uhh peridot SU for the ask meme? i liked her a lot when i was younger and since you take SU characters thought id try lol

Sexuality Headcanon: While it's not technically canon since it didn't explicitly show up in the show, Maya Petersen (one of the show's storyboard artists) said that Peridot is written as aroace, so the fandom (myself included) generally agrees that she's canonically aroace.

Gender Headcanon: I believe all Gems are canonically nonbinary, so she's defintely enby. Other than that, I'm not sure! I don't think she knows either lol. I think the concept of gender would fascinate her though.

A ship I have with said character: while I've very gradually warmed up a little to Lapis and Peridot as a queer platonic ship, I actually enjoy her dynamic with Amethyst a lot more. Can't decide if I like them more as just friends or more a QP thing though.

A BROTP I have with said character: I already talked about Amethyst and Peridot so I'm going to say Garnet and Peridot! The amount of love and trust between those two is phenomenal. And I know I'm cheating but this is so closely followed by Steven and Peridot I can't NOT mention it.

A NOTP I have with said character: Used to be Peridot and Lapis, but again, I've since calmed down a bit about them. I just. Really didn't like how their relationship started (and how the events of Back to the Barn were just never adequately addressed as something other than a shortcoming of Lapis, I guess??) But now? Maybe....I mean I almost feel like it's cheating to mention a "Steven x Gem" ship in any more-than-friendship way because that just generally makes me uncomfy, so I'll go with...Jasper and Peridot. Though I do think they could be friends now!

A random headcanon: Peridot 100% writes Camp Pining Hearts fanfiction.

General Opinion over said character: I love her so much! I love her personality, I love her arc, I love everything she brought to the story. I really love her voice too.

#Peridot is such a good character

Nothing more isolating then finding this guy cute as hell

#LISTEN TO ME LISTEN TO ME #aaah but hes mean to steven and hurt him #take a drink for every fav.#oooh but hes weeeiird and annoying #describe early season ''gremlin'' peridot as a character and look at me in the fucking eyes #his design is baddddd #HIS HAIR IS CURLYFRIES ITS ADORABLE #Everyone has shit to say when a teen/young adult character is bastardized until theyre pudgey and a man #i get he made dumb mistakes but note how he like..stopped? silent improvement/the writers literally just erasing him #''its not even good on chips!'' is iconic #had to break my fucking silence sorry one of my partner's said they hated him n i had to set the record straight

I went into rewatching Steven Universe thinking Lapis and Jasper was a metaphor for abuse and reactive abuse, but no they just wrote an abusive relationship and the recovery of it.

#way to go Rebecca Sugar!!! /gen #No like seriously I thought it was more subtle than what it is #also obviously people want complex female characters but can't handle Lapis #Please Im begging you just have a little empathy for what she has gone through #(I don't remember Lapis Lazuli Discourse I just remember people being upset she was mean to peridot and stole the barn)#to be fair I started rewatching Steven Univeree because I was watching peopleake fun of Lily Orchard #and bad faith SU critism from Right Wing Bigotry #so I may not be interacting with good faith Lapis critism #anyways you can feel sympathy and understand 2 peoples perspectives #lapis lazuli #lapis lazuli apologist #Jasper #steven universe #abuse mention

I'm gonna have a mental breakdown why am I getting lapis and jasper discourse tiktoks in 2024. WHY ARE WE STILL VICTIM BLAMING JASPER IN 2024

#'heathy relationships feel foreign to abuse victims :((( that's why lapis wanted power and hurt jasper'#GUESS WHO'S ALSO A VICTIM AND EXPLICITLY WAS THE ONE BEING ABUSED IN THE LONG TERM OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP #WHO WENT CRAWLING BACK BECAUSE HER SELFWORTH IS SO BAD THAT THE ONLY WAY SHE FEELS GOOD ABOUT HERSELF IS IF SHE'S BEING ABUSED #jasper was robbed and denied a character/redemption arc #the butch/masc shaming in so many fandoms is so real #lapis and peridot are innocent victims of a corrupt system and deserve the space to grow because they're small and fem #but because jasper is big and masc that means she's like a 'man' and as we all know men cant be victims because men are always the abusers #i have opinions #anyway #slight rant #fandom discourse #jasper su #steven universe

woe! first art post since a month ago be upon ye! take my gay bugs

[Start ID of the first image. A digital drawing of the five bugs forming Team Taranoake, drawn without anthropomorphized biology, short clips of text describing each one's name, pronouns, species, and size. The background is a solid-color pale orange, with the rest of the drawing being similarly flat-colored and golden-toned. The first shows Kritto, an azure damselfly, who stands on two legs with short stilts to counter the length of xer abdomen. She's light teal with black stripes, holding a brown scroll in one claw, the other pair of arms tucked between her two backpacks behind xer. Next is Lidii, a worker of the ant species Myrmecocystus mexicanus, yellow and orange. She's rambling about something excitedly, just barely propping up the thick wooden weapon beside her. Third is Rantan, an ox beetle, brown with yellow fur. He subjects himself to whatever Lidii's talking about, sitting with all six limbs on the ground and a mildly tired expression, resting their head on one claw. Gorge, a light purple coquina clam, is settled beneath two of Rantan's legs, his shell decorated with small notes and scribbles from work as an archivist. Last is the sea slug Ceras, a single-stalk aeolis, pink with bright stripes of yellow and white along their cerata. She's drawn further away from the rest, his head turned back towards the other four bugs. Like Kritto, they're marked as an honorary member of the team, lacking the seaglass bracelets shared by the three close-knit bugs from the center of the drawing. End ID.]

^ once again, these guys are from a universe I made with @froggoexists :]

[Start ID of the second image. A colored sketch of two humanized original characters, Ceras, a sea slug from the previous image, and Thorn, a Hollow Knight vessel. They're both drawn from the waist up, facing forward, close enough that Ceras's hand wraps around Thorn's shoulder. Ceras is shown as a young Black person, their cerata incorporated as long locs dyed pink, white and yellow, and piercings stud their ears and tongue. Thorn is paler-skinned, taller and thinner than Ceras, with pointed ears, and white hair styled at the top into two rows of spikes. Ceras is wearing a studded denim vest, thoroughly decorated with eclectic pins and patches, mostly of bands, bugs, games, and simple declarations of hope. Thorn wears instead a black leather jacket, with long studs at the shoulders and smaller ones along the sides and center. One sleeve is torn off, as they don't have a right arm, and the other is cuffed to display the adaptive device making up half their left. Ceras is sticking their tongue out and smiling, one eye shut and the other turned to Thorn, stimming with their free hand. Thorn's looking back at them with a smile.

The background is simple, a pink horizontal wave. There's a bright, pale halo behind Ceras' head, one which resembles a spoked wheel or a sun, seeming to cast light upon the two of them. A line at the bottom of the image reads "part-god mute disabled they/she/he bug punk BESTIES", and at the top of the image there's a small doodle of their original forms sitting together contentedly. End ID]

#having a bit of trouble being articulate lately hence the Wall Of Text IDs. hope they're still good 👍#anyway i tried to post these like three weeks ago and most of the text on here is from then but i am Nervous. strange aversion to Existing #think it started from a fear no one enjoys oc art and eventually it backed up to the point i didn't post non-oc art either??#i do miss doing that though and besides i know like >2 people like my stuff regardless. so here's to the first step in Not Being So Scared #peridots-art #bugs #mostly mollusk #kritto mm #lidii mm #rantan mm #gorge mm #ceras mm #thorn hk #hk ocs #peridots-ocs #< for a long time i had oc tags on their own so as not to be confused with fandom character tags but actually it's. less efficient. so #oho it is going to be Annoying changing everything though. anyway if I don't post this now it'll be stuck in Drafts Hell forever so 👍👍👍#hollow knight

Rediscovered another SU joke that i love:

Lars: (accidentally spills fresh coffee all over Garnet) "Are you okay?! That coffee was REALLY hot"

Garnet: (not reacting to being spilled on) "I drink coffee for breakfast!"

I love Garnet so much. She seems so stoic and mature but she's just as big of a dork as the other Crystal Gems. Two of my favorite moments are her letter back to Jamie (N. O. Period. The end. Forever and even after that.) and when she's on the phone with Connie's mom (The children are playing swords. I mean they're playing with swords. They're bleeding. Oh no, they're dead. Don't call again. *hangs up* I panicked.)

#i've been wanting to list off my favorite characters ever since i finished the series #and i just can't because i can't narrow down my faves to an acceptable number #and then i feel bad for leaving certain characters out #i can't even decide if my number 1 fave is peridot or spinel #it's a good problem when a show has too many good characters #steven universe #answered asks

We talk a big storm about Edward meeting Connor and what could have been, but what about the grandparent who was there for him? The Clan Mother was literally the person who called the shots and clashed with Ratohnhaké:ton's mother in the DLC. Haudenosaunee societies were matriarchal, so what did he learn from the Clan Mother, who probably selected their leaders and had to both rebuild the village after it was burned and be there for Ratohnhaké:ton when his mother -- her daughter -- died?

There was just as much family dynamic to be explored through his maternal side as there was with his paternal. I love how much story was put into Assassin's Creed III through its shifting perspectives -- first Haytham, briefly Ziio, and then Ratohnhaké:ton throughout different phases of his life -- but I felt that a lot of pivotal points were neglected screentime.

Maybe Ube Softee could have explored his life further, but as we all know, Connor gets a significant amount of hate coming hot off the heels of Ezio, and his stories have been scrapped.

#like bro #i did not expect to have to kill kanentokon so soon #meanwhile i spent a good month just wrapping up ac odyssey's three storylines #edward kenway #connor kenway #haytham kenway #it's also a missed opportunity to dive into mohawk society further #like damn ube softee #if you're gonna make a game about a mohawk character don't do it halfheartedly #ratohnhaketon #assassin's creed 3 #ac3 #assassin's creed #ac #connor #tears falling like peridots #ziio #kaniehtiio

I do love seeing autistic headcanons for characters become popular with fanon but at the same time I always dread it a little because I just know a bunch of allistic people are gonna be coming in in droves to infantilize the shit out of those characters, and in the most drastic cases strip them of like. Any and all autonomy in fanwork

#cookie.txt #seeing this shit happen with papyrus and peridot when i was in highschool and the UT and SU fandoms were active #let's just say it uh. didn't feel good to me as an autistic person :/#i'm already seeing people start to do this with laios and it's infuriating #how many times do we have to repeat that autistic people aren't babies before it fucking sticks in your heads?#these characters are all fully grown independent adults. jesus fucking christ

why didn't peridot stay disabled… it would've added to their whole message of being different being okay and diversity and…. sigh….

#she didn't have magic in a magic-oriented society and used limb enhancers as a disability aid…#but they immediately threw out her limb enhancers because they posed a threat to them I guess #and then they gave peridot metal powers anyway #sorry I'm thinking thoughts.#su does a lot of things really well I very much admire it's queer rep and interesting storyline and mental health commentary etc #but the thing it does quite poorly imo is disability rep. at least when it comes to physical disabilities #and this is also a problem with steven's healing powers #while I understand he has diamond powers which means he's going to have quite strong abilities #I think healing powers have to have some limitations or else you're implying that disabilities can be cured #which is a very uncomfortable concept #steven cures connie’s eyesight without knowing he even can (and without her permission ofc)#which I feel at least implies he can cure blindness #and he cures literal death so I don't think there are Any limitations?#which is frustrating #sigh…#don't get me wrong I love this show #I just. I want disability rep I don't see enough good disability rep #I love toh forever for giving me the clawthornes because hello chronically ill characters I love seeing myself in you 🥹#anyway if I ever make art of peridot someday I'm gonna try to remember she deserves new limb enhancers or something.#or if I make a human peridot I'll give her prosthetics or some kind of mobility aid because! she deserves it I love her #you know what I'm thinking of kid cosmic too why doesn't chuck get a new translator or a wheelchair #bro said it hurts to speak english and he literally does not have legs get this man some disability aids PLEASE

Mentioned this on twitter but I really love TV static/Lost reception/connection type characters!

Like they're just so damn intriguing and are usually really menacing/unnerving, GRRRAAAAAHHH so cool!!!!

So the fact Debunky's Entity in the latest [REDACTED] SMP video is a TV static character just sends this entity to the top of the list of my favourite Redacted Entities, I'm also obsessed with shapshifting characters hence why my sona is a shapeshifter and the TV Entity glitching into different Redacted Subjects is just so fuckin' good you have no idea how just bubbly I was seeing that happen AAAAAAAA !! 💥

But yeah the example I compared the TV Entity to was Dream Peridot from Steven Universe Future which isn't a real chatacter (like she's just a figment of Steven's subconscious) and barely as menacing as the Entity but the blank/vacant face of Dream Peridot paired with the channel error colour screen glasses just fills me with dread whenever I watch the full episode is so powerful and hits a spot in my brain hehehe

But I think a good inbetween of these 2 characters is Spamton (yes he's a static related character because whenever he's having his more serious moments it's often conveyed through his sprite having static flowing behind his glasses) because he can be dead serious one minute and incredibly menacing at other times with random outbursts but has a more comedic centre to his character, he's just such a complex but stupidly funny guy it's great, Toby Fox is a brilliant character designer.

I honestly can't wait for Chapter 3+ of Deltarune with the TV character that was teased at the end of Chapter 2 and I can't wait to see what's in store with the TV Entity on [REDACTED] SMP!
