(Steve Saga)

Rainbow Steve, about Galaxy Steve: Is there no way we can get rid of him?

Sabre: Not without cause, Rainbow Steve.

Rainbow Steve: I have cause. It is because I hate him.

Steve Saga AU where this was the ending of the Rainbow Pickaxe episodes:

Sabre: There, we turned you back to normal.

Rainbow Steve: Thank goodness.

Galaxy Steve:

Galaxy Steve: Wouldn't it be so funny if we trick Void Steve into going into this machine and activating it?

Purple here with a thought I just had 🟪🎃

So we all know Nightmare was a normal Yellow Steve before absorbing a Red Steve, right? And we also know he did experiments in his castle (which in my opinion, could have been made a bit better but he probably just wanted something good enough to do stuff in so he didn't care for the quality)

Well, two experiments of Nightmare that Sabre, Lucas, and Rainbow encountered, were Positive and Negative Steve. And what were their colors? Red and Yellow. The exact colors of Nightmare.

Nightmare obviously has some connections to those two colors, and for known reasons. But why specifically did he try and make Positive and Negative Steve. He could use any other color to make hybrids, but he chose a Yellow and Red Steve to make those two. But for what reasons?

Did he want clones? Did he want a new successor other than Dark? What did he want, and why?

And what did those two go through? While being scared seems like an obvious reason to attack the Rainbow Town, Sabre and his friends never showed a threat to them. Did they attack out of fear? Jealousy? Control? What did they experience and was it why they attacked the town.

They also had a chance to become their normal selves when making a machine. But instead they chose to merge together to make Infinity. They could have been free as soon as they finished the machine, and maybe even sooner if they didn't attack the Rainbow Town.

What were their goals? Why were their goals that way? Why didn't they just escape or something? If they feared Nightmare, then they could have ran and asked Sabre, Rainbow, and Lucas for help. But they decided to attack, and merge themselves.

They had so many opportunities to be free if they had a hatred for Nightmare, that they never took. Even if they never wanted Nightmare dead, and just wanted to be away from him, they could have asked Rainbow and his friends because Rainbow's whole goal is to stop Nightmare.

TSS!Nightmare for the ask game

First impression: Back in TSS's early days, it was all about the novelty of a new Steve type to Elan, so as far as character goes, there wasn't much to get a first impression of. Other than that, I kinda just wanted to know what his powers were.

Impression now: Sad old grandpa. The scene with the Red Steve in the machine actually made me so sad, and seeing him in the Spirit Realm with Rainbow moved me I'm ngl.

Favorite moment: His fight with Sabre sticks out to me for some reason. Maybe it was that one KiwiQueen animation from years ago. It wasn't as technically impressive as any of his and Rainbow's fights, but the scenery really did it for me, I think.

Idea for a story: I think there needs to be a fic about him trying to bond with Hypno in the Spirit Realm, but all Hypno wants to do is hang out with Rainbow. It would be funny. Maybe a little sad, but still funny.

Unpopular opinion: I still don't know how I feel about him having been Elemental's puppet for most of his screentime, since at no point was it ever hinted at, and I liked that he was just straight up evil. Ultimately, it meant he went to the Spirit Realm, which is great, but it makes his crimes less interesting to me.

Favorite relationship: Hard to choose. Honestly, Nightmare seems so closed off for the most part. We know more about how other characters feel about him than vice versa, but I like to think about how bad of a father he might've been to Dark. Obviously we have the scene near the end of Origins where he threatened to kill him, but what other stuff could we have missed that Rainbow didn't see? I also really like BeeFlower, but I imagine it to be completely one-sided. Nightmare did Eebs a favor; it wasn't his fault that Eebs decided to fall in love with him about it, unprompted. Then there's him and Elemental.. whatever they're dynamic could be, I am unable to comprehend it. They're something to each other. Something weird. Rainbow ends up being the one with the healthiest relationship with Nightmare out of all the ones I listed, which I guess is grounds for favortism since I like when things work out and people can be friends, but they're all so interesting to think about.

Favorite headcanon: That Red Steve he absorbed was his boyfriend.

Do you think Rainbow Steve's voice reveal in the Nightmare dimension helped set the stage for the success of the Steve Saga and the subsequent release of RQ, SL, and TR?

Probably, it was what caught my attention the most back when I was younger and had just found the steve saga. Also the voice made Rainbow feel more like a person and easier to get attached to

Rewatching early tss is crazy because everything is so much oompher if you think about it too hard.

That. That original blue Steve. From the first not deleted Steve saga video. From Sabre’s perspective he was a ruthless killer but… from his own perspective. He probably knew about Nightmare. Knew the situation was bleak. Knew the only way to possibly defeat Nightmare was to bring back Rainbow. He probably followed ancient scriptures to do so. Maybe from that temple he was in. I bet he knew in order to summon Rainbow he’d never see the light of day again. I bet he was willing to make that sacrifice in order to save Steve kind.

And then Light Steve. Oughhhhh my boy light. Sabre is basically his dad. I hc him as small and baby too so like AUGHHHH PAIN IN MY HEART💥💥💥💥💥💥 He was scared and shy and afraid. So new to the world. And he still fought Dark to defend Sabre, his dad and only friend, from danger.

Rainbow. He must’ve been so scared and confused while being experimented on. Literally memoryless after like 7 thousand years of sleeping. The first thing he sees when he wakes up is this THING that isn’t a Steve. This THING this UNIDENTIFIED CREATURE . So he attacks!!! With the powers he’s still learning he has!!!!!!! And sabre’s like “yep he’s the bad guy. Time to rip him apart chromatic steve by chromatic Steve” WAUGHHHHH 🔌🔌🔌🔌🍴🍴🍴⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥💥

crying sobbing throwing up crying again

Then there’s Sabre slowly realizing what he’s doing is wrong. Realizing he’s the bad guy. Letting Rainbow go and protecting Light . Or. Trying to. He kind of failed Light died like 5 times

If you think about it, the majority of Sabre’s arc in tss is a redemption arc. He’s saving the steves to make up for the red Steve he murdered, the steves he chased and scared and trapped and experimented on. Especially Rainbow. I imagine that even when Rainbow died, Sabre felt like he hadn’t done enough. Hadn’t made up for the torture he put Rainbow through. And he’s destroyed forever by that.

The Rainbow Town really was a sanctuary for Steves. A home. I imagine countless nights spent under the stars. Rainbow going to bed and Lucas assuring Sabre, again and again, he had made up for it, done better, saved so many, helped so many, and Sabre always said it wasn’t enough. They had to do more.

Auguhhhhhhfhhfhfhdjewhbajskdntjdishehsjsje my TSS heart hasn’t recovered since October 15th 2017

[incorrectstevesagaquotes]

Hypno Steve, looking at a photo of Rainbow Steve's room: That’s Fake Sabre there?

Rainbow Steve: Yes.

Hypno Steve: In a tiny bed. Besides your bed.

Rainbow Steve: Yes.

Hypno Steve: That's pretty embarrassing.

Rainbow Steve: Yeah, I should have gotten Fake Sabre a better bed.

Au idea: what if the antivirus was in "water you doing"

Sabre: *sees a Blue Steve* Ok, that's understandable! I'm starting to get Steves now.

Sabre: *sees Rainbow Steve* Wow, this guy is terrifying! But it's another Steve. Nothing I can't handle.

Sabre: *sees the Antivirus* WHAT IS THAT?! -

(serious note: doesn't fire affect the Antivirus? Unless fire only affects the Virus...

In either case, I think with fire being associated with the Antivirus (or Virus) and water being associated with Rainbow Steve, I think there's potential for a cool water vs fire match up.

...imagine if Rainbow Steve found the Virus trapped in the firewall and extinguished the fire just to spite Sabre.)

The urge to headcanon sabre and rainbow as queer platonic vs the urge to headcanon them as a cute little romantic couple vs fve urge to headcanon them as absolute mfing besties r going to war rn also sos I'm typing thus w just my thumb this id hell

Reaction Post to Skittle Steve's Creation And First Time Meeting People

https://youtu.be/TmHD-GkKUpA?si=uUs6Dkb8nAl0Ph84

https://youtu.be/bdGhIEXW03E?si=U9IXw3PMlbmH0cuK (I know the whole story of The Steve Saga, but haven't even gotten close to seeing all of Origins, so I'm gonna watch this in timeline order.)

This reaction post format is inspired by @illusion-reality-steve, go read Stress's posts if you like The Steve Saga.

Hm, so Rainbow Steve is basically a last resort. Maybe even an act of desperation. Interesting.

So, Rainbow was created in this place, I don't see any hoppers or anything. Doesn't really look like a machine.

This part looks like a meeting room, and for some reason Rainbow Steve's "storage tank" leads right into it? Odd.

He apparently doesn't know what a table is? I mean I guess he has an excuse, having just obtained consciousness, but he knows what paintings are though?

He really does not like thunder, to be fair though, it is an indication of power here, so I guess that makes sense.

"Wait a second, who am I?", wasn't expecting that, he must have so many questions. "Why don't I remember anything? [...] I don't even know my name." Yep, here comes the emotional damage.

Interesting that Rainbow Steve expects someone else to be there, perhaps this ties into memories of the Elders that created him. Could he hold their memories, deep, deep down?

So, like, do steves... bleed or is this redstone? We see so little of this place it's hard to tell.

Rainbow Steve is out here avoiding that hallway and his problems like Neo from The Matrix. Also, yep, no redstone up here, how in the world did the Elders create this steve?

Not even RBS knows what the stuff on the floor is.

Okay, no, seriously, what is is this place? It's just on the side of a mountain.

Welp, guess he's RIPbow Steve now. (Also, he had so much time to avoid that.)

Wow, sure is convenient that Green was casually strolling through the area.

Rainbow Steve just casually starts catastrophizing, lol.

Ha, he tries to be intimidating, scares Green and immediately goes back on that idea. He's too nice /pos.

Rainbow seemed to have forgotten that he's only been one other place when he said he didn't recognize Green's house.

Nature rectangle man lives in a big ol' tree. That's genuinely pretty cool.

Ah, a Tree of Life, just like the Rainbow Tree of Life, but seemingly much smaller and made of actual wood. Wonder if we'll learn more about these.

That moment when Rainbow Steve is born knowing what chimneys are, but not tables.

Is "The Steve Realm" implying there's realms for other beings or is it just the overworld and then places like the Spirit Realm are the only others? I mean Sabre went through multiple servers before reaching the main one with Rainbow Steve.

And Rainbow Steve gets his name, ironically with the same thought process Sabre went through.

Rainbow Steve listed a bunch of possible steves, let's see what he got right:

Red Steve, yep

Blue Steve, yep, both part of the big 3.

Brown Steve, nope, would've been cool though.

Yellow Steve, yep

Purple Steve, yep

Orange Steve, not until the reboot buddy.

Red Steves just out here getting casually generalized as being aggressive.

The immediate realization Rainbow Steve has when saying Green can be a tree person is glorious.

He is here, if I hadn't already seen the first 4 episodes of this, I'd guess who "he" was (maybe I'd even think he was Reverse or Shadow), but since I have seen these first 4, I'll conclude the post here.

Have a nice day!
