ooc post (canon sunstone headcannons)
I decided to make a list of sunstone headcannons that I have. Some might be a little odd, but I love to know your opinion on these.
-sunstone purrs when she’s happy, content, and relaxed, it’s rare though. It’s super quiet, so you wouldn’t hear it unless you’re next to her. She also doesn’t realize that she purrs unless you point it out. She gets embarrassed when she’s told she’s purring. - she’s gets grouchy when she’s super tired. She might even have an attitude if she’s extra tired.
-her head is super soft and fluffy. It feels like a warm blanket that just got out of the dryer.
-her body radiates a mild, soft heat. Somehow, no matter how long you hug her, the heat doesn’t get uncomfortable.
-doesn’t get a lot of modern slang, but loves using 90s slang
-absolutely loves hanging out with the other crystal gems when they aren’t busy
-Greg taught her how to play guitar
-when she gets really angry she turns into a blue flame.
-doesn’t like serious cold
-tries her best to make others happy, and will feel really bad if she accidentally makes anyone uncomfortable or hurt
-she inherited none of garnet or Stevens romantic skills, so she gets super shy and flustered with anything that has to do with romance or if she gets complimented too much.
-if she gets really tired, small trails of smoke sometimes come out of the sides of her mouth
-despite being kind and a sweetheart, she’s not gullible or stupid
-if she accidentally breaks something that doesn’t belong to her, she will upfront, honest and apologize
-despite enjoying helping others and giving advice, she gets a little upset when people think that’s all she is or all that she’s good for.
-she really enjoys sleeping on a pile of blankets and pillows, but doesn’t do it often
-she loves getting validation, whether it’s verbally or physical. When it’s verbal, she loves the compliments. When it’s physical, she loves getting hugs and pets.
-Greg got her a color changing lava lamp. She absolutely loves it.
-for some reason, her shades don’t change how she sees things. You would imagine the shades would cause her to see everything in a dark red tint, but they don’t.
-she’s secretly afraid of failing her friends, or anyone really, when they need her most
-she’s already confirmed to be non-binary, but I like to imagine that she’s also pansexual.
-isn’t against poly relationships, but personally wouldn’t want to be in one herself.
-secretly gets annoyed when people ask her what’s wrong with Steven and/or garnet whenever she’s visibly annoyed or angry. especially if she’s already explained that her components are fine, it’s just her that’s upset.
-she’s been described by multiple gems as having a big, soft heart full of love for everyone and everything
-when Steven became a vegetarian, she became one too. All the food she eats instantly gets transported to stevens stomach once she unfuses, so she thought it would be a little rude for her to, in an odd way, force steven to eat meat. She managed to find really good vegetarian versions of all the meat she likes, so she’s fine.
-she seriously doesn’t like gore or blood. It freaks her out and/or makes her queasy.
-she has Stevens big cheeks, so her face is really smooshey.
-she doesn’t like when her lower arms are covered and/or restrained
-she’s only cursed once, and it was by complete accident. She felt really bad about it.
-when she gets really stressed, she’ll sometimes sing ‘here comes a thought’ to herself
-when she gets excited, she’ll do stevens starry eyes. You just can’t tell cause of her shades.
-despite her usual calm, cool-cat attitude, she’s an absolute softy.
-she’s worried about showing her negative emotions when everyone knows her as being super positive and happy. Doesn’t help that sometimes people give her odd looks when she expresses her negative feelings.
-she accidentally slips into toxic positivity sometimes. She usually catches herself and tries to stop.
-when she’s hiding that she’s sad and/or angry, her smile can look a little unnatural/ forced.
- due to the combination of accidental toxic positivity and her hiding her negative feelings sometimes, it’s caused her to sometimes use toxic positivity on herself or forcing herself to smile. She knows this probably isn’t a good idea, but it doesn’t affect steven or garnet. She’s been trying her absolute best to stop, but it’s become a toxic habit.
-in future, when Steven gets a therapist, sunstone ended up confessing everything and sometimes has therapy sessions with Stevens therapist. Even when Steven leaves, he’s agreed to have lion bring garnet to wherever he is so they can temporarily fuse into sunstone for her therapy sessions, for the sake of her own mental health. The other crystal gems were mildly annoyed at first that they didn’t have a reason to fuse with Steven, but got over it once they realized it was only for the sake of sunstones mental health.
-sunstone has agreed to skip or cancel her therapy sessions sometimes if Steven isn’t emotionally or mentally ok enough to fuse. She thinks and understands that his problems are genuinely more important and traumatic than hers, so she’s willing to wait no matter how long.
-she absolutely hates the silent treatment. She’d rather talk things out. She’s never done it to anyone, and hates being on the receiving end of it. It makes her really upset.
-she absolutely hates guacola. The cool kids once dared her to chug an entire can, which caused her to throw up. Everything she ate had the aftertaste of guacola for the rest of the day. -due to that incident, she can’t eat anything with avocados in it. If she can’t taste the avocado, she’s fine. But if she can taste it, she gets mildly nauseous and a bad taste in her mouth.
-after a bunch of exercises, and therapy sessions with Stevens therapist, sunstone is finally able to express herself properly and freely. She no longer hides parts of herself or uses toxic positivity, she’s finally broken the habit.
I had an odd dream last night, so I decided to try drawing it because of how interesting it was. It was a pastel, calm, quiet landscape. The only sounds were my breathing and the grass under my feet.
Everything was unnaturally soft, but it was nice. I was filled with an odd sense of pure calm and bliss. The landscape seemed to be filled with it too.
I hope I have this dream again.
Blue Sunstone smiled back.
ANOTHER PERSON CALLED BLUE? HELLO!
Oh, you’re called blue as well? That’s wonderful!
Sure! I’ve been meaning to make new friends.
ANOTHER PERSON CALLED BLUE? HELLO!
Oh, you’re called blue as well? That’s wonderful!
“got it, cap!”
She runs over to the tank and sits on the edge near the opening.
““ready when you are, sir!”
She’s sneaking around corners nervously, flinching at every sound of gunfire and crashing. Someone had poofed her earlier and brought her to a war zone, and now she just wanted to leave. She soon noticed someone next to a parked tank eating some candy. They seemed trustworthy, but she kept her guard up just to be sure. “Um, h-hi?” She said quietly, trying to do her best not to surprise them.
-He finishes off the expired mars bar, before crushing the wrapper into a ball within his fist, and flicking it away- Only to suddenly whip his head around at the sound of an unknown voice.
“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
ANOTHER PERSON CALLED BLUE? HELLO!
Oh, you’re called blue as well? That’s wonderful!
““oh, no, not really. I just wanted to say hi! Who are you, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m Blue sunstone.”
Blue Sunstone walked around one of the more quiet parts of homeworld. As she looked around, here eyes settled on a tall, dark, figure. They were huge, as tall as white diamond! As blue Sunstone had only met white at the beginning of era 3, she was definitely nervous to approach them. She decided to try anyway, and walked up to the fellow gem. They didn’t seem to notice her. “U-um, hello?” He shyly waved, hoping this gem was nice.
“Oh hello dear. Can I help you with something?”
““alright then captain!”
She looked around curiously, noticing it got quiet.
““oh hey, it’s quiet now. Wait, is that a good thing?”
She’s sneaking around corners nervously, flinching at every sound of gunfire and crashing. Someone had poofed her earlier and brought her to a war zone, and now she just wanted to leave. She soon noticed someone next to a parked tank eating some candy. They seemed trustworthy, but she kept her guard up just to be sure. “Um, h-hi?” She said quietly, trying to do her best not to surprise them.
-He finishes off the expired mars bar, before crushing the wrapper into a ball within his fist, and flicking it away- Only to suddenly whip his head around at the sound of an unknown voice.
“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
She gasps excited.
““ok, so what do we do first,-”
She suddenly stops.
“Um, what do want me to call you?”

“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
“I get it, but you’re not babysitting me, I’m 7,354 years old. And besides, I have the ability to defend myself, I just got poofed in the first place because I was caught off guard.”
She thinks for a moment.
I have a calming aura I can make to make others relax, and though i only really use it to make them feel better, it might calm someone down enough that they don’t want to fight. I also can run fast, but not super speed/ the flash fast. I’m really strong too, and this!
She steps back. She holds out her hands, which suddenly burst into a deep blue flame. She quickly puts herself out and walks back.
“Um, so, was that cool? Is it good enough? I think I could be of use until I can leave. What do you think? I don’t like fighting, but I’ll do it if absolutely necessary, but I won’t kill anyone.”

“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
She looks at him, starry-eyed.
“‘”that’s amazing!”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
She seems surprised by the sudden change in attitude. She wants to ask why he thinks that, but also doesn’t want to interrupt him.

She gasps as he hands her the frog, getting starry eyed.
“oh my stars, it’s adorable! Hi little frog.”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
She watched as he ran around, grabbing things off of the shelves.
She was curious about what he was going to do, but a little nervous.
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”

“rituals? Like what?”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
Blue Sunstone stared in shock, processing what he just said.
“Oh-oh goodness no! I’m not a god, far from it!”
“And what do mean ‘’another fight with a god’? You’ve fought a god? Gods exist?!? I thought they were just made up by humans to try and explain how the earth works as it does!”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”

““What no! I don’t even like attacking people! That’s terrible!”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
““like I just said, you seemed nice and I want to say hi and maybe be your friend if you want to.”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
Well, that plan failed.
Blue Sunstone didn’t expect him to scream, so she screamed and jumped back too.
“Ahhh! I’m sorry! You just seemed nice and I wanted to say hi!”
She walked up curiously. She wasn’t sure who this person was, but they seemed nice. “Um, hi there. I’m Blue sunstone, who are you?”
*a young boy is working at something on a table, the object smoking. He can’t seem to here you over his music*
Once she realizes he can’t hear her, she’s worried about accidentally scaring him, considering she’s 7 feet tall and what he’s working on is smoking.
She decided to wait. She stood close enough that he knew she was there, but far enough as to not spook him.

“Spaceship? I don’t have one, I’ve lived on earth for two months now. I do have an apartment though. And you can call me blue or sparkles if that’s easier to remember.”
She thought for a moment as she looked around.
““you’re definitely right about it being a bit too late to start moving. I know this might be asking much, but could I stay with you until it’s safe to start going, or whenever you’re ready? I wouldn’t want either of us to get into any trouble or danger.”

“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
“sounds like it. If you don’t want to tell me anymore, steven, I won’t pry. You say what you’re comfortable with telling.”
She paused for a second.
“Um, do you want to know about me?”
ask-blue-sunstone
““that sounds nice, but I feel like maybe we should get to know each other more. All I know about about you is that you’re pink diamonds half-human son that she had when she became rose. Also that you started era 3. That’s really about it.”
“Huh, most Gems from Homeworld don’t usually want to get to know me like that,” said Steven as a hand came to his chin in thought. “Hmmm, well, based on what you’ve already said, there’s not much else to know. I’m half-human, half-Gem, and my mom is Pink Diamond. She gave up her physical form—and her gem—to bring me into the world.”
“It’s sorta complicated.”
““that sounds nice, but I feel like maybe we should get to know each other more. All I know about about you is that you’re pink diamonds half-human son that she had when she became rose. Also that you started era 3. That’s really about it.”

She smiled more. “yeah! After being hearing about earth from blue diamond, I wanted to see it for myself.”
(Ooc) blue Sunstone is already on earth for a few weeks before she decides to make the ask blog. Would you be ok with me making our roleplay as a ‘‘flashback/ look into the past’ kinda thing for the blog? Like, our roleplay is canonically how she first experienced earth. And our roleplay is how people learn about her first time on earth. Canonically, this roleplay doesn’t exist on the blog. Sorry if it’s kinda confusing. I’ll try to explain it better if you need me too.
“Well, welcome to Little Homeschool! We teach all the ins and outs of what it’s like to live alongside humans on Earth!”
(ooc) post pt2!
I decided to add more ideas that I thought of! All credit for AU idea goes to @fflaminlo.
All four of them love cookie cats with an undying passion. When sunstone, rainbow, and smoky discovered they were going to stop being made, they all silently mourned together before going to buy the rest that they could find. When Steven sings the cookie cat jingle, they want to join in, but decide to just let him sing. When Stevens eating the cookie cat that helps him discover his powers, rainbow, sunstone, and smoky are all eating a cookie cat too.
Unlike Pearl, rainbow loves eating, he doesn’t eat as much as cannon amethyst, but he does have breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with everyone else, along with the occasional snack. Rose is the one that taught him about eating. Unlike cannon, before steven gets his powers, he does end up going to school. This means he only really goes on missions on the weekends, but he doesn’t mind. All three gems and Greg do their best to help steven with his schoolwork. They all agreed that for the sake of Stevens school life, that Greg be the one to drive steven to school. After a while, rainbow started flying steven to school sometimes. rainbow 2.0 was still devoted to rose/pink, but not in a love kind of way. He wasn’t as loyal as Pearl, but still greatly cared for rose/pink as a great friend, and was willing to help her with the rebellion.
when rose first taught sunstone about eating, sunstone was prone to only eating sweets cause she liked how they tasted. Rose and Greg were the ones that taught her about eating a balanced diet, and how she would discover more foods that she liked that way. They were right, and now sunstone teaches about a balanced diet to Steven. Sunstone still eats a balanced diet to this day, and greatly enjoys it over just eating sweets. She makes sure the others maintain a balanced diet as well, especially steven, due to him being half human and her technically being his step-mom.
they were a little more excepting of steven and tried to be more involved in a positive when he was a baby, but they were overall still pretty sad.
They didn’t kidnap him. Rainbow had thought about it, but sunstone talked him out of it. She was worried steven would remember it and it would make him not trust them. Rose would definitely have been disappointed if they did that it was something she wouldn’t have wanted. She would have wanted them to help Greg raise steven, not take him away. Also sunstone genuinely wanted to care for Steven and knew the others did too, they were just grieving.
(ooc) post
I decided to expand upon an AU @fflaminlo made about Sunstone, Rainbow 2.0, and smoky Quartz being stevens parents. (Please check out their art for it, it explains it a lot better.)
So my idea is that the three of them were created to be special homeworld experiments to see if they could create a strong singular gem person with multiple gemstones. Only these three were successfully created. Sunstone was created to be part of blue diamonds court. Once Blue became displeased with sunstone and threatened to lock her away and rejuvenate her, sunstone ran away to earth.
It was decided that Rainbow 2.0 should go to pink diamond, cause they thought she deserved something special. Rainbow 2.0 replaces pink Pearl when pink Pearl is broken.
Smoky Quartz was the result of the diamonds trying to see if one could be created on earth. They considered them a failure when they didn’t come out. But they did pop out eventually, just later and smaller than they were supposed to.
Unlike the cannon crystal gems, these three hang out a lot more before he got his powers. When he did get his powers and he could control them properly, they started letting him come on more missions, as long as they were safe for him. They always give him a goodbye hug if he has to stay behind.
They tell him more things and hide less. Though they still keep secrets and don’t tell him super serious or really bad stuff. Steven still learns that rose was pink diamond the same way, though.
When they find out about rose being pink, smoky and rainbow react similarly to how amethyst and Pearl did. Sunstone, on the other hand, runs off to the fountain in a rage. Instead of a snow storm, sunstone is sitting with her feet in the water, her rage causing it to bubble. Rainbow and Steven go to calm her down and bring her home.
While they are doing that, smoky is sulking in stevens bed. Once rainbow, steven, and sunstone come back, they all work together to cheer smoky up. bismuth comes back after the four of them have a talk about rose being pink. They decide that she has the right to know. All four of them talk her about it.
The way steven gets cat Steven is similar, but instead of steven and sunstones adventure being about future vision, it’s about sunstone wanting to be better, for herself, for rainbow and smoky, and especially for Steven. Steven comforts her by saying that changing is fine, but she shouldn’t push and/or force herself to be how she isn’t. (@fflaminlo, if you see this tell me what you think. If you want to, that is.)
She smiles. “You seem nice. I was trying to make more friends, so I thought we could get to know each other and maybe hang out? If you want to, that is.”
She walks up shyly, thinking GF looked like someone who could be a good friend. “Sorry if I’m bothering you, but hi!” *waves*
" Ah there's no need to apologise, but Helloo !! ^^ "
She’s about to start explaining when, suddenly, the sound of bombs exploding echoes in the distance. It’s super loud. She screams in fear and shock as she starts tearing up again, soon taking a few seconds to catch her breath. A few tears fall. ‘O-ok as I was about to say, I need your help figuring out how to get out of here. You know, out of this warzone. You seem familiar with this place, you have that tank, and you’re the only person I’ve seen so far that didn’t look like the one that attacked me. Well, actually, I have see others that looked like you, but they were, well, you know-” she gulped. “d-dead.” She takes a second to wipe her tears, waiting for him to take it in. She knew he would probably need a second.
She’s sneaking around corners nervously, flinching at every sound of gunfire and crashing. Someone had poofed her earlier and brought her to a war zone, and now she just wanted to leave. She soon noticed someone next to a parked tank eating some candy. They seemed trustworthy, but she kept her guard up just to be sure. “Um, h-hi?” She said quietly, trying to do her best not to surprise them.
-He finishes off the expired mars bar, before crushing the wrapper into a ball within his fist, and flicking it away- Only to suddenly whip his head around at the sound of an unknown voice.
“What the… Hell? … Uh, hello there?”
“what, no, I definitely exist. As for the poofing thing, it’s a term used for when a gem, which is the alien species that I am, takes too much damage.” She seems a little more comfortable now as she points to the gemstone on her left palm. ““this is my gemstone. It’s the only truly solid thing about me. My body is a solid light projection that my gem makes to give me form, like a hologram, except not see though and with mass. When a gems body, or form, takes to much damage, we poof, and our form dissipate and go back into our gems until we have enough energy to reform.” She hopes he understood all that.

"What the... Hell? ... Uh, hello there?"
“hi, I’m Blue sunstone. I was wondering if you could help me.” Knowing he might be hesitant due to her being 7 feet tall, she explains herself. “I was minding my own business in a pretty peaceful area, when someone who looked similar to you, except they had a spike on their helmet and and x on their chest, walked up to me and tried to attack me out of nowhere. They managed to get to me and poofed me, and when I woke up, I was in the middle of this place.” She pauses for a moment to flinch at the sound of gunfire. She seems pretty shaken up and on the verge of tears. “n-now I just really wanna leave, but I’m scared and don’t know how. Not to mention I’m completely vulnerable. A-and what if it happens again?”

ask-blue-sunstone
“Yeah, I am!” She seemed pretty happy that he noticed. “I’m Blue sunstone actually, though that’s probably pretty obvious. Here’s my gem, by the way.” She shows him her left palm, which has a oval shaped, midnight blue gemstone with silver sparkles.
“That’s so cool!” Steven grinned at the blue sunstone nestled in the palm of her left hand. “I’ve never seen one like this!”
After all his gawking, however, he smiled up at Blue Sunstone. She had come here for a reason, after all, so he may as well find out. He gestured to Little Homeschool currently surrounding them.
“I take it you’re here for Little Homeschool, right?”
