Anything for any peridots. Weapons or anything. I need peridot content and you're my last change

(sorry if it's a little stupid LOL)

That's alright, it's not stupid! I would just ask what kind of Peridot you're thinking of? Weapons tend to be based on the Gem's personality and personal style.

I'll do you a palette though, if you'd like- that's something I can do with just the gemstone as a prompt!

Oh also, canon Peri-wise: in the earlier days of the fandom, people were theorising that Peridot's weapon was a bomb. Honestly, I think she just doesn't have one and uses the ferrokinesis in its place, but man I do wish we had seen bomb Peri.

Really anything blue/green or teal would work but my Lapidot fusion has always been Chrysocolla- she likes TV shows and reading. She would watch sci-fi shows 'ironically' to pick apart how wrong they are and then keep watching anyway because she got invested in the storyline cJHSDJH

Her favourite hobbies are watching TV, writing a tv show she has never told anyone about ever, sculpting, and dressing up Pumpkin in funny little outfits then sending photos to Steven

what sort of gemsona would you assign me 🙈

HULLO! OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY *cracks knuckles*

***Long post warning, lots of info-dumping ahead. TL;DR answers at the bottom

I have SEVERAL ideas, so at least you have plenty of options/inspiration! I'll include both the gem itself along with any appearances that are canon to SU to give you reference. We'll start where I feel like a lot of people (myself included) start: with your birthstone(s), Ruby & Onyx!

July birthstones are traditionally Ruby, but these days most months have a 2nd stone. So you could choose traditional Ruby or the newer Onyx! (unfortunately there are no canon Onyxes in SU that I'm aware of) Rubies in-show are common soldiers used as a lighter personal guard or for quick low-level missions. They're short, coming in at around 4ft tall. Their personalities vary, but some traits we see repeatedly in the show are that Rubies get distracted easy, are often forgetful, fairly naive/easily deceived, stubborn, rowdy, goofy, a bit hot-headed & loyal to a fault! The Rubies below are all wearing similar/same Homeworld uniforms, but even so you can tell all of them apart, either by gem placement, certain accessories, variants in their outfits/hair color/skin color, or by their personalities!

Next are gems that have canon concepts/appearances that fit your vibe: Starting out strong with Sapphire!

Sapphires are what we would consider Royalty & closely resemble Princesses. They're one of Homeworld's Aristocratic Gem types, used mainly for diplomatic affairs or for their Future Vision, an ability that allows them to see the most probable outcome of a situation. As far as I know, its assumed that all Sapphires have this foresight, but it can vary, like how Padparadscha can only see what was, not what will be (though her variance is caused by being off-color, a term used to describe Gems that differ from the Mould Homeworld has for them). Sapphires are the same height as Rubies (around 4ft) & personality-wise tend to be more reserved, quiet, thoughtful, introspective & have a diplomatic way of looking at things. They tend to be more compassionate than most Gems of their status & their Future Vision helps them easily draw conclusions or make plans/decisions.

Morganite:

Not much is know about Morganite in-universe, since she never had a canon appearance beside her concepts in the art book. The little bit we do know about Morganite is that she was the Owner of the Ruby & Pearl that make Rhodonite, & her role on Homeworld is being a designer for the Diamonds' palanquins. Morganites are assumed to be high status Gems, like Sapphires & Aquamarines, on account of the Morganite above owning a Pearl & having her own personal guard (both signs of high status on Homeworld). Based on the concept art, her height would be just above that of a Ruby or Sapphire ( probably around 4'6"-5'0" ft). Fun fact: irl Morganites, Aquamarines & Emeralds are just a few of the handful of gems that are part of the Beryl family!

Speaking of, the next Gem on my list for you is: Pearls!

Pearls are considered status symbols on Homeworld. Only Gems of a high Aristocratic status own Pearls, like Morganites & Diamonds. Though it's assumed that Pearls may also be gifted to a Gem that performs exceptionally well or accomplishes great feats for the Diamonds. The Pearl will typically be customized by or for the Gem she's being made for, either mirroring her owner's appearance or matching their aesthetic in some way. This is done in the Reef, a Pearl production center owned by White Diamond. Pearls are known to entertain by either singing or dancing for other Gems, and will typically hold items for their master by storing said items in the pocket dimension inside their gemstone, as well as provide other forms of utility or assistance for their owners (like if unpaid interns were immortal). It's assumed Pearls stand at around 6'0"-6'6" feet tall & are always portrayed with a slender or lanky body type. Pearls are refined, elegant, graceful (usually), intelligent, determined, dedicated, handy & can almost easily pick up any skill/hobby. Pearls all seem to have distinct personalities, but share many of the same traits listed above.

Lapis Lazuli (one of my personal faves):

Lapis Lazulis are used as terraformers sent from planet to planet by Homeworld during early stages of colonization to rebuild planets to be ideal for Gems to inhabit. Not much is know about their societal status, but they're very powerful Gems for how small their frame is. Lazulis are shown as shorter than Pearls but taller than Rubies, so they're presumable around 5'5"-6'0" tall. Personalities vary, but the few that we've seen have consistent traits of; stubbornness, being somewhat reserved, self-assured/confident, determination, fighting spirits, no-nonsense (at least at first impression) & can be judgy, but are also whimsical & friendly once they warm up. Their main abilities are flying with water wings that they make, hydrokinesis, & the ability to make ice.

An honorable mention of this category: Moonstone

Very little is known about Moonstones- even less than we know about Morganites -as all we have to reference her is the two photos above. The one thing we do know is that Moonstones have invisibility. These Gems are smaller in stature, but approximate height is unknown. This one makes me think of you based on the irl stone more than the SU version, but its in this category since there is visual canon references.

Lastly, there are a few stones that I associate with you just based on your personality & overall vibe. When I think of stones that are "you", these also come to mind! We have;

Opal (left)! Fascinating, colorful, a unique stone that is dazzling, stands out from most other stones & gives a fantasy/otherworldly vibe. The only canon Opal is a fusion, but we've learned that in-universe there are stand-alone Gems as well as the fusions (since fusions name themselves, they're not actually related to the stand-alone Gems)

Moldavite (right)! Gets a bad rap, is actually a really nice stone! Very unique in formation & the earthy dark green reminds me of you! To me, instead of cottage-core earthy vibes, Moldavite is more witchy, forest sorceress vibes.

Moss Agate/Tree Agate (respectively). Agates in-universe are typically big buff Gems, standing between 7-9ft tall. They're typically soldiers, guards, protective escorts or sent on missions that require lots of muscle. The SU Agate body type/personality may not fit you, but the stones above remind me of you because of the earthy/foresty aesthetic!

Lastly, one that I think of when I think of Gemsonas for you is Angelite! Mostly because of the angelic, ethereal feminine vibe I get from this stone.

As promised, the TL;DR: If you were to ask my humble & professional opinion as someone who loves rocks & loves Steven Universe, my personal opinions on stones that would suit you best for a potential Gemsona (out of the 13 I listed) are; Moonstone, Pearl, Morganite, Angelite, Lapis Lazuli, or Opal.

Don't let my opinion sway you on what you want the most though! And don't let the canon designs deter you from choosing one that really speaks to you! Many people's FanGems look completely different from the canon versions. Same goes for what the Gem's job is or what their personality is like. At the end of the day, a Gemsona/Gem OC is yours to play around with, & with that you have the freedom to do whatever you want with them forever!

[foxreally]

Hi yall, im back to the steven universe fandom after some years away

And Im LOVING the AU's

White diamond steven and gone wrong au were the only ones i hadread previously. And for some time now, i've been searching for fanfics or comics where someone is gifted a Pearl.

[starspark99su]

Okay i think im ready to post on here more, i have so many ideas i need to share or my brain is gonna explode

[pyxispoison]

so uh I have a gemsona now! Yay!

She's pretty silly and wayyyy too loyal for her own good.

[gemsona-advice]

YO ‼️‼️‼️

i need a couple gems who are named after food

Hi !!!!!

Subtle or on-the-nose? If you want subtler I'd suggest citrine, prase, and garnet- named after citrus fruits, leeks, and pomegranates specifically.

On-the-nose I'd reckon uhhh... bacon opal, candy jade, strawberry quartz?

[gem-fusion-help]

Can I ask for the powers and Homeworld role of a tashmarine?

Well, given how unbelievably long it's been since this ask was sent in, I doubt you need or want this answer anymore, Anon. However, I remembered this blog exists, and kind of miss it, so I will answer old asks for my own peace of mind.

Powers for Tashmarine:

• Water related abilities - The name Tashmarine comes from 'Tash' from 'Tashkent' where the stone was discovered, and 'marine' meaning, well, ocean or water. Maybe something like purifying water, controlling bubbles, turning their form into water, or weather related powers could work.

•Blood manipulation - some believe that Diopside, the family of stones Tashmarine is part of, helps with blood health. However, this power may not make much sense to you as gems have no blood. You could perhaps stretch this concept a little and give your Tashmarine abilities such as;

•Possession or controlling other's bodies,

•Energy control, be it in all livings things or just gems. If they were strong enough, maybe they could knock out a being instantly, or revert a gem's form to a smaller size.

As for Homeworld roles, if we take into consideration the possible abilities above:

•Overseeing the plans for terraforming of planets, or assuring they are safe to be colonised.

•If you want the water purification ability, they could make sure places like Sea Spires and Reefs are safe from water damage.

•Gem surgeon - this is a bit of a silly one, but I like it. As I imagine gems with profound healing abilities might not always be easy to come by, especially for serious injuries, perhaps a Tashmarine could work on temporary fixes for injuries like cracks or chips.

•Lastly, for the possession abilities, I feel like an interrogator would be a very fun role. They could force gems to talk, or even from a dramatic story perspective, you could have a Tashmarine who possessed a gem so they could commit a crime themselves, unnoticed.

Again, I know you probably are no longer in need of this information, however when the Rock Autism(tm) strikes, I have to feed it somehow.

Help with describing and naming this style

Like the title suggests, I need help with describing this style and naming it for my gemsona OCs. It looks fantasy gothic but I have no idea on how to describe it. Please, help. I would appreciate it immensely and gladly for the help. 🥺🙏

[squirreltastic]

Stimboard for Appie, my navy apple Jasper gemsona!

For me you went from the Hanamusa artist to the Idwtbamg artist overnight. I am not complaining but the change was so sudden.

hahaha i've done many a pivot in my online career. i was the mlp next gen girl for a while, then the gemsona guy, then the pokemon next gen person, then the team rocket/hanamusa artist for a long time etc.

if i can help it, i try to have one thing i put all my love and attention into. i find it overwhelming to do too many things. but i find it pays off because i can then have a fully realized idea that's well thought out and more than just sporadic ideas here and there. it's consistent and i think people like that (but then it is a shock when i suddenly start posting completely different stuff out of nowhere haha)

Tear species guide Masterpost.2

(Disclaimer: Tear is not an actual gemstone, this is a fan-made open species based on Steven Universe. They are not related to the volcanic glass called Pele's Tears)

Tears are an elite nobility Gems. Primarily, they use their future vision to assure the process of Gem creation. Their main role in Homeworld is to organize and localize possible colonies for the creation of a Kindergarten.

In addition to their abilities as prophets, they can levitate. They have the power of creating crystals for their self defense such as weapons, armor and flight. However, Tears' future vision only applies to the events of a star/planet/moon and their condition.

Their main power is Cosmic Energy Manipulation, wich consists of being capable to create spacial dust storms. It can cause light distortions, that can heavilly harm a Gem's physical form (as Gems are made of light). This element is only able to be used on space or space-like atmospheres.

Because of their high rank status, Tears tend to have guards assigned to ensure their safety, since they were not made for combat. The most common types of guards can vary (Rubies, Quartzes, Topazes, other type of soldier/guard gem...)

They are a tall, skinny gem that generally have tear-like pattern limited to their face. However, there's a rarer variety of Tear that can have marking/patterns around their body. Tears have hair tend to have a shadow that resembles night star.

Their gemstones are more commonly faceted, resembling a star with 4 points. Its shape and pattern variates, and they can have inclusions such as being rutilated, a cat's eye, etcètera. A rarer variety of their gemstone is being a plain cabochon while having a variety of patterns.

Tears creation process involves White Diamond and they cannot be created like other gems, wich is why Tears are a highly rare Gem.

Off Colours Tears

Overcooked Tears are half the size of an standard Tear. Thicker Tears are the same size of a Tear and tend to have plump lips. They are both perfectly able to function in Homeworld and while being considered defective. Small Tears are unable to do their Gem tasks properly and are chased as an off colour.

(The more "masculine" base is just there in case someone wanted to go for another vibe)

Various Tear Examples

(Diamond-Spotted Tear, Wine Tear, Peach Tear, Sand Tear, Seafoam Tear, Bi-colour Tear, Mystic Swamp Tear, Serbert Tear and Rosewater Tear)

(TO ADD, CORRUPTION AND UNCORRUPTED FORM. OOPS!)

Frequent Questions

•Can I make Tear adopts/customs/gifts?

As long as you credit me, yeah! I don't mind ^^

•I'm unsure about my Tear, could you help me figure out?

Yeah! I'll even draw them free of charge if that helps, absolutely!

•Can I have one as a main gemsona?

Yes. Express yourself.

Important note:

I made this as a very general guide of "What I would do". They are an open species, and anyone is welcome to pick up something and go "I don't like this, I'm doing it my way". That includes palettes, forms, shapes and powers.

Per example, my original guide did not include a thick tear and they ended up being canon to me. A bunch of this (updated) guide is inspired by others' takes of things that I just didn't see coming and that inspired me to make it "official".

My priority is for others to expand my concept. I do not care if someone does something a way I don't like, because then there's no point of making them an open species. Literally go have fun.

(May add more questions/update in the future)
