Here Is The Penultimate Gem For My Gem Bomb; B*tch Crystal! (Yes. This Is A Thing.)

I’d like to introduce the Wilted Rose AU! These are the main players in this au (plus a few more gems I haven’t gotten designs down for yet). More info under the cut!

Padparascha came out perfect. That is the main difference. Padparadscha came out perfect and was immediately brought before the three diamonds (Pink was elsewhere) to show her wisdom. After all, no Sapphire had been born perfect before. 

There, she gave a vision that shook the diamonds to their core: Pink Diamond will rebel and bring about the end of gem culture as we know it. White Diamond immediately told Pink she would "test her patience". She was to wait, alone, until the Diamonds came and retrieved her. 

 After this, Pink Diamond was nothing more than a fairy tale to most gems. The only evidence she existed was a memorial garden in the very corner of a Blue Diamond galaxy. 

Thousands of years later, Pink is found again by a Peridot conducting warp tests, and suddenly Pink has a group of friends willing to help her get back into society. And maybe even back at her fellow Diamonds.....

A few tid bits what changes there are to gems:

Padparascha is perfect, obviously. 

Pink Pearl was released from White Diamond’s grasp and reset. She was given to Padparascha for warning the Diamonds of the rebellion. Padparascha kept her mostly the way she was. For her Diamond’s eventual return.

Peridot is still short as, due to the lack of a fourth diamond, there is still a lack of resources. 

Crystal Gem Pearl is reset and given to Blue Diamond as a way to remember the littlest Diamond.

Sapphire comes out off color due to the persistent “ice” (it’s actually an unformed sapphire gem she formed around) stuck in her eye. But she can easily mask as non defective for “missions”, such as sneaking defects off the chopping block and getting them somewhere safe.

Amethyst is one of the few gems who hangs out around Sapphire, having still stayed in the ground too long. They fuse occasionally. There is no Garnet. 

Spinel was in the ground when Pink was sent away. She was sent to manage the memorial garden as soon as she emerged. No friends for this Spinel....

Lapis Lazuli lost a lot of rank after her former best friend and love interest Aquamarine told the Dimaonds about a rule the Lazuli had broken. Lapis was stationed at the memorial garden, to forever be stuck watering plants instead of being free to terraform.

New gem for my replace all canon gems with ocs au! Sonora Sunrise!

This is LONG so I’m putting it all under the cut! TL;DR - Very first gem in existence ever, even before White Diamond, crystal gem, and wife to Coral

At the beginning of it all, there were but three gems. Sonora Sunrise was the very first of three gems before the gem empire began, and the only naturally occuring one. She came to life very suddenly one day, and found herself alone on a barren planet.

Sonora wanted company. So, she studied where she emerged from, and crafted the second ever gem. A gem who called herself Pearl. It was just these two for a very long time, learning about their species and the planet they were on.

However, Pearl was a massive creative, who wanted nothing more than to create a gem herself. Like Sonora had created her.  Sonora shared how she had created Pearl, and Pearl then made the third ever gem….

White Diamond.

White Diamond wanted more. She wanted more company. More gems. More everything. And, eventually, she grew an ego for crafting so many more gems than Sonora Sunrise and Pearl.

Sonora and Pearl watched in horror as White Diamond started to enslave gemkind. They were not happy about this, but White simply made stories that they were the bad guys in this tale. Trying to bring down the empire that White so lovingly crafted, out of jealousy that they hadn’t done it first.  

Pearl escaped into her mind and left, while Sonora…. Sonora went to Homeworld. She was treated as royalty, seen as equal to a Diamond. After all, she was the first gem ever. However, they waved off her ideas that gems could be the pilots of their own destiny. That gem kind should not be crafted to be nothing but slaves for the ego of one. No, White Diamond had crafted them all at this point. They would follow her. And, eventually, it was so ingrained in them all that they couldn’t break free anymore. So, Sonora watched as her dream of company turned into a nightmare.

Eventually, after thousands and thousands of years, there were four Diamonds. And, eventually Earth was to be a colony for the youngest Diamond. Pink.

Sonora heard of whispers of a rebellion brewing on the surface of Earth. Gems, fighting for their freedoms to choose their fates. Sonora was so proud! So inspired! She never could fight back as a lone gem, but with Rose leading and able to inspire gems to finally fight back…. They all had a chance.

Sonora Sunrise joined the fight for Earth, and for the freedom of all gems. She became a crystal gem.

She insisted Rose lead, not wanting to lead. Out of fear that if she lead, she would just become like White had. Or, do something worse.

Eventually, Sonora became one of the only survivors of the corruption blast.

She stayed to fight for Earth and try to find a cure for the gems who were corrupted. And, eventually, to help raise Steven.

Sonora is a bit flat affected, not really reacting with facial emotions to things and being mostly monotone. She’s serious, doesn’t get a lot of jokes, but has a hidden passionate side when it comes to the rights of individual gems.

She, eventually, has to cooperate with Coral when Coral is the only one who can help with a threat to Earth that they can’t stop. The two get close, actually fusing when Sonora hadn’t fused since Rose passed away. And, eventually, the two fall in love and wed.

Spinel having a spinel but that spinel has a pearl

The Diamonds gave Spinel the Pearl first. They customized her, thinking their lovely Spinel would adore a beautiful Pearl to do things for her. Spinel was horrified at the notion, and felt terrible with this poor Pearl following her around everywhere. The Diamonds, not realizing their mistake, gave her a Spinel as a “sorry” present. Obviously she was uncomfortable with the Pearl, so she should have something more her speed- another Spinel! :) This gift was even more horrifying to poor Spinel and she’s not sure what to do with them. 

I’m not sure a nickname for the Pearl but the Spinel is known as Crow

A totally for-fun fan fusion of the lovely @ask-whitepearl-and-steven ‘s Sea Glass and Moissanite; Merlinite! A devious, plotting pirate snake lady. If you haven’t read their comic, go do it! It’s super good. 

*throws muffin*

Sir™, this is a Wendy's, please throw the Brand Appropriate Food at the staff.

Decided to redesign Dolomite. with bits pulled from @pocket-gems lovely redesign of her! 

me: I should design the gems I promised! 

brain: fuck you we’re finishing the wips of the two adult characters we have set aside for hybrid high. 

me:

me: uh-

So yea. I’ve had these guys set aside for half a year now and FINALLY decided to line them. These two are very important staff members for the high school, being the Principal and Vice Principal respectively..... And one of them being Percy’s new step parent.

On the top we have Principal Moral Nighshade; A City Fae and.... No one’s sure. She is a hybrid, but no one really knows what of. She created the high school for hybrid children like herself many years ago, creating a safe space so children who were seen as different could be around others like them. She even set it up so on the first day students could get a pronoun pin so people knew how to identify them. 

Moral used to work at a bar, for their boring summers and nights to be filled up. This is where they met a very worried-about-her-son Mrs. Hudson..... Their romance was private and whirwind, preparing to get married just over a year into their courtship. And, before Percy even met Moral. 

Percy is highly suspicious of Moral and her intentions with his mother at first, as fae are regarded as dangerous and conniving by most humans. But, they become close and bond very well eventually. 

Moral uses she/they pronouns, and is able to grow a beard. She’ll not shave it if it’s the weekend.

On the bottom, we have the very kind Vice Principal Gulliver Dirgefall! Widely beloved by the students, Gulliver is a chipper, friendly dullahan-skeleton hybrid who used to teach Theater Lit; where he would teach famous plays to his children. However, he quickly gained the vice principal position due to how beloved he is by all the staff, students, and parents. 

He runs the Sexuality and Gender Alliance club at the school, and is a married gay man. Gulliver is a cis male and uses he/him pronouns
