#garnet ask

[mysticplies]

Didi you have any Blue Garnet? and If have, What's Her Name and Role?

Blue garnet is a color change garnet. My idea is that she is shy and conceited, but when her gem color changes she becomes cheerful and outgoing. Like all garnets they are commanders of certain colonies

“At least it's not ferociously attacking God quite as directly as Steven Universe did…”

Not that I’m surprised by this statement, but can you elaborate on this? Kinda intrigued by your thoughts on Steven Universe.

Okie dokie, you’re not the only one who has asked me about this, so I suppose I’ll poke the hornet’s nest. 😅 I haven’t talked about this before because I assumed that everyone who wanted to hear my kinds of opinions on stories wasn’t watching or interested in Steven Universe.

It’s like asking vegetarian if they enjoyed a turkey dinner. The turkey dinner was so obviously not made for vegetarians to enjoy, so why would the vegetarian even bother analyzing the turkey?

But I think if some people are asking me why I think Steven Universe is anti-God (of the Bible) its because maybe they don’t know what the turkey is. Not completely. (Maybe not you, because like you said, you’re not surprised by my comment.) So I’ll explain my thoughts on Steven Universe.

If you’re just following me because you liked some stuff I posted, but didn’t realize that I’m a Bible-believing Christian and don’t want to hear about it, unfollow me now. Because I’m going to talk about some hot button issues here and the trolls will come out.

Steven Universe is really well-done. The jokes are funny, the writing is believable, the characters have great chemistry, great design, the concept is fascinating, the slow build-up and reveal of the plot elements is great. But when you watch the throne room scene in the last episode of Season 5 “Change Your Mind,” it’s alarmingly clear how much the whole show is not just settling for defending and championing the LGBTQ+ worldview—it goes all the way to attacking what Christians believe, on the other side.

Anything that’s pro-LGBTQ+ is doing that by default, but this show goes out of its way to do that.

You have to understand: God created and designed us. Deeper than that; He created and designed romantic relationships, and invented marriage. He didn’t just create love—He is love. So when humans come along and do what we’ve always done since the fall, and say, “I’d rather define what Your thing is and how it works for myself, God,” it’s not only an incredible slap in the face, it’s an attack on God’s actual identity—and it’s destructive for us and the people around us. Like a fish insisting it can breathe oxygen.

But Steven Universe goes beyond that. It knows that the Christian worldview is it’s biggest opposition. It digs right down to the heart of the worldview-battle. LGBTQ+ worldview says, “I should get to love what I want and be who I am, because I’m me. Love is love. (By which I mean, any action or relationship I choose to call love is love, because I’m the one calling it that.)”

Biblical worldview says “No, wait, you shouldn’t base your decisions on you alone; what you want changes day to day, and you’re broken, so you can’t ever be satisfied based on what you want—the Bible says God made you for something, and you rejected that, and it broke you. You’re not how you’re meant to be: even what you want and what you think love is is twisted up and can hurt you and others. But if you submit to God He’ll help you, He’ll fix what’s broken and give you new life by making you how you were supposed to be: He’ll live in you and through you.”

Are we beginning to get the picture?

See, the whole thing with the opposing views between LGBTQ+ and Christian people is as old as time. It’s not a new debate. It’s Satan and Eve in the garden. She says, “This is not how God said things should be,” and Satan says, “Are you sure that’s what He said? He knows if you do this thing, you’ll be like Him. You’ll be god: you’ll get to decide ‘how things should be’ for yourself.”

He lied and said that disobedience would satisfy her. That she knew what her own heart needed better than the God that made it did. That the very act of being imperfect would make her godlike.

And then Steven Universe comes along and says “if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hotdogs.”

And has a cast of created being characters who’s imperfections (Garnet’s forbidden “love,” Pearl’s obsession, Amethyst’s insecurity) are supposedly “the best thing about them; what makes them who they are.”

And has a main character who used to be a part of the god-like creator relationship, but used her power to come down to earth and completely change who she is into a fully different person.

And has a godlike Creator character who claims she “doesn’t need” her created beings (just like the God of the Bible) but they all have a little part of their creator in them so she has to repress their imperfections; she holds them all to a standard that’s impossible to reach called “perfection” and punishes them when they don’t meet it even though it hurts them to try; she expects them all to do what they were created by her for; she fixes them when they can’t meet her standard by shining her light through them and making them extensions of their Creator.

And has a main character who argues, fights back, tries to stop her, and is answered with lines that sound surprisingly like what LGBTQ+ people hear when Christians argue with them: “you’re only making things worse; you’re just deceiving yourself; even while you resist it your actual light can’t help shining through,” etc.

White Diamond just wants everything to be perfect. Like her. She just wants her created beings to “be themselves.” But what she means is, be how she created them to be.

And she’s the bad guy. She’s playing God in this show, and Rebecca Sugar is saying, “If God is telling us that can only be happy by being perfect, as He is perfect, and doing what He created us to do, then He’s wrong. Our imperfections are what make us special—unique—individuals—free—and there is nobody who has the right to take that freedom away from us, not even out creator!”

And you know what?

If God were like White Diamond, like Rebecca Sugar believes Him to be, Steven Universe would be right.

But He is NOT.

God is not a dictator who forces us to conform to a standard of perfection and then smashes us when we don’t meet it. He is a King who made us perfect to begin with, and we rejected him, because He allowed us to do that. He knew that true love was love that had to be chosen, and He wanted us to love Him by choice, so he gave us the option. But Rebecca Sugar doesn’t understand—there was never “Choose God or Choose Yourself.” There was only, “Choose God or Choose Nothing.” There was nothing except God. Then He created everything. There is no version of reality where you have something better than God, or even slightly less good but different, to pick. You’re not jumping from one ship into a smaller one, but at least it’s yours—you’re jumping from one ship into a void, and then complaining that there’s no other ship. That’s humans. That’s not God. / White Diamond didn’t make her creations perfect (Amethyst) and she didn’t make them for love. She made them for power. That’s not the God of the Bible.

Even when we did choose to try and love ourselves instead of God, and therefore warped our ability to perfectly love at all, He didn’t smash us. True, everything fell and was cursed, which is exactly what He warned us would happen if we chose it, but it was a natural consequence of breaking ourselves. And then He didn’t leave us that way. He didn’t give up on us. And He certainly didn’t just zap us, snap His fingers, quick-fix it and turn us all into robots who are extensions of Him, who say they love Him but only because it’s His voice puppeting us to say it.

No. He came to us, chose to give up His life at the exact point on the timeline when Romans, masters in the art of slow, humiliating, torturous death, would be the ones to carry out His crucifixion, and saved us Himself. Through the sacrifice of His own life. And even then, we still have a choice. We get to choose to accept that incredible self-sacrifice when we don’t deserve it, and be given new life and a relationship with the Creator who knows us and loves us better than we can love ourselves or receive love from others—OR we can just keep stubbornly insisting that our slavery to the opposite of what God wants is somehow freedom, and our twisted versions of love are genuine, and we’re not broken, and die like that. Die broken creatures who lived their whole lives stomping their feet and screaming “I’m not a creature, I’m a god!”

White Diamond sacrifices nothing, because Rebecca Sugar doesn’t know the God of the Bible. She just knows her idea of Him. She’s never actually gotten to know Him. If she had, she’d learn how silly and twisted her idea is.

Because you know what, yeah, if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs. But people aren’t pork chops. And hot dogs have flavor (not better than pork chops) but they are awful for you.

Christians aren’t perfect cuts of meat with no individuality or flavor. Just because we all know and love the same God doesn’t mean we have no personalities. It just means we don’t think so freaking much about what we are, or who we get to be, or what we like and want. Jeez, what a self-centered, narcissistic, self-obsessed way to live. She plays Steven like he’s this wonder-child, innocent and full of heart, who encourages his friends to love and keep trying. But honestly?

This is very pretty animation but it’s not real. Steven looks happy hugging Steven but self-love doesn’t ultimately get you that.

That’s all based on the premise that what he’s encouraging them to do is actually good, and will make them happy, and will help them love better. And it just won’t. Not in real life. That’s not how any of this works. Self-love is just self-obsession. And that is a sure-fire way to hurt you, and everyone around you.

You’ll never be free by choosing to run to a worse master. You’ll never be satisfied with your crappy attempts at loving yourself, because you were made to be loved flawlessly and forever by someone who is Love Himself.

And choosing to identify with your imperfections doesn’t make you uniquely you. It just makes you exactly like every other human being marching in the same line since the Fall.

White Diamond’s not relational. She’s up high and distant. That’s not God. He made you to be in relationship with Him. He loves you, totally and perfectly, and He proved it by sacrificing for You.

So yeah. That’s the problem with Steven Universe. Come get me, SU fans.

My Weapon concept for WD!Steven X Garnet fusion!

Click for better quality / Кликните для хорошего качества

Steven from @ask-whitepearl-and-steven made by @thechekhov, more specifically.

Info under the cut / Подробности дальше

I drew it in CorelDraw, and what can I say... I'm not drawing anything in Corel by my own will again.

Рисовал я в CorelDraw, и что я могу сказать... В кореле я больше по своей воле ничего рисовать не буду.

It can change length of both its segments, just like Steven's staff does, and gauntlets can be detached if needed, for example to reveal a sharp spike, or to be thrown at enemy! in this scenario two additional effects also take place: Garnet's rocket gauntlets and Steven's energy blast!

Как и посох Стивена Это оружие может менять длину, а перчатки можно отсоединить, чтобы обнажить острый шип или запустить их во врага! В последнем случае также активируются сразу две способности: ракетные перчатки Гранат и Энергетический выстрел Стивена!

I haven't figured out what the fusion themselves would be like, but I imagine them to swing it around like a VERY heavy kung-fu stick and sometimes use it as a hammer.

Как само слияние выглядит я так и не придумал, но я представляю, что оно бы сражалось этим оружием в основном как кунг-фу палкой, только ОЧЕНЬ тяжелой, иногда используя его как молот.

Fun fact: I got this idea more than a year ago, on Aug 15, 2022! (no idea why I remember this lol) At some point I was even scared that by the time I finish this Steven and Garnet will already fuse in the comic XD Забавно, но этой идее уже больше года! Она пришла мне в голову 15 августа 2022 года! (Без понятия почему я это помню хввх) Какое-то время я даже боялся, что к тому моменту, когда я это доделаю, Стивен и Гранат уже сольются XD

I also got some ideas for Steven X Rose, so maybe I'll draw this too sometime! But not soon.

У меня также есть пара идей о слиянии Стивена и Розы, так что может быть когда-нибудь я и это нарисую. Но не скоро.

New Muses Dropping!!

Introducing the D&D OC Wisp Whiteshadow, a Half-Oni Trickster Rogue—and the RWBY OC Garnet Foxx, an aptly-named Red Fox Faunus and OnlyFauns star

And, yes, I am taking questions about them~

[spookyteeth]

Hi! Can you draw like a math equation for garnet? Like, "Ruby + Sapphire = Garnet" kinda thing?

here you go!! thank you for being patient!!

eughhh i've never drawn steven universe characters, bare with me

[slcepily]

Based on that recent drawing you did with estranged Steven and pink, is the idea sort of based on cyberpunk 2077 where something sort of similar happens with V and Johnny silverhand since Pink looks sorta like a holographic ghost considering her gem isn't on her? I assume the idea is different since unlike V and Johnny, anyone can pink

I’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 but from the sounds of it I assume it’s something like that? The idea is Steven’s gem along with all the information that created him is perfectly intact but Pink has been reset within it and now it’s projecting her body nearby since Steven is in the way

If i’m interpreting the last sentence of your ask right though yes Pink is perfectly visible to everyone

[mysticplies]

looking back the series and light games established a few inconsistent details about gem culture. pearl owning seems random and arbitrary, shattering was very common despite rejuvenators existing as well as shattered gems being able to be restored, there were many light prisms but seems to now be limited to just 3 owned by a few legendary garnets who were apparently not good enough for pearls, the resource crisis which affected peridots and I guess some garnets(I didn't like that addition)

Well I wouldn't say gems being restored was a thing. I believe they shattered gems once rejuvenation failed multiple times such as rhodonites components always managing to fall in love again.

Ya it's really weird how it was stated that there are a lot of pearls on homeworld but gems such as the garnets who are implied to be right under the diamonds have no ownership of any pearl. Well, it was only confirmed Hessonite doesn't have a pearl however, I like to think she did have one or she was a new garnet but lost the privilege to own one since she lost one of the three light prisms 0_0.

I theorized back then that the resource crisis impacted tall gems the most since they became smaller than their required height. But its hard to believe the diamonds kept an off colored Garnet and even trusted her with a light prism.

[pocket-gems]

would you be interested in doing a Rosolite?(a pink grossular garnet that as far i can tell nobody else has done yet)

She was Pink's

[sweeterbeens-askblog]

Can you do Ruby and Sapphire kissing under the mistletoe then fusing into Garnet?

I love garnet. Definitely one of my favorite genders
