I spent the last week rewatching Steven Universe, and thought it would be fun to draw the Diamond Authority 💎

“y’all couldn’t even handle the moral complexities of steven universe”

You've probably seen this type of post make the rounds every so often and either agree or disagree with it. I'm of the former camp and have often pondered some of the reasons why this thesis holds water.

To start, Social Media has really changed the game in Fandom for better and for worst (the latter being too often the case). Namely in how on platforms like Tumblr and Twitter (Musk can shove that X up his ugly a-), we get fun fandom nonsense along with a 24/7 news cycle of whatever's trending.

Which means we have constant intrusion on our timelines about how the geopolitics across the globe are pretty crap. Many of us retweet things we feel may be relevant, especially when misinformation has become a vertiable economy we need to be aware of.

We also have people raising awareness of social issues that our world still endures such as sexism, racism, every kind of bigotry you can imagine. Ironically, this brings about those railling against the notion that they either still exist or need to be worked on at all in a display of said prejudices. #Gamergate didn't just spring from the ether.

Many celebrities of various levels of fame were turning out to be… pretty bad. Social Media would empower them to speak their minds and not all of it was just “their beliefs.”

To keep this focused of when Steven Universe was coming out, the end of the Obama era and Trump planting his stanky ass in the Oval Office, this was when people’s trust in each other was at an all time low.

Hell, I remember when Trump’s campaign and Brexit got many bigots to feel like they can be prejudiced without consequences. Whole reason he made it to the final two at all.

As such, how else would Uncle Andy Demayo come across as anything other than a MAGA hat wearer? How else would the Diamond Authority come off as but the powers that be who “need to be stopped?”

Steven Universe came at a time when fandom was intermingling with the real life. Fans were starting to feel insulted whenever something like fighting the government or interacting with problematic family member wasn’t answered with “Burn it to the ground!”

Notions of compassion to those who are troubled or maybe in need of a shoulder to lean on were disinterpretted in the least favorable light possible. How could SU even humor the notion that narrowminded family members or even people of power could be redeemed let alone humanized?

Essentially, it didn’t speak to the emotional climate at the time for millennials or Gen Z. It’s why we’ve celebrated Big Jack Horner and those who harken back to classic Disney villains. The kind you cheer on to be taken down a peg.

Lily Orchard didn’t start the fire. The flames were already being fanned.

Who's been telling people that yellow diamond and blue diamond are canon siblings?

I've always seen them as ambiguous enough in their affection that you could ship them or headcanon them as siblings with no beef, But lately I keep having interactions on yt comments asking me, "Aren't they siblings?"

Me personally I love characters that are utterly misunderstood in the fandom space of their series because of the interpretation of another character🩵

Another random snippet from this Au I came up with

“Blue!” Called the large yellow diamond as she entered her fellow diamonds sanctum “I’m up here yellow!” Responded the blue diamond.

Up the steps she found blue combing her hair and relaxing in her onsen “yellow! Perfect timing I was just about to send for you.”

Upon seeing the blue diamond yellow smiled “care to join the water is as perfect as usual.”

“I’d love to but no I’ve got to check up on the newest pyrite batch from my pyrite colony.” Blue sighed but she wasn’t surprised yellow was always working. Going out getting new colonies

And if she wasn’t getting one she was finishing one.

“Though I couldn’t help but notice when I arrived that pinks ship isn’t here.” Blue put her comb back and floated over to the edge where yellow was “is she still not back.”

“What do you mean she’s still not back? Blue how long has she been gone?” Asked yellow worriedly “maybe ten rotations ago. She left right after I let her out from the tower.”

Blue smiled happily “not that I’m complaining I was actually able to finish all my work in one go.”

Yellow sighed “stars I hope this isn’t another one of her little games. Maybe I will take you up on that offer blue I need to relax.” The blue gem backed up a few paces allowing enough room for the equal sized yellow diamond.

“So where did she even go.” Blue shrugged “I don’t know I was surprised when my Pearl reported she left home world. But I assumed she was heading your way.” Blue started snickering “or maybe she went off to get herself a colony on her own.”

Yellow scoffed “when pink takes initiative I’ll give up my colonies.”

The blue gem cuddled up next to the yellow one resting her head on her chest.

Silence overcame the two as they listened to the soft sounds of water.

“When do you think she’ll be back.” Said blue breaking the silence “if anything I hope in a few millennia.” Blue rolled her eyes “as annoying as she can be pink is one of us.” Yellow sighed

“I know she can just be so infuriating sometimes I’d wish she acted more like a diamond.” Sparks began to fly from the yellow gems finger tips

Sitting up blue pressed her hand onto yellows gem making the yellow gem blush “yellow calm yourself.” The sparks came to end and blue relaxed herself back on top of yellow.

“I understand your anger but all we can do is hope that as the century passes she’ll become more mature and ready to come to place. And who knows maybe her leaving to go get her own colony is a good thing. maybe she’ll learn how to be a leader and a proper diamond.” Yellow groaned and laid back on the wall.

“One could only hope.”
