Fifth entry for @glowweek
By far, my fave piece I made for the event. They're such a cute, happy family 馃ス.
While drawing this made me realize just how long it's been since I've drawn any of these characters. I am very out of practice. I used to not need refs for them.馃槼
Anyways, this is my last finished piece 馃槄 I am sick and couldn't continue the last 2 but I'll share the sketches 馃憤馃珷
You can see my art before everyone and get a platypus sticker by supporting me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Imaplatypus 馃憠馃憟馃ズ

headcanon that what steven and connie get married, steven takes her last name. i just see so much potential in the emotion department over that. i could see it as a sense of closure, another point he can make with being himself. i know lots of future dealt with the catharsis regarding his family history, but i can imagine it feeling good to let go of both Quartz and Universe. i dont know if im saying what i mean correctly, like not rejecting his family but seeing it as him continuing to move forward with claiming himself ya know?

day 2 - CASUAL
Entry for @glowweek
Out of curiosity of how Steven would look with straight hair, Connie convinces him into straightening his hair. Unsurprisingly, he ends up looking like Greg from the 80s.
I was also going to draw Steven helping Connie dye parts of her hair a teal color, but I had run out of time. might make it later though :D

"but if it were me, I'd really wanna be, a giant woman"
stevens relationship with gender is so fascinating to me. his entire diamond days arc is a clear trans allegory, but more specifically reads as a transmasc allegory, what with everyone reffering to him as "rose" or "pink" and feminine terms despite his repeated insistence that he is *steven*. and yet he never actually corrects anyone when they use she/her. he only corrects his name. this was pointed out in the tags of that one post youve probably seen:
this post doesnt show it, but steven is delighted when blue said this. obviously you can read this as steven being glad that shes making an effort, even if incorrect, and is just choosing to let the wrong pronouns slide. but its never explicitly stated. and like i said, he never corrects she/her, he only corrects his name. although it is interesting that, by the time the movie rolls around, the diamonds have switched to he/him.
its also interesting to mention how excited he was to put on pink diamonds outfit, and also how quickly he took it off once he got the chance.
of course stevens relationship with his mother and his identity issues are going to play a big part in how he percieves his gender, given that for a large chunk of the show he actually belived they were the same person, at least to some extent. ("im my mom and my sister?! what kind of magical destiny is this?!). how would you define your "agab" when half your family is telling you that you are a centuries old alien called rose/pink who has no sex and used she/her? not to mention all of the various gender identities and pronouns his fusions have.
thats not even getting started on how the gems percieve gender, which is to say, they generally don't. gems are sexless beings and their society has no concept of gender, although after spending a long time on earth im sure the crystal gems have a better understanding (i actually could talk about the gems relation to human gender a lot more but ill save that for another time). for steven, a child raised by gems for a good chunk of his childhood- who use feminine terms as a default-i can see how that would lead to some interesting perceptions on gender presentation.
thats not even getting into stevens gender noncomformity. and while gender presentation doesnt necessarily have anything to do with your gender identity, its interesting to note and i just think its really cool that a male protagonist is so unapologetically feminine
also i could talk for days about connie and stevens knight/princess dynamic, and how it parallels pearl and roses, but in a healthier way that nips the whole "obssesive self sacrifice" thing in the (rose) bud as soon as steven notices it. but then id have to talk about pearl and then wed be here all day lol
so yeah, stevens relationship with gender fascinates me. I mean, does the concept of "cisgender" even apply in the way we usually mean it to, given stevens unique experiences?

GLOW | DARK
Entry for @glowweek day 1!
I'm a huge fan of raves and EDM, so when i saw the prompt "Glow" i couldn't help but think of the amazing glowing from blacklight, UV paint, and of course the glow bracelets that are at these shows!
I took inspiration from the scene of Steven and Connie dancing at Sour Cream's party in the episode "Alone Together" and also some colors from clips of various Porter Robinson Dj sets.
