#steven universe au
I was watching a video essay on Steven Universe, when the fact that White knew Pink was Rose then Steven, that she wasn’t dead, and even that he’s had dreams of her hit me like a truck cuz I hadn’t fully realized that! And now I’m wondering.
What would’ve happened if Blue and Yellow hadn’t decided to destroy the Earth during Steven’s lifetime? What if he grew, lived and died the life cycle he wanted with no outside gem interference. And suddenly, White could not feel Pink’s gem because she, Rose, Pink, Steven, was gone?
On the one hand, she might brush it off as ‘the rowdy little girl I know probably shattered doing something foolish.’ And move on with her society that already went on without her (though the other two Diamonds still grieve).
But the angst lover in me wants to imagine White stopping all functions, eyes growing wide and mouth hanging open the second she realizes Pink’s presence has disappeared. She’s gone. Her Starlight is gone. She had thought- she’d come back one day. Once all her follies finally ended and she grew up. She should have. But she’s. Gone.
Imagine a White Diamond struggling with grief. Trying to keep going the facade that she’s perfect and everything is perfect and she can move on. But there are times she falters, and running homework with such a tight grip, it’s easy for everyone to see something is wrong. Blue and Yellow keep trying to check up on her but shes locked herself tightly and discourages them from visiting.
So she’ll be alone with the knowledge of the true fate of Pink.
What can she do next? What will she do? She’s seen how Blue and Yellow have grieved and called them pathetic. What about her?
Truthfully, this could go a number of ways. One ending would be Yellow and Blue disobeying, seeing her in a fit of emotions, and this being like the moment where White realizes she has imperfections too. That she’s not perfect. And she can grow from this. I don’t know if she’d tell them about Pink. Maybe she would and it could spark… damn. This could break them, to have to grieve Pink two times. Or maybe she keeps it to herself, knowing this would hurt. She doesn’t want to break them further.
Another possibility could be her tightening her grip to a frightening degree. Homeworld is already bad, but fear of this happening again could lead White to simply keep control over Blue and Yellow. Then maybe more. Her paranoia takes over as slowly. She’ll not only be in charge of everyone, but also, trully becomeeveryone.
Just possibilities.

my take on a universe au I guess !!
Gems are known for having one of the most complex languages in the galaxy. They speak in heavily synthesized and distorted sounds that are gibberish to the non-gem ear. From the small handful of gem prisoners, it’s been proven they are capable of learning other languages.
Still-developing translation software based on recently uncovered documents from ████████ archives have given some progress in deciphering gem speech. However it is slow-going and not 100% reliable at this time. Different gem types are known to have a set of sounds unique to them. Despite this they have no trouble communicating with each other.
It’s speculated all gems are on a certain “frequency” or channel much like how radios link together. Very few non-gems have heard Gem leaders, the Diamonds, speak.

I’m not the best with audio editing software (yet, working on it), but until then the closest examples I could think of were Highsingerfrom Star Wars, and Puppycat. Just to give a rough idea of what kinds of type of sounds I had in mind.
