Pearl's gem placement analysis

I mentioned this previously, but for those not in 'the know' all the gem placements in my AU have meanings behind them. Generally for this, I use Toonsnooper's videos on youtube as basic guidelines. Quoting him, "chest gems symbolise emotional depth, intuition and raw personal expression", all of which can be found in abundance with Pearl. She is unapologetically herself, and embraces her placement with this attitude.

Similarly to Yellow Pearl in the OG series, Pearl would have started off when she was first given to Blue attempting to pretend that she had no thoughts and feelings. What I mean by this is that she would adhere to her role as a pearl due to her obsession with rules and standards. Going to Earth not only changed Blue, but also Pearl. On Earth, she found herself and let go of the limits of what a pearl was 'meant' to be. She was loud mouthed, rude and this was absolutely empowering for her. Resisting one's nature in relation to their placement they were born with makes a gem miserable, so finally alloweing herself to be the ever impulsive Pearl she is was essential to her growth. Making decisions with her 'heart' instead of her 'head' benefits Pearl greatly as when she doesn't listen to her gem, she tends to fixate too much on rigidity, not taking into account how fluid rules can actually be.

These same emotions that help drive her decisions also can overwhelm her entirely though. Its was causes her to lash out at those around her, to scare away all of Lapis' potential partners. She cannot think logically in situations that cause her feel negative emotions and that instructs how she goes about her life. Pearl never takes a breather, she never steps back from whats aggrivating her. Instead, she charges ahead, and often gets herself in trouble due to this with those around her. Pearl's emotions are rooted in her pride, which is why she is such a confrontational gem. In a world without Lapis and Steven in her place, she is powered by her negative emotions. She yells at Garnet and ignores Coral's orders, never stopping and thinking about how they too are grieving as she is too overwhelmed by hers. Only when she stopped distancing herself from the other Crystal Gems (both physically and emotionally) could she reach stability, as while allowing her grief to control her, she stiffled all her other emotions in the process.

Pearl's arc is to remember to embrace all of her emotions fully, as allowing one to smother the others is incredibly unhealthy.

I know this is probably gonna get annoying, but I can't help it. I'm hyperfiated on invincible atm. But a lapis lazuli inspired male reader.

Mark finds his gem in space or something and frees him, and now he has this strong ass gem alien living with him, trying to learn human customs and stuff.

It’s not annoying my g don’t worry bout it. I like writing for people … but I need to get some non invincible requests soon before I crash out and explode my kitchen

Mark Grayson x Lapis Lazuli/reader

TW: reader is male, No nsfw (I wasn’t sure if you wanted any or not). Non-sexual nudity. Includes romantic HCs.

I’m writing this at fucking 3 am. On the night before Easter. I’m trying to catch the fucking Easter bunny

Mark thinks you’re so fucking cool. You’re a gem? With water powers? And blue skin? Sure you occasionally remind him of the mauler twins but mark is happy to have somebody Oliver can look up to … having … odd skin, and all …

The way you behave is just so silly to him sometimes. This ranges from eating basic foods wrong (eating cake in layers, eating burritos / tacos sideways , etc), behaving so formal in the least formal places possible, saying odd things because you don’t quite understand English yet. ( Ex: “you know what, mark? I could care less.” “Then … care … less?” “… you know what I mean.”)

There’s some behaviors of yours that mark doesn’t find as silly. Like your ptsd. From the war (I think a war happened in Steven universe? I don’t remember). Yeah he hears you murmuring in your sleep.

Being not human and all, you never really understood the idea of being polite. You’re extremely blunt in all situations, and if marks there, he tries to spare you— to explain your situation. But honestly, it just makes things work. Sometimes when you go out in public with mark, he’ll beg you to let him do all the talking.

When mark first saw your powers in combat he was absolutely entranced. It was beautiful— the water itself was already gorgeous, but watching you contort it so elegantly is just the icing on the cake. Watching you maneuver and use the water to the crescendo of its abilities was so satisfying and so breathtaking. Sometimes, he’ll have you play with your powers simply because he likes to watch the water move.

Speaking of water! When you came to earth for the first time, you kind of … smelled. You didn’t stink … but you didn’t necessarily smell good. Mark tried to explain to you in words how to bathe, but it wasn’t really getting through to you. So your first actual bath was with mark.

This is one of those moments where mark had you play with your powers just so he could watch. Sometimes when you shower together or bathe together he’ll have you change the temperature or the water pressure. You didn’t think of using your abilities in such a way before, but now that you’ve discovered it, you never want to stop.

Your first bath together was where mark got to get a really good look at your gem placement, too. Right smack dab in the upper middle of your chest- a little below your collar bones. Mark always liked crystals and gems— he thought they were pretty, and he thought it was interesting how the earth could produce something so aesthetically pleasing just from minerals and dust. He thinks yours is pretty especially, the way the water reflects or the light catches in it sometimes, it’s hard to miss— and hard to ignore.

Mark finds your powers to be incredibly convenient. Taking down low level fire goons, or whenever he needs to wash his hands, get a drink (you thought this was quite nasty, but apparently mark doesn’t mind), or just when he’s hot or dirty and needs a refresher.

Mark had to teach you social interaction. It was insanely embarrassing— but thankfully, he really only used his mom, atom eve, amber, or William to practice. Mark assumes that after spending so much time with William that it gave you a bit of a … sass.

You’ve eaten the soap from marks bathroom before. You coughed up bubbles for weeks. (Smells good ≠ tastes good. He had to teach you that as well.)

Romantic HCs

Sometimes, after a really bad day, mark will ask to lay down with you and he’ll trace his fingers around the gem in your chest. It’s satisfying and smooth against his fingertips, and it’s a nice feeling for you too.

He enjoys having a partner who can fly. Sometimes the both of you will just go on flight trips together, flying over cities or hovering in the night sky to look at the stars. You don’t ever do this without holding hands though. Holding hands makes you feel closer and more connected, and without that simple gesture, sometimes you get quite uncomfortable.

You weren’t necessarily comfortable with PDA at first. To your culture, touch and affection is an incredibly intimate and sacred thing. Though you didn’t necessarily agree with it, you obeyed anyways. So when mark broke the news to you that PDA is actually quite normal, you went a little overboard with it. You love the idea of displaying to others that mark belonged to you and you alone, letting the world know of your love— of your unbreakable bond.

Similar to mark laying you down and tracing over the gem in your chest, after a bad day or a particularly rough fight, sometimes you’ll have mark trace his fingers over your body, just gentle touches to remind you that not all super-abled humans (or viltrumites.) are out to hurt you— to remind you that at the end of the day, mark will always be there to soothe your wounds.

The both of you don’t really kiss mouth-to-mouth a lot. Only on special occasions. You don’t like it— you think it’s nasty. So the both of you opt for kisses to the forehead, the hands, the inner wrist, the cheek, the nose … anywhere but the lips, basically. (Mark believes that kissing each others hands is much nastier than kissing on the lips, but he doesn’t want to confuse you, or make you even more grossed out by humans then you already are. He just keeps his hands washed.)

((This is kinda short but holy fuck Easter bunny give me chocolate))

them as crystal gems and what their placement would be

STEVEN UNIVERSE??? *Takes a long drag of my cigarette* Haven’t been in that fandom in years….

Anyway…this is based on vibe and the gem placement is based off this thing I saw once so like don’t expect much😭🙏

Griffin: Pearl, I feel like it just makes sense and then the placement? Hm…..On his eye probably, meaning gems with those rely on what they see to form opinions and how to act and I feel like that makes sense especially referring to the fact that he’s like pretty much the first kid down in the basement and watched the other boys after his death

Billy: I really wanna say pink quartz, like the positioning and everything on the navel and that’s only because of my hc as gems with it on their navels are more feminine also forgetting self preservation but I was thinking about my hc first lmao

Vance: Peridot but placement on the chest as those gems are emotional and really on impulse, emotions whatever (it just makes sense guys like trust)

Bruce: The way I want to say Lapis Lazuli and that’s only cause I used to ship Lapis and Peridot together and I ship Brance hmm…though I can’t think of any gem that would fit him so…though I also say the placement is chest (I lowkey hc Bruce as Bipolar or some form of mood disorder so)

Robin & Finney: EVERYONE STOP IM MAKING RUBY AND SAPPHIRE I mean cmon Ruby is the protector of Sapphire, Rinney is literally that, their colors are red and blue it’s quite obvious. I feel like the gem placement would be the same as its love and holding hands and such but if not Robin would be chest also or just limbs in general (actions are louder than words) and Finney would be on the head (intelligence and such)

Gwen: Dare I say Yellow Diamond like she has that vibe like guys trust- TRUST!!!! Gem placement on limbs (again, believe actions are stronger than words, express themselves through what they do not what they say)

Donna: Also Dare I say Amethyst (like- at least when I was into the fandom Amethyst wasn’t that talked about??? At least where I looked like no one really understood her character if that makes sense like they focus on others and I feel the same way about Donna idk…maybe I’m crazy) placement would be forehead also I think

@just-call-mefr1es

Loren: Bismuth (totally not cause I shipped Bismuth and Pearl together wdym) also the gem is hollow and yknow-

Marie: Blue Diamond (because of the regret on the way she treated Loren, like how Blue regretted treating Pink badly)

Both of them would have the placement be on their backs because it’s like trouble looking ahead, focusing on the past, not being able to move on and everything like that

[thedistortedfroggit]

FANART DROP RAHHH💥💥

My latest fandom craze: Lego Monkie Kid! Especially after Season 4.

season 4. I'm not the biggest fan of Season 5, but slowly im easing into it.

(HE SAID 'DONT MAKE ME DO THIS'HFJASJK)

coughAnyway.

With this new obsession, naturally comes obsessively reading fanfiction. AND GUESS WHO FOUND A GEM.

Or, perhaps.. an Emerald? (wink)(kill me)

The Green Eyed Macaque is a fic written by ChristyKitty

TOTALLY CHECK THEM OUT!!

As of writing this, 15 chapters are currently out, and the tail end of the 15th one is what finally drove me over the edge to draw them silly!!

Had to practice drawing Macaque and the Mayor, so it'll explain the shitty quality n lil unfinished mayor head lmao/

Now, I know what Author PROBABLY meant with the tail is probably just.. the tip of it nudging the Mayor up. BUT I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT CURLING AROUND AND CHOKING HIM. THE VOICES.

Nobody can convince me that the Mayor wouldn't act smug even with a tail wrapped around his throat.

(Rip Macaque's children, I had to cut them outta the scene to draw these two mainly.)

The right was more of a practice sketch for Macaque, n thats why its kinda shitty- BUT YOU CAN TELL WHAT KINDA POSE I WAS IMAGINING FOR THE SCENE RIGHT??

Here's some progress pics I took of em!! I had sm struggle with the hand placement.

Like, I KNEW it where it was supposed to be?? but idk how to connect it properly???

Here's a little extra, if you've reached all the way down here! A little WIP of my current sketches. YES!! I am not done!! But I decided to just throw what I've got up to feed em something!!

Clearly trying to redo the hair thing (this time w a proper reference..)

The right one is more a personal hc-but-not-rlly scenario. Like, just imagining it. (I.e: What if Wukong could see Reader through Gold Vision? [Mac: "Look at me, do I look like the Six-Eared Macaque?"]) Since I'm too lazy to go reread ALL of the 1st part of the series for Reader Lore, I skimmed through the last chapter to jog any memories and went from there

Reader can't shapeshift, only cast illusions(which I'm assuming is the same thing as glamour just more widespread). Which would mean they're still the same person underneath all that. Gold Vision.. uh, well idk exactly what gold vision can do(didn't exactly finish JTTW) but if hypothetically it COULD see through illusions...

Could Wukong see through mac's illusions? What would he see? The Six-Ears Macaque, or Mac's ACTUAL self?

[girl-lostconnection]

yeah i see, you have nice observations about him, scorpio rising really suits him too alongside other placements, hes honestly a really quick witted guy thats full of surprises (gem scorp duo heavy in that)

what type of women (that is, if he's into women in your hc) would he be into in your opinion? do you see him with someone thats like him or rather quieter? does he seem loyal to you?

I personally think that he’d go both for someone like him and for someone quieter (my headcanon leans a little bit towards quieter). It’s like once he found what he needed he’d be pretty content.

But he does seem like the type to love strong women regardless of how quiet/expressive they are. It’s just the strength and resolve that really blow him away — he’s the guy that crawled himself a spot and rises to the top, I think he’d love the same quality in his other half.

If we were to talk about male partners, I feel like he’d be thrilled to have someone who’s on the opposite end of his chaotic spectrum. But again, he seems like someone who loves strong, capable and resourceful people. At the same time, if he were to have male partner he’d love someone who can snap his nose from time to time.

For me he’s the person who likes to show off and he’d be the same with his partners — he’s the biggest hype man, the biggest supporter, the biggest “dress however you want, me and Shadows can fight”.

Definitely seems like the type to get soothed by someone who balances him out but at the same time is intellectually stimulating because he seems like a man who loves with his brain first and his heart second. At least at the beginning.

Honestly, I feel like he’d be surprisingly loyal once he actually settles down with someone

Again, we saw how fierce he is in his loyalty with his people (Shadows are good example) so yeah, he’s a southern gentleman and I feel like for him it would be very natural to stay monogamous.

Regardless of how wild the previous style of his life was. But he demands loyalty just as fierce as the one he demonstrates. It’s like he’d need to know that his back is definitely covered in that instance, that the person he settled down with gets him, got him and is with him through thick and thin.

Re: reddit. Warning, lot of yapping about stats. Yh i agree the reddit does shit even in the best players and their "golden boys" (what they did to purpled last season was weird af, and they adore purpled as one of the more competitive players), although i would argue that is part of their goddamn goat debates. With "players who are praised with just existing" I was more talking about players who are seen as incredible while other ccs of similar and better stats are regarded as far worse.

For example, Owen and Krinios have better average placements than Joel, but the reddit tends to forget about both of them while Joel is often predicted top 10 (and for the record, i love Joel, one of my fav povs and ccs in general, but his reddit fanboys irk me). Kratzy and Hannah are so underrated it s almost funny atp. Martyn is inconsistent so it s difficult to explain his case, but i felt it was weird how people s reaction to his top 4 in party was "well it is non canon", while Joel is still praised for his top 1 in scuffed (where the games were, well, scuffed) and his average is only 2 spots better. Grian is also regularly overrated, and weirdly enough I have seen that Gem is as well? People assume that she is far better than Pearl and False, while in reality they are all kinda similar statistically. Pete s case is so funny, bc he s not underrated individually but people always assume his teams will do badly. The second Jojo steps down of top 6 or 7 people stop considering her s tier, while sapnap or dirt block never had that issue, and people still bring up mcc 23, when she was 18th or so, to argue she s not that good?

So yeah, as you said, the reddit shits on everyone, but there are some big biases and 2 different types of shitting: disappointment in s tiers for not doing their absolute best (which puts lots of pressure on them and is toxic af), and certain players being systematically underrated (which obv pisses them off). Sorry for the rant, I like to analyse the mcc reddit as a social experiment. I think i could write a whole ass book

Ohhhhh yeah definitely. Your last paragraph is very true. Massive shitfest. There's also again, the popularity aspect and well-intentioned overrating which could lead to underrating of other people (I was frustrated at Reddit during S2 and the whole "Grian is good at BM so every hermit must be" thing but then I stopped caring lol). And their inability to acknowledge they might be subconsciously biased against women. No one is immune to accidental / subconscious sexism. Not me, not you.

Watching everyone scramble to include Joel in the hermits' stats was originally heartwarming but then it started to feel unintentionally dismissive of the 2020 hermit cohort? Like yeah, builders in general were underrated, and Joel + 2020 hermits share that similarity. But he did Orange10, not Blue9. He was part of Pink9, but it was Grian who did the iconic move. Joel (and Pearl) can be included but it somehow feels diminishing of what the others accomplished with the hermit identity. And I mention the hermit identity specifically because they teamed together as friends and hermits, and inter-team solidarity was displayed because they were hermits (Pink9 and Blue9). Not just "haha yeah xyz hermit achieved this on their own". They were moving forward as a group under the hermit banner. False, Ren, Cub, Grian.

I feel like False is in a weird spot on the Reddit because they clearly like her, more so than HC Reddit, False Supremacy memes, calling her queen, etc. But she's not really.... discussed at length? False may be quiet, but I've watched her and I know she's good at comms and has an excellent battle sense. She notices things and reacts quickly. But that depends on how well she meshes with a team, considering People Don't Listen To Her in SkB. Which leads to fluctuating morale and inconsistency and stuff. So I get why Reddit calls her both underrated and overrated? But I am a poor judge of skills but the fact that they mention her and congratulate her is already enough to make me happy lol. The bar is ten feet underground, I'm sorry but I'm a wee bit easy to appease post Demise 2 😭

You know his tattoos are associated with organized crime in Japan?

Every PM character should have tattoos and I only have ideas for Dazai rn so here’s my hc’s

Tattoos for every important person in his life, has been adding to the set since he was 16

A pair of butterflies right over his heart for Oda, a monarch for Oda and a Mourning Cloak for Dazai (pic. 1)

A winding spiral of lilies up one forearm for Chuuya, with a feather quill weaving between them added later for Kunikida

On either hip a paw, a wolf paw for Akutagawa and a tiger paw for Atsushi

A camellia blossom for Kouyou, integrated into the shoulder above Chuuya and Kunikida’s piece.

A large intricate blackwork coverup for the piece between Kouyou and Chuuya’s flowers that used to be for Mori, instead the negative space between the black marks out the petals of a flower called a red maid, for Elise. (Pic. 2)

A knife on the back of his calf for Gin, with a chain for Tachihara linking the knife to a cigarette for Hirotsu

An abstract metal-like design across his shoulder blades with a large green gem in the middle for Ranpo (pic.3)

A minimalist fineline of the hands in the painting “creation of Adam” beneath Ranpo’s piece for Fukuzawa (pic.4)

A sleeve going up his other arm and onto his shoulder and ribs for the rest of the agency + friends blending together a field with a blue sky with fluffy clouds (Kenji) a rabbit (Kyouka) another butterfly (Yosano) two mice chasing each other (the Tanizaki’s) a faded cascade of old school computer code (Katai) a worn book (Poe) with the words “the world is better with you in it” written on the page (Sigma)

If /when the agency learns about the tattoos he very vehemently orders that no one else join their group because he’s running out of space on that half of his body and he’s already having to get creative with the placements.

On his chest starting between his collarbones and going down to his sternum is a very literal vow to protect the city, but written with the symbols mirrored so when he looks in the mirror he can read it.

Picture refs below cut

Mourning cloak butterfly:

Red maid:

Tiara that looks kind of like the abstract metal design in my head:

Creation of Adam tattoo

for the HC asks, 9, 22 & 24? --☕

You can't hide behind anon forever coffee, some day i will find your account and I will send you so much love- /silly

9 - since watching hermitcraft have you started saying things the hermits say? if so, what are they? I don't think so? Nothing comes to mind off the top of my head, unless eepy is a Bdubs thing? But I picked that up from the fandom, not Bdubs himself... I'm trying to think of grian, pearl, and gem things and none come to mind that I've picked up

22 - know any cursed things about the hermits you wish you didn’t know? Every cursed thing I learn about the hermits only enhances my viewing pleasure. Mumbos weird ass finger placement? Iconic. Ethos set-up? Life changing. It all makes them better to watch. Aside from Grian being married, that one forever catches me off guard... like, he's married and it's not to mumbo?

24 - favourite honorary hermit? Is Jimmy an honoury Hermit? If so him. I do not know who is and isn't and honoury Hermit so like... Jimmy did exist in Hermitcraft for a while during the crossover so he must count!

Ask Game!

[dykethevvitch]

1) I think their gems should be cracked!

2) I have so many thoughts on gem placement

Johnny: heart. it HAS to be heart for jonny

Marius: right arm ofc, but maybe closer to upper arm? idk

Tim: eye. it's gotta be one of his eyes, maybe his left (bc ofc everyone hcs him as having the best aim and most people are right eye dominant, so he'd basically be 24/7 one eye closed to aim)

Ivy: no thoughts on Ivy bc her's only make sense to go on the forehead

TS: I cannot come up with something better than throat, that's so perfect

Brian: back of neck purely bc that where most people hc the morality switch to be, but heart does make sense for Brian (but also there's something so juicy about back of neck placement)

Raphaella: I'm not opposed to back, but I think it should either be forehead/back of hand

Nastya: forehead makes most sense, but also for some reason I think side of thigh would be cool (there's a pretty major artery that runs through the thigh a little off center towards the inside of the thigh and maybe her gem could go there) but also inside of wrist bc of the blood thing would also work

Ashes: Ashes's should either be on the palm or in the center of their torso, like right where the sternum ends

Carmilla: heart/side of neck makes most sense with the vampire thing but consider: tounge. I have no justification for this other than it'd kick ass. lower back also has some vibes tho (also the airlock could be she got poofed from the back)

Aurora: hmmmmmmmmm see it's hard to think of Aurora's bc it's hard for me to picture Aurora in a human shape at all. I think upper chest (so same as yellow/blue diamond from the show) or maybe thigh opposite of Nastya? or maybe give HER the tounge gem? idk

3) no comment on gem types, I think what you've got for them works

PLEASE tell me about the mechanisms steven universe au. there's so many things that could mean? are the mechanisms the latest threat the crystal gems have to face (funniest option)? is it a character replacement au in which case jonny should be steven just for the pure comedy of it. or is it the mechs as gems au in which case PLEASE tell me what gemstones you think the mechanisms are

it's a Mechs as gems AU :3!!! im still not totally sure if they encounter the canon cast but you're right it would be hilarious (especially considering what we assigned Aurora). but do keep in mind while reading this that i only know SU lore through osmosis and the wiki and have never actually watched the show itself. i did get a ton of help from a friend of mine while conjuring this up tho so shoutouts to Brook my bestie. anyway here's the AU:

the gem list;

Jonny - snowflake obsidian Tim - brown zebra jasper Marius - bismuth TS - red pearl Ivy - rose sapphire Nastya - aquamarine Ashes - fire opal Raphaella - peach moonstone Brian - gold Aurora - black diamond Beta - pyrite Scuzz - onyx Carmilla - bloodstone Lyfrassir - koroit opal

YES Aurora is a diamond. because it's funny. YES she is still madly in love with Nastya. YES they fuse incredibly often. and YES Nastya is like a fucking ant compared to Aurora.

as for the story itself? all of the crew is from Homeworld. Carmilla started what was basically a mini uprising against the Diamonds that led to a SHIT ton of infighting. Carmilla travels around to spread the rebellion which is how she meets the Mechs (they all got fucked up* in battle in one way or another and she decided to take them in and care for them). eventually it turned out that Aurora, despite being a LITERAL DIAMOND, actually hated the place and helped everyone leave. now they've just kinda been floating through space and passing the time with music (originally used to keep Aurora entertained out of fear but now they’ve learned she’s actually really niceys and just do it for fun)

*i'm still debating on if the Mechs should have cracked gems or just have their gem be where their mechanism is (with the exception of Brian and TS, which will probably be a reversed case in which Brian's gem is over his heart and TS's gem is on it's throat)

but um. yeah! im gonna start designing them eventually. if u have any other questions feel free 2 ask..

Hi hi hi ya ! I'd like to request yan Devil!Player x dead grunt/spirit!reader (you decide on oneshot or hcs. Romantic or platonic is your choice too ^^)

I decided on a series of headcanons on how Devil!Player would deal with such a new object of affection. Can be taken as either romantic or platonic, but obsession is present regardless! Yandere warning! -- + The devil Player deals with many that pass through their kingdom from time to time. The realm that was once hell was assimilated into what they now consider their own personal realm. From the tips of the tall obsidian spires present on their dark castle to the soot-laden ground in the courtyard far below, their reign was supreme. They fill a role that deals with those who come into their realm. A job that involved judgment. + You see, Devil Player is not much of a ruler, but more of a overseer that rules in hell under the world of Nevada. All grunts fall into hell, but some are sent to purgatory or to the Goddess of reincarnation. Yet, the more madness that afflicts the realm of Nevada, the damning of more and more grunts grows by the day. So, as a result of this, devil Player sees so many different, yet similar, faces. Each with a toll of violence weighing over their head. Soon, the system eventually became the same, and fewer grunts were going to Goddess. Hell, Hell, Hell, Purgatory, Hell, Purgatory...now it was a rarity for Devil to ever say the word "paradise". + Until the day, a unfamiliar soul fell into their realm. Ready for judgement like all the others. Surprisingly...they were different. They had very little violence in their heart and they mostly took another life out of self defense. A choice the Devil can't fault them for, especially since the state of madness seems to be getting worse by the day. The way their soul glittered and shimmered seemed to enthrall the Devil Player. Their red crossed eyes gazing into the nervous little soul before them. They knew well enough where this little soul would go...paradise. To the realm of Reincarnation, with the Goddess. + Yet, something about them made the Devil pause. Looking at them quizzically. There was intrigue and confusion in their expression...and for the first time in history of hell, the Devil Player merely said "adjourned". Postponing their judgement and they were sent away into the castle so that the Devil can examine them more closely. Their thoughts were interrupted when another bloodied soul wondered in for another judgement, in to which, the Devil continued to work. + When the time for rest came, the Devil would stand before the shy little soul that managed to capture their attention. Holding them gently in their large clawed hand as they examine the little one. Unlike the others that were sent to paradise, the Devil found themselves fixating on this little glittering spirit. Almost like a gem would they shimmer and glow...and the Devil was captivated. + Devil Player would keep postponing their judgement as much as they could, but for reasons not even they knew. Something inside of the Devil Player just seemed to reach out to this little soul, despite them looking like all of the others. It was during this time that the Devil took notice of the large empty hall of their brimstone lair. How empty it felt. How lonely the ruler of this realm was...and how it all melted away when the little soul was around. + A warmth unlike any other would fill their body as the tiny spirit would sit in their hands. Growing less fearful and more curious as they continued to spend time together. When asked about their judgement, the Devil would say "you're a special case and I must consult what to do with you before you are passed through", they explain. Yet, their judgement and placement was already certain...the Devil just couldn't part with them. Not yet. Maybe never. + Surely the goddess of reincarnation wouldn't mind them sneaking off with...one of their cherished little souls, right? They can't go to paradise without their say so anyway. It was a perk for being a judge. One that they would extend to the fullest if it meant that they could keep this charming little spirit by their side for just a little bit longer.

~ 🔷 I love all the Yu-gi-oh! Steven Universe AU’s so much but I have noticed that everyone has placed Seto’s Gem on his back.  Its not a problem at all, in fact, it is a wonderful placement but personally I feel like the placement of a gem on someone's back should be crowned to Marik. With the whole body carving situation he had going on, Marik most definitely suits to have their gem placed on their back.  In Seto’s case I was thinking he would have his gem on his neck. In the manga, one of Gozaburo’s ways of making Seto focus on all of the work and brutal training he had to go through, he placed a shock collar on his neck to get him to work and if he did not then he would be shocked.  The Steven Universe show already had these certain items of torture (the rods)where if a gem were to even touch it they would get shocked and they would poof. So what I was thinking is this:  Seto wore a collar that worked the exact way those rods worked and when he disobeyed his diamond for god knows what reason, his diamond would activate the shock collar and he would be shocked. He would poof rarely and unfortunately he poofed once in front of Mokuba.  With all of this though, He has developed a fear of even touching such weapons or items that shock people. Mokuba is the only one who knows what Seto has gone though. Seto by the present time, his collar is gone but he covers his neck as his neck is slightly cracked and you can faintly see it from a few feet. There are slits and you can see geodes of his gem. 🔷 ~

Hi! I was reading your thoughts on your Minish ocs and thought I might weight in <3 Because Im already in love with your sweet babs.

What if Cyrus is Ivans ancestor? It could be a thing where its traditional in their family to choose more Hylian-esque names, and blond haired families often have red hair genes. It'd also add an extra connection, Cyrus being the ancestor means that your whole Minish family is the future Cyrus made, and I think thats adorable <3

When it comes to Minish age, I HC that Minish age much slower, they mature fairly quickly through childhood to an equivalent of maybe 13 years in a matter of a five years or so for survival sakes, but then their aging slows down to the point that adulthood is marked at 100-150 years old. It's common for Minish Elders to be 400-600 years old and to have witnessed a hero or two in their lifetimes. Having such long lifespans makes them excellent historians, and allows them to learn and develop extremely potent magic and skills. It tends to be a great loss when an elder sage passes away, because they had centuries to develop unique magic and skills that are nearly impossible to pass down in any way other than written form, as it takes too much time to teach their skills. Sages tend to have unique powers that only this single sage is likely to ever have.

As for Bismuth and Ivan, what if it was love at first sight, but also hate at first sight? They both secretly think the other is impossibly attractive, but hate how they could find the others flaws to be endearing. Maybe even a little traditional gender role frustration? "Why do I find this puny man so attractive, he's far too tiny to even put ores away, and hardly a good pairing for a mountain minish like me! Why is he so cute???" "She's so huge and crass, just downright rude, why do I just want to drag a step stool over and kiss her angry, beautiful, dirty face? Agh!"

Anyways, thank you for more Minish babies

Before I answer this, I do plan to at some point make a text post with some small info about my Minish Ocs. Those doodles I’ve posted are mostly canon except for the concept ones on the parents beginnings. With that out the way, din this blew me away. I didn’t think my ocs would get this much attention based on old oc posts that are not Minish or Zelda related.

Never considered Cyrus being an ancestor to Ivan. With the names though, each ones name is mostly based on something related or parallel to them. Brothers relate to the 4 elements from Minish Cap and start with the letter of the Colors. Bismuth because of Steven Universe and relation to things like gems/material, and Ivan for something forest or organic based. Now with ancestry.... unsure. My knowledge on the Zelda timeline and specific details is not solid so concrete time placement for them is iffy. Cyrus is most likely gonna remain separate from the family’s timeline. So chances of him being the ancestor of Ivan is gonna be slim. I will note none of my Minish Ocs are reincarnations or were the characters they are based on, but I have let that idea play in my head. I’ll also keep this in mind should I change something.

With your headcanon for Minish aging, I had similar thoughts because of there being a Minish realm and the Minish Elders knowledge. I haven’t finish Minish Cap or the Manga so I’m still learning about the Minish and Zelda stuff. I was thinking that time passes somewhat differently for the Minish though know that I think about it, that concept would most likely only work when they are in the Minish World beyond the doors. Them aging differently works better for both worlds, may use that. I have been giving thought to Minish culture due to playing Minish Cap and some other unfinished Minish stuff I have sketched, so I’ll keep that headcanon in mind.

PFFFT... okay will say I absolutely love your idea. If any of them had love at first sight, it would most likely be Ivan. I definitely want there to be some conflict when they first met or interacted and over time they learned from and about each other. Those quotes may become canon once each recognize their feelings towards the others. My main thought with their relationship is one of trust, loyalty, and a paring along the lines of the smart, adventurous idiot and the aggressive, strong protector.

[how's about five of those Recreation HCs?]

FIVE OF THOSE ____ HEADCANONS

1. wx really likes to organize things. their chests are sorted by commonalities between materials (ex. twigs, grass being used in a lot of things, wood and living logs are wood, gems, ruins stuff, etc.) they'll also organize things around their camp like weapon and armor placement

2. sometimes, they'll make a lot of rope or a bunch of boards with no particular plan in mind. they usually end up using those anyway, but if they have nothing else to do, they like keeping their hands busy

3. wx doesn't usually settle down to do things, but they might take a few seconds to watch bees fly around. though now with BE-33 at base, they might take a few moments to watch her

4. they secretly have some fixed clockworks down in the ruins. if they're already down there, they might sneak the friendly ones a visit!

5. wx might have brief conversations with the machines and appliances at base. it makes them feel a little less lonely

idk if youve answered this but I couldn't find it so i was wondering if the boys have canon gem placements in either the gem or diamond aus?? also these hcs (bar the hit ones ill fight him) are so cute ajdjjf

Hmm, I actually didn’t think about Diamond Gem placements. The regular, non-Diamond boys go as follows: Red and Hit’s gems are on their left hand, Skull’s is in the middle of his collarbone, and Sans’ is over the eye that lights up when he get madd. Mc’s is always over her heart, no matter the Au. 

I think, for the sake of easiness, it’s the same for the diamonds- but I don’t mind where people place the gems when they’re doing fanart/fanworks etc. If it’s easier/more aesthetically pleasing to stick the gem elsewhere that’s fine!

Little HCs of Black Canary raising half gem reader? Like, reactions to their milestones (Ex: first weapon summon, first fusion, joining s1 team). How would she respond when they ask her and the Justice League about what their parents were like. [Also, just wanted to say that I enjoy reading your works]

I hope you guys are ok with me just straight up replying to the asks like this. And thank you for reading sorry I haven’t been writing more.

Alright, so Dinah raises her best friend half gem child. With some help from Ollie and the League.

From baby to toddler is pretty normal aside from where the gem placement is some clothes might need to be altered.

Roy secretly thinks of the reader as their other brother.

When you first asked about your gem parent Dinah can’t help but tear up.

She tried to tell you but it’s too painful.

You learn not to ask her because you don’t want to see her cry.

Wonder Woman and Batman are the ones that you end up asking about your gem parent.

They tell you every story they have of her. Bruce even has some video of her fighting.

The first time you summon your weapon is when Roy was teasing you.

You were getting annoyed at him. Your gem straight to glow then you had a weapon in your hand.

Dinah main goal for training you was learning to control your powers.

She didn’t want you in the superhero life.

However, with a family of superheroes might as well join to fit in.

Your first fusion is with Roy sibling love is a powerful thing.

With your mentors down it was left up to the both of you to protect them until they got on their feet again.

You fuse when Roy catches you after the villain threw you.

You don’t have time to think about what just happened.

Your mentors watch up to see the fusion holding off the bad guys.

After the fight you unfuse. Dinah knows a little about fusion. Ollie and Roy are confused.

Dinah is just happy you and Roy are safe.

She does tell the reader to be careful with who they fuse with.

You have met Roy’s friends a hand full of times.

You are closer to Robin in age.

Dinah knows you need to make this connection if you plan on being a hero so she allows you to join the team.

That doesn’t mean she goes easy on you in training.

She might have shown you some tricks but not all of them.

However, she does allow you to one-up her a few times to impress the team.

Look at how many sketches

that will never be finished

Beside some sketches that need no explanation, some of these are for the  “Steven son of Hessonite AU”, I’m trying to come up with a plot that can be new but at the same time can incorporate the most important facts of the canon show. So if you want to see a full specific finished pic (not sketch) feel free to drop suggestions, otherwise it will be sketches till I’m satisfied enough of the plot

There’s also “Sadie daughter of Hessonite AU” but I don’t think I’ll develop this.

Then the Emeralds - I gave them names and also imagined their personality, if interested, let me know. Here you can see the designs I used for the Famerald pic. (The “Neph” is for Nephrite, pretty sure it’s Centi, I want this Emerald to look different (like this Amethyst) despite not being defective)

And Pink Smithsonite!! I saw the theories about whom Lars pretended to be and if you remember I picked some gems in an old drawing about the Jubilee. The one that I decided to keep for my (temporary) hc is Pink Smithsonite. I repeat, this is LARS’ HAIR! http://www.minerals.net/Image/5/122/Smithsonite.aspx

Emerald, who’s at the top of the hierarchy, thought she was talking to someone even more important than her… yeee 

ps sorry for any missing detail/gem/wrong placement/design etc.
