What if, as a counterpart to Steven Universe's Gem race, there was a race of Metals who had a hybrid of their very own?

Aren't most gems metals?
I think Bismuth is technically a metal irl, but beyond that I can't remember anyone else
Though we're probably just not going to use any metal types that were already mentioned/used in SU, if there are any more
Pretty sure most gems contain metals seeing as how the vast majority of the periodic table is made of metals
Most gems are either crystal rock or some organic substance. Not too much metal in a lot of what are gemstones.
Furthermore it's not really what they're talking about; outside of Bismuth there's no Gold, Tin, Platinum, Iron, Lead or Mercury character.
It's just Bismuth. Everything else is just a rock or clam snot. That frees with you up with most of the periodic table.
Is this like the Honey Bee threads where we come up with swapped versions of different events and characters?
Nah, it's less of a rehash and more of a...kind of like a fanfiction thing. But it's good, real fun
Kind of, kind of not.
These threads started off as "What if there was a rival race to Gems?", which left to creation of "Anti-Steven" in the form of Stella.
Think of it as UltraPrison to the original SU's SuperJail.
Yes, and she's a terminally depressed quadriplegic.
She can walk sometimes, at least! Just needs the cane
Alice is great, she was an astronaut with a hobby of sculpting before the accident, and she's a caring mother
>sometimes
Only on a good day.
And the periods between those only grow larger and larger...
So what's the lore here? Is there a sexy single milf stand in for Greg?
a collection of previous threads for those that are interested.

one of these days, i will start cataloging all of the stuff that was in these threads. things like characters, powers, factions, stuff like that. there is so much in there that a Cinemaphilellection page might be needed too.
>there is so much in there that a Cinemaphilellection page might be needed too
I've been meaning to make one for the longest time now, but I never got around to it.
Maybe tomorrow.
How does the Metal Empire work? I don't remember any discussions about it before.
I always thought of it like the Star League where there are multiple factions with their own territories and they are held together in an alliance.
It's similar, I think
A bunch of smaller groups and metal men held together by the strongest ones, being Titanium White and those directly under him.
Also GOLD because at this point the shiny bastard embedded himself into the political system through being so influential
Did each member of the Titanium Authority come from their own factions or is are they under Titanium White before he united the MM under one banner?
I guess it would be closer to the USA where each territory has its own ruler but they all answer to a higher authority. Makes me think how often rebellions happen inside the empire.
>makes me think how often rebellions happen inside the empire
Not very often, since Authority's is not as rigid as one might think.
In fact, it would not be incorrect to say that it's actually lenient to a fault.
The Chrome and Lead homeworlds would probably not be considered lost if it were to exercise a bit more oversight in the past.
I forgot that the MM is the opposite of Homeworld's strict society. Where every group can have their own actions and make their own decisions.
But if the Titanium Authority is a bit too lenient to allow those planets to be lost without much of a care, how often does infighting happen to the smaller factions under their control? When do they step in to stop the bickering?
>But if the Titanium Authority is a bit too lenient to allow those planets to be lost without much of a care, how often does infighting happen to the smaller factions under their control? When do they step in to stop the bickering?
My take is that, despite the fractured nature of their empire, they still posses enough social cohesion to not escalate things to such extent.
They're not the ultrahomogenous Gems, but they still posses enough reason to recognise how counterproductive infighting on such scale would be.
IIRC there's a main governing body in the form of Titanium Authority with a lot of smaller autonomous tribes (Bronze warriors, Chromes and so on)
From what I remember from the old threads, the Metal Empire is a collection of different territories, fiefdoms, and collectives all broadly under the banner of the Titanium White who rules as a first-among-equals alongside Plutonum Green, Carbon Black, and Gold who represent some of the largest factions. There was also some discussion about each of those major figures being in charge of different segments of the Metal Empire's economy
>Carbon Black is in charge of general weapons R&D
>Plutonium Green is in charge of energy and sciences and anti-gem weapons R&D
>Gold is in charge of commerce because he's a greedy frick
Unlike the Gem Empire's authoritarianism, the Metal Empire's leadership is pretty hands off on government so there's a great deal of cultural diversity in the empire both for better and worse
>the Chrome Collective becoming Sky-Net but schizo
>the Lead's Murder-Cube God of War
>the Bronze Legion's never ending crusading
You know, I’ll always love the fact that the mudercube is a sentient deity that constantly craves bloodshed from all.
And now that human espers exist, the murdercube has translators.
>The Murdercube's translations are written down
>"KILLKILLKILLSPILLTHEIRCORES man my fifth side itches like crazy DEATHMURDERWAR"
>"So, what does it say?"
>"It... just wants to murder everything."

>Life resumes as normal because the leads were technically doing that already
>Stella: "Sheesh, how can you guys WORSHIP this thing?!"

So how’s about we also discuss the interesting idea of other super humans existing especially since we’ve got a nice system going with the categories of
>Hybrid
>cyborg
>esper
>PK user
>seer
>strong
>firestarter
>mutant (includes any serums)
Not just supers, but also the woman who controls them, except Stella yet
>GL saved Stella by fusing with her
>no one is quite sure how he did it, since that's not exactly MM fusions work
Should we explore this further or leave it for interpretation?
Cause I have some ideas regarding that moment.
I would like to hear your ideas though I always saw it less as fusion and more if emergency transplant
Basically:
>GL meets Rose Quartz hundreds of years before the event of the show
>they begin discussing humanity and if it's could/shold be saved
>during their dialogue, RQ manages to instill a bit of the love that caused her to betray the Gempire into GL, who beforehand only viewed humanity as a bunch of interesting animals that he wouldn't hurt without reason but neither put himself in harm's way for
>RQ also reveals to him that she's planning to bare a human child that she'll give her life for
>GL is taken aback by that, since the thought of a being such as her (he's deduced that she's actually PD) sacrificing herself for such species feels inconceivable
>they discuss it some more and they stike a bargain: RQ gives GL the essence of life, her tears (which were used to both make a synthetic Stella sperm as well as Pyrite's tube, as MM are understandably not very adept in anything biological) so he could start a family of his own in exchange of him promising to fight for Earth just like her
>fast forward to the incident
>Stella is badly injured
>GL has some of the tears left on him, but it's nowhere near enough to heal a destroyed chest cavity and missing limbs
>GL makes a decision
>he melts himself and mixes himself with leftover tears to become "life" so that he wouldn't just cook his already dying daughter alive
>due to that, Stella is a product of both Gem and Metal abilities, which explains her transmutation and weapon manifestation
That's the general idea.
It's been already discussed that MM shapeshifting is MUCH more limited than Gem one.
There's no reason to assume they can just do something that when they can't even fuse without killing themselves.
I don't know, I dislike the idea of Stella being a mix of Metal and Gem abilities. Transmutation was agreed upon to be a Gold thing in general. GL and RQ meeting is an interesting idea though.
>It's been already discussed that MM shapeshifting is MUCH more limited than Gem one
I didn't mean shapshifting, I meant quite literally killing himself by his passion heating his core and melting himself down completely
It's not actual, conscious shape-shifting
But then again; the exact method wasn't talked about at great length, so it's pretty much up to whatever an anon headcanons
>I didn't mean shapshifting, I meant quite literally killing himself by his passion heating his core and melting himself down completely
>It's not actual, conscious shape-shifting
He'd still need to shift into the set of working organs that Stella's organism wouldn't reject.
Also, it's not like that would mean she's quater-gem-quater-metal, Gem abilities are simply what made the process possible in the first place.
Transmutation can still remain a Gold thing despite that.
I like it, the idea that Stella isn’t part gem but still uses a tiny bit of their power to regenerate those body parts
Also Stella triumphantly shouting that part of her came from the only straight gem
I always thought that Gold melted himself down with pure will to save Stella, since by then the biggest passion in his life would have been his family, and Metal Men are ruled by passion
Gold Leaf, I mean.
My understanding was that he literally turned into her heart since her original one got destroyed in the car crash. Imagine a human entering a vegetative state and getting hooked up to a sick person’s kidneys in order to act as a full-time living dialysis machine.
Just, you know, less horrific.

What if Steven nutted inside Valentina
Autism on a grand scale
You really wanna open up that can of worms friend?
Why not?
Valentina is so evil that her womb automatically kills all sperm
She would probably experiment if they had a kid
Makes me wonder if Carol has any inhuman traits. Nothing super just maybe some fangs or night vision from her father’s experimental stuff
She desperately wants it because her mother may pay interest in her but alas she’s just a constant letdown
In Valentina’s eyes there is little worse than having some super trait that’s useless. Because at least a regular human could become super.
She sees it the way some people in One Piece see defective smiles.
What a b***h. Poor Carol
We always knew she was a b***h. Emotionally abusing her daughter just comes with it.
>superhuman Carol
Pls no
Yeah, it was more of a joke there is nothing physically special about Carol. She’s a dime a dozen Stacy
She bleaches her vegana every night?
Carol would be the one actually watching the kid
Carol is made for suffering.
The funny part is that Valentina might actually feed the kid if they have powers
Carol must be really begging for that power armor now.

Yes, though we also wanted to showcase they are led by one good man herding three psychopaths
Also metals don’t poof
>Gem-Metal hybrid monsters?
That would be pretty curious.
Seems like one of the experiments Plutonim Green would conduct.
I see them less as Gem-Metal hybrids and more like Metals being given more power using gems as a power source.
>a gem(s) gets integrated into a MM core
>he starts developing robot schizophrenia/personality disorder due to another being being forcefully inserted into his consciousness
Hot
Imagine a corrupted one.
Corrupted Metals should have more of a "rusted" appearance
>>Gem-Metal hybrid monsters?
>That would be pretty curious.
>Seems like one of the experiments Plutonim Green would conduct.
On the contrary, given Plutonium Green's all consuming hatred of Gems, Gem-Metal hybridization might be the one line he isn't willing to cross unless he planned to use it as a fate worse than death on someone he hates just as much as the Gems.
As for Gems as tools,
that's a completely different story. One headcanon I've had for a long time is that Plutonium fancies himself to be something of a israeliteeler, making a hobby of taking gems (both living and inanimate) and cutting and polishing them down for use in trinkets. Of course, there's the implication that this is part of his torture porn fetish but there's a practical element as he's discovered (through much experimentation) how to isolate the part of the gem that produces their weapons and keeps a set of israeliteelry for use as a trophy case/armory.
>on the contrary, given Plutonium Green's all consuming hatred of Gems, Gem-Metal hybridization might be the one line he isn't willing to cross unless he planned to use it as a fate worse than death on someone he hates just as much as the Gems.
While sadism certainly plays a part, what if he's using Gems in his experiments because he sees "the bigger picture"?
Unlike Carbon Black who only cares about performance, what if Plutonium's goals in playing God were more... esoteric?
After all, Gems and Metals were made by the same creator...
>what if he's using Gems in his experiments because he sees "the bigger picture"?
This feels a bit out of character for him. As part of the contrast to the Gems, the Metal Men all have relatively simple, emotionally driven motivations
>Carbon Black = bloodlust
>Plutonium Green = revenge/love
>Gold = greed
>Red metal = fear
While Plutonium Green is a scientist, he doesn't seem like the type to go full God I Am mode unless he's somehow trying to bring his lover back from the dead, which is something he's presumably tried before given the knowledge and resources at his disposal.
That said, I'm not excluding the possibility that one how his subordinates may feel like their leader, for all his power and brilliance, is too limited and attempt to unravel the secrets of the Gem/Metal connection.
And if he succeeded it may mean accidentally waking up the Shadows and giving them a foothold.
>as part of the contrast to the Gems, the Metal Men all have relatively simple, emotionally driven motivations
But wouldn't a more nuanced reason foe why he does it result in a better narrative?
Hust because Carbon wants to kill shit with his bare hands doesn't meant Plutonium's motivation should be just as basic.
>Some gems defecting to the metals
i remember a story-concept a long while back of a mercenary duo hired by GOLD. they are made up of an iron marksman and a peridot spotter that can help correct the iron's shots when needed. it would be nice to see more of those two or other gems teaming up with metals.

Good times
SHE
Metallical
How good will Carol be in a combat situation when given a gun? Is she a crackshot or will she have shit aim? The picture or Iron training her makes me think she is the former than the latter.
She'd probably just be good enough to fend for herself for a short while.
Remember, she's neither a soldier nor a superhuman.
I can actually imagine her complaining about her delicate arms being sore after shooting a gun due to recoil.
She’s gonna need that armor just to use a gun
MM guns probably have modifyable weight, considering the type of tech they employ.
Same with recoil, but only to the extent where they make little girl hands sore in the morning instead of ripping them out of the sockets.
Good point. But it still probably hurts a lot more due to Carol’s physical situation
Is that the world but on stilt high heels?
That is PRECISELY what it is.
How can he run without breaking the heels??
Practice and ample lesser metals to break his fall.
Speaking of Khorne, I think his character would be more interesting if he actually enjoyed being a warlord in the past. Even moreso if there's still a part of him that does, with main difference being that his priorities have shifted towards taking care of Stella instead.
Metal Men tech.
I don't have to explain shit.

>The Metals are responsible for the current cracked Gem Homeworld
No clue what to do with this or where to go, just thought it could be neat
It's been established that the Metal Empire and the Gem Empire have been at war with each other pretty much since their inceptions. The intensity of that conflict has waxed and waned overtime, going from periods of total war to border skirmishes, largely dependent on who is in power at the time.
If the Metal Men are responsible for the crack on Homeworld it was made in one of their earliest conflicts before the cold war status quo really crystalized, possibly during the reign of Adamantium.
Personally, however, I always interpreted the big crack on Homeworld as something self-inflected. An experiment gone wrong or the byproduct of over extraction of the world's resources caused it to destabilize and nearly split apart until the Diamonds slapped a band-aid over it. It's a metaphor for the Gem Empire as a whole, their reckless greed and arrogance is eating away at their foundations but their leadership is too damn proud to stop it let alone reverse the damage so instead they do the barest minimum to prop up the system and carry on.

Wouldn't Leads be closer to Malal, since they seek (self-)destruction for it's own sake rather than the glory of combat?
Leads do not seek self-destruction. Only combat and glory through the use of guns and cannons. They probably hold some respect to those who make guns though.
>Leads do not seek self-destruction
They don't.
Last time we've talked about them there was that entire thing about how most of them are literally insane and how they kill only to be killed.
*They don't?
I think it's less seeking self destruction and moreso
>Eyup, imma kill a bunch of ya and then some prick's gonna get the best of me
Sort of an acceptance that they're going to get ganged eventually, but not seeking it.
I know she’s new and not very discussed, but I liked the idea of Blanche as someone who’s equal in strength to Stella, and not evil but still opposed to her for very personal reasons
>Blanche as someone who’s equal in strength to Stella
Stella has Gold Leaf running through her veins. It would be more appropriate to have her on the same strength level of Carol. If not a bit stronger.
Well, Blanche is psychokinetic, so physically she’s a lot weaker than Stella but her power is enough to hold her.

Anons: if you had to choose a favorite character, who would it be?
My favorite is GOLD, his ego is my favorite part about him
Probably Pyrite cause she’s a little rage fueled gremlin Boba Fett
Alice.
Still my favorite bit of character writing from any of these threads.
This is gold, right?
Whats the rationale for this design?
>Whats the rationale for this design?
A jojo reference
We started out with a lot of references for designs because we hadn't fleshed them out yet, so until we did we were imagining certain characters or people
I see, what's his relationship with other characters?
also this is when JAM project or Dragonforce kicks in.
GOLD is an incredibly arrogant antagonist who is pretty much antagonistic with everyone due to his narcissistic tendencies
this might just be my uninformed point of view since I haven't read up too much on the lore, but I kind of wanted him to have a not so secret soft spot for Stella and wanted to groom her to being his successor somehow, then he watched star wars one time, he started thinking she would be luke to his darth vader , and shenanigans follows
Well, he'd certainly not start off liking her right off the bat, since him being the only Gold around is no accident, but as the story progresses and Stella proves to be capable/entertaining to him I can see it happening.
GOLD would probably be too proud to think he will need a successor. i only see him acting like he wants Stella to be on his side. then when she has her guard down, he will strike her down, finally killing the last gold that he has not killed yet. he could even make a spectacle of it.
Cool art
GOLD lords himself over everyone while finding ways to influence him, really people who know him personally fall into three categories
>They want him dead
>They hate him but respect his influence
>They serve him
Or if you're Nugget, you want to die
>The Heels and Luscious hair
They're to show that GOLD views himself as higher than all, story-wise. And his Luscious mane represents his vanity
I think
I bet the heels have rockets

It feels like we should've had a place like that already.
I don't think this counts as a r63 AU, since Steven and company still exist
Mindfricked
I wonder how common it is for Stella to have bad dreams about the "incident".
Seems like a thing that your mind would just play on loop until the end of your life...
Carol knows hypnosis do she can help Stella work through it a bit. Letting her explore the memory in a safer and more controlled way
>there was once a time when Carol's entire thing was hypnosis
I'm so glad her character got broaden up.
He doesn't interacted with anyone outside of Titanium Authority (except for Nugget, whom he just belittles in various ways), as he finds it beneath him.
The other members of it just kind of put up with him, since he doesn't possess economic power, he IS economic power.
>it took so long for the thread to start talking about Valentina
Actually suprising.
>I'm so glad her character got broaden up.
First Carol was a friend and cheerleader, then a b***h, then interested in psychology, then she had a gun, then she knew hypnosis, then she had an abusive mom, then she was literally starving
>Actually suprising.
Probably would’ve been sooner if she was the OP image she should be the op image next time
>then she was literally starving
Wouldn't be surprised if it was just Valentina's experiment to see how she would behave.
Suprisingly, it turned out pretty good, since Carol learend how to ration her budget for long periods of time instead of blowing it all in the mall and even picked up a bit of cooking.
Valentina is such a good mom teaching her daughter how to save
God Valentina is so evil. Thank god Carol has Stella and some armor
That could be very fun. I’m now imagining Stella getting set up in a while Egyptian themed princess outfits by his servants to meet him for an event similar to the Ball in Steven Universe
*He hasn't interacted with anyone outside of Titanium Authority for a very long time

Reminder that Stella would burn a hole through your skull with her disapproving stare alone (christmas hat is optional) if you ever mentioned Postal 3 in front of her.

What's Stella favorite book?
>inb4 Twilight
No.
Dune of Starship Troopers
>hey what would Stella' favorite book be excluding the one that has a high chance of being her favorite book series
Because it's a guilty pleasure of hers and she's actually well-read enough to not have it even in her top 5.
The other metal men hate Megaman media and think the robot masters depicted within are a crude mockery of their species. But Stella likes them, so the MM concede.
>other metal men hate Megaman media
Except for Chrome.
Killer robot/rogue AI trope in general just tickles his shiny funnybone for some reason.
what kind of media would the metal men like? most drama and comedy don't seem like they will be interesting but maybe action and war stories might pique their interests.
>Iron
He'd probably enjoy documentaries and stuff like 'how it's made', while not really valuing things made for entertainment only
>Bronze
War-Films of any type, preferring older ones. He'd definitely be the type to love how some ham it up with their idealized depiction of a soldier

Family Guy, Dragon Ball, Episodes of 'Jackass' he has on tape. A real spread selection, but nothing really serious

What if that kind of stuff IS his kind of "entertainment"? Seeing the machines do monotonous work perfectly with in-depth explanation of every step of the process?
>two and a half hour long documentary on how metal bearings are made is his equivalent of 5 minute long "oddly satisfying" yt video
Anon I need the full to that pic, seems funny
It's an edit, sadly.
iron will definitely love playing factorio. having machines doing mundane stuff be connected to other mundane machines will appeal to him. seeing his factory grow will hook him in. then he will never want to stop.
It would play out like that KotH episode where Hank starts playing GTA, except Iron would IMMEDIATLEY delete the game the moment he notices that factorio makes him underperform in his IRL duties.
It would also somewhat upset Stella, since she actually was happy that Iron found something to enjoy for once instead of just working 24/7
>Iron would IMMEDIATLEY delete the game the moment he notices that factorio makes him underperform in his IRL duties.
that is why he will stop playin the game and willjust bring it to the real world.
>Iron tries to pull a factorio out in the desert
>Its... much more difficult with the lack of game mechanics
>He'd need some administrators. But that brings up two questions
>How many Coppers would he need to kidnap?
>And how would he go about it
Stella is /fitlit/ and I will die on that hill.
All of Stella’s friends are except Blanche but she’s more of a friendly enemy
>all of Stella’s friends are
Can't imagine Carol reading much outside of school curriculum and stuff like pic related
She’s interested in psychology though. More so than just cause of her mother.
Yes, that's why I included the pic, since sruff like that would be actually digestible for her.
Or do you expect a 12-15 y/o girl to keep up with most recent published research in the field of psychology?
*stuff
Good point. Though Valentina’s parenting might push her there.
She probably also likes romance novels driven by desire for what she doesn’t have
She still needs to start somewhere.
Also, I guess she's not very Cinemaphile either since outside of cheerleader routine she's most likely a cardiobunny, with a side of of some hipster shit like yoga.
>Stella tries to get Carol into actual lifting, but she's too afraid she'll get "gross and veiny"
Is she more scared of getting gross and veiny, or is she scared that her arms will snap under the weight of the lift.
Yeah, it's actually that, "getting too big" is a classic gym cope that mainly women use.
>"But Stella, I already do so much to stay in shape: running, yoga, aerobics, intermittent fasting..."
>"Fasting won't get you far if you eat a tub of icecream as your refeed every time."
>"Sh-shut up!"
Ironically this isn’t a concern due to previously established canon on how Carol’s body distributes fat.
Though the fasting isn’t voluntary
>Stella hangs out with Carol at her apartment
>Alice secretly watches over them from another room to see if the hunch she had about Carol is correct
>suddenly, a loud growl
>Alice is taken aback, but, with a sigh, she rolls up to them shortly after
>Alice asks Carol when was the last time she ate
>Carol tries to pass it off as her fasting
>Alice, being a slavic mom she is, cannot bear to see a hungry child in her house
>says that she'll fix something for them to eat, but both of them must help
And thus, the process of Carol adopting Alice as her mother figure is kicked off.
Honestly I like how good of a mom figure Alice is to Carol.
Especially cause of the mental image of chibi Carol eating waffles
It also presents a pretty interesting conflict on Alice's part, since not only must she get over a bias towards her daughter's one of very few friends, but Carol also runs a bery real chance of validating it, since Alice thinks she's just a manipulative sweet-talker who's simply using her girl for her advatage, while Carol's... you know.
Add the attachment that Carol already developed at this point into the mix and drama is pretty much guranteed.
Also,
>waffles
Nah, they're baking blini.
Funny how Carol’s manipulations are just a survival technique.
Because Carol does genuinely care about Stella, she just wants more control so that she knows she won’t be left behind or hurt
How would Valentina feel when she finds out that Carol is starting to see Alice more as her mother than her? Would she be angry or will she just disown Carol?
She'd probably start thinking of ways yo exploit that.
Fricking snake.
how can she exploit that? seeing carol get treated poorly by her mother will probably just make alice very mad.
>Carol gets Stella a pair of Ugg’s matching hers.
>Stella tells her she’s not gonna wear them
>come winter, Carol is smugly pointing down at them as Stella mumbles something about them being warm
What about Stefanie?
What about her?
She's from a different AU.
She is Stella from the alternative earth in the Steven Multiverse series spinoff
Stella would probably hate her even more than Steven.
Why?
Stefanie is a good country tomboy
>easily fixates on certain tasks
>takes a praticular interest in some topics, a lot of which have to do with operating heavy machinery
>has trouble relating to others
>people can rarely say for sure whenever he's joking or not
>a trained psychologist was literally unable to get into his head
"Robo-autism" is not a meme.
They weren't coping when they said autism was a superpower
Well, not completely coping
A group of Chromes singing the humans are dead
Mercuries are cool. I think of them like amongus assassins
Does Stella getting a catgirl cafe gig happen during the Future timeframe?
I have no clue. It just happens as a result of her accidentally damaging the cafe and begging Nia not to tell anyone, resulting in a job to pay off her debt
