I decided to do something that would make 13 year old me happy and draw a my little pony au I loved thinking about when I was younger.
This is a no rainboom/element swap au! This will be the first of a few posts cause I want all the main six separate to explain how their lives are different with their different destinies.
First up is the one that hasn’t changed a bit since I first developed the au when I was 13 is Pink “Pinkie” Quartz Pie, the element of Kindness, and her lovely diamond dog wife Roxie!
When Pinkie was a filly, a cave in caused her to be separated from her rock farming family. Trying to find another exit, she found a Diamond Dog pup about her age also separated from her group. Pinkie made great friends with this Diamond Dog, and the pup- named Roxie- helped her find an exit.
Her family was at first shocked and angry to see Pinkie associating with a dangerous Diamond Dog. However, Pinkie managed to explain that the pup and her family were of no danger to the ponies. In fact, they could even help them run the rock farm even better with their ability to sniff out gems. A peace accord between the Diamond Dogs of the mine and the Pie family was struck, and the Diamond Dogs became co-owners of the quarry the Pies owned.
This is how Pinkie earned her cutie mark. It represents her talent for diplomacy and helping/creating friendships with ponies and other species with an emblem from the first species she helped- Diamond Dogs.
She married the Diamond Dog who helped her that day later in life, and she moved to Ponyville to help Roxie try to achieve her dream of being a professional baker. Plus, Ponyville is in a great spot for her to try to craft some great friendships between ponies and not ponies!
Roxie is very stoic and quiet but loves her smol pink pony wife very much. She speaks great english unlike her show counter parts, but speaks with a thick accent that somewhere between russian and french.
I’m quite happy with how this turned out. Just a quiet drawing to cool down for the night.
Gwendolyn has a lot of pent up anger towards the deity who controls time. He worshiped Boss at one point in time. But, Boss had Gwendolyn do something..... Terrible. Something that did not need to happen for history to continue on the path it was headed. But Gwendolyn was assigned to it anyway. And around 4000 people died. Being forced to do that would make even the most loyal of men question their leader.
But, he knows he can do nothing with this anger. The deity knows all Gwendolyn has and will do. The curse of working with someone who knows all of history that has and will happen. So, Gwendolyn rebels against his post. It’s the most he can do to show his dissatisfaction.
I did not feel like lining and coloring these, so you get sketches.
Have the other pearls as if they were designed like my redesign for crystal gem pearl.
Some notes:
Blue Pearl, in this au, is hinted at being a two pearl fusion, her other gem hidden behind her bangs. but it’s never confirmed. Though, her size does give a good hint....
I moved Blue P’s gem to her right chest, as Blue Diamond would have her gem on her left chest and I wanted it kinda opposite.
Same with Yellow Pearl, but for her right chest.
Speaking of Yellow Pearl, she is one of few Pearls allowed to see. With her eye on her lower half always looking.
The “ribbon” tying her top to her is actually a face, as you can see. It bites and makes little noises at assailants.
Lonely Pearl’s eyes opened on accident, revealing no irises and no pupils. No way to see. She was abandoned for her crime of even daring to open her eyes.
Rip Pink Pearl. Her “spikes” and cracks are all white stained, but the rest of her is pink.
Aubergine Pearl is very excited about her freedom to see ion era three and wants to see everything. She’s more of a joke in that she gasps and Steven thinks she’s gasping at him, but she’s actually gasping at the thrones of the diamonds and finally getting to see them.
Some steven universe gem redesigns! These are just for fun and not in any way done to criticize the designs the show has. We have Pearl, Sapphire, and Peridot in that order.
Some tidbits about the designs:
Pearls do not “speak” normally, as they have no mouths. Rather, they produce prerecorded robotic speech from their gem.
Pearls always have their eyes closed, as to not see any secrets that could get out. Pearl herself finally opens her eyes as her last step to realizing she’s free
Pearl’s sword was her first actual possession, given to her by Rose. She always has it with her.
The crystal gem emblem changes from a star to a heart.
Sapphires float and never touch the ground
They do not talk with their eye mouths unless they are predicting a particularly nasty future they don’t like. Rather, they speak with a sort of telepathy.
Peridot’s face can be turned off. This makes her mute until she turns herself back on
Electricity keeps her gem afloat and keeps it from being grabbed by any assailants.
She will always have the floating fingers, with there being no equivalent to her limb enhancers.
This version of Peridot would have electricity generation instead of metal bending.
I’ll probably do more of these later (including the ones in my inbox) I just wanted to get these out there!
Reminder that your art is worth waiting for
Lies and slander. Blocked.
HOLY SHIT WHAAAAAAT????? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DRAWING HER HOLY SHIT!!
I thought to myself this morning. “What if a Pearl owned a Pearl.” And then immediately after, thought “What if crystal gem Pearl accidentally came into ownership of a Pearl. So I designed a Pearl for crystal gem Pearl. Her nickname is Tutu.
I also wrote a short drabble of Pearl getting Tutu. I’ll put it under the cut if you want to read it!
Keep reading
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.
So I had this dream last night that had three sapphires stacked on top of each other in it. The dream kept switching between if they were a fusion, an off color, or just three sapphires who liked to be together like this. I decided to concept her and….. Okay she’s hilarious I love her.
I’m calling her Color Change Sapphire. I’m gonna have it so they keep switching between explanations on what they are so I don’t have to decide. Either one of the sapphires or all of the sapphires talk at once. No just two of em talking.
This is the silliest thing I’ve ever concepted.
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 ^ ^
How about Fluorite
Instead of a Pearl or a Spinel, I went with a Spinel and Pearl fusion! This is Butterfly Jasper, the fusion of a yellowish green spinel and a blue pearl.
Spinel having a spinel but that spinel has a pearl
The Diamonds gave Spinel the Pearl first. They customized her, thinking their lovely Spinel would adore a beautiful Pearl to do things for her. Spinel was horrified at the notion, and felt terrible with this poor Pearl following her around everywhere. The Diamonds, not realizing their mistake, gave her a Spinel as a “sorry” present. Obviously she was uncomfortable with the Pearl, so she should have something more her speed- another Spinel! :) This gift was even more horrifying to poor Spinel and she’s not sure what to do with them.
I’m not sure a nickname for the Pearl but the Spinel is known as Crow
Amethyst(?
Went for a sorta mad scientisty look. I think she’s nice and kooky! I’m gonna call her Dizzy :)
Heyyyyyy just wanted to tell you that i love your gems okay bye
!!!!!! ANOOOOOOON!!!!! GET BACK HERE SO I CAN HUG YOU! FHKLLKKJBB
Aaaaaa my baby!!!!!! Thank you so much for drawing her!!!!
Commission for @yaboy-robin !
Tutu Pearl has a pretty cute design and interesting history, it was a joy to draw her
I thought to myself this morning. “What if a Pearl owned a Pearl.” And then immediately after, thought “What if crystal gem Pearl accidentally came into ownership of a Pearl. So I designed a Pearl for crystal gem Pearl. Her nickname is Tutu.
I also wrote a short drabble of Pearl getting Tutu. I’ll put it under the cut if you want to read it!
Greg hummed to himself as he flipped a pancake in a sizzling pan. It was a quiet morning in the beach house, months after his son had left to find himself on his road trip across America.
The first few days without him were bad, but there was a routine now. Greg would make breakfast as soon as he got up, making sure to make enough for Amethyst and Garnet if they wanted to join him. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl would join him before their classes for the day. And they’d just….. chat. A lot more amicably than years ago when Greg first met them.
Greg looked up as Garnet walked into the beach house from her room, looking deep in thought. “Morning, Garnet.” He waved his spatula at her before depositing the finished pancake he had onto a plate.
Garnet simply grunted, walking over and sitting at the countertop. She clasped her hands in front of her mouth and desummoned her visor. Her three eyes were furrowed in confusion.
Greg frowned and turned to the fusion, “Did you foresee something bad?”
“Not per say,” Garnet mumbled, eyes flicking to the warp pad. “I was looking into the future out of curiosity this morning. Amethyst joins us shortly. Pearl returns from her trip to the Reef to help tear it down. But as soon as she enters….” Garnet shook her head, “She’s holding…. Something….. my future vision gets foggy after that."
Greg hummed and looked to the warp. "So you got no idea what she has and what happens after?”
“I bet it’s Steven.” Amethyst piped up as she entered, having been listening. “Surprise visit before he goes back on the road.”
“No,” Garnet shook her head, “Whatever it is fits in the palm of her hands. Like a gem.”
“Maybe it’s a corrupted gem we missed,” Amethyst shrugged.
“Could it reform here and you get poofed by it?” Greg frowned worriedly.
“Perhaps,” Garnet nodded. “I do generally lose sight after I retreat into my gems. If that’s the case, you should probably take your breakfast to go.”
“Good idea,” Greg nodded, “I’ll eat out in the van,” He reached and turned off the stove, picking up the plate of flapjacks and a fork. However, the warp pad alighted, and everyone present looked over to the light it produced.
Pearl stood, hands clasped protectively around something. “Garnet,” she sprinted over, face contorted in grief and worry.
“Pearl,” Garnet’s brow furrowed behind her visor, Amethyst next to her getting ready to summon her weapon. “What’s wrong?”
“There- there was-” Pearl fretted, “I was cleaning up some rubble that Mega Pearl left behind and…. She was just…. There. Under the rubble. I didn’t see her there before- Why didn’t I see her?”
“Calm down,” Garnet soothed Pearl’s shoulder, looking to make sure Greg was sneaking around the counter carefully. Ready to sprint if need be.“Who was there?”
Pearl whimpered before opening her hands. Amethyst muttered an, “Oh shit.” Garnet gasped lightly and covered her mouth in shock. Greg poked his head over to see what the hubbub was about, before giving a small “eesh” in sympathy.
In her hands, was a round, bright pink Pearl gemstone.
“What happened?” Garnet took the gem gently, feeling it. She couldn’t see her reforming. She couldn’t see anything. Why couldn’t she see anything? But this wasn’t a time to fall apart. This was a time to be there. For Pearl.
“I don’t know!” Pearl sniffled, “She was already in her gem when I found her!”
“Well,” Amethyst looked over at the stone, “Do you think she’s a dud?”
“Amethyst!” Garnet scolded sharply, through her teeth. This question caused Pearl to spill more tears.
“What?” Amethyst shrugged, “She coulda been a dud left there cause she wouldn’t form. Explains why you didn’t see her before.”
“She has a point,” Pearl sniffled, wiping her eyes, “I just…. Hope she isn’t. I want her to be okay-”
“She should form,” Garnet soothed Pearl’s shoulder again, “And soon. She’s very warm.”
“And that matters becauuuuse?” Amethyst cocked a brow, crossing her arms.
“Gems who can’t form are always ice cold,” Garnet motioned, setting the gem down on the counter behind her, “Gems who are close to reforming get warmer by the second. We should wait for her to reform. Greg,” she looked over to the human, “Could you go to the school and tell them we’re cancelling classes today?”
“Of course,” Greg nodded, before leaving the beach house.
“We should take shifts watching over her,” Garnet nodded, “Make sure she’s got someone there when she forms. For now, let’s all watch her.”
“Thank you all,” Pearl sighed in relief, “I was just so worried when I saw her- I thought maybe she was cracked or broken by the collapse of the reef. I couldn’t think straight. I just…. Brought her here.”
“You never think straight,” Amethyst joked, “You always think gay.”
Pearl laughed half-heartedly, before looking to the Pearl on the counter. She placed a hand on the stone. “I wonder who you are- Why were you in the reef?”
Before anyone could reply, the gem began to glow bright, levitating in the air. A shell surrounded the stone, and a robotic voice similar to the reef’s stated plainly, “Please identify yourself.”
Pearl’s hand clasped over her mouth in shock, eyes going huge. Garnet grimaced. Amethyst looked over to Pearl and uttered, “Pearl-” in worry.
“Greetings Pearl. Please state your preferred customization options.” the shell hummed gently.
“Amethyst!” Garnet hissed, taking off her visor. “Now she’s going to think Pearl’s her owner!”
“Well I’m sorry!” Amethyst growled, “I’ve never seen this happen! What’s wrong with her?”
“She’s either new or been rejuvenated,” Pearl swallowed thickly, sniffling. “It’s- It’s okay. I can… handle her.”
“Are you sure?” Amethyst frowned, “We don’t know if she’s been reset. How are we going to get her back to how she was?”
“We probably never will” Pearl shook her head, “We don’t know who she was originally for. And there’s no real way of finding out with the reef gone. And, besides, I should know best what a Pearl needs. And how to help her realize she’s free. After all-” She laughed bitterly, “I am the original renegade.”
Garnet and Amethyst looked at each other before nodding. Garnet nodded to Pearl, “If you’re sure.”
Pearl took a deep breath and nodded, speaking up for the Pearl still floating there, “Default settings.”
“Default setting selected.” The shell hummed, “Please stand by.” The shell descended and opened to reveal a Pearl reforming.
The Pearl was the exact colors of Pink Diamond, bright pink with light pink hair in pigtails. Her hair covered her eyes mostly, with only her left eye poking out behind her bangs. Her top was bright pink with overly long sleeves, and cropping at her stomach. There was a bow tied at the back of it. Her lower half was a tutu, the same color as her top. She had high white socks with dark pink stripes at the top of them, and light pink ballet flats with bright pink bows on the back of them.
However, the thing that was most striking about her- and the thing that caused Pearl to gasp and over her mouth again, was the fact that the Pearl’s gem was defaulted to be where her mouth was supposed to be. Leaving her mute.
Garnet gasped herself, bringing her hand to her own mouth in disgust. Who would order a Pearl like this? Amethyst winced, sucking in air through her teeth, “Ah shit-”
The Pearl looked around before spotting Pearl, and kneeling before her. She seemed to go to talk, but realized her gem was over her mouth. She felt the gem a moment before closing her eyes and lifting her hair so that her neck was exposed. Pearl sobbed loudly at this, muttering, “No- no no please- no-”
“What is she doing?” Amethyst whispered to Garnet, who looked lost and unsure what to do.
“She knows she’s defective,” Garnet whispered back, “So she’s offering to let her new owner put her back into her gem and then shatter her for her defect.”
“Shit-” Amethyst winced.
“Please-” Pearl took the other Pearl’s hands and put them down and away from her neck, “Don’t do that. If I have to order you to do anything- never do that. You’re fine the way you are. I will never shatter you.”
The Pearl looked at the renegade, eyes shining in awe before she nodded and stood straight. Bowing to her new master. Amethyst and Garnet grimaced at this motion.
This was going to be a long day.
White Diamond.Because reasons.:3
Instead of using the other gems in my inbox I randomly generated a gem from the list of canon gems to fuse with for these last ones. Also, I didn’t feel like coloring these.
Antimony is the fusion of Mean Lapis and White Diamond
Finally, a new original gem. I’ve had her line art on my desktop forever just kinda. Kept not getting to it.
This is Goethite; a gem who is essentially a coroner. Their purpose is to identify gem shards down to their specific cut and facet. and figure out how and why they were shattered. They’re a rarer gem, not finding much use.
This one was specifically created to investigate Pink Diamond’s demise.
@dailygemsonas :3c
just like.... pretend this is colored. I’m too lazy lol
White Diamond, Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond, and Spinel make Antimony
More of the diamonds with not their pearls! C:
Yellow Diamond and CG Pearl make Powellite (fun fact: I started this design wanting to make an aubergine pearl and yellow d fusion but well.... it came out more like it was with cg pearl.)
Pink Diamond Rose Quartz and Lonely Pearl make Redruthite.
Before you inundate me with asks, I’ve made my stance on fusions we’ve seen on the show, but with different component gems (ex a ruby and sapphire but not the cg ruby and sapphire) very clear. I think they would have different names.
I do wanna make fusions with Blue Pearl and Aubergine too, but I’m not sure who with since I’ve done all the diamonds :V
I had a dream that Blue Pearl and Yellow Diamond fused the other day, so I felt like fusing the diamonds with Pearls that are not theirs!
Volleyball and Blue Diamond make Tremolite.
Yellow Pearl and White Diamond make Enstatite.
Before you inundate me with asks, I’ve made my stance on fusions we’ve seen on the show, but with different component gems (ex a ruby and sapphire but not the cg ruby and sapphire) very clear. I think they would have different names.
I’ll make fusions with Yellow Diamond and Pink Diamond and not their pearls later C:
New Character alert!
Full Name: Gwendolyn Elisha Rolfe
Species: Arglwydd Amser
Gender: Male [he/him/his]
Age: Unknown
Birthdate: Irrelevant
Sexuality: Panromantic Pansexual
Height: 5ft 9in
Handedness: Ambidextrous
Myer Briggs: ENFP
Voice Claim: Raymond from OK KO
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.
So I've gotten quite a few adopts from @gaartes lately, and I thought I'd make them all into a massive fusion! This is Shocked Quartz; a fusion of "Dorothy" Peridot, "Pink" Ruby, "Midnight" Aquamarine, "Cute" Pebble, and the pearl and peridot from "Doll" the pearlidot fusion. Though I did move Dorothy's gem to be on her belly instead of not visible. Shocked's a rock star who performs at a resort for fusions.
So I’ve gotten really into Persona 5 lately and decided a while ago to try to concept my own phantom thieves ish group. These guys are the ones I have done so far, but I do want to add more people to this group! I have only written the summoning speeches for one of these guys, so I’ll put the symbolism behind certain design aspects of the personas and the speech for the one I have it for since he doesn’t have any symbolism in his design. And then I’ll explain their user’s stories!
Annabelle (”Blunderbuss”): The leader of the group and the first to summon her persona. She is the child of an assumed “criminal”, who died in a shoot out with police. She is looked upon with caution and contempt, assumed to be destined to become a criminal like her father. She knows her father is innocent and is just trying to keep her head down when she discovers the metaverse.
Rook: On a pirate flag; the color red symbolizes no mercy, an hourglass symbol symbolizes “time is running out”, and weapons symbolize an impending fight.
Rowan (”Spark”): The second to summon their persona. Rowan used to be a goody-two-shoes, an honor student, and a perfectionist. This was all due to expectations placed upon them to succeed and was fine. They suppose. But an incident left them without their right eye. Suddenly, they were treated as other and everything they were was ignored. Well, they were going to be treated as a good for nothing? They’d act like a good for nothing. They feel more ready to discover who they truly are after summoning their persona.
Antagonist: "So! You've finally decided to stop the show! You've kept it up so long, I was beginning to think you'd never find your real self. Now tell me, will you return to the role society cast you as? Or will you come onto the stage, and wow the audience with whom you truly are?! I am thou, thou art I- Thou hast been subservient for too long! The you your heart projects hath been locked away much like a princess in a castle! It's time we forge a contract, and let the world watch the true you in awe!"
Atlas (Masquerade”): The third to summon their persona. Atlas is close to an abusive, manipulative man whom he keeps a secret for, unaware he’s being used. I’m not quite sure what the secret is currently. However, he finds himself accidentally pulled into the palace of his “friend” and finds out he’s being used and manipulated. And suddenly he’s ready to let the caged bird sing.
Zephyranthes: The Zephyranthes, or the rain flower, means "I will never forget you", black nightingales represent secrets, and the number 5 in numerology is connected to life changes. Also, the white rose in Atlas’s hair for his palace outfit symbolizes secrets.
