“An apple for you, Amanda.”
I’m so happy that the game has been fully released! She’s adorable and the story makes me cry. Also wanted to try something different with style and effects.

Something I find quite concerning...
is the amount of people who think Seaglass is ‘defective’ based on....very normal (in universe) features she has.
Ever since I’ve introduced her, I’ve repeatedly gotten comments on my posts and in my inbox that read to the effect of:
“CG is really small. Is she defective?”
“CG only has one eye. Is she off color?”
and even
“Hey, I noticed that she has a tooth gap, does that mean something is wrong with her?”
And I always find this really confusing, because all of the ‘evidence’ listed for the theory that she’s somehow ‘wrong’ is just.... things that make her unique! But none of them are bad.
We have SEEN small gems in the show.
We have SEEN gems with only one eye in the show.
And we have SEEN gems with tooth gaps!
...a feature which, by the way, is merely a small variation of how our mouth bones grow together, and is in no way indicative of there being something ‘wrong’ with you.
To top it all off........ Seaglass is a gem I invented! There is no canonical shape for a Seaglass type gem in the show. Indeed, not really even a standard Glass gem exists!
If I had based her on some existing type of gem and changed up her features, I could understand people wondering about WHY those were unique.
But to look at a gem that has no prior design and to immediately suspect that there MUST be something ‘defective’ about her based on absolutely arbitrary features.................. is a little odd, I must admit.
Indeed, it smells an awful lot like Homeworld thinking - ANY variation must immediately be scrutinized for ‘wrongness’ and set upon with the suspicion dedicated to something harmful.
And if this was only about a cartoon, I’d probably shrug it off.
But the reality is..... this is some top-tier level middle school mentality.
Scrutinizing people for ‘flaws’ first and asking questions second is an extremely unfair way to interact with others.
And I want you guys (especially the younger peeps reading my comic) to understand that if this was YOUR kneejerk reaction to Seaglass......maybe that’s not the healthiest thing?
Why did you assume that something unique automatically meant ‘defective’? Why did you theorize that she came out ‘wrong’ simply because she was a little different from the rest of the cast? (And not even extremely so.) And most importantly:
Have you ever done this to a real human being?
Anyway, the point is - people are sometimes born different. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are ‘defective‘. Try not to assume that brokenness is the ONLY alternative to total assimilation.
And let her sleep.
