So, apparently if this report is to be believed, they're taking the Steven Universe Movie off Max on August 1st.

Ian JQ is surprised by this, as can be seen in the tweet I linked, and...ugh. Fucking Zaslav strikes again.

[up] I guess this just means SU will be available on more platforms that arent Max.

Well maybe this isn't reliable, but no mention of it leaving here: https://whatsondisneyplus.com/whats-coming-leaving-hbo-max-in-august/

Edit: Never mind. Guess it wasn't done updating.

Given that a number of shows now aren't on any services, I'm always leaning on the pessimistic side.

I mean,it's no loss to me because Max isn't even available in my country and Steven Universe's movie is still available almost everywhere

And I think Hulu besides also having the stuff has also has a cartoon that Max gave up last year as part of the tax write off.

Plus some HB stuff going to the free Tubi TV.

Zaslav seems to like the FAST (free ad supported TV) model. Essentially a cable channel. So I'm not surprised to see shows moving to Pluto, Tubi, etc.

So, looking up fan-art on Pixiv and Pintrest, I found an artist named Kloaa, who seemed to have created, at first glance at some of their stuff, a sort of "Diamond Steven AU", where our lovable, soft-hearted protagonist, Steven Universe, is, instead, the next successor to Pink Diamond in the hierarchy of the Gem Empire.

One example here. And another example for further perusal.

It made me curious: what sort of SU A Us have ya'll seen, either sorta in a "In a Mirror, Darkly" way like this one or more WAF Fy stuff or even interesting in a "...Huh." way, the type you don't necessarily agree but you can either sorta see the point or think it's an interesting change-up, anyway?

Also, Gem Cats. The characters as various cute and fluffy animals. If that's not enough to entice you, I don't know what will.

I liked the one that had a different variation of Steven based on each diamond being his parent. I think it was called "Steven Multiverse"?

[up]

That idea seems to be the really popular one(s). Encountered a fan webcomic at one point based on White Diamond Steven, although I don't remember all the details. It still had him encounter the normal Crystal Gems, but with Rose still around and him not having been raised by them it was pretty different.

I also saw "momswap", which is where Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl are swapped with Jasper, Lapis and Peridot (this was prior to Bismuth appearing IIRC). Think I saw one with Connie being the gem child instead, possibly Yellow Diamond's?

Also more of a possible future, but I've seen multiple variations on grown-up Steven and Connie with a kid, those tend to be pretty cute.

[up] I believe you're thinking of Ask White Pearl and Steven (almost!) anything.

One of the more interesting/cuter AUs I came across was one where Pink Pearl was never "broken", was part of the rebellion with Rose and CG Pearl and was one of the Crystal Gems in the present. Wish I could remember the artist's name.

I’m rather fond of Crystal Gem Spinel AUs, myself. There’s a fair amount of them, but most of them are pretty interesting.

I think after Future, there's a lot more to discuss about whether Steven would want a kid when he grows up, since he'd probably worry so much about Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting and not want his child to grow up worried about gem stuff. A lot of the kidfic is fluffy but it has some real deconstructive potential.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Steven would probably be safe in such a scenario. Rose only had to give up her gem when the time came for childbirth, and he's obviously not the one doing that. It would mean the kid gets no gem powers, though.

Wonder how Steven would approach parenting without being too strict like Greg's parents and the Diamond trio or too lenient like Greg?

I think he would really obsess over raising their child in a normal way. I wonder how much he'd try to keep them away from Gem stuff. Kind of makes me imagine a scenario where his kid comes across Gem lore and it's like Moana and the ocean.

Ah, so in an attempt to break the cycle, he goes in the complete opposite direction... ironically just like Greg, albeit with a different topic.

If anyone claims that Steven Universe had no irredeemable villains, there's either Marty or Aquamarine since neither of them either change for the better.

And it holds more weight to have a character who never changes when the show makes a point that everyone is capable of change. They just choose not to.

...when did we start talking about villains?

Anyways, I was thinking more on Steven and Connie having a kid and there'd actually be a lot of potential there, especially if Steven is overprotective: the kid could become a Generation Xerox not of Steven, but Connie, lying to their parents and exploring on their own because of how unintentionally controlling Steven is in his protectiveness.

Well, Steven’s actually going to therapy. Not something you can say of Greg or Rose

That might help

Steven and Connie's hypothetical kid would be a hell raiser in the best kind of way I think
