STE.VEN UNI.VERSE HICFANFIC

Oooh, I like that, I might use that for all my hicfics I post here...

Anyway-

Reblogs and interactions are fine, but no reposting or sharing anywhere.

This story was written a long long time ago, looking back at it...it's not terrible and I actually don't hate this.

CW:

-inaccurate gem anatomy (I'm pretty sure the Gems are made completely of light, they don't have diaphragms...probably)

-eating hot pepper

-betting

-laughing/teasing other people's torment

-bird mom loving her son

-pls let me know if I need to add more

And without further ado, I give you...

Pepper + Hot Sauce = Trouble

“C’mon, P! You gotta do it!” Amet.hyst cheered.

Pe.arl was sitting on the couch and in front of her was a Carolina Reaper dipped in extremely hot hot sauce.

“Can't I do something else?” Pe.arl replied as she looked at the pepper in disgust.

“A deal’s a deal. You lost.”

Pe.arl sighed remembering the bet they’d made. Amet.hyst betted that Pe.arl couldn't go a week without cleaning, and Pe.arl betted that Amet.hyst couldn't go a week without eating.

“It was just a dirty sock!” Pea.rl cried.

“Hey, guys! What's going on?” Ste.ven asked as he walked in the room.

“Pe.arl lost a bet, so Ame.thyst is making her eat a pepper doused in hot sauce,” Gar.net explained.

“Oh, this is gonna be good! I'll go get the milk!” Ste.ven bounced excitedly to the fridge to get the dairy product. “Got it!”

He brought it over to the table and Pe.arl looked at him.

“What's that for?” She asked curiously.

“It helps, trust me.”

“Just eat it already!” Amet.hyst cried out.

Pe.arl gulped. She wasn't prepared for this. She wasn't comfortable with this, it entailed eating for Pete’s sake.

“Here goes,” Pe.arl picked up the saucy pepper, closed her eyes as she trembled a little in fear, and carefully placed it in her mouth.

Amet.hyst, Ste.ven, and Gar.net all watched in pure excitement and curiosity. Pe.arl finally bit off the stem and she started chewing it.

Heat, no, fire. Fire was what she felt on her tongue at the moment. She whimpered and whined as beads of sweat fell down her face.

“So, how is it?” Ste.ven asked, since he was recording and Amet.hyst was trying to stifle laughs.

Pe.arl looked straight into the phone’s camera and squeaked, “It's hot.”

Ste.ven giggled, Gar.net smirked, and Amet.hyst was on the floor laughing wildly.

“Guys, I…I think I'm…melting!” She cried.

“You're not melting,” Gar.net snorted.

“Don't forget to swallow it,” Ame.thyst laughed.

Pe.arl groaned and swallowed the pepper pieces. Her eyes grew in shock and fear. She thought her mouth was hot, but now her throat and insides were hot as well. Her face was flushed a beautiful turquoise and tears were brimming at her eyes.

“This is worse!” Pe.arl cried.

“Drink the milk,” Ste.ven suggested with a smile.

“I'm not drinking out of the-hic!- carton, oh-hiccup!-no.”

Pe.arl covered her mouth in embarrassment as her diaphragm jumped again.

Ame.thyst was gasping for air, Ga.rnet was snickering, and Ste.ven gasped.

“I didn't know Gems could get hiccups,” he said.

“It's extremely rare for Gems to get them,” Ga.rnet explained, “but it can happen, since we have diaphragms…Pe.arl’s usually the one with the hiccups around here.”

“Hey! I-hic!-I haven't had-hiccup!-the hiccups in-huc!-a thousand-hup!-years!” Pe.arl crossed her arms.

“But it's still pretty darn funny when you get them!” Amet.hyst laughed.

“Hmph! Hiccuh! Ugh, why me?” Pe arl groaned.

“I'll be right back,” Ste.ven said and hurried to the kitchen to get a glass.

He came skipping back to the living room. He poured some milk into the glass for her.

“Drink it,” he handed it to her.

“Th-HIC!-ahem! Thank you, Ste.ven. hic!” Pe.arl accepted the glass and drank the cold liquid.

Ste.ven smiled widely as he awaited the aftermath. Pe.arl stopped when the glass was half full. A smile made a way onto her lips.

“Aah, that-hic-helps with the heat,” Pe.arl sighed in relief.

“See? Told you it’d help,” he said proudly.

“Hic! Ugh, but these hiccups-hulp!-may stay for a-hiccup!-while.”

Pe.arl drank the rest of the milk in her glass and Stev.en poured her some more. She smiled at the boy as a thanks for helping her get through this. Soon enough, the heat subsided, the hiccups stayed, and Ste.ven was sitting on her lap hugging her. His head would rise with every loud hiccup Pe.arl would hiccup, but he was fine with it. And soon enough he dozed off to sleep with Pea.rl sitting back comfortably and her arms cuddled around Ste.ven’s body.

“I love you, Pe.arl,” Ste.ven mumbled in his sleep.

She smiled and kissed his forehead. “I love you too-hmc-Ste.ven.”

And the two of them stayed like that for the rest of the afternoon.

My Tumblr app updated and the icon is different. It is really bothering me.

[she-ismysun-archive]

I’m learning how to use tumblr and it’s making me GRUMPY (im autistic(thank u best friends nanari)

While yes, she does sleepy on my scribble. Above all else. She is my sun 💫 and nothing in the world is dark when she is my sun.

That is the story behind my name - based in Sunshine Lucy and my ao3 sheismysun. What started off as a joke is now extremely grounding for me knowing there is light in a person

I think a thing I miss with Reddit that doesn’t seem to be met here as much chance that someone that isn’t subscribed to a tag will see your post. Compare to Reddit where you can easily see the last time a community was active or it could link to a more active one

Maybe I am still using tumblr and tags wrong, please give any insight if you can

[nightking64]

I'm trying to learn how to use tumblr fr so... um here's a post?

[daedriyth]

Help?

Hi there! I'm still new-ish to tumblr and I'm wondering why I don't get sent to the post with a new comment when I click my notification? If someone replies to a comment I made and I click the notification it just sends me to the page but not the post...help?

[sirsailorstar]

Sorry if I’m not quick to respond on here. Just made the account a few weeks back when twitter decided to oof itself. I’m mostly active on twitter and discord as far as social media goes because I don’t want to go too overboard with it.

When I figure out how the big T works, and how to make it look appealing, I will probably share the stories I’ve written on Archive of Our Own quite frequently as I create and post them the same way I do on the blue bird.

I just think it would make it easier to find things without getting lost in an endless scroll.

🎵I like no blueberries in my ice cream cake🎵

Here’s what I found about the symbolism of blue berries

the meaning of the colors red,green,and blue

According to colors meanings Website the color red has many reasons such as

this stuck out to me because it reminded me of lyrics seraph

Blueberries since it said it was taking about the virtues also goes to ribbon where he mentioned “I’m lost in the sea of lust.”

That’s all for the color red I will post soon about the colors blue and green so this post isn’t too long [already is]

[hyper-lynx]

wait you can just use CSS classes to add colors to text here? you can just highlight words and phrases like an NPC from a video game?

Gaby Soto is a gift

Edit: I missed one!

[nonapplicableman]

Why didn't I just post using big text? Man, I am slow.

That looks better honestly. ^

[ace-thirst-trap]

Reblogging as advised. Keeping notes on my journey. Wish me luck.

Edit 7/31

I have discovered a formula for tags I like that I call #CRUNCHYLETTUCE

It goes

#opener #cheesy joke #cheesy riffs #saucy joke #crunchy lettuce #popular tags for visibility (protein) #closer

Crunchy lettuce is your brand. Your brand hook goes in right after your best joke and soaks up the sauce. This makes your brand seem tasty even though its just cardboard

Also, I couldn’t figure out :readmore:, but I found a button.

tumblr etiquette 101

a list that is nowhere near exhaustive, from yours truly.

First off, welcome! Whether you’re a twitter veteran looking for anything but whatever twitter is, or a new user just done signing up, glad to see you in our ranks beloveds! Welcome home. Refer to this quick tour to make sure your fandom experience (or tumblr experience in general) is a positive one!

Disclaimer: I know it’s long, but please try to read or skim through til the end if you’re new here! This is by no means meant to be a rule book (for the most part lol), only a guide to help you get settled easier!

1) Your blog

This is where people will see and interact with you, so put some effort into it!

Try to choose a name (url) that’s simple. You can see it as your brand, it’s how people will perceive you and remember you. If you’d like to interact with other users here (and not use the site just for the content) it’s better to have something short and sweet, preferably without spaces. (Of course, these are only suggestions.) Rest assured, you can change it literally any time you want.

Have a theme. Utilize the tool that lets you edit your blog’s color or the font of your bio! You can make it match your profile picture, or your blog if it has a theme of its own. Make it feel homey :]

Fill in your bio. People will be checking out your profile probably more often than you think. Don’t leave it empty! Put in any information you’re comfortable with sharing and isn’t too personal (like your age if you’re a minor, or other TMI that can be found on other people’s carrds). It’s always better to add a name/nickname people can use to refer to you by, but feel free to use your blog description to shitpost still.
