For the Pearlification au, how long do you think Reader could last before being found out? What kind of repercussions would there be for not being well...perfect or at least falling completely to the pearlifiction process?
I think Reader could last about three or four months before someone became too concerned or Reader said something to the wrong gem. The repercussions wouldn't be bad (not the gem version of bad), such as abuse or shattering... No, they'd just rejuvenate Reader (which Reader might see as worse). The gems don't want to hurt Reader, but they believe Reader would be happier that way, with a new start and no memory of being human, so as not to miss Earth or any other humans who aren't pearls now, and so they wouldn't try to run or leave them. They'd try to be as patient and calm with it as possible, even if Reader is crying or sobbing their heart out or summoning a weapon- Reader would fight every step of the way, and would not go down without a fight...
I kinda headcanon Reader runs off successfully at first... Only to be hunted down, then dragged back...
(Do you have anymore questions for this AU or the other Gem AUs? Do you have a favorite gem type? And who is your favorite platonic yandere, @vivid-bun? Thank you for asking your question!!!)

The Adults and Older Teens:

Then you have the Younger Teens:

Kitty: Light Pink Pearl, a human-turned Pearl who was friends with Indigo Pearl and Reader before they were converted; is bubbly and very clever; is a pale pink, with an ovular pearl on her navel

(The Reef has many saltwater pools for relaxation and community bonding. There are several rooms as well with aquariums, touch pools, and museums about gem history, the Reef, and Pearls, as well as some about marine animals of the galaxy, and one specifically for Earth marine life. There is a main bedroom/relaxing room for Pearls, with carved shell beds afield with soft cushions amd pillows and blankets, with lights that turn off when needed, and doors that open when the guards command it. The gems who maintain the Reef are nicer than they appear, but Reader is still scared of them because of what they did, yet Reader tries to act like nothing is wrong, in case anyone discovers they remember being human. There is a check-up/rejuvenating room, where the Pearls are inspected, and if needed, rejuvenated, so they won't remember being human or anything besides waking up at the Reef. There is art along different walls, murals of different gems and plenty of Pearls, all in different colors and gem shapes. And there are plenty of recreational rooms, for making art or fixing things or reading holo pads or gardening or whatever you could think of...)

Have I ever explained the Pearlification AU? Where the earth is being taken over by gems, humans were dying out, and the gems take in the ones they consider worthy, and make them into a gem... And that Pearls are not servants, but are considered treasures by the gem society, gems who are pure and unique and are to be adored and protected, kept safe in the Reef, a safe place, almost a temple, for Pearls, and their loyal guards and caretakers...
Reader and some of the teens are humans, who the gems took in/force adopted, and are slowly brought about the Reef after they were taken from Earth. Yet the gems plan to turn them into gems, Pearls, to be exact, to take care of and teach and love on... Reader tries to run away after the others are taken, but ends up in the room where humans are converted to Pearls... They end up being taken to a special room, where they're asked questions, such as favorite colors, what shape they prefer, oval or circle, how they want to look, their preferred hair style, the clothes they like, what they want to be called, if they can drink some water they brought for them... Reader answers, albeit shakingly and scared out of their wits, until they're told they've finished. Reader is taken to a room with warm pools, and bathes off any dirt or salt. Once they're clean, they're taken to another room, a waiting room of sorts... Reader is given a glass of odd liquid and told to drink all of it. When they ask if they have to, they're told it is important they do so. Reader drinks it, and ends up drugged, and is taken to the conversion room...
They're tested a bit after being laid down, their eyes are checked, their nose, their ears, their heartbeat, their breathing... Then they're lightly strapped down, and given an injection that makes them sleepy. They slowly drift off, to the sound of water and quiet chatter...
When Reader wakes up, they feel tired, yet a bit... lighter. Cleaner. They look around, finding themself in a large room full of soft pillows and blankets, in a carved bed? that looks like a shell. They can see a few sleeping figures, but they're... In different colors of the rainbow. From indigo blue to powder pink to scarlet red to ivory white and olive green and cream yellow, and many more... Reader rubs their eyes, then freezes. Their hands... they aren't any human skin tone they've seen. They're... colorful... Reader scrambles, feeling their body, noting that there's a gem on them, amd feels panicked. But they eventually calm fown enough to decide decide need to watch and observe, they need to act like nothing is wrong, at least not right now...
A few of the gems (the adults and older teens) come in, and Reader pretends to be asleep. What they hear is a small discussion between the gems about how after the conversion, they should all be pearls, and should not remember being human. They might remember friends and a few small things, but they shouldn't be anything besides freshly made pearls who are being taken care of and loved by the gem society...
So Reader, when someone goes to wake them up, acts lightly dazed and a little confused, but watches how the other tee- pearls, react. And see that they are mostly calm, bubbly, or asking what their purpose is. They end up lined up and taken to a room, where they each stand on a shell and are told to state their name (the color pearl they are), their flaw, and their perfections... Reader just hopes they can hold up against all of this, and can hide that they remember. Maybe they can snap some of the others out of it...
(Ask any questions you want about this AU! If you have an idea for Reader's Pearl color or what their flaw or perfections could be, I'm open to discussing it! I don't know why, but I like pearls, and the idea of the platonic yans loving the Pearl kids, who are like newborn gemlings now, is kinda sweet and creepy fluff... What do y'all think?)

If anyone has any questions, concepts, or ideas for a Fusion Reader AU, or the Gem in the Rough AU, Malachite AU, Stamate AU, Pearlification AU, Gem Drone AU, or for a Diamond/Upper Crust AU, or any Gem ideas you can think of or want to see, feel free to ask them or share your thoughts! I'm so excited for these!

My ideas about the Reader in different AU:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pictures are not mine and I am not appropriating them!!
So pretty! To whoever the artist is, you made lovely art! Thank you for being creative, and we hope you get the recognition you deserve!
To @pfosi
I like what you're thinking! I think Lapis Lazuli Reader with gold in them is a great idea, and opens up new possibilities! Opal Fusion Reader would be fun, especially exploring their personalities! And Pearl Reader, I don't know what color they'd be, but I love seeing so many options and designs! Which Gem AU is your favorite? Do you have a favorite X-Men character? A favorite hero? A favorite villain? And which gem is your favorite?😊🙂
(Do you think I should have custom art made for some of the X-Men gems, and maybe even Reader?)

How are Pearls treated in comparison to cannon? Like the differences?
Okay! Good question! Let's see:
Pearls are seen as precious beings, gems of high standing, even as pure, rather than as servants or objects to own. Where in canon a Pearl would have an owner, in the AU none of them do. If anything, Pearls are like children, or a special class of gem to protect and preserve. While they aren't commanding fleets or in charge of much, they have their own special place/home, the Reef. Also, some Pearls start out human, and that isn't in the show at all. I'm taking a few liberties, because I like making AUs and sometimes changing things up a bit.
Did this help? I hope it did! If you have any more questions for this AU, or another Gem AU, or any concepts or ideas for another scenario, I don't mind hearing it!

I'm open to any Gem AU ideas! Go for a Homeworld AU, a half human Reader AU, an Elite Gem AU, or any of the other AUs I've mentioned previously! (I especially love Fusion Reader AUs! Or Pearl Reader AUs! Oooooo, imagine if someone asked about a Diamond AU-!)
If anyone has any questions, concepts, or ideas for a Fusion Reader AU, or the Gem in the Rough AU, Malachite AU, Stamate AU, Pearlification AU, Gem Drone AU, or for a Diamond/Upper Crust AU, or any Gem ideas you can think of or want to see, feel free to ask them or share your thoughts! I'm so excited for these!
