I’d like to introduce the Wilted Rose AU! These are the main players in this au (plus a few more gems I haven’t gotten designs down for yet). More info under the cut!
Padparascha came out perfect. That is the main difference. Padparadscha came out perfect and was immediately brought before the three diamonds (Pink was elsewhere) to show her wisdom. After all, no Sapphire had been born perfect before.
There, she gave a vision that shook the diamonds to their core: Pink Diamond will rebel and bring about the end of gem culture as we know it. White Diamond immediately told Pink she would "test her patience". She was to wait, alone, until the Diamonds came and retrieved her.
After this, Pink Diamond was nothing more than a fairy tale to most gems. The only evidence she existed was a memorial garden in the very corner of a Blue Diamond galaxy.
Thousands of years later, Pink is found again by a Peridot conducting warp tests, and suddenly Pink has a group of friends willing to help her get back into society. And maybe even back at her fellow Diamonds.....
A few tid bits what changes there are to gems:
Padparascha is perfect, obviously.
Pink Pearl was released from White Diamond’s grasp and reset. She was given to Padparascha for warning the Diamonds of the rebellion. Padparascha kept her mostly the way she was. For her Diamond’s eventual return.
Peridot is still short as, due to the lack of a fourth diamond, there is still a lack of resources.
Crystal Gem Pearl is reset and given to Blue Diamond as a way to remember the littlest Diamond.
Sapphire comes out off color due to the persistent “ice” (it’s actually an unformed sapphire gem she formed around) stuck in her eye. But she can easily mask as non defective for “missions”, such as sneaking defects off the chopping block and getting them somewhere safe.
Amethyst is one of the few gems who hangs out around Sapphire, having still stayed in the ground too long. They fuse occasionally. There is no Garnet.
Spinel was in the ground when Pink was sent away. She was sent to manage the memorial garden as soon as she emerged. No friends for this Spinel....
Lapis Lazuli lost a lot of rank after her former best friend and love interest Aquamarine told the Dimaonds about a rule the Lazuli had broken. Lapis was stationed at the memorial garden, to forever be stuck watering plants instead of being free to terraform.

Unbeknownst to the common man, the concept many would know as a "time lord" is real. Guardians of history, Arglwydd Amsers are assigned to various spots in history, to make sure certain important events happen by the god of time. When they're not on assignment, they're in the designated "present" - making sure no one is messing with the time stream. Blending in, looking like normal mortals (minus their eyes). No one knows they exist (except a select few they keep as companions, more on that in the notes).
Gwendolyn went through the motions. Did his duty for a long time. Made sure time was right, and made sure some.... horrible things happened. He... hated it, to be frank. Having everything in his life decided for him. Everything he'd ever do was decided for him. He didn't want any of this. He was never asked what he wanted, his feelings never considered.
Gwendolyn ran away. He went rogue, galavanting through time and trying to be as free as he could be. He avoids any other time lords, knowing he'd likely be forced back to his duty. He never purposefully screws up anything in the time stream, knowing how hard it is to fix. However, he doesn't mind if something happens on accident. Whatever, right? He doesn't care anymore. He's free. And loving life.
A few tid bits:
All Arglwydd Amsers are intersex. This includes Gwendolyn. Their gender is left up to them.
Arglwydd Amsers generally do not like interacting with other Arglwydd Amsers. They never really consider them family or lovers, just a coworker they might run into who might mess with their work. Because of this, it’s rare to see more than one in any one time period/place combination.
Companions are important to Arglwydd Amsers. They tell one person the truth behind what they are and take them on adventures with them. The companion is locked from telling anyone the truth behind who the Arglwydd Amser is with a silence spell similar to Pearl's silence in Steven Universe. This is not done on purpose but is a sort of survival instinct done automatically by the Arglwydd Amser.
If a companion is mortal, the Arglwydd Amser always keeps a keepsake to remember the companion by. And returns them to their time before they age too much.
The time god knows what companions each Arglwydd will get throughout their lives, but prefers to leave their identities and what their relationships will be like a surprise to the Arglwydd Amser. He also never tells what other relationships will be important through the Arglwydd Amser’s life, or what they need to say in order to complete their mission. He knows his Arglwydd Amsers are smart and can figure things out themselves.
Arglwydd Amsers are sort of like jellyfish. They can, theoretically, live forever. However, they can be killed by outside means. The time god is aware of if and when an Arglwydd Amser will die and is ready to replace them at a moment's notice. He never gets attached to them for this reason.
The time god is aware of Gwendolyn running away, but simply does not care. He does not foresee him causing any major problems- and he has enough Arglwydd Amsers to cover any spots Gwendolyn is supposed to be. One rouge one is nothing to worry about.
There are other Arglwydd Amsers who know Gwendolyn is rebelling and are chasing after him, trying to get him back to work. Unaware their boss doesn't care.
Amethyst(?
Went for a sorta mad scientisty look. I think she’s nice and kooky! I’m gonna call her Dizzy :)
maybe this is why you can’t romance him....
he took my spot
Aaaaa my babies! I can't believe you did both!!! Thank you so much!!
Could you draw either my blind pearl or my iridescent blue pearl then? Whichever you like best
I made a change on Iridiscent Blue Pearl's palette, but only the eye-shadow thing
I hope you still like it ^ ^
quiet sorta chibi doodles of all the uncorrupted gems from my oc au so far.
Liddicoatite - the Rock Star
Copper - the Abandoned.

No one:
Yaboy-robin: this oc gets some trauma for no particular reason
It's how I ignore my own traumas! (:
Meet Lyrus, the support dog! ....What do you mean he looks funny? He's just your average dog from the pits of Hell! No big deal! Lyrus is an emotional support dog for Covah post-story. He is trained to help Covah with his PTSD and Autism (yes, Covah is autistic- I just don't mention it often). Covah named Lyrus after the first wielder of Simone's sword, whom he heard many stories about during his time under the Viking Princess.
Lyrus:
His eye opens up to his mouth if that’s not obvious. The eye flips up like an eyelid but goes behind the skin instead of scrunching up at the top of the mouth. He only opens his mouth to eat- any noises he makes (which are at the volume of the average dog) are made with his mouth closed. He does not need to eat, but he does like treats and food.
Can eat souls, but does not like them. They taste funny :c If he ate a soul, that would destroy it forever unless he barfed it up.The barf would contain broken chunks of the soul, and the soul needs to be repaired - which is hard to do. Only the strongest souls can do it.
Leaves hell fire where he walks. These are black flames that do not burn the average mortal, or inanimate objects- but will burn a soul (so ghosts will be hurt)
Is very friendly! Think your average, over excitable puppy with support dog training.
Is the same size as a Doberman
Cannot die unless his soul is destroyed, which is hard to do for the average man. This makes him perfect for the immortal Covah so he doesn't have to go through the death of someone he's attached to again.
"yes, yes, it's very pretty. Now put it down before you poof yourself....."
maybe taff and my dolomite? if that's okay!
Of course! Taaf got distracted by the cane shshh
toot toot.
Covah was originally created, in a very edgy way that would be practically unrecognizable to anyone looking at it today, in late July! So, here’s something for the kinda birthday boy! Reference taken from this video
Another screenshot edit of the gays. From the most recent ep. They. Are worried for Fink. Also in this scenario they do not live with Box. Just visit for work. The house did not explode. Just the doomsday ray was destroyed.
