gross shit like abuse, incest, paedophilia etc.
Random headcanon: he eventually stops hating weed so much thanks to hanging out with Tolkien and just hates Tegridy Weed specifically
Unpopular opinion: I still kinda like the idea of stoner Stan even if Randy pretty much killed it, idk quite how he'd stop hating it but I'd like to imagine it
Song I associate with him: 1x1 by Bring Me The Horizon, a lot of BMTH songs give me a stan vibe tbh lol
Favourite picture of him: this one, or as I like to call it, the definitive Stendyle screenshot
Tumblr media
Steven:
favourite thing about him: how he always tries so hard to see the best in people even when they're so unbelievably hostile to him
least favourite thing about him: seeing him push everyone away and bottle up his feelings as the show goes on, writing wise I think it's good but it's painful to watch. Poor kiddo needs therapy 😭
favourite line: 'I'm me! I've always been me.'
BrOTP: him and Lapis and Peridot
OTP: Connverse, probably a real shock to hear that one lol
NOTP: anything between Steven and gems, there's like a multiple thousands of years age gap so yeah I'll pass
Random headcanon: he probably loves to call Connie after she goes to college and just let her ramble about her degree or stuff she's up to
Unpopular opinion: I don't mind that we didn’t see his therapy, it's more important we got to see the people close to him look after him rather than introducing some random new character
Song I associate with him: for some reason Can I Call You Tonight by Dayglow has a real him vibe to me, mostly Future him trying to get support from his friends
Favourite picture of him: this one from the movie, he just looks grown up and happy it's so sweet
Tumblr media
Thanks for asking!

Mom was a Diamond who invaded Earth
Saw it's beauty and it's worth
Mom made an army and she fought herself
Did that even end up mattering when she faked her own shattering?
Mom lived in hiding by the name of Rose
With the friends she'd made, and the form she chose
Now all that's left of her exists in me
And I think that we can all agree
That is a little bit upsetting
I'd rather think about... a wedding!
Let's think about cake
Let's think about flowers
Let's think about dressing up and dancing around for hours
There's an awful a lot of awful things we could be thinking of!
But for just one day let's only think about love
Okay, Sapphire!
I gotta get dressed for our big day now so... no peeking
And no future vision either!
Hahaha, okay
Oh, Steven
I just wish I could've said something sooner about Rose and Pink
We could think about lies
That we told in the past (They took it so hard)
We could think about hurt feelings
And how long they can last (How can we move on?)
Or we can think about hope
Hope?
You know I've been hoping
About what?
That everything's better now
Everything's out in the open
Bismuth?
Is that what you're wearing to the wedding?
It's the nicest thing I own
Looking sharp!
We could think about flowers
We could think about cake
We could think about wonderful promises we have the power to make
There's an awful a lot of awful things we could be thinking of!
But for just one day let's only think about love
Maybe I shouldn't have picked up roses
Maybe a little... controversial
We could all rethink how we feel about Rose
When it comes to Pink and the things that she did in the past, I suppose
Yeah
Or we could both feel better
'Cause we could think about how
We could think about us and
We could think about now
Well, if we don't use these, we're gonna need something else
No worries, Peridot is gathering more flowers right now
I'll go get her
But for just one day let's only think about
Peridot?
What if Lapis was right?
Sooner or later the Diamonds are gonna come for the Cluster
We're all gonna die here!
We could think about war
We could think about fighting
We could think long lost friends we wish we were inviting
We could think about the broken gems
And the Cluster at the planet's core
Or we could think about the bubble we made so that they can't be hurt
Any- they can't be hurt anymore
We can think about joy
We could think about pain
We could think about sunshine
We could think about rain
There's an awful a lot of awful things we could be thinking of!
But for just one day let's only think about
Just one day let's only think about
Just one day let's only think about
Love
yeah sure i'll answer that

Me 🇵🇭: I'd say a pretty neat job doing a replicate “Ed, Edd, ‘n’ Eddy” episode into his fanmade “Flipnote Studio 3D” animation video. 🙂👍🎦🎮 And yeah, if only Nintendo would released a successor to their 3DS' Flipnote Studio 3D.
Me 🇵🇭: (Meanwhile) I love his style of fanarting Peridot and Lapis, even though I don't watched SU, too much. Only my siblings. 🙂👍 And suggesting Rita's voice will be Pearl's was A-Okay, it'll be fitting for her. 😊 As long as the dub herself tries not to butcher on Tagalog words for Rita's personal. 🤔

I never did the writeup for all of the episodes in SU Season 5 like I was going to. At this point I probably won't. Season 5 is so weird in comparison to the other seasons. It has the great opening arc of Steven in Space with Lars. Then it has the townie Eps, which was praising at the time for their incredible ability to make me feel anxious waiting for resolution to the Connie plot, to the Lars plot, to the whole town changing (Kevin Party is such a good episode for the manner in which it juggles all of that tension)
And then the next episodes, where Lars is brought back, are great episodes, I love new Lars, but it's so sudden being off screen and also kinda breaks a lot of the townie tension all at once with anticlimax?
And from there the season just gets weirder. The pink diamond reveal I guessed like a season earlier (Steven is literally right on the money in his rant in Storm in the Room, but also he couldn't possibly have yet known half the stuff he was right about), followed by the truly lovely wedding, and then the ending...
Oh that ending...
It starts with Yellow and Blue's Heelturns. This series has an MO for villains and it's that a good friendship speech will cause a change in a character toward good but that change may take time. Peridot and Lapis, even when they're open to friendship, take a while to fully settle into their cottage core aesthetic. Given the time limit they were stretching against I understand why Blue and Yellow's heel turn was so short but their change was the shortest and most wild and it did cause whiplash. From there, while it was probably a good move to pivot from the genocidal stakes to stakes more grounded in generational trauma in order to have a story that can conclude in the allotted time, that change also left me somewhat bewildered. The series built itself up so so well across the previous 5 seasons and it had to break a lot of its buildup in order to fit in the runtime.
The finale basically only survives because of the 1 Gorgeously Animated Shot (you know the one) and then the wall to wall music in the last 10 minutes. It hits the right nostalgia notes, and a just barely somber tinted chord, to make you forget that the ending was not really able to pay off a lot of what it had been promising.
So in the end my thoughts on the end are very similar to the end itself. Messy, disjointed, tinged with a bit of sorrow? Idk. If you read this i'd love to hear your thoughts about the ending in the comments/reblogs. Good or bad. I'm giving Sugar a lot of leeway in my analysis on the basis that the schedule screwed them over, but that's not the only valid read.

Get to Know Tag
thanks @captain-kraken for the tag! i love being invited to these kind of tag-game-questiony-thingies this is an open hint to everybody ever 👉👈
three ships & first ship:
honestly i'm kinda bad at seriously shipping when it's not canon, idk just not my speed. i guess for some ships that I've heard of and go "yeah ok I feel that" i'd probably say...
Meta Knight / Dedede
Midna / Twilight Zelda
Lapis Lazuli / Peridot (as a qpp)
last song I listened to: Fledgling by Madame Macabre. It's kind of become a little morning mental health song.
last movie I watched: ironically also Lilo and Stitch, i watched it last night with a friend and was definitely normal levels of emotional.
currently watching: at the moment nothing, i just finished Amphibia a week or so ago though.
currently consuming: Cheddar Pringles
currently craving: Cheddar Pringles, hence the previous answer lol
working on: improving myself to improve my self-esteem and view of myself.
... for a less philosophical answer i've been making a little top down non-violent exploration game in the style of the game boy color / gba that is both an excuse to get back into programming for fun and also as a way to express some sadder emotions i've been feeling.
currently reading: How to Bite Your Neighbor and Win a Wager by @brynwrites. it's incredibly cute and marginally steamy and wow i'm gay
(i had to stop reading it because i got into a bad headspace about romance but like, looking forward to going back to it when i can.)
uhh... i don't really know anybody well enough to feel comfortable tagging them (・_・;) but here are the questions for anybody interested:
