A commission for @captainjzh - it's Frog Man!

[faelapis]

What do you think about that Ian JQ tweet about the Diamonds apparently *not* killing intelligent life on countless planets, and that human life was their first encounter with it? The fandom’s response has been...less than stellar.

why? it has never been implied that they killed intelligent life on other planets. ever. that’s something the fandom invented. 

the diamonds, and homeworld gems generally, treated the crystal gems as basically eco-terrorists for this reason (”what are you so upset about? we made a zoo to preserve some specimen!”, “i’m surprised a human is capable of understanding how i feel”). the only other creatures we’ve seen them target have been basically animals (the rainbow worm, the creatures on the jungle moon). gems and humans have always been framed as this dichotomy of intelligent life within this universe.

oh wait, i know why, it’s because the fandom loves to see things in whatever way makes the “evil” characters more evil, like how they treat pink as some malicious manipulator. so i’m sure it was a big blow for the people who have used this to “prove” how evil gemkind is for years. F in the chat lmao.

[incorrect-steven-universe]

Now this is a story all about how my gem got flip-turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit down, girl, I'll tell you how I became the prince of a place called Homeworld. In west Beach City, born and raised, outside the Big Donut's where I spent most of my days... Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, not playing b-ball, not in school When a couple of Di's who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and their plan unfurled Blue Diamond said 'you're moving with us to a place called Homeworld' I begged and pleaded with her day after day, but she threatened to kill everyone unless she got her way. She gave me a Pearl and then she gave me a spaceship, I got out my ukulele and said "I might as well kick it'! First class, yo, this is bad No durian juice and no champagne glass? Is this what the people of Homeworld living like? Yo, this isn't alright I tried to escape but they wouldn't let me leave Homeworld knew every trick up my sleeve I felt so sick I really should have hurled But Blue thought "Nah, forget it, yo Pearl, to Homeworld!" I pulled up to a palanquin, 7 or 8 And I yelled at Blue Diamond 'yo, Blue, smell ya later!' Looked at my kingdom, it's a horrible swirl, But I sit on my throne as the prince of Homeworld.

Wait a second… just how long was Amethyst left...

Why do you think she’s a Retcon? This was how it was planned since the beginning

Are you really going to try and tell me anything about this was planned? Are you? Are you really? Are you really going to try and do that? Really? Are you? Really? Are you? Are you really?

I mean, I guess you can try, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m not in the mood to even pretend to listen.

Padparadscha's Pearl by CaptainJZH

Rating: G

Summary: Pearl had never met a defective Elite before. She had never expected for one to become her master.

And she never thought she would find herself caring for her master, protecting her and helping keep her defect a secret.

But it was funny how things worked out like that.

Comments: This is a sweet little story involving Padparadscha's Pearl, and how the servant does everything in her power to help her new friend!

Kira: Everyone’s happy!

Corrupt-a-Prompt: The Earth was saved.

It was the kind of celebration that could be heard around the planet. Voices raised in cheers and song, feet stomping on the ground, Gems sobbing with relief and delight, bright flashes of light as many were swept up in dances and fused spontaneously–

It was a day that would most certainly go down in Gem and human history alike.

The Earth was saved. They’d done it. They’d done it. They’d looked the Diamond’s in the eyes, they’d defied Homeworld, and carved out this little piece of the universe, a place where people of all kinds could be safe and free and themselves.

And then it came.

A light in a sky. A song. No, not a song– that was too pretty a word. A sound, a noise, grating and ugly and burning and corrupting and horrible

and it was in their ears in their minds

their mi/nds

splintering

shattering 

shrieking

thoughts flying away, fading, as wings and claws and teeth sprouted, and it hurt, it hurt, it hurt all the more because they couldn’t remember why it hurt, or how–

Across the globe, humans cowered in their huts and their homes, and the screams of monsters echoed through the air.

Among it all, stood the only four remaining Gems on all of Earth. Tears rolling down their stunned faces. Clutching at each other, clutching at their weapons, as they were forced to raise them against old friends.

The Earth was saved.

But who could saves the ones who’d fought for it?

Hey, don’t tell anyone, but I did too!

@darksoul2727

Why did no one warn me?

Oh man, me too. ME. TOO. Opal is still my #1. Hopal for more Opal all day errday.

@aurumkhk​

True! I guess I would have assumed she’d already be looking for back-up regardless, but going home without the information she came for would be silly, huh?

@darkspine10

Exactly! My baby girl’s come so far. I like what you mentioned about her telling Garnet, too - she’s very hesitant and seems to have to force herself to bring things to light. She knows exactly where Pearl’s mindset is, and she’s probably found herself in Pearl’s shoes (or at least, considering it) before. 

@captainjzh

Ohh, you’re right! They inadvertently reaffirmed Homeworld’s negative views on fusion. Poor Garnet has really had her identity challenged heavily lately.

Oh, for sure. I likened it back to her being stabbed back in Steven the Sword Fighter because, well, that’s exactly how it feels, isn’t it? Like a dagger right to the gut. 

That was a beautiful stretch of animation, though. They nailed every expression, down to the trembling and distant, empty stare. 

@haunted-meat

Well said. I didn’t touch on the double meaning with the title, but it wasn’t lost on me. Do you think Pearl is, somehow, subconsciously reaching out for help? Or is this just the final push to her personal rock bottom so she can start climbing back out?

Proposed nicknames for the new Gems from the promo: Blockhead and Floaty.

some people are calling the winged one “butterfly gem”

Maybe she just wanted a butt

To compensate for how small she was, lol
