What’s Azul’s backstory? Did you make him another orphan diamond hybrid on the run?

unexpected question! and funnily enough, that's very far from it lol

Azul has a reasonably normal life, more so than canon Steven (he goes to school and is in touch with his human side of the family). I'll yeet my thoughts under the cut cuz I wrote a lot.

I'll try to make this explanation make sense, so bear with me. First, Blue Diamond found out *after* the corruption attack that pink planned her own shattering, but not that she was rose (tldr Blue basically had hidden cameras around areas pink would be, keeping watch on her, but she only saw actual evidence when the shattering happened). Blue still thinks she died, but now she feels even worse! And as such, Blue visits Earth quite often like canon, but unlike canon she actually explores it a bit more. Since Pink basically died to protect the planet, Blue can't bring herself to hate it, she wants to understand it instead.

So, Greg. He doesn't stay on beach city, he continues on his tour and becomes rather successful. And ends up meeting Blue eventually. Blue also shapeshifts here to go around Earth more inconspicuously.

Also funny thing, Blue has a much different view of family than Rose, and so she actually encourages Greg to mend his relationship with his parents. So, once Steven is born, Greg settles down close to his parents, and they play a role raising Steven (he'd spend a lot of time with them while Greg is touring, for one).

And Steven goes to school!!! He meets Connie earlier than in canon, since Connie used to move a lot, they actually studied together briefly before she moved again, but they still kept in touch. Neither Steven nor Connie were the most social, and somehow they ended up sticking together.

Steven's personality isn't too different from canon (specially around those close to him), but he is pretty shy when younger, and avoidant of people in general. Reason being, he has very strong empathetic powers since early on, and has trouble controlling them, so people's emotions are quite overwhelming.

When he gets a little older, his powers are too much to handle and he has meltdowns fairly often, with.....some complicated consequences, so he is pulled from school, which doesn't help much his mental health tbh.

Buuut later on he ends up meeting the crystal gems by chance! Important to note that Blue didn't hate hate them by the end, and Blue Pearl mentioned them in passing in very neutral terms. So Steven finds them really cool! Also, Blue was aware of corrupted gems, but didn't know what to do with them. If she came across one, she'd bubble them. Blue Pearl taught Steven some combat, and it was when fighting a corrupted gem that he met the CGs.

Most shocking, Connie did end up meeting the CGs (Garnet saved her instead of Steven at the beach) and convinced them to train her. And so Steven and Connie have the most awkward reunion.

So. The CGs are extremely weary of Steven, they know he is a diamond. Rose is the only one who tries to be nicer to him, even if she is having an internal mental breakdown learning that Blue cared that much about her, and now she's DEAD. Amethyst is the first to chill around him after the initial shock.

Eventually, everyone is relatively ok with him, and they train with them, and finally makes progress trying to get a hold of his powers! So now that he can tune down the whole empathy thing, he can finally be as sociable as he wants.

Personality wise, he is overall friendly and positive, but a tad bit more devious. Another thing though, he is not really a pacifist. He has a strong sense of justice, and while he does not start fights and generally does not get himself in trouble, if something or someone strikes him as unjust, he will deal with it with the severity and manner he sees fit—be it logical and peaceful, or even vengeful. He rarely ignores the things that bother him.

I hope this answer the question???? Also sorry for the late reply, please know I love that you asked about my blorbo XD

[alazuli]

that is SO sweet ngiaowrngoiaw ty sm T0T

[alazuli]

I have found your fic (on steven universe) maybe two, three weeks ago cuz i LOVED the style and outfits (them i will steal for my never-to-be-posted fics) and ive been checking on it every few days and when i say your drawing it DID seem familiar.

Bruh, the way you draw makes me go FERAL i love the concept of steven just...becoming a diamond and all cuz HECK YEA I WANNA BE A SPACE TYRANT TOO TF

So yea, peace and love on the planet earth and for u, goodday mate, love ur content, just started following u

lmao gnaoiwgnoaiwrg i'm glad you like my fic and my art XD

i'm flattered it has inspired you and i'd love to see your AU if you ever post it

also, i do love diamond steven as well ahahah tbh steven in my fic won't be a *tyrant* per se, but you could read it as that (my intention falls more in the grey area, or at the very least smth more subtle than explicitly 'bad'--it's still a loooooooooooooong way to go tho)

now shameless plug in cuz i do have a silly tyrant loser, cookie. tbf i don't have much info on this AU online, i mostly just draw it (and I don't really post my doodles here). but the idea is a Diamond days arc gone wrong, steven is permanently split for 5 years with his gem half being forced to play pink diamond's role and his human half being treated as a pet. And white is a total bitch here. And then enough is enough and they fuse, and steven (nicknamed cookie meta-wise) poofs white and basically takes over lol [also cookie is my pfp here]

[alazuli]

@empanadastheresurrection doodle be upon ye

i think you drew this fit maybe once, but i thought it was cool af so here it is

[alazuli]

hello i've been mentioned

i really should update my fic gnaworgiawr

also, I can assure you that the future of my steven will also be quite different from your AU, so you're good XDD

outside that, I actually use a bunch of hcs for lore and worldbuilding that are honestly common in the fandom. I do have my very personal twists, but I haven't touched too heavily on a lot of it

This fic I read really reminded me of ur au I’d image was probably how Steven early life in hw stared minus the Lars stuff https://archiveofourown.org/works/59015224

Oh you found @alazuli s fic! I stumbled upon it a little after doing this blog, but while still sketching out how the comic would go. I tried not to get influences by it because it's an amazing fic on it's own (all of you should read it btw!!)

My Steven's early days will be explored, but they are very different from hers!

[alazuli]

ok this is almost a year old, and you can tell cuz this is practically canon steven lmao

i forgot to post this, ok? posting now cuz i just started sketching another carousel art

[alazuli]

oh would you look at that. i finally made a vampire steven. i call him lotus. his lore is complicated, ill explain it eventually, maybe when i make his character sheet. also he's an actual rose quartz. i love vampires.

aaaand this is megapex, a variant of starlight, who belongs to @flaretheskywing

[alazuli]

[alazuli]

this took a while to paint, i think you can imagine why

really wanted to draw this steeb specifically, but he will only become relevant very far in the future (since this,,,,relates to my fic,,,,), so uh i might not draw him often

also that's his more fancy form, he has a more casual (default) fit

[alazuli]

I just wanted to tell you I would love your su fic, and I would love to see more of your lore in some way

aw thank u! happy to hear people are interested

ill consider how to go about this in the fic ^^
