"Two whole months of free laundry in exchange for two weeks of being my fake boyfriend. Deal?” Keith hesitated for a moment. Was this really worth it? Hardly. Lance was an asshole, and he wasn’t sure what fake dating would entail. But, free laundry was free laundry, right? “Alright, it’s a deal.”
Or: Lance makes the mistake of telling his Mom he has a boyfriend coming home with him for Christmas. Keith makes the mistake of agreeing to be Lance's 'fake boyfriend'.
buck: no excuses buddy
Here’s the fusion for Anyolite (BB) & Amber (Terra): Csarite :)
They’re actually fairly reserved & grounded in terms of their personality. (lol. grounded. terra joke) Anyolite’s general good attitude and love for Amber about life balances out Amber’s own lack of self esteem/self worth, & so Csarite usually spends time being pretty relaxed.
They actually enjoy their alone time, surprisingly. They like to just sit & think about things (which sometimes prompts them to spend a little quiet time with Atlantasite, if they’re around), but they can be prone to quick outbursts of energy towards things they enjoy.
Unfortunately, though Anyolite & Amber balance each other out & trust each other a good amount of the time, if there’s even a slight hiccup in Csarite’s thought processes (usually on Amber’s end), they’ll be shaken out of fusion fairly easily.
Csarite is used more as a comforting gesture rather than a weapon most of the time on Amber’s behalf. Csarite’s chill attitude also comes from knowing this, and that they won’t be around for more than an hour or two. So they figure they might as well just relax & enjoy being around while they can.
And here’s Titans East in the TTGems AU…finally. :P
Special thanks goes out to @wigglytoughazshit who gave me some good suggestions for the gems I chose for these guys~ I ended up choosing different ones for Speedy & Mas y Menos, but they’re minor alterations.
Mas y Menos are just two Opalites who happen to see one another as the ‘other half’ of each other in a non-romantic way. They gain their superspeed power by fusing into one big Opalite. :3
Had to make Aqualad a Lapis Lazuli. I had to. Water based powers & blue…I really couldn’t ignore that, & having @wigglytoughazshit suggest it as well only solidified the decision.
Not much to say for Bumblebee’s gem choice, but it really does suit her if you look up Topaz’s properties. And for Speedy, I tried to find a gem that was close to the gem type that I chose for Robin/Bloodstone, and ended up with Carnelian. :)
lance gets his hands on washable space markers and starts leaving little notes on keith’s helmet
they start off as jokes or silly, lighthearted insults or funny faces and drawings, but then they slowly turn into soft, loving messages like “be safe out there” or “come back for me” and a hundred “i love yous” scrawled on every inch of free space
Here’s the fusion for Bloodstone (Robin) & Sodalite (Cyborg): Flourite
As someone previously suggested, Flourite is very much like Garnet in his usual demeanor, but is prone to being a little more hotheaded at times. He’s extremely focused when it comes to missions (tunnel visioning on the problem if it’s ongoing). Like Garnet, punching things is usually his go-to problem solver, but he will simmer down and get more stealthy if a fight turns too dangerous.
If he decides to unload & tell anybody about how he’s feeling (usually Pietersite), it’s obvious he has some self-worth issues and feels like a failure if he doesn’t do his absolute best for the team. Big emotionally constipated leader bby, he is~
Blue Diamond: Able to remember the fusion that was formed by a Ruby and a Sapphire during an otherwise uneventful court meeting over five thousand years ago
Yellow Diamond: Can’t be bothered to remember a Gem who facetimed her and insulted her to her face like at most a couple months ago
This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
Hey folks! This one was the recent winner of this WOF poll, so here’s my concept art that headcannons trading in Pyrrhia.
Read below cut for close-ups of the individual booths + the thought process / headcannons behind the design choices: 👇
Skywings: The Sky Kingdom’s mountain ranges provide plenty of pasture for raising sheep. As such, Skywing shepherds benefit from traveling to sell their wool, dyes, fabric, and woven tapestries. Many of these merchant tables also include herbs grown exclusively in the mountains, or ibex drinking horns that can be strapped on a dragon’s shoulder & carried in flight.
Along with goods, Skywing merchants may offer sewing services to fix tears, burn marks, or other fabric damage. They are sought out for their quality clothing, and most fabric across Pyrria originated from a Skywing’s talons.
Mudwings: Mudwings’ abundant food & cooking skills are envied almost anywhere in Pyrrhia. Their swamps have fertile soil, responsible for hosting diverse crops which can be purchased as produce at merchant stalls. For those lucky enough to find a traveling Mudwing merchant, the promise of a delicious dish can be whipped up and served at the stall in no time. Along with produce goods, Mudwings sell weaved baskets, spices, and cooking ware.
Sandwings: Sandwing booths offer luxuries of the desert: It’s most common to find accessories such as gold carved jewelry or musical instruments such as drums, lyres, & mandolins for sale. Though, even more sought out across Pyrrhia is Sandwing tattoos/piercings, which are done within the merchant areas. Ink etchings on papyrus paper are stationed outside their tents to showcase designs. All which can be selected, and poked into the skin with a tapping stick and plant dye ink by a trained talon.
Seawings: SeaWings sell a variety of ocean related goods; taking a share in the fish market with Icewings. Outside of food, there are den decorations like driftwood carvings, accessories such as seashell & pearl jewelry, and rope nets weaved by expert Seawing sailors. Some Seawings even sell fishing equipment, canoes, or offer sailor knot tying instructions to curious dragon buyers.
Nightwings: During the war, it was near impossible to find a Nightwing merchant. Most refused to participate in merchant territory, mostly as a way to keep up with their tribe’s mysterious nature.
Though in the more shady, unground parts of the market you can buy from a huge selection of obsidian weaponry, the sharpest in Pyrrhia. No one knew initially how Nightwings smithed so many weapons, or why, until their secret volcano kingdom and the intention to invade the rainforest was discovered. Then forging armor & weapons became clear. Along with a vast armory, for the right price, some Nightwing merchants offer Prophecies & Nightwing Literature (not always guaranteed to always be reliable) and assassin services as well (very reliable).
Rainwings: Though Rainwings haven’t been part of Pyrrhia trading for years, they have a vast hold on dragon medicine. An apothecary of herbs, salves, and remedies are all offered for various ailments due to the rainforest’s abundant resources. Along with medicinal goods, many Rainwings are fruit vendors, promising to any hesitant meat-eating dragons that such an array of flavors isn’t to be missed. Though, their fruit selling pitches often fall flat to most other predominantly meat-eating tribes.
Icewings: Icewings have everything a dragon could need to brace the cold, with a selection of goods only found in the most frigid regions of Pyrrhia. Furs, bone jewelry, and fresh fish (thanks to frost breath) are served on ice. Though Icewings themselves don’t require fur to withstand the cold, it’s considered fashionable and common in upper ranks to wear fur as a status symbol. Since metal is hard to smith without fire & in cold temperatures, fur and bone are more accessible to Icewings for clothing statements.

“robin being the one to help raven in season four was SO RANDOM!!! he never showed that much concern for her before!! and what’s with that ‘you know me better than anyone’ crap!! since when???”
oh yeah robin has never shown to be overly concerned about raven’s feelings or general wellbeing
and he’s definitely never shown that he understands her and her powers or anything like that
nope never ever ever
