#SU Lore

[saiscribbles]

What do you think of Skinny Jasper and how do you think she and Jasper would get along? They give me big sister and little sister vibe or friends whatever

I actually have a pretty complex headcanon about this!

I think if Jasper met up with the other Earth Quartzes it would be tense. It was mostly Jasper's lines in Fragments that put me on this line of thinking: "The only problem you have are your friends." "Can't you see they're holding you back?" "They're afraid of your power." "Those so called friends of yours don't understand, they want you to feel bad for being yourself."

This instantly gave me the impression Jasper was projecting. Big time. Maybe she was too intense even for the other Quartzes. And from some of the things she says in Earthlings it makes me think she's probably said some cruel things to them, especially the other Beta Kindergarten Gems.

"Your weakness embarrasses Homeworld You suffer because it's what you deserve! We all only get what we deserve."

"Every Gem is made for a purpose: to serve the order of the Diamonds. Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged!"

"Earth is a prison. I got out because I'm better than this place."

Jasper I feel has always been very isolated. No other Earth Quartz was on her level. After the Earth was abandoned by the Diamonds Jasper was put into the service of Yellow Diamond's court while everyone else was shoved off to do busy work on the Zoo station by Blue Diamond. I doubt she's seen the rest of them since.

I think deep down Jasper's true core motivation is justifying her own existence. She came from the slapdash Kindergarten that existed just to quickly make more soldiers to fight the Crystal Gem rebellion. Homeworld lost that war anyway. The planet she was made on is now considered a point of shame. And as far as anyone knows her Diamond was slain. No matter how perfect she came out or how powerful she is her origins are always going to haunt her. So she has to prove she was worth making in the first place.

does steven universe have a social security number

You were right to leave. I always thought that you were failing this world. But, if you were happier on Earth, maybe... this world was... failing you.

pink diamond is a character i am constantly thinking about and turning over and over in my mind. i wish we got more of her. i think the depth of her character was greatly overshadowed by the popular bad faith interpretations of her character present by the end of su future.

been rewatching su and its even better than i remember 😙wanted to revisit a rly old oc & make a pearl...

[chrisrin]

was super inspired by onian's take on gemcyt!cleo (specifically the choice of a rainforest jasper)--so i tried my own hand at a design with it!

ALRIGHT GAMERS I've been cooking up an Undertale Steven Universe au and since I'm running out of time today for a little doodle I thought I might as well share these two!

I've cooked up more than what's written here, but enjoy!

Papyrus is a Pearl and Sans is a runt Dumortierite quartz soldier.

Papyrus:

Originally Gaster's pearl, a little off-color due to being the scientist's (for one reason or another)

Handed off to Sans in the events following Gaster's "death"

Sans

When he emerged he was a runt Dumortierite quartz soldier, leading to him being perfect fodder for Gaster's experiments: A gem that came out right enough to still be useful for something underground.

During experimentation his gemstone was chipped and Gaster force-fused the shard of a sapphire to Sans to "make him whole again". His eye is always blue as that's the part of the sapphire. This explains why he's able to read souls and gemstones, has low HP, and can effortlessly dodge.

The reason the two are alive and well in Snowdin despite both of them being crimes against nature (at least in the gem world) is because of a contract King Asgore found. Once Gaster was shattered and clustered due to falling into one of his own creations, Papy and Sans were two of the only monsters left at the lab. King Asgore found a contract that he signed with Gaster to leave the two alive, and although he can no longer remember the scientist, he decided to respect the contract. The king reassigned Papyrus to Sans to Snowdin, a small town where few gems would get many ideas, requiring Sans to be a Sentry under Undyne's watchful eye. After discovering his impeccable ability to read gemstones, he's also assigned the "Judge" role in Asgore's castle.

Happy birthday to my favorite character from this stupid game I've been obsessed with for a bit more than a year now

[grinnames]

What’s the status quo like after the incident, do they all just go back to having wacky adventures after the incident or, are the boys up to something more sinister?

Oh no, seems like you saw something you shouldn't have!

I just have this strong inkling that Sylus is gonna be a strongly multi-layered character. Like yes, he is a villain, and probably with good reason. Considering how the current timeline/story is so deeply woven with the myths and other phenomena we may not know of yet, it's likely that Sylus is this anomaly who exists to bring an unexpected sequence of events that hasn't been foretold by any prophecy or past life.

Knowing that Xavier's role has allusions to time and time traveling (the current timeline we play in is the past), he's essentially breaking that prophetic rule, in a way. Going back to the main timeline to try and save the MC, destroying the protocores in Onichynus' possession...

But everything that Xavier's purpose is, maybe Sylus has exceeded that already or intends to, at least. Since he's been watching the MC this whole time, and has seen her with Xavier/Lumiere... the central rivalry will transpire between those two. I can also see a rivalry between Rafayel and Sylus, only because Raf seems to have the deeper connections when it comes to networking and who does what, etc. (And with Zayne who became a cardiac surgeon with the intention of saving MC, it's likely a tense rivalry between him and Sylus would gradually turn into something of neutral ground.)

Anyway, my point of it all is: Sylus will break the pattern. Whatever curse there is that has been placed on MC, his existence seeks to rid of that curse by any means possible. I do truly believe he wants to let the world burn for her, and the protocore experimentation serves a greater purpose of trying to save her...

I have no clue if tumblr ate the ask or not (if it didn’t, I apologize for the double posting) BUT

BUT

Im glad to see so much art of Robbie getting so many friends who roughhouse with him, especially after the Robbie lore dump (possibly by coincidence? Since it wasn’t here) because he deserves friends who can handle and even match his energy :)))

YEAHHH IM GLAD TOO!! specially for a lonely guy like him,, he’s dumb and sometimes even criminal in what he does, but my golly he’s a really excited and happy guy,,,,,

new venti sus lore

why are the archon “About Venti” voicelines labeled that way

for Zhongli, it’s “About Morax”. for Ei, it’s “About Baal”, even though she isn’t Baal but anyway. for Nahida, it’s “About Buer”.

For Furina, who is no longer an archon, it’s “About Furina” (and this makes sense knowing that Furina’s demon name meaningfully refers to a different entity with its own set of memories, relationships, and habits).

but anyway consistently they prefer the demon names over the mortal ones. And Venti has a clear and well known one: he is the god Barbatos. So why isn’t Zhongli’s, Ei’s, Nahida’s voicelines abt him “About Barbatos”?

…who or where is Barbatos, if Venti is not him? Please tell me he doesn’t have even more identity shenanigans going on.

I would like to thank @endlessvoiq for giving me these ideas but I think they and I are genuinely the only people in this fandom who notice the mildly fucked up implications that can be gotten from Green and Purple's dialogue about how their relationship is? The main point I'm bringing up is how Green never directly mentions her if you defeat her, while Purple directly mentions Green if you defeat him first.

Now this could mean absolutely nothing, but with how little Purple talks like at all, it could have you wondering if Purple is by chance also being treated horribly...

Reemerging theme of fate as something to avoid in Genshin made me think.

This could actually be what shattered Childe's dreams. Imagine dreaming of having a grand and glorious fate and finding out fate is a cage and a rather disgusting one. And all the heroes of eld were stuck in a miserable circle.

(would explain why he wears Parsifal's ring too. "I'll do it for myself and for that fellow.")

As Saoki said, I too would react to finding that out with "wtf, I'll punch god personally for this!"

It also made me think of how he compared the Traveler with the morning star. There's the obvious Luciferian parallel, of course, but something something watsonian doylist.

The Boy doesn't know the Lucifer legend (even if authors intended this specific reference) but he knows some other context (so he meant something else). So what did he reference? Why the morning star is surpising?

The thing about our world Venus is that its phases and changes of visible size couldn't be predicted by geocentric model. It was something that didn't fit into the concepts of the world.

(something true that doesn't fit the fake laws of Teyvat... hmmm)

If I understand that right, in especially early astronomy (think Babylonian times) calculating even its trajectory was a pain and we have fewer records on Venus than on everything else.

So maybe it's that. The unpredictability. Childe doesn't seem like the type interested in astronomy but maybe he came into contact with the metaphor through poetry or seafaring. These two seem up his alley.

I assume he values defying fate very highly (conflicts, change, him being called unpredictable, the Narcissenkreuz theme of imposing one's will over the world, etc).

Also there's that legend about moon sisters being in love with morning stars.

And Tsurumi island murals that produce absolutely insane theories.

So the concept means something in Teyvat, we just don't know what (a bit like rose in Teyvat is a symbol for secrets but not all the other things it means in our world).

Steven Universe Au: ☆Amethyst☆

Amethyst Facet-5 Cut-8XN, or Ame, the name given by Citrine, was an unknown gem part of the gem Kindergarten project. Like the show Amethyst, she popped out way later than she was supposed to. But instead of being a sponge and soaking up any and all information, Ame came out with her duties realized: to observe quietly and destroy any and all potential threats. Anything that came into the kindergarten was either scared away or heavily injured by the stout yet powerful gem. She caused so much trouble that word eventually got out to the Crystal Gems.

Personality: She's quiet with an unsettling demeanor until someone gets her out of her hole. (Get it?) Afterward, she's calm with a bit of a silly side. She can be quite moody when it comes to not being able to do what she wants, but she still tries her best to keep a composed and polite attitude. (Especially since she feels high-key guilty about how she acted in the past, you will barely see this girl lash out.)

｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+Extra info:

☆⁠) Her weapon is called the: "Heart-Stop Bow"

☆⁠)When she shoots it, it can cause a time stopping paralysis to the gem/person/creature hit

☆⁠) She can do this up to three times before having to retrieve the arrows because it drains her energy (I'm a sleepy lady, this was bound to happen)

☆⁠) Emergence date: February 25th 20XX

☆⁠) She hangs out with Steven's Lion the most
