History Fanon / StevenUniverse

* Quite a few fans love to headcanon Steven as pansexual. Mostly due to how he pretty much likes anyone.

* Garnet is often depicted as aromantic (or demiromantic) and UsefulNotes/{{asexual|ity}} because she's explicitly stated she isn't interested in dating.
* Peridot is sometimes depicted to be UsefulNotes/{{asexual|ity}} because a passage in the book ''Fusion for Beginners and Experts'' states her being perfectly okay with ''not'' fusing. This was later confirmed, along with her also being aromantic, by WordOfSaintPaul.

* Lars being a [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trans man]] is a common fanon.

* There's a surprising amount of "Lars is depressed" fics, some of which involve him [[SelfHarm Self Harming]] or [[DrivenToSuicide attempting suicide]]. In addition, some of those same fics feature the idea that Lars UsedToBeASweetKid, a lot like Steven actually, and Sadie was a BullyHunter for his sake.
* The Cool Kids (Sour Cream, Buck Dewey, and Jenny Pizza) are in a [[OneTrueThreesome polymorous relationship]]. This is due in large part to how often all three are seen together and how calm they are together.

** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/56c4su/nycc_followup/ At NYCC 2016]], it was confirmed that these two Gems were indeed Jaspers, though it is still uncertain if the general consensus was correct on the specific ''types'' of Jasper.
** Confirmed in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E22MadeOfHonor Made of Honor]]" when Bismuth unbubbles her and refers to her as Biggs.
* Despite the fact that we don't see enough of them to judge whether if it's accurate, the Carnelian and skinny Jasper seen in "That Will Be All" are commonly depicted as best friends and/or pseudo-sisters due to [[spoiler: their shared Beta Kindergarten origins and each of them being defective in some way]].

** Human Jasper will often have [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo vitilgo]]. She's often Amethyst's older (biological, adopted, or foster) sister.

* Regarding mental issues:
** Steven is possibly on the Autism spectrum and/or has ADHD, and has C-PTSD by the time ''Future'' rolls around. In "Growing Pains," the latter is confirmed in all but specific diagnosis.
** Pearl, Peridot, Garnet, and Padparadscha are on the low-support/high-functioning side of the Autism spectrum.
** Almost every depiction of Pearl after Steven's birth has her falling into a [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal depression]] due to the loss of Rose. She ''was'' depressed after Rose's death, but the self-destructive part isn't implied.
** Amethyst has BPD and/or OCD.
** Lapis has depression and PTSD.
** Onion is often depicted on the autism spectrum.
** Spinel has BPD and/or ADHD.

* Smoky Quartz's gender is unconfirmed, but it's usually interpreted that, like Stevonnie, they are non-binary and use "they/them" pronouns. It's assumed that all of Steven's fusions are non-binary and they all use "they/them". While the latter is true for most, at least one, [[spoiler:his fusion with Pearl]], uses "he/him" pronouns.

* Yellow Diamond is a FormerTeenRebel who was just as [[BrattyTeenageDaughter bratty]] (if not more) to White Diamond [[GenerationXerox as Pink Diamond]] [[https://cupcakeshakesnake.tumblr.com/post/171695610128/loycos-cupcakeshakesnake-loycos-she-had-to was to Yellow]].

** It's also common to have their fusion to be called Chrysocolla (due to the relation to Malachite), or Turquoise. Aquamarine used to be popular before the actual character called Aquamarine made her debut.

** The Tounge Monster is a Dioptase, due to their exactly similar color schemes. The nose Gem placement is retained when uncorrupted. Some people also like to think of her as being the same Gem as the nose statue in the Cloud Arena.

* If Lapis and Peridot were to ever fuse, it's generally agreed that their fusion would call herself "Turquoise." Which makes sense, as combining green and blue together makes the color turquoise.

** Ruby has dark skin and kinky hair. Sapphire can be dark skinned as well, though it's not uncommon for her to have lighter skin. Either way, Ruby is usually the darker of the two. Ruby and Sapphire are [[HasTwoMommies Garnet's mothers]] -- often, one of them will be UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} so Garnet can be the biological child of them both. Ruby is usually depicted as being into martial arts.

* Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond are Pink's older sisters/[[HasTwoMommies parents]], and White Diamond is Pink, Yellow, and Blue's mother/Pink's grandmother. Pink Diamond is Rose's mom and Steven's grandmother; Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond are Steven's great aunts/great-grandmothers, and White Diamond is Steven's great-grandmother/great-great-grandmother. As of "A Single Pale Rose": [[spoiler:due to being half-Pink Diamond, Steven's real aunts/grandmothers are Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond, and White Diamond is Steven's real grandmother/great-grandmother.]]

* Quite a few fans love to headcanon Steven as pansexual. Mostly due to how he's said "I like all kinds of people".

** Peridot wears a hijab, wears a hat, and/or has prosthetic limbs. She is a DarkSkinnedBlonde just as often as she's not.

** Both Amethyst and Lapis are usually AmbiguouslyBrown (with Amethyst often being a DarkSkinnedBlonde, though brown hair is also common for her, as well as dyeing her hair a shade of purple). They're usually Hispanic and Polynesian (or Filipino) respectively if their races are specified.

** Since Sapphire was revealed to only have one eye, human Sapphire often has an eyepatch or a scar over one eye. Sometimes she keeps her bangs, but sometimes only one eye is covered (with no indication as to whether or not the blocked eye is damaged.) When dark-skinned, she's usually a DarkSkinnedBlond.

* It has become popular belief that Greg is, well, Greg (from ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall''). They're both chubby, brown haired, and musically inclined male characters. It helps that it has been established that Greg didn't come to Beach City until he was an adult, therefore eliminating one counter argument. Also if the two Gregs are one and the same, it could help explain why he's so adaptable to the weird Gem-related things happening around him.

** Ruby has dark skin and kinky hair. Sapphire can be dark skinned as well, though it's not uncommon for her to have lighter skin. Either way, Ruby is usually the darker of the two. Ruby and Sapphire are [[HasTwoMommies Garnet's mothers]]. Ruby is usually depicted as being into martial arts.

** Since Sapphire was revealed to only have one eye, human Sapphire often has an eyepatch or a scar over one eye. Sometimes she keeps her BlindingBangs, but sometimes only one eye is covered (with no indication as to whether or not the blocked eye is damaged.) When dark-skinned, she's usually a DarkSkinnedBlond.

* Blue Diamond's Pearl and Yellow Diamond's Pearl are close friends, borderline-RomanticTwoGirlFriendship.

* Garnet is often depicted as aromantic (or demiromantic) and {{asexual|ity}} because she's explicitly stated she isn't interested in dating.
* Peridot is sometimes depicted to be {{asexual|ity}} because a passage in the book ''Fusion for Beginners and Experts'' states her being perfectly okay with ''not'' fusing. This was later confirmed, along with her also being aromantic, by WordOfSaintPaul.
