"That Really Happened?!" DC Comics Tournament Entry #14

Domestic Abuse Ghost Possession

[ID: Two page comic spread of a giant Sinestro head smiling with tongue wrapped around Green Lantern John Stewart's leg. Figures below pose in anguish and dark buildings appear in the background. John yells, "You're dead, Sinestro!" To which Sinestro replies, "Not any more!" /END ID]

What Happened?

Jesus. Okay. SO green lantern: mosaic is already a really weird comic. The creator (who we don't talk abt and also was in prison until a couple of years ago) literally said (paraphrase) "Mosaic is the book I write when I get confused writing my other books". Like bro. Anyways it follows John Stewart (Green Lantern) as he tries to establish a peaceful society between a bunch of species (humans included) taken from their homeworlds and forced to coexist on this plant. Standard comic plot. NORMAL, even. Or so you'd think.

It's revealed that John is being possessed a times (blacking out) by the ghost of Old Timer, an evil Guardian (so like a smurf looking alien) who brought all the people to the mosaic in the first place. Plot-wise this still makes sense, GL: Mosaic is a spin off and this whole plot was kind of established in the main comic. It makes sense.

AND THEN YOU GET ISSUE NO. 3. John is inexplicably in a relationship with this woman Rose. This happens completely off panel and without explanation (although they did have some chemistry in the main GL title, it was a very complicated dynamic and there was even a joke about them NOT being in a relationship) [the joke was that rose's town was super scandalized bc they thought she was dating John (because aaaaghhhhh interracial relationship or whatever [this is like 1992] and shes from rural West Virgina and was all like no guys its not LIKE that (but like it actually wasnt)) so idk that was a thing that happened

But ANYWAYS in Mosaic #3 John and Rose are dating for some reason???? And then he picks her up and flies up and then drops her and laughs as she screams and falls. He also kicks her around and like beats her up in front of her son while she pleads with him to stop. So VERY much domestic abuse 👍love some absolutely insane fucking mischaracterization what the actual hell. Also he keeps using weird nicknames like calling her Rosie and himself Johhny or Daddy while possessed(?) SO I don't fucking know what that was the fuck

Anyways it's then revealed that this behavior was because of the GHOST! who could have thunk? However instead of the ghost CANONICALLY inside his head that was literally possessing him THE ISSUE BEFORE, turns out it was SINESTRO'S GHOST! how the fuck did he get in johns head you may ask? I could not tell you! He's just there! At this point I'm wondering what the actual fuck is going on and also how many ghosts are possessing John Stewart. Like HONESTLY. I've either entirely lost the plot by now or am just in shock over what is happening. Likely both.

Anyways John goes in his brain to fight the Sinestro ghost (who like ties him up with his tongue and calls him boy (and Sinestro daddy this time) and all sorts of insanely weird awful stuff) And then his girlfriend (who he ISNT DATING) forgives him because "it was the ghost". Absolutely incomprehensible arc. This happened in ONE ISSUE of this comic. The first ghost is not mentioned at all during this story

Also the worst thing abt this whole ordeal is that this is a spin off of an arc in the main GL title which was actually REALLY FUCKING GOOD. like it was great, I loved it. And yet somehow the author (may he die gruesomely) managed to forget what HE HIMSELF WROTE and all knowledge of characterization and turn his hero into a horribly mischaracterized domestic abuser in a plot thay makes no sense.also there was def some racist wack ass shit going on with this fr. The whole comic is honestly an ego trip for the writer it makes no fucking sense and every letter page is just two pages of him talking directly to the readers and telling them how smart he is. This is issue 3 and is as far as i got. Listen to me and do not read this comic

Crisis Company goes to a Formal! [+Kix]

Mary Ann took them all 'Individually' (looking at you, Lake and Torch) clothes shopping and gets them tailored. Imagine the purple is generally velvet, excluding the armor, and Kix's sash is satin. I cannot be bothered to render fabric at the moment.

If Cynic looks a bit like a whore (affectionate) to be going to a formal, it's because Margo was nervous about how much skin her dress showed and so he said 'bet.' What a good brother.

If Nihlus' outfit looks a bit weird and lumpy, well, he really wasn't supposed to wear the hauberk under it. But he's paranoid.

The thing on Sprigs chest is supposed to be conceptually reminiscent of a bull skull, with the horns being made of a stiff fabric. I like how it turned out.

Heron could not be bothered to find a pair of shoes that would both fit over both his legs, and be the right height to keep his hips even. (someone introduce this man to canes) so he just wore his plate.

Lake and Torch are wearing their chest pieces, and gauntlets, because Torch is also paranoid. But they actually told the tailor and it was designed into the outfit. Their hoods are meant to be slightly different, the twins thrive on being just almost completely identical. It's just a cherry on top that makes it all the more sweeter when someone fucks up and mixes them.

The entire company are (lovingly) corralling Nihlus and Kix apart for the whole night. Kix is annoyed that he cant dissapear with the sith and make good on his "Id rather see that sash on my floor" When Kix asked how he looked. It's just too bad he said it in front of the whole company, who let them nowhere near a closet. If they all had to stay here, so did the couple.

Anyways heres the only Exerpt I have that even minimally relates to the party cause I haven't even planned it out yet.

He jumped as the door slid open behind him, interrupting his brooding spiral. Kix walked in behind him, obviously not really awake, and leaned over and kissed the top of Nihlus head as he stumbled past to the toilet, mumbling something completely unintelligible. The sentiment translated easy enough for Nihlus though, touch telepath. 

Hello, beloved  

Kix stumbled past again as he finished his business, not even bothering to make a full kiss this time, just bumping their heads together, before he headed back to bed.

Love you

Maybe, Nihlus thought as he watched Kix curl back up, He should just let himself enjoy something for once.

Later, though.

He didn’t think he’d be able to fall asleep again at the moment, too wired from the weeks of constant running and fighting. So, he quietly replaced his armor, and went looking for something to eat. If he remembered correctly from before he had been sucked into spacetime, the caf should have just gotten a shipment of HGR-1210 non-enriched vegetarian mre rations. There may have been a slight hop to his step as he made his way down. 1210 was tomato soup. It may not have been his most absolute favorite meal ever, but the humble tomato was the only vegetable he had ever encountered that both resembled and tasted like any of the fruit cultivars found on his home planet. 

He had to scoff to himself at the irony of it, the presence of a food so close to that of his past, of his homeworld, after Kix had literally just been there. But he wasn’t going to complain too much. Something other than crackers was always pleasant. Maybe after the war he’d take Kix back to the homeworld for some decent food. At least, he hoped the homeworld would still have fruit like he had known. If pears still existed and tasted mostly the same as he remembered, surely the others would too? It wouldn’t be terribly much of a chore if the cultivars had changed much since he had been gone, even if five thousand years was a long time, especially for crops. Thats what the hidden section of the seed vault portion of his archive was for. The most annoying thing would be the fruit trees, some taking decades before first bloom, but it wouldn't be difficult. Actually, those were probably the least likely to have changed, anyways.

The first thing he noticed upon entering the caf was that it was emptier than usual, and the second thing was the line of plastic folding tables lined up against the back wall. A couple of troopers stopped and grabbed something or another from them before moving on. It smelled… sweet from a distance, like sweet bread. With a gulp at the sudden watering in his mouth, he strolled up to the tables. There were so many platters of pastries scattered across the tables, although he would guess the lunch rush had come and gone, as many of them were mostly empty. Probably should grab a couple before he goes, everything else would probably be gone by the time Kix woke up. He bet he’d want some.

After getting his cup of soup, Nihlus snagged one of the little paper plates and began contemplating what the medic would want. He knew for a fact Kix liked sticky buns so he’d probably grab one of those. One of those mini cakes too, maybe? And one of those scones, for when he woke up. So at least he could make the excuse that it was for breakfast. As Nihlus reached for a bun a womans voice behind him said

“You can’t have those”

Okay, well, that wasn’t going to stop him from taking them but, 

“Why? Are they… for a party or something?” he asked as he turned around to face whoever had talked to him. He had to crane his neck up to make eye contact with her, damn she was tall. She wasn’t wearing armor though, just a purple apron, dark hair tied up in two poofs. 

“What?” She gave him a confused expression for a second before a look of realization dawned on her face, “oh, no, I mean you can’t have those. Nihlus, right? Mandalorian in red, glowing eyes, short. I was told to look out for you. Pretty much everything here has some combination of eggs and butter and milk in it. Actually I brought in something for you, specifically. Seemed like it would be rude to do all this for the crew and leave out the resident healer” She said with a chuckle as she turned to go get… whatever it was

Right, of course. Specifically for him. Pastries… on the Resolute. Someone catering pastries on the Resolute. The military cruiser. Who knew him. Who he couldn't really get a read on in the force. Why couldn’t he get any read on her?

Hello??? Who the hell was this woman?

He jogged to catch up to her. “Uh, who are you?” 

She stopped and turned to him with a curious expression, “You don’t know? Can’t just... Tell?” Her orange eyes narrowed at him playfully, “And Jet said you were a good mind reader”

And, well. He did try to press, and still found… nothing. Not just a shielded mind but… nothing. No force presence whatsoever. She just stood there, grinning down at him, sharp canine teeth on full display. 

Oh. OH. Nihlus started laughing, he couldn’t believe it took him so long to figure it out. Gurlanin

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person, Mary Ann” he said with a grin, “Sorry I was just expecting someone more…  wolf like? Which is stupid, I know” he said, pausing to raise his hands in defense, “Shapeshifters, I know. Didn’t know we were near Coruscant, though” 

“It’s great to meet you too,” She replied, before she raised a brow at him, face a little concerned, “You don’t know where you are? You alright?” 

He rubbed at his eyes with a sigh, “Who knows. It’s been a little crazy for me lately. So, you’re catering for the republic?”

She gestured for him to walk with her as she talked, “No, actually, I’m catering for the Resolute specifically. You all pulled in to port a day or so ago, figured I’d do something nice for the people keeping my mates alive.”

“Plural? Margo finally admitted to it huh?”

She grinned at him as she kneeled down and pulled out an entire bag of cookies from her cart, handing it to him. An entire bag of cookies. For him? 

“Yea, Jet managed to work it out of her, after you tattled” she replied as she continued to rummage around in her cart for… something. It was strange to not just know what she was thinking. Not unheard of, just… strange. 

Nihlus scoffed, folding his arms as he leaned back. He was afraid of the freak that the cookies would bring out in him if he started to eat them in public, so he figured he’d wait, at least for a little while. No one needed to see him stuff a full bag of cookies the size of his face into his face.

“It’s not tattling, it’s meddling. Tattling implies I didn’t have a specific goal in mind when I told him” 

She laughed at that, throwing her head back, “Well thanks for the meddling. They both make me very happy. Here, I saved these for your beau, Jet said you said he liked them” and she handed him a full plate of sticky buns. 

He looked down at them before meeting her gaze again with a skeptical expression, “Trying to make it a trio? He might try to marry you for this. Which is a shame cause I like, really like this guy” 

“Ha, no. Not Kix” She replied with a snort as she stood up, “I think I’ll have my hands full with my pair and dealing with the chaos company, anyways”

“Crisis company”

“Yea they do cause their fair share of those” 

He narrowed his eyes at her, “Theres a story there”

She smirked back at him, “Maybe I’ll tell you over dinner? Jet said you’re all on shore leave for two weeks? I bet we could all find time for a double date.”

That explained the weirdly empty caf, “At like… a fancy restaurant though? I don’t think any of us have anything to wear besides armor. Or money, either.” 

At least he didn’t really have much at the moment, he thought as he rubbed the back of his neck. 

“Yea, it’s fancy” She said flippantly before smiling with that barred tooth grin, “But I own it, and I would love to see some of those stuffy ass politicians squirm when they realize they're eating next to a real mandalorian. And we have many wines, some are even of a decent vintage” she finished loftily, studying her nails with feigned aloofness before she grinned at him once more

“Well in that case, we would love to join you” 

“Awesome! Also, I’m taking the entire squad out clothes shopping because I actually have a formal event I want you all to come to later this week. You can even bring your boy-toy to both. Don’t worry,” She started before he could say anything, “I know a guy who does armored casual, He could probably even find you something to fit over the chainmail”

“Hauberk,” he corrected absentmindedly as he tilted his head, hand on his chin, “Jet has it in the schedule?”

“Of course,” She replied, “I’m sure he probably wanted to tell you himself, but he should have been faster than that”

I want to know everything about this new AU, everything about it is just perfect! Id love to hear more of your headcannons!

thank you so much, I really love it too!! and I would love to share some headcanons, thank you for asking!

more Madoka headcanons:

- she’s about a head shorter than a standard rose quartz soldier. her colors are also in the very pale end of the color spectrum for her kind. she doesn’t quite deviate enough from the others to be considered off-color and her powers work just fine, but her differences did make her insecure while she was in Homeworld’s ranks. joining the Crystal Gems and learning that there’s nothing wrong with being different changed her life.- she looked up to Rose Quartz a great deal and saw her as a role model, hence her similar dress. Homeworld had expected her to be a tough, no-nonsense soldier, which never felt right, so seeing someone who was seemingly just like her be soft and kind and caring inspired her to want to be the same way.- like in canon, she also looked up to Mami and admired her for her determination to help others.- in battle, she would often fuse with Sayaka or Mami. it helped her feel more confident.- she spent a lot of time collecting gem shards after battles, determined to bring the dead home where they could rest.- when she was corrupted, she turned into a similar monster to the other quartzes, and in her healed form she has the same horns that they do, as well as having her eyes no longer be visible.

more Sayaka headcanons:

- she wanted to learn how to make her own swords, but never got around to it, so she settled for taking really good care of the swords she was gifted instead.- because of her weak hydrokinesis, she mostly uses her water wings to assist in long jumps instead of taking proper flight.- during the war, she spent a lot of time hanging out with humans and at one point fell in love with one of them. however, she never told him, and before she found the courage to, he settled down with another human. she mostly kept away from humanity after that, afraid that it would happen again.- at one point late in the war, she was close to giving up and would frequently wonder if it would be best if the Earth was destroyed so everyone would stop fighting over it. what brought her back from this mentality was Kyoko finally joining the Crystal Gems - Sayaka realized that if even someone as bitter and violent as Kyoko could change for the better because of what she’d been through on Earth, then maybe all the misery was worth it in the end.- when she and Kyoko were corrupted, their fusion turned into an absolutely massive armor fish with a giant mane. after getting uncorrupted, Sayaka retains its armored face and a few of its fins.

more Mami headcanons:

- she keeps a large amount of loaded guns stored in her gem that she crafted herself. she tends to use these instead of her summon weapon.- while teamed up with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura, she was the leader and the others followed her without question. this made her a little uncomfortable at first, since it echoed her experiences in Yellow Diamond’s court, but she soon realized that the others followed her because they genuinely trusted her to be the wisest and most competent person in the group, not because of her strength or previous rank. from then on, she worked hard to live up to their image of her and drew strength from knowing that her friends believed in her.- she’s under the impression that Kyubey doesn’t really care about her and never did, and it’s difficult for her to cope with this feeling. the two of them remain on friendly terms and spend a good amount of time together even after she set him free, but Kyubey is very open about the fact that he mostly spends time with her and the others because he finds the rebellion and the newly formed branch of gem society fascinating, and they’re the gems most willing to talk to him and tell him about their deeper reasons for doing what they do. Mami cares about him a great deal and she genuinely wants to be friends with him, but after having effectively ‘owned’ him during the time they spent on Homeworld, she feels like she has no right to ask anything of him now.- like Madoka, her corrupted form was the same beastly type as the other quartzes, and she retains the same side effects.

more Kyoko headcanons:

- her summon weapon is a giant spear.- while her physical form looks just fine for a carnelian, being made in the beta kindergarten still left a mark on her abilities; she’s unable to successfully shapeshift for more than a few seconds at a time.- she was the one who came up with the plan that ended with her and her squad committing the mistake that got the others shattered. deep down, she blames herself for their fate.- she was especially close to one of the other carnelians in her squad, whose poor creation process left her with severely limited strength. the entire squad treated her like the baby of the group, but Kyoko especially had taken it upon herself to protect her, both from their enemies and from their superiors. Kyoko took this carnelian’s shattering the hardest.- before she joined the Crystal Gems during the last days of the rebellion, she made a cruel habit of stealing gemshards from the battlefields around the world. she used them as power sources for various weaponry, and while she didn’t accumulate many in the grand scheme of things, they did give her a significant advantage when terrorizing other gems one-on-one.- after being healed, she retains the mane from hers and Sayaka’s corrupted fusion.

more Homura headcanons:

- the design she’s drawn with in the art I posted is actually her post-war form; during the war, her hair was braided and she had a visor covering the upper half of her face. while she was allied with Homeworld, she had diamond-patterns on her pants, like she does in canon.- like other pearls, her summon weapon is a spear, but she also carries a massive bow in her gem that she uses to fire her spears like arrows. she also has an artillery of human-made weaponry stored away in her gem that she’s stolen from humans over the centuries. she prefers ranged fighting.- because of her off-color gem, she lacks some of the usual abilities that pearls are programmed with. she can’t sing or dance well, and she used to be somewhat clumsy. training for battle helped her overcome her lack of coordination so she’d stand a better chance while fighting, but she still refuses to dance in front of others, so she has never fused with anyone before. she secretly wants to try it.

more Kyubey headcanons:

- back when she was his superior, Mami never really knew how to act around him or what to do with a pearl of her own, and so he was generally given more freedom than the average pearl. other gems in Yellow Diamond’s court tended to avoid him, as his independence and frank way of speaking made them uncomfortable.- he’s extremely adept at shapeshifting and uses it to sneak around unnoticed, often in the form of a butterfly, cat, or other unremarkable creature. he’s infamous among Crystal Gems for eavesdropping on other gems’ private conversations.- he’s extremely inventive and uses his long lifespan to learn about all sorts of scientific fields. he occasionally references owning a laboratory somewhere, but he never specifies where it is or what he uses it for.- his corrupted form looked somewhat similar to his canon alien design, though he of course couldn’t talk in that state. his passive nature in his original form probably contributed to his lack of aggression in his corrupted form. when he was healed, he kept his tail and his solid-red bug eyes.

the “Diamonds as social commentary” take is so boring, so let’s talk about them as a representation of the human mind instead!

no for real I couldn’t give less of a shit about the “diamonds are space nazis” take it’s cold as ice

However, it was said in a “battle of heart and mind” podcast that the Diamonds are, in part, meant to represent the Freudian structure of the mind- with Pink Diamond as the Id, Yellow and Blue as the Ego, and White as the Superego. 

This is not the only way of looking at them, and they definitely can and do represent other things as well. There are so many reads of these characters- the family angle, the stages of grief angle, the body/mind/soul angle. All are good. But I think looking at them through this lens specifically is a great way to understand why they are so incapable of functioning without Pink. And it’s a good way to understand their basic characterization as well. 

Under a cut because it’s long. 

For those less familiar with the theory, Freud came up with this idea that the mind is divided into three parts- the first is the Id is essentially unconscious and controls our most basic desires. The Id runs on impulse and raw emotion- see it, want it, get it. (”I want a colony!!”) The Superego is mostly conscious (thought not entirely), and it functions as our sense of self-control. It represents learned social norms and morality and imposes these limitations on the Id. It’s entire purpose is to keep the Id in check, but it can get out of hand. (”But you’re a part of me, the part I always have to repress.”) The Ego mediates between the two. Much of Ego functioning is part of our conscious awareness, but not all of it. The Ego is also said to be in control of our defense mechanisms, hence them originally being called “Ego defenses.” In many ways, the Ego was where most of Freud’s neuroses occurred, as the Ego was constantly under pressure from the Superego, while also fighting back against the impulses of the Id. (”I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a lot of pressure.”)

Now, Freud’s theory of the mind is...outdated. These three structures don’t actually exist in the sense that you can’t cut open a human brain and say “ah yes, there is the Ego!” But, he wasn’t entirely cracked either. Because there are legitimate brain structures that can map, albeit imperfectly, onto the Freudian idea. There’s no Id inside the human brain, but there is a deep limbic system. And there’s no Ego or Supergeo, but there is the frontal lobes and prefrontal cortex. 

This is why the Diamonds just can’t function without all four of them present. 

Pink, the Id, is entirely driven by impulse and feeling. She does what she wants, when she wants, with little regard for others. She lives to experience pleasure, and doesn’t care for the consequences- from wanting a colony without understanding what that means, to loving Earth to the point that she’d fake her own death, to flirting with humans with no regard for Pearl’s feelings, even to deciding to have a child because she wanted him to experience what she couldn’t without thought to what her loss might mean for the others. Pink seems to lack empathy because the Id lacks empathy. But the Id is still important for a human to function- we need our Id. We need our drives and desires and our basest emotions. Without them, we’re not really human.

Yellow and Blue represent two halves of a whole Ego. Without Pink, they’re two variants of neurosis- Blue is melancholic, and Yellow choleric, angry. The Ego is a hard concept to grasp but it’s why these two characters seem the most “human”, for lack of a better word. The Ego makes up the bulk of our adult personalities, so Yellow and Blue both have pretty solid senses of self. They’re the ones truly running the show for much of the series, because that’s the Ego’s job. They’re holding Homeworld together and maintaining the colonies, they’re doing everything they’re supposed to do because if they didn’t, the whole thing would crumble. They’re the defenses holding the system together. But they don’t really know how to manage with an absentee Superego and destroyed Id. So they’re neurotic. They’re out of balance. And they’re not happy, they’re not well.

And then there’s White, the Superego. She’s a very unhealthy Superego when we first meet her, and one that’s taken her role to its furthest extreme. She thinks that everything Pink is- her raw feelings and unacceptable impulses- must be repressed if they are to function. White is a perfectionist because the Superego, in its rawest form, is a perfectionist. The Superego wants order and control, it wants to suppress the Id and wants the Ego to be good and moral. It wants to be perfect. And White reflects this- she “cleanses” others of their “impurities” by erasing all their desires and senses of self. She makes them “her”- pure Superego, and nothing else. White has constructed this entire society based on her idea of perfection. And without Pink, without the Id there, she becomes the purest kind of cognition, essentially without feelings at all. 

But what White doesn’t see, is that she needs Pink. In a real human, an out of control Superego can do damage. In Freudian theory, repression was thought to be the root of all mental illness. If all Id impulses are thought of as bad, then Freud believed the Ego and the Superego turn on itself. The Ego is forced to use unhealthy defenses to keep the Superego happy, and we can wind up with all kinds of neurotic disorders- anxiety, depression, OCD, you name it. And this, we see, is what White Diamond did to Pink. And in turn, Blue and Yellow, as the Ego of the system, had to punish Pink too. They pushed her away. They were unhealthy, and only grew more so when Pink was gone.

(Again, this theory is outdated, but let’s go with it for now because this is a story.)

Without the Id, the Diamonds fall apart. Blue and Yellow are empty without her. And White isolates herself in her own head and forgets that emotions even exist. They collectively represent a whole-ass personality disorder without Pink- without access to and acceptance of their Id.

What Steven then does, as Pink’s successor, is come and say “hey, look, these things you’re trying to repress aren’t bad.” Flaws, imperfections- drives and feelings- aren’t bad things. It’s okay to have those raw emotions. They don’t have to be pushed away and they don’t make you bad. They reform so easily because with Steven, they are a whole unit again- all the pieces are back together. They need the Id, much as they tried to repress her- they need her. We all need it, because the Id isn’t bad after all. 

Unfortunately, Steven is already a fully functioning human. He doesn’t need them like they need him. I think this in part explains their sudden clinginess to him in the movie- they physically need him to be whole. But hopefully with Spinel, who’s very much like Pink in that she’s basically all Id herself- they can become whole again. Spinel will come to need them as they have needed her. In many ways she really is a replacement for Pink Diamond, but maybe not in the way we’re tempted to think. She’ll be a healthier version- an Id they now realize they won’t need to repress.

The Author

Moissanite is a Side Muse, meaning she will not take Priority on this blog. Interactions with her must be specified it’s for her.

Name: Moissanite Specific ID: Nicknames: N/A Pronouns: She/Her Height: Very Tall, roughly as tall as Hessonite Age: 18,000+ Years Sexuality: Pansexual

Affiliation: Homeworld Gem: Left Eye Weapon: Writing Utensil / Pen / Quill Abilities:

Advanced Intillect - Moissanite has been around for so long and has been a researcher / scientist for most of it. Due to this she knows a lot about gems, old gem culture, and technology from Era 1 - Mid Era 2

Photokinesis - Allows her gem to glow in the dark similar to a flashlight

Extreme Durability - Her form, like her gem, very rarely can be poofed and takes a lot for her form to give out.

Very Strong - Despite her more slim-like appearance in her legs and torso she is roughly as strong as any Quartz soldier

Standard Gem Abilities

Personality

Moissanite is cold, calculated, she does her job until it’s done. She finds Violence very trivial and pointless and prefers never to fight if she can avoid it. At best she is dismissive to most gems or will take immense interest in those who perk her interest.

Though she will not allow anyone to get in her way of what she believes must be done and will become very aggressive and confrontational if someone stands in her way.

History

Green Moissanite was an experimental gem type, an unexpected outcome of creating gems on a desolate planet’s moon. While it was seen as a waste to begin with as a moon could surely not have the right material for producing a gem considering it could not even sustain organic life. Everyone had been surprised to find not just Green Moissanite emerging but others like her but of different colors emerging from the trial kindergarten.

Perhaps it was due to the asteroids that would slam into this moon’s surface that gave it potential for creating these strong gems or it was just dumb luck that even the barest of rock can still support Gem Life. Whatever the reason may be the batch of Moissanites were very strong despite some of them being clearly off color. Stronger than most other gems that some would compare them to the Diamonds. Strong, intelligent, all around they were a force to be reckoned with but unfortunately there were only a hand full of them made as further experiments to re-create them failed.

Each one of these gems excelled in their field as they were assigned various tasks. Green Moissanite was tasked to become a researcher and gem scientist to improve the production of Gems. Moissanite would excel in this task as she would work with other gems to develop new formulas to produce new, better, and cheaper gems to make. Of course the Diamonds would order them to come up with new Gem Formulas and they would test what they believed would create that gem type. Creating new gems and enhancing the formulas of old gems to make them better.

Success followed the green gem wherever she went and one thing that she excelled in was keeping information down from the various tests and experiments she had done. Writing down what had worked, what failed, why the outcome of these things happened.

Knowledge was something she held above all else and finally, after thousands of years she was able to convince the Diamonds that she should experiment with one new idea. Tomes. A book that would be able to record anything in real time and allow anyone to relive the experiences that were written down or taken from other gems. With something like this she could easily understand mistakes that were made, or even in battles they could find better ways and strategize new ways of doing things based on studying the past more efficiently.

The Diamonds, with these new changing times, granted her request on a new Colony that would be overseen by Pink Diamond. A library of sorts would be given to her as a research outpost for her experiments.

Library 9 was born. A hub for various gems who pursued more scholarly objectives. War veterans would come to relax, to visit the planet. Various Pearls would be given to the Library to keep it maintained while Moissanite worked on the Tomes. Servants that would tend to the books that would come in and organize the library of gem and human literature as well as entertain any guest that was allowed to come visit the library as it became a popular, relaxed, hub for many gems.

Though the biggest success of the Library was the Tomes.

The tomes would prove to a success for the most part. Able to record, write, and note any information that was put into them either by writing it down or by being taken inside of the book. These books were powered by Crystals she had experimented on in secret. Crystals that gave the tomes an ability unlike any other novel: The ability to pull gems inside the pages and experience memories in a physical setting. Recreating entire places, gems, creatures, everything that was within the memory was recreated before anyone who would be pulled inside of it.

Immediately she would create various tomes to organize them based on importance, type, and how much information could be stored within them. Unfortunately for her though, Pink Diamond’s colony was starting to collapse. She was trying to order the halt of all production on this planet and shut down everything; including Moissanite’s library.

Treason was suspected, that someone from within the library was speaking to others about failures of the Tomes and how they were showing sentience. The Authority would warn Moissanite that she needs to stay on track and cut out any problems that would harm the project.

The War Reaches the Library

Many years after the success of the tomes and collecting information from gems even older than her she was able to obtain information that most gems believed to not be real. That the legends Gems would speak of in fable were true and she could learn from everything they had to offer.

Although the war would reach the Library and due to the increasing threat of these Rebellious gems she was given another Task. Find a way to help in the War, find a use for gems that were too weak. As she had been in charge of creating many gems that ultimately ended up being shattered in the war she was tasked with fixing it.

The answer was obvious. The shards of those who had fallen still held a consciousness. Part of the gem’s mind was still in tact inside of even the smallest shard. Perhaps there could be a way to make them whole again, to recreate them in a new image using other fractured minds. After all it wasn’t too far fetched that forcing them gems to fuse would fill the hole that the other shard still had in their mind.

Experiments were done with this idea along side finishing the tomes. Forced Fusions took a long while in order to form. Finding the right agent to force the two gems together, it wasn’t like she could just mash to shards together and they would work together she had to find a bonding agent for them to fuse. The Diamonds, while a bit distraught of the idea of using shards and bringing back potentially rebellious gems, couldn’t deny that it would be a good plan. After all, you would never need to make new soldiers when you could create new ones from the fallen prats of your enemies.

Moissanite would break through and find the agent and continue experimenting for years to come with more and more gem shards that were shipped to the Library. Choosing a Pearl at random she would put her in charge of keeping the experiments quiet and less rowdy so that no one would find them underneath the library. Other gems may not approve of her tests so it was important to keep them tended to.

Eventually the war escalated to Pink Diamond being Shattered. The Library was shut down and they believe this all to be the fault of one who continuously would tell the Authority that their experiments were not working. Pearl was suspected as she was the only other one besides Moissanite that tended to the Fusion experiments and thus she would be left behind as the others abandoned the facility. Fleeing the planet as word came that the Diamonds were Ending this war.

Something went wrong. As Moissanite was fleeing the planet, her ship was shot down as they were leaving the planet’s orbit. Leaving by ship was the fastest way to go as the Galaxy warp was filled with gems and many were scrambling to leave. The ship exploded and due to the explosion her form gave out and despite many believing her gem to be shattered she was launched into space and floated around there.

Floating in space, she had no light to take from in order to create a form. Forced to stay within her gem until someone finds her...

Present

Green Moissanite was Found. Found by a group of gems that were exploring space for leisure in this new Era 3. Reforming, she immediately went to Homeworld and found that everything she knew was gone, the Authority had grown so soft and weak. Her research had been forgotten, she had been forgotten, everything she had done to try and advance Gem Kind was thrown away.

Moissanite now resides between Homeworld and visiting the various Knowledge Spires on different planets to see just how much of her work was thrown away.

Do you think Catra and Jasper are similar from She ra and Steven Universe? Both seem to not want to be weak at any cost. Both also kind of have abusive figurative moms that shadow lady and pink diamond or if not strong at any cost a sort of sense of self wrapped around the ides of strength and perfection. Both shows are so awesome! I havent finished she ra reboot yet. What do you think of she ra? Who are your favourite characters?

This question intrigued me as soon as I got it... even though I had to finish watching the first season of She-Ra to really dig my teeth into it and mull it over.

They certainly have their similarities. They’re both soldiers who were raised from birth in an abusive system that punished any sign of weakness. Because of this, they’re determined to be the best, no matter what, and do not give mercy to people who they perceive as incompetent or working outside of their value systems.

But... that’s where the similarities start to break down a bit.

First, you said both Catra had abusive, shadowy ‘moms’ in their life. But I don’t think that’s true. Catra did, 100%. Shadow-Weaver evidently has a huge hold on Catra, due to mentally and physically abusing her for basically her entire life. With them, it was personal.

But Jasper? I honestly doubt Jasper had a relationship with Pink Diamond in any way. They may have met once or twice- Pink might have complimented her- but that’s it. They were a monarch and soldier, but that’s it. Pink Diamond meant everything to Jasper, but Pink Diamond barely knew Jasper existed.

The abusive that Jasper received was from the system. Holly Blue shows as that corporal punishment is used on Quartzes; no doubt Jasper was whipped or similar from her commanding officers. She was created, and immediately thrown into a war where she would have had to fight for her life daily. She would have seen her fellow soldiers (her friends?) killed. Once more, she would have been told that anyone who could be shattered in battle deserved it.

That’s the next place they really differ:

Catra had Adora. Catra had a friend.

Even now that she’s been ‘betrayed’ by Adora, Catra still relies on other people. I wouldn’t say she goes as far as to trust them... but she knows her own weaknesses, and is perfectly fine surrounding herself with others to improve her odds. (I will certainly be very curious to see where her relationships with Scorpia and Entraptra go in future).

But Jasper? Jasper doesn’t have anyone. Maybe she did once- we see how close the Fam are- but she was certainly forced or encouraged to leave them behind millennia ago. Jasper is determined to survive on her own physical strength alone. 

Which is the next place they differ: how they relate to their values system/Empire.

Jasper believes in Homeworld. Wholly and utterly. She was told that everyone has a job, everyone has a purpose. Everyone is a tool, and Jasper is one of the most quality tools every designed. She is happy and proud of what she does.

Catra, though? She knows the Hoard is evil (or at least, amoral). She’s been on the receiving end of their cruelty since she was a child. She was taught that the world sucks and will chew you out, that’s why you make sure to look after you and your own.

Then suddenly Adora goes, ‘OMG, Catra, you won’t believe it- the Hoard is evil!’ And Catra just goes ‘... yeah, duh.’ From her perspective, Adora had been completely blind to her suffering, and choose to protect other people over her. That’s why she’s hurting so much.

Catra was taught from day one that strength was the greatest thing to value. She was also taught that she was weak. So she sees herself as a survivor, succeeding against the odds. If she fails, she just keeps fighting... because she refuses to give up.

But Jasper? She was taught from day one that strength is the greatest thing to value- and that she’s already the strongest. So then she starts failing, and failing, and failing. Her whole world view is crumbling.

Jasper realises she’s weak, and in her world view, that’s the worst thing anyone can be. Someone who can be defeated deserves destruction. 

So she accepts her fate.

TLDR:

Both Catra and Jasper were raised and abused in strength-valuing colonialist empires.

Jasper fully believes her Empire’s propaganda, and suffers mental anguish when she fails her belief system’s standards.

Catra knows her Empire sucks, but clings to it in the face of betrayal because she doesn’t have any alternative belief systems.

The Gem Ascension Reference Tour 4: Anime

(relevant bit starts around 2:38, but the 12 year old in me insists all of this is worth watching even if it’s sub-less)

Not that many anime references pop into mind right now, but the few that do are pretty poignant, so I’ll go ahead and talk about them. 

Short version: Late GA3 where Peridot lets out a piercing cry along the lines of “IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”... that’s from here. You see this line, you better fucking believe Kotono Mitsuishi subbed in for Shelby Rabara just for that. 

Long version:

Unless the latter could pull this off. She’s honestly among the best VAs in the Steven Universe cast and definitely knows when and how to put in the emotion where it truly needs it. This kind of cry is something very few could truly nail, so that’ll forever remain a mystery.

(also, heard that she recently had her first baby! Congrats to her! And... not at all surprised she’s very close to my age; just a few years older than me)

Yeah, when I decided (surprisingly late in the game) to kill off Pumpkin, this moment from the final season of Sailor Moon is what I had in mind. This is something that’s stuck with me since my internet infancy back in the late 90s; back when clips could only be found on fansites and downloading things even a few megabytes in size was an ordeal because dial-up internet. And the clips were very tiny and rather grainy on top of that. This clip probably feels very tame today, but in 1998, it hit my 12 year-old self hard. 

It’s astonishing that since then, there still isn’t an English dub for this season. I mean, one is actually FINALLY forthcoming now, but... yeah. It’ll probably be a few years before I can even see it. It’s taken 20+ years for Sailor Stars to get a proper English dub. 

The sparkly glowing balls of light were also a thing for Pumpkin’s death, just to really drive that reference home. Honestly, be grateful this is the ONLY thing I gleaned from the Sailor Stars finale arc. I could have been a real bitch and incorporated something like the subplot of Uranus and Neptune betraying their friends in order to lull Galaxia into a false sense of security in order to score a killing blow (this required them to kill fellow teammates Pluto and Saturn, by the way)... or even worse, incorporate the manga equivalent of this storyline where pretty much everybody fucking dies, gets their corpses reanimated and completely possessed and fight Sailor Moon to completely fuck with her mind, then Galaxia just kicks them all into the Galaxy Cauldron to completely erase their existence and any chance of being reborn/revived.

Speaking of the manga...

This was a pretty minor plot point, but it was derived from this part of the Sailor Moon manga (act 24). This was first explained in the side-story, but basically, I just simplified the matter of Rose having to die to bring Steven into the world. Simple rule: no two gems of the exact same code and cut can exist simultaneously. So there can’t be two White Diamonds just as much as there can’t be two Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XGs. Should this impossibility be made possible, then for the love of god don’t let the two make physical contact, because that will induce a universe-obliterating paradox. 

I couldn’t really find a suitable way to incorporate this into the main plot, but I figured it’s fitting enough to give some full, concrete reasoning as to why Steven and Rose can’t exist simultaneously since they share the same diamond. 

tl;dr: time travel should definitely never be a thing in the GA canon. 

At least one reviewer was savvy enough in Sailor Moon knowledge to catch this reference! And I give kudos to that person, since this one is relatively obscure. So, Iridescent Diamond - the fusion of Pink Diamond 2.0 and Chartreuse Diamond. Technically a Stevidot fusion, only not really since it’s their alter egos and it’s established in-story that an actual Stevidot fusion would produce something different.

When Iridescent Diamond first arrives and Alexandrite asks for her name, she basically paraphrases Sailor Neptune’s introduction. In a way, it’s also somewhat of a reference to one of Peridot’s lines in CYM where she declares herself as Homeworld’s savior (which, ironically, she literally becomes in GA canon - she and Steven do the heavy lifting for saving every gem on Homeworld by transporting them to Earth), because ID is here to “save you all with elegance”! And another part of this speech references something else entirely that I’ll get into later.

So, outside of Sailor Moon... only one other series comes to mind right away.

(relevant part starts at around 1:00)

The entirety of White Diamond begging Steven for energy to heal her wounds and leave her dying planet, only to use that energy to get one last shot on the Crystal Gems when their backs were turned... yep, this was from the final moment of the Goku/Freeza fight in the Namek saga. Freeza was way more badly damaged, obviously, but he and White Diamond are about on the same mental wavelength here for why they throw that mercy right back into the heroes’ faces. And both times it’s met with a massive backfiring (still amazing that this didn’t actually kill Freeza, either). 

Most notably, when Peridot notices what’s going on with WD, when she’s screaming “YOU CLOD!!!!!”  - that delivery is definitely like Goku’s “YOU FOOL!!!!!” point for point.

Also, a small joke when WD earlier mentions the Crystal Gems have only 5 minutes left before Homeworld goes kaput, but that obviously doesn’t happen. Consider that a slight reference to DBZ Abridged when Goku says Freeza has no idea what a minute really is. (and that’s in reference to the 5-minute countdown part of this fight lasting a full three hours in real time for us)

I feel like I’m missing something, but again, if I did, I can always bring in a part 2 for this.

Thoughts about “Now we’re only falling apart” - spoilers  bellow

While not the worst episode to come out of SU it’s certainly not the best either.  I l’ll put it under a read more just in case. 

I wanted PD centred backstory for a while. But...this wasn’t what I had in mind. Now, bear with me.

In “Jungle Moon”, PD’s debut, we saw how much of a brat she was. PD was entitled, spoiled, uncaring and self-centred. She wanted a colony and bad.  After that episode we only got episodes that depict PD as a total 360 change from her debut. Which is...not bad...but it raises some questions.

Instead of having Pearl tell us how she decided to rebel and how Garnet was the inspiration for Rose to also fight for gems, I would have rather they showed us a flashback episode where we see how PD went from bratty and spoiled to caring and compassionate. Not having that kind of explanation leaves a huge gap in how we understand PD as a character. 

Ever since the revelation that Rose was PD it’s been hammered in that she was good, and nice and had no idea of the consequences her actions would cause. That she just wanted to save Earth and all that. 

But how did she transition? We don’t know that. That’s the backstory we need. How she came to be, maybe even how diamonds are formed, how were her first years or centuries in her colony? 

Right now, PD seemed to have changed her mind simply because she realized how boring running a colony was (something she told Pearl as well) and because she grew bored she started to be interested in things like gems emerging from kidnergartens and whatnot. So her motivation in the end was: I wanted this colony but it turns out it’s boring to run out so I don’t want it anymore because reasons. 

And having this episode show us that in 2 minutes of wandering around Earth ( i know it’s supposed to be more than 2 minutes but it literally felt like that) she suddenly realizes and cares that in order to make gems she has to take the life away from our planet. it’s just feels a little forced. I for one would’ve like to see her realize this over time, over centuries of being a colonizer, and most of all, I wanted Pink to realize this on her own, not aided by Pearl. 

I get that she was just like a child, not knowing much about the world around her but she was not an idiot and it was her colony. She could’ve taken walks on Earth in her palanquin, pretending to inspect various things in her colony but in the process observing what’s been happening to the life around her. 

I would’ve loved, if we didn’t have the Steven only perspective, to have an episode entirely with PD and little to no dialogue, a la Samurai Jack, where we see what she does as a Diamond and how she wanders around her colony, seeing the various facets of it. Seeing the few humans that were there, seeing, maybe entire parts of the Earth dead because of kidnergartens and maybe after it dawns on her what her race is actually doing. Dunno just something like that. 

I find it very strange that PD had no idea how the process of making gems went. She said in the episode how they were making gems out of nothing. How could she not know how gems are made? Did the other diamonds not tell her? 

As for the other part of the episode, Sapphire being upset, I found it very rushed and odd. She just suddenly accepts what Rose did and is a-ok with it in a matter of minutes all because Pearl told her some bullshit how Garnet was the one who inspired Rose to fight for gems as well. 

BUT and I’m gonna say it for the people in the back as well: ROSE NEVER AT ANY POINT IN THE WAR, AS FAR AS WE KNOW, SHOWED THAT SHE WAS FIGHTING TO LIBERATE GEMS. NOT EVER. SHE REFUSED TO SHATTER THE DIAMONDS BECAUSE SHE WAS A DIAMOND AND SHE ONLY CARED THAT THE CGs WERE FREE NOT THE OTHER GEMS. SHE COULDN’T CARE LESS BECAUSE IF SHE DID SHE WOULDN’T HAVE MADE HER OWN GEMS FIGHT THE CGs and VICE-VERSA. 

Bismuth was the only gem we’ve seen express the direct desire to take the war to Homeworld and liberate all gems. 

I really think that with this episode they’re trying to excuse everything Rose did. The zoo? Haha not hers, Yellow and Blue made it. Why? It would’ve been brilliant to make the zoo Pink’s because it would’ve shown that YES she was      a horrible person who tried to change but ultimately failed, It would’ve showed that she had faults of her own. BUT NOPE. Even that is taken away from poor innocent Rose. And to top it all off she lied about the zoo too, as evidenced by Garnet who knew that the zoo belonged to PD.  - though we could interpret it as Rose trying to demonize PD some more, which is stupid all on its own. 

Secondly, why was Steven so ok with his mom being PD? He accepts it right away, and even tells Pearl this: “Pearl, help me explain everything to Sapphire” 

Like, how are you gonna explain Steven? You have no idea who PD was and what she’s done at this point. The only one that knows is Pearl and she’s sketchy as fuck about it. 

It’s sad. It could have been a great episode but instead we got something that tries to hammer down that Pearl and Rose were so in love and that Pearl really chose to do things for Rose and how they were so cute together all the while forgetting that Pearl was Pink literally slave and she was programmed to obey Pink. Also, Pearl is very clearly still afraid of Pink in general. We saw that in “ A single Pale Rose” and in “Now we’re only falling apart” because Pearl knows that no matter what Pink is still her diamond and she has to act accordingly. 

You know, you’d think that for a gem like PD who was so carefree and nice she’d tell Pearl to stop addressing her as my diamond when in Rose form, at least. 

Oh well. 

P.S. Also, why in God’s name does Blue Diamond cry so much over Pink if she treated her exactly like YD? I mean if BD and Pink were closer Id understand but ...it’s just weird.

What a Wonderful Dream (Part 3)

(Part 1) (Part 2)

Shan and Vaard looked between one another then back at the huge Orc who was in the process of cleaning off his knife, the butchered and quartered Talbuk set aside to be grilled later.

“You? A red dragon? Puh-lease, if you think you could fool us you might have come up with something a little more convincing. Quel genre d'idiot me prends-tu?“ Shan’h’tra scoffs softly, leaning on her staff gently, while Vaard has finally managed to sit up somewhat straight, resting an elbow on a folded pile of clothes.

The orc laughs broadly, the heavy plate armor clanking gently in time with his din. He slowly stands up and with a gentle snap of his fingers, his body begins to change under a gentle golden glow.

A small cloud of gold light and black flames rush down the green skin’s body and armor, peeling away the guise. Heavy plate armor gives way for flowing silk robes and embroidery, thick greying braids and hair giving way to long golden locks and chest length beard. The squared and brutish jaw line gave to the sharp lines of a Highborne elf, but those golden piercing eyes remain, the pupils simply black slits, deep and hungry gaze.

Shan and Vaard seem dumbstruck for a moment, as where once a huge Orc warrior stood, was now a High Elf noble in black and red robes. A majestic being, where once a brute stood.

“So, High Arcanist Shan’H’Tra and Vindicator Vaard, does this form seem more convincing? Or would you prefer I take on something more,, scaled?” The High Elf spoke now in Draenic, and barely a hint of an accent is found in his speech. The Elf glanced down, and sees some of the Talbuk blood has lingered on his fingers. He lifts up the long talon like finger nails, and with a short sharp flick of his forked tongue, cleans the nails of the intrusive blood. Once clean, he brushes the long thick beard with his manicured fingers.

“Wha-how, but,” Vaard starts before interrupted by Shan “You are a High Elf? No,, those robes and iconography, those are of the Red Dragonflight. But, who are you? Why would you not be among your people at Wyrmrest Temple?”She immediately switches also to Draenic, her emerald eyes glaring and examining the tall noble across the fire pit.

“Because I do not desire it,, and because my Queen does not desire me to be her mate again, not yet at least. I have not made enough amends yet. And,, she is still healing from the wounds inflicted by Neltharion. As for who I am, well.” The High elf grins gently, revealing those pearly white teeth, gleaming in the fire light.

“I go by the name of Tyranastrasz, The Scholarly One, Prime Consort to the Life-Binder of Azeroth. Though, most of the world believes I am dead, killed at the hands of Deathwing at Grim Batol. The Dwarves, in their audacity, think that my skull resides in their capitol of Ironforge. Ha! The nerve,,” Tyran grumbles softly as he waves a hand, the dimming flames of the fire pit flaring up again.

Vaard gapes at Tyran, still trying to put things together in his mind. Here, in the same room as him was a Red dragon, but claiming to being probably the oldest dragon who isn't even an Aspect. Vaard recalls Senegos from Aszuna, who is millennia old, who was seemingly at the end of the life cycle of dragons, even with the aide of the mana pools and ley-lines coursing through the Broken Isles.

“Then what are you doing, masquerading as an Orc warrior?” Shan asks the obvious question hanging in the room. A Red dragon who died at the hands of corrupted orcs and Deathwing now being a part of the Horde.

“Twas not the form I chose. Twas what the Titans gave me. To humble me and teach me an important lesson. Judge not the Mortals by only a select group of individuals. Were I to judge your people as a whole, I would call you fel-addicted heathens who aide the Burning Legion in the conquest of the Stars. But you aren’t. You are a proud misplaced people who want to try and save your new, and old, homeworld.” 

“And, despite your thoughts, I do not serve the Horde. I aide those who try and better the Horde, not to turn it into the war-mongering people they once were. If Garrosh was still alive, Id be putting him on the chopping block. But I also aide, in a part, the Alliance. I curb those who would try and fan the flames of war, but I fear humans are a mortal race who enjoys stirring the pot and up-ending tables.”

Tyran grumbles gently, toying with his beard with his sharp nails, while Shan sputters and scowls at the dragon who dared call her people fel-addicted heathens. “Why you little,,” Shan looked ready to drop an Arcane Bomb on the man before Vaard speaks up.

“Wait so,, you have been living among us, and tried to help both Factions into co-operating? To what end though?”

Tyran stops and looks at Vaard, blinking a few times before doing the ‘Are you serious face’. “To what end? To. What. End? To save this sorry excuse of a planet! To make a world safe enough for my children, my children’s children, and their children and their children to live in it of course! I am the father of almost an entire dragonflight, and spouse to the frakking ‘Life-Binder’. Why would I not fight to save this world and it’s people? I have seen the wars you mortals fought, the tyrants and abusers, plagues and the undead, demons and Man’ari. This is my home just as much as the other creature on this world. To what end. Aman’Thul’s Beard!”
