fuck it. 2 am pronoun update;
Thought it'd be fun to log what the weapons of each of my oc au gems (so far) are. I don't feel like drawing all of em and am only gonna draw one cause I think it's funny. I might update this as I add more gems to the au:
Ametrine: Ribbon
Angelite: Man Catcher
Antimony: Electric Whip
Asterism: Energy bow and arrow; however she usually uses the blaster she can make with her floating fingers like peridot could with her limb enhancers
B*tch Crystal: Spear - he does also have an unsummoned, physical dagger on a garter holster under his dress
Brimstone: UNABLE TO SUMMON WEAPON AND HAS NO PHYSICAL WEAPON
Chatoyancy: Cherry Bombs/Caltrops (interchangeable)
Copper: Chain-whip Sword
Coral: Ray Gun
Dolomite: Cane; this is able to shift into a lighting shooting destablizer at will. No one is sure if this is her summoned weapon or a nonsummoned, physical weapon.
Fairy Quartz: UNABLE TO SUMMON WEAPON AND HAS NO PHYSICAL WEAPON
Kunzite: Spiked Knuckles
Liddicoatite: Electric Guitar
Orphiment: Syringe
Petalite: Khopesh
Romanechite: Scythe
Sonora Sunrise: Chakram
Stabbingtonite: Broad Sword
Watermelon Tourmaline: Lance
Any fun facts about Corundum?
A few!
Corundum, before he was a crystal gem, was stationed at the lunar sea spire
Corundum was under White Diamond's court before being transferred to Pink "temporarily".
Corundum and Rose had a garden where they tried to craft unique hybrid plants together.
And just cause some for Chatoyancy and Sonora Sunrise as well!
Chatoyancy, Greg, and Vidalia all play poker every Tuesday.
Yancy never fused with any of the crystal gems before Rose passed. She first fuses with Corundum to fight a tough corrupted gem.
Chatoyancy is the first to fuse with Steven.
Sonora Sunrise stopped fusing with the others when Rose passed on. At first, out of respect. Then, it was just... Hard. Until she almost accidentally fuses with Coral.
Her and Coral's fusion is named Rosarita
Sonora keeps a diary! What's in it is private. No peeking.
Re-design of Druzy Quartz, the fusion of Orphiment and Kunzite. I like this much better than the last design so this is the new canon design.
New racgwocs au gem - adopted from DarkLolipop88 on dA (with some edits haha) - Chatoyany! An about her under the cut:
One of four survivors of the war for Earth (along with Rose Quartz, Sonora Sunrise, and a yet undecided gem), Chatoyancy was originally crafted by Blue Diamond (with Yellow’s essence) to humor Pink Diamond’s cries for peace talks with the crystal gems. Her purpose was to go before the crystal gems, and discuss agreeable terms of surrender for the end of the war. Things Homeworld would want if they won. And things the crystal gems would want if, stars forbid, they won.
Chatoyancys are generally crafted for jobs that Homeworld does not want to waste an entire gem line for, and do odd jobs before being reassigned to other odd jobs. They’re seen as low class, no matter their task. Throw away gems no one really thinks of.
This Chatoyancy….. Didn’t want her life decided for herself. She didn’t want to go into a war field and be inevitably captured for just doing her job. But, the whispers of her expected convincing to join the other side while she was there…. It kept her away.
No, Chatoyancy did not fight for Earth, not for Homeworld, not for the crystal gems, not for Rose, not for the Diamonds.
Chatoyancy fled and looked out for herself. and the small gems the war forgot.
She became a nuisance to both sides. stopping things she saw as wrong or immoral with her smoke creating cherry bombs, tripping gems up with her caltrops, throwing sharpened playing cards, or crafting near perfect shadow clones to distract the enemy and quickly getting away with her shadowy form and lithe figure. She stopped Homeworld from shattering those fighting for their own freedom, and she stopped the crystal gems from kidnapping loyalists to try to sway them to their side. She couldn’t be everywhere of course, always feeling bad she couldn’t do anything for Pink. She always said she was against homeworld but…. Pink was her diamond. The very reason she was alive. Maybe if she had discussed terms of surrender first before fleeing…. Just maybe…
She was her own gem, until the corruption light hit.
Rose saved who she could in the moment, scooping the survivors close and bracing for impact. She thought she only saved two…. But Chatoyancy’s poofed stone was under her protective shield. Another was saved.
Chatoyancy wouldn’t listen to any of the survivors for hide nor hare. She was a rebel to the rebels. Refusing to truly join their side, for she hated that Rose had shattered someone. And, it would make all those whispering gems right all those years ago. However, she stayed with them. Her chance of survival with all these corrupted gems was better as a group. Plus, well….. it was company that wouldn’t inevitably rot.
Chatoyancy is head strong, won’t back down from anything, and challenges ideas Rose had more openly than the others. To Steven, she is the rebellion emo older sister who helps him get away with things the others would never let him do. She encourages him to think for himself, and secretly hopes he will be just as kind, loving, and wonderful as Rose was to her- despite her dissent.
Chatoyany’s gem is on her left palm.
Chatoyancy uses she/they pronouns.
I decided to do something that would make 13 year old me happy and draw a my little pony au I loved thinking about when I was younger.
This is a no rainboom/element swap au! This will be the first of a few posts cause I want all the main six separate to explain how their lives are different with their different destinies.
First up is the one that hasn’t changed a bit since I first developed the au when I was 13 is Pink “Pinkie” Quartz Pie, the element of Kindness, and her lovely diamond dog wife Roxie!
When Pinkie was a filly, a cave in caused her to be separated from her rock farming family. Trying to find another exit, she found a Diamond Dog pup about her age also separated from her group. Pinkie made great friends with this Diamond Dog, and the pup- named Roxie- helped her find an exit.
Her family was at first shocked and angry to see Pinkie associating with a dangerous Diamond Dog. However, Pinkie managed to explain that the pup and her family were of no danger to the ponies. In fact, they could even help them run the rock farm even better with their ability to sniff out gems. A peace accord between the Diamond Dogs of the mine and the Pie family was struck, and the Diamond Dogs became co-owners of the quarry the Pies owned.
This is how Pinkie earned her cutie mark. It represents her talent for diplomacy and helping/creating friendships with ponies and other species with an emblem from the first species she helped- Diamond Dogs.
She married the Diamond Dog who helped her that day later in life, and she moved to Ponyville to help Roxie try to achieve her dream of being a professional baker. Plus, Ponyville is in a great spot for her to try to craft some great friendships between ponies and not ponies!
Roxie is very stoic and quiet but loves her smol pink pony wife very much. She speaks great english unlike her show counter parts, but speaks with a thick accent that somewhere between russian and french.
New Future RACGWOCS au gems!
The Uncorrupted Ametrine (left) and the uncorrupted Watermelon Tourmaline (right) approached Steven and Sonora Sunrise after learning about weddings. THEY wanted to get married! Just like Sonora did to her love, Coral!
Sonora was so excited about this idea and rushed into it, happy to officiate a wedding for two gems, and started to help the duo plan their union. Two more gems, experiencing the matrimony of a wedding! Finally, someone to talk to who understood the idea!
However, Steven wasn't so sure about the union. Sure, at first, it was a great thing! But, as the planning moved on, he saw some stuff that concerned him about the engaged couple.
First, he found Ametrine and Watermelon Tourmaline had only met very recently after uncorrupting. And, they had fought on opposite sides of the war; Ametrine for Earth and Tourmaline for homeworld. Another fact was that Ametrine seemed a lot more excited about this union than Tourmaline, and their personalities seemed to clash. Ametrine was very excitable, punk, and happy-go-lucky. While Watermelon.... Was very melancholy. Eeyore like in seeing the world in a sad light.
Steven told all this to Sonora, but she ignored it. She pointed out she and Coral were not together long before marrying, and were very different as well. And yet, he didn't have a problem with them. Why was he so against this union? Steven couldn't find a reason, and relented to help the marriage go through.
Sonora did put a stop to the union, however, refusing to officiate after learning the two weren't even a couple. They had only come together to mimic something the great Sonora had done. She said that marriage was not something to take so lightly, and definitely not something to rush into without knowing the other first.
The duo separated and did not speak to one another after... But it was quickly seen that this was a bad thing.
They missed each other; Ametrine pouting that "Tourmie" would have loved things she sees at school. And Tourmaline was somehow even sadder, curling into her shell and isolating from others.
Steven and Sonora realize their mistake in splitting them up and bring the two together for a different kind of ceremony. Not a wedding, as the duo should still make sure they love each other before diving into that, but a promise ceremony. They exchanged gifts and promised to try to learn more about the other, and be together like they want. And, to try to learn to love each other enough that maybe one day they can get married.
The two leave as a happy couple into the sunset :^).
toot toot.
Covah was originally created, in a very edgy way that would be practically unrecognizable to anyone looking at it today, in late July! So, here’s something for the kinda birthday boy! Reference taken from this video
I did not feel like lining and coloring these, so you get sketches.
Have the other pearls as if they were designed like my redesign for crystal gem pearl.
Some notes:
Blue Pearl, in this au, is hinted at being a two pearl fusion, her other gem hidden behind her bangs. but it’s never confirmed. Though, her size does give a good hint....
I moved Blue P’s gem to her right chest, as Blue Diamond would have her gem on her left chest and I wanted it kinda opposite.
Same with Yellow Pearl, but for her right chest.
Speaking of Yellow Pearl, she is one of few Pearls allowed to see. With her eye on her lower half always looking.
The “ribbon” tying her top to her is actually a face, as you can see. It bites and makes little noises at assailants.
Lonely Pearl’s eyes opened on accident, revealing no irises and no pupils. No way to see. She was abandoned for her crime of even daring to open her eyes.
Rip Pink Pearl. Her “spikes” and cracks are all white stained, but the rest of her is pink.
Aubergine Pearl is very excited about her freedom to see ion era three and wants to see everything. She’s more of a joke in that she gasps and Steven thinks she’s gasping at him, but she’s actually gasping at the thrones of the diamonds and finally getting to see them.
