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.

@tooxldtorememxer said . . . good girl. ( cory > aurora ) — good boy/girl

aurora's not sure what cory's trying to get out of this — but being called a good girl makes her tail wag. she grins over at him, mischief in her eyes, and it's not long before she pounces on top of him, climbing up until she can firmly wrap her arms around cory's shoulders and her legs around his waist.

❛ woof! ❜ she starts, before she lets out a laugh. ❛ do i look like a dog to you, manticore? ❜

At some point I need to jump back and draw the scene of Hob negotiating w Manticorinthian @ the circus because some variant of this exchange occurs.

Cori: “meant to ask, why’s a human like you so fixated on busting that pissy nightmare out huh?”

Hob: …… >:( *telling silence*

Cori: *manticore shrug* “I have literally never seen worse taste but you do you. I still get what I want out of all this.”

Dream and Hob both have a maximum level "ANYBODY would want to date him, just LOOK at him!" attitude towards each other

I have the unfortunate tendency to perceive in the opera more mythical monsters than the opera in fact contains. "Batticuore"? Without fail, I hear "manticore". Amanti cori? Sorry, they are manticore to me. On the positive side, it usually makes the opera more interesting.

Welcome to Mystic Haven Resort, ROBIN HOOD! We hope you enjoy your stay. Please be sure to check in within the next 24 hours and review the details of your reservation. Rahul Kohli & Robin Hood from Robin Hood are now taken.

[ rahul kohli, male, he/him ] Ah, ROBIN HOOD from ROBIN HOOD, a 35 year old NIGHT CLUB MANAGER! They’ve been with the company for 6 YEARS, and live in MERRY MANTICORE HOUSE, SUITE 1120. They’ve shown themselves to be a CHARITABLE but DECEPTIVE person, and remind people of THIEVES IN THE TEMPLE BY PRINCE. Guests often remark that their vibes are LEAVES CRUNCHING UNDER FOOT RUNNING THROUGH THE FOREST, DRINKING MOONSHINE AROUND A CRACKLING WOOD FIRE and THUMPS OF ARROWS LODGING IN HAY BALE TARGETS. [ played by cori, 33, cst, she/her ]

EMPLOYEE SURVEY.

01. Why have you chosen Mystic Haven to pursue a career with?

It is, quite simply, the easiest place for me to be me! I’ve found a supervisor that I can respect and who let’s me run my club the way I see fit. I’ve found a comfortable, quiet home that’s great for exercise, leisure and most importantly a good time. I’ve found a, pun intended, haven in the forest to conduct business without the burdens of travel. It’s the perfect fit for me, and I believe I’m the perfect fit for it!

02. What do you think you can bring to the team, in terms of skills or attitude?

I have a certain level of sophistication I find overtly lacking in the present staff, even despite my many years of service at the resort. I try to bring some class to the table, but also some smiles. I do what I can to aid in the finances wherever necessary, but most of all I want everyone to have fun: guests and staff alike. I’m just happy to do my part to make sure everyone’s living their best life.

03. Finally, here at Mystic Haven Resort, we believe change is inevitable and something to embrace. Do you believe you can roll with the changes in your life, or are you stuck in your ways?

Depends on the change, I suppose. I like my life. I, like any man, likes to be in control of his destiny. I like to have a say. Should something dramatic occur, well, then I suppose it’s beyond my grasp. But I’ve gone to great lengths to be the master of my fate, and to better the fate of others. I may not be as quick to submit as others at the resort.

HEADCANONS

1. Robin first came to Mystic Haven as a guest for an archery contest over 10 years ago. He had made a game out of using his tournament winnings to benefit the less fortunate in fun and unique ways. After several stays at Mystic Haven, and more than a few impressively questionable wins in the contest (gaining the attention of Big Mama) Robin realized he could continue his operation without having to travel the country. Here, the rich come to him, and he gets to bask in the smiles of those he helps. Plus, every night is a party. 2. A true music addict and a terrific dancer, which is how he talked Big Mama into putting him in charge of the nightclub. He has a very large collection of record albums that he is always adding to, and can at times be a bit of a music snob, depending on the artist or song in question. Some of his favorites are on display in the club as decor. 3. Robin is professionally trained and excels in several individually competitive sports including fencing, karate, capoeira, boxing, and wrestling. He also is an excellent swimmer and gymnast. The sport he excels at, however, is archery and he has yet to be beaten. 4. Robin is a master of disguise to the point that it is dangerous. He revels in being a trickster; getting away with things a normal person couldn’t. He’s always trying to top his last disguise or trick, and for no other reason than a good laugh.

A crackship drawing from a horror RP I’ve been doing with @ragethewriter. Poor Cori crashed her car at the wrong house and met a mind scrambled Raicouda. Now she’s stuck in a place with scorpions and creepy dolls. Raicouda belongs to Rage, check her story out!
