Fan Works / Awesome

There are Fan Fics, and then there are Fan Works. While not as common as the fics, there are sometimes works that are too complicated for just the category for Webcomics or fics alone. These awesome moments shall be recorded here for all to see.

"Our best laid plans can go flying out the window, and our lives can do a 180 in an instant. That doesn’t make our lives from then on out any less valid, it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. It’s different, but its yours."

YouTuber Ron Ghraizi presents The Crystal Gems VS Yellow Diamond, an animatic nearly as long as an entire actual episode!
- One particular note in the video is that Yellow Diamond is powerful enough to fight Malachite and Alexandrite at once and ''decidedly' had the upper hand on them both until they manage to defeat her through team work. Even then its clear nothing less than those two could've hoped to defeat her.
- Yellow Pearl, of all Gems, shows up almost immediately to defend her Diamond and shockingly she manages to whoop our Pearl's butt simply through Nonchalant Dodging.
- And immediately after, Peridot summons a weapon powerful enough to send Yellow Pearl flying. And when Yellow Diamond has her at her mercy and is fully prepared to crush her with her fist, Peridot screams that she's a clod to her face.
- Just when it seems like Alexandrite is beat, she utters this Wham Line:
"MALACHITE, NOW!"

Special

equnep's Garnet edits, based on the working theory that Garnet is Not So Stoic under her shades. Also qualifies as Funny, Heartwarming, and Tearjerking, just because of how many there are and all their different contexts!

Videos

Steven Universe: Unofficial Trailer. The editing is so amazing; it manages to make the trailer awesome, heartwarming, and a tearjerker in only 3 minutes.
Datis Ausum's MVs are this in general. For example:
- Sea of Voices (the Antics remix), using clips from the end of Season 1, highlighting the Crystal Gem's struggles against the Homeworld Gems.
  - The sequel MV, Divinity, is even more so. The Sea of Voice MV is titled "The End." The Divinity MV is titled "Won't be the end", and highlights the Crystal Gems' previous triumphs despite the odds against them.
- Overtime is basically every CMA in Steven Universe's first two seasons crammed into one video.
- This MV is a stylized summary of "The Answer", featuring a VGR remix of Something Entirely New.
- Goodbye to a World is an epic Lapis tribute, with amazing special effects.
This MV of the English version of A Cruel Angel's Thesis. And the Japanese version!
- A separate (made by a different fan) Animetal version takes it to a Darker and Edgier level! And then we have the second version. And the USA version.

Well you didn't spare my brother so GET DUNKED ON!
- A CG animation to the above Sans cover of "Stronger Than You".

Steven's Bizarre Adventure. It's features the ending song, "Roundabout" by Yes, and To Be Continued from Jojos Bizarre Adventure to the ending of "The Return" and it works. It just works.
The Steven Universe intro reimagined as an anime opening. It's as awesome as it sounds.
- Another person did the same (Only with Seasons 2 and 3).
During the hiatus, several people came together to make a recreation of the extended opening. This is the result, and you can just tell how much love went into it.
Let's see how far we've come!
A fan-made, rock-remixed version of the extended theme song. Now including Peridot and Lapis.
This unofficial trailer, done in the style of the Suicide Squad (2016) trailer.

This shot-for-shot remake of "After Today" from A Goofy Movie. A great collaborative effort on a low budget manages to get most shots painstakingly accurate, with a few acceptable breaks from canon, and nearly perfect wardrobe and background creation, as well as aesthetic casting—for a Cast of Snowflakes Crowd Song. They even recreated a flyby magazine with incredibly detailed accuracy. They have a making-of commentary that's fifteen times as long as the video itself. This video is considered such a Moment of Awesome that the director of the original movie, Kevin Lima, has gone out of his way to praise it, and Jason Marsden recommended it to his costar Bill Farmer, who also loved it; supporting actor Rob Paulsen also mentioned liking it in his Talkin' Toons podcast with Marsden.
