You.

I found your SU fan-animation episode "The Smothering" with a Mom-Swap AU.

I have several questions.

Is Jasper a fusion? If not, what's Amethyst's role? Is she still an overbaked runt or is she more powerful? Is Garnet still a fusion? If so, is this AU's Homeworld's treatment of fusions different than in canon? If Pearl takes Peridot's role, are Pearls more than just servants in the AU? Or is she a servant pearl like other pearls? What's the deal with the diamonds in general? Jasper and Peridot still seem to have the yellow diamond on their chests, does Steven have Yellow's Gem on his chest instead? Or is it still just Pink? Has Peri never been poofed and is that why she still has her limb enhancers? Was Bismuth (and her whole deal) still a thing? If so, does this mean that Amethyst (Or Garnet?) was the one stuck in the mirror? Was it just Sapphire given her future sight?

These are just a few of the questions I have, I don't want to overwhelm you.

Thank you for reading this if you have I am too curious and I would love answers please I'm beggin' ya. I am on my hands and knees here I am so. curious.

So the issue with what you're doing here is that you're trying to equate a one-to-one exchange between characters in the AU.

For example, there's no reason for Jasper to be a fusion.

So the basic idea was that Peri-Jasper-Lapis were Rose's friends in this version, or at least were the ones who ended up being alive (or unbubbled) and looking after Steven. The other component of this idea is that they'd be much worse at it. None of them being particularly good at getting along. I like to imagine they occasionally try and take each other out when away from home like when Peridot aimed her cannon at Jasper. They're a much more dysfunctional version of the normal gems.

So Pearl and Peridot didn't exchange roles in the story one-to-one. Potentially Rose didn't receive a new Pearl after cracking 'Volleyball' or felt too ashamed by this and bubbled her and claimed she didn't want a pearl. She did ditch Spinel forever on a secret island in space so it's not like that's unreasonable for her. If you want a cannon answer for this AU specifically, her new Pearl was delivered by her overprotective sisters and she never activated it. Partly due to shame and party out of loathing that they think she'd need an attendant. So Pearl (our Pearl) is in a box in Rose's room.

Instead, Rose found Peridot and broke stuff to have an excuse to talk to someone. She discovers Peridot has been hiding that she's a dud and cannot control metal but sees herself in the weaker gem. When she takes Peridot's hand instead of discarding her she wins her loyalty for life. Peri's Limb enhancers are things she created to feel more useful and prove she's not weak and useless. If you want another one-to-one exchange, imagine the reveal that she's got Limb enhancers replacing the reveal that Garent is a fusion. They're quite similar in regard to poofing a gem revealing their body isn't quite what you expected.

Lapis is just cheerful because in this AU she wasn't repeatedly imprisoned after many war crimes. I still use her theme of freedom, in that here she's enamoured with the idea that there's no hierarchy and revels in freedom. So she's the fun aunt type who would be fun for a weekend but god you wouldn't want to live with her. Rose met her shortly after she was imprisoned for a little accidental war crime she was ordered to do and set her free.

Jasper was just Jasper. But Rose revealed she was Pink Diamond and Jasper went to her side instead of trying to kill her unknowingly in a war for ages. Jasper already adored her and - after the idea is introduced that gems can choose who they want to be by Rose - Jasper attempts to mimic things Rose did because she liked Rose so much. Obviously, if you want to be a good gem mimic a diamond right? She attempts to mimic her compassion and respect without really getting it. Ironically she's the most like Homeworld, since she just obeyed her Diamond and is not trying to do what she thinks her Diamond wanted. Her journey would be actually understanding what Rose meant as opposed to just repeating it. (Fun gag: Since Rose loved Greg Jasper assumed Greg has immense value, and tries to sort of flirt with him because that's what Rose did. Greg figured out she's just mimicking Rose but it's still super uncomfortable and he's intimidated by her.) (If you want another one-to-one, Jasper gets the love confession from guy-who's-name-I-forgot and accepts. She shows off that she has a pet human like Rose and everyone is disgusted by this.)

---

So Peridot wants to show she's smart and competent, believing she's Rose's extension and needs to look after her son. She's conflicted about considering herself inherently weak and needs to learn to accept she doesn't need limb enhancers. She doesn't like Lapis because she's never doing any jobs and was born super powerful. She doesn't like Japser because she thinks she's an idiot thug and also was born Perfect, unlike Peridot.

Jasper tries to enforce a more military-like command structure but neither of the other gems respects her or cares so they just butt heads a lot. (heh) Lapis hates orders and Peridot doesn't think Jasper has smart ideas. Jasper ends up feeling like she's nothing more than a violent murder machine and her function is to do harm. They also get wicked pissed at her when she tries to mimic how Rose would act.

Lapis hangs out and has fun. She sometimes breaks rules just because she can and causes some issues. Being a powerful water lord she needs to learn some restraint and control as well as the ability to work with the others.

---

CHEATS - I left their design unaltered because I didn't want to use new designs. I should have used new designs, but I didn't. This is why there are yellow diamonds on the outfit. Assume they are incredibly uninterested in changing outfits. if I redid it they'd have unique outfits, or at least they'd have pink diamonds on their chests.

Bismuth, the Diamonds, and fusion are all the same.

---

I think Amethyst would have been discarded and practised transforming so hard she could pretend to be strong and large long enough that she'd get away with it. That and only faking muscle right up until she needed it.

She'd blow a lot of hot air and then try and end fights asap until Jasper knocks her around.

Sapphire would be great for the mirror, a mirror that sees the future would be incredibly handy. She'd be uncatchable also and fulfil the role of someone who contacts homeworld. When she came back with Amethyst and some rubies armed with destabilisers one fused with her to save her. This crisis of faith caused them to flee while the other rubies were bubbled.

See it's about having similar outcomes with the same overall plot. Instead of events being the same with new faces, you exchange the trials a character goes through with the other. Amethyst and jasper are facing the same issues but the one we're rooting for is swapped, etc.

For Pearl, she'd have an episode where Steven discovers her and the gang use her like a slave. Steven is uncomfortable with this and tries to make Pearl think of herself as her own person. She ends up working at the car wash and has a nice time. Steven wanted her to be her own person but she's coded to obey him, so he leaves her with Greg, who's not directly her owner but a still in charge, which she can handle better since having no one in charge around causes her to panic or shut down. Greg pays her but she turns around and uses her income to buy things for the Carwash.

I’m casually watching Steven Univrse again on HBO Max, and almost a decade later, the first season really holds up...the show uses vignettes of Steven’s day-to-day life to slowly introduce the more fantastical elements of the worldbuilding, with the audience’s understanding of what’s going on expanding as the main character’s does. its a classic formula executed with a light, deft hand, and the effect is charming. IIRC most audience criticism came later after it had already attracted a ton of attention, and I’m curious to see if that was just the natural life cycle of media or if it actually does get worse. I personally don’t remember disliking any of it (except the non-canon Uncle Grandpa episode) and mostly found the period of time when a bunch of tumblr cartoon people were mad at the show…confusing? we’ll see!
