Steven's Weapon
Added 2018-12-01 01:21:06 +0000 UTCI've been thinking a lot about Steven's weapon as we get further into him becoming an actual Crystal Gem.
It's still very much on the fence, but here's what I was thinking.... 
How about a staff?
To be honest, I can't imagine WD having a sword - that's too hands on, and it seems like more of a Yellow Diamond thing.
Also, I don't want it to be OP. Steven isn't exactly rushing to go into battle. I want his weapon to be somewhat... Useless.
Though obviously it can still be useful
It might be cool to have it be several sizes
What do you guys think?

2018-12-04 06:05:44 +0000 UTCI think it's a neat concept. I could see it as seemingly useless....at first. But as the series continues and Steven learns more about his heritage/powers, his staff becomes more powerful. I mean this is White Diamond we're talking about and since she's already shown in canon to be a very powerful gem, it would make sense that her weapon (if she has one in canon) would have the potential to be very powerful as well.

Say he gets attacked by a corrupted gem and immediately summons the first Gem weapon he sees to defend himself. He sees Garnet’s gauntlets and instantly summons his own and delivers a devastating punch, but he learns that through their use that they are heavy and he has to be balanced with his punches or he’ll mess up his attack, leaving himself open to counter attacks.

2018-12-01 03:01:22 +0000 UTCI think it’d be an interesting idea. I definitely like the design, but I always imagined that as the supposed “progenitor” of the Gem species that White would have less of an actual physical weapon and more like a general control over light particles, sort of like Yellow and Blue’s ability to project light in the form of beam attacks. I’d say thematically it’d make sense if White had the ability to make any weapon. Or in a more simplified way, be able to copy and replicate other Gem weapons.

2018-12-01 02:52:50 +0000 UTCYou know, I haven't decided yet! What do you think? Is that too similar to Pearl's weapon, then?

2018-12-01 01:30:04 +0000 UTCI was kinda on the fence until you said it can change sizes. Would he be able to shoot light out of it, similar to how Pearl can shoot light from her spear?
