💙Davekat can be gay alien rock too❤️

I’m noticing I like to put Dave in blue a lot.

——-[BACKGROUND STORY STUFF]——-

In this gemstuck, Dave is a rare sapphire that has grown bored of his fate and future.

(He does not need to be accompanied by guards as he is skilled enough with a sword.)

Lying about his vision to Green Diamond, he claims he will be shattered due to complications of the rebels. Instead, he disappears during the fighting, running into Rose Quartz herself (John as Pink Diamond and June as Rose) and she clearly sees he is deserting, decides to let him leave.

Dave is free from the diamonds, and for a short period, he is free to do whatever he wants. The issue is that everything is just as obvious as before. That was the case until he ran into a off colored Ruby who was hiding on earth after hitching a ride in a colonial ship thanks to the help of his friends. Karkat was constantly hiding his gem, and pretending to be some sort of Quartz. He was unpredictable. He was loud and uncaring of Dave’s rank. And things like this added up and they fell in love.

Is the gemcyt au dead? :(

my interests come-and-go in cycles, buddy :c i've just kinda moved on after enough time like all the stuff i dip into.

hell, i think i've totaled like 60+ gemcyt-related designs and pieces over the course of my venture with it. eventually you just run out of stuff you wanna do with the idea, ya'know? it might come back in another wave at some point, but for me i'm very satisfied with the art and designs i contributed to it.

[geodebiome]

okay. whatever. GEMSTUCK BE UPON YE. this is just a concept and i cant promise im happy with the color palette. shes an aragonite! which is a very common simple ass mineral. yeah im sticking with the blood caste ranking in terms of how fancy the gem types are

aragonite is (forgot how already -_-) related to fossils! so through narrative shenanigans i want her very first form to be a plain aragonite, but her allegory-for-godtiering form has fossilized remains in it :)

not sure if the aragonite -> fossil metamorphosis is scientifically backed, but honestly just the association being there is good enough for me

[bugtoast]

i was looking at gemstuck by @chrisrin and i started thinking about what the dancestors would be like in that au and how Meenah and Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz's backstories are kinda similar when you think about it

anyways off i go to try and doodle fusions

trolls in gemstuck!

[gem-tavvy]

wanted to share my gemstuck design for gamzee - purple topaz!

[freshpyrope]

redrew my old gemstuck designs ^^

[angel---eater]

Two of them who exist at the same time because I can. They're gems who work with tech, including interstellar spaceships. They're both nonbinary but present wildly differently. Earth Roxy fell in love with the feeling of mascness, while Homeworld Roxy is more at home being femme, especially because it lets her look more like A!Rose (Lavender Diamond).

i got sidetracked real hard today

anyway, guess im doing gemstuck with some friends now

[mint-flavoredd]

💫Take some SU movie Gemstuck in these trying times🍉

I’ve been holding onto these for a bit, but I wanted to finish some more drawings that reveal ✨more✨

[chrisrin]

Hiii I want to know something about the mcyt su au! The way you assign gems to each person, does their personality influence the choice?? Or are you just going for the visual vibes of he gemstone? How do you choose

honestly it depends! some designs like bdubs was definitely more based on visuals, nephrites are green and have that one big eye so i was like, omg, that's very bdubs so i went with that for his gem.

others i feel are more personality-based, like scar as a spinel. or role-wise with mumbo as a peridot. it honestly depends on what grabs me more.

but the most important thing for me though is that for base designs (non-fusions) i try as much as i can to stick to ONLY canon designs/gems we've seen in the show, this is so i can pretty much directly pull color palettes from those characters and keep it as loyal-looking to the show as possible. it makes them more recognizable as SU designs in my mind, i did this with both gemcyt and gemstuck with only a couple exceptions (nepeta as a cat's eye, docm as bloodstone, etc.) i think a part of the fun challenge is trying to conform with these baseline designs while also trying to make the character recognizable. it's why some troll gemstuck designs have horns, and others don't. it depends on if i feel it was vital for their design aspects as most gems (unless corrupted) don't have horns.

with fusions i'm a lot more free-form with it, but for base designs i like to have at least 1 solid reference to compare the design to so i can try to match the show as close as possible. obviously this means i'm limited on what gems i can make people, and sometimes that puts me in a tricky spot because i also dislike doing too many repeats of the same gem, exceptions in both gemstuck/gemcyt being that i have multiple pearls (kanaya/eridan/jane in gemstuck, joel/pearl in gemcyt)

because let's be honest if we did this only on gem societal roles, the majority of the hermits would be either peridots as redstoners or bismuths/lapis lazulis as builders

so as far as choosing gems, that's sorta my mindset going into it! it's a mix of things but there's restrictions i give myself and i try to work within those when i can! :D

[chimera-klown]

I have been inspired by @chrisrin gemstuck AU, it's so beautifully designed and the ideas for the story as a whole is just so excellent and thoughtful.

I may have a bias in the lack of cherubs, as they are my favorite characters, so I made my own designs of them for this AU, even if they aren't canon, it was still fun to add. :D

I tried my best to find gems that fit both their colors and personality. (I got so lucky with serpentine, it's green and snake-theme, so perfect for Calliope. Also, ruby for Caliborn cause red and angry, not as clever but it still works.)

While I'm not completely satisfied with their outfits (might change later), for the most part I accomplished what I wanted.

I want you all to know I love this AU and can't wait to see more!

Callie/Serpentine - a rare/unique gem who was abandoned under mysterious circumstances. She is reluctantly traveling with a malformed ruby as he won't leave her alone and she's already lost, (later gets corrupted on accident).

Caliborn/Ruby - a spiteful runaway ruby who rejected his role in the empire rather violently, (was cracked when escaping). He now follows a serpentine with unknown intent and unkind words, refusing to leave her side.

Heliotrope - a half corrupted fusion of Callie/Serpentine + Caliborn/Ruby, who were forced to fuse in order to survive a fight. However, both of them are now stuck like this, otherwise they risk putting too much stress on their gems and shattering themselves the moment they unfuse.

[bugtoast]

No clue if this has been done in the gemstuck au yet but uh…

I feel like they’d have a malachite + sardonyx type personality (if they didn’t immediately unfuse)

Like?? Suuuuper unstable and unhealthy like malachite but with all the fourth wall breaking and fun performer jazz of sardonyx

(yet again, Gemstuck is by @chrisrin! btw HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THE DESIGNS SO GOOD WHAT??? THIS IS SO HARD???)

[galacticguppy]

Gemstuck brainrot HAS taken over!!

I made a beta kids fusion design based on the gemstuck designs of @chrisrin and the amazing ideas of several people from the gemstuck discord server! they were an absolute blast to make, I'm having so much fun with this au
