Question for editor

What kind of energy does Lizzy have?

Also she looks like she needs a nap desperately

She can go from cinnamon roll to CYN if she needs to

Also yes she needs a nap after dealing with Spinel for the 8th time today

[lizzy-dragonz]

Finally an explanation on my Horizons AU lmao

Okay so I was gonna draw something but I was busy soooo--

It's almost a crossover between Tears of the Kingdom (I love that game) and Pokemon. (and roblox doors bc Curious Light is one of my ocs lol??) All normal rules still apply but here we go-

Most of this takes place in Paldea and Unova. (Also Volo is still alive during this whole thing lmao) There are two added crew members to the Rising Volt Tacklers:

Lizzy (my main Oc) Who is from the Unova region alongside her partner Pokemon, Lucario (who also got yeeted to Hisui but more on that later) and a somewhat counterpart of Curious Light

Amethio (YEP HES WITH THE CREW IN MY AU) who was fired from the Explorers and now wants to make things right (and Lizzy's childhood pookie)

Lizzy met Lucius (because he was in Hisui (he has a Kleavor so it makes sense ig????)) while she was in Hisui and promised to protect Terapagos and Liko.

Okay now on to the Explorers

Coral (or Sango) is just the embodiment of a child (and is a psycopath but anyways) and is only in the Explorers because they can do whatever (I think she said that in an earlier ep). Also I hc her as a huge GLITCH productions fan (and also her English VA is Pomni's voice actor!) and would binge watch Murder Drones or TDAC while on break.

Spinel

*sighs in Master Sword*

He's DEFINIATELY up to something. What? We don't know- but he's insane. LIKE, ALMOST VOLO INSANE. He's also a manipulative little shit so yeah. Anyway I sometimes hc him as kinda flirty (i dont know what i was on) and also the kinda guy to watch the Iono zone for no absolute reason. He also has a bowtie for Umbreon. I also hc him to be a MD enjoyer as well (bc he relates to Cyn lmfao)

Hamber- alrighty not much to say about this guy lol. Butler man lol. Anyway i only hc him to have a sword for no absolute reason

Sidian- Gym guy. Need I say more? I also hc him to be a good cook bc S A L T. He's the only Admin that wouldn't try to kill Lizzy on the spot

Chalce (or Agate) She's def a the one to meditate while the HQ is blowing up or smth lmaooo. Also i gave her a Slither Wing as a Pokemon for her team because it fits ngl (and also to paralell Lizzy a bit because she has an Iron Valliant) Also i hc her to like Spicy Food

Onia and Zirc (I LOVE THEM). Onia loves cute pokemon and just has a bunch of photos in her room for sure.

Gibeon- Him and Lizzy hate each other's guts. Need I say more? I also hc him to have a Hydreigon and a Spiritomb.

(Ignore how I just gave up on punctuation lmao)

anyway if you have any questions you can just ask ^^

[silly-little-asks]

MD Spinel and Chalce

Last but certainly not least I bring the catty duo of the Explorers.

Chalce's eyes definitely look a little cursed like that, should have just made her pupils black. Oh, well. I'll fix it if I draw her again. The Tera Types of these two are Tera Dark for Spinel and Tera Fighting for Chalce.

Well that's it for the main characters of this AU. I'm open to drawing pretty much anything else for this AU so if you want to see anything just ask (but no full Teras please, I'm not quite sure how I would draw that).

[gemsona-advice]

YO ‼️‼️ so i need ideas for a midnight diamond's court (if it helps you in any way, MD's color pallet consists of desaturated blues)

OOOO hell yeah !!

Tahitian/Black Pearl

Star Sapphire, (plain) Sapphire, Midnight Blue Sapphire (I would add Black Star Sapphire but it's not blue)

Star Ruby

Midnight Aura Quartz, Ocean Jasper (with lots of dark blues), Dumortierite, Blue Aventurine

Star Spinel (the blue/purple kind), Cobalt Blue Spinel,

Misc: Labradorite, Moonstone, Lapis Stellatus (not really a name we use anymore, but it was apparently visually similar to lapis lazuli, even if their chemical structures differed), Midnight Lace Obisidan, Blue Goldstone, Azurite, Galaxite (named after a plant, but looks like the galaxy)?

also not to be a #hater but there’s this new trend of putting like “past pain is not justification for continuing pain” but it’s always overlayed by like childrens cartoon characters.  like i guess i get the message but i wish someone would do it with like walter breaking bad or live action characters.  it just seems kind of silly to attribute stuff like that to spinel steven universe.  like i feel like even bojack horseman would feel more appropriate than literal childrens cartoon characters?

Very honored to have my work featured on the cover of @thejnspg Spine for July! These illustrations were created for the article “Predictors of indirect neural decompression in minimally invasive transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion." Always a pleasure working with @barrowneuro's own @thejuanuribe, Chief of Spine Surgery, and the recently graduated residents of neurosurgery, Corey Walker, MD and Jakub Godzik, MD. Also, a big thank you to Jay Turner, MD, PhD, for the kind words and framed illustration! @supportbarrow #spinesurgery #indirect #decompression #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #neurosurgicalatlas #residents #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #neurocirurgia #brainscience #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #resident #learningmedicine #peerreview #journalcover #neurologist #medicaljournal https://doi.org/ 10.3171/2020.8.SPINE20676 (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQlyZtcHXin/?utm_medium=tumblr

I know this is too dark and a too serious to tackle subject, but since I rewatched the whole House MD series I cannot take away from mind the idea of Steven being so terrified of becoming like his mother that he starts having hallucination of her, but not the Good Rose or the Bratty Pink, but a more sadistic version of her, taunting him, wearing him down constantly, playing mind games with him, and he doesn’t know if she is just part of his subconscious, or if his gem is involved somehow.

Like a segment could go like:

P: “Why are you ignoring me? I told you we can fix all of this together!”

S: “No, I will fix all the mess you have caused without your help, as I am doing since I was born.”

P: “...Don’t you dare think you are better than me, I fought for this planet for thousands of years, I tried to help everyone”

S: “And you hurt everyone, you scarred them forever”

P: “And you?”

S: “I would never do such horrible stuff!”

P: “Please, you LEFT the rubies hopelessly float in space, you wanted to USE Spinel to save Earth from certain death , you recklessly risked the life of your friends over and over again. WE both did what we thought was the right thing to do. You just got lucky in the end.”

[tomahachi12]

OHHH I GOT HERE JUST IN TIME. i literally JUST came to check if youd posted anything new!

do you mind if i yoink the robo-miscarriage idea from you. with credit of course if i ever post anything public with it!! its just such a.... funs not the right word but interesting take on it that khan and nori may have had issues because the solver fucked with her so bad and her brain got scrambled.

ouchie wowchie, also. youve always been so so good at potraying emotions. i'm genuinely so over the moon you're making MD art. poor nori :( thank you so much for the khori food, there's so little content of them which makes me so sad!!!

I’m very sporadic with posting, and I think I remember you from my spinel-times, so I really appreciate you sticking around 💜

Just knowing that some people actually look forward to seeing my art, and my weird humor, helps with motivation and makes me want to keep creating more.

It’s a feeling I haven’t had in a while, ever since I stopped doing the spinel things.

Thank you for that 💜

—

I don’t mind at all if you use the idea

It adds more to the world-building, which is one of my favorite things to do.

I feel like it can happen with any of the drones when they try to activate a baby. It’s rare, but there’s still that chance. Nori (and Yeva) would be more susceptible to a failure because of their messed up code.

Another concept I was gonna explore, was the idea of twins.

How would twins work out in this universe?

We’ll just have to wait and see 👀

—

Fun fact (or maybe future AU idea hmmmmmmm?)

IF Nori and Khan were actually successful with their first few attempts, Uzi would of had an older brother and two older (twin) sisters.

Doll was Yeva’s first, but they couldn’t get any more to activate after. Doll would of had a (much) younger brother.

—

Thank you~

Emotions are a very important, yet extremely difficult thing to portray, especially in art.

I use an old animator’s trick of straight up making the face that I’m trying to draw.

I make a lot of funny faces while drawing lol

—

I do wish we coulda seen more of Nori and Yeva in the show, but I understand the direction with a limited series.

GUESS IM JUST GONNA HAVE TO MAKE IT MYSELF

[iamjjmmma]

i spent an hour typing up the full storyline to my steven universe fanfic i’ll never make and here goes.

Consider this a chapter from a history book I guess.

This was inspired by a lot of things, but mainly inspired by me researching Ocean City, MD (which is eerily close to Beach City and eerily close to where Sugar grew up) since I went there a few years ago and spent my childhood summers. But here we go.

Steven is now eighteen and ready to marry Connie and move out of his parents’ place, although he swears never to forget his Gem heritage. Just then, Spinel comes back down using the lightpad the Diamonds have. 

NOTE: 1 SECOND IN THE DIAMOND WORLD=1 DAY IN THE HUMAN WORLD, meaning Spinel would have only been gone for about 13 minutes.

She claims she wanted to go back to say one last goodbye. She notices how much time would pass in the human world without the Diamonds even giving her a second thought and decides to stay for 6 months, realizing she needs to repair her relationships with the other characters. During that time, she becomes closer with all the characters, but most of all with Pearl, who has  now developed a protective instinct over her and considers her just as much of her “child” as Steven is. So she’s accepted as a temporary member of the Universe family as Steven’s “sister” and as Greg’s “daughter” that he’s always wanted. 

Meanwhile, in one of the more overlooked suburbian neighborhoods in Beach City, the injector left a trail of its poison on one of the cul-de-sacs...right in the only area where it’s legal for carriers to deliver newspapers. This has caused a man named George Handley, who lives in that street, to not have any current issues of his newspaper. In fact, the last issue of the paper was when Spinel was on Earth and how it basically portrayed her as pure evil. Since George is quite the gem extremist/human supremacist, thinking they’re out to destroy humanity. And he also has a pistil, well… yeah.

Slowly, tensions grow in between the Gems and the humans, culminating one day with Steven getting into a scuffle in one of the town alleyways and coming home very much hurt. 

One day, Pearl and Spinel go to the children’s theatre one day to watch one of their plays, with Greg and Steven being gone for a music gig. Unbeknownst to them, George is also coming to see his 9-year-old daughter Delaney and her 11-year-old boyfriend Ken. Once George sees the duo, he pulls you-know-what out of his pocket and fires away. Pearl shields Spinel, but not...quite. 

In fact, the poison did more than just destroy organic matter. It cancels it out, yes, but it also replaces it with crystalline matter, aimed to both destroy humans and turn them into half or full Gems. It does the opposite with the Gems, causing them to possess more and more human traits, some of which include dying in human ways and retaining a bodily form after their Gems shatter.

It takes a few seconds for Pearl to even realize Spinel is hurt, and even when she does, with the help of a completely unhelpful human crowd, she doesn’t know anything she can do but calm Spinel down until her gem shatters. *cue sad harmonica music prisoners in movies play*

George is completely devastated and remorseful, having heard Spinel’s crying, which sounds like a child. He tells Pearl about how he’s a father himself, and Pearl says how that “makes him even more sick” before she punches him in the face and knocks him out. Pearl tells everyone what happened. They bury Spinel near Rose’s Fountain. Afterwards, they spend time with the Handley family and with Ken, meeting George’s wife Margaret (iT mEaNs PeArL sEe WhAt I dId ThEre).

One day, the Diamonds start to frantically call Earth every second, which translates into once every 2 or 3 days. Each time, they offer a different explanation, but time’s running out. Eventually, they bring George, who fabricates what happened and makes himself look like the hero. Despite everyone else trying to tell the Diamonds this, they say they’d much rather believe the words of a “humble father” instead of any of the rest of them. (poor greg)

The Gems determine the humans are getting dangerous and that they need to address this. Steven is the representative, but once a mob of humans attack, the Gems attack back. The United States interprets this as a declaration of war.

…

It’s now been 5 years since the war started. It’s been very organized- mostly made up of volunteers, with battles going on in uninhabited places. High tensions still exist between the Gems and the humans, but it dies down to a topic that people talk about when they’re bored. No, nobody important died, although Steven’s grown to be a handsome 23-year-old and looking suspiciously like Steg. We now go back to Rosanna, who is now 14, and Ken, who is now 16. During science class one day, Rosanna discovers traces of the poison (nicknamed “gobbledy goopy goo”) in the schoolyard, and looking under a microscope using a cheek swab, they discover it’s replacing the cells with a mixture of microscopic crystals and alien-looking fluid. A kid volunteers to POUR the rest of the poison on his arm, and it mutates into a Gem-ish arm. 

Ken realizes that they’ve discovered a major advantage in the war, and so they spend the next few months teaming up with the Steven Universe gang and trying to find a way to keep the Gems going as a failsafe in case the Gems don’t make it to the planets they want to migrate to. So they purposefully inject themselves with poison until they turn half-Gem. Along the way, they meet new friends, lose new friends, and have a tone of character development. The surviving Gems all leave Earth, and Ken and Rosanna use the light pad once more to go to the most isolated, the smallest, the most remote planet in all the galaxy: the Garden. 

They form a network of wires around the planet to deliver a paralyzing electric shock to anyone should they dare to step on the light pad, trapping themselves in the planet for the rest of their lives out of fear the cycle will start all over again if they do. Using a juice extracted from the dead forget-me-nots that turns out to be where the poison originated the whole time, they take out the Gem parts from them and create two Gem creatures that resemble them both in appearance and action. Ken and Rosanna discover how to use the poison to bring back the plants, surprisingly, and grow their own food, living the rest of their days there and dismantling the electric wires when they reach old age. 

Meanwhile, all the Steven Universe characters are making a life away from Earth on a nearby planet, without any humans, and build a Homeworld-like planet. Steven and Connie settle down and have children there, and the rest of the Gems live happily and peacefully.

and all of this because a newspaper carrier was late.

Also: the Diamonds built the injector, it being a machine recycled from the first war. They were also the ones who discovered the poison’s use and sent Spinel to Earth as an attempt for them to build a Gem army there, offering Spinel “the perfect revenge.” Ah, well.

here’s what george looks like:

we know he’s a white suburban guy.

but is he your dad?

is he a licensed alien shooter?

the world may never know

I love sharing unique gemstones and jewelry, but it’s even more special when the story and motivation behind the business has purpose and meaning.⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣MD Maya Gems posts some of the most beautiful gemstones. Today, these #pink and #purple💜 #tourmaline gems for caught my attention.⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣Lola Sanchez is the owner of MD Maya Gems. Her inspiration to start MD Maya Gems resonates with just one of the reasons why I started Jewelry Navigator. ⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣She shares the purpose behind starting MD Maya Gems on her About Page, ⁣ ⁣“MdMaya was born at the same time as my daughter.⁣ ⁣I have always bought precious gemstones. And because I couldn’t move during my pregnancy I started buying them on the Internet. I learnt from my mistakes. I have suffered many disappointments in both virtual and physical shops, so I started to take the stones to the School of Gemology at the University of Barcelona, where they used to analyze them for me and they would tell me whether the gems were exactly what I thought I had bought.⁣ ⁣Finally I realized I didn’t want anyone else telling me whether the stone was this or that, if it was treated or “mistreated”, if it was synthetic or not. ⁣ ⁣So that’s why I decided to study. It was for this reason that I studied 2 years of Gemology, and got the title of Gemologist from the School of Gemology at the University of Barcelona. ⁣ ⁣Of everything that I learned during these years, I have come to this conclusion: When you buy a high-end car you don’t go and open the bonnet to find the motor and the technology of a low cost car. In the world of gems – you do. You buy a ruby and what you are really buying is a red colored stone, which can be anywhere from red colored pieces of glass to a genuine ruby, through to synthetic rubies, spinels, garnets, treated rubies; whose commercial value is not even close to what you paid for it.” - Lola Sanchez, MD Maya Gems⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣I thank Lola for following me, and for her encouraging responses to posts, but mostly for standing up for standards that look out for everyone’s interests when shopping for gems and jewelry.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#repost @mdmaya_gems⁣ ⁣__________________⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Four tourmalines for your custom jewelry. ❤❤❤❤ — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2HsIjpG

oh fuck when did you get into murder drones!!! i always loved your spinels so this is super exciting. i love the nori and yeva comic..... nori and khan (and uzi too, so i guess the doormans in general, hah) are such important characters to me and they seen to get such little love in the fandom. i like the name Nickolai for Dolls dad, too!!!

I got into the show fairly recently :)

The first of it I saw was a clip of the final fight on tiktok and I thought, "hmm.. good animation.. catchy song.. spooky vibes.. VIOLENCE.. creepy robot wearing human skin like a onesie, eh alright I'll look into it." And now look where I am lol

The animation is excellent and the humor is spot on. It's been my new background noise ever since.

--

The spinels will be making cameos here and there. Maybe not all of them, but at least the main three with a couple more sprinkled in (:

I've been working on MD versions of Spade, Club, Spinel, Rook and Poppy which I'll toss up eventually.

--

I wish we coulda seen more with Nori and Yeva too. But it's hard to explore background characters and keep with the main story in a limited series. So to compensate, I'm just gonna throw my own headcannons to the wind and make up random crap I think is funny (:

I got more planned with Nori, Yeva, Khan and others in the works

Some serious, most stupid af tho
