#gem knight Crystal

[jade-knows-how-to-read]

Day two of forcing myself to draw- Gem-Knight Crystal. I kinda messed up the perspective on his body but he’s not awful. Just wait. Eventually I’ll get him looking sufficiently surly.

This is a question you may delete if it doesn't interest you.

If such a thing as a "knight pride flag" existed, what colors would it have?

I mean like a flag to display the pride of being a knight, not necessarily the flag an actual knight would carry around to bear arms or whatever.

There's no better Knight Pride flag than the one that's been flown for 5000 years, anon.

Rookie, or The Rook is a Topaz Dragonborn raised by wretched kobolds out on a black lake. He's a little confused about who or what they are, but they seek an answer to that question out in the Lost Country.

Gem-Knight Crystal

“A Gem-Knight officer of high rank, who has optimized the use of crystal powers. Despite his ability to overwhelm most opponents, he’s wary of stretching himself too thin, and opts for solidarity with his comrades.”

You disturbed my sleep. Just as I was having a nice nap, too.

Jet, the lone knight of Earth!

Jet is my Steven Universe character. Male and bisexual, he/him!

His gem’s meant to be on his back, but it got torn out while getting out of his hole back in the Kindergarten he came from.

Jet came from the same Kindergarten that Amethyst came from! They’re old friends, but don’t see each other that often since Amethyst is with the Crystal Gems.

Jet’s weapon is a large sword, black white and red! The jewel on it (of course, a jet) glimmers like the moon!

Jet’s suit of armour is supposedly impenetrable, nothing has gotten past him… Except for warmth…

“ As a gemless being, Jet is the only male gem on Earth so far! Being Amethyst’s closest friend for years, Jet still yearns for adventure… “

Fuse with me!!! (Except with ALL THE CRYSTAL GEMZ!!!!)

SEND “FUSE WITH ME!” AND I’LL TELL YOU | Accepting!

What type of gem we’d make: All The Crystal Gems ( Classic Garnet, Classic Amethyst, Classic Pearl, Classic Steven) ( Alt Garnet, Alt Amethyst, Alt Pearl, Alt Rose and Steven Squared) = MEGA OBSIDIAN

Personality: Protective, Monstrous, Battle Ready, also a little silly

Stability of Fusion: Despite their being twice as many gems in the fusion, it takes a great deal of trust to maintain the fusion, head full of thoughts unable to talk but has great communication with body language.

Height of the fusion (in comparison to other characters):

Peony knows how to sew clothes, so she shows a variety of cloak styles to their sister. Lovecraft did not want the very fluffy cloak, but I got stuck with indecision on what cloak Lovecraft would want, so I asked my friend Sylvia which one should I go with. Soprano got the blue fluffy cloak.

There is an autumnal feast, and then a month or so passes while Lovecraft and peony live with their mantis friend to hold out through the winter. They also ate all of his food at the very beginning of it. Seems their going through something big.

"but if it were me, I'd really wanna be, a giant woman"

stevens relationship with gender is so fascinating to me. his entire diamond days arc is a clear trans allegory, but more specifically reads as a transmasc allegory, what with everyone reffering to him as "rose" or "pink" and feminine terms despite his repeated insistence that he is *steven*. and yet he never actually corrects anyone when they use she/her. he only corrects his name. this was pointed out in the tags of that one post youve probably seen:

this post doesnt show it, but steven is delighted when blue said this. obviously you can read this as steven being glad that shes making an effort, even if incorrect, and is just choosing to let the wrong pronouns slide. but its never explicitly stated. and like i said, he never corrects she/her, he only corrects his name. although it is interesting that, by the time the movie rolls around, the diamonds have switched to he/him.

its also interesting to mention how excited he was to put on pink diamonds outfit, and also how quickly he took it off once he got the chance.

of course stevens relationship with his mother and his identity issues are going to play a big part in how he percieves his gender, given that for a large chunk of the show he actually belived they were the same person, at least to some extent. ("im my mom and my sister?! what kind of magical destiny is this?!). how would you define your "agab" when half your family is telling you that you are a centuries old alien called rose/pink who has no sex and used she/her? not to mention all of the various gender identities and pronouns his fusions have.

thats not even getting started on how the gems percieve gender, which is to say, they generally don't. gems are sexless beings and their society has no concept of gender, although after spending a long time on earth im sure the crystal gems have a better understanding (i actually could talk about the gems relation to human gender a lot more but ill save that for another time). for steven, a child raised by gems for a good chunk of his childhood- who use feminine terms as a default-i can see how that would lead to some interesting perceptions on gender presentation.

thats not even getting into stevens gender noncomformity. and while gender presentation doesnt necessarily have anything to do with your gender identity, its interesting to note and i just think its really cool that a male protagonist is so unapologetically feminine

also i could talk for days about connie and stevens knight/princess dynamic, and how it parallels pearl and roses, but in a healthier way that nips the whole "obssesive self sacrifice" thing in the (rose) bud as soon as steven notices it. but then id have to talk about pearl and then wed be here all day lol

so yeah, stevens relationship with gender fascinates me. I mean, does the concept of "cisgender" even apply in the way we usually mean it to, given stevens unique experiences?

Does Rook ever just "watch" twisted anxiety reader ?? I feel like he just enjoys the reactions that comes out of the reader.

the moment rook noticed reader slow down during PE was when he got a new target🤭

(rook is gonna get introduced very soon!)

it was enviable becoming rook's next watch target. silly reader! did you really think you'd be safe from people's watchful eyes in the sanctuary of ramshackle? your room?

non non non!

ofc rook loves to watch yuu. he finds them as beautiful as a stem of grass. how they go whichever way the wind takes them with gusto and elegance. how no matter how violently the wind whips them around they'll always be surrounded, always be supported by their fellow blades of grass. winter may be hard, like the obstacles they face! they may get stepped on, trampled and abused. but they'll always stand tall no matter what the cruelness of winter throttles at them. and when the spring rolls around, there's more blades of grass this time. they all get stronger and stronger, forever nonyielding to any adversities.

as much as they were a fortress, they were also a home. insects and bugs alike call grassy plains home. what may seem like meters to us could be miles for them. the grass are smaller trees, rook would joke in French whenever he got the chance.

overbold after overbold, rook was more surprised than the last at their perseverance, just like that of a single blade of grass.

and yet, you were something else entirely.

you were a donkey.

non non non!! that is something you should be ashamed of!

donkeys are de toute beauté creatures! (rook is actually more offended than you were when you got upset he compared you to a donkey)

listen dear y/n! donkeys are peaceful creatures that do not need your narrow mindedness around them. they're doing their best and that's more than anyone else can do.

would you rather be friends with a show horse or a donkey?

if you say show horse rook can see why. they're beautiful, elegant, majestic creatures compared to the latter. they're the models of the mammal species.

and yet, show horses are vain, egoistical divas who are known to kick and prank their trainers. quite literally bite the hand that feeds them.

yes you feel good being around it, but when push comes to shove, they care more about their manes than yours.

donkeys, to others, may be less physically appealing than the mighty knights stead, and yet by live stock handlers are much more beloved.

donkeys, albeit enthused creatures, are sensitive, kind, are known to make incredibly strong bonds. they're loyal creatures, once befriending a donkey you have a friend for life. where you walk they walk, when you cry they cry.

donkey's do not have manes so they do not care for them.

donkeys are very social animals, it is strongly advised of rhyme to not be solo as they become incredibly distressed and depressed when not in the company of their loved ones.

and dear reader, he must call you a donkey because have you SEEN your-

*rook is thrown in horny jail*

but rook is definitely one to appreciate the hidden gems of the world. and with his (and vil's) help he could make you shine! hiding uncut gems is an addictive feeling, but being able to shape and mend those rocks into crystals- that's what rook loves.

he wants everyone else to see the beauty that is you the beauty that you keep locked away in a hidden tower inside your heart. thick vines and unkept underbrush scatter along the walls of stone, titanium, and glass guard your tower.

rook will do what he must to get that box inside the tower, under the bed. he will do whatever it takes to open that box and show the world it's contents.

so why don't you join him for lunch? dear y/n.

and if the world turns it away he'll happily nuzzle it. as you always say: more for me!

uh, but to answer the question: yes. rook does watch twisted anxiety reader. it's apart of his schedule. he especially loves their unpredictability.

you have a class today, will you make it? or will you skip it again? if you skip it, then that's okay!

there's a few times where you've made him pause to think. but there were other times you were so painfully predictable. so painfully predictable that he felt perverted when he guessed the time you were gonna go to the library. only to see you walk in through the heavy oak doors not a second too late nor early.

and oh my god he loves watching reader's reactions. this mf would keep a track sheet 😭

would you continue playing the role of l'agneau, or would you let your fangs peek through your wooly disguise in hopes that the others wouldn't realize.

rook (and admittedly a few others) want to put you under a microscope.

poor reader would never leave ramshackle again if they found out! it works out for rook that the reader thinks they're unremarkable, it really does. cause it keeps them 'grounded' and in their own little buule! so he doesn't have to worry about any outside forces or them thinking a little too hard about their shadow.

Part 2 of the Hollow Knight x In Stars and Crossover art! Part 1 with Siffrin and Loop here! and Part 3 with Isabeau and Mirabelle here!

edit: part 4 with (Redacted) and Mal Du Pays!

Bonnie and Odile, easily my favorites in the game!! I've had to cheat a little with HK design standards in both, but I think they're both pretty good.

Notes below, once again possible spoilers for both games -

Bonnie was easily the hardest, because most bugs have built-in hats in their shells, and that would remove a lot of expressiveness which to me was the most important part to preserve in them. So, I went with a rare Shrumal Warrior wearing clothes!

Not being in Hallownest, there's no Infection to worry about, so maybe their fungal colony managed to develop further into distinctive clothing. To compensate for not having their boots or hair, I also added a Stalwart Shell charm for the outfit; it's a store charm so there might be more copies out there, and no doubt everyone in the team would agree to have them keep that at all times.

Odile was fun to play with. While the side hair was changed into something like Herrah's head cover, making her a mantis just felt right. Hell, maybe in this universe she is from Hallownest, since the mantises can resist the Infection and there's ample chance to grab some Crystal Peak shards on her way out.

And, since there's no books in that universe (a stack of silk parchment felt too messy), her main magic tools are a Soul Gem as the brooch and an engraved stone tablet, like the wanderer's journals. She's not a snail, so I guess she wouldn't have ways to channel Soul otherwise.
