for OCs: what fandom discourse would there be surrounding my character if they were canon?

Shade is there, “Hey, it’s okay. You’re a busy Gem. I just had a big realization and I was hoping I could talk to you about it. I’m in the middle of something right now though, would it be alright for me to come in tomorrow? It would better for me, I think.”

dinomodtriad said : A message from Shade on Satin’s answering machine: “Hay Satin, it’s Shade… Again. Look, before you block my number again hear me out, please. I’m not calling to talk about my mom, I’m calling to talk about me. But… Since you didn’t pick up, I’m gonna assume you’re busy. Please, call me back at your earliest convenience."   //   SATIN SPAR.

   Oh, dear.   Not only was Satin in an appointment when she got this, Shade also thinks she’s blocked the Pearl’s number ?   Satin’s going to have to do some investigating into that, because she’s done nothing of the sort.   Her sisters and mother know better than to play a prank like that, don’t they ?

   She has some time before her next appointment, so she fires up her communicator and connects to Shade’s.           “   Hello, this is SATIN SPAR.   I apologize for not answering ; I was in a session with another patient.   How are you doing, honey ?   Anything I can do for you ?   ”

“Hmm. From what I know of human media...” Shade begins, “Princess Leia is a character in a movie/television series titled “Star Wars”. Her first appearence is in the series’ first release, “Star Wars: A New Hope” Later titled as the fourth movie after the prequel trilogy was released. In “A New Hope”, She is first seen with her hair done up in a pair of buns, one on either side of her head. And has this style throughout the movie and well into its follow-up: “The Empire Strikes Back”.”

She turns to her fellow pearl, “Though my favorite character is Chewbacca. My diamond has the series saved in her ship’s data banks, we can watch it some time if you’d like.”

“Who is Princess Leia? And why have some humans been saying my hair reminds me of her?”

The bi-color sapphire thought for a bit before replying. “I think it depends largely on the circumstances, but yes. Overall, saying ‘No’ is an available option.”

“How about no? Is that an option?”

[orange-topaz]

Send “👏”and I’ll draw what a fusion between our muses would look like.

please specify which muse and maybe provide a reference for your muse.

“Neither did I!” he replied, “But Rose said the humans associate mineral topaz with elemental fire. And well, couldn’t help but wonder.”

He watched the flame for a bit, “This is the best I can do at the moment. But I’m already thinking of ways I can incorporate this into my weapon.” A larger blast perhaps, or farther shots, or...

“You think I can swim in lava too?” he asked, extinguishing the flame in his hands.

(orange-topaz, pre-discussed RP) "Bismuth! Bismuth, look!" Topaz called as he practically galloped over to the blacksmith, in his hands was a small flame, resting on his palms.

@orange-topaz

“Whoa, Topaz! What’s up?” Bismuth would have asked a much different question, but she saw the fire resting in Topaz’s palms. Her eyes lit up. She knew that rubies had plenty of fire power, and that she and Garnet were both heat resistant, but this was an entirely new development.

“Would’ja look at that! I didn’t know you had fire powers!”

[orange-topaz]

“I... Do actually” Topaz admitted. “I’ve never really had a reason to be here before now. Any help I can get getting around would be great.”

He pulled a stopwatch from his gem, opening it to check the time before closing it and storing it again. “I got some time before I need to be at the greenhouse, though. I can look around unless you’re in a hurry.”

Topaz nodded, “That’s good, sis. As for me, I’m going to be host a field trip for Peridot’s botany class, knowing a few tricks of the trade myself. I’ll show them around Tapas Island, teach them about hydroponics and other alternative growing methods, and even let them sample some of last year’s harvest. Stored in a pocket dimension to ensure freshness, of course. I came here early so I can find Peridot’s greenhouse.”

That was of course not to mention the busy week the island’s residents had to clean up and make a good impression for the class.

“Oh, that sounds like fun!” Topaz had heard about Peridot’s horticultural class. The idea of going on a field trip sounded like fun to her, too. She almost wanted to ask if she could come along. The only reason she didn’t ask was because she wasn’t in the class.

“I hope you have fun on that field trip. I’ve never been to Tapas Island, but it sounds like a nice place,” she said. As it happened, though, Topaz did know where the greenhouse was. She could help Topaz out!

“Do you need help finding the greenhouse?”

[orange-topaz]

“Oh, that’s really nice, Lapis!” Amber said as she examined Lapis’ picture. She was sure Toby would hurt himself trying to figure out how to fly with wings made of water. It would all be biological jargon to Amber. But it he was happy, it was jargon worth listening to.

“Actually, now that you mention it...” she continues, Reaching into her purse and pulling out a white piece of cloth. “I’ve taken up embroidery recently, and used what I know to make this.” She passes the cloth to Lapis, stitched into it, the figures from her and Toby’s dreams. An orange centaur, a fireball in his hand, and a yellow-orange woman with threads on her fingertips.

“I think I did a good job.”

orange-topaz‌:

“That is rather far fetched!” Amber agrees, “Toby and I have had dreams like that. He’s said something about being a centaur with fire powers, and I’ve had dreams where I could spin silk from by fingers.”

“That is strange,” Lapis admitted. She hadn’t thought Amber would be able to relate with her. Still, her gaze turned to her sketchbook. Fingers brushed against the page it was open to.

“I guess I was inspired,” she went on. “I… may have sketched it out. Not that I can do anything with it, but you know. Fanciful stuff is fun sometimes.” Sure enough, there was a rough sketch of a woman with water wings. She wasn’t sure how they worked.

[orange-topaz]

“That is rather far fetched!” Amber agrees, “Toby and I have had dreams like that. He’s said something about being a centaur with fire powers, and I’ve had dreams where I could spin silk from by fingers.”

“I had this weird dream. I was some kind of… elemental, I guess? And I had these wings made of water that I could fly with.”

“I know. Crazy, right?”

[orange-topaz]

“I know, I know. But I almost had them!” “Them”, being a small group of Homeworld soldiers on the verge of discovering a very important Crystal Gem base, whom Amber had nearly managed to neutralize until one the last one pinned her to the ground, and threatened to break her with a chisel.

Had Garnet not saved her, Amber would have been shards.

“But… Thanks again, Garnet.”

(orange-topaz) "Okay... That one's on me."(War-era Amber and and Garnet? I'll send you some info about Amber during the war through the IM)

@orange-topaz

“Yeah, it pretty much is.”

“Watch yourself next time. I won’t always be there to rescue you, Amber,” Garnet said. It was lucky that Garnet had predicted the chance for Amber to end up in trouble. Otherwise, things could have been much worse.

[orange-topaz]

How cute is your muse?

Borrowing from @shortexistxnce​

Featuring:

“Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.” -Thanos

To soft to be a bot.

“I think I broke it.”

“I’m literally the Gem from the previous one.”

Not much of a hugger.

“I’m wholesome and i know it.”

Wings agrees.

“Apparently, I was cuter before the name change?”

Shade agrees, reluctantly.

Um?

You holding out, Thinker?

“I didn’t expect this... Interesting.”

Send 🍦to learn one way to completely melt my muse.

Be it a physical ‘weak’ spot, a romantic gesture they adore, or ever saying certain words to them.

[orange-topaz]

“Maybe...” Shade pondered, “But I still think I should see Satin about this because maybe it’s not him, but me. I mean, Nacre and Mohra are happy as clams together in Era 3. And here I am, an Era 2 Gem stuck in her ways. I want to be happy too, but I feel my reservations are keeping me from from fully supporting them.”

Then Pink mentioned meeting the Yautja herself.

“If you think it’ll help, go for it. As for me, I think I’ll hold on until I figure my situation out.” And maybe get over the remnants of her Era 2 programming, whatever they may be.

“Since December. Mohra, I think his name is?” Shade shuddered, the Yautja always put her on edge. “I want to be happy for him and Nacre, but I always feel like a have to walk on eggshells around him. I’m afraid of even talking to- No, I’m afraid of the idea of talking to him, that’s how much he unsettles me, Pink.”

‘December’ was a vague term to Pink. While she did know how years passed, ‘December’ could have meant anything. How long ago had the December in question been? Years ago? Just a few months ago? She shook her head, trying not to focus on it too hard before she addressed Shade again.

“Stars…” She murmured her first word. “Maybe you just need to give him a chance? If Nacre likes him as much as you’ve made it sound like she does, there must be a reason.” Poor naive little Pink. Of course she would think that. She wanted to see the best in these sorts of things, even in the face of her own hardships. Mohra may have unsettled Shade, but as far as Pink knew? He hadn’t done anything wrong. Not really.

“Maybe I could meet with him at some point. See for myself what he’s like and what Nacre likes about him.”

Topaz nodded, “That’s good, sis. As for me, I’m going to be host a field trip for Peridot’s botany class, knowing a few tricks of the trade myself. I’ll show them around Tapas Island, teach them about hydroponics and other alternative growing methods, and even let them sample some of last year’s harvest.

“Hrk-!” Topaz didn’t even have time to react before his sister pulled him into an embrace. He never was as big or strong as his any of his siblings.

“Hey, Topaz! It’s been a while hasn’t it?”

This was gonna get confusing fast, just calling each other “Topaz”. She needed a nickname. But that would be discussed later.

“It’s good to see you too! How have you been?”

“I’ve been doing so well,” Topaz answered, finally releasing him from the hug. She knew it might get confusing to just call each other Topaz the whole time, but that was how things had been on Homeworld. Even on Earth it wasn’t that much different. Ah well, she thought. They’d work it out eventually.

“Since coming to Earth, I’ve been learning so much! I’ve been taking a lot of Garnet’s classes, and I just feel so much more… at peace with myself. Like it’s okay to be me,” she said. By ‘her,’ she meant being fused all the time. Topaz and Topaz were both happy as could be, especially now that Topaz herself had more of an idea about how her components felt about each other.

“How about you? Did you come to learn things at Little Homeschool, too?”

@variantia

Imperial Topaz is allowed into The Lab, Orange Topaz’s main research facility.

“Welcome, Imperial Topaz.” The recently installed A.I., Blipp, chirped, “But if you wish to see your son, I’m afraid he’s... Busy. And does not wish to be disturbed.”

Meanwhile, Topaz himself is sobbing in his personal lab, his head against his desk, a nearly empty bottle of heavily-fermented homemade cider in his hand.

“THOUSANDS OF YEARS RESEARCHING TECHNETIUM... WASTED!” the cry is heard across the facility.

“As I said...” Blipp began again, “He’s really, really busy.”

[orange-topaz]

Muns, tell my muse about something, and they will respond IC!

It can be about anything, such as how your day went or something cool!
