#Centipeetle

Story Summary: What would happen if the Crystal Gems had settled down in a place other than Beach City, a little backwoods town just west of weird…? What if, upon coming to Gravity Falls for the summer, Dipper and Mabel were to befriend Steven and Connie? What kind of magical, mysterious adventures would they have? And, how would they fare against the combined threats of merciless Homeworld Gems and a certain triangular demon?

Find out what happens when Magic and Mystery meet in Universe Falls...

Chapter Summary: When the Mystery Shack is attacked by a monster onslaught, Steven's mysterious guardians, the Crystal Gems, come to the rescue. But will they be able to stop the centipeetle scourge on their own? A frightened scream rang out from Steven, Connie, Dipper, and Mabel alike as they stood in the towering shadow of the centipede creature. Unlike the gnomes, there’d be no escaping this disaster, not with Lion still down for the count from that last risky jump. Fortunately, they wouldn’t have to as a miraculous rescue arrived just in time.  Just as the monster was ready to unleash its acidic wrath upon its victims, something suddenly coiled tightly around its long midsection. The beast gagged as it was violently pulled away from the kids, toppling to the ground instead. As it fell, they were all able to see the small, yet strong purple figure who had managed to save them.  “‘Sup, Steven,” she grinned, throwing some of her long, lavender hair back.  “Amethyst!” Steven beamed, relieved. That relief only grew when he spotted the other Gems fighting the smaller centipede monsters scattered all over the area. “Pearl! Garnet! What’s going on?” “S-Steven!?” Pearl shrieked when she realized he was there. She threw her spear down hard on one of the smaller creatures, and as soon as she did, it vanished into nothing more than a puff of bright smoke. “Stay back! It’s too dangerous for you out here!” Click the link to read more; all comments are appreciated!

A collection of Steven Universe comic signatures from this past week.

I’m down to single digit stock here if anyone in still interested in their own signed comics!

God, okay. I have no idea if this hyper-specific genre of story/trope exists but I need more of it so I'm sending out a general message here:

Does anyone know if there are any stories/fanfics/comics/anything that has a format of the Centipeetle Drawing Scene from Steven Universe?

The idea of two beings communicating, however they can, despite the vast gulf in languages? That you might never even be able to cross that gap because of the differences in your vocal chords? It hits so hard for me and scratches an extremely specific itch in my brain

The closest examples that I can use are the book "Project Hail Mary" and the game "Chants of Sennar." But Chants of Sennaar puts the translation as a type of puzzle, and half of Project Hail Mary are the flashback scenes back on earth. Both are good examples (especially Hail Mary), but I want the communication itself between two characters to be the central aspect of that story

You know what *does* scratch that itch for me?

The fucking Vending Machine Isekai

The main character only has like, four voice lines it can say as a vending machine. But through trial and error, he is able to communicate with those around him, even detailing strategies in battle, like *using fucking mentos and pepsi to defeat a fire monster.*

And I cannot emphasize enough that I don't really like this show -- I stopped around episode six. But that process of deduction and communication is something hyper-specific that is something I absolutely love!

Like, okay. Let's take Splatoon for example: a human gets isekai'd into the Splatoon world, but there is no auto-translator that either side can use to communicate.

How do the Inkfish deduce that the human understands them, is aware of their culture? Hum the melody of the Calamari Inkantation.

How can you communicate different ideas that are too vague for charades? Through drawing, like the Steven Universe episode.

Use instruments and music chords to begin the basics of translating alphabets, stop motion with figurines to give a play-by-play of events, games to build camaraderie. I just, I *need* more stories like this, where communication is the entire point, I love it so so much!

So, if there's anything like what I'm describing here, even in fanfic, please share with me. I need to experience more of these stories and more need to exist

It's kinda funny to me that a substantial part of Dee Bradley Baker's career is him making weird noises. Feels like 99% of the time when you see a Creacher in a cartoon it's voiced by him. He's got the monopoly on the Weird Noises market and honestly good for him

Nephrite, because she’s underrated and I love her 💚
