I had this mental image while watching episode 94 of Rainbow Quest, where Rainbow and Sabre interrogate Reverse in the prison.
The episode has a see-through glass prison and Reverse keeps talking about how good will never win and that Darkness will prevail.
I had this mental image of the glass prison being reflective, where we can see Rainbow’s reflection on top of Reverse, and Reverse’s reflection on top of Rainbow, depending on the camera angle.
I think that would be a cool way to visualize Reverse and Rainbow’s character arcs.
Reverse so badly wanted to be Rainbow, but now he’s in a prison, lost in the pessimism that Darkness brings.
Rainbow right now thinks Reverse is full of shit by rambling about how Darkness will win. But it’s only a matter of time until Rainbow cracks, loses his Rainbow form, and becomes a servant of Void because he’s convinced Darkness will win. Rainbow will eventually become like Reverse.
And all of that can be symbolized by a prison made out of reflective glass walls.

Reverse Steve, looking at the destruction he’s caused: Is there a hall of fame for this kind of stuff?
Sabre: Yes, it's called prison.

Au idea: an au where sabre makes soul and corruption for the steve saga instead of rainbow quest, when would they show up, what would their stories be, would this lead to new characters from neither rq or tss
Maybe Soul and Corruption could be inhabitants of the Nightmare Dimension. They already have designs that matches the Dimension's aesthetic. It will also give the Nightmare King people to actually rule.
Hopefully Sabre, Lucas, and Rainbow can save them and transform them back to Blue Steve and Indigo (or I guess Purple) Steve, and they can be residents of the Rainbow Town, along with the components who made up Reverse Steve!
I know my suggestion isn't that creative. I just went with what sounded alright and would give the Rainbow Town a few more characters to live in it.
Thank you for the ask!

Reaction to Rainbow Void’s debut and Rainbow Steve’s Funeral - Rainbow Quest Eps. 132 and 133
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1f8KedPXMU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThTFzEPfBU4
Rainbow Void’s debut
Sabre’s acting is really good in this episode. He’s really going through the stages of grief. I can feel him digging his hands into his scalp/hair if the webcam was on.
Also, the restored time dimension is BEAUTIFUL
And now we know what purpose the time dimension has. In the Steve Saga, the time dimension was just there to imprison Elemental Steve. I love the office/security vibes of the RQ version of this setting
Elemental Steve: I think I’m gonna hurl Let this be a lesson on why you shouldn’t binge eat pumpkin pies
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot from Rainbow Quest. Time Steve is standing at a workstation in the Time Dimension, with Elemental Steve crouched at the corner. End ID.]
Is the kitchen-like build the reason why the Cooking with Time Steve joke exists?!
Rainbow Steve’s funeral
Me: *watches the funeral episode* Me: *realizes that Orange Leader isn’t here* Me: *realizes that Orange Leader is going to hear some heartbreaking news once he’s freed from the Darkness* Me: Oh no.
Not to ruin the mood, but can you imagine what would happen to RQ’s pacing if the characters stopped to hold a funeral for every good Steve that got destroyed?
Violet Steve Leader talking about Rainbow Steve: You’ve helped spread some kindness to all the other Steves. Me, who only remembers the Reverse arc for how reactive the heroes were: Did he really though?
Sabre: I’m glad that Rainbow Steve created a community for all of us to come together. Me: That was Elemental Steve and the refugees who did that, not Rainbow Steve. Did you see the town next to the Rainbow Bunker? Ok, to be fair, Rainbow did create the new and improved Rainbow Hub, so I’ll give him credit for that. I still wish Rainbow Steve did more though.
Funny and Sabre: *break into an argument* Me:
Tumblr media
[ID: a gif of Jason Momoa swiftly pulling out a folding chair and getting ready to sit in an audience of people with tense expressions. End ID.] 
Sabre: *breaking down as lightning strikes near* Me:
Tumblr media
[ID: a gif of Jennifer Morrison sitting on a couch and eating a bowl of popcorn. She is focusing on what she is watching. Then she gasps and widens her eyes as she reaches for more popcorn. End ID.]
Wow, that was a cliffhanger! I expected Sabre to go corrupt in the next episode, but based on the preview, that doesn’t happen yet.
So let’s end the reaction post here. I’ll react to the next episodes in another post!

Rewatching "My secret meeting with DARK STEVE” (RQ episode 75)
So, behind the scenes I’ve been planning a rewrite AU of the Reverse Steve episodes in Rainbow Quest. I got most of the planning done, but I’ve been struggling to come up with new ideas. So I decided the best thing to do is rewatch some episodes of the Reverse Steve arc and see if they help, and I’m taking you guys along with me.
For this post, I’m reacting to episode 75: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii-0HvW0kgU
Alright, to recap, these are the events that happened before this episode: Reverse kidnapped Rainbow, and Sabre, having no teleportation powers, teamed up with Dark Steve to find where Reverse is holding Rainbow: the catacombs. Reverse’s lab in the catacombs has disrupted the peace of Ghost Steve, who leads Sabre and Dark to Reverse and Rainbow. However, Dark last minute decides to team up with Reverse, and Reverse depowers Rainbow. Sabre has to bring Rainbow to the Orange Village and out him as Main Orange, so that the Orange Village would support and restore Rainbow’s strength. Wanting to express gratitude for Ghost Steve’s help, Sabre and Rainbow return to the catacombs to help Ghost Steve get rid of Reverse’s lab. Rainbow and Sabre teleport back to Rainbow Hub, but somehow, Sabre takes a quick detour to meet with Dark Steve, and that brings us to this episode!
Now, onto the reactions:
In hindsight, it is freaking hilarious and amazing that Sabre’s going like, “I know you’re here to talk instead of fight, but I am going to refuse to listen because you sided with the enemy and hurt my friend.” Because Sabre is going to experience Steves saying the exact same thing to him after he gets infected with Darkness. Like holy cow, this episode might had been foreshadowing all along!
Anyways, the reason why Dark Steve brought Sabre here is because he’s “learned something no person should learn,” which is the fact that Nightmare Steve is alive. I’m struggling to remember why this reveal is so important.
I have gripes about Reverse arc losing focus, but this episode did add to the “hiding the truth so that morale doesn’t stop” idea that this arc and RQ in general had going on.
Sabre had struggled and failed to keep the secret that Rainbow Steve is Main Orange to prevent Steves from doubting them. Now, he knows that Nightmare is alive and refuses to tell Rainbow because he knows Rainbow’s unprepared to fight Nightmare. And secrets that create fear and urgency are more powerful than secrets that create doubt and hesitance.
I don’t remember if RQ followed up with Sabre keeping Nightmare a secret, but I still remember how disappointed I felt about how RQ handled Sabre keeping Rainbow’s identity a secret. I just hope that the Demon Steve arc brings this “hide the truth or reveal the truth to affect moral” idea to the next level, once I get to that part.
Also, with Darkness being a hivemind, I’m really curious on why Dark Steve doesn’t seem to be in the “know.” Dark Steve had to take time to learn that Nightmare is still alive, even though the Darkness in the Void knew that fact.
Also in hindsight, it’s amusing that Nightmare is depicted as the scariest guy in the universe, lol. Is there a reason why Dark doesn’t seem to know about Void? The joys of being an out-of-touch viewer.

I'm certain that with you watching rq again it will benefit your reverse rewrite au
Yes it has!
I should probably clarify that the Reverse Rewrite AU is not going to rewrite the entire season or show. I only want to do an AU of the Reverse Steve arc, which will last from the start of season 2 and end at either Rainbow Steve's demise or Darkness' takeover of Sabre
Which means I hopefully now know everything I need from canon to build this AU. I just gotta actually write out the final pieces and polish it all.

Faceless: *transforms to look like Reverse Steve*
Reverse Steve: Okay, are you like BLIND? You look nothing like me. First off, I'm way taller. Secondly, I DO NOT look so sleep deprived and lastly, if you could drag comb through that hair you're like a 7 on a good day and I've been told I'm a constant 10.

Rainbow Steve: [sipping a mug with a neutral, straight-face expression]
Orange Leader, approaching him: Rainbow Steve, have you seen my copy of my favorite movie?
Rainbow Steve: Pretty sure it fell in the hole.
Orange Leader: What hole? [looks down and freezes dead in his tracks] OH MY GOD?!
[dramatic camera pan of the hole between Rainbow Steve and Orange Leader, which is actually a portal to the Void dimension]
Orange Leader: What is that?!
Rainbow Steve: It’s a hole.
Orange Leader: Yeah, I can see that. What’s it doing there?
Rainbow Steve: Well, I woke up this morning... [continues sipping his mug with a neutral expression] ...then there was a hole
Orange Leader: What are you gonna do about it?
Rainbow Steve: Well, I put a rug over it.
[dramatic camera pan of the portal to the Void dimension]
Rainbow Steve: Yeah, it fell in the hole.
Orange Leader: Shall we call the Yellow Steves or something?
Rainbow Steve: Oh yeah, I called the Yellow Steves.
Orange Leader: Well, where are they?
Rainbow Steve: They’re in the hole.
[dramatic camera pan of the portal to the Void dimension]
Orange Leader: Where is Light Steve?
Rainbow Steve:
Orange Leader, worried: Rainbow Steve, where is Light Steve?!
Rainbow Steve: Oh, he’s at work.
Orange Leader, calm: Oh, where does he work.
Rainbow Steve:
Rainbow Steve: In the hole.
[dramatic camera pan of the portal to the Void dimension]
Orange Leader: How deep even is this thing?!
Orange Leader: [snatches Rainbow Steve’s mug and drops it into the hole. There is no sound of the mug hitting the floor]
Rainbow Steve, face still neutral: That was my favorite mug...now it’s in the hole.
[dramatic camera pan of the portal to the Void dimension]
Orange Leader: Do you even know what this is? Like for all we know, it could be an interdimensional wormhole, or a gateway to hell, or...
Orange Leader: [looks up and realizes that Rainbow Steve has disappeared]
Orange Leader, scared: Rainbow Steve? Rainbow Steve?! [looks down at the hole] Rainbow Steve?!
Rainbow Steve: [returns from a nearby kitchen, face still neutral] Hey, what’s up? I got a snack. [eats the snack with a neutral expression]
Orange Leader, irritated: Rainbow Steve, will you please take this seriously?!
A Darkness: [jumps out of the portal and jumpscares Orange Leader]
Orange Leader, screaming: AAAAAHHH. WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT IS THAT?!
Rainbow Steve: [still with neutral face, summons lightning to destroy the darkness and save Orange Leader]
Orange Leader: What was that?!
Rainbow Steve, still neutral: Hole person.
Orange Leader: Where did it come from?!
Rainbow Steve: [gives a “really?” look]
Orange Leader: ...Right...the hole...Dude, why are you being so calm about this?!
Rainbow Steve, still neutral: I’m more worried about Reverse Steve going crazy over there.
Orange Leader: Who’s Reverse Steve?
[Sounds of destruction. Orange Leader slowly turns to the sounds and realizes that Reverse Steve is nearby, shooting fireballs everywhere and eventually hits Orange Leader, injuring him]
Rainbow Steve, still neutral: ...That guy...

Reverse Steve: Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Ghost Steve: Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
The Great Librarian : That was deep.
Faceless: Philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie.
The Great Librarian: That was deeper
Red Steve: Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn’t a smoothie you nasties.
