this crystal is called rainbow lattice sunstone 😇

feldspar minerals are probably my favorite minerals. i don't know that much about minerals but from what i do know i think feldspar is the best mineral group

Behold! My half of a collab with the beloved @daily-geminitay (bestie!!! <3)!

We both designed two different gemcyt Gem and Grian fusions together, inspired by @chrisrin's au - theirs is based off of s1 esmp!Gem and Watcher Grian with their Emerald Gem and Chrisrin's Aquamarine Grian + My Watcher Grian design, and is Hawk's Eye. Mine is based on s2 esmp!Gem and HC!Grian with Aquamarine Grian again and my own take on Chrisrin's Heaven Beetle Gem, forming Rainbow Lattice Sunstone!

Some design notes and progress designs under the cut for funsies -

I was originally going to just make their fusion just Sunstone, but finding a rainbow lattice sunstone with a perfect triangle pattern was far too tempting for some blatant Studio Trigger inspo, so their weapon is a drill that's also a matchstick, because both their base forms are very smol <3

Most of their outfit is based off of Gem's empires s2 skin and a general combined sun theme. I thought it'd be fun if Aquamarine Grian's water would turn into steam for their fusion, ergo the hair, and what used to be a steam ribbon/boa of sorts in the original draft. Also, if you look closely, Rainbow Lattice actually has two sets of eyes - Grian's eyes form their eyebrows!

Sugestão de algumas rainbow gems que dá vida real que eu conheço:

Rainbow Lattice Sunstone, Rainbow Moonstone,Hercynite (Spinel Variety), Iris Agata, Rainbow Aura Quartz,Mystic Aura Quartz, Dragon Aura Quartz, Rainbow Fulgurite, Rainbow Hematite, Spectrolite (Labradorite Variety), Rainbow Chalcopyrite, Rainbow Azurite, Iridescente Stephanite, Kaleidoscope Prism Stone, Orgonite (Orgone Stone), Rainbow Obsidian, Marcasite, Rhenite and Rainbow Calcite.

Se eu pudesse faria uma lista como essa de possíveis gems que cada Diamante poderia criar kkkkkk

Perfeito! Pra mim, eu acho um tanto difícil encontrar variantes coloridas, a não ser por pesquisa com o nome da pedra específica. Fico feliz pelas sugestões dos fãs

I was inspired to try and make a d20 with similar patterning to one of my favourite rocks - a rainbow lattice sunstone.

How did I do?

The Worst Pittsburgh Pirate Offense of my Lifetime?

The Pittsburgh Pirates commenced May with successive series losses, recording an 0-7 start for the month, which stands as their worst performance to begin May since at least 1970. The Pirates opened the month with an 8-3 defeat against the Chicago Cubs and subsequently lost three consecutive games to the San Diego Padres, being swept in the series with a combined score of 15 to 5 and batting averages of .264 compared to .218. The downward trend persisted as the Pirates visited Busch Stadium to face the St. Louis Cardinals, where they were swept again in three games, with a cumulative run margin of 13 to 4. To date in May, the Pirates have been outscored 36 to 12 and have faced opponent batting averages of .277 compared to their own .183.

While preparing to write this analysis, I considered whether this might be the weakest Pirates offense I have experienced in my lifetime. I am now 37 years old and have been an avid Pirate fan since as early as I can remember which is around 2000.  Upon examining historical data, it actually is.

For comparison, I noticed the 2010 season during which the Pittsburgh Pirates had a record of 54-105 with an offense that ranked in the bottom three in most categories. This particular season stood out, prompting further investigation. The team's performance, especially offensively, was notably poor. In 2010, the Pittsburgh Pirates' offense ranked 29th in team batting average at .242, 28th in OPS at .678, and 29th in runs scored with 587. Comparing this to the current year's statistics revealed a concerning trend. The Pirates' 2025 batting average is .219, and their OPS is .625, far worse than the worst Pirates team I've ever witnessed in my lifetime.

Among the nine starting batters in 2010 compared to 2025, Joey Bart has a batting average of .264 and an OPS of .764, compared to his 2010 counterpart, Ryan Doumit, who had a batting average of .251 and an OPS of .738. A rare occurrence where the 2025 batter outperformed the 2010 batter at the same position.

 Enmanuel Valdez, the Pirates' first baseman in 2025, has a batting average of .209 and an OPS of .657, whereas Garrett Jones, his 2010 counterpart, had a batting average of .247 and an OPS of .720. At second base, 2025 starter Adam Frazier has a batting average of .229 and an OPS of .607, as opposed to Neil Walker's 2010 statistics of a batting average of .296 and an OPS of .811. K’Bryan Hayes, the 2025 third baseman and once perceived to be face-of-the-franchise, has a batting average of .254 and an OPS of .619, compared to Pedro Alvarez’s .256 batting average and .788 OPS.

The 2025 starting shortstop, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, has a batting average of .280, whereas Ronny Cedeno had a batting average of .256 in 2010; however, Kiner-Falefa's OPS is .663 compared to Cedeno’s .675.

The Leftfield spot shows perhaps the most disturbing differences, with Tommy Pham in 2025 hitting .183 with an OPS of .480, compared to Jose Tabata’s .299 batting average and .746 OPS in 2010. In centerfield, 2025 O’Neil Cruz has a batting average of .246, and Andrew McCutchen had a .286 average in 2010, but Cruz has a higher OPS at .861 compared to McCutchen's .814. Rightfield comparisons show Lastings Milledge in 2010 with a batting average of .236 and an OPS of .700, while Bryan Reynolds in 2025 has a batting average of .219 and an OPS of .632. Finally, since DH was not part of the National League in 2010, Delwin Young is considered for comparison. Young batted .236 with an OPS of .700, while 2025 DH Andrew McCutchen averages .257 with an OPS of .750.

Upon reviewing the data presented, it is notable that Lastings Milledge, whose performance during his tenure in Pittsburgh has often been regarded as subpar, actually exceeds the performance of Bryan Reynolds, who is consistently recognized as one of the Pirates' leading hitters.

Of the 18 categories mentioned above, the 2025 Pirates offense exhibits proficiency in only six. It is noteworthy that while the 2025 Pirates offense is projected to have 27 shutouts, the 2010 offense was shut out only 15 times during the entire season.

After thorough investigation, I believe that the 2025 lineup is the worst Pittsburgh Pirate offense I've ever seen which inevitably led to the dismissal of Derek Shelton.

Hi!! Im trying to come up with a 3 way fusion for my gem ocs and i was wondering if you could help? Its Lavender Pearl, Hawks Eye Quartz, and Angel Aura Quartz

For individual fusions (if it helps at all) Ive got

Lavender + Hawks Eye = Boulder Opal

Lavender + Angel = Rainbow Aura Quartz

Hawks Eye + Angel = Bloodstone

My only idea for the 3 of them rn is maybe a snowflake obsidian but im not sure

Sure!!! I have a few ideas already!!

Ocean jasper, butterfly jasper, or perhaps mookaite? Mookaite is a little saturated and warm for the colours I imagine you'd receive from two pastel and one darker cool-leaning gems, but the purple-r varieties might fit alright!

(Also you are entirely free to ignore this part as you didn't ask for any help in this area, however 'angel' and 'rainbow' aura quartz are actually the same gem- perhaps an iris agate or a rainbow lattice sunstone would work in its place?)

🌈 RAINBOW LATTICE SUNSTONE 🌈

She belonged to the White Diamond court; her purpose was the manipulation of light to turn it into any color and so it could be used in various ways, in addition some also helped with the Moonstones to spy; they were in ranges depending on how many rays come out of her head, which go from 4 to 10. When Era III arrived she decided to go to study at Little Homeschool, she doesn't like to remember the past so much even though it doesn't look so bad; she's a good friend of Purple Haze

[kiwiplur]

I make more Nighthaze Characters than i will ever be able to play so now i'm going to start making it everyone else's problem.

The who's who of it all is under the break

Black Trenchcoat: Zony (Zebra/Unicorn) Hacker. one of 4 characters I made based on the different campaign tones as stated in the operator's manual. He's based off the "black trenchcoat" tone which is all about gritty realism of cyberpunk reality, your Blade Runners and such. so I made him a paranoid wreck who will stop at nothing to wipe any system from knowing he ever existed.

Cranberry: Reindeer (Deer/Kirin) Support Gunner. Originally Sprite Cranberry™, made as a joke for a one-shot. She suddenly spun off into her own full on character with depth and an arc like said one off spun off into a campaign about figuring out who's doing all the shady shit in town. I made a second sheet for her so I can use her in vanilla campaigns just in case other Operators don't wanna use someone else's homebrew. Personality-wise, both Sprite Cranberry™ and Cranberry are virtually identical, however Cranberry I write to be a lot more relaxed since she's a baretender who only sometimes has to use the shotgun when things get hairy on the club. Her homebrew counterpart is instead a federal agent who frequently has to confront the fact that she was unemployed until a month ago. More often than not, she has to do so violently and with a shotgun.

Jazz Magnum: Abyssian Gunner. The streetrat with a badge, and originally the character I was going to go with for the oneshot I now play Cranberry in. However, the dedication to the bit overpowered me. He's very mechanically similar to cranberry, but instead of having two guns and a handful of utility spells, he uses just a pistol and is augmented with implants that compliment a run and gun playstyle. I'm playing him soon in another campaign i recently got to join so here's hoping!

Lucky Break: Dwarf Lagulus Pilot (homebrew). She exists because of a comic I was drafting before ultimately going forward with Sundown Trotten' instead. She was going to be one of two protagonists who are both gold hearted idiots who both lift each other up to be their best while simultaneously enabling the other's worst most chaotic behaviors. she and her friend are now in debt to the mob and compete in the Thunderdrome to pay it off. Her heritage is a homebrew one I made specifically because I wanted a herengon adjacent heritage in the game. blame D&D i wanna play as a character with bunny ears in your TTRPG is that so much to ask ;0;

Pink Mowhawk: Diamond Dog Augmented Brawler. The Second of 4 characters I based/named after the Operator manual's campaign tones. Pink Mowhawk is defined as your action oriented rule-of-cool type cyberpunk world, like the Cyberpunk TTRPGs, Cyberpunk 2077 or like Hi-fi Rush if it was a little grittier. Pink Mowhawk's a loud abrasive lad who's got a punch first ask questions later mentality. he's also a huge suntech dork because imo that's the rule-of-coolest part of most Cyberpunk settings for me so I wanted to lean into suntech enthusiasm for his personality. He's also asexual because nobody fucks with Pink Mowhawk. Nobody. I'm very funny please laugh.

Quartz Tick: Zony (Zebra/Pegasus) Augmented Brawler. Like Cranberry, he started out as a joke, but now he's his own character with lore because I really like Kamen Rider and I wanted to see how well I could adapt your standard rider-tropes into the Sundown Equestria setting most campaigns/oneshots use. He's got a bike that I hope I one day get to jump off of and dive kick some poor sap in a game one day because that would be sick as fuck

Rainbow Lattice: Crystal Pony. Somebody in the Nighthaze server said Rainbow Lattice would be a good pony name, and then I drew them. Because of their sporadic in the moment conception, they don't have a sheet lol. but they are a sunstone miner so if they did have one they'd prolly also an aug'd brawler? they're like the one dude in the sunstone mines who's there willingly because while prison labor's cheaper they're just that big on rocks. info-dumping about the other minerals they finds to whoever will listen

Shroud Whisper: Breezie Healer/utility spellcaster. Once again, another Joke turned full ass character that my brain made in response to finding out about DJ smokey's iconic producer tags. The main inspiration being Shadow Wizard Money Gang and We Love Casting Spells. She's a medicart medic who's ultra dedicated to her shadow wizard larp when not on the clock, who studies all magic she can hoping to find cool spells to cast. That's it. That's the character. She loves casting spells. Shadow Nuclear Breezies pledge your souls to the Shadow Princess.

Turn Tables: Changeling Infiltrator/Negotiator. My Cringebug Failhorse daughter who was my very first Nighthaze character sheet, and protagonist of a sunjackers fancomic I make called Sundown Trotten'. She's based off Leno, a pokemon OC i first used in PK-Rocker's Poke-Survivor. First as a contestant in season 4, and then as an assistant host in season 6. She's pretty much Leno except she struggles more with self worth and addiction rather than social interaction and gender identity. However, she's still grappling with the original concept of being a shapeshifter who's mask has become closer to the real her than her base look ever was.

0u0 Thank you for coming to my mcfucking odyssean ted talk on my cyberpunk children's show OCs. See you next week for even fucking more of them

[diegosouzalions]

if you made gems of rainbow moonstone(which is actually labradorite) and rainbow lattice sunstone(which is actually orthoclase) would you consider them as the type they are named as, the type they are chemically, or as a type of their own like you did with mint and golden beryls?

I would consider the chemical formula, since the name is not that important. Also, there is a variety of Corundum called "Oriental Amethyst", but it is actually a "Purple Sapphire", perhaps these varieties would change their shape a little (distanced from the original), just like the other varieties of Jade or Beryl. A great example is Iolite, which is nicknamed "Water Sapphire", is actually another Gem:

She's a Gem made by Nicole Rodrigues (from the crewniverse)

I found out about her thanks to @chromarrays
