Diamond Steven is my delectable little treat of an AU that I savour as the finest cuisine. Because it’s so incredibly LIKELY to happen. If the narrative was just a little less kind to Steven, if the show was not so child-friendly and optimistic - one turn in the wrong direction and you end up in this well of delicious misery. Now you can watch the consequences of taking Steven the Gem Jesus and putting him in an environment that wants so badly to mold him into the opposite of what he is. And he can resist, he can fight, he can adapt, he can change. What will he grow into when you take away the sun and the soil? Rip him from his roots?
Come and watch this heart-of-gold child be shattered by the pressure of his heritage and lose the light in his eyes! Can a person remain good and pure and innocent after witnessing the horrors? How much of them will be left on the other side?
And I’m not even talking about The Gems here, or Connie, or even Greg and every other character it would affect because I would have to actually write a whole essay. So here's some concepts that have been tumbling around in my head for awhile
Also if you wanna know more or just yap about these kind of aus feel free to ask!
