Stella and the Metal Men

k

Best way to keep things going I guess

Honestly i'm not too pleased with the drawing i made, can someone fix him up for me, make him look more like the style of the rest of the AU

I think it was a mistake to make this right when the SU thread are about to multiply in a few hours

How did you even manage to get all of thes

Some other user kept the list up to like sixth or seventh thread, I've just got it up to date.

Who?

Stella’s rival
We decided a couple threads ago

Is there a narrative reason his arm is missing?

Our version is more original and less gay

Birth defect

I mean why'd you decide to give him a birth defect?

It’s a thematic parallel to Stella, and he eventually gets a silver arm

Well you asked for a narrative reason, not a meta reason but OK
I honestly can't remember

He’s a narrative parallel to Stella, his stump of an arm represents that both are similar in personality, but he lacked the important connections that she had when she was young. Turning him bitter and cold

Do you know the Stefanie And The Metalloids fancomic (that seems to have been born to a Yas Forums idea even before stella)?
It's pretty good AU, it seems genderswapped Steven and gems in some parts but in other is different enough to be it's own thing.
What do you think of it?

That is not the reason, trust me, i drew him myself, i thought about giving him just two arms but i read i few other post that made me change my mind for reasons i forgot about but i'll try to remember

>

Oh, ok. I thought that was the reason. Sorry for assuming

That's fine, but don't worry, i'll try to remember

OK, after reading the previous thread i remember, so i was gonna give him two arms but quite a few other anons suggested he have a silver left arm to be more of an opposite to Stella, i thought that was a cool idea but i had to come up with how he got it, i thought about him loosing an arm but i felt like that was too cliche so i just made it a birth defect, after i made the drawing i had to come up with a backstory so i made this

Oh shit the links to those post didn't work, but you can search for those numbers in the previous thread
Also i do really like your ideas despite not being the narrative reason, so maybe we can incorporate them in a way

Perhaps, I always look at a story in two ways at once, physical and symbolic
>physical: he is missing an arm because he has a birth defect
>symbolic: he is missing a vital part of his life that Stella has

Well like i said in the previous thread, (That i recently remembered after reading it again) he does see Stella as having the life he should have had

>Yas Forums made 2 versions of the same idea
What does that makes you feel?

>How does that makes you feel?
ftfy

What is your opinion on Stella’s pet yellow footed tortoise, Solomon

I'm really not a fan. It feels like a cheap offbrand and I'm just not feeling it. You lost Steven's appeal and put nothing in to replace it.
And thus it feels hollow.

>This is one of Stella's alternate selves and she's just as annoying as magical girl Stella

Steven Universe is over. All that's left is Stella.

I never knew I needed this so deeply until now.
As for the gold "virus", I feel it should be:
-Technology from before Gold's reign
-Possibly the result of research into making alien organic species as durable and capable as metal men-comparatively "cheap" and renewable soldiers.
Useful for when resources are running low to replace lost infantry.
Evolution juice that could make a creature mutate into a bipedal fighter.

The serum vanished from the galaxy after a group of metal man insurgents from an opposing army destroyed the research. Countless caches of serum were destroyed, and the researchers behind it were never seen again.

Without any records of how to produce it, the serum became lost technology.

Pucci/Sephiroth priest guy stumbles upon a cache of it in a ruin. He's amazed. Upon interacting with it, he activates it. Centuries old and defective, it experiences a catastrophic failure. It ruptures and sprays him with an overdose of the serum.

Perceiving an image of Gold, his serum addled mind mistakes him for a god. This image is part of the serum's "mental programming" aspect-instilling feelings of loyalty.
The control mechanism for the serum degraded-instead of the command "assemble forces (100,000 fighters) and signal metal men" it simply gave him a drive to spread the serum to anyone and everyone, ad infinitum.
It's meant to sustainably raise armies, not force every member of a species into service (rendering it extinct).
tl;dr He got an overdose of expired/malfunctioning metal man superhuman serum and thinks God told him to spread the serum.

Aside from wings and flight, what abilities should the serum grant him. Personally I think he should have more than just physical abilities, he should have some kind of psychic/energy based ability as well
Also, this is just an idea that I thought would be fun, while other season one villains become little more than annoyances to Stella, or pledge their allegiance to a greater threat, the priest remains a constant threat to Stella’s safety and way of life

Here’s an idea
Because the serum was used up in him, the process of creating more soldiers has become a bit more complicated
People must be converted over time through exposure to bits of his blood, and even then, they aren’t 100% loyal to him
However, due to his overdose, the priest has the ability to telepathically communicate with those that he has converted
Because of the lengthy process of converting people, he usually seeks out those who wish to be changed, and due to the faulty serum mixed with his blood, nobody is ever changed in the exact same way

I regret having drawn Lead, this autism should have never started

How would Stella feel about him?

Probably concerned since he’s going all Evanescence

Other abilities:
Generation of energy beams (inherited from plutonium, but not full gamma rads)
As a ranged option, not spammable or particularly devastating.

Hmmm, that could be fun. Perhaps the beams he generates are superheated, so they leave a trail of fire(orange or blue whichever you prefer) in their wake. The could even call it the fire of god, or the smite from god

Will it even be the same

btw i forgot to mention that i tried to make his hair slicked back like pic related but i kinda fucked up so can someone fix that for me please

I like to think early mafia episodes are supposed to be a one off jokes. In SUF they actually become a threat.

Alien tech black market and protecting aliens from humans would be great for older Stella.

That’s the fun thing about humans in any science fiction world, you always assume that we’re not going to be the most dangerous thing you face, but we’re crafty little buggers. We take everything in the universe, and reverse engineer it to suit our own needs. The biggest threat to the Metal empire, is probably a bunch of humans trying to build a shadow portal, and either not knowing or not caring about the risk

I think you replied to the wrong post

Fuck humanwank. Get over yourselves

We aren’t the most dangerous thing, but we are dangerous
We’re really good at building weapons out of stuff that we don’t understand

You shouldn't group every human together as if every single one can murder aliens

Yes, and aliens are probably great at those things and more and have laser eyes

Probably, before the diamonds murdered them all

No shit, humans doing amazing shit IRL are only amazing because it is deadly to humans in the first place.
