Steven Universe! au character profile

I had this idea for Steven Universe and Gravity Falls that I couldn’t stop thinking about for the last couple summers. I call it, the LUV BUG au. It’s been in my head now since SUF ended. All you need to know about it is that it follows Steven being discharged from the psych ward. See, instead of having the gems talking Steven down calmly, it sort of went the direction SUF couldn’t go in. You know, the ending the fandom actually wanted from the series. Steven’s corrupted form lead to massive destruction, a travesty on parts of the coast. It’s what leads Steven to evaluate his mentality in the psych ward.

Plus: he dyes his hair different colors on his entire trip as a coping mechanism. He chooses blue by the time he makes his way to Gravity Falls.

Febuwhump 2022 Day 10: "How Long Had It Been?"

Ships: Ben & Dexter & Steven

Warnings: N/A

AO3 L!nk in the Comments!

It was night when the doors to the lab opened. Light wafted in from the hall. Dexter’s eyes squinted with a frown at the sudden glare against his computer screen. With a groan of annoyance he whipped around in his seat to face the intruder. As usual he fully expected his pink clad elder sister. Her inquisitive ways always causing him nothing more than annoyance. Doubled with the fact that she could never keep her hands to herself. Though, in their older years there was a better respect for boundaries, she still had a bad habit of falling back on old ways.

Instead, Dexter was not met with the wide and curious eyes of his sibling, but instead, the mixed expressions of both Steven Universe and Ben Tennyson.

Steven Universe and Ben Tennyson were both odd in their own respects. Dexter could not lie in his fascination of their respective ties to extraterrestrial life. Steven, a half breed of human and an alien race called Gems and Ben, wielder of the Omnytrix, a device able to reform his DNA into that of multiple alien species. Yet, even past his scientific curiosity he would be willing to go so far as to call them his friends.

Their presence was not nearly as much of an annoyance as Dede’s; however it was still a hindrance to his work. He gave a sigh and leaned back into his chair. Rubbing at his eyes from under his glasses before giving them both an exasperated look. “What is it?” he questioned.

Steven’s eyes darted towards Ben before turning back to Dexter. He held a sad expression. No. Maybe sad was not the right word. Steven was always a very emotional man; Dexter noted. His face tended to always show off his thoughts like a clear window to his mind. A myriad of emotions constantly littered the hybrid’s features at any given moment. The idea of his heart living on his sleeve was incorrect, Dexter believed. Instead, it was much more likely that the letterman he wore almost religiously was made from the very thread of the man’s own soul. However, the amount of emotions all at once could also be a challenge to read. Instead of just one thought or feeling, everything was on constant display. Picking out what Steven was showing off was like deciphering a code in some cases.

Ben however, was a bit easier to get a read on. As his emotions tended to be relatively simplistic when they presented outwardly. Though, with his history, Dexter doubted his emotions were anything simple. But, when Ben was open with them they were much easier to understand. So, Dexter turned to the other in this case, hoping a better answer would lay in his features.

Ben’s own face showed a type of frustration. One that seemed intertwined with another emotion altogether. However, Dexter was not sure if he recognized it very well. Though, it was a similar one to whatever was entangled in Steven’s own furrowed brows.

“I read many languages,” Dexter began again with a huff. “Silence is not one of them.”

Steven frowned at that before finally speaking up, “When was the last time you slept?”

The question caught Dexter off guard. Slept? That was easy, he… Oh. Well, he knew he had taken some sort of a rest at some point. He vaguely recalled napping some odd number of hours ago. Even so, what did it matter? And of what concern was it to Steven or even Ben? He shook his head and gave a dismissive wave of his hand. “I sleep like a child nightly,” he lied. “Now if that is all you need-”

“How long has it been since you ate?” Ben stepped in next. “Like seriously ate. Like an actual meal.”

Dexter frowned at him in annoyance. What was this? An interrogation? “I do not know what it is the two of you are getting at, but my well being is of no one's concern but my own.”

Suddenly a buzzing sound started up as the gentle blue light fuzzed into existence behind him. Computress’ voice spoke, “It has been approximately seventy-two hours since Dexter’s last meal aside from coffee drank at 6:47am this morning. In the last four days he has slept approximately seven hours total.”

Dexter snapped to look over to the AI with a frown. “Betrayed by my own computer,” he grumbled to himself.

“Seriously, Dex?” Ben sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. Dexter registered what seemed to be disappointment both in his voice and expression.

“And this is why we’re here!” Steven declared with a smile. “You work yourself way too hard and we’re gonna make you take breaks from here on out.”

“Starting now,” Ben added on as Steven grabbed Dexter’s hands and pulled him from his seat.

“Hold it!” Dexter hissed out and he yanked his hands back. “Who do you two think you are? Barging into my lab and telling me what to do. I can take care of my own well being and it is of no concern to either of you.”

It was Ben’s turn to glance at Steven. That expression Dexter couldn’t pin down had returned to both of them. Ben then shook his head and replied, “We’re your friends, Dex. We’re always gonna be concerned about you.”

“Especially when you’re close to working yourself sick,” Steven added.

Dexter’s form straightened with a realization. That emotion in their faces. The one he had ignored due to the inability to name it. He suddenly realized what it was. Worry.

Dexter looked from the other two then back to his work. As if reading his thoughts, Computress’ voice buzzed back to life. “All current work has been saved under the proper files. Any new Fuse research has been sent to Mandark for peer review and his response is estimated to arrive sometime tomorrow morning. This means you are free for the rest of the night.”

“So,” Steven said with a smile. “You can relax for a bit!”

“Honestly, you deserve to. You do a lot,” Ben continued. “Maybe a bit too much on your own.”

Dexter gave a sigh. “Fine. I will rest for the night.”

Ben and Steven smiled at each other in success before each grabbing one of Dexter’s hands, leading him out of the lab.

After being separated for the night, the club manages to come back together. But there might have been some changes in that time.

[ID: A digital, black and white sketch of a done Lars carrying a sleep-deprived, sixteen-year-old Steven, who's outraged by this. Lars wears an apron, which indicates they're home. The dialogue goes like this:

Steven: What the heck?!

Lars: You're going to bed.

Steven: I'm 16!!!

Lars: Not an excuse.

Steven is blushing in embarrassment amidst his dark eyebags. /End ID]

For some reason the older teenager looking after the younger teenager trope is my jam and I wish this was canon in SUF

Story Idea

Okay, so I've been seeing so many new stories of Steve Harrington having powers or him being Finney Blake (both ideas that I love, send me more if you have them), so I want to throw some vague plot ideas and see who picks them in intrest or because they already had a similar idea, but just wanted to know if they had an audience for it because I still can't write dialogue. (Me, I'm your audience, write my little book mice)

1. Steve Harrington has self-healing, but because that's just a constant supply of new fast growth cell, he can focus and give himself extra limbs or accessories that way.

Imagen him playing D&D with the boys and dressing him for the part by giving himself elf ears or horns for a tiefling characters. Imagen him giving his arms and legs long ribbons so he can dance beautifully. Imagen the boys other and justified disgust when he cuts of those parts only for them to bleed because at the end of the day, those were extensions of himself.

2. Imagen him being Finnh Blake, but instead of them finding out through some magic video tape or something (as much as I am in love with those fics that exist), they find out because he's talking to himself one morning and they seem him and think he's going crazy, talking to himself. Only, they look up the names and realize these are real people and unravel the tale.

3. Steve but actually he's Steven Universe that was left on Earth at the start of Era 3 when the gems all left to Homeworld to go fix things there manually and Greg wanted to give him a normal life and had him stay there in Hawkins while he made cash as Sadie's manager. They find out because they've trying to convince a new member (Billy or Eddie, maybe both depending on the ships you like), that monsters are real. The kids have been keeping cameras on themselves since the 1st event to capture the events and see Stev subtly using his powers to help out. Maybe Steve using a bubble to protect himself and Dustin in the tunnels?

4. Steve is Finney Blake, but they find out because Gwen comes to visit after they were separated and he spends a full week only focusing on her (understandable, kidnapped then separated from your younger sister when the two of you were abused? I would be making up for lost time too), and everyone gets jealous only to comfront her when Steve isn't there and she spills some of it and then shenanigans and the rest is discovered.

5. Steve as Finney again, I really like this one, but they find out because Ell is using her powers while at a sleepover at Steve's. She ends up taping into his dreams and they all see him on screen talking to his friends as ghost.

6. Steve and Stevn again, but Ell is also a result of experiments infusing human blood stream with a cluster of gem shards. Steven cries because those are dead members of his court in her, and even though it's not her fault, he feels guilty that they're trapped in her. Also I just really like the mental image of a bunch of pebbles calling Steve "pink mom!" And the kids getting possessive

Happy November 3rd! I have three finished fics, and one in the process, as shown above, which you all might be interested in, pulling in some of my favorite animated / anime / manga characters!:

"Marceline and the Dark Blue-Eyed Teenager" [featuring Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline] [FINISHED]

"I Won't Let You Dominate Me!: Korra, the Tomboyish Princess, and Steamy Asami" [featuring Manaria Sousse, Korra, and Asami Sato, with Rae Taylor and Claire Francois mentioned] [FINISHED]

"Korra and Asami’s Unexpected Descent from the Sky, Rae and Claire’s Confusion, and May and Aleah’s Wonder" [featuring Korra, Asami, Rae Taylor, Claire Francois, May, and Aleah] [FINISHED]

"There’s A House for Everyone?: Korra, Asami, and the Crystal Temple" [featuring Korra, Asami, Lapis, Peridot, Pearl, Garnet] [In progress]

I also have loose plans for a possible crossover between LOK and my "Aphra's Sapphic Escapade Through the Stars" series, and another a resembling the two fics where Kuvira wins over Korra (in more ways than one, clearly dominating over her) but with a fight between Korra and Manaria which has her winning in the way she won over Rae.

So look forward to these upcoming stories!

Steven universe Rant? Thoughts? Fic idea? I don’t know either read it or don’t…

So I have been rewatching Steven Universe and I just got to the bismuth episode. But I realized that when Steven got home injured and told the gems he needed to tell them something. I think that conversation has a lot of potential for fanfics and what ifs scenarios. Cause in the show they don’t go into what was said they just show the gems putting the bubbled bismuth with the other bubbles.

BUT what was that conversation actually like?! It’s obvious from garnet and pearl’s reaction to reuniting with her that they cared for bismuth deeply. The entire episode supported that they were all very close and were quite upset when she went missing. So why would they leave her bubbled? The other bubbled gems were originally collected to try to cure them and they eventually gave up. Now they were collecting them to keep the earth safe because they were unreasonable and dangerous. But Bismuth wasn’t corrupted and with all of the gems on Steven’s side they should have been able to keep her under control enough to try and talk it out. I’m not saying it would have worked. I’m just surprised that despite how much they cared for her they didn’t even try to work things out.

I can’t help but feel like based on all of their characters there is some real potential for drama, angst, and disagreement on how to handle bismuth. I feel like Garnet might have split apart during this conversation. For multiple reasons but one being because either sapphire knew and didn’t tell anyone or she genuinely didn’t see it coming. In which case based on the later episode with cat Steven sapphire would have reacted poorly to not seeing something so important coming. And if she didn’t tell anyone why? Was it because she just wanted to enjoy seeing her friend as long as she could or was she uncertain about it in some way and didn’t want to speak up without being certain.

Ruby probably would have had a FIT feeling betrayed by Rose for not telling them about bismuth and by Bismuth for not informing them of it once she was back and attacking Steven essentially behind their backs. I also feel like she would have wanted to talk to bismuth to either tell her off or demand answers.

I feel pearl would have been in a bit of denial that bismuth would go that far or that she was a danger to others. Or at least tried to convince the other gems to try and let pearl talk to bismuth to try and sort things out or fix them herself. I don’t think it would be as straight forward as just informing her that bismuth was bubbled now and needed to stay that way.

I don’t think amethyst would have as big of a reaction to this as the others but I do think she would have said something to the effect of “I told you” or “I KNEW IT”. Since she did find Bismuth suspicious in the beginning. And if any of them had tried to argue to unbubble bismuth to talk to her I think amethyst would have been the biggest voice to disagree. Not only due to her lack of relationship with bismuth but also because she would want to protect Steven. She might worry that garnet and pearl would be too emotionally involved to make the right decision. I think even Steven might have been possible to convince to let bismuth out to talk but amethyst would not let it happen to protect him.

Even if they were all convinced to leave bismuth bubbled in the temple. What was their plan? Were they really going to leave bismuth bubbled forever just for the crime of disagreeing with and feeling betrayed by rose? Or were they hoping to try to convince her later? What if they had just unbubbled her regularly to try to convince her and bubbled her again if she refused to cooperate? After all unlike the other bubbled gems bismuth was still cognitively aware and could potentially be reasoned with. Not saying this would be a good idea as it would be kind of cruel and likely wouldn’t be helpful but it’s an interesting thought.

I also can’t help but wonder about the potential for one of the gems to come back for her later. Either to try and convince her themselves or to just let her go, or even just to try and talk to her and she escapes. What if in one of these ways she was unbubbled what then? Would bismuth become a villain? Maybe constantly trying to kill Steven? Or just causing problems because she was not well adjusted to modern life after being locked away for 5000+ years.

If bismuth did have a grudge against Steven or even all of the crystal gems would there have been a possibility of her teaming up with Jasper? What would that have looked like? Even without fusion involved that would essentially be the best soldier working with the best weapon smith. That could have been a crazy team up! And if fusion was involved that would have been even crazier!

Both Jasper and bismuth are built, made to look sturdy, strong, and big. So them fused I feel like would have to be huge and stacked. Bismuth’s rainbow hair plus jaspers arm and face stripes would have looked cool. Would her hair be dreads or jaspers voluminous locks. She would have to be deadly looking but well balanced due to both of them being hands on fighters.

I don’t think bismuth was ever shown to have a weapon that comes out of her gem like the others. So I’m not sure what weapon this fusion would have other than just jaspers helmet. But one idea I had was that maybe a fusion with bismuth instead of creating a new weapon combing 2 weapons maybe it upgrades the other gems weapon. And because bismuth uses shapeshifting a lot to make her self a weapon it would allow a fusion with her to draw her weapon from any part of her body instead of just her gem.

So for Jasper she could have an upgraded helmet, or full armor, or could move her armor around as she fought. It could turn into a gauntlet when punching only for it to reform on chest or shoulder to protect against an attack or a boot when she kicks. I don’t know but I thought it was an interesting idea.

But all that to say now I am feeling really interested in looking into fics or possibly writing a fic about the Bismuth conversation. Also because I can’t draw like at all I would love to see any art people have made for a Jasper bismuth fusion.

Ashly Burch’s Contribution to LGBTQ+ Representation

Four of Ashly Burch's roles, all of which are canon LGBTQ characters

Recently, Ashly Burch, a well-recognized voice actress, singer, and writer, came out as pan and queer. Taking into account this development, I decided to examine some of her past roles and offer my thoughts on her contributions.

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog on Feb. 11, 2023, and Wayback Machine. This was the forty-eighth article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on July 30, 2022.

On July 1st, Ashly Burch came out as pan and queer, saying she is "old fashioned pansexuals". She added that this is not a shock because half the characters she plays are "members of the rainbow fam" and added more in a longer thread.

Burch has added herself to the list of other LGBTQ+ voice actors who have voiced LGBTQ+ characters in media. There's Anna Akana, a bisexual actress of Japanese and Filipino descent. She recently voiced Sasha Waybright in Amphibia and Daisy in Magical Girl Friendship Squad. Both characters are bisexual.

A non-binary actor, Iris Menas, has voiced non-binary characters in various Disney series. Ian-Jones Quartey, a bisexual creator, has voiced various characters, including Radicles "Rad" in his series, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. Abbi Jacobson, a bisexual actress, voiced a bisexual princess named Bean in Disenchantment. She also voiced a lesbian woman named Katie Mitchell in The Mitchells Vs. the Machines.

In many ways, Burch is definitely a queer icon. Apart from her video game voice roles, live-action roles, commercial roles, and dubbing roles, there are five roles that stand out to me. This article focuses on those roles and their significance in LGBTQ+ representation.

Ash in Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'

Ashly with her beauties in Season 1 - Finale Part 1 of Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'

In May 2008, the series Hey Ash Whatcha Playin' first premiered on Destructoid. It would garner tens of millions of views. The series used surreal humor and sibling rivalry with her brother Anthony. Each episode focused on video games, and their themes, trends, and societal impacts. In 2011, the series began airing on YouTube. Papa Burch, Burch's actual father, and Ashley "Leigh" Davis, who becomes Anthony's girlfriend, also appear. Guest stars include Burch's mother and many others.

Many episodes had queer themes. One implies that Burch had sex with sex workers. In another, she says things can be "really gay" when everything becomes male genitalia. The icing on the cake was when she struggled with the homophobia exhibited by Orson Scott Card, whose ideas inspired the game, Shadow Complex.

In the show's second season, Anthony had gay sex through a message board. Ashly asked her dad for help with "lady problems" (i.e. liking a lot of women). Some episodes had Ashly joking about how brains are "gay" and defending her brother as a person who doesn't bash gay people. Others included dildos, Papa Burch coming up with imagined gay scenarios, or defense of female characters.

One episode stands out from the lot, the one where Ashly says she likes pretty girls and runs away when she sees a girl she likes. Later episodes have Ash loving a female villain-of-sorts or portray her losing her cool when people use the word "lesbians".

Enid in OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes

Enid (left) and Red Action (right) in an episode of OK K.O.!

Burch is known for her role as Enid Mettle in this action-adventure-comedy animated series by Ian Jones-Quartey, Rebecca Sugar's husband. In the series, Enid is a bisexual woman previously in a relationship with Radicles "Rad". She is later Red Action's girlfriend.

Enid has a key role in OK K.O.! as a witch and a ninja all in one. She also fights villains and works at Gar's Bodega. Burch has voiced Enid in almost all her appearances apart from the original pilot. She has been the subject of much fan art and over 700 fan fics.

Somewhat like Enid is Lainey in Loud House, who Burch also voiced. Lainey is dating another character, a woman named Alice. Unlike OK K.O.!, Lainey only appears in two episodes. In the former series, she becomes very romantic with Red Action, a lesbian character voiced by actress, comedian, and model Kali Hawk.

Ash in Final Space

Evra (left) and Ash (right) in an episode of Final Space

Burch is less known for her role as Ash Graven, who has the same first name as her. In the series, Ash is a humanoid alien who strikes up a romance with Evra (Jasmin Savoy Brown), a genderless being, in the Season 3 episode "Forgiveness". They sit together in a romantic moment, watching lights that resemble the aurora borealis.

Before this, she says she hates a man named Jordan Hammerstein with all her guts. This hints that she is a lesbian rather than  "ambiguously bi," as I noted in my review of the series. In that review, I noted a podcast where show creator Olan Rogers confirmed Ash as an LGBTQ character. At the time, Rogers said he would expand the relationship between Evra and Ash if he had another season.

Ash is only one of the many LGBTQ characters in the series, although the others are recurring characters rather than protagonists. Unlike Enid, she becomes an antagonist, and villain, akin to Cassandra "Cass" (Eden Espinosa) in Tangled. She is a character as complex as Cass while both are exploited by someone else who plays on her trauma triggers.

Rutile Twins in Steven Universe

Rutile Twins (right) brings Lars and Steven to the Prime Kindergarten where Off Colors are hiding out in their debut episode.

In a little-known role, Burch voiced a non-binary Gem fusion named Rutile Twins in Steven Universe. She later said she was "extremely honored" to be on the show. Unlike the other characters she voiced, these characters are non-binary women, as are all Gems as Rebecca Sugar confirmed in a 2018 article. So that makes this character unique beyond any others mentioned in her resume.

In an interesting trivia, since Burch voices both components of the character, they have the same voice, but with different tones. The same is the case for the Amethysts, all voiced by Michaela Dietz, or all the Rubies voiced by Charlyne Yi. Real-life rutiles are said to help with the stabilization of emotions and relationships. They reportedly evoke romantic feelings and aid with handling past trauma.

The Rutile Twins are outcasts who are part of a group of Gems ostracized by society, the Off Colors. These Twins later join Lars Barriga, and the other Off Colors, traveling through space, and living on Earth. In Steven Universe Future, the Off Colors graduate from Steven's school for Gems, known as Little Homeschool.

Molly in The Ghost and Molly McGee

Andrea (left) and Molly (right) in the "Andrea Song Takeover"

Burch voices a lead character named Molly McGee. Unlike her other roles, Molly is half-Thai and half-Irish, like Burch in real life. The series incorporates Thai culture into storylines and helps educate viewers about Thai culture.

In The Ghost and Molly McGee, Molly befriends a ghost named Scratch after moving to the Midwestern town of Brighton with her father, mother, and brother. Also appearing in the series is Molly's grandmother. She meets many friends there. This includes a Latine and Jewish girl named Libby Stein-Torres (Lara Jill Miller). She also has a geeky friend Sheela (Aparna Nancherla) and a sweet pink-haired friend, Kat (Eden Riegel).

Although Molly is not a canon queer character, some fans have shipped her with her frenemy, Andrea Davenport (Jules Medcraft), with their ship being Mollandrea. Others have shipped her with Libby Stein-Torres, with their ship called Mollibby. This ship has been denied by Bob Roth, a show creator, who said that LGBTQ representation unfolds naturally in the series.

Closing thoughts

There are many other characters Burch has voiced or played since her career began in 2007. She voiced Josette Grey in Blackford Manor and Tiny Ghost in Chainsaw Richard. She offered her voice as Lila Twinklepipes in Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Meadow Springs in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, and Miss Pauling in Expiration Date, along with others in Over the Garden Wall and We Bare Bears.

She is further known for voicing Bun Bun and Breezy in Adventure Time, Ridley in Glitch Techs, and Cass Wizard in Bee and PuppyCat. Recently, she played Rachel in Mythic Quest who is in a relationship with a Black woman named Dana (Imani Hakim).

Many of these roles aren't canon LGBTQ+ characters. However, since Burch came out as pan and queer, this could lead to new interpretations of these characters. Burch was also a writer for "Shadows at the Gates", the fourth episode of The Legend of Vox Machina, a mature animated series filled with LGBTQ+ characters and based on the Critical Role podcast.

In the end, Ashly Burch will likely continue to voice queer characters, working with other such actors to continue improving queer representation in media.
