Seeing a Diamond other than Steven in Little Homeworld (or near it, technically she wasn’t inside it) was the last thing Jasper expected. But there she was, looking around serenely as if some tourist.

“M-My Diamond....?”

[elastigem]

Blows a heart shaped clouds at her. For reasons. ( Those reasons being she loves her ).

Spinel squeals in delight, hops on one of the clouds, and bounces up to give her a hug.

    Steven figured it wouldn’t be FAIR to leave Beach City without saying a proper goodbye to a few others. Not that he visits Homeworld often, anyways, but the Diamonds and Spinel helped him when he was at his lowest-- he feels like he should let them know about his decision, too. He already told Connie when he started making the plan, and his dad, and most of Beach City. Not the gems on Earth yet, but...he’ll get to that. 

   After visiting before, he knows his way through the halls of the castle, pushing open the door to Blue’s room when he arrives. A part of him worried that going to Homeworld again would result in disaster, but he’s been...talking through some stuff, starting to handle his thoughts and trauma. “Blue, hi!” He gives a quick wave, along with a small smile. “I-- uh, wanted to make a quick visit, to tell you guys something.”

Ariel was certainly impressed by how Homeworld had changed since she-- since Pink Diamond had last seen it. So much life and laughter on it. Yet, perhaps, that made it all the more concerning to the faux-Quartz. Another thing that Rose had left others to do was done. 

Shaking her head, Ariel knocked on the door to Blue Diamond’s room, every part of her light body shaking with worry. She’d have to do this eventually, she knew. So she may as well get this out of the way now.

😡

Send 😡 for an unpopular opinion about roleplay/fanfics/general fandom things

I know this is something I’ve discussed on my blog before but like...you really, really can do worst than ste/ven/el. While I’m not personlly a fan of the ship (for a number of reasons), it honestly makes me more uncomfortable that I keep seeing people go out of their way to make posts about how the shippers are “horrible people” or “should feel bad.” Like...no? No they shouldn’t?? I could write a whole essay on why shipping ste/ven/el is in no way shape or form supporting or encouraging  ped/oph/ill/ia, and why saying it does is insulting.  But I won’t unless someone needs me to.

Ask people to tag their stuff, block said tags, and move on with your life. If it really, truly deeply bothers someone to even think about the concept of someone shipping it, politely ask people not to follow if they do. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

                    as   she   nears   their   meeting   spot,   grief   threatens   to   overcome   her.   DAMN   HER!!   why   here?   why   now?   the   news   is   fresh   &&   raw   &&  seeping.   sorrow   could   wait.   mourning   could   wait.   they   needed   a   plan   of   attack   —-   to   strike   &&   retaliate   against   the   earth   &&   those   defective   gems.   they   didn’t   have   time   for   this!!   ...   and   yet   here   they   are,   lost   amid   a   tower   of   pink.

                    “   i   received   your   message,   ”   she   begins,   bringing   herself   to   stand   shoulder   -   to   -   shoulder   with   the   other,   facing   out   into   a   swarm   of   bubbled   gems.   “   a   dangerous   bit   of   parchment   ...   should   it   fall   into   the   wrong   hands.   ”   there   is   an   edge   to   her   one,   awkward   &&   bitter   against   her   tongue.   they   can’t   afford   to   give   away   their   location   so   easily.   WHAT   IF   —-   ??   NO.   the   loss   of   one   diamond   is   more   than   enough   to   suffer   through.

Form laid trembling on the paneled floor, limbs twitching and convulsing. Spinel didn’t understand what was h a p p e n i n g to her. Everything had been perfectly fine that day. Just as it had been the day before that, and the day prior to that. She had just been looking for something a bit different. Looking for something fun and interesting that she had yet to discover. And she had clearly paid for it.

Clusters of violet and pink slowly made their presence known, creeping over her physical form, staining it. Further T A I N T I N G the appearance the pink gem already found repulsing.

“St-Stop. Please.” Spinel whimpered, hands grasping blindly at her pigtails, pulling at her hair. As though that would have woken her from this living nightmare.

           “My Diamond.  May I.. ask you something?”  The small Beryl requested, hands up in the Diamond salute.  Although the motion wasn’t necessary any longer, Aquamarine still insisted on doing it.

@melancholeyes​ said: “Pink. Are you — drawing?” The immense mountain of her figure shifted, peering down to where the tiny Diamond perched on the arm of her command chair. Doodles had replaced the holopad of data she instructed Pink to study, odd little shapes and lines. Blue sighed, that faint smile tainted with exasperation. “What is it this time?”

Magenta hues look up from the holopad, now fixating on the elder diamond. A smile forms 'pon fuchsia features as she nods in response. ❛ Yeah, I'm drawing us! I was doing all that reading but then it got really boring so I decided to take a break. ❜ Pink then points at different shapes on the holopad, explaining what was going on. ❛ So, that's you and that's me, we're in the garden. Spinel is in the background with the flowers! I haven't colored it in yet but, I thought it looked nice. Do you like it, Blue?❜

The hall echoed with whispers from the upper galleries of the Blue Court, snippets of gossip, secrets and idle chatter seethed through the crowds. Most conversations held the same topic: the Earth Rebellion. It had been two centuries since rebels led by a Rose Quartz and her renegade Pearl were ravaging Pink Diamond’s fledgling colony and rumors were flying that war might be on the horizon. It was a terrifying thought to many; the idea of Gems fighting each other seemed anathema, insanity even! 

Not since the darkest days of the empire’s formation had such a thing occurred. Many wondered if it would spread and lead to all out civil war. All chatter silenced as a pair of massive Wulfenites blew their trumpets to call the Court to order, followed shortly by an Aquamarine floating over the platform in the middle of the rounded room. 

“And now, presenting Our most glorious Radiance,” She announced, her high-pitched voice carrying easily across the halls. “Lady and Mistress of the Celedon System, Overmind of the Pulsidar Stars, Commandatrix of the Aqualia Colonies, Our most benevolent leader, Blue Diamond!”

As she finished every Gem across the Gallery crossed their arms together in a unanimous salute to their Diamond as the massive double doors opened, followed by the sounds of a Palanquin stomping it’s way into the hall.

“ALL HAIL BLUE DIAMOND!”

“All Hail Blue Diamond.” Baddeleyite chanted in time with the rest of the hall, standing to the side of the platform with the other Gems scheduled to present their reports to Blue Diamond herself.

Sky Blue Discovery {Closed RP}

F O R  @melancholeyes​ || STEVEN UNI!VERSE AU 💎☀️

IT would be around an early earth morning cycle when Pink Diamond had called for Coral to her to appear by the sky arena. Apparently one of the diamonds was expected to visit soon and Pink wanted both her pearl and her coral at her side.

Before the visit, Pink instructed for Coral to disguise her into a different gem of her choosing so she wouldn’t be shown right away. Remembering a familiar face before, Coral chose... a Carnelian and awaited her orders. Only a few minutes would pass before Pink stepped out of her Palanquin to see the large blue hand emerge from the sky!

Pink waved from above before Pearl looked at the ‘Carnelian’, suggesting the salute in which the red gem replicated. A bit of nerves were starting to bundle, but the new gem had to hold herself steady.
