Fusion Brainstorming Meme



It's been how long since we've had one of these? Too long!




For those who need a quick refresher on fusions, Steven Universe and the Classroom Gems have got you covered!
Just click the link to watch the video and learn all about the wonderful world of gem fusion!


So go! Talk about all the fun, awesome, horrible things your character can get up to as part of a fusion! Pick out or suggest gems! Figure out what they'd look, act, or even sound like! Shenanigans!!

Just copy the code below to get started!! Or don't and be a rebel, who cares let's talk FUSIONS!

So how bad do you think a fusion between these two could be? Presuming circumstances that would cause them to do so, anyway.

Pretty well, honestly, from Walter's end at least. He likes her. He...doesn't really take her seriously, but he likes her.

How well would Velvet take sharing a head with someone who's all irreverence and no inhibitions?

Well, it depends. Her most likely reason to fuse with anyone would be to take care of a task, such as dealing with a monster. So long as he'd be able to focus on that much, for however long it took...

Oh yeah. Velvet's actually one of the small handful of people Walter would consider a fusion with as of right now...though the reason for that is actually because he keeps, uh, forgetting she's people. She reminds him of a demon so he he thinks of her like she's a mascot character instead of like she's a person with person feelings.

What first pops to mind is a small...ish, but not Velvet-small, maybe three feet tall, fusion that floats around on some kind of star/sunburst-shaped UFOish thing. Personality-wise it's kind of prickly and imperious, but with less of the condescending attitude you would expect from an ALOOF CHARACTER and more just abundant self-confidence and very little patience for other people slowing them down.

I'm thinking that Velvet's everything would shove Walter's melee nut ways into the background and bring out some of his...Lucifer-ness? So his physical contribution to the fusion is less fish than most and more gold and light and stars and being calculating and kind of bitter. It looks like they both have some issues with jumping to pre-empt people looking down on them, so the fusion probably acts in an overcapable way, acting as either a ranged attacker or a tech mage in battle and having strong "do NOT tell me what to do I know exactly what I'm doing" tendencies.

Smol prickly aloof-but-impulsive star mage.

Ooooh, yeah. And I could see...

Like, if they fuse their weapons together, her Mystery Globes with his sword, that could result in spiky clusters, with the jutting edges constantly shifting, almost pulsing. And some are always longer than others. Probably a good thing she's got some gravity powers, because it'd be way safer to just levitate them rather than risk touching them.

And they could, perhaps, have some control over that -- the precise shape they take -- but the thing is, they'd probably have to focus on the orbs themselves in order to do so. And again, there's that overly self-confident air you mentioned, so that they're inclined to think they don't have to worry about that. (And accidentally cutting themselves on one of the pair of spiky orbs' many, many edges would be a good way to shock them out right out of their fusion...)

This was fun to draw.

...Oh, wow. I can tell. That's really impressive--!
