History WMG / FlawedCrystals

Unlike Flawed Crystals which focuses on the Crystal Gems and their personal issues, we get to see how Homeworld's rule had affected the day-to-day life of the average Gem and things have changed now that the Diamonds have all been shattered. In addition, after beating the game once, [[BonusDungeon Pink Diamond's Garden]] becomes available and you can fight [[{{Superboss}} Spinel}}]] there. Also, if you defeated the [[{{Superboss}} Perfect Crystal]] in Flawed Crystals, you could get an OldSaveBonus where you can fight all 4 Diamonds at once or their fusion form, Paragon.

If Steven had succeeded in capturing the gems or they were shattered, he simply creates an entirely new fantasy that is layered on top of the previous. Steven and the Gems live in The Room for 2 years while the second fantasy plays out; Steven dismantles Homeworld's empire and decides to live happily ever. His subconscious has other plans, sending Spinel as it's agent to make Steven realize he's got more work to do and that he doesn't actually like the Diamonds (sending to Spinel to them because he doesn't have the inner strength to deal with his own guilt over their shattering).

This causes the fantasy to gradually break down and eventually Steven and the Crystal Gems leave the room, setting the scene for Steven Universe Future's final episode. Steven gets a therapist and leaves Beach City with Connie as in canon.

Unlike the scenario in VideoGame/FlawedCrystal where Steven's corruption causes him to accept his new corrupted form and then goes into angry denial when the gems confront him; Steven tries to pretend that everything is fine only to break down and become exactly what he believes himself to be: a monster.

When Steven shatters Jasper and resurrects her, it's a manifestation of his guilt and fear that he's no better than the Diamonds. He then tries to get their help, which his subconcious manifests as metaphors for drug addiction/apathy (Blue), plastic surgery/insecurity (Yellow) and self harm/trauma (White) with Spinel being a metaphor for unwanted, unhelpful advice. When he returns home, Steven finally begins to break down due to his corruption.

[[WMG: In this universe, WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture is actually a deeper layer in Steven's room fantasy.]]
If Steven had succeeded in capturing the gems or they were shattered, he simply creates an entirely new fantasy that is layered on top of the previous. In this fantasy, Steven gets to live a peaceful albeit busy life. However, his problems start to catch up to him which manifests as his new "pink powers" and his training encounters with Jasper cause the fantasy to unravel and eventually he goes into denial before corrupting. Unlike the scenario in the game where Steven accepts his new corrupted state, Steven's issues cause him to have another meltdown, this time turning him into Monster Steven who is defeated through calming him down enough so that Steven can get the help he needs. This causes the fantasy to gradually break down. Or it continues, with Steven convincing himself that he's getting the help he needs.
