Introducting my Evil!Steven AU idea
Credit to @wiltingpierrot the mad lad who made the art
Okay, basically it's a Steven that has....mentally shattered, in his timeline he did almost everything like in the show and movie, but when he got older, the stress of being a diamond of homeworld slowly weighed heavier and heavier, so he decided to use the magical hourglass to visit his past to live the simpler days.....but after visiting his past, he had a deep desire, for his current future to disappear, so he can live without the stress and pain, and the hourglass tried it's best to grant that kind of future....but something went wrong, and he ended up trapped between the different flows of time, 5 whole years unable to age, nor die, in pure isolation, unable to go home due to hourglass becoming partly broken, allowing him to visit parallel timelines but never go back home, due to all of this he has mentally fractured, thinking of other Stevens' as "fakes" and tries to kill them to replace them and find a home in that universe.....as you suspect, this goes horribly wrong and the crystal gems of said universe tries to get revenge, causing him to shatter the "fake" gems, because in his messed up mind "those weren't my friends, the crystal gems would never hurt me", so he wonders timeline to timeline, killing Stevens and Crystal Gems, consuming their gem shards, which grants him the gems' powers and weapons, but he lost his ability to fuse, use bubbles, heal, and finally his shield....but also the gem shards fuse to his body and after consuming so many some of those shards have fused together and now his body and mind is in constant threat of being torn from the inside out, to put it simply, he's an insane gem consumer on a path of self destruction unless someone manages to get through to him and bring him back to the light
His story arc is that of a fallen hero, he can become good again but his mind will never fully become whole again, but he isn't insane, out of all the timelines he always never harms nor kill Greg, feeling absolute love and respect for him, but on that same note he feels blind rage towards Pink Diamond for all the horrible things she ever did
he wears a half-tragedy half-comedy mask, his body is more lean and lanky than normal Stevens, wears a sort of red circus ringmaster outfit with a red top hat, and his gem is more rainbow colored, bigger, more jagged and sharp
1. mental conflict between his heart and mind, sort of a Jekyll and Hyde-ish in the sense he's afraid of what he has become and rejects his other killer half
2. sort of PTSD, similar to how some AUs have it so that Spinel is terrified of being left alone or told to stay somewhere, Evil Steven is horrified of complete silence due to his 5+ years isolation in the timeless void between timelines
I'm putting this out because I don't plan on doing much with him so I rather lay him out for others to have fun with, as a cameo, for fun, or just an excuse to have a AU crossover without the massive plot hole
