#but like REALLY old art

[nico-the-overlord]

@swampthing07 here are the gemsonas and gosh..you can see how old they are but

^This was my attempt to make a design for an Alexandrite, a non-fusion version of her anyways (I never colored in the gem I didn’t know how to)

This was Moonstone, the sona I originally was talking of. Below is what I wrote on page written out cause it’s sorta hard to see (also spelling mistake fixing kind of). In brackets is just my addition commentary if you care to read.

(Top part) She is normally calm and wise representing the right side, but she can also get wild and crazy, representing the left side [I wrote this to be on her right/left and not mine for some reason…also think her hair was supposed to be in a thick braid but ofc I didn’t draw that]

(Left side, bubbled portions) Her crescent eyes can see both in the future and into other universes. [I was worried I was making her TOO much like Garnet with this ability so I added in that last part…good going me lmao]

Her gem, a moonstone, is her nose.

(Right side, bubbled portions) She is not a fusion, and is an extremely rare gem due to powers and eyes.

Her weapon of choice are moonstars- the white half can blind the victim while the black part slows them down, but only for a few minutes [I remember “slow down” meaning like slowing down time wise which would only affect the target it hit which…idk how a weapon works time like that but whatever]

(Left side, bottom part) Used to work for White Diamond, but soon joined the rebellion. Sadly, she went corrupt because she fuzed with Blue Topaz who was going corrupt at the time, but didn’t tell Moonstone because they were being attacked by a group of Homeworld gems. It was the only way to survive. [Basically Blue Topaz was ANOTHER character I wanted to make so Moonstone would have a friend…I never wrote or drew of them but I wanted to make them look like the yellow topaz that appear canonically in the show just blue to be different 😭]

(Right side, bottom part) She was then bubbled up for safety in the basement, but has since returned living her life with her companion Blue Topaz- another member if the rebellion. [Never explained how the Crystal Gems got ahold of her]

And I would be her!

enough strong bads... time for strong sads (theres still a strong bad here)

[image description: a page of drawings of a human design of strong sad from homestar runner, where she is depicted as a fat, tan-skinned trans woman with gray and brown hair pulled into a bun and multiple piercings. she is wearing a gray sweatshirt, jeans, and steel-toed combat boots, and next to her is a note stating that she is trans and bisexual and that her pronouns are she/they. next to that is a drawing of her smiling and wearing a sloshy t-shirt, and above that is a comic of strong bad poking her in the stomach and saying "even her gender is my hand-me-downs", to which she stays silently angry at him. end id]

One thing for those who have watched The Boy and The Heron or will watch it. The Japanese title for it is How Do You Live? And Miyazaki stated he was leaving it for his grandson, saying, "Grandpa is moving onto the next world soon but he is leaving behind this film".

The deaths of contemporaries and friends such as Satoshi Kon and Isao Takahata and also the expected successor of Yoshifumi Kondo were things that have always weighed heavily on the back of Miyazaki's mind.

He recognizes the industry and the occupation for how soul crushing it was, grinding up either the spirit or the physical body of those who work in it. He loves and hates the industry he stands on the peak of and fully recognizes how it will probably be the death of him. And he knows it'll leave him unable to say a lot of things to his Grandson.

So How Do You Live? is a lesson. For his grandson. For himself. For his two sons. And probably for anyone else willing to pay attention.

Hayao Miyazaki is a flawed man that makes things so important to so many people. And I think more than any other film of his, in this you get to pull back the curtain a bit and see him at work. And what should be this giant unblemished titan can be seen for what he is, a sad old man who had higher hopes for himself and has even higher hopes for the people he makes his work for.

It's a beautiful thing to see another's humanity in their work. To look past the artifice and glam of commercialized art and find humans behind it. And humans willing to show their humanity and mortality is even rarer. And something to be celebrated. So when you watch it. Or if you've watched it already. Understand that this film is Miyazaki kneeling down, weary after years of weaving dreams and making mistakes, reaching out and saying to you that he hopes you can do better. It's an old man who's made all the mistakes of the world passing it on to you, hoping you do better, and making sure you know it's okay if you don't.

How do you Live? By making mistakes. By messing up. But still moving forward. And still reaching out.
