Stella and The Metal Men Thread

I'm working on a character that can be the Connie to Stella's Steven, or at least the opposite of that, like a rival character that doesn't like her

Connie already doesn’t like Stella and is a rival

This already has more thought put into it than SU post S3.
Just don't have a lame safe plot where every bad guy gets away with everything and you're good.

What's the point of making this fanfiction it's own thing with characters that are meant to be he opposite of SU characters if you people are just making Stella an OC inserted into a regular SU fanfiction where the SU characters get more focus than the characters you people are creating,, this is just a glorified self insert fanfiction staring a Mary Sue tomboy just so people can coom over isn't it

What a sperg

I'm not the one autistic enough to gush over a shitty OC and act like it's the next big thing

>Next big thing
I'll have you know that we aren't channelposters and don't expect Stella to be anything more than our little autistic worldbuilding recurring thread.

>worldbuilding
There's no world building in this, you're all just leaching off of SU's world building

>t. Hasn't read threads
Okay.

I have read the threads and while they were interested at one point it quickly devolved into waifufaging and people even started self inserting as Steven to image themselves with there tomboy Mary Sue

What the fuck, I thought we agreed on waiting till next Friday?
This thread will have even less steam than the last one.

Does anyone have any character sheet references for some characters? I wanna draw stuff in mspaint

It's Friday right now

I wanna make stuff too, not really Stella stuff though but my own creations, how is MSPaint when it comes to that stuff

I think he means the friday after the next. There should really be 1-2 week gaps between these threads or it would quickly run out of steam

Extremely Limiting but if your skills are already limited, that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Seriously, How do I draw the Stella?

bump

At least bump with content, or content-bait, such as:
>Chrome and Amethyst, on the run from the cops because they saw it in a movie once and wanted to try it out
>Pearl and Iron having to grudgingly cooperate in a stakeout when Stella and Steven goes camping and ended up accidentally busting a poacher ring
>Bronze and Garnet just sitting on a bench at the park, trading stories and feeding the pigeons - Bronze half-remembering past battles and Garnet checking the future ripples of those battles, both glad that the Metals and the Gems managed some kind of peace, how tentative it may be
Turns out Bronze had been present in many critical points of the Metal Men's history, such as the genocide of Leads that led to the Guncube, and the first amalgamation of Chromes

>that episode where it's revealed that Chrome's last name is Johnson
>it doesn't tie in to anything and has no bearing on plot, he just wanted a last name for some reason

>accusing MM threads of coomerfaggotry, of all things
I've been around since october and believe me when I say that it's a recent occurrence.
Plus, we are pretty fucking mild when it comes to coom/self-inserting as Steven when compared to Magne family threads.

What do Metal Men think of these guys?

OK, i'll believe you
>Magne family threads.
What's that

She should be a brunette

Also she's a human/alien hybrid, not a Muppet

>What's that
Doomguy×Charlie from Hazbin Hotel with Steven as their adopted son.
Yeah.

Oh yeah, I've seen those threads, just never entered any of them

Well, I've been there and coomershit is their prime directive.
They don't even care if their characters are OOC, it's like a porn-parody AU.
Between us, them, Legion of Doom and Steven Multiverse, we aren't the horniest nor most autistic.
Not by a longshot.

Stella was a brunette before the doughnuting, according to one of Stelladrawfag's arts.

What the fuck is that

Being turned into a donut, as in she got fisted and penetrated deep

In all seriousness, she was attacked by enemy metals who punched through her chest like paper. When she woke up she had no daddy, a new heart, a new hair color, and a totally fucked metabolism where she desires healthy foods and constant exercise to get the heart pumpin'

Attached: nBq7YZL_d.jpg (503x614, 33K)

Her metabolism doesn't actually affect her tastes in food, the reason as to why she prefers healthy food is because junkfood wasn't a "sometimes food" for her.
t. user who came up with this.

Based. Kid protagonists should really model proper nutrition. Eating /fit/ doesn't have to be torture.

I mean, she probably enjoys original pizza or good BBQ, but if she wants something sweet, she'll eat an orange.

OK, but how does that change hair color

What does she put on her pizza

Alien dad heart mutation magic or some shit.

But why blonde, it doesn't suit her

>But why blonde
Because gold.

Meat and veggies.
Sometimes anchovies.

What’s this about, again?

Autism, but apparently not as autistic as the rest

Steven Universe AU about a tomboy girl and her Metal Men uncles.

Hole through torso

Last thread there was an idea for some season one antagonists being humans, and being based on video game bosses. Such as a Robotnik style scientist who wanted to use Stella to power his machines, and a fat treasure hunter based on Wario. What are some other ideas for season one human villains and why do they hate Stella? and yes, Stella accidentally becoming their nemesis while in the Stellar Moon trance is a perfectly valid reason for them to hate her

What about an Akuma guy who’s offended by aliens existing and wants to beat Stella to prove human superiority or something?

That would be really cool.
An idea I had: a Blue/Gary style rival to Stella who intentionally put herself in a lab accident to gain superpowers to prove to Stella that she was better than her
Good luck on your drawings! You always make amazing things

He sounds neat, maybe have him go for silver or something, and like base him more off Silver from the Johto games

Sounds fun, also any ideas on what kind of powers he could have while attempting to become Stella’s rival? Originally I had an idea where he would go into Carlos’s lab and supercharge one of the devices in an attempt to gain powers? Carlos is a character who builds robots who I have planned for a future greentext where some of football players trick him into giving them one of his drones so that they can spy on the cheerleader sleepover. Stella sees the drone and finds the van they’re spying on her from

Maybe he gets a suit or limbs

That could be pretty cool. Maybe he could get a silver mechanical left arm to cement him as her opposite and rival

Alright, so here’s my interpretation of some alt Stellas from different timelines and how they mirror the original

>BF/Queen Stella
Comes from a timeline where Alice was adopted by royals, leading that Stella to become a spoiled princess. During a royal assassination attempt, Stella was injured by a bomber, and a billet grazed by her brain, leading to Gold’s sacrifice and the golden crown crown
>rules the empire with an iron grip through either force or brainwashing. Has a soft spot for her family and friends

>Nemesis
>a Stella from a timeline where Red won, causing the shadows to devour everything.
>She donned black and gold mandalorian style armor and cane to the prime timeline to ensure her future never happens. Tries to be a mentor to Stella without revealing her true identity

>Absurdity aka Stella after surviving too long
>a version of Stella who achieved immortality using her golden heart and survived after the heat death of her universe at the price of her sanity and self identity
>has the ability to warp reality, but cannot kill, revive the dead, change the past, or go back on a promise
>hangs around and trolls Stella and the metals because they remind her of people but she can’t remember who

>Magical Girl Stella
A version of Stella who couldn’t handle the stress of being a galactic hero, so she asked Carol to permanently turn her into her peppy magical girl personality
>acts far more girly and scatterbrained that prime Stella, and often sings
>the metals aren’t sure if Stella made the right choice, but she seems happier than she was before

What are they like? And could they maybe get either an arm or implants like
Said?

>Thread is suffering from a serious lack of best girl
We must fix this!
Post ideas for Stella and Carol shenanigans

Since this thread was an accidental premature thread, I’ll just use it for to make an announcement and a request

I will be making a funny greentext next thread

Please use the image of Stella reacting to Carol giving Stella her cheer uniform for the next thread, because that image is hilarious

>Chrome and Amethyst getting married in Vegas

>they only did it because their hotel's restaurant was offering discounts to married couples

>Piper has been been waiting since her time in the academy to catch a fugitive and jumps at the chance to catch the duo
>Sean recognizes it as nothing more than a shenanigan and desperately tries to deescalate the situation
>Piper uses the offer of a police escort to bribe Stella for information on Chrome and Amethyst

>both go to the heart attack grill and eat free because Amethyst can adjust her weight and Chrome weighs like 500lbs

I keep posting my shit, but I never actually get any responses. So here's my Plutonium design. I wanted to try and experiment with some expressions. Who's he arguing with? Probably Titanium.

Titanium is probably reminded of some of the Early Metal Empire days where they were no different from the gems he hates.

Attached: image.jpg (1319x1903, 567K)

I like your artwork! I think it’s neat

>Not much even changes, Amethyst still lives with the Gems and Chrome’s doing hisbthung.
>Amethyst will still make sure to take special care of her wedding ring, cleanest thing she owns

>while at the casino they meet a genetically enhanced raccoon who’s basically a sonic expy
>find out casino is owned by Robotnik style villain
>90% of the games and machines are rigged, and all the money is used to fund his mechanical creations
>the three decide to rob the casino as revenge for taking their money

>Amethyst-and Chrome are eventually found in the hands of the mob as Chrome ends up Rain Manning his way to millions

Has Stella ever been to comic con? And if so, what did she do while there

Almost got molested by a guy dressed as Green Lantern

Kek

Thanks, I guess.
Here's a robe less Titanium I began a while ago, but never got around to finishing.
It's very clearly Senator Armstrong inspired, along with some of my Titanium bust song with it.
I might make a more formal robe design sometime.
Haven't really gotten around to much Metal men stuff. Been busy trying to smooth out my style.

He was found in the alleyway dumpster with both of his arms and a leg broken I'd assume?

I like the casino subplot, not so much the Eggman/Sonic bit.
How about a villain who salvages Gem and Metal technology and uses them to make bizarre weapons to sell on the black market?

Attached: image.jpg (1511x1898, 626K)

That and his crotch got donuted

Sounds good! Personally I was just trying to see how big of a train wreck the casino situation could become, and the obvious solution seemed to be throw in an extremely eccentric villain
Indeed it does

Looks good

Idea of a reoccuring character for solo Iron episodes:
>15 y/o son of a mafia boss
>seeks revenge on Iron for getting his father to jail
>can use real guns and other illegal weapons, but nothing's effective enough for Iron to not shake off/stay one step ahead of
>Iron doesn't do anything permanent about him because his attitude reminds him of Stella and because their "games" keep him busy enough to not do any real crime

I like him
>Iron’s too busy handling actual mafia bosses to deal with the brat
>gives him to Stella as her first “antagonist”
>neither of them are happy with this situation

I haven't been here since the first SatMM threads
Can anyone here summarize what some of the main themes are at this point?

>Iron taks away all of Son's real guns and gives him paintball ones instead
>both Stella and Son are dissapointed by it

>son gives himself cybernetic implants to make himself strong and fast enough to compete with Stella
>uses illegally bought supersuit to counter her powers
>Iron still insists that they’re just kids fighting and there’s no reason for him to intervene

>it's a pandemic PSA episode

Attached: Rusted_megatron.jpg (640x480, 84K)

>cybernetic implants
>supersuit
Meh, I'd still prefer him to be squarely within human capabilities, for comedy's sake. Plus, he's still mainly Iron's "nemesis", not Stella's.

>"Well, you kids look like you've had fun. Wanna ride home?"
>"FINE! But I'll be back for your head, tin can!"
>"Good to hear. Now come on, I'll... Why aren't you coming?"
>" Oh, I'm good here. Ju-u-ust open your car and..."
>"You've boobytrapped it, didn't you?"
>"...Goddamn tin can..."
>"We'll take the bus."

Alright, but I still think he should have some way to even the odds with Iron
Maybe he’s a kind of hyper prepared tactician who can predict exactly where Iron will be

>he starts working multiple minimum wage jobs just to buy experimental weaponry/tech from assassin/dark web version of Ebay
>even though he works his ass for them, all he can afford is third-world crap that never works as intended

>his perfect Batman tier plans go awry due to the MM universe equivalent of ACME and Wile E Cyote level shenanigans

please elaborate more. I still don't know how to draw the Stella.
What's so alien about her? do you have examples?

>Iron starts to empathize with him even more, since he has to apply similar strategies to take down other MM/Gems

>His grand keikaku threatening the omniverse is foiled by Steven dropping his fudgesicle

She’s got a golden arm, and a heart of literal gold. There might be a few more areas that were replaced by gold
Remember she was in a car accident around the age of five, and Gold Leaf had to replace and repair all of the damaged areas
Maybe some other parts were replaced, like when she’s in her cheerleader uniform you can see that a bit of her body on the right side of her midriff was also replaced by gold

>he decides to kidnap Stella to lure Iron into a trap
>Stella doesn’t care because she doesn’t see him as a threat
>Iron doesn’t care because Stella can handle it
>he gets bored and starts explaining his master plan to Stella. Says the wrong thing then snaps to get her attention
>Stella is already mid transformation when he finds out the hard way that Carol forgot to take out the Magical Girl trigger she put in Stella during the events of Stellar Moon

So are we still going for the idea of Red being the final boss after fusing with Adamantine?

I thought Adamantine was a mythical metal like Mithril?

>"You're like a son I've never had. Or rather, would never have. You're kind of bad at this assassination thing, you know."

Stella drawfag here, kinda avoided the thread because I staunchly believe we should have 1-2 week gaps to keep fresh and fun and avoiding the spergouts. Since the thread is still catching some steam and hasn't gone full retard, I'll contribute.

Gotta say, the ideas here got potential but to avoid confusion for newcomers and to add to the thread, I came up with a timeline of events, how the story should go, and how to interject the ideas floating around here.

Attached: Our Boi Chrome.jpg (3264x2448, 242K)

I agree on the two week rule.

What’s your timeline. You’re ideas are always great, so lay it on me

>(2/?) Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about something, idea and writefags

Long story short, the threads started out as a what if? scenario with Steven Universe. Metal Men were a favorite fan theory in the early seasons, Sneople because Ronaldo being right about everything is funny, and Shadows were the anti-Gems.

Metal Men in a nutshell: The opposite of the Gempire. Constant internal wars, anarchy and factions rise and fall, and selfish bastards like Gold rise up and dominate anyone weaker. However, everyone is still technically free. Individuality, self expression, and self improvement are championed in MM society, at the expense of order.

Exceptions include:
>The Chrome Collective
A failed attempt to compete against the Gempires' Sapphires. To get advanced and accurate future predictions, a bunch of Chromes decided to link minds. It went insane and went full SKYNET, destroying the Chrome forgeworld. The majority of Chromes became a hivemind of space Terminators. The few Chromes, like our shiny boi, became outcasts.

Attached: 1572626806118.jpg (3264x2448, 1.33M)

>Ey Tony

(3/?)
>Leads
Once a beautiful and hopeful forgeworld, the Lead forgeworld is now a war torn hellscape. Leads were once decent people, but after getting cut off from the rest of the MM forgeworlds, Leads fell into civil war. Constant war, violence, pollution and rust from the piling dead Leads that littered the planet poisoned their minds. (Lead poisoning, heh). Mentally degraded and war hungry, Leads became a menace to the rest of the galaxy once they've been reunited with the rest of the MM. They use their own dead as armor, weapons, and even ammo. They've built factories that devour the rusting dead to create more Leads to spread their poison to the galaxy. It is said that they've even built their own God of Warfare...
>The Bronze Legion
Something we haven't really looked to deep into, but I got my little headcanon.

The failure of the new MM empire to keep order after overthrowing their previous rulers and the rise of the Chrome Collective and Leads degrading created fear amongst the MM. A good portion decided to become a legion of alloys (MM equivalent of fusion) teamed up and became the Bronze Legion. Disenfranchised by phony "free" governments and only desire to preserve themselves, they raid and attack both MM and Gems. They've enslaved many worlds, from Gem, Metal, and organic life. They believe in absolute order and that the weak should bow before the strong. With a twisted sense of unity and comradory, the Bronze Legion stand together.

One of their strongest general was sent out to hunt down one of the few Golds that still exist. Though he was widely believed to have died on glorious combat, in reality, he is currently raising his once arch enemy's daughter, and has been rewarded with the "Foxy Grandpa" mug at the local veterans retirement home for being the longest serving volunteer.

He helped implement Steak Sundays at the community center on base for the troops and organized karaoke night for the science team.

>The Shadow People
The antithesis to Gems and Metals. Creatures that devour light, and are so removed from our reality that contact with them breeds madness. Countless Gems met a true death to these horrors, as they are pure light. Metals have their very souls stripped from them, as their cores are drained. Organic life either fell to madness or died to entropy as these creatures devour their sun. At first glance, they seem to only devour all in their path. However, stories of variants exist. Shadows that seem to bend reality, creating your worst nightmares to become reality.

For some reason, a Shadow is making it's way to earth. Possibly because it smelled Diamond energy. PINK UNINTENTIONALLY RUINS EVERYTHING ONCE AGAIN

Initially with black hair and mostly human attributes, many scientists on base were interested in such an anomaly. Many agents were A-OK with a 2nd Earth defense force. Many of the troops got excited at the idea of shooting alien weaponry. Upon realizing that Gems and Metals are mortal enemies, the government does their damndest to keep both of them a secret from the other. They were 100% correct in doing so, because when one discovered the other, millions of tax payer dollars went to collateral damage.

Alice and GL were happy with each other, despite Alice being a cripple and her dreams of being an astronaut died a painful death. She has Gold Leaf. She has Stella. Much like her own parents who abandoned everything to allow her a bright future, Alice abandoned everything to preserve Earth's bright future.

Besides, Stella is her own bright star.

Of course it all comes crashing down when a few of GL's enemies discovered his location AND his family. Guess who's the first one on their hit list?

>Young Stella was once a semi-normal kid, alien dad not withstanding
>went to school on base, enjoyed food, and did basic toddler stuff
>black hair like her mother, and with the same enthusiasm as a younger Alice
>one night, Alice tucked Stella to bed, explaining to her that daddy was busy on a mission but will be home soon
>she'll finally get to see her daddy for the first time in a long time

>the next thing she remembered, she watched all her Metal uncle's on the ground, beaten and broken
>the last thing she heard before blacking out was her mother crying and holding her body

>Stella wakes up the next morning
>Her hair a gold blonde, her mom by her side, and a heavy feeling in her chest
>"Momma, where's daddy?"

I genuinely hope that the metal responsible for mortally wonding Stella survived because I’m starting to plan out a fate for him that is far worse than death

Yeah that is something we never really touched upon. I got a nice little idea tho. Instead of some evil entity, the guy who did it is actually a generally good guy. He cares for his people, he follows orders, however, he follows Gold.

Gold is an asshole, but not everyone knows that. Everyone thinks he's a great and kind leader. Kinda like Homelander, a shining hero to everyone BUT his enemies, who are few of them because they keep dying. Gold Leaf knows he's an asshole, so Gold sends a hit squad.

In Stella's view, the Metals who did that were hulking giant monsters that destroyed her house and "killed" her which in turn killed her dad. Every flashback with them is nightmarish and horrifying, but that's because it was with 8 year old Stella's perspective.

To an 8 year old, EVERYONE is a giant.

The Metal who actually did it? Neither of them recognized the other when they met. Stella's older, with a new perspective. She meets a stainless steel, a swashbuckling charming bad bot that bends the rules and crosses the line of being a troublemaker, but still a noble hero. Problem is, he's still an alien.

Much like the gems, he doesn't comprehend humans. He didn't know Stella was a kid, he didn't know GL could become an important human organ, he wasn't there. To Stella, it was a horrible and tragic day that changed her life forever.

To Stainless Steel and the hit squad, it was the equivalent of the ATF shooting the home owners dog.

Since the idea of Stella having a rival was discussed, I just came up with the perfect name for Stella’s rival
>Hailey Brangwen
Hailey as a reference to Halley’s Comet
Brangwen meaning dark and pure like the expanse of space

>7/7
Stella's new body is considered dangerous to the kids around her. For a long time, she was kept away from school and slowly groomed to becoming a child soldier.

After much pleading, Stella is sent to a private school to try and get in touch with her humanity. She meets Carol, and Connie. Early Connie was kind of a bitch and a loner because her family keeps moving place to place, Carol is a popular girl but with a kind heart. After hospitalizing 3 bullies, Stella gets taken away and returns to her military base. Connie gets moved again because her overzealous parents heard "hospitalized kids" and took Connie out of that school, forever cementing their hatred for each other.

Carol stays in contact with Stella, as she is her only connection to the civilian world. In base, Stella is examined and trained by scientists, soldiers, agents, and any other top brass. They keep contact with our Earth Metals:
>Chrome: biker gear and helmet wearing rebel
>pretty comfy with humans and regularly chills out with the marines on base driving around in Black Ford Raptor Trucks
>respects the average Joe and hates the elite and authority because he's seen what "people who are smarter than you" are capable of when not in check
>Bronze: Old and wise warrior
>teaches Stella and helps the veterans and community centers near base
>secretly making amends to the weakest and forgotten people for his centuries of pillaging and raiding as he was basically the equivalent of General Greivious and Legate Lanious rolled into one
>Iron: unofficial leader and the closest ally to Stella's father
>doesn't like Alice
>at all

Stuck in the Mojave in a military base near a bizarre town that's really into UFO's, Stella is trained to be this blood knight heavy hitter and defender of humanity.

Over time, with the help of Carol, Alice, and a few misadventures, Stella learns what it means to be human.

Thanks!

Don’t forget the priest designed after Sephiroth who was infected by the Gold Virus and sees the Metals as gods and leads a cult of Metal-worshipping humans.

Originally I conceived as wanting to exterminate mankind for being unworthy beings in comparison to Stella and the metals but I think a cult leader works better. He would definitely see Stella as a Christ-like figure.

This is now a pre-donut Stella thread

Vincent or “Vinny” came to mind.

Kinda dark but I can dig it

Maybe Stella could first find out about the priest when she finds someone with enhanced strength and some gold fakes around their body
the priest is trying and failing to recreate a being like himself what do you think of that?

What do Metal Men think of these guys?

How about Reno?

Those could be what those breed of Metals look like. How does Obsidian work? I know it’s considered both a metal and a stone but what would Gems think of him?

Silver’s got a cool design and motif, I like to think all Silvers are like dashing cavaliers.

>Those could be what those breed of Metals look like. How does Obsidian work? I know it’s considered both a metal and a stone but what would Gems think of him?
Honorary gem like Bismuth.
A mineral that can be called either metal or gem if it likes it

>Those could be what those breed of Metals look like

Well except for Titanium since we already have Titanium White. But I really like Silver and Obsidian’s designs enough to consider them canon and Steels being a samurai-inspired breed makes enough sense but I think they should look more like traditional Japanese artwork caricatures like pic related.

/sug/ doesn't care about OCs

I guess that writefaggotry about Arsenic and Tungsten last thread is basically forgotten now? Such is life I suppose

Terrifying, especially since that would mean that Steven secretly wanted to show no mercy

He’s tired of playing nice. He just wants to go apeshit.

>After the events of the magical girl incident, Carol informs Stella that hypnosis cannot force someone to do anything that they don’t want to do
How does she react?

Probably not surprised, anybody with a decent understanding of humans can tell Steven bottles all his negative emotions to be schmaltzy

No, I mean how would she react to also knowing that the entire magical girl event was a bottled up part of her own personality

Denial but accepts it when she embraces her femininity more as she got older.

Does Stella ever feel a bit mad?

Feeling a bit mad is her constant state.

I meant the other kind of mad

You did it?

We need more stories of Carol either helping Stella with some of her issues or hypnotizing her into funny situations

So, what are your ideas for stories like that?

Hypnosis should be a one off, because it's a fetish.

Stella deserves better. "Stop trying to give her brain damage" is something her mom and metal uncle's would say

Attached: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MAGNUS.png (778x1196, 1.08M)

I agree honestly; I know it for s lot of mileage in the past two threads but hypnotism doesn’t make sense when Golds literally have a will so strong it no-sells entropy.

I hadn’t considered the fetish angle. Yeah, it should be a one off thing in order to avoid coomers
Although I still think it could be used to figure out who doughnuted Stella by going into her memories

I think it was meant for a single comedy greentext and then people kept joking about it
Also, on the note about Gold’s will bring stronger than entropy, I’m currently trying to figure out a good possible greentext plotline for Absurdity (a version of Stella who’s will was so strong strong that she survived the heat death of the universe and gained minor realty warping powers, but lost her sanity in the process and became more similar to shadows than to humans) any ideas?
I really want to have a few fun short stories with her trolling Stella in order to teach her asops that make little to no sense, but I can’t think of any right now

Does Stella watch anime?
Has she ever been inspired by an anime and attempted to recreate a weapon using her gold arm?

Eh, I don’t know if she should be that strong,

Maybe her powers could be an upgraded version of Stella’s guilding with the addition of creating psychic illusions
She’s not that powerful, but she definitely seems powerful

Berserker mode?

Valkyrie Stella vs Berserker Steven

>does Stella watch anime?

I can see Stella as a weeb honestly. That’s probably a facet of her fighting style. Metal Men martial arts training, cheerleader acrobatics, wrestling moves and shit she’s seen from anime and video games is what her fighting style looks like. Most of her Gold Arms (constructs) is most likely inspired by shit she’s seen from her chinese cartoons.

I'm curious. How would the MM and Stella interact with other gems? Bad? Good?

First interaction? Very bad. Considering the MM empire’s encounter with Black Diamond and the general consensus among the metals that Gems are horrible planetary-scale parasites.

Someone is gonna lose some eyes
I can see her getting sick of Lapis real quick

Should we call Stella’s golden form her Valkyrie form?

We've talked about it in the past and the general consensus is that she dislikes all CG except for the Amethyst, and even then only in small doses.

It’s mainly because she doesn’t like fat people.

*and even then she can tolerate het only in small doses.

Yes, but only the shows that a bunch of sweaty virgins from the SU version of estonian blanketknitting forum view as "patrician" enough.

>Stella attempting to recreate the rending scissors from Kill La Kill
>she accidentally makes them too heavy and immediately falls over upon its creation

To be fair, gems literally reproduce like viruses
Metals are manufactured

Oh but when zombies do it, they get to be cool, and superheroes and rape people in Garth Ennis comics. Where’s Pearl’s parade?

>Iron: Those damn filthy Pearls don’t deserve a parade

So do we still do those giant Shadows formed when tiny ones collapse into each other?

I like it. Did we ever talk about how Stella would deal with her first Shadow encounter? I was thinking she could be visiting a planet she used to go to all the time as a kid, only to find its sun is currently under siege by Shadows

This thread is about interactions between the characters for now. But if you want a screencap here you go.

What type of anime? From the movie clips I saw, isn't Steven now a boxing-style fighter?
Imagine some Hajime no Ippo tier boxing between the two of them where they both just recover after a good night's rest.

That works. Black shirt Steven does better than blue shirt, edgier.

I don't think Stella's that sort of fighter.

>This is before the time skip to Future happens

Have there been any soldiers in the base who specifically asked Stella to refine them?

For some reason, I’m now imagining a before and after scene with the before being Carol dragging a kicking and screaming Stella to the mall, and the after being future Stella casually walking in wearing an outfit that if far more feminine than Stella is currently ok with

Probably not. I don't think Stella can refine people indefinitely, or if she can, she probably refuses to unless it'll save someone. She'd view it as an easy way out

I imagine that the process of refining takes a lot of energy. She doesn’t have a limit to how many times she can refine things, but the cool down period is extremely long

Better if Stella thought 'refining' is a term for Bronze's martial training. Cue soldiers thinking they'd get cool golden cyborg bits getting the literal Spartan training that ended up bringing their full human potential anyways

Since the previous thread came up with the idea of Adamantine using metals as hosts for far older ones of the same type that perished, I've got an idea.
>Adamantine at first seems to be a generic tyrant like Darkseid who wants to take over all of the Metals
>He's seen as a Satanic figure by the metals, and for many reasons
>As it turns out, he doesn't really want to take over anymore.
>The truth is, the metals were a far larger race before the war with the gems, of which massive death tolls for many metals fell.
>He mostly only seeks to restore what was once there, albeit by sacrificing many of his own kind.

>somewhere along the way Steven starts to think that the training Stella forces him to do with her is simply to torment him
>and, while a part of it is true, that's also the way she learned to connect with people by her uncles and soldiers back at the base

I remember that idea. I also remember there was the idea of Sigils, runes capable of channeling the essence of the universe that the Metals discovered in the ruins of a long dead civilization
I’m pretty sure it was decided that sigils where used to revive the dead metals
Maybe Adamantine could be a master sigil user, meaning not only does he have all the metal powers, but he can also channel cosmic essence to fight his foes
>Later Absurdity shows up and offers to give the soldiers cool cyborg bits.
>all she asks in return is their mortal SOUL!

>I’m Stella’s mind, you can only truly know someone once you’ve seen them at their physical limit

Out one dream and in to another

Also, an idea for Red’s ultimate fate, a karmic punishment that involves him being trapped in his body as what’s basically a servitor. He will experience the same fate he doomed so many others to
either that or they just stick his head and core in a roomba and muzzle him so he can’t complain

Since SU Future confirmed that alien animals are a common thing, I had an idea

>while gems destroy the life on the planet they colonize, metals try to live in harmony with the existing life. They build cities away from large forests or choose uninhabited worlds to lay claim to. Some metals even adopt small creatures as pets
>but there is one type of metal that believes that a different type of world is worthy of being called home.
>while most metals will settle worlds with simple non-disruptive wildlife that will largely ignore the foreign population, the Bronzes settle on death worlds! And they fight the massive predators that live there!

I like to believe that Stella's a pretty big nerd in general, just a way more discreet one than "rawr xd" girls.
>that episode where a protagonist from her favorite action game gets brought into the real world with MM tech and she needs to defeat him despite the massive amounts of nostalgia she has for him

I will only accept that plot line if Stella gets to keep some of the weapons from that game
>Stella discovering an RvB style web series that takes place in the same universe as the game she likes

She'd get some sort of weapon comparable to preorder/cross-promotion bonus: cool to look at and use, but not very effective.

Episode Idea:

>Stella must babysit the pet of Carbon Black, a being named Níðhöggr who turns out to be an adorable blue puffball with massive puppy dog eyes

I hope Lapis finds out that this happened.

You want an irredimible powerhungry sociopath to be freed and then talk-no-jutsu'ed by Steven?

So where do you guys get your ideas from? I usually do Shadow stuff so I get mine from comics I’ve read or horror movies.

Lots of varied sources, ideas just pop into my head randomly.
But I've been on a little Suda51 vidya binge recently, so my ideas are in all likelihood indicative of that.

My ideas for Stella’s gold constructs were inspired by Generator Rex and the Devil Arms from Devil May Cry. I also take a lot of inspiration for her fighting style from hack-and-slash/beat ‘me up video games like No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, DMC and Battletoads.

yes why not

Anime, memes, The Good Place, Generator Rex, Grimm (for character dynamics), crypt tv, and my own mind
Also I always try to link every character of a story to a specific song. It really helps we understand then a bit more when writing them. I currently do this for my own stories, and right now I’m trying to find the right songs for the cast of MM

>Dr. Lucious Von Koyle - A mad scientist from Germany who always has a master plan. With an IQ in the 600 range, Dr. Koyle is quite possibly the smartest human being to have ever lived and his technological creations are unmatched, except for maybe by the Metal Men. Dr. Koyle wishes to use the MM’s technology to further his own creations and has become obsessed with Stella and her golden heart, which could be used as an effective power source for his creations! Despite his seemingly evil nature however, Dr. Koyle does have good intentions as he wishes to use his inventions to benefit mankind. His ultimate dream being to construct a huge, technologically advanced, utopian city so that mankind can thrive but he’s willing to go to extreme lengths and justifies his actions by saying it’s for the good of humanity.
>based on multiple video game mad scientist enemies such as Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Wily and Dr. Neo Cortex. Robotnik being the central inspiration.

Thoughts?

user, even if the character's "super-genius", I don't think that their IQ should double the one ever recorded.

I like him. He sounds like a cool villain

Maybe tone down the IQ a bit, 600 seems like bad donut steel levels of intellect.

How high would an IQ need to be for a character to be able to construct doomsday weapons and robot soldiers? I’m not really going for realism here but if 600 is too high for a human being what would be the limit, 300?

I’d say either 300 or a bit higher

297

>Al Mine - Alan Mine is a world renown treasure hunter who’s daring exploits is known and celebrated by many!... at least that’s what he says. Al Mine is a self proclaimed treasure hunter who is willing to do anything for treasure and the thrill of adventure, even if it means getting killed. He is especially fond of Metal and Gem artifacts, their alien nature making them twice as valuable in his eyes, Al has broken into many of the MM’s strongholds and sanctuaries on Earth and stolen many artifacts, the same with the Gems. Although Al is quite obese, he is surprisingly very strong and agile due to his past of being a circus performer and pro powerlifter, under all that fat is the muscle structure of a gorilla. Stella can’t help but respect Al’s impressive feats in strength, despite his fatness and greed. Al also possesses impressive knowledge on the artifacts he’s stolen and utilizes a lot of them in his expeditions and in battle, such as the Crystal Eye of Medusa, the Obsidian Power Fist and the Staff of Madness.
>Al Mine is based on Wario, specifically his depiction in the Wario Land games

Somewhere around 280 would probably be enough, but even pushing to 300 isn't nearly that much of a stretch.

Alright, I decided to dumb down Dr. Koyle to the 300-320 range, still an impressive IQ but he’s not a galaxy brain.

>Stella arrives at the scene of an ancient metal battle only to watch as a fat man in bright clothes jumps up seven feet in the air and runs off with all the treasures

>The Shadow Zone, a great Void existing beyond the Multiverse and spacetime. One can find no intelligent design here, no grand architect and supreme being to reach or obey, simply its inhabitants wandering and swirling around the dimension. They are not bound by our laws of physics, our understandings of reality, not is it even concrete, existence forming in only the abstract, Shadows being akin to pure thought while in their home, it is only when they enter our world are they trapped into the physical, as lost as we would be in the Shadow Zone, our existences redefined to conform to an alien world.

Ok, since we're posting character ideas, here's my take on game protag that comes to life:

>Desmond Velvet gets back to action in the series' newest installment: "Velvet Memory III"! Sporting his iconic gigantic machete "Trejo" and a pair of sawed-off shotguns, slash and shoot your way through the crystalline constructs and save your sister from ethernal damnation in this high-energy adventure through the depths of Earth! To what lengths will a tainted soul go to safe something dear to it?
I've tried doing "gaming magazine article" thing, dunno if I've succeeded in emulating the feel.

Spooky. I love it. How do the shadow’s function? Are they sentient, self-aware beings, or are they just mindless agents of chaos?

Sounds cool, I’d play it

>as a being spends more time in the shadow dimension, they begin to more permanently take on the traits of said dimension
>although many do not survive this process, there are a select few who manage to make it out alive
>these beings come out from the shadowy world as altered beings free of sanity, with the ability to warp the space around them
>some call them gods, some call them tricksters, personally I call them jokers
>nobody has seen a joker in thousands of years, and I genuinely hope that we never see another

We have them as nonmalevolent for the most part, but confused with anything non-Shadow, only capable of connections and understandings with beings like them, who understand what it’s very like to be abstract.

It’s also why many who get pulled in and out of Shadow Zone quickly often become physically warped or deformed, their bodies partially became abstract and those parts were converted to concrete again, but never quite the same. A hand may return covered with with rotting flesh or fingers fused or even not as a hand at all but a new fusion of flesh, skin and bone all together

Sounds tight my dude, sounds like something out of Travis Strikes Again. I can imagine an episode or filler arc that is essentially TSA. Stella (in her infinite wisdom) uses a MM energy source to power her game console and accidentally gets sucked into the worlds of her favorite games and needs to defeat the protags of said games to get out. What’s worse is she now has to work together with Al Mine, who broke into the Metal Men homebase to steal shit but ended up got sucked in with her.

>The shadow zone also acts as a nexus for all alternate realities, and theoretically be traversed by those who wish to enter a parallel universe
>however, the only one to make such a trip, Absurdity, came out the other end as little more than a ghost with her mind consumed by madness

>Stella also has to team up with the final boss to win the game
>meanwhile, on the outside, Chrome is using a level editor program to help Stella

>We must be grateful for this. We know that the stressor of Gold Leaf’s experiments already created a breach into his universe, were this dimensional travel become common in the Multiverse, it could drag every universe into the Shadow Zone, eliminating concrete things forever.

These games of her’s being Manic Marsupial (Crash Bandicoot), Hellscape (Doom), Eon Extinction (Chrono Trigger), Fists of Fury V (Street Fighter), President Evil (Resident Evil), Destroy The Shine (Attack/Save The Light) and Velvet Memory III (Final Fantasy I think?)

>TSA
That's actually my main inspiration for this one.
Desmond to Stella is basically what Electro Triple Star (and Garcia with Johnson, to some extent) was to Travis. She's built a great connection to him through his games, so she respects him immensely.
This is what, along with nostalgia and him being her first fiction crush, makes it so hard for her.
>Stella also has to team up with the final boss to win the game
I'm honestly not feeling this idea, sorry.
The least what Stella can do for her childhood hero is a fair duel.

>Final Fantasy I think?
That's actall supposed to be closer to DMC/Killer is Dead.
I don't like my spoofs being too on the nose, unless that's exactly what I'm going for.

>during the Shadow Arc Stella comes up with the plan to travel to another universe that has already defeated the shadows in order to learn how to stop them
>”Abby” finds out about Stella’s plan and begs her not to go, mentioning how she’ll be transformed into an insane spirit doomed to wander wherever she ends up with her memory so scrambled that she won’t even remember her own name
>Stella realizes this happened to Abby, and asks Absurdity who she used to be
>Absurdity says she doesn’t remember, but talks about some things she knows she used to do
>a horrified Stella remembers everything that Abby mentions, and finally pieces together the true identity of the annoying specter

>Stella also has to team up with the final boss to win the game

How about this?
>the final boss is the power source Gold Leaf invented that Stella used on her game console given form by game data, who becomes a guide to Stella and Al, telling them the only way to get out of the console is to defeat the protagonists of her games and collect their data
>It turns out the power source was lying the whole time and uses the source codes to become a powerful data God and now threatens to destroy Stella and Al and take over the digital world by connecting to Stella’s internet
>Stella and Al get their asses handed to them at first but then a Chrome uses a cheat code that gives them copies of the source codes of the protagonists Stella defeated, allowing them to use them as summons
>the Summons is what gives them the edge to defeat Killcode (that’s what I’m calling it) and return to the real world
>Al gets promptly thrown out and Stella is grounded for using one of her father’s experiments to upgrade her console

Ah, I was thinking of Devil May Cry at first but then I thought the machete was an allusion to Cloud’s sword and Desmond’s sister was supposed to represent Aerith. DMC makes more sense and it adds more variety to the game genres since Eon Extinction is the JRPG of Stella’s catalogue.

Yeah, I figured that making him save his wife/gf is a bit to tired, so the sister thing kind of happened because of it.
Also, I've already referenced Shadows of the Damned in this thread earlier.

>Discovers that universe is so well guarded, her attempts to enter are always blocked
>Every time she tries only weakens the walls of the main universe a bit more

Will there be a scene where Al wants to go back to a previous level because that didn’t find all the hidden treasures?
Or a scene where Stella spends five minutes trying to unlock a cool outfit that she remembered from the game

There's a scene where Stella performs a German Suplex on Desmond as a sign of admiration.

Since I love this Travis Strikes Again but Stella concept let me expand on the game protags Stella has to fight and her interactions with them.
>Manic Marsupial - An opossum with a biker aesthetic and armed with a crash bandicoot-styled spinning attack, bombs, boomerangs and a sassy voodoo death mask named Uma that gives Manic voodoo magic attacks when he wears her. Stella tells Manic that his game and the vehicular combat spinoff “Roadkillers” were her favorite games as a kid. Manic however is resentful towards Stella because she stopped playing his game after she got older and overheard her saying that he was a “game for babies”. Upon his defeat Stella apologizes for abandoning him and tells him that she’s excited for the upcoming trilogy remake and that she always wanted to play the second and third games. Manic says he believes her and tearfully tells her that he can’t wait to see her again in the trilogy remake before dissipating into code.

How did that Universe do it?

>Travis Strikes Again but Stella
Imagine if some way though the episode ACTUAL Travis made a cameo.
Talk about going a full circle.

>Hell Lady - The enigmatic protagonist from the overly gory and violent FPS game Hellscape where she indiscriminately slaughters demonic hordes and lords with her exo-skeleton powered by the souls of the damned and an arsenal of demon killing weaponry, her lust for blood doesn’t end with demons though; in Hellscape 3: Heavenscape she fought against the forces of Heaven to prevent the Rapture and in Hellscape 5: Hell in Space she fought against grey aliens and alien-demon hybrids. Stella idolizes Hell Lady and tells her that she’s a feminist icon, Hell Lady is flattered but admits to Stella that she’s tired of fighting demons and she wants to die, she just wants rest and asks Stella to do her in, Stella refuses but Al reminds her that they need Hell Lady’s code to progress. Stella agrees to put Hell Lady out of her misery but only if Hell Lady fights back and swears to not hold back, Hell Lady agrees to unleash Hell onto Stella for that is the least she can do for her biggest fan.

299
He seethes that no matter how many times he tries he can never get a perfect 300

They got the shadows to go home by through psychic negotiations, but in the process, Stella fully unlocked the power of her golden heart and became immortal
Stella then survived until right before the heat death of the universe, where she then jumped into the shadow portal in hopes of finding a dimension where her friends and family where still alive
But she ended up getting warped by the shadow physics, so now she’s Batmite-esque being, who’s clothes are based on concepts related to people she knew, ie: wearing a golden Alice in Wonderland style dress with a heart in the center because she knows that she knew someone named Alice and a golden heart is important to her somehow

Oh yeah she’s Absurdity. How do Plutonium, Titanium White and Red react to the Shadows?

>his brother is a Doctor Light (Mega Man) expy with an IQ of 301

They reacted in the same way as in the main dimension, except in that universe, Plutonium Green built the device that amplified Stella’s heart as a last effort to stop the shadows

How did the regular ones react? Don’t really remember much of Metal/Shadow interactions, it’s been a while

I don’t remember fully, but I think that we’re trying numerous experimental methods to combat them, as well as hunting the larger ones in massive warships
I’m pretty sure they also used decoy ships to lure them away from stars

>Eon - The main protagonist of Eon Extinction which is stated to be the greatest JRPG and one of the greatest games period. Eon is a time traveling warrior who teams up with other warriors and historical figures from across time and space to defeat Time Eater. When Stella encounters Eon she questions where his party members are and laments that she really wanted to meet Cleopatra, Zatoichi and the others, Eon says he was expecting Stella and Al, hearing word of what they did to Manic and Hell Lady and told his party members that this was his fight, Stella says that’s really out of character of him since he always he believed in the power of friendship, a theme that the series held as well. Upon his defeat Eon laments that he shouldn’t have taken his friends for granted and wished he could’ve confessed his love to Joan of Arc (confirming Stella’s ship in the progress). Before dying, Eon tells Stella to never take her friends and family for granted as they make her stronger, Stella promises and Eon evaporates and Stella fights back some tears.

I imagine White Diamond would be fucking terrified as she and the other Diamonds were basically a gourmet meal to Shadows

>Dragon Chan - The “shoto” character of the hit fighting game series Fists of Fury. A martial artist trained from birth by the dying Dragon King and then infused with his draconic spirit. Armed with iconic techniques such as the Dragon Bomb, Wyvern Uppercut and Cockatrice Kick Flurry, he’s more of a match for the massive roster of fighters seen throughout the series’ history, most of them appearing in Fists of Fury V, including DLC. Stella and Dragon Chan have a discussion about their similar histories, both being humans raised by non-human entities and given their powers and fighting skills, they decide to see how has been trained better. Upon his defeat, Dragon Chan questions if he was raised to be a child soldier, trained to fight in a war from birth and never given a chance at a normal life, Stella tells him that she too has the same thoughts sometimes and wonders what it would be like to be “normal” but she digresses and says she loves her life and her surrogate fathers and would never trade it for a normal life. Dragon Chan jokingly says he envies her and evaporates.

>Hoss Delgado - The protagonist of the first entry of the hit survival horror game President Evil, where exterminator of the dead must destroy the zombified versions of America’s greatest presidents and their endless undead hordes armed with nothing but his wits and built-in Swiss army knife arsenal for a hand. Before Stella can even say how awesome and “badass” Hoss and the President Evil games are, Hoss proclaims that he will destroy Stella and spouts one-liners. Upon defeat Hoss goes into a fit of how he’s the greatest hunter in the world and questions how he could’ve been defeated by a girl. It was then that Stella realized how one-dimensional Hoss really was and even go as far as to say the film version portrayed by Sergeant Slaughter had more depth then him.

>his method for fighting Stella is so predictable that neither Stella or Al take any damage

And that’s it for now, my idea for the protag of Destroy The Shine was a parody of Steven as the game is a reference to the Attack The Light and Save The Light games, my creative juices are a little low now though. And Desmond Velvet is not my creation.

I think all of your ideas are really cool! I like them

Yeah, they’re pretty cool. I’m guessing the Gameworld is a whole arc thing?

>I’m guessing the Gameworld is a whole arc thing?

Yeah, a filler arc if anything.

It’s not filler if there’s character development

That’s true. I wanted to give Stella some meaningful interactions with the game characters that can contribute to her character development, Eon and Dragon Chan especially.

I would've made Hoss be more like a parody of Solid Snake

>He goes on and on about stuff and pseudophilosophy involving genes and clones and the government
>Stella sleeps halfway through his dialogue
>She defeats Hoss by changing her controller port
>Hoss misteriously changes voice actors halfway through the fight

Some ideas I had for the Game World arc

>Manic Marsupial has a bit of Sonic going on in the way that he uses 90s nature
>Stella does mention she was kinda bothered when they made his arms "human colored"

>Hell Lady has a bit of Samus going on as well
>Her armor is pretty much the Zero Armour from Apocalypse Zero

>Similarly to how Chrono Trigger has art from Toriyama, Eon has some famous mangaka doing with obvious references to it because of it

>Dragon Chan has an "evil Dragon Chan" form
>Stella has to wear "appropriate fight clothes" (she just cosplays as Chun-Li)

>It’s a Stella trains Steven Episode

>it's Steven lays on the ground crying after 10 minutes of cardio episode

>She keeps finding candy bars on him whenever she’s not looking

I just wanted Hoss to be like he was personality wise in Billy and Mandy. But I can see some references to Metal Gear Solid in his dialogue at least.

>To his supporters they see him as a messiah who will revive all the fallen metals, to his enemies they see him as a dark knight slaughtering all that oppose him

Yellow Steven is such a Chad
Reminder of what his deal was?

He started off as being thought of as a generic Darkseid-esque threat who was the first of the metals like White Diamond, but later threads like this one gave him the deal of wanting to basically revive all of the metals who fell in the metal/gem war.

>occasionally, some unlucky metal will catch a glimpse of what lies under the armor that makes up the body of Adamantine
>and they see nothing but pure molten metal, occasionally flashing with burning sigils

All right, guy who wants to fix things, fun villain

>Unlike other metals, the danger coming from Adamantine, besides his sigils, is the fact that he is a master of almost every weapon known to exist
>For most battles he only wields a gigantic sword named the Tyrfing, but he's just as capable and skilled with any other weapon

Attached: thordan.png (360x450, 261K)

Think I had a fun idea. What if Adamantine visited the Shadow Zone at some point and came back, enlightened? Not enough to change his body or grant him power but for him to understand that something abstract in the Shadow Zone becomes concrete here. A way to make his abstract wish of reviving the metals a reality?

>sigils create tiny temporary rifts into the shadow zone, allowing the user to make an idea into reality depending on which symbols are being used

>The art of sigils had been lost during the early days of the Multiverse, due to some of the first beings in existence taking advantage of the power to destroy ideas in the Multiverse, turning what was once possible into the impossible

>during the first age of the multiverse, there was no shadow zone, instead there was simply a realm of dreams that could be safely traversed
>but then beings started using the dream realm for their own benefit, ascending to spirit status, and conquering worlds
>in response, an eldritch being named Leviathan created a dangerous dimension of nightmares and concepts on top of the dream zone, and filled this new realm with its spawn to prevent it from being used for selfish reasons
>now the universes lie separated, and what was once a place of wonder and whimsy, is now a shadow of its former self

>It’s a Amethyst temporarily moves in with Chrome after an argument with the Gems episode

Ooh German

Come to think of it... have we discussed where Stella and EMs live? I know their current domicile is supposed to be in Empire City, but the actual place didn't get fleshed out if I'm not mistaken. Does Stella live in an apartment like Hey Arnold? Does she live in a suburb townhouse? Does the metals have their own separate lodgings? I bet Chrome owns a winnebago or similar camper van he parks outside. Or a muscle car. That he lives in.

>Later he gains a mechanical arm and HUD glasses, making him slightly resemble Pilot Dib
So what, are we thinking about making him a Dib reference kinda like how Peridot is a Zim reference

How about a silver arm gifted to him by the MM equivalent to the Diamonds

I think they meant Cassie was wondering why all the artwork Chrome was commissioning where of Amethyst in tastefully suggestive poses and Chrome just bs'ed that it was therapeutic.

Seeing how we're on a subject of MM/Gem relationships right now:
Just how palpable would hatefuck energy be between Iron and Pearl?
Would there even be any emphasis on the "fuck" part?

No fucking. Iron would be insulted. Also Pearl is for Greg and being a nuclear family.

I mean, it's unclear if Iron would even have anything to fuck her with, but I get what you mean.
I guess them being perpetually tsun for one another would be an absolute height of their relationship's evolution.

Yeah that’s what I meant
That sounds rad!

I like this, I missed you guys. The autism was great but I honestly believe that we should have a specific topic for next thread.

We had alternate universes last thread and this thread is just so comfy, but personally believe we gotta focus more on Metals for future threads. Like the Shadow thread we had a few months ago that was nothing but Shadow lore was fucking AMAZING, we gotta focus on other things that haven't been touched on or even need to revisit.

Remember Sneople? Or have we ever had anything on Gem/Metal interactions? Some great wars and battles would be a great thread, but that's just me nitpicking.

All in all, I love you guys. Stay autistic.

How about next time we focus on the relationship between characters

I’d like that. We can focus on Stella and her relationship with the Metals, Alice, and her friends. And we could focus on the authority and how they interact and how Gold Leaf interacted with them
She is a child

Sounds like a plan

>Stella, Carol, Iron, and Cassie try out an escape room
How badly does it go?

>Iron
Thousands in collateral.

>Stella and Carol trying to actually solve the puzzle
>Iron breaking everything while trying to beat the record
>Cassie doing nothing useful at all but thinking she’s being helpful

>trying to beat the record
Nah, he was just acting super-defensive.
Turns out it was warranted when alien of the week showed up.

>alien tries to attack them
>they trap alien in the escape room
>post credits scene of the alien sheepishly asking the people running the room for a hint

>Iron breaking everything while trying to beat the record
Doesn't seem like Iron, more like Chrome to me. If Iron is to break things it's because Stella is in danger (perceived or otherwise).
But it would be funny if Iron 'broke' the escape room in another way, though.
>"You don't need to solve that puzzle, the latch's already broken from rust! Let's go to the next room"
>"What do you mean I can't escape through the window? I swear, the rules of this game is utterly labyrinthine!"

>Stella: well, to be fair, this room is called the labyrinth

>Iron finds out about Pearl's secret rap career

>Pearl finds out about Iron's secret ska career

Why ska?

>an episode where young Stella sees the Iron Giant, starts to cry and then refuses to let go of Iron's leg for 4 hours straight

Well, name another music genre that only has three letters in it that isn't rap or ska. nor pop, but because the merest idea of Iron or Pearl being in a pop band is just so anticlimactic

I'm honestly surprised that we've managed to have 2 threads back to back and the second one ended up being way more constantly active.

I like this. He looks like a scary delinquent.

I was there when we were talking about Shadow Lore. It is a shame that I was never able to screencap it though.

Cute

You misunderstood, he's not apart of any of this, i just used his hair as an example of what Conrad's hair is supposed to look like

>Inconel, Carbon Black's most successful experiment at creating a super-soldier, oftentimes makes attempts at escaping his captivity in Forge's underground labs
>they are oftenly followed by massive amounts of destruction for who or whatever tries to stop him
>Carbon Black, upon receiving the reports of chaos he's caused in his another attempt at escape, feels something that can only be described as bastardized version of parental pride, completely disregarding the casualties

Alright then. Also, is Conrad the son of the mafia boss?

No, that guy makes plans that always fail, this guy has robot arms

That’s a good looking group

Welp, it was a good thread.
Hope well get more young Stella stuff going in the next one, it was adorable.

Shadows Theme

Dub, a form of reggae

Probably couldn’t handle it

No but i'm thinking of giving his family a military background

Maybe his dad used to work on the base Stella lived?

Perhaps that’s where the rivalry started

That's the idea, i also had the idea of his grandfather fighting in WWII but i don't know if that would work

Disabled in a way? Never be able to be like his dad could lead to bitterness and resentment at Stella, especially if he sees his dad is impressed by her

>this whole time his grandfather was a Wolfenstein reference
>thus, Conrad’s ultimate destiny is to charge into the shadows realm with a shotgun in his hands

>slowly his anger grows
>his anger drives him crazier and crazier until he eventually stops talking
>he gets a mechanical arm and metal armor
>the suit has a glitch, and starts playing nonstop metal music
>as his rage grows he gets better at fighting
>his image of his grandfather drives him to be better
>eventually he gains a hatred of the shadows and jumps through the portal with a shotgun in hand
>everyone thinks he’s dead until one day, several shadows flee from a portal radiating fear
>the metals get closer to the portal, and listen closely
>in the distance that can hear metal music playing and an unknown voice shouting a war cry
rip and tear until it’s done!

>Finds he effectively can’t hurt anything in the Shadow Zone, is stuck realizing he’s ashamed his family name and won’t even be a person anymore as his body is slowly becoming more abstract

>turns into an embodiment of rage that rips apart other abstracts once he realizes this

>Gets bodied by the abstract of forgiveness

>Absurdity recorded the whole thing
>she posts it on Youtube
>everyone who watches it becomes slightly eccentric due to the eldritch visions
>the video already has over four million views

>Ends up taken down due to eventual seizures
>No one could warn others because of COPPA

No, he's doesn't care about what his parents think, after basically being shunned by seemingly everyone due to his lack of arm he sort of just gave up on humanity and started looking up to the MM, the strange creatures his parents have been studying, and he sees Stella as someone who's living the life he's wanted for years

>once he gets his silver arm and power armor we finally get to see Stella take on a human with almost the exact same powers as her

Kino

Kek

>He ends up becoming Adamantine's pawn and being turned into a half metal makes him an easy subject to get sigiled

>Ends up finding a hidden underground storage full of previous experimental hybrids, screaming and shrieking but unable to move their bodies

>Due to him only mostly having a metal arm and possibly a core, the old Silver that bursts from him mostly just forms from of his arm, think something like Tetsuo mutating in Akira
>This however leaves him dying without a core that basically replaced his heart
>He spends his last moments realizing that Stella was completely in the right

Better yet
>Stella saves him
>Despite still giving up on humanity Stella's kindness restores his faith in humanity but only a little

>Adamantine shows up to Titanium White before he leaves to find himself in a smaller form just to hammer home how everything he's done to try and stay away from what Adamantine did in the past only benefits him even more than anything else

>using Stella’s refinement, and a few spare parts from the dead experimental hybrids, they are able to save his life
>he later becomes a sort of anti-hero who occasionally helps Stella
>he also has his arm covered in a black material to hide the golden parts since they only remind him of the debt he owes Stella

>he also eventually gains an anal probe after he pissed off the crew of a ship piloted by members of a species of amphibious cephalopods
the cephalopods are one of the metals enemies, but only because they’re obsessed with sex

I fucking hate coomers, why must you faggots ruin wholesome threads

Just for that.
>Stella using her powers to form a vibrator to use on Steven’s asshole while he eats her out

That’s why the metals hate the cephalopods
The squid aliens are intergalactic coomers, and the metals want them to be extinct. But just like coomers, they somehow keep coming back

Honestly i'm more pissed off that Stella's powers seem unlimited
Gave me a chuckle

Personally I would have gone the T-1000 route in that she can only form solid metal shapes rather than something more complex like jet packs or saws

>From now on when coomers invade our thread we can just say “execute that filthy squid” while pretending to be s metal commander

I think Stella's arm shapeshifting should be more Edward Elric limited and less plastic man. Can't augment mass, has to actually possess the knowledge of an object to imitate it. Swords are easy, sex toys are easy-ish, guns are easy but remember you'd have to retrieve the bullets, etc.
ICBMs are not easy, jetpacks aren't easy.

Unless you meant her gilding, which is more hard light than physical gold.

I imagine it's sorta simple shit like blades and blunt weapons, until she gets her gold form and they become much more complex.

What do you imagine the voices for the various metals sound like? Any examples would work.

Well now that we've reached over 500 it seems this thread is gonna go soon so i just wanna thank most of you guys for the good time

Sane here! I always love sharing my ideas in these threads. Also let’s vote on what the next thread’s image should be.
I vote the “I envy the dead” image of Stella reacting to Carol giving her cheer uniform, because the next thread will focus on relationships, and also that image is hilarious

Chrome, I get a Homer Simpson voice desu
Been fun here, can’t wait until next one.

>Chrome

>Bronze: Legate Lanius with an echo filter
>Chrome: Walter from SMT IV
>Iron: Probably something like a slightly deeper version of C3-PO's voice that can show a bit more emotion
>Titanium White: Perfect Cell from the Funimation DBZ dub
>Carbon Black: Armstrong's voice is perfect for him
>Gold: Seto Kaiba's dub voice works fine for him
>Red: Dagoth Ur
>Adamantine: YHVH from SMT IV Apocalypse or Orson Welles' Unicron

Who would you imagine voicing Stella, Alice, Carol, Conrad, Piper, Sean, Cassie, Al Mine, and the other human characters?

>Iron can keep up and maintain thousands of years worth of various lies and half-truths
>Bronze can recall battles that took place when his very race was considered young
>Chrome's memory is so fucking shit that he oftenly buys a replacement for something after not finding said thing in it's usual place once
