Is fusing considered vaguely intimate in the AU? Harry having fused a bunch and Black Opal being Kim's first fusion kind of mirrors Ruby and Sapphire, and the idea that Kim gets a bit bashful or embarrassed about it in front of other people is kinda funny to me.

I'd like to think that because of the general lack of intimacy in Disco Elysium and Martinaise (people seem to almost never hug or kiss each other / engage in pda and the hug with the working class woman is treated as a very rare interaction), fusion can be intimate for some or at least somewhat taboo. Not necessarily frowned upon by the people of Martinaise but moreso uncomfortable and surprising. I guess it would be less that people are surprised that there's a fusion and more that anybody likes another person in Martinaise or Revachol enough to want to fuse out of anything but utilitarian purposes. All of Martinaise is touch starved and its pretty unusual for that to be proven wrong by anyone. Fusion is definitely frowned upon by the Moralintern and generally by the RCM as a complex, but is still done nonetheless (within C Wing however fusion is less frowned upon). The RCM is based on a partner system after all. Its bound to be that the partners fuse for combat or even recreationally but in the police they are expected to unfuse after their mission is accomplished. I think of how the RCM officers are so limited in their firearms and ammunition and I think fusion is treated like a weapon that needs to be monitored and controlled. Permafusions are incredibly uncommon, though they are more common amongst communist circles and the underground (as a commie pansexual myself I think I speak from the heart). More of my ideas and reasoning under the read more!

I think Harry and Jean could have experimented before with fusing on their good days. Or alternatively, they could have rushed to fuse in a stressful situation or to apprehend a suspect. However, its risky to do so because when a fusion poofs, all gems that make up a fusion poof at the same time. Its seen as a last resort on the field.

It's possible that Jean could have fused with Harry when he poofed, since Harry's RCM cloak has some bullet holes implying he was shot / poofed before in the line of duty, to draw him forcibly out of his gem after unfusing. Like in the Change Your Mind finale of the show where to reform the crystal gems quickly Steven fuses with their gems, and they reform after they unfuse. In Harry's case forcing him out of his gem before he's ready to reform could be what contributed to his damaged psyche and unhealthy view towards fusing, as gems need to recuperate while poofed which is why it takes them so long to reform. The less time a gem takes to reform the more unstable their form and abilities are and Harry would definitely have experienced the consequences of never taking care of himself when he's down since Jean or someone else would force him right back into the ring again.

I think that Jean and Harry's fusion would be a fairly volatile and negative being, prone to humorless self deprecation. A bit like Smoky Quartz is prone to self deprecating jokes in Steven Universe, but here its genuinely toxic. Their fusion usually brings out the worst of them both. I don't think they're Malachite levels of unstable and toxic, but that their morbid humor and combined depression can have poor results. However its not all negative with them as when Jean and Harry are able to synchronize enough to maintain their fusion, the brotherly camaraderie is able to shine through and they cheer each other on with more confidence. I'm not sure how different the fusion would be before and after Harry's retrograde amnesia, but I have some general ideas I'll share at a later time.

I definitely think Kim would be most likely to unfuse first with Harry, less because he doesn't enjoy fusion (he really, really does), but more so that he is more anxious to be caught by surprise or to stand out, which is kind of what fusions do lol. In Martinaise people may not care so much as its a place largely abandoned by any kind of real repercussions, but he still has a reputation he cares about more than Harry does. And Harry has a somewhat unhealthy view of fusion, where its something that is becoming a better person than he thinks he is and disappearing into another person, rather than a mutual dance or union of partners. So this leads to Kim being hesitant to fuse with Harry unless he is able to convince him that their fusion isn't an excuse to disappear into a better half but to instead become someone that represents the joy they both share with each other, as equals.

And yes, Kim is bashful to be a fusion and it is his first time fusing. He may have wanted to fuse with Eyes in the past but never did and regrets not fusing. He thinks its crazy that anyone would ever want to fuse with him. But over time Harry and Kim fuse more often and it starts to represent their love for each other.

HI ‼️‼️

can i get uhhhh help w a ydau and wdau for a second??

for the ydau, i need fusions between yellow diamond + a demantoid, yellow diamond + a rose quartz (not PD), yellow diamond + yellow spinel and yellow diamond + a default version of blue pearl - yellow is undercover as mali garnet btw

i also need help w the demamtoid's components (rubies n sapphires are roleswapped in the au if that helps lol)

for the wdau, i need a few ideas on a multicolored quartz white can go undercover as

as well as fusions between that quartz and

-a hessonite

-a flint

-a default version of pink pearl

Yeah absolutely!!

Yellow + Demantoid = sphene, parti sapphire

Yellow + a Rose Quartz = tangerine quartz, honey stone

Yellow + Yellow Spinel = golden beryl, yellow calcite

Yellow + Blue Pearl = green moissanite, fuchsite?

Ahh, so you would like the Demantoid to still be a Ruby + Sapphire fusion, but with different types of corundum?

Demantoid = green sapphire + ruby, yellow sapphire + blue sapphire?

For the WD!AU could you explain what 'default version' means before I give my answer?

Other than that:

I feel like White Diamond could make a decent Iris Agate, Rainbow Quartz, or Herkimer Diamond?

IA, RQ, or HD + Hessonite = rainbow scapolite, rainbow pyrite, welo opal

IA, RQ, or HD + Flint = rainbow moonstone, rainbow hematite, opalite?

IA/RQ/HD + Default!Pink Pearl = angel skin opal, (pink?) moissanite, perhaps scallop pearl?

Smiling Critters in Steven Universe

I feel like if the Smiling Critters were characters in Steven Universe, this is what I believe what gem they would be:

Dogday would either be an Orange Topaz, Clinohumite, Orange Opal, Orange Sphalerite, Orange Fluorite, or Orange Agate.

Catnap will probably be Tanzanite, Purple Apatite, Purple Scapolite, Amythest, or Purple Fluorite.

Picky Piggy would be Pink Pearl, Pink Spinel, Rhodochrosite, Pink Tourmaline, Rhodonite, Pink Fluorite, Rose Quartz, Pink Smithsonite, or Pink Cobalto Calcite.

Kickin' Chicken would be Yellow Sphene, Yellow Tourmaline, Cymophane, Yellow Garnet, Yellow Zircon, Yellow Topaz, Yellow Sphalerite, Yellow Idocrase, Yellow Jade, Yellow Beryl, Citrine, Yellow Fluorite, Gold, Amber, or Yellow Jasper.

Hoppy Hopscotch would be Green Jadeite, Emerald, Green Garnet, Green Tourmaline, Green Zircon, Green Smithsonite, Green Andalusite, Peridot, Green Bowenite, Green Apatite, Green Diopside, Hiddenite, Green Moldavite, Green Nephrite, Green Agate, Malachite, Moss Agate, Green Fluorite, Green Aventurine, Green Moonstone, Green Prehnite, or Green Jasper.

Bobby Bearhug would be Red Beryl, Ruby, Red Spinel, Rubellite, Red Zircon, Red Tourmaline, Andesine, Carnelian, Sard, Red Garnet, Cuprite, Red Agate, Sardonyx, Red Fluorite, or Red Jasper.

Budda Bubbaphant would be Sapphire, Benitoite, Blue Opal, Blue Garnet, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Zircon, Blue Spinel, Lolite, Labradorite, Blue Idocrase, Blue Pearl, Blue Apatite, Kyanite, Turquoise, Sodalite, Blue Hemimorphite, Blue Topaz, Blue Fluorite, Blue Agate, Blue Smithsonite, Blue Chalcedony, Azurite, Larimar, Blue Aventurine, Hawk's Eye, or Blue Chrysocolla.

And CraftyCorn would be White Opal, Blue Opal, any Opal really, White Spinel, White Star Sapphire, Moonstone, Beryllonite, White Jade, White Prehnite, White Oligoclase, White Danburite, White Pearl, White Chalcedony, Howlite, Milk Quartz, Bismuth, Rainbow Quartz, Rainbow Moonstone, Rainbow Fluorite, Fire Agate, Iris Agate, Labradorite, Spectrolite, Rainbow Aura Quartz, Mystic Topaz, Roman Glass, Luna Flash, or Abalone Shell.

I would find it interesting to find fan art of this, or even a whole au.

[starry-blue-echoes]

I've been playing Cult of the Lamb recently and it reminded me of your Cult of the Diamond Au. How would Jotaro or Joesph fit in? I mean, they're basically Josuke's father figures here (despite the fact that Jotaro is technically his nephew and Joesph isn't exactly... all there). Maybe Iolite for Joesph, and just Platinum for Jotaro? or maybe Opal? Opal is usually representative of the ocean and water, fitting for the Ocean Man himself.

Or how about Reimi? Rose Quartz? I can see her as the one who watches over the hall of fallen soldiers. Would Aya be roped in at some point? She could be a Morganite or Coral, if she doesn't get killed that is. Speaking of killings, what about Kira? Are they going to give him a deific name too? Maybe to draw him out of hiding or force others to be on the lookout?

If he does get one, maybe Moissanite or Cubic Zirconia, both of which are used as artificial Diamonds, and could be sold as the Real Evil in this Cult instead of the Sapphire. Or perhaps a Ruby? Rubies represent fire and heat, great for explosions. There are also plenty of gemstones that are deadly too, like Asbestos. Yeah, I was shocked too when I found out it was a crystal. there's also Cinnabar, Chalcanthite, and Orpiment as well.

Yeah, I know Josuke says that The Sapphire is only the Opposite of the Diamond, but people will still see things in black and white. And if the Diamond is sold as good and the Sapphire is the opposite, then what's the opposite of good? Some people are still going to see the Sapphire as evil so if we have something to call truly call evil then the blame will be shifted from Okuyasu to Kira.

I also have an idea for a Cult-like au for Stardust Crusaders. Do Cults not go on Crusades to convert more followers?

TGDVJDVMDVD YOU KNOW I STARTED THIS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WAS POST PART 4 BUT THIS BEING DURING IS SO MUCH FUNNIER-

like. slowly for years Josuke has (albeit accidentally) been creating this cult. He keeps his identity a secret because of how young he was to play on the safer side and every few weeks he puts on his disguise with Crazy D and makes his rounds around the hospital. Little does he know he's slowly amassed a rather large following that are really dedicated to him and what he does

I'd imagine it's only when Jotaro enters the picture that Josuke actually begins the realize just how much social/religious power he's amassed and is very happy he's kept his identity as The Great Diamond secret. Don't get him wrong, he does like the attention, but he's also pretty confident this wouldn't go over super well with his mom and would attract WAY more attention than he initially intended to get. Plus, he likes being able to have Just A Regular Highschool Social Life thank you very much

he does need to be careful around other Stand Users. Luckily most of them are onboard with it since Josuke isn't taking advantage of these people or asking them anything in return, and the ones that aren't are usually able to be intimidated into silence if need be. And if they don't...... yeah they're not going to get a lot of people to believe him, Josuke's had YEARS of helping the Morioh people, and they're going to stick by him

also, I had a sort of idea? Like, to keep identities hidden and lives separate, Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to make not quite costumes, but semi elaborate outfits using some items and rearranging everything in a way that it looks physically impossible to create with normal means. All it took was some old clothes, metal plates, plastics and some other miscellaneous things and bam he had a full outfit reminiscent of that of his Stand that was both impossible to remove without Crazy D's power and completely hid his identity

(also, I forgot to mention this, but I'm working off the idea that Josuke and the other Stand Users involved are all being seen as "vessels" for their respective assigned god. Did they plan ahead for when they eventually died and their Stands disappeared? no, not at all, they genuinely didn't realize how far things had gotten)

I love the idea of Jotaro becoming The Opal. He would definitely become a protective, somewhat guiding figure. The Opal is known for his strength, his speed, his cunning. He is the unstoppable force whose protective reach knows no bounds, who will reign down untold fury like a tsunami if any of his fellow Gemstones are harmed. He is someone who is to be respected and not messed with, but there is no doubt he will always do what is in the best interest for others (the second Jotaro saw how devoted Josuke's following was he all but demanded to be present for at least a few of the "meetings" just to make sure Josuke wasn't in too deep and that he wasn't going to get hurt)

Joseph on the other hand is more of a distant protector, sort of a patron for the elderly. The Iolite is someone who is wise, albeit often vague and a bit confusing at times. They are experienced and have seen so much the world has to offer, and now they spend the rest of their days being allowed the weakness that comes with age

BIG YES WITH REIMI. The Rose Quartz is someone who watches over the deceased but also ensures their unfinished business is dealt with. She watches over than and serves as the bridge between the land of the living and the land of the dead, and is known as one who can pass on the messages and prayers of those alive to their loved ones. She's essentially a Goddess of Death, but a kind one who cares for all the souls who pass on

If Aya doesn't die, she's definitely one of the Stand Users who's more of a "minor" god. She'll pop in on occasion for an appearance or two every few months if available, but mostly sticks to her beautician work.

while I do think Kira might get turned into a sort of boogie man later down the line, I also think that Josuke would do whatever he could to keep them uninvolved. After all, they're just Normal People. They're not equipped to deal with a hidden serial killer, plus he doesn't want to risk revealing his identity if Kira connects the dots. The Ruby could be a good option, maybe becoming something of a "fallen god." The Ruby could be known for selfishness, cruelty and a general lack of care for others. Maybe something to do with "The Ruby had the power and ability to do good, but chose to harm others instead with the gifts he was given"

and ooooooooooo I really like the possible thing with Okuyasu. Maybe in the beginning when they first introduced The Sapphire it was all good but started being misunderstood, so all the main people involved had a big brainstorming session to try and figure things out. Eventually they landed on villainizing Kira (bastard deserved it honestly), and slightly shifting the word usage of how they described The Sapphire. Instead of just leaving it at "The Sapphire is the opposite of The Great Diamond" they made it more "The Great Diamond heals bad things and The Sapphire gets rid of the bad completely." This way it keeps them being opposites, but puts them in the much more positive light of Different Methods, Similar Outcome

as for the last bit, I'm going to be competently honest, I misread it and my first thought was "Josuke going on a crusade to Italy and accidentally fucking with the plot"

Hi everyone! So I’m back from my short little break, and I got to work making some of the official art for my UTAUs! This one is for QuartzTale, and it showcases all the main/main side characters of the AU!! Their names are Sapphire, Ruby, Amethyst, Opal, Emerald and Quartz(if you saw the post I did with my main OCs, you’ll notice Quartz and Sapphire).

This is my most recent AU, and I hope you guys enjoy the art! Let me know what you think! PS: I may or may not still be doing the Mid Fight Masses drawings, I don’t know.

[beevean]

Trope rating, role reversal au?

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

It's very broad, so it depends. It could be as lazy as something like Underswap, where they basically just redesign the characters - like, Sans in the role of Papyrus acts exactly like Papyrus would. But it can be used in very creative ways: if it counts, one of my favorite concepts of all time is the Opal AU for Steven Universe, where Pearl and Amethyst are the Gems living as a Permafusion rather than Ruby and Sapphire. That is very cool and it comes with all sorts of changes in the plot and characterization!

[thiefguard]

your bruising headcanons were excellent

may i humbly request smutty headcanons too 🥺

Hi anon, thank you so much! I had a lot of fun writing them :3

Ofc you can request smutty hcs!!!

AU where Lamp was born from a mining-based economy :)

Queen

The Kingdom was built on its mines, literally and figuratively. Everyone knows of the wonders that lie beneath. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires beyond compare. As a child, (the small and future) Queen learns the smooth, cool touch of her mother’s opals long before she learns of the labour that bore them. Her teenage years are a string of suitors, each offering ever more splendid prizes. Aquamarines, from the riverland depositories. Jade from the sea-shelf, tourmaline from the mountains.

All would win her favour with jewels. None would tell her the truth of their harvest.

But the Queen has eyes, and in time she has power. Sense to see the back-breaking labour, sanity to put an end to it. She tours the shafts. Trails her fingertips along the walls until they come away black with smut. She meets the workers, listens to their stories, hears their coughs as dust rattles through their lungs.

The mines are shuttered. Past centuries bought forth enough jewels to last lifetimes. Let her people emerge from the dark and breathe in the light. Let their gemstones fill museums, not vaults. Let them trade, and smith, and work the stones for pleasure, not survival.

She styles herself to set a precedent. The court’s halls are hung with portraits of Ancestors who could hardly stand beneath the weight of their ceremonial jewels. For herself, she selects a single, simple piece. A pendant with a malachite stone, that reminds her of her mother’s eyes.

“Beautiful,” a husky voice murmurs one morn. Bold fingers brush the pendant, and the Queen gazes up into unfamiliar eyes. ‘Beautiful’, the word echoes in her mind, then ‘yes, oh yes you are.’

Priestess

Tess can barely remember a time before the Sound. Logically - when her mind is settled enough for reason - she knows it wasn’t always there. She wasn’t born with the ringing in her ears. Didn’t grow with the reverberation of it pulsing through her her veins. Didn’t stumble into adulthood with the deafening urgency pulling her towards it, every moment of every day.

So. There must have been a beginning, but that moment is as lost to the surface as she is.

It was a relief, the first time she realised that the sound grew louder in proximity to the mine shafts. Because if it has a source, then there must be a Reason, and if she can understand the reason, then perhaps the ceaseless, endless, terrible noise might finally abate.

She packs little for her journey. Perhaps part of her senses that supplies will be of little use below the surface. Perhaps part of her knows that she won’t be coming back.

She hesitates, just for a moment, on the precipice. One foot inside, palm coated with soot as she presses it to the stone wall and feels the sound echoing from below.

All she truly knows is that every step, every turn, every descent, takes her closer to the source of the Sound, and she cannot, will not, must not rest until she finds it.

Guard

He refuses to be bested by a common jewel thief.

The mines are perilous, have been shuttered for centuries, but the allure of the gems within remains.

Guard has worked many roles within the Citadel. He began as a boy, guarding stalls in the central market. From there, he graduated to the docks, proved himself protecting the fisherfolk and their catch. His time at the Temple was a promotion in name, but he found that he missed the sea breeze, the creak of wood, the lap of waves. Patrolling the corridors, he learned not to ask questions, not to look anyone directly in the eye. And then… the Incident, and now – the mines.

The role is a punishment, he knows that. A lesson in guarding his tongue more than guarding the deep, cavernous passages. Only madmen would attempt to break and enter here. Madmen – and a jewel thief.

For weeks he catches only the faintest glimpses. A shadow on the wall. The twitch of a cloak. A flash of blonde at the end of a corridor, gone in a blink. He might even doubt himself, if she didn’t want him to know she was there.

At first it’s just snatches of laughter, ringing out from the end of a corridor.

As he comes to learn her favoured routes, he finds symbols crudely hewn into the stone. Trailmarkers, obviously intended to throw him off the scent. This arrow leads to a channel so narrow as to be impassable, that one to a gap only a child could squeeze through.

She’s taunting him, teasing him, and the longer it lasts, the more determined he becomes to catch her.

He sets traps, lies in wait. Follows the routes she’s prone to taking, maps the antechambers he thinks she’s searching for. Here, where the last trove of diamonds was mined. Or there, where emeralds were as plentiful as pebbles.

Once, he follows her so deep for so long that he turns around on himself. Looks up to find the paths unfamiliar, no sign of his markers to guide him. An hour passes, then another. He tries first this fork in the path, then a tunnel that leads towards a distant hum. The longer he walks, the darker it becomes. He feels the first lick of fear long before his lamp dies. He sits, then. Feels the cold of the walls seep into his skin as he tries in vain to recall his steps.

Just as panic is beginning to set in truly, a flicker of light.

A full passage away, but closer than he’s ever seen her. Blonde, yes, and smaller than he’d thought, but the dim candlelight casts a shadow that rises to the ceiling – that almost touches him as she crooks a beckoning finger.

Her cheeks are grimed with soot and her grin is all at his expense, but for a moment’s blessed relief, Guard allows himself to be bested by the jewel thief and guided back to daylight.

Teller

Teller grew up on stories of the mines, but has never set foot in one until Jul disappears.

Oh, it’s not so dramatic as all that. No sudden Vanishing, here one moment and gone the next. When she’s deep on an exploration, he can go weeks without seeing her – months, if he should travel while she’s underground.

But as summer ebbs into autumn without a glimpse, the browning of the leaves brings a sense of… unease.

It’s silly, he knows, to think that he could stroll straight out of the Temple, shimmy down the nearest shaft and find her in an afternoon. But still. He can try.

He doesn’t go unprepared. Magister would give him men, he knows, and all the supplies he could need. But first he would need to Ask, and then he would need to Explain, and neither of those are conducive to actually Doing. And so, just this once, he takes a leaf out of Jul’s book and Takes.

The map book Magister keeps in his quarters is beautifully illustrated. Teller has watched him pore over it for hours, always cleansing his hands reverently before turning its pages. The whole Citadel is here – its streets and tunnels, above ground and below. The mines will have changed shape over the centuries, he knows, altered by cave-ins and erosions and neglect. But he has a start.

The map helps for far longer than he might have expected. It charts a true course, leads him through narrow, winding tunnels that must surely pass well beyond the boundaries of the Citadel.

His guilt grows as his coal-black fingers incriminate themselves upon the pristine pages. And so he looks, learns, and stows it away. He's sure that he remains on course, certain that his recollection is true, even as he enters an unmarked ante-chamber. A vaulted ceiling that has no right to be here. A shaft of light, impossible at these depths. And a distant sound that might be running water, but sounds like no stream Teller has ever crossed.

Most curiously, most temptingly, most bafflingly of all… at the center of the room, a pedestal. Hewn from marble of a shining cream, topped by a plush red pillow of the softest silk. And there, in the center... incongruous, illogical, but oh so very real... a pristine brass oil lamp, just begging to be touched.

Question: X-Men from Fusion AU merge of which gems?? Are there any thoughts???

Yes yes yes! So many thoughts!!!

Okay, let's start with the the adults!

I can see Xavier as a fusion between a White Sapphire half and a Moss Green Pearl half, making Green Moonstone Xavier!

Storm is a Lapis Lazuli half and a Grossular (White) Garnet half, making her Turquoise Storm!

Logan would probably be a Jasper half and and a Morion Jasper half, making Hawk's Eye Logan!

I can see Beast as a fusion between a Sodalite half and a Blue Topaz half, making Kyanite Beast!

Magneto would be an Iron half and a Tungsten half, making Magnesium Magneto!

Mystique would probably be a Blue Quartz half and a Dumortierite half, making Holly Blue Agate Mystique!

Sabretooth likely would be a Lemon Quartz half and a Biggs Jasper half, making Tiger's Eye Sabretooth!

Now, I'm not sure about the teens/younger gems, but I can think on it some more...

Kitty is likely a Pink Pearl half and a Morganite half, making her a Rhodochrosite Kitty!

Kurt would possibly be a Blue Spinel half and a Skinny Blue Quartz half, making him a Sodalite Kurt!

Rogue could be a Ruby half and an Emerald half, making her an Anyolite Rogue!

Jean would be an Auburn Pearl half and a Cherry Quartz half, making her a Fire Opal Jean!

Scott would be a Brown Sapphire half and a Ruby half, making him a Pyrope Scott!

Evan would be a Fossil Coral half and a Topazolite (Yellow) Garnet, making him a Howlite Evan!

I'm not sure about the Broterhood teens yet, or the Acolyte teens, but I'm working on it...

Legend has let me make a GemXAOT thing along with my AOT OCs cause I'm silly

Eren >

I think Eren would be a Lapis Lazuli. It's kinda a take from the show with Lapis being trapped and wanting something only to realise what she wanted wasn't possible (Eg. Going back to homeworld, being normal/accepted, you know). Plus, Lapis Lazuli can make a giant body form of water like how Eren can turn titan.

Mikasa>

I'm kinda stuck on a Pearl, a Jasper or a Ruby. They all fit the personality of being Obedient and or loyal to a singular person like Pearl being loyal to Pink, but a Jasper and Ruby are prone to being for offence and defence while Pearls are used for entertainment. I guess it's up for opinions.

Armin >

I think Armin would be an Amethyst but a runt. He'd be overcooked(... Pun), so He'd use intelligence instead like in the OG.

Jean >

He's a citrine. Idk why, just accept it

Connie and Sasha >

They are both crazy lace Agates. They'd fuse oftenly I think

Reiner >

He'd be a Jasper due to his big form and great strength. Another take from the show cause he has conflictions and believed in things that he shouldn't have.

Bertholdt >

A Onyx of sorts would probably suit him. Tall, symbolising quiet, you know.

Annie >

She's a Ocean Jasper (Would this make Aruani cuter? Yes, yes it would). She has incredible strength, isn't that talkative, and yeah, she just suits a Ocean Jasper.

Ymir >

A fire opal. I don't have much excuse except for the fact fire opals are also praised (Y'know, cause she led a cult?)

Historia >

Aquamarine. Aquamarines are superior in the gem world, and since being a diamond wouldn't make much sense personally, I think that's her position

Levi >

He'd be a fusion of a Pearl and Obsidian, but due to the components, He'd be incredibly strong and swift, so He'd be valued as a fighter.

Erwin >

Something just screams Topaz. Idk why, but yeah

Hange >

She's a Peridot due to her crazy intelligence and her lust to discover and record.

OCs

Adela >

This might make me sound like I'm a Mary sue kinda OC maker person, but Adela would probably be like Steven, but a Lil different? Adela would probably be a half human half Sapphire due to her ability to see the future through instinct.

Apollo >

Like Adela cause they're siblings, but he'd also have Bismuth DNA due to his big form and incredible strength.

Carmen >

Is a perfect Amethyst.

Juliana >

She's a Zircon due to being a lawyer for Eren (She has defended him so many times/sdw). But instead of being medium class, she'd be very valued due to in the OG AU, she is part of a Rich and famous family

Sullevan >

He'd be a Pearl due to having to serve the Dawnson family in the OG AU.

Ling Mei >

She'd be a Lapis Lazuli but because her titan is a sea based titan designed to cross oceans.

Alexanor >

He'd be a Sapphire due to his ability to also see the future. Like... What else would he be?
