To my fellow Smekday / Home fans concerned over one or the other and whether or not you have to choose:

YOU CAN LIKE BOTH.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but the amount of complaining I’ve seen for the movie that not only borders on stuck up and even elitist, but says that you literally can’t like the movie is quite irritating to me, and it’s time somebody says something about this. Before you get on my tail, I’ve read both books. The book and movie have their own unique plotpoints, their own flaws, one with flaws way more prevalent than the other, but you can still appreciate the movie for what it is.

As for the books, I heavily appreciate the lighthearted fun, dark undertones, and the fun story that’s attached to it. I like the designs of the aliens, and I like the stakes and real consequences involved. I love how the post-invasion world is described, how desolate and hopeless it all seems. I love the eerieness of it all, I love the development and worldbuilding of the boov themselves. I love how their history is laid out, I love the koobish, I love the deep, touching characters and their personal journeys, I love how the second book delves deeper into post-invasion Boovish society, I love how we get to explore their architecture, I love how the bees are described, I love how the silliness of the plot doesn’t distract from the seriousness of some aspects and scenes of the book, just all of it.

On the other hand, the movie, whilst different and considerably more flawed, is a personal favorite of mine, and I watched it at least 7x during my Home/Smekday hyperfixation. I do have a gripe with the title and it should have been more specific, and even considering its many flaws in comparison to the book, I love the campy fun of it all, I love the visuals, I love the music, I love the score (If you don’t think Frolicking in Paris is an epic masterpiece, then what kind of monster are you? /t /lh), I love how Dreamworks adapted the story in their own way, I love the design of the Boov, I love the play into shape language, I love how the Gorg were done (even if they should have been a different alien species), I love the underlying tone, I love how Oh redeems himself, I love how the two protags bond, just all of it.

The only piece of Smekday media I don’t fully like is the Adventures With Tip and Oh series, given its numerous flaws and cookie-cutter nature, but even then, it can still considerably stand on its own, and has some fun elements that make it unique in its own right. Hell, they even adapt some concepts from the book in greater capacity in the series, which I personally appreciate for that. BoyBoyGirl Band is a cool concept that something can be done with if elaborated on a bit more, and Sharzod is also pretty neat if you adapt them right.

Plus, pointing out the differences between book and movie whilst reading was really fun too, and looking into both gave me incredible insight into how both versions are done, as well as how they can be done further with a little bit of fanwork. Reading the books and watching the movie gave me a lot of fun and good ideas for an AU later down the line, and I can’t wait to fully get it off the ground beyond a few concepts I did. If you can’t pick one or the other, I think a fun little AU would be the perfect project to look into and use both (or even all 3 / 4) pieces of source material with in a way you see fit!

In conclusion, you can like both. It’s not a big deal, and while you can be mad about the movie and how it admittedly did kinda butcher a lot of the book in a few ways, that doesn’t give you the right to lord over what others can and can’t like, nor does it give you the right to shame others for liking the version that you don’t like. I do not want to have to argue over this, my stance is final.

In order to cement this as a Smekday / Home post, here’s a few images of boov.

Steven Universe Recast

Retelling Steven Universe using CGI characters with a theme of magical creatures instead of gems. This is going to be a lengthy one, so you might want to sit down.

We have…

The Main Humans:

Antonio Madrigal in the role of Steven. In this world, fairy/ human hybrids are called changelings. Aside from talking to animals, he also has the powers of other Madrigal members, such as healing, enhanced strength, growing plants, affecting the weather, and best of all; Mirabel’s power of listening.

Felix Madrigal is the role of Greg. I guess he’d have a different surname in this story. Or maybe he was married to Peppa, and she passed away. I’ll leave that up to you.  

The Crystel Gems:

Nimona the pucca in the role of Amethyst. Pucca are shapeshifters who serve as foot soldiers in the Fay army. But Nim would rather play and cause mischief.

Mavka the tree nymph in the role of Pearl. Nymphs, like pearls are cultivated to serve whoever possesses their soul plant. But Mavka was emancipated to cultivate her own path.

Sweet Dream the fusion in the role of Garnet. She’s a fusion of Branch the scout troll (in the role of Ruby) and Poppy the wood troll (in the role of Sapphire). Fusion between different species, even different ranks of magic creatures, is forbidden.

Supporting Protagonists:

Nora aka Anansi in the role of Bismuth: Well-intentioned overzealous butch warrior. Spider people are used for manual labor in the Fay world, but they rebelled and went on the lam, with Anansi as their leader.

Mike the cyclops in the role of Peridot. Cyclops are bred to be soldiers, but since Mike was born “defective” he works as a scout.

Celia the gorgon in the role of Lapis Lazuli. Gorgons are architects with stone powers. During the war, Selia was petrified by accident and left behind when the Fay left.  

Sophia the First in the role of Connie. This was a hard role to fill out, and Sophia’s the only character I can think of whose young enough to be matched with Antonio. I think they’re a good couple.

Chunky the death cat in the role of Lion. He was bred to be a war mount, but he ran away from the battlefield.

K-Pop pretty boy Merlin in the role of Lars. Wizard wannabe who (spoiler) is eventually turned into a dwarf and becomes a rebel leader.

Sweet precious Snow White in the role of Sadie. Badass with a heart of gold.

The Off-Colors:

Terry and Terri as the Rutile Twins. They’re conjoined cyclops twins who were deemed “useless” at birth but were rescued by Cory.

Pomni in the role of Rhodonite. She’s a fusion between Gnomeo and Juliet.

Oh in the role of Padparadscha. He’s a goblin bred for clean-up duty, but he’d rather play in messes than clean them.

Cory the Manticore in the role of Fluorite. She’s a fusion between a vampire, a were-lion, a scorpion centaur, and a satyr. She rescued the other off-colors from being killed by the Fay.

The Antagonists:

Chackel the vampire in the role of Jasper. He’s an assassin who loves his job and can’t stand letting his prey get away.

Lou the siren in the role of Holly Blue Agate. Self-righteous control freak. Male sirens are rare, so they get special ranks, usually as instructors or enforcers.

Manon aka Puppeteer in the role of Aquamarine. A pixie retriever with the power to paralyze people (plus she kind of looks like Aqua) 

Laverna the pixie the role of Emerald. She’s an inspector in charge of hunting down dissidents.

Elves Velvet and Veneer in the role of the Zircons. Veneer is the blue one, Velvet is the green one. Elves are in charge of upholding the law and seeing if it’s been broken. These two are very bad at their jobs.

The K-Pop Quintet in the role of the Ruby Squad. Scout Trolls similar to Branch who seek out missing VIPs.  

The Diamond Authority: They are based on legendary Fairy Queens.

The Director as Gloriana the White Diamond. Creator of the Law.

Mayura as Mab the Blue Diamond. Interpreter of the Law.

Style Queen as Titania the Yellow Diamond. Enforcer of the Law.

Then there’s Sun Yi, who is based on the Celestial Weaving Maid of Asian lore.

CosmoBug (my favorite variation of Ladybug) as Pink Diamond and Sun Yi as Rose Quartz. There’s lots of symbolism in this transformation; she goes from a racially vague unsure teenager to a fully Chinese-coded mature grown-up.

Queen Bee in the role of Yellow Pearl. She’s a daffodil nymph.

Miraculer in the role of Blue Pearl. She’s a tulip nymph.

Raggatha in the role of Cracked Pearl. She’s a rose nymph whose right eye was replaced with a button. Long story.

Finally there’s Anxiety in the role of Spinal. She’s a personal companion brownie assigned to Sun Yi. But she kept freaking out over everything, so Sun left her with the nymphs.

Character fusions coming soon.
