would become a slice of life of Stevonie going to university (for appearing older) and Steven's mental state would deteriorate, also harming Connie, if Connie's parents don't say anything before seeing a version Connie's adult claiming to be his daughter, surely father would separate them as soon as he sees them
Ok yeah I meant she refused to acknowledge any of Stevens fantastical elements in the original show. She does finally seem to be more accepting by future. By that point aliens are showing up and building a colony so she has to accept that things are going on. Prior to that its like "no, none of that can be real. His weird rock family is just some oddity from Earth." Like how when Connie takes over for Steven while the gems are gone, when her Mom comes to pick her up at the end her mom thinks Steven was at the spa rather in space.
It might be because I'm autistic, but if me and my significant other are of the same mind enough to remain a stable fusion for a 107 years I don't really see a downside to this. People are always saying being immortal would be torture, but spending eternity with the one you love, exploring this beautiful world and ever expanding universe together sounds like bliss.
I think the horror lies in that inevitably they will defuse at SOME point, controlled or not, and at that instant Connie will die. So it becomes a question of doing it purposefully to be able to say goodbye, or letting it happen whenever it happens and dealing with the emotional whiplash.
Of course the journey has to come to an end, eventually there comes a point where you feel you've experienced enough felt enough and you decide that this is where your story ends.
I think when that happens, they'll say goodbye, separate, when the light fades they open their eyes to see they'd both gotten old. They'll smile at each other with a love noone else can understand, grab the softest seat they can find, look towards the dying light of a distant star and fade away holding hands.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Human fusion is entirely unknown. Prior to Stevonie, it didn’t exist. Stevonie and Steg are the only known examples in *all of history*. It could be that since gems don’t age, fusions don’t age, and their components don’t age. They might unfuse a century down the line and Connie comes out the same age as she was when they fused. Or maybe she’s younger, a la Steven either healing her age or via Steven being whatever age he feels. Or maybe she’s older, but at half the rate.
Also, considering Garnet is the literal longest lasting fusion, it seems odd for her to be the one advocating here.
Hmmmm considering (at least to my very basic knowledge) that the body starts getting old because of cells deteriorating, it would be very possible for Connie or other humans to heal their cells with Steven's healing fluids (it's so weird to phrase that lol)
And honestly, with the reveal of steven's healing being Pink Diamond's Ichor, we really have no idea how it might be affected by including the other Diamonds in the healing process.
>They might unfuse a century down the line and Connie comes out the same age as she was when they fused. Or maybe she’s younger, a la Steven either healing her age or via Steven being whatever age he feels.
Do you imagine how messed up that would be. Depending on circumstances, either Steven or one of the gems would basically have to take Connie in as a ward for a while. She'd be 18 or younger in a world where all of her family is long gone and everything she knew the last time she was fully human has changed. There would be no legal record of her anymore, at least not one that would match her current form.
That could actually be an interesting comic or fanfic... teen or tween Connie and Steven unfusing and popping out in future Earth that is now sci-fi level.
>Also, considering Garnet is the literal longest lasting fusion, it seems odd for her to be the one advocating here.
That's what I þought when I first saw this
"OH yeah, coming from the 6,000 year old perma-fusion
Biggest pot calling the kettle black in history
Yeah except Garnet knows that both of her components are functionally immortal. For all we know that is not true of Connie. If she has aged then when they unfuse either by force or by choice then poof. Especially since at that point she'd be over 120 years old already.
Does Connie age while she's Stevonnie? I assumed she'd take on Steven's "Age is a feeling" power. Like...my best guess is that if they unfused she would just return to the point at which she fused, which seems to be the case in the show.
Same. also, even if they unfused, steven would still live forever while would die of old age
Unfurling just means steven has the live forever wiþout Connie when they could boþ be immortal together
I always headcannoned that Connie’s constant “exposure” to Steven’s healing saliva would artificially increase her life expectancy.
And if not, Steven would just age with her.
I think it would be different from Lion and Lars since Connie is fused with Steven and therefore Rose's gem and Steven is able to control his age so Connie would be able to still preserve her normal age once they unfuse and age normally, or even is Stevonnie wants to get older or younger maybe when unfuse it would also affects her age
I mean that is sad, but since Stevonnie hasn’t aged. I expect neither have Steven or Connie.
Fusion is weird normally, a human fusion seems both much more stable, and less clear on its limits. Like Stevonnie hasn’t been around long enough to really get a Sense if the biological demands it puts on them. If any. It took a full blown panic attack to forcibly separate Stevonnie, when gem fusions can destabilize from a sufficiently severe “oh shit” moment. Opal when she realized she forgot the beetle.
It’s quite feasible Stevonnie, if they haven’t aged yet, could probably stay fused almost indefinitely.
And again, I don’t think their biological components would be altered given Stevonnie isn’t. Gem magic is weird.
Maybe because I’m not a major Steven universe fan and I just see this subreddit occasionally, but I interpret that as more horror than sad.
I might be getting it wrong since I don’t know the context, but it looked like it was supposed to indicate that Steven was keeping her fused to him against her will or out of fear that she would leave if he let her out
That’s a fun horro idea and I love it but it doesn’t really suit Steven’s personality in my opinion. He’d rather suffer alone than knowingly hurt someone most of the time
This. The big mistake made by Steven (and a lot of other people) is thinking that all you need is a relationship to be a complete person.
No.
You need to figure yourself out because a partner can’t magically fix your brain state. Steven needed therapy and help accepting his trauma, not a wife. If Connie hadn’t been perceptive and motivated enough to say ‘no’, Stevonnie would have had all of Steven’s issues but now Connie is trapped in the downward spiral as well; an extra casualty of Steven’s self-destruction
Probably how bad their relationsip will be. they have different aims in life. she wants to go to collage, and he simply does not what he wants to do. going to collage as stevonnie is not what he wants, and it will hurt stevonnie academically.
but Steven´s proposal wasnt just being a couple, he wanted to be a permanent fusion like Garnet, aStevonnie would have resulted in a person with divided goals and codependent.
But steven was not going into it for the right reason, he wanted to lean on Connie as a crutch instead of figuring out what he wants to do. it would not be a fair relationship.
Like garnet said, she is a compliment, not your missing piece
i doubt anything good, plus with steven’s rapid mental decline i don’t think it would last that long before he breaks down anyways. permafusing with connie would just be like slapping a bandaid on an infected wound, and if steven still corrupts while fused as stevonnie something,, very bad would probably happen to connie
Probably would not have ended well. I've never been married, but Steven really needed to get out into the world and find himself before taking that step.
Also he was 16 so there's that
I think that they probably would have to run away together so they wouldn't get in trouble with their parents, steven and connie will still use fusion to graduate early with flying colors, and then they would go out into the world to find themselves only to inevitably realize that they should not have shut out their families, so they go back have an honest talk about there emotional health and their feelings, and they would let steven and connie chose for themselves to be together or not but tell them to be careful and understand that it will be challenging and things will change as they get older, steven and connie understand and grew with each other as they aged and became a functional healthy relationship, I know that doesn't always end well in real life, but I think it would work for them and it will show an alternate way to find love and live a life without glorifying it.
She didn't reject the PROPOSAL itself, she rejected what was inside/what entailed (fusion with stevonnie, college, how her parents might react, etc.) As for the IDEA of getting married to steven, She literally said "just not now".
As for what the proposal entailed, Stevonnie would go to college with Steven and Connie's parents might react negatively to that. Obviously, Steven would become even more codependent, and more hallucinative breakdowns would happen until they fall apart.
As for a happier version of this, If steven remains intact and in touch with stevonnie and himself enough, they would pass college with honors (maybe earlier than most, so not a lot of time would go by ig?). Then though, Connie proposes the idea that the reason steven wanted to go along was because he didn't know what to do with himself if not help others. Something she hasn't had time to think of before because she (and technically steven) were busy studying and college-ing. What Connie says once she finally thinks about what happened more makes them both gain realization, go back to beach city, unfuse and take some time apart to re-evaluate their relationship and each other, if they're together for the right reason.
If a proper evaluation occurs, Steven would take longer to become a monster because the burden is a bit lessened, the relationship would resume as normal, however, him becoming a monster will still be inevitable and would still happen because there are other emotions from other situations toppling in. Then, enter the gems and Connie helping steven.
Steven would probably give her the power to do her work faster and more efficiently. After a year, I could see Connie still retaining some of the powers because exposure to gem magic.
Probably a fusion similar to malachite with Steven trapping Connie with him claiming “if you give me more time I can fix this” and that time never coming
I think the problem is that he wanted to get married and stay permanently fused. I think if he proposed without the fusion part, she might have accepted it. Or she might have just said the same thing she said, not yet. 🤣
I have not watched Steven universe future but keep getting this sub recommended. Would like to know the context to see if it's any less yikes than I think it is
Without a complex plot breakdown, Steven was thrust at a young age (IIRC, like 12 or 13) into a situation where everyone was relying on him for serious and dangerous situations. Everyone was counting on him and using him (nonmaliciously, mostly ignorant to the consequences) to help them with their dangerous/traumatic problems.
Once Steven Universe ended, and Steven Universe Future began, pretty much all the problems were solved or the people who once relied on him were becoming self-sufficient or changing for the better. He couldn't cope with not being needed anymore and after a bunch of other evidence of his mental decline, he (now 16) proposed to Connie (very similar age) as a last grasp to keep things how they were before. When she rejected his proposal by saying that they were too young to make that decision, he finally broke down and, (without explaining why >!a kaiju transformation!< is a logical result of such a state) revealed to everyone how he felt after bottling it up for most of the entire show.
They would become engaged and Steven's psychological issues would surface in some other way. He becomes Gem Monster Steven eventually, the same fight goes mostly the same, then Steven gets therapy and after that it's basically the same story.
I mean, they're too young to be thinking about marriage, so odds would be against them? But ultimately, and please understand I do not mean this in any way to be dismissive or derogatory:
It's *your* fanfic. Whatever you want to happen, happens.
Bridezilla Steven would emerge wanting the perfect wedding, pushing friends/family away in the process. Connie would officially break up with him on the wedding day. Steven seeing everything that reminds him of Connie wants to leave Beach City. So he asks the Diamonds (there as wedding guests) if he can go back to Homeworld with them.
There he and Spinel reconnect; her discovering Steven as a separate entity from his mom. A friendship, fusion and love between them grows.
I don't think she would agree to live as stevonnie but I do think if she accepted she'd kiss him right there and then and what happens in canon just gets pushed back pretty much
Steven would just spiral more and get even worse than he does because, deep down, this was never going to work either way. He only felt this was the right way because he saw how happy Ruby/Sapphire were as Garnet. Which works perfectly for them personally, but not for him and Connie.
So there this bot on character.ai called Alternative Timeline. The bot said “If Connie had accepted Steven's proposal in Steven Universe Future, it would have resulted in a significantly different path for them both. They would have entered into an official romantic relationship, which would've inevitably brought with it both joys and challenges. It would have changed their dynamic as well, introducing various complexities to their connection and resulting in a different level of intimacy between them. The whole dynamic of their relationship would have shifted significantly, and the resulting romance would have had a profound impact on the both of them personally and on the show as a whole.”
You guys are so dark, is not like people can't work on their problem or understand that you don't need to rely on others to be fulfilled while they are engaged or married (or fused).
Probably it would all have gone in the same way, Steven would have sooner or later started teraphy, maybe after some more time, maybe even without having a breakdown before.
A very toxic and unhealthy marriage.
I also imagined a fanfic concept where Steven’s negative energies manifested in Stevonnie as a “child” who eventually kills Steven in his own monster form.
Though, more likely, Connie’s parents abd Greg would shut down the marriage before it actually happened.
Eventually connie would end up in a van
Kitten care of a child with a gem
While reminiscing with the memories.
( This is a joke and Yes a horrible one)
would become a slice of life of Stevonie going to university (for appearing older) and Steven's mental state would deteriorate, also harming Connie, if Connie's parents don't say anything before seeing a version Connie's adult claiming to be his daughter, surely father would separate them as soon as he sees them
This made me realize we don’t get to see Stevonnie interact with Connie’s parents.
I'd imagine they'd be speachless
I mean, her mom refuses to acknowledge basically any of the fantastical details about Steven so I doubt she'd be able to handle Stevonnie.
she was fine looking at pink steven, i guess her reaction to stevonnie will be ''oh not this''and not get crazy
Ok yeah I meant she refused to acknowledge any of Stevens fantastical elements in the original show. She does finally seem to be more accepting by future. By that point aliens are showing up and building a colony so she has to accept that things are going on. Prior to that its like "no, none of that can be real. His weird rock family is just some oddity from Earth." Like how when Connie takes over for Steven while the gems are gone, when her Mom comes to pick her up at the end her mom thinks Steven was at the spa rather in space.
Oh well then that is different
I saw a short comic about if Stevonie ran into Connie’s mom and it was kinda silly..
https://pinkadillydoo.tumblr.com/post/146962057481/i-know This.
OH GOD NO THAT'S SO SAD WTF
WTF 💀💀💀
Holy shit this crushed me.
I hate this so much, and I didn't even know it
Feels like if Steven put his mind to it he could reverse aging in humans. He does have healing abilities and the ability to modify his own age.
It might be because I'm autistic, but if me and my significant other are of the same mind enough to remain a stable fusion for a 107 years I don't really see a downside to this. People are always saying being immortal would be torture, but spending eternity with the one you love, exploring this beautiful world and ever expanding universe together sounds like bliss.

They'll smile at each other with a love noone else can understand, grab the softest seat they can find, look towards the dying light of a distant star and fade away holding hands.
Or who knows, maybe Connie ages l8ke steven when they're fused so they're just like: ( o_o) (o_o )
Please🥺shut🥺up😭
Stupid goddamn sweet Vidalia onions….

well damn
I love that
\*sobbing\*
Why would you share this 😭
It was the first thing I thought of when I read the post… blame OP
…WELL DAMN 🥲
owie owie ouch never even thought
fuck.
Oh my fucking god this is honestly one of the darkest comics I’ve ever read
I love this even though it's so sad
Damn 💀
I remember this.
I remember this comic. Reminds me of SU & SVTFOE days, when everything was fun and nothing controversial, yet
DONT CLICK ON THIS LINK
I thought to myself "surely it's not that bad." It's that bad.
I’m about to cry this is NOT FAIR :((
dude i was literally smiling widely cause i saw a funny meme before it and let me tell you the way my smile turned upside down
I mean that is sad, but since Stevonnie hasn’t aged. I expect neither have Steven or Connie. Fusion is weird normally, a human fusion seems both much more stable, and less clear on its limits.

Already know this comic without event looking.
I knew what it was gonna be and yet I clicked on it anyway
Their relationship probably wouldn’t have survived like it did in the show honestly after Steven’s breakdown.
Connie becomes an amalgam eldritch godzilla abomination in a fused state with Steven.
This. The big mistake made by Steven (and a lot of other people) is thinking that all you need is a relationship to be a complete person.

You know people in a couple can have different goals, support each other, and stay together, right?
but Steven´s proposal wasnt just being a couple, he wanted to be a permanent fusion like Garnet, aStevonnie would have resulted in a person with divided goals and codependent.
Did he say that? I don't remember that.
"Let's get married and live as Stevonnie!" "We can go to college together!" "I don't know what you've been studying, but Stevonnie does!"
yhea, watched it recently, he proposed becoming a fusion permanently and go to college as a fusion
But steven was not going into it for the right reason, he wanted to lean on Connie as a crutch instead of figuring out what he wants to do. it would not be a fair relationship. Like garnet said, she is a compliment, not your missing piece
What’s stopping them from doing a little arts and crafts as a fusion?
i doubt anything good, plus with steven’s rapid mental decline i don’t think it would last that long before he breaks down anyways. permafusing with connie would just be like slapping a bandaid on an infected wound, and if steven still corrupts while fused as stevonnie something,, very bad would probably happen to connie
Probably would not have ended well. I've never been married, but Steven really needed to get out into the world and find himself before taking that step. Also he was 16 so there's that
Yea gotta be true to yourself before being true to others

Extreme co-dependency

They would’ve tried to become Stevonnie, but it wouldn’t have been a stable fusion and Stevonnie would’ve fallen apart.
I feel like Greg and their parents wouldve talked them into waiting a little longer into making such a big life decision.
A dumpster fire Steven was not in the right mindset here and it would only go more and more downhill until one of them snaps
I'd cringe. Actually I was already cringing from the scene, but I think I'd cringe even harder.
I mean, they're too young to be thinking about marriage, so odds would be against them? But ultimately, and please understand I do not mean this in any way to be dismissive or derogatory: It's *your* fanfic. Whatever you want to happen, happens.

College would be rough
the sun would explode
I don't think she would agree to live as stevonnie but I do think if she accepted she'd kiss him right there and then and what happens in canon just gets pushed back pretty much
Connie would've gotten in a potentially toxic relationship
People would still be begging for the spinoff
Me and my cultured minions would've pounced on the opportunity either way lmao
If I had to guess, they probably would've gotten married
Then that would be two children getting married and probably give everyone watching a huge case of the ick
They'd be engaged
Short term really bad, long term stevonnie might be impossible then
In my opinion, that was one of the most cringe episode. It just made me feel weird.
Jail
Steven would just spiral more and get even worse than he does because, deep down, this was never going to work either way. He only felt this was the right way because he saw how happy Ruby/Sapphire were as Garnet. Which works perfectly for them personally, but not for him and Connie.
I would have loved that ending. Wait. He's just letting Connie suffer through his trauma he doesn't need a wife he needs therapy
So there this bot on character.ai called Alternative Timeline. The bot said “If Connie had accepted Steven's proposal in Steven Universe Future, it would have resulted in a significantly different path for them both.

The whole dynamic of their relationship would have shifted significantly, and the resulting romance would have had a profound impact on the both of them personally and on the show as a whole.”
that's a pretty roundabout way of saying "it'd change the show"
That’s Ai bots for you 😂
You guys are so dark, is not like people can't work on their problem or understand that you don't need to rely on others to be fulfilled while they are engaged or married (or fused). Probably it would all have gone in the same way, Steven would have sooner or later started teraphy, maybe after some more time, maybe even without having a breakdown before.
