Some of my gem designs for my toh steven universe au!
These are so old but I still really like these designs. They definitely need to be updated a bit but I’m lazy and I don’t want to right now lol. Anyway, this au does not follow the plot of Steven Universe or Toh at all, but it has elements of both. It’s very self indulgent lol
last jimstan post for a bit I swear
The best (and only) mystery shack employees as wof dragons 😋
Ideas and thoughts
Wendy - Skywing
- Wendy’s family consists of skywings that adapted to live in a climate with massive forests (hence her dappled appearance)
-her entire families fire breath is much weaker than regular skywings
- much more lithe in comparison to her family
- some of her markings resemble her canon flannel shirt
Soos - Mud/Sea
- his bioluminescent scales form question marks
- his “buck” teeth are actually mutated rainwing fangs from very distant rainwing ancestry
I kept Soos’ coloring pretty simple because I feel like it fit him, but drawing chubby dragons is my fav thing ever so I still had a blast. And skywings are always cool so Wendy was just as fun
The south park propaganda has taken me hostage. I’m gonna be honest, I never thought I would join this fandom ever again but here we are.
Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.
We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.
The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.
Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.
Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.
There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.
Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.
We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.
Reigen’s design from the wof mp100 me and @noctrca made :)
Terumob has taken me hostage and locked me in their basement
Belos is such a well written villain. His lore is one of the reasons I really love the show, yet I hate him with my whole heart. He’s just so interesting idk
