Hot Take
Steven is in hospital for emergency psychiatric treatment. If his mental state is really as bad as it seems, it's probably deteriorating at a pace where it is unlikely to be controlled without drastic intervention. He's having flashbacks, for God’s sake.
There are a number of reasons why a person can be hospitalised in this situation:
They require medication for their mental state, and need to be kept under observation to make sure there are no adverse effects
They are so unwell that they are unable to control their responses, and may be a danger to themselves or others
They may be suicidal or show suicidal tendencies
I feel like Rebecca wouldn’t go quite that far, but given that the latest leak that more or less involved Steven saying that he didn’t want to live anymore, I wouldn’t put it past her.
I was once hospitalised due to a mental health breakdown. I hated it, and I have trauma from the expirience. I only hope that Steven manages to avoid the worst of it.
Also... Why is he in a boat? It it the H.M.S Residual Trauma?

Ps. Sorry for not posting much, school went back and proceeded to kick me in the ass.
Steven Universe Future leak 2.0
Steven... you got some trauma right there... you want some help with that???
Poor babey. This show is supposed to be on hiatus, but keeps punching the fandom in the guts anyway.
Also, the image leak... are they flying?
Edit: Oh wait, they’re running.

Question for y’all
How would you feel about a Steven Universe high school au? It would be based off those promo drawings of the gems, but set in America rather than Japan. Let me know what you think.
Here are some of the drawings btw:
I got them off the wikia, in case you were wondering
- Pasta
So... That leak, huh?
I lowkey didn’t believe the corrupted Steven theory at first but now I’m legit terrified?! Our babey is not okay?! Also the gems are handling it really badly, like absolutely abysmally?! IS GREG OKAY?!!
Okay just needed to get that out of my system, thanks for listening.
(Two posts in a day? New record!)

I think I’ve said enough...
An edgy Steven.
Seriously, those episodes made everyone worried. Get help, Steven.
Also, I’ll be posting links to some fanfics of mine soon, so stay tuned!

Did anyone see the way Lapis reacted to those chains?
How when they came towards her, she just... froze? The almost adrenaline-fueled reaction? The metaphor of “opening the floodgates”? The projection of her trauma onto the situation (who’s pitiful now)?
Maybe she hasn’t healed as well as she thinks...
Everybody on this show needs therapy, y’all.

≫ Storyline
Alexis was born in Ireland, and moved to London when she was 5. Shortly afterwards, her health began to deteriorate. Initially her family wasn’t worried, but after the illness continued for a number of months, they took her to a doctor. He requested further testing, and it was found that she had a genetic condition that would result in death unless a cure could be found.
Initially Alexis was hopeful, strongly believing that she would find a cure. However, as years went by, and her condition deteriorated further, she began to lose faith. By the time she was 15, she had essentially accepted that there was nothing she could do.
Instead of sinking into despair, she decided to live her final years as productively as possible. She read all about the world, form the average height of a penguin to the weird naming conventions of milk. However, her time was up all too fast.
She passed away at 4:30 Pm on a Sunday.
Alexis was a victim of a celestial admin error, a fault that occurs fairly rarely. She should have gone to heaven, but went to hell instead. However, she is surrounded by new friends, and finally has some semblance of normalcy.
Thanks for reading, y’all! I might post some more major OC's from different fandoms later, but this is all for now.

Splatoon Ink Headcannons
Hey yall! Some of the main assumptions that I make in this post are related to the Splatoon Manga, which is level 2 cannon. Read with skepticism!
Low tide ink
Low tide ink is unique in that it cannot splat an ink based creature, but it can still ink turf normally.
It is often used in specialty organised turf wars among children and sick/disabled cephalopods. They sometimes have issues respawning correctly, so the concept of splatting is removed from the game.
Using low tide ink does not require an ink tank, as it is a low enough density to be exclusively made in the ink sack.
It is often used as bath water, because of it's harmlessness.
High tide ink
As high tide ink is very dangerous, its transport and possession is heavily controlled by the government.
It is considered highly dangerous due to the fact that it permanently kills both ink based and non ink based creatures.
Used by the Military, Police, Assassins, and The Squidbeak Splatoon.
It must be kept in special containers that look a little bit like soy sauce sachets.
Normal weapons cannot use high tide ink, special weapons must be acquired. These weapons look more like modern day weapons.
Other headcannons
High tide ink is produced by compressing normal ink and scraping off the top layer of impurities. This process is repeated 5 to 6 times.
Ink based creatures are able to change their own ink colour. Some especially skilled cephalopods can change their tentacle patterns. It makes for a great party trick!

Bushfires.
Don’t usually reblog lots of stuff, but as an Aussie, this hits really close to home. A favourite camspite of mine, where I made so many good memories, was burned down in an earlier bushfire. Some school friends with asthma have had to go home early because they couldn’t breathe. Every morning, I wake up, look out the window, and see a haze of smoke, almost covering the sky. Some days the smoke smells almost chemical.
Here is the situation as of 5 hours ago (excerpt taken from The Guardian newspaper):
Queensland
14 homes had been destroyed.
There were 80 active fires.
Leave immediately and leave now alerts had been issued at locations including Kinkuna Waters, Pechey, Buxton, Woodgate/Walkers Point Road, Kilkivan and Noosa North Shore.
There were 293 vehicles across all of the fires around the state.
100 interstate and international personnel had arrived in the state to assist.
Very high to severe conditions were expected to persist across Queensland. Conditions may ease in some areas on Thursday but severe fire danger was expected again into the weekend.
New South Whales
There were 76 active fires.
None were currently at emergency warning level, most were at watch and act or advice level.
Conditions eased on Wednesday after the catastrophic and extreme fire danger ratings on Tuesday.
Thursday was forecast to bring very high fire danger across much of the state, as was Friday, with potentially severe fire danger on Friday in the greater Hunter region.
The very high fire danger being experienced in the north-east of the state was expected to continue for the rest of the week.
The Rural Fire Service commissioner, Shane Fitzsimmons, said severe conditions forecast for the weekend would be followed by another burst of hot air next week, meaning crews “simply aren’t going to get the upper hand on all of these fires”.
Western Australia
One fire was at emergency warning level at Drummond Cove in Geraldton.
A second fire, the Utakarra fire in Geraldton had been downgraded to watch and act.
AAP was reporting that two homes had been destroyed and two homes had been damaged in Geraldton.
Please. Wise up, Government, and cut the shit.
My heart goes out to the firefighters. Love you guys, absolute LEGENDS. Keep it up.

tl;dr my country is literally on fire and the politicians refuse to help
I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but you probably haven’t heard about what’s happening in Australia.
we’re on fire.
approximately ¼ of australia’s population is in catastrophic fire danger. A catastrophic fire level means your only chance of surviving is leaving before it’s too late.
it’s Spring in Australia, and rainforests aren’t meant to be dry enough to burn, yet at the time of writing this (11/11/19) there are 71 active fires in NSW (43 out of control), and 51 active fires in Queensland - not including those that have already burned before now, and there are more in other states. Sydney is already rated “catastrophic”, the first time this rating has ever been used there since its creation in 2009. That’s right, we had to add yet another level of destructiveness, because “high”, “very high”, “severe”, and “extreme” were no longer adequate. To quote the Fire Danger Ratings, “for your survival, leaving early is the only option”. conditions tomorrow will be the worst they have been, and people are evacuating as we speak. the fire fighters are preparing as best they can.
This isn’t just about people losing their homes; people have died and will die, countless animals have already lost their lives and many more will still perish. our land, our lives, and our hope is up in flames and will soon be nothing but ash. the annual fire season has not even begun yet. this is only the beginning. my native land is burning, and there is nothing i can do to stop it.
the government refuses to acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis. the fires have never been this bad. we have been in severe drought for more than a year which has only contributed to the force of these fires. the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has done nothing but send his “thoughts and prayers”. He will not accept aid from other countries because he is too egotistical to admit that we need it. All the while the people of this land are suffering. Climate change needs radical human change to be combated. we are already seeing the results of years of indifference, and this is barely the beginning of something that will only get worse the longer government’s and big companies refuse to act to counteract climate change.
Our government has also cut funding to Fire and Rescue NSW by 35.4%, the Rural Fire Service by 75.2%, and QLD Rural Fire Service by 26.42%, resulting in closures of services; they don’t have the resources to cope. We are fighting a losing battle against the results of climate change. and this is only the beginning.
An alternative gem naming system
If you’re watched Steven Universe, you’ve probably seen fan explanations about the Facet & Cut system. The system is okay, however I feel like it lacks potential somewhat. I therefore give you my alternate naming system for your gemsonas.
The structure of the system follows this pattern:
Carat
The carat section of the name shows the quality, colour and rank of the gemstone. The notation goes:
Q6-CB-R3
The Q notation represents the quality of the gem, on a scale of 1 to 10. This gem would be about average in terms of strength and other abilities.
The C notation represents the hue of the gem. This gem would be slightly towards the blue side of the spectrum. There can also be other spectrum changes, including R (red), P (pale), and I (rich). The pale term doesn’t reflect a defect in this case. For gems that can be any or many colors, other terms can be used.
The R notation indicates the gem's place in society. This is different from the caste system. The options include:
1 - Builders
2 - Warriors/Soldiers
3 - Servants
4 - Entetainers
5 - Technicians
6 - Supervisors
7 - Colonisers
8 - Scientists
9 - Administration
10 - Pilots
This gem would be some sort of servant, perhaps a Pearl.
Cut
This may sound the same as the canonical version, but my formula is somewhat different. It reads:
SCabochon-O GPearl
It can be broken down relatively easily:
The S notation indicates the shape and cut of the gemstone. The first term can either be Cabochon or Cut. The second term represents the overall shape. The example is interpreted as a oval Cabochon. If the first term is cut, however, the name is written.
You can use this method without credit, but feel free to credit anyway.

What can go wrong: A list of gem defects
This post is simply a very long Theory on the different types of defects that a gem can have. Warning: VERY LONG POST. On with the show!
Under/overcooking.
This defect causes notable differences in stature. Undercooking causes longer and thinner stature that normal, whereas overcooking causes shorter and stockier stature. This defect varies in intensity, but if too intense the gem may have issues holding its form together.
Unusual/harmful Impurities
Most gems have some impurities in the form of trace minerals, that cause harmless individual variation in appearance. Some of them, however, can be actively harmful to a gems' appearance or purposes. Common effects include:
Unusual coloration
Specks in gemstone
Lack of or Unintended abilities
Unusual gemstone shape/cut
This occurs when a gemstone forms in a shape not intended for the gem (i.e. amythest with a Jasper Cut). Its effects include:
Coloration issues (the example gem may have an orange tint and/or stripes)
Undesirable or broken features
Unusual weapon
Severe Essence imbalance
Two forms of this defect exist. The effects the first originate from an unbalanced or odd mix of essence. The effects of this form can range from minor coloration issues to the entirely wrong gem emerging from the injection site. This is the less problematic form, in that it doesn’t nessecarily damage the gem and can result in new discoveries.
The other form occurs when the essence is not mixed properly or at all, resulting in a bicolored gem. This form is far, far more volatile than the first. Dangerous features include:
Multiple personalities
Difficulty holding form
Extra or missing limbs
Higher vulnerability of major impurities
Injector errors
This is umbrella term for issues with the injection process. They include:
Inert gemstone: These gemstones won't form a gem and can’t be used as a power source.
Underdrilling: The injector does not drill deep enough for all limbs to form. In some gems, this can be resolved by poofing and allowing to reform naturally, but this doesn’t work on gems not designed for combat.
Overheating: The injector gives too much initial heat to the incubation process, causing a mishappen or cracked/broken gemstone. These gems are almost never able to form.
Undernutrition: The earth around the injection site is lacking or devoid of minerals and nutrients. This results in anything from a pale gem, low energy and fatigue, to an inert gemstone.
Thank you very much for reading!!!

Requirements for a perfect gem
How to make Jasper, basically.
The mixture of essence must be 100% balcanced and pure.
The surrounding rock must have an unusually high mineral and nutrient content.
NO impurities, either damaging impurities or trace minerals can be present.
The incubation must be unusually hot. I gathered this from the glass around Jasper's emerging hole, where her emergence may have melted the sandstone around her.
The injection surface must be 100% smooth.
I made the criteria deliberately difficult to show just how rare a perfect specimen of a gem is. That’s why Jasper is much higher in the Caste system than you would expect of an ordinaru quartz.

Why Snowflake Obsidian will probably be a main/recurring character
Earlier this year, a member of the @stevencrewniverse accidentally leaked a turnaround/model sheet of Snowflake obsidian. From what I have seen, it seems likely that they will feature critically in the upcoming season of Steven Universe. Here is a list of reasons why:
An official model sheet. This may not seem like much, as even background characters have model sheets, but it was published on a blog with other important character's model sheets ( I.e. Holly blue's, emerald's).
Numerous appearances. Snowflake appears in Change Your Mind, but also features in Steven Universe: the Movie. She has been close on the camera angle both times.
Proximity to Bismuth. She is one of bismuth's friends, and as such we should at least see some interaction between the two.
Anyway, I could be wrong but I think it is probably an interesting thing to consider.

Octo Types
So I noticed a few distinct different types of octoling in splatoon's lore and gameplay, and I thought would share my ideas about them with y’all. Here we go!
Type 1
These are the Octolings that you see in story mode. Their distinct features include:
Identical hair colour and outfits, basically clones
All female
Ink and Octo forms do not reflect hair.
Type 2
These Octolings are the playable ones. They have a much softer demeanour than Type 1, and have more variation.
Their entire tentacles change colour with their ink.
Their eyes appear very timid, but also calculating.
Their Octo forms reflect their ink and tentacle colour.
Type 3
Only two examples of this type exist, Marina Ida and Dedf1sh/Ahato. They have the most variation between individuals. The distinctive features present include:
Compentency with DJ equipment
Coloured fingertips
Tipped hair. In the case of marina, these tips change depending on her team colours.
What does this mean, anyway?
It could mean nothing, but the differences are so acute that it's unlikely to be meaningless. It could indicate different species, or a type of caste system (I.e. Type 3 work as Idols/remixers, Type 1 work as common soldiers).
Thanks for reading!

Where is Jasper?
So in Steven Universe: the Movie, Jasper isn't shown or even mentioned once. I have a few theories about her possible location.
She may be on a sort of pilgrimage, around Earth or the galaxies nearby. Maybe she's trying to find a place to call home, or maybe she's just thinking and recovering from her trauma, both from Lapis and the Gem War.
She may be on homeworld. I think that this is somewhat unlikely, given her anger at her situation in general, but she could be under the command of the Diamonds again. She would probably be recieving some sort of therapy.
She may be living in Little Homeworld. She would likely be working, either building or something else to keep her mind off all the crazy stuff happening.
Finally, she may be in prison. This is unlikely, but it would make sense. The diamonds would likely adopt laws similar to Earth's. Many of the things she did while pursuing Steven would be considered illegal, so she may be incarcerated due to this.
If you have any other theories I can add, please let me know!
Gem Formation Theory
I have come up with a possible theory as to how gem formation works. A basic formula for it is:
Mix of diamond esssence + Appropriate rock + Trace minerals = Gem!
For example: amythests are a purple colour, so a pink and blue diamond essence mixture is injected. They are a type of quartz, so a Silicon Dioxide based rock, such as granite, should be used. Ta da! An amythest!
Organic gems can be created using the same basic process, with a few alterations. Ambers use the same process, but instead of rock, they are injected into trees.
Pearls, specifically, are made not using diamond essence, but narce essence. Narces are the only gems other than the diamonds capable of producing essence that will create gems. The essence is then injected into a specially dug hole in an underwater kindergarten. Ta da! A Pearl!
Finally, trace elements. They are used to change the features of a gem. An example is Amythest 8XJ, whose iron deposits near her injection site caused her curly hair.
I hope this theory is helpful!
