the internal lore of my steven universe AU where all the gems are cars and all the humans are still humans deepened on twitter tonight
now at this point it’s clear that in this AU part of rose (her gem; her life) became steven and part of her (her body) became greg’s van
steven has wheels and his eyes light up
thanks for reading
This is really something!
Forgot I never posted this.
Here’s the Initial D/SU parody comic I did for 2016 Comic Con. I’m still super moved by the people who were into this weird combo. It, admittedly, it a bit of a niche market but it makes me laugh a lot. Also, shout out to the people checked out Initial D after reading my comic and found it to be as silly/fun/cool as I do.
Everyone remember to drive safe!
For the occasional few who are curious: this was done brush and ink on bristol paper with some pentel brush pen and micron (or whatever small felt tip that was around.)
“You keep coming here but not buying tofu!” Had me in stitches. Oh wait I was already stitched up HAHA
Blobby faceless Peridot in every panel!
Do have any ideas/thoughts on stevonnies vision of the crumbling road and scary Kevin face?
I do actually!
I think that this is what happens as a fusion is too overcome with a certain emotion. Recall that in Coach Steven, Pearl told Garnet and Amethyst that they were losing themselves. This is the case here.
It starts with having literal tunnel vision. And it’s a good way to present what’s happening. Steven and Connie were so upset about Kevin that they couldn’t think of anything else. They were consumed by wanting to beat him at his own game. That’s why all the scenery disappears and all they can see is the road and his car.
And then, they start to destabilise, in the same way the Road behind them is destabilising. They’re coming undone because Stevonnie is experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil from their components. Steven with tunnel vision, and Connie, who at this point is realising that they shouldn’t be doing this. That’s why it’s Connie later who brings up what they’re doing and what they’ve become: Consumed.
But that doesn’t mean Connie isn’t afraid as well. I think both Steven and Connie, as much as they loathe Kevin, are to an extent afraid of him. He violated their space and consent. And he kept coming. As children, that was terrifying for them, because I’m almost certain they’ve never been in this kind of situation before. And Stevonnie, realising this, and also being the one at the forefront of experiencing this in Alone Together, is afraid. I’ve written multiple times that Steven and Connie are a great relationship. But they prefer to have the comfort of each other in person than they are alone together (hence the episode title), and unlike Garnet, who prefers to be one person.
To help cope with the fear, their first instinct is to unfuse. I don’t think these thoughts ran through their minds as a step by step plan, but these were probably what they were feeling, even without their knowledge.
This isn't an analysis question, but what did Jenny call Stevonnie at the end of Beach City Drift? When the race ends, she says, "I was rooting for you, ____!" and I couldn't catch what it was.
She was rooting for the Dondai, the car model. It’s like in race commentaries, sometimes the car is mentioned taking the lead or crossing the finish before the racer. :)
Was it just me or was this scene terrifying?
This one’s for Friday (or tonight if you’re at Comic Con!) Spoiler alert: I love writing Kevin, Initial D and Tokyo Drift. Thank you Rebecca, Ben and Matt for making my dreams come true!
TURN UP THE EUROBEAT, PEOPLE!
TONIGHT AT 7pm! Don’t miss it!
We love you @hilaryflorido, and we didn’t miss your cameo XD
If you show up to my front door with and an attitude like this, you get this face:
“Eh, what’s it matter? I’m rich.”
Greg’s Greatest Hits
I would die if I got my hands on that.
yeah most child locks will lock on all doors automatically! I think unless it's old or broken it'll lock all doors. (also idk if you've touched on this since I'm new to the blog and I'm not sure how old that post is, but peridot got out of the car by simply rolling down the window since the truck has one of those old crank windows)
In response to the last message in this tread:
When you turn on the child lock on one door, does that turn on the child lock on all the doors? It doesn’t do that for my car; hence the observation. (I’d like to know if it were possible though!)
Thanks for the information!
My definition of child lock has always been the switches on the part of the car door that gets closed in/that can only be reached when the door is open.
And they’ve always worked on only the door you decide to lock. But I like the idea of Peridot working quadruple time on cranking down the window better :)
Anonymous asked:
Do you think Peridot’s weapon could be that bomb she planted way back when in Warp Tour (I think?) on the warp pad? It would kind of fit her tantrums, sudden and explosive. I thought that was how she got out when Steven trapped her because she was going to communicate with Yellow Diamond. She doesn’t use them often it seems. I would say she was just holding a bomb in her gem like Pearl does but I kind of thought that was unique to Pearls, y'know ‘stand there, look pretty, and hold your stuff.’
As a part two answer (the one for getting out of the barn), I mentioned that Peridot’s bomb wasn’t an explosive; rather it seemed more an emitter. As such, I don’t think it could blast through the truck. Additionally, we hear only one explosion when she gets out. That’s the sound of the barn wall getting blown up. Her emitter makes a loud enough sound upon detonation, so we would have heard two sounds at the time. Finally, Steven engaged child lock on the driver’s seat door where he was sitting. Peridot could have just opened the door she used to enter the truck. :)
Actually child locks are on all doors! Bc generally your children aren’t in the driver or passenger seats.
