#muh connverse kids

Beach day! I mean they live near a beach so it's one of many.

This was suppose to be for an inbox message that was ages ago. Been trying and retrying to draw this but now realized I have misunderstood it. 😅 RIP

So, like, I'm just gonna toss it here. Making characters look older is still a personal struggle, ( I am getting at it though hoho), but the eldest is 15 in this.

[anti-anti-stevinel]

What the fuck is the deal with "ankle-beez"? They seem to be the biggest Steven Universe blog around. Every other SU blog I know (even the world's only proshipper Connverse normie, picturejasper20) reblogs from them.

They're also the world's biggest hypocrite.

They make analysis posts about the real message of SU, about love and forgiveness, against revenge and that sort of stuff.

At the same time, they are a hardcore anti-shipper bully.

They sent me gore and death threats last year when I was 17, for shipping Stevinel. Said "yer a pedo kill yerself!!11" (okay, that's paraphrased).

What's wrong with Stevinel?

Is it that Steven is "a minuh and not ready for sexual relationships"? Then, why is Connie, a human fourteen-year-old in-universe, ready for sexual relationships when it's with Steven? Why is Steven ready for it with Connie?

This leads me to believe it's the stated "aGe GaP!!11". In that case, Greg/Rose, which ankle-beez likes, is child rape (he wuz twenty an she wuz twentythousand!) That's fucking stupid. Kataang and Bubbline are "child rape" too, by those standards. Stating an exaggerated number next to a supernatural, non-aging, cartoon character does not child rape make. Is Katara a "necrophile" for having kids with Aang, a so-called "hundred-and-forty-something-year-old" character? Because 140-year-old men are all known to be dead? Is everyone who's read the Bible a Child Rapist™️, because the eternal, ageless God impregnated the thirteen-year-old Virgin Mary, as part of the biblical canon leading to the birth of Our Saviour Jesus Christ?

Also, by the same fucking stupid standards they use to call Spinel an "aDulT", Steven is one too. Gems don't fucking age. They're robots. If I have a 200-year-old baby doll, it's still a baby doll. Dolls don't age. Since Steven's gemstone (and with it, Pink's/his memories) has been around for 20000 years, he is "an adult", an "elderly man".

That brings me to the next point: one cannot "ship pedophilia". I wish I could "ship" mental disorders. I wish my autism, ADHD, OCD, Tourette's, depression and paranoia were as simple as fictional "ships".

More or less, "pedo" hysteria is NOT about protecting chilluns. When a child is murdered, nobody bats an eye. When child-on-child sexual abuse occurs, the same applies. Also, when an adult is raped. It's not about healing sexually abused children, or preventing rape. When adult-on-child sexual abuse occurs, the emphasis in media is never about helping the kid. It's always about torturing and murdering the "pedo" (sexual abuser). Basically, because nobody cares when there's no "pedo" to punish, it's not about protecting children, it's about hating people with mental disorders. Apparently, because I turned 18 two days ago, I lose my human right not to be raped.

What "paedophilia" actually is, is a mental disorder characterised by a greater level of arousal towards prepubescent individuals to pubescent ones. You cannot support or oppose it - you cannot be convicted for it or commit it - it's a disorder. Something you're pretty much born with and can't change. Conflating it with rape is like conflating "schizophrenia" with serial murder. While schizophrenic individuals have a higher murder risk compared to the general population, nobody ever says "commit schizophrenia" when talking about murder.

Fandom discourse is not a PhD. You cannot diagnose me with a disorder from the DSM-5 for writing the wrong fanfiction. You cannot convict me of a crime for it, either.

The most common anti argument that fanfic/hentai/whatever "encourages pedophilia". You cannot encourage a disorder. I will not magically sprout mental illness from reading fanfic. If you mean it ""encourages child rape"", if I were to rape someone, I could not blame reading a fanfic. Rape is caused by far deeper issues than having read a stupid fanfic.

Rick/Morty is canon in the multiverse, and Morty is a fictional teenager (who wishes incest porn had more mainstream appeal) with Rick, his equally fictional grandfather. So, who is raped by this? Nobody. Again, if you rape someone, you can't say Rick x Morty incest fanfic made you do it.

ALL ships are fine. Even stupid shit like Rick/Morty. Stevinel, though, isn't even of that kind. It's literally no worse than Bubbline, Kataang and Gregrose, all of which are canon to their shows.

So, what is it? "She """tried""" to kill him"? Strange. When Steven lets his shield down, Spinel could just blow him to fucking bits with that city-sized, injector-smashing fist of hers. She doesn't. SU's definition of "try" means "stop yourself". "Try" suggests someone else has to stop you with force, and that didn't happen, in which case, Steven "tried" to kill Greg in Mr. Universe, White (and with her, every Gem) in Homeworld Bound, and Connie in Buddle Buddies and every episode where he gets Connie into fights, and, and EVERYONE in Laser Light Cannon, Little Graduation and I am My Monster. He also "actually murdered" Jasper in Fragments by the standards (mind you, shattering isn't lethal and the Diamonds did nothing wrong).

Anti-shippers have implanted this stupid idea that non-aging things age as humans into my head. The idea is there to virtue-signal against MUH EBIL PEEDOUGHS. Now, I have paranoid thoughts about being a child rapist when I cuddle naked with a pillow that's been manufactured one year ago. Pillows don't age. But, in antis' heads, they do.

Why am I supposed to think of Spinel as an elderly woman? The character who is shorter, less mature and higher-pitched than Steven, sobs like a baby, plays peekaboo and gets adopted at the end of the movie?

It just disturbs me, honestly, how anklebeez can understand the show's message against violence and for healing, while literally murdering real children (and adults) for the rights of fictional ones, by bullying into suicide.

Why are they so popular? Anyway, I accidentally got carried away and wrote a masterpost when I meant for a quick ask. Hope you appreciate it.

Also, what determines whether a cartoon character is okay to "sexualise" or not?

Stated number? Then I can draw a stickman with a dick, then write the number 15 next to him, then you're a Child Rapist™️ for having looked at the image?

Height? Then is why is R34 of Madeline from Celeste, Sans and Amethyst, okay, when it's not okay for Steven and Hat Kid?

The word "kid"? Then, kill any teenager with a crush on a cartoon of Kid Cudi, I guess?

Don't harass ankle-beez. It's not worth it. Revenge is pointless. Never, though, have I been so confused by someone's self-contradictions.

Seriously.

Wow, this is huge, I didn’t know they allowed asks to get this long now, lol.

Um, but no comment on all of this since it’s just a rant, lol. But I don’t disagree.

Resketched a 2022 sketch ( ´⁠꒳⁠` )

[screwpinecaprice]

@glowweek Day 5 FAMILY | FRIENDS

Peridot and specially Lapis do not trust the racoons.

Specifically chose this angle so I don't draw feet. _(:,3」∠)_

Mi own connverse kids Ebony and Rohini are there! And technically Sakura and Zachary. (Please until now I don't know what else to name them. 😭)

And sorry the older Maheswarans aren't there. I don't know where to put them and I already had character overload. 😞

Hibiscus print on Bismuth's shirt is from ManMadeOfGold!

Speaking of shirt, another thing I avoided was thinking of their outfit designs. 😅 It's somewhere a little over a decade of timeskip since SU:Future and I'm sure at least one or two would've reformed during the time. So I'm gonna say they wanted to keep the vibe of a casual outdoors picnic-type event so they wore the casual themes.

[screwpinecaprice]

Would connverse kid(s) be given any sword training or self-defense (despite era-3 being more peaceful)?

Sorry in advance, I could not English right now. Hope I'm understandable at least. 😅

With my connverse kids, Ebony would be very interested in Gem stuff and going around different places and planets. Apart from hostile environments, there are still rouge and corrupted gems out there though. Best to know combat.

Rohini really likes swordfighting, but she mainly have used it to compete athletically. Sometimes it's useful when she tags along Ebony.

/Sakura/* saw her older siblings their swords, and she just thinks fencing is fancy. 🤷‍♀️ Whether she'll get over it or not, I don't know yet. Haha

/Zachary/* would not be interested with swordfighting at all.

*Sorry, STILL don't know what to officially name the twins. 😅

Also, can I use Steven's healing ability as an excuse for him and Connie still looking younger than their age and hide my inability to depict age? 🥺

[screwpinecaprice]

I think your Connverse kid ages confuse me a little bit. Do you have any sorta timeline for when they're born? It seems like Ebony is a lot older than her siblings haha. Did Steven and Connie wait, like, 4 or 5 years before having Rohini? And considering Rohini's beefing with Zachary, I'm guessing the twins ain't much younger than her.

Connie's pregnancy with Ebony didn't go quiet swimmingly, and they thought it's safer to just not go for another until they accidentally had Rohini after around 6-7 years. And they were like, wow that actually wasn't so bad this time.* So they tried another after 2-3 years.

*Something about Connie's body getting more familiar with magic literaly in her system the longer she spent with Steven, in addition to microchimerism through each pregnancy; which made accommodating an alien babey in her womb easier and easier.

[EDIT] Age difference retconned! There is only a 2/3 year difference between Ebony and Rohini. While there is a wider gap from Rohini to the twins.

Other info is still true. Pregnancy with Ebony was hard. Rohini was still unplanned but surprisingly easier than Ebony's. Though they did still try not to get pregnant then. They only figured out how not to after. So there was a wider gap from her to the twins. Effects of microchimerism is still true.

Rohini and Zachary just fight more.. well more often than between the others at least, because the other two are significantly less reactive to quips and sass.

[screwpinecaprice]

Do your Connverse kiddos fight at all, or are they all pretty close to one another? Personally, I think Rohini probably wouldn't get along with her siblings, but that may just be me projecting based off my own kiddo headcanons.

Haha kinda with Rohini, though she mostly bickers with just Zachary, but it never gotten too serious. Other than that, there's the sibling rivalry here and there. (I mean at least so far, lol)

*inserts doodle I made that I dunno what to do with but kinda relates to the topic. Trying upper angle without reference practice.*

Ebony gets along pretty well with all of the siblings, usually acts as a mediator among them.

Rohini idolizes Ebony. Had that classic phase of younger sibling copying the older sibling. And although Rohini and Zachary have their squabbles, and she could not relate to Sakura's very feminine and vain ways, she's quite protective of them both.

The twins also look up to the Ebony, but they're relatively closer to Rohini, specially with the former started frequently going out on Gem adventure.. traveling stuff.

Basically, that's their fight to peace.. sibling meter... I dunno what's the actually term it is. (⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠) They all generally get along fairly well and if there's fighting, it's expected to be Rohini and Zachary.

Late night scribbling until I got too sleepy.

Tiger is just there to take up space. He's full of milk.

[screwpinecaprice]

Do any of your conniverse kids have powers? Also they're all to die for! Sweet angel babies really 🥺

(Was hoping to be able to draw something for this ask, but that might take a while. 😅 So just using the most recent clear drawings of the kids.)

They do indeed have powers, I just hadn't actually gotten to be that detailed about it. haha Developing my OCs is something I'm bad at. orz

Ebony, though being the eldest, has the least variety of magic, and it's practically just, like, boosts. (e.g: enhanced strength) But she is the most resourceful one. She's also the most involved with Gem stuff because of her fascination with it, so she knows a lot of tricks under her sleeves.

Rohini, middle child, can adjust her gravitational weight. (If I'm using the term correctly.) Can summon a weapon without a gem, and can self heal and recover fast. Can't heal others though.

Excuse his language he's not really the serious and is not the most impatient one of the siblings. He's just unintentionally sassy sometimes.

The twins whom I temporarily call 'Sakura' and 'Zachary'. (It's been around three years and I still couldn't decide a settled name for them. ;-; ) Has the most variety of powers exhibited among the siblings. But tbh they preferred the causality with their lives so they mostly used their magic for aesthetic. lol

All of them can bubble.

---------

Second timeline has another (and just) Ebony.

Bubble, healing, astral project. How much else of the powers inherited from dad and if there are new different ones, is yet to be known.

[screwpinecaprice]

Can you go into the differences between single child timeline and multiple children timeline involving your connverse kids?

Gladly! 😁

Okay, so

Gold Timeline (multiple kids)

Steven and Connie had Ebony on their early 20's. Although they wanted to be independent, they were mentally unprepared for raising a kid (and had a little complication during Connie's pregnancy), so they moved close to where relatives can easily help them out. They had Rohini 2-3 years later, which was an easier period than before. They did eventually move away around when Ebony turned 7. They had twins around early 30's.

They settled in a resident close to the beach.

Steven and Connie got wed while Connie was pregnant with Rohini. They had golden wedding rings.

As one might've easily guessed, this household is noisy and rowdy. lol But they (Steven specially) did find peace in their children's chaos.

Part of my headcanon is that the older Steven and Connie had kids, the more gem-related powers the kid had. So Ebony had the least magical abilities, the twins had the most.

Connie is physically more durable than Silver timeline Connie.

Only the twins have pink tinted eyes with a vague diamond marking.

Silver Timeline (single child)

At their 30's, the two had enough time for themselves and figuring they're on a more stable situation, decided to finally have their own kid.

Connie and Steven were wed at ages 25/26. They had silver wedding rings.

Though still having close connections with the Gems and their parents, the couple never had the need to reside physically close to them.

They live in a more forest area and they'll have to travel by car or lion to reach the nearest town. Or a warp pad, which is not directly connected in their house.

I guess one could say they are relatively a boring family compared to the Gold timeline. Lol. The silver timeline dynamic is more mellow and subdued.

Steven is calmer than the Gold timeline Steven.

Ebony has visible dark diamond eyes.

There aren't that much details though, and I've just enumerated the ones at the top of my head because sometimes the ideas aren't listed down and tend to be forgotten. 😅
