Pearl while sparring with Gem during the crossover accidentally rips the sunflower dress. Gem works her hardest to help fix it

thank you for your hard work solider

The sparring is nothing new. Really! They're girlfriends, it's all in good fun. They won't hurt each other too badly, the wooden swords are to make sure of that, and they'll respawn if they take too much damage. It's friendly and fun and Gem wants some of the death mementos that she'll drop, so Pearl agrees to spare.

The ground is even, the bed is set, their swords are drawn.

And Gem attacks first. It's clumsy, she isn't used to a sword in this world, Gem has admitted as such. Part of the reason for the spar, actually. Pearl joked about her losing her ability and Gem had taken it as a challenge.

And now she has Gem practically beating her to death with a wooden sword. It's fun! Really! She fights back and she laughs and it's great. The steps for both of them aren't the best, they aren't used to fighting in their dresses, and it's all great, until…

Gem jumps at her, and she doesn't back away fast enough. She jerks back but it isn't good enough, Gem lands on her new dress that's a gift from the void without her noticing but she still jerks back away further from Gem and then.

RIIIIP.

The noise is loud and grating and also so very awful. It breaks her heart more than anything she'd ever thought possible, and when Gem jumps back out of fear, Pearl can see the damage done.

"Oh no," Pearl moans in despair, and Gem is by her side again in an instance. Their swords are forgotten as they inspect the damage, and Pearl feels tears in her eyes. She didn't know something like this could rip like that.

"I'm so sorry!" Gem exclaims, as she looks at the tear along the fabric. Pearl isn't too sure what she's looking at, in all honesty. It's threads torn apart and fabric flaps in the wind and oh, her heart breaks for the pretty dress.

"Shoot," Pearl mumbles, kneeling down as best she can without possibly risking tearing it more. Her fingers lightly pick at the edges of the fabric, and she whines in the back of her throat as the damage gets to her. She can't fix this! She doesn't know how! "What am I gonna do…"

"It looks like it's just a torn seam," Gem says, without much fanfare, and when she looks up at Gem inquisitively, Gem's cheeks color as she looks away. "What? I do things without you sometimes…"

"I didn't say you don't," Pearl says in response, and Gem purses her lips as if she wants to argue, but turns her attention back to the dress.

"Anyway. It's not bad. I can fix it."

"You can?" And it's more incredulous than she means it to be, but it makes Gem scoff all the same.

"Yes! How do you think I got this dress? I made it myself, thank you." Pearl doesn't really have time to consider the implications of what that means too much, before Gem is pulling her to her feet. "C'mon. Let's get you inside and I'll get you fixed up."

"I don't have anything to wear," she protests, because she at least knows it's easier to not be wearing the clothes you're fixing up, so it probably means the same for Gem fixing her dress. Gem's cheeks shift a few shades darker and she tilts head down, determined as she leads her inside.

"I do. C'mon."

"No offense Gem, but I don't think I can fit in any of your clothes…"

"No! They're not mine. I… Ya know those overalls and hoodie ya lost last month?"

"Yeah…? What about them?" When she doesn't get an immediate reply, she spends the walk thinking, before she yelps, "Gem! Did you steal my clothes!"

"You're my girlfriend! They're soft and they smell like you, and if you wear them again they'll smell more like you again."

"That's not the point!"

"Do you want me to fix your dress or not?!" She hesitates, then relents, puffing out her cheeks as she pouts at Gem.

"Fine… But you can't go stealing my clothes anymore, Gem! I need those!"

"No promises."

[overworkedblorbobattle]

As an Epithet fan, it’s a weird feeling seeing occasional people in the replies and tags stuff go like “Oh, Molly doesn’t look overworked or anxious or anything”, when that’s like basically her whole thing in the series.

Like, no, this girlie had to be literally kidnapped to escape her situation. She spends half the week working retail and half the week in school, with little to no breaks. She spent her birthday doing literally nothing with her friends because she was too tired to do anything else. She canonically runs on five hours of sleep and has to skip eating on some days because she doesn’t have the time to cook for herself. She has to do her family’s finances (I guess making her a Miss Taxpayer herself) because her manchild father would fill the house with novelty junk if he was left in charge. All at the age of 12, with the added pressure of having to deal with misophonia in a retail environment.

I guess this counts as propaganda I think?

"But what's so cool about a butter knife?"

Well well well, it's no ordinary butter knife. This one in particular is being held by Mr. VIP (Kenji). ENOUGH SAID.

"I don't watch JWCC, how will I know this is the best choice?"

Look into my eyes. O_O Would I lie to you?? No, I wouldn't. Now vote in favor of butter knife!!

"You're losing by a large margin how–"

BELIEVE. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE.

[desultory-novice]

Hmm? ...AH! 

Ahaha... I, uh, somehow missed the news that ties don’t last for the final round. (All this drawing propaganda for nothing...) Ahh... awkward...

I guess I’ll go ahead and post my hype piece for what I thought was going to be Marx & Magolor vs Meta Knight poll here, since that’s no longer happening! (I thought together, they stood a real chance of defeating bias-wrecker Meta...)

<Long pic below>

...Whelp, good luck, Marx. You’re going to need it against those two.

[nashdoesstuff]

First poll [Shattered v. OSD] one-shots!

i think i'm having too much fun with this poll haha

feel free to draw this out! i'm using the idea of the arena by @/sunlit-witch <3

first up is some angst, so might wanna breathe in for a bit.

[also i don't know if this is still canon or not but i messed w/ this for this short writing piece]

Nightmare panted, though his excitement spiked when he felt Dream's aura. Excitement, relief, fear, whatever it was, it was overpowering. His boys were so irresponsible sometimes, sending Dream to this stupid "clout" thing. He shook his head, irritated. Killer was in for it whenever he returned.

He stomped around, seeking life. This place seemed like an arena of sorts, but there weren't people here. Nobody was here. He followed Dream's aura, though it seemed silent and… negative? With this sense, he rushed further, nearly running. Where was Dream?! And why did he have this sense? Was he possibly in danger?

Quickly, he scurried to where the sensing was the strongest. Opening the door, his soul sunk.

There was a tall version of Dream that looked similar to himself towering over the younger Dream. He wore a cloak and a golden belt. He appeared to have crack-like lines appearing on his face and right arm, as did Dream's eyesockets. He noticed two bars hovering above the stadium, with "Shattered!Dream" and "OSD!Dream" on them. Nightmare, flamed, slammed the door shut, gaining the darker Dream's attention.

"Ah. How lovely to meet another Nightmare."

"I think you should hand him over. NOW." Nightmare said demandingly, setting foot inside the large room.

"Ouch, I'm hurt~ though, I'm only doing what I'm supposed to. I'm not hurting him, really. You should've seen the other guy before this. He was a stubborn and weak little guy. Such a disgrace to my name."

"I have no idea who you are, but you are to give me Dream back."

The darker Dream smiled and Dream turned to Nightmare's direction.

"Nighty?" Dream said, uncertainty in his voice.

"Dream, I'm coming for you. I promise, we'll go home and the boys will be waiting for you and you can help Rory cook, alright?-"

"Brother… why'd you lie to me?"

Nightmare flinched and stepped back.

"Dream, I- I'm afraid I don't follow-"

"This other me was telling me about what you did. K-Killed everyone in our village. Is it true? Please tell me it's not true. Well, I can't choose anymore… y-you already lied to me once…"

"Dream, he's manipulating you, you need to-"

"Mani-pui-lating?" He shuffled in his boots. "Whatever that means, I don't think that's it… all of my friends, Crossy, Rory, Kiki, Dusty… Roro? They- they're not good people, right? They've killed like you have… for fun. Why?"

Nightmare shook his head, panick seizing through his bones.

"Dream. Listen to me. I'm your brother, Nighty."

"The only thing you wanted to do was make me weaker so you could- could… like yourself more, right?"

Nightmare couldn't move. Every bone in his body stiffened. He clutched the arena's barrier, gripping it as tightly as he could. He saw Dream's face crack more, and the smile on who appeared to be Shattered Dream grow.

"Pity. I figured a family reunion would make him happier."

"YOU CAUSED THIS, YOU LITTLE BRAT." Nightmare retorted, tears threatening to fall.

Shattered giggled.

"And so I thought you weren't attached. Weren't attached to your poor younger brother."

"H-He wasn't?" Dream mumbled, already crying.

"No, young one. He isn't." Shattered crouched down and lifted Dream's chin with a tendril, a sinister expression on his face. Nightmare's rage caused the barrier to shatter as he charged a tentacle towards the neck of the other Dream. The magical border, however, stood up and caused the tendril's effort to be placed in vain. He groaned, frustrated.

"YOU BASTARD! GET OFF OF HIM-"

"Nighty… I- I don't want to let go like this. Just tell me the truth."

Nightmare sighed, refusing to accept defeat.

This cycle went on for hours.

Now have wholesome content ^^

Shattered smiled as the child version of himself Dream played with his tentacle. He seemed really sweet, and he couldn't bring himself to hurt him like he did with that butterfly freak from the other arena.

"My brother Nighty has these. Does that mean when I grow up, I'll eat the apple and grow them too? Nighty says I'm not cool enough to have them though..."

"Hey. You want my opinion, buddy?"

Dream glared up, a beaming expression on his face.

"I think you're cool. Nighty sounds a bit mean. Saying you aren't cool enough to have these? Tut tut..."

"He's not mean! He just- I just don't think he can understand that I can handle it. I can be cool and strong like him!" Dream pouted, hugging the tentacle. "I don't think I would ever let go of the squishy tentacle if I had it!"

Shattered couldn't help but chuckle at his words.

"Don't get your hopes up, kiddo. If he's this strict with you, I don't know if you'll ever get them. Though, maybe I could sneak you out of here and show you a few tricks after this is over? Y'know, after we end up getting out?"

Dream gasped, clapping his hands together in excitement.

"Yes! Yes, I'd love that!" He exclaimed, a large grin on his face. "I'd have to deal with Nighty's talking, but yeah!"

Shattered tugged Dream's collar playfully, his eye light gleaming.

"Alright, it's settled then."

these are rushed and ugly but i felt like making them anyway

i think this is becoming a hyperfixation

whoopsie

slaps more tourettic Lance propaganda down in front of you

Lance notices something is off early on but he's practically the poster boy for ADHD so he figures it's just that

as a kid his tics are pretty mundane. snapping, tapping, popping his knuckles, stuff like that

his siblings get annoyed with it sometimes, and they don't really get it when he says he feels like he has to

as he gets older they get more complex, but hes largely able to mask and keep things under control

when the paladins find the Blue Lion and go to space, his tics really ramp up and he's got no clue what is happening

he starts having really bad attacks after battles when he's stressed and the adrenaline has worn off

after suffering through it alone for a long while he finally tells Shiro because. how do you explain human brainweirdness to aliens.

and Shiro is like "no yeah dude you have a tic disorder"

Lance has only ever seen Tourette's as "person shouting at inconvenient times" so at first he's all. tic disorder? me? FAKE NEWS.

but then he, yknow, actually thinks about it and goes back to Shiro and is like. heyyy man how do you know 👀

turns out Shiro knows because. he also experiences tics (you can pry Shiro and his functional tics from my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!!)

lance is super. whoagh. because whaaaaat his role model has tics? the guy he's looked up to for all these years is like him?

he cries a lil bit but it's ok Shiro won't tell anyone

after the war he uses crutches because he kinda messes up his legs and his tics don't exactly help with that

Lance and Keith trade stims and tics like Pokémon cards

they purposely remove themselves from each other's premises if things start ramping up because it creates a feedback loop and it. isn't exactly fun after a while.

Some Secret Life Gempearl for the soul?

“Pearl! Pearl!” Gem called out running towards the mounders base. It was break time between sessions and Gem desperately needed to talk to Pearl.

“Gem? What are you doing over here? You should be resting before next session! Especially with how busy today was!” Gem shuffled her feet and looked away.

“That’s actually what I wanted to talk about…” Gem bit her lip before rushing out “I’m so sorry about killing you today, I was boogie and it was my task and I really didn’t want to-“ and before she could continue her anxious ramble Pearl cut her off “Gem, Sweetheart, *Breathe*” Gem takes a deep breath and Pearl hugs her, taking special care to avoid her antlers. “I know you didn’t want to Gem, it’s just apart of the game. You have nothing to be sorry about”

Gem gives a small nod in the crook of Pearl’s neck and mumbles “That’s all I wanted to say. I guess- I guess I’ll go now…” pulling away hesitantly. “You’re aloud to stay if you want, you know”

Gem’s cute deer ears perk up, “Really? But Wouldn’t Bdubs try to kick me out?” Pearl scoffs “You say that as if Bdubs isn’t sneaking off to spend time with Etho and Cleo. Besides, If I want to have my girlfriend over, I can.” Gem’s ears twitch “yes please then” Pearl chuckles, wrapping her arm around Gem’s waist and guiding her into the base “Cmon then sweetheart, we should get some sleep” Gem nods sleepy, “Love you”

we can tie the two twins, have them continue fighting together as a team. they would be UNSTOPPABLE. and it would prevent either side from losing. less tragedy!

and besides, these kids have had it rough.

the poll is over, but lucas has 0.2% more of the votes. hopefully this counts as a tie cuz oh my god :')))

remember, every vote counts!!!!

SHABBAT QUEEN PIGGY AS SHE DESERVES AISHET CHAIAL באי כלה!!!!

[sapphicwhimsy]

Hi!!! I hope your fic propos haven't closed yet ^^; If they're still open, may I have some Pearlgem "confession" trope or "feeling realisation/oh oh" trope? Please and thank you!! YURI FOREVER!!!!

HECK YEAH, I GOTCHA!! ill be doing fic propaganda until gempearl is out of the game!

Gem wanted her head.

A respawn memento the server was programmed to drop, not like, her actual head. She was collecting everyone's, a sign of how her prowess with sparring had improved. Just a simple spar, one that was guaranteed to be fun and exciting, just by the very nature of sparring with Gem, so Pearl had agreed.

Gem had already set up a clear and flat area to fight in, with the bed set up to allow them to respawn once they had taken enough damage. So when she had tossed her a newly crafted sword, Pearl had no further thoughts about what they were doing. She loved spending time with Gem, and sure they were beating each other with what was basically a long stick, but it was fun!

Dodging, ducking under the sword, doing her best to swing back and knock Gem off balance. The jokes filled the air, along with their laughter. Swords hit together, impractical in an actual fight, but much more fun with the wooden swords they were using. They fought, all in good fun, even while dealing blows to each other. Hitting hard, because it wasn't meant to be taking things slow. It was as real as any fight between them might be. It was in good fun, but it was also a fight to the first respawn.

And, when Pearl's stepped back wrong and stumbled as Gem lunged at her, it was no surprise she fell back. She grunted with the effort of hitting the ground, before Gem stepped over her and held her sword to her throat.

And oh, she was…

She was a sight to behold. Cheeks red with effort, chest heaving as she caught her breath. Hair sticking out from her messy braids, sweat dotting her brow. Gem was smiling down at her like she'd just won the best prize in the world, blocking the sun and allowing it to frame her perfectly. She was beautiful.

Pearl had never realized it before, her heart in her throat as she tried to catch her own breath. She was so pretty.

Had she always been that pretty? How had Pearl never noticed it before? There were a million feelings bubbling in her chest at the thought, a million things she had never thought about before, and they swirled in her head.

Did she… Like Gem? Like that?

"Gotcha!" Gem giggled, breaking her from the brief moment of thoughts she had, and Pearl's breath was stolen away as she thrust the sword forward. Warmth filled her body as the respawn mechanic activated, and she jerked out of the nearest bed to her feet, finding her own cheeks still burned as Gem picked up the proxy for her discarded skull. "Yes! I got it!"

"That you did," Pearl said, rubbing her cheeks as if it would make the blush hanging there vanish. She looked at Gem, at how delighted she was at holding the respawn memento, and found the blush only getting stronger. Thankfully, Gem slipped her discarded head on a moment later, and it allowed Pearl the chance to look away, because seeing herself looking back was enough to break her trance. "Best two out of three?"

"You wanna go again?" Gem asked, tossing Pearl the sword, and Pearl nodded as she picked it up and felt it weighing in her hands.

"I do! I can't just let ya win with only one go!"

"Alright!" Gem said, and jumped forward, ready for another go. She didn't seem to mind that she was wearing Pearl's head, and Pearl didn't comment on it. She wanted the chance to win, and maybe not seeing how beautiful Gem was if she had her pinned would allow her that very chance.

[overworkedblorbobattle]

gregor propaganda: the poor guy was turned into a bug and he *didnt even care*. all he could think about was getting to work and not disapointing his family. losing your entire human body was less important then being good enough, as a provider, as a worker. he tried his best and everyone still abandoned him.

vote!!! gregor!! we are so close!!
