hello i've briefly returned from my long hiatus
i'm. working on stuff? if you noticed i unfollowed you it's because i'm massively narrowing down the stuff on my feed. it doesn't mean i have anything against you! im just trying to keep my social media feeds more curated. i've gotten a massive spike of anxiety even thinking about going anywhere online other than a couple of my friends' dm's and tiny servers on discord lately. but i want to be able to share my work. being able to share my work and allow my thoughts to impact other people is what gives me the greatest joy... i've just been so scared to share anything really because i gained such a panic that anything i would say would open the floodgates for harassment of any kind, no matter what i said or even what i didn't say. i've not been directly hurt by this, it's mostly just an unending fear of imagining the worst possible outcome. but i know a lot of people who have, some of which are my closest friends, and the internet isn't... as fun as it used to be.
it's taken me ages to even want to make this post at all. it's arguably the last time i will be bluntly honest about my feelings directly for the foreseeable future, because i no longer feel safe doing so with anyone other than a couple few close friends. i'm not saying this to point any fingers or try and say others are the problem, i'm simply stating my feelings to explain why i've taken the actions i have. i'm gonna be making a lot of changes to how i post things and reorganizing stuff around so it will hopefully be a lot easier for me in the future to be less frightened to even open any social media page, and in turn, i'll still be able to share my works with people who adore seeing them or who may even need to see them, depending on the content. but if i become more closed off to messages and asks and stuff, well, I apologize, but i'm not in the mental headspace to handle it right now.
i appreciate everyone who has stuck around here despite my absence. the amount of people still following me even though i've barely posted anything in ages is... astounding to me. thank you. whether or not it was intentional hoping i would come back or you simply forgot you followed me ages ago, thank you.
hopefully this change ends up being for the better for everyone.

it’s SO wild how blue zircon made a conspiracy theory against the diamonds right in front of them, right in front of her creator.
imagine saying to god’s face “YOU’RE the one who killed JESUS”

randomly selected oc rambles
Tumblr media
chrysoprase (chrys; she/her)! I basically designed her to be a comfort character for other characters. also, when i was looking up pics i noticed chrysoprase (the gem) can sometimes strongly resemble candy… (don’t eat it tho)
Tumblr media
certain shape was intended to be a nod to how zircon’s top is. intent (?) is that chrys had a crush on (blue) zircon, but i never mentioned it… or posted much of chrys’ art to tumblr for that matter
Tumblr media
chrys ref. i think i wanted to redo it and then i never did. the gem/gem placement and weapon were randomly generated.
i haven’t done anything with this character in a long time, but i’m still very fond of her…
the first huggable green bean before tuss (lol)

What if I stuck to my usual naming convention even with one-off background characters.
Yeah this is Cavalcade. She sells some beef jerky to the main cast once and never makes another appearance

Hello~ I just wanted to let you know that this is what my doodling-while-i-work sketches look like these days... 👀 I am obsessed with my beautiful blue lady 💙🥺
(ignore the colours, this was done with blue and pink highlighters lmao. they just were in hand at the time)
Not showing you my pinterest board for because it's embarrassingly full lmao. I'll make a nice moodboard for her and post it here though! Also I have been looking at couture dresses and pearls and gems to figure out her dress (because i am OBSESSED with all the layers and details you put, there's so much leeway for beautiful fabrics and ruffles and ways to connect the hood!!!), so thank you for rekindling my fashion designer side 😌✌️

I have been toying with the idea of making the moon into actual horns since we talked about it (like Maleficent?) - you mentioned opals and shell linings, and I think it would look sick if the moon-antlers/horns had that opalescence sheen to them? Maybe it could mirror the mask?
Idk, I haven't quite fleshed her out yet so that may change. She still doesn't have a name; Miss Missy is being very secretive about her life (no surprise there 🙄).
I do wanna show you this! There's this gemstone called Azurite, that has this beautiful shade of deep blue, with purples, and some greens and gold speckles and spots (seriously - look it up, it's fantastic). I like the idea of her being connected to gems and stuff, and I think this one in particular fits her vibe SO well?? So yeah.
Tumblr media
Sorry if this is kind of a long, weird ramble, but I just wanted to let you know that our Blue Lady (that's her temporary name) is being well taken care of and cherished 🌙💙✨ Hope you're doing well!!!! 🫂💙🥺
AAAAA sorry for the late(r) response I was about to go to bed and saw this. I just- OMGOMGOMGOMG my face is heating up. Jinefvijneifjvneijfcn 💜🩵💙🩵💙🩷🩷💙🩵💜🩵💖💕💓❣️💘💞💗💕💗💖💕💞💗🐟🔥💕💖🩵💞🩵💞🩵🔥💓💗💙💗❣️💗❣️🐟❣️🐟💙💓💓🔥😱❣️🔥😱💗💓💕💕❣️💕💜🔥❣️🔥🦑🔥
Tumblr media
Me staring at my phone rn.
And why she urple?? There’s so many thoughts going on in my head rn.
1. YOU DID THAT WITH HIGHLIGHTERS WHAT??? excuse me??? what In the Bob Ross???? I love the way you blended the pink and blue and the sketchiness of the lines AUGH. It’s so crunchy… good food…….. you captured her whimsical aura perfectly. The fabric for her sleeves is so nice. You drew her so pretty omg omg
2. I love malificent so much :(((( I love sleeping beauty, I love the live action malificent… OPAL MASK AND HORNS HELLO. Blue Lady is killing it over here, my god. She’s got the bling. She’s got the swag. What more could she have.
3. My grandparents are jewelers and they used to keep random geodes and gems around their house and azurite was one of them! I remember because they would try to teach me about rocks and gems and different gem cuts and I just sat there “no thoughts, head empty, I only want to look at pictures of agate and peridot”. their azurite was very very small and I’m not sure where it is anymore. My favorite gem has to be zircon though, love that stuff. I will for sure be reading more on azurite though!
4. (Psst I have a character who’s like a pomegranate goddess and I think her and Blue Lady would get along wonderfully. Her name is Punicae and you can find her og design here.)
Tumblr media
them with not accurate coloring cause i be speed drawing. They slay. Together.
I’m going to go to bed. Stay safe, take care of yourself, LOVE yourself. Tysm for this I’m crying. Love you very much and giving you all the azurite your heart could desire 💙🩵💖

the day you came, the sun ran out of light
idk what it is about this game that's making me pound out writing in a fevered haze but. another outer wilds self ship fic. here there be emotional conversations. maybe also some smooching. who's to say. also i think this is the first time i've had multiple of my s/is in one fic.
words: 2.2k
--
It was inaccurate to say Dark Bramble was ever quiet. It had…significantly less sound than somewhere like, say Giant’s Deep, that was for certain, but it was never quiet. Feldspar was part of the reason, of course, since their harmonica was usually the loudest thing in earshot. But even when they weren’t playing, they could hear other things. The distant screeches of anglerfish fighting for territory, the crackling of the fire, and, sometimes, if they listened just closely enough, the distant sparking of their ship’s remains. 
One thing they never expected to hear in their corner of Dark Bramble, though, was thrusters. Especially thrusters without the follow-up of an anglerfish immediately giving chase. It’d certainly happened to them enough times during the trip that stranded them here. They set their harmonica aside and squinted at the fog, searching for any sign that the ship was close to their camp…only for a BANG to resound from the back of the skeleton, followed by…voices?
“Stars above, are you trying to get us both killed!?”
“It was just the landing gear, I can bend it back into shape in three seconds!”
“We won’t have three seconds if every anglerfish in this…abomination against nature is after us!”
“The frequency–”
“Shut up about the frequency! You don’t think that landing was louder?” 
“It’s not about how loud it is, it’s about how unpleasant it is, first of all. Second–”
Feldspar was loath to move out of range of the gravity crystal, but they couldn’t lie that they were intrigued. The arguing voices were unmistakably familiar, and as they crept to the very edge of their camp, they could see two figures in spacesuits, floating toward the camp from a ship wedged between the skeleton’s tailbones. They were about the same height and build as each other, although one of them wore a noticeably shabbier spacesuit–Feldspar recognized it as the training spacesuit from the zero-g cave. That thing was barely spaceworthy, it didn’t even have proper boosters on the jetpack, and they already admired anyone who’d be willing to fly all the way out to Dark Bramble wearing it.
The figure in the training suit was reading their companion the riot act as the two of them floated closer. “–and you just start banging on my door, rambling about how ‘there’s no time to explain, just put this on’ and drag me out in that deathtrap Slate calls a ship–and you know how much I hate that you even climbed into that hunk of junk–but you beg me to trust you, and I do because you’re my sibling and at least if I’m with you I know what you’re getting up to, and to reward my trust you bring me to Dark Bramble of all places, the entire time flying like an absolute maniac and only by some sort of completely insane luck not ending up down some anglerfish’s gullet!”
Oh, now that voice was a sound for sore ears. Feldspar could scarcely believe it–they almost didn’t until the other figure cut in with, “Zirc, you’re blowing it out of proportion.” Stars above, Tourmaline had gotten big. They’d barely been old enough to operate a signalscope last time Feldspar had seen them, and now they were blasting off all by themself. Well, almost by themself. Seems they’d brought Zircon along for the ride. Good. There was a lot of lost time to make up with everyone on Timber Hearth, of course, but Zircon…
The pair came within range of the gravity crystal, and Feldspar stepped back a bit so it wasn’t too obvious they’d been eavesdropping. Zircon seemed to be wrapping up their rant. “I just wish you’d be a little more careful; if not for your sake, then for mine. I know you’re not deliberately reckless, but when you get like this you’re worse than–” They stopped in their tracks, seeming to notice just who they and their younger sibling were standing in front of. “Feldspar?” They froze in their tracks, their tone shifting from frustration to a combination of relief and disbelief in just that one word, before turning back toward Tourmaline. “Why didn’t you..?”
Tourmaline shrugged. “Didn’t think you’d believe me. Thought maybe you’d accuse me of playing with your feelings or something. Also, I kinda wanted it to be a surprise. But yeah. Feldspar’s still kickin’ around.”
“Kickin’ more than that,” Feldspar interjected, walking backward toward the campfire and motioning for Zircon and Tourmaline to follow. “Pull up a marshmallow stick, you two, I’ll tell you the whole story.”
“Sorry, I can’t stick around that long,” Tourmaline quickly replied, turning to leave. “I, uh, heard something really weird on my ship’s signalscope while I was navigating here and I wanna go check it out. Zirc, you wanna hang out here while I investigate? I won’t be long.”
“Tourmaline, what are you–” Zircon turned to grab their sibling’s shoulder, but Tourmaline put up a hand to stop them.
“Trust me, you’re a lot safer in this guy’s jaws,” they motioned to the roof of the anglerfish skeleton’s mouth, “than anywhere else in Dark Bramble.”
“The hatchling’s right,” Feldspar added. “No beasties will bother us here…and I’d love to catch up with you.” They winked. It wasn’t visible through the helmet, of course, but judging from the way Zircon tensed up at that last part, the message came through loud and clear.
“Fine,” Zircon relented, arms dropping to their sides. “Just…don’t do anything that’ll get you killed, please? For me?”
“If getting here didn’t kill me, nothing else will,” Tourmaline reassured, before gently motioning their head toward the campfire. “Go take a load off. I’ll be back.” They dashed off before Zircon could respond, and Feldspar heard the sound of thrusters again, fading away this time.
“Still just as subtle as they were back then, huh?” Feldspar said, settling back down to where they’d been sitting before the ship arrived, patting the ground next to them and looking at Zircon expectantly. “Crazy that they’re all grown up now.”
Zircon didn’t move. They stood where Tourmaline left them, staring at Feldspar, as if frozen in place. It put Feldspar in mind of someone watching the Quantum Moon–as if Zircon thought that, if they moved or blinked or did anything to break their focus, they’d be left standing alone in an abandoned campsite. Finally, after what felt like forever, they spoke, their voice wavering. “Everyone thought you were dead.”
“What, me? Not a chance.”
“Nobody else in the village would ever admit that, of course. Hearthian optimism at its finest. They’d say you were missing, or that you never came back, or that you’d disappeared, or they’d just awkwardly trail off after they said your name. But I thought–I knew–that you were dead.”
Feldspar stood up, approaching their old friend. “Zircon…” they murmured, unsure how to react.
“I cried, you know? When Hornfels told me they’d lost your signal? And for so long after that. It was so long before I could be alone for even an hour without thinking about you and breaking down. And having everyone else pretend that there was a chance you’d come back, that someone would find you, that one day someone would turn on their signalscope and hear you again–it just felt like they were dragging it out longer. Like instead of just letting me pull off the bandage in one go, they were making me gradually peel it away, so I felt every single cell of my skin individually separating from the adhesive, and it was agonizing.” Their voice trembled even more. “There’s so much I want to say to you that I thought I’d never get to say, and now…” they trailed off.
“Guess that makes two of us,” Feldspar responded with an awkward chuckle, attempting to lighten the mood. “Come on,” they extended a hand, “come sit by the fire and you can–”
Zircon cut them off, gripping their shoulders, and Feldspar could feel their glare through the helmet. “Some part of me wants to throttle you for being so reckless again, just like you always are, you always worried me so sick doing all those stupid dangerous stunts…the few times I thought about you and didn’t cry I was fuming, I was so angry that you’d done the one thing I always hoped you wouldn’t do and gotten yourself killed on one of your daring adventures…ugh.” They softened their grip. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t want the first thing I did when I saw you again to be berating you. I know that whatever you did to end up here wasn’t something you did on purpose. You’re too reckless for your own good, but you aren’t foolish.”
Feldspar pulled them into a hug, unable to stop themself from smiling. “All these years and you’re still such a worrywart,” they said fondly. “Can’t imagine how you’d have reacted if I’d made it back home. You’d try to have me grounded, wouldn’t you? ‘Feldspar’s not fit to fly, they went to Dark Bramble willingly! Nobody in their right mind would do that!’”
“Nobody in their right mind would come here,” Zircon replied, returning the hug and squeezing even tighter. “But I’m glad I had that particular lapse in judgment. Sorry for dumping on you like that. I’m really happy you’re okay.”
“Stars above, I missed you,” Feldspar responded. “Glad you didn’t worry yourself to death over me before I could see you again.”
“I don’t like seeing you in danger,” Zircon protested. “I know it bothers you because you have this reputation as a thrill-seeking daredevil whose last words are going to be ‘watch this’, but I only get that way because I…”
“Because you what?” Feldspar teased, pulling away from the hug but holding onto Zircon’s arms, cocking their head to the side. “Because you love me?” There was a bit of hope behind the joke. Not much hope; their half-joking flirtations had never landed back then, at least not as anything more than jokes. Still, they hoped this one would make Zircon smile, if nothing else.
It didn’t work. Zircon clenched their fists so hard their hands shook, and if they hadn’t been crying before the sound of their voice told Feldspar they definitely were now. “Because I don’t want to lose you that way. Because I don’t want you to die pointlessly just for a stupid adrenaline rush. And you know what? Yeah. Because I love you. I’ve learned that it definitely hurt so much more to know you were dead and I could never tell you how I felt, so I’m going to tell you while I still have the chance. I love you. I’m in love with you. You don’t have to love me back, but now you know. Are you happy now?”
Oh. That…was not the response Feldspar had been expecting, and they didn’t know how to react. They let go of Zircon’s arms and stepped back. “…wow. I feel like a real jerk now. You never seemed like you were actually into me back home, I…thought that would make you laugh like all my other lines did. I’m real sorry. Let’s…let’s get closer to the fire, there’s more air over there. Don’t wanna get tears all over your visor.” They reached out their hand again, and this time Zircon took it.
Neither of them spoke until they were both settled next to each other by the fire, helmets off and resting on the log behind them. Despite the tension in the air mingling with the campfire smoke, Feldspar couldn’t deny that Zircon still looked just as good as they had years ago. They’d have commented on it, but…that probably wouldn’t go well right now. Zircon finally broke the silence, calmer this time. “That was another thing I was meaning to ask you. Your ‘lines’...did you really mean those?”
It would have been easy to just say “yes” or “of course I did” or “you’re the only one I ever joked with that way, so I guess either way I was trying to tell you I liked you” or anything along those lines. That was the safe option. But…well, Feldspar was an incorrigible risk-taker with a habit of acting first and then thinking about it later. So instead, they leaned over and kissed Zircon square on the lips. When they pulled away, they did so with a cockeyed grin and a “That answer your question?”
Zircon froze again, blinking as though they were registering what had just happened. Then, once they’d processed everything, they were gripping Feldspar’s scarf like a lifeline, kissing them back so hard the two of them almost fell completely over from how far they were leaning. It was long and intense, so consuming that it was hard to hear anything else–not the fire, not the anglerfish, not anything.
Especially not jetpack thrusters or footsteps. When Zircon finally released Feldspar (who would swear they hadn’t been that dizzy since their first zero-g training), the two of them were finally able to notice the flickering shadow cast over them both. Tourmaline was back, and seemed amused by what they’d just seen. “You owe me an apology for lying to me when I was little, Zirc. You are too sweet on Feldspar.”
Feldspar couldn’t help but laugh at that. “They’ve got you there,” they told Zircon, gazing at them with a woozy smile.
For the first time since they’d shown up, Zircon finally smiled, a huffed laugh escaping their lips. “Don’t push your luck.”

Ok bsd and land of the lustrous lovers (all five of us)
I have opened the hellsite on this night to procrastinate on sleep and ramble about which gem the Bungo boys would be
So I'm not that far in the manga but saw someone a while ago post about Dazai being a Sapphire and Chuuya being a Cinnabar and it's so perfect I refuse to go against the idea. Only thing is, I like the idea of Dazai having just a tiny missing part of him over his chest where a doctor (Yosano) would've filled it with another gem, a green one, to match his bolo in the show. Also cus other metaphorical reasons that I'm too tired to explain next hc
Yosano is Rutile Rutile is Yosano but would Yosano really be a Rutile? Idk I think it fits pretty well honestly we'll go with that, also Kouyou is a Padparadscha who was Chuuya's mentor figure until she caved in her condition, Chuuya really can't have shit can he
Atsuahi I think Ghost Quartz fits him with the color palette and idk if the personality suits him but the fact that Dazai is a Sapphire makes it more interesting so we'll go with that- either Ghost or Diamond cus
I can see a sort of sskk in Bort and Dia. Bort is Akutagawa and Akutagawa is Bort frfr
Kyoka is a Neptunite I refuse to take criticism on that
EVERYONE HEAR ME OUT PLS PLS CHILL THE FUCK OUT!! Ranpo is a Phosphophylite. Fragile, bratty, green eyes, short, it just fits
Kunikida is Yellow Diamond, I know their personalities aren't that similar but both have past and current partners, both have guilt for lost loved ones, both take youngsters under their wings, both are very experienced, and idk yellow I guess (I can also see Jade for him)
Kenji is a Zircon cus look at them
Katai is an Alexandrite idk why he just is
Idk what the siblings would be and frankly if they're not in Beast font idc about them
Fukuzawa is Kongo
Gin is an Obsidian cus idfk
Sigma vaguely fits Euclase
Nikolai and Fyodor are also Ghost and Sapphire
Lucy is a Red Beryl
Jouno I guess fits Antarc sorta and Tetcchou is also a Bort
Running out of brain juice thank you and goodnight

Reasons I Refuse to believe Yellow Diamond is older than Blue:
-Without the boots and spikes, Blue is absolutely taller.
-Blue's mural has more colonies
-Blue's more old-fashioned
-Blue, like humans when we age, has a tendency to depend on nostalgia and the past, seemingly refusing to move forward. She's the one of the two who never even updated the incredibly important extraction chamber.
-Blue has more aristocrats/elites. We only see 3 aristocratic Yellow gems, two of which are game-exclusive (Emerald, Hessonite, and Demantoid).
-Yellow still believes in multiple chances and is surprisingly naive enough to send Rubies of all gems on an important retrieval mission.
-Yellow just tends to like new things and progress a whole lot more than the elder two, as would be expected of someone younger than them.
-We only see one (known) era-2 gem in Blue's court (Zircon is only 4,000)
-Blue has just a more aged look to her? White hair and eye-bags. Idk, the solid points were the first 2.
I haven't slept in 24 hours and will absolutely die on this hill. Have a recolor I did for fun to apologize for rambling.

May I perhaps request some more info about your OCs?
My OCs, mainly all dragons, live in their own world, of course, a land far far away. It's a lot of magic arcano tech so it's semi-modern, semi-high fantasy medieval. The world is still unnamed because I'm indecisive as all hell but it's a number of kingdoms all on one continent though I've been working on other continents. The dragons in my other post are 5/6 heirs of the dragons on that main continent. They're of the oldest kingdoms, more powerful and such. A lot of things are unnamed, actually, I'll be creating a full map hopefully soon!
They're all dragon shifters, meaning they have essentially two forms: A human one and a dragon one, as seen on their reference sheets. This is part of their innate magic, though they have the ability to study and learn magic if they please. All shifters have some sort of breath magic, like fire, which is unique to their species typically. If you guys are curious, I can go into their species in another post. (PLEASE my autistic brain put such genuine scientific thought into them)
They live for long periods of time, so it's common for older dragons to dabble into magic at some point in their lives, but it's a passive thing. Mages are common, just more common among elves and humans.
As for THEIR STORY
My dragons are all young adults, heirs to their throne. They sort of grow together, a group of friends their parents set up to ensure peace across the kingdoms sharing their continent. They get sent off to this boarding school in Celest and Luna's kingdom, further away from the castle that's meant to help raise heirs and prepare them to eventually take the throne. It's a high school through college type deal, so they're all young adults in the exact story.
At the boarding school, they're mentored by the high mage of the continent who tends to remain super neutral on everything. His name is Fitz and he actively took all of the heirs in to train them with everything they'll need to run the kingdoms in their parents absence.
It starts out an innocent slice of life, but political tensions are rising between some of the kingdoms (and the dragons) because Zircon's, that 6th character reference I haven't finished, parents are trying to get more land and power over the continent. This caused a rift between the friend group, too, with Zircon's parents urging him to cause problems. Eventually, they urged him to "get rid of them."
One day, he's finally brought to act and Zircon invites all of them to meet up in Fitz's study and magic lab, where they frequently group up for lectures and such. Instead of killing his friends, which he can't bring himself to do, he is able to banish them to another world.
This is where the fun bit comes in!! Essentially, my dragons must try to blend in as humans in a more modern world while also working to find other magic beings and get help figuring out their way home, avoiding being hunted down by humans (and even other non-human beings).
Aaaaand, yeah!! That's all for this ramble :3c pleaase ask more questions, I'll hopefully get art up soon, maybe try a comic? I probably won't have time but there will be frequent art of them.

Zircon can just… turn off gravity on stuff when xe wants. Xe does it to xirself involuntarily when xe gets excited, so when xe’s rambling about the new song xe’s writing or something xe just starts levitating a few feet off the ground…

Okay so. I’m going to ask all the OC questions in one big ask and I’ll specify which ask game they’re from (and you can answer with whichever OC) (don’t feel pressured to answer all of these there are a lot)
Yet Another OC Ask Game
🛏️🪨🎮🌈🥪📚🪄🎨🌊🤝🌌🪤🔪
OC Interview Questions - Nature
🏵️🌻🍂(that’s fallen leaf but it wasn’t green)🌵🌸💮
Interesting OC/Selfsona Asks
2, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 23, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40
Misc. Ask Meme
❣️🎁🤡🎨☂️🎶🖌️💝💀🧸💬
Okay, I’m going to answer with Zircon and Malachite, cause I’ve been wanting to flesh those two out ::)
🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?
Neither Zircon nor Malachite have beds, not in the traditional sense. Mal has a nice piece of seafloor she will sleep on occasionally, but Zircon just doesn’t like sleeping.
🪨 Someone gifts your OC a shiny rock. What do they do with it?
Zircon would likely give it to her roomate, not because she cares about her particularly much, but because she wouldn’t have anything better to do with it. Malachite would probably use it as decoration, depending on how big it is.
🎮 If your OC lives or would live in the modern world, would they like video games? What would be their favorite game?
Ooh, Zircon actually LOVES video games. She was a bit skeptical of them at first, but she fell in love once she started playing them. Her favorite game is a tie between Tetris and Breath of the Wild. Malachite is too big to play on any consoles, but she would love Pokémon, particularly red and blue.
🌈 Does your OC speak more than one language? If so, how many and which?
Zircon speaks gem tongue, but she rarely uses it since moving to empire city. Malachite only knows English ::/
🥪 On a scale from ‘burns water’ to '5 course menu’ how well can your OC cook?
Zircon is a pretty bad chef, all things considered. She can make basic stuff like kraft Mac and cheese, but anything beyond that is hopeless. She doesn’t really eat, anyway, so it’s fine. Malachite is too big to use a kitchen, but if she could, she’d be a pretty average cook. Meatloaf? Sure. Hand made spaghetti? Hell no.
📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?
Zircon is going down on gem law through the second era. The lecture ends up lasting about 30 minutes instead of ten. Malachite starts rambling about sea life. None of what she says is scientific, just stuff she’s observed.
🪄 Does your OC have any special powers? If so, are they normal in this OC’s universe?
Zircon can summon these sort of.. note panels, as per standard for Zircons. She uses them for all sorts of things, mostly case notes. Malachite has hydrokinesis, like Lapis, and to be honest I’m still workshopping her gem weapon 😅
🎨 Does your OC have any craft skill, as a hobby or profession? If so which?
Malachite actually ends up getting into mosaics. Being as large as she is, they only really look like anything from her pov, but she likes them. Zircon isn’t really into crafts.
🌊 Has your OC ever seen the ocean? If not, do they want to? What do they think of it?
Malachite practically lives down there! Zircon has seen the ocean, but she is… highly suspicious of it. That much water is not to be trusted.
🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who?
In Zircons case, she doesn’t really completely trust anyone she’s around. She doesn’t really trust anything new, and humans… aren’t the most familiar to her. In Malachites case, she would probably just run into the ocean and wait for the problem to go away.
🌌 If your OC has a nightmare, what’s it most likely about?
Zircon doesn’t really sleep, but if she did, it would most likely be something like embarrassing herself in front of a diamond. Mal would probably have a nightmares about unfusing, or Lapis and Jasper.
🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?
for Zircon, it’d need to be soothing she needed that instant. If she was in need of a pencil, you could lure her in with that, but if she already had one, no dice. Malachite could probably be lured in with something beautiful, but only if she wasn’t suspecting a trap.
🔪 What does your OC think how they’ll die? 
Zircon doesn’t really think about it much. If she had to say, probably in some accident that results in her being shattered. Malachite, conversely, is absolutely certain that she’s going to “die” from unfusing, even after she finds out that there’s no possibility of that happening.
🌻 [SUNFLOWER] Where would your OC get lost in the moment/beauty of the place?
Malachite is very drawn to coral reefs. They just seem so happy and full of life to her. Her little patch of ocean is just a few miles away from a small coral reef, just a short swim for her. She likes it there ::) Zircon had this very tall perch she would sometimes go in between cases back on homeworld. You could see very far from there, and she would spend most of her free-time just sitting in silence.
🍃 [FALLEN LEAF] What's the darkest period of time your OC has been through?
Malachite, definitely the time in between jailbreak and super watermelon island. Shouting. Lots of shouting. Never quiet. For Zircon, probably the time just before the movie. Her whole world has just been turned upside down, the diamonds who she’s dedicated her life too are no longer in power, her home is being (in her eyes) destroyed, so she panicked and left.
🌵 [CACTUS] How physically resilient is your OC?
Zircon is rather prone to poofing, a side effect of being (very slightly) undercooked. All era two Zircons were pulled out of the ground a tad early, and as a result aren’t very resilient. Malachite is pretty hard to poof, mostly on account of her size.
🌸 [CHERRY BLOSSOM] Does your OC believe in legends/myths?
See, homeworld doesn’t really have non-propaganda myths, so. Zircon heard earth myths and no one told her they weren’t real, so she just took them as fact. To this day she is convinced that leprechauns are real. Malachite doesn’t believe in magical creatures, per say, (except the kraken. She saw a giant squid and ran with it.) but she is superstitious. Friday the 13th and that sort of stuff.
💮 [WHITE FLOWER] Has your OC ever kissed someone? Who, when, and where?
Malachite doesn’t really have anyone to kiss, and she’s fine with that. Who needs romance? Zircon may or may not have a small crush on a rose quartz who lives a few floors down, but she would never dare consort with another gem type. She may be living away from homeworld, but she is not that far gone!
2. Do they have any scars?
Neither of them have scars, as. Y’know, they’re physically light.
7. Do they prefer crowds or being alone?
Malachite likes being alone, maybe with one other person to avoid feeling lonely. Zircon is neutral to crowds, but she likes an audience. There’s a difference, in her mind.
8. What's something that will always make them smile?
Malachite loves strudel. She doesn’t normally eat, and most of it is too small for her, but she will NEVER pass it up. Zircon loves a good mystery, preferably a book, but movies are also acceptable.
12. Have they ever had their heart broken?
Mm,, no, I don’t think so. Malachite isn’t really interested in romance, and Zircon has never pursued any of her crushes. Can’t fail if you never try!
13. Have they ever nearly died?
Malachite did sort of die, in super watermelon island, and very since has been very wary of Alexandrite. Zircon was poofed after an Emerald lost and appeal, flipped out and started throwing stuff. There was a small crack in her gem, but it was easily fixed.
15. Are they allergic to anything?
I don’t think gems can be allergic to things? I might be wrong on that one, though.
23. What do they fear the most? For Zircon, change. She wants everything to stay the same as it has always been, forever. She was not pleased with the arrival of era 3. For Malachite, it’s ironically conflict, but the only ways she knows how to deal with conflict is either escalating it or running away. Not a very fun situation.
27. Is their living space tidy or cluttered?
Zircons room is mostly organizational containers. She has one of those hanging shoe racks even though she doesn’t wear shoes, and will regularly steal things just to organize in her room, because she doesn’t really own anything that isn’t an organizer of some sort. Malachites area is… clean, but not tidy. It’s a very beautiful place, she makes sure it stays that way, but it’s not very organized.
28. How do they break bad news to someone?
Zircon is very to the point. She gets very blunt and then deals with the emotions after she said the thing. Malachite will try to delay telling the news for as long as possible, and will be very soft about it once she finally says it.
33. Do they prefer to sleep alone?
Zircon doesn’t really sleep, and if she did, she wouldn’t trust anyone to be around her while she was unconscious. Malachite doesn’t mind other people being around, as long as she trusts them. She’d rather be alone, though.
34. Do they use one blanket and one pillow, or do they sleep on nest of fabric?
Malachite sleeps curled up like a cat, no blankets or anything, considering she lives under water.
35. Would they take the chance to be immortal?
They both would, I think. Zircon wouldn’t think much of it, she’s already semi-immortal, it’s not a big deal to her. Malachite would be unsure, but would take it anyway.
36. Are they a competitive person, even for fun?
Malachite isn’t normally very competitive, but she can get worked up if the thing is important to her. Zircon is extremely competitive in an intellectual setting, and she feels a need to be the wittiest person in the room at all times.
37. Are they a good liar?
Mal is decent. She has a pretty neutral view of lying, is she thinks it’s best to lie then she will do so without guilt. Zircon hold a similar veiw of lying, but in a more self-serving way. The truth is only important to her if it’s on her side.
39. Can they swim?
Malachite is weirdly only an average swimmer, despite living underwater. She mostly crawls on the seafloor. Zircon cannot swim and has no intention to learn.
40. Do they know that they are loved?
For Mal, yes.. but she doesn’t really think she deserves it. The way she sees it, she’s only here because of another person’s end, and therefore she shouldn’t be here. Zircon doesn’t think she’s loved, but she doesn’t really care. Love has never been something she wanted.
❣️ - What are their love languages?
For Malachite, quality time. Even just someone sitting next to her makes her feel liked. For Zircon, words of affection, particularly praise.
🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general?
For Malachite, her “fusion day” is. A big sore spot. She really doesn’t like being reminded of the events that brought her here. Zircon doesn’t even know th exact date of her form day, and she doesn’t really care.
🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about?
Zircon doesn’t like her tooth gap. She doesn’t have a particular reason, other than it’s just not supposed to be there. Malachite is afraid of small closets, even though no one could reasonably trap her in one.
🎨 - What’s their favorite color?
Zircon is committed to liking green, purely cause. Y’know, she’s got a bit of a thing going on. If she wasn’t committed to that, she’d probably like fuchsia. Malachite likes very faint pink, tied with seafoam green.
☂️ - How do they feel about rain?
Zircon likes it, she’s a big fan of watching the raindrops race each other down the window. Malachite doesn’t mind it, but she prefers the way the sun shines through the water.
🎶 - What’s a song they really like?
Zircon is a fan of classical music, but she doesn’t really have a favorite song. Big fan of Bachs work, though. Malachites doesn’t really have an opinion on music. She prefers silence.
🖌️ - Do they have any hobbies?
Like I said, Malachite is into mosaics, she also likes fish-watching. Zircon is into videos games, she also enjoys jigsaw puzzles.
💝 - What gestures do they really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?
For Zircon, she likes people who are consistent. If you’ve stayed the same for the whole time she’s known you and you haven’t been a dick, especially during a time when things have been changing, she probably lies you, Mal will often go off first impressions, so if you are rude when she first meets you, you’re probably gonna have some trouble getting her to ever like you.
💀 - How do they feel about horror movies?
Zircon is one of those people who thinks the entire genre is bad with no real basis. She’s watched horror movies without knowing they’re horror movies and liked them, but then insisted they were bad once the word “horror” was muttered. Mal just doesn’t like being scared that much. She’ll watch them, she just wouldn’t chose to.
🧸 - Do they have any stuffed animals? If so, are they decorative or do they sleep with them?
Malachite does not have any stuffies. She finds them a bit weird, and they’re all too small for her anyway. You remember how I mentioned Zircon will steal things? She has a few teddy bears that she put in a laundry hamper. One of them was left on a park bench (I feel sorry for the kid who lost their bear ::( ) and the rest were shoplifted from toys’r’us.
💬 - What are some filler/buffer words they use? (Like, um, etc.)
Zircon avoids ‘conversation fluff’ as much as possible. She talks the same way in real life as she would in a courtroom. Malachite uses uh, um, and er a lot.
I FINISHED! THIS TOOK ME LITERAL HOURS! THANKS FOR THE ASK!

There's a few reasons to that actually.
Different Eras, Different Needs and Available Resources.
Elozi is heat treated.
Red Zircon is chipped and banded.
They are different Cuts.

Nb culture is sometimes just laying awake at 3 am thinking of names to replace your deadname with instead of going by your last name 24/7 end then just being like. Leaf. Stone. Alex. Slate. Specific type of stone. Different type of stone. More rocks why do I know so many rock names. Nah too feminine. Nah too masculine. Nah that’s the name of my father’s ex-wife. Hmm.

Some people give their characters reasonable backstories, and then there's me.
One's an alien that can see the future and gets anxious about it. That's not an ability the rest of their people have, it's just a them thing.
Now if you look to your left you'll see the robot wizard who previously engaged in scientific and corporate espionage and got assassinated for it, but don't worry they got better.
And this one? This one's straight up a dragon. If dragons could also shapeshift and grant wishes, but he cant do either of those things very well
And don't even get me started on my dnd character
