also for an actual art piece to post, here's my most recent one!
for anyone who doesn't know me from twitter/discord, this is rhodochrosite, rhody for short! she's a fusion of my own creation, of spinel and my oc kunzite! she's a goofy magician lady and I love her dearly :>
I'll most likely make some kind of profile for her one day, I have so many things I want to do with her and her components and it makes me a little insane sometimes

New pokemon arc YESSSS
#vi rambling#pokemon#i have many thoughts. most importantly.#HE APPEARS. IN SUCH A SWEET SCENE. AUGH.... the expressions. honestly its so great that#theyre leaning into his honorable qualities and the fact that hes so desperate for recognition. that smile was so genuine and appreciative#im not huge on zir and conia as characters in the narrative but im so glad he had a support system of some kind. and he values it so much.#because he has barely been shown warmth. hes opening up from his solitude. ARGHHH#ideally this is where the main trio comes in but well... holding out dai sato dont disappoint me please do not disappoint me with his arc.#the opening visuals are beautiful. gibeon shown as well as lucius's past traveling party... mysterious third woman?#very intrigued. also by the implication of a direct confrontation with him?#amethio seemingly on the objective to prove himself against spinel is exactly what i wanted so im glad this is where we're going.#i dont think him backtracking on his development and personality qualities that shone so brightly in The Episode is a good move#we'll see. i hope i can trust them#that said i loved liko and dot and roy's shots in the op and the general emphasis on evolution as Development because this series leans#so nicely into character and narrative development that getting a sort of reflection of that visually in the op was great#i loved seeing liko wake up again on the brave asagi#and next episode. im not looking forward to in particular ngl#im notttt huge on carmine appearing at all. never found that character compelling and i dont see her fit in with the overall narrative but#i also said this about penny. so im willing to be corrected. for now.#in general the only way ill be waiting for next episode is. friede in the kitakami getup. send post.#im kidding it might have nice moments im just not too into that type of deal so early into the new arc.

anyways (still thinking about her), Pearl as a personality rly activates the everything in my brain like... if i knew someone like Pearl i would move mountains for them i would do anything for them. she deserves fun and a good time and for the attention to be on her, no responsibilities no having to look after anything. if anyone deserves a chaotic date night to remember it's her
thinking about Do It For Her. Pearl u pathetic lesbian, i understand you
#she also seems like she's easily flustered and would fold like a paper plate if you knew what she liked#i really like Pearl 😩 she deserves the world.#i love hard and am very present and caring in my relationships and ik what it's like when someone's all u want in life like..#that's it. u truly could not ask for more bc u r happy and chillin but ur person doesn't appreciate ur presence the same way#ppl who take care of everyone but themselves need someone who will take care of them too (´ . .̫ . `)#and that's me projecting too but even just in the show i rly like her personality. she's so cute 🤲🏾 i love everything about her#i do know someone kinda like her actually and i feel the same way about her ( ꈍᴗꈍ) ♡#ANYWAYS!!!! I am excited to get back into SU. im kind of impatient w having to finish the last season of my other show but#at least it's still rly good though 😹 the anticipation... i would've loved to see what they did if they didn't have to rush the last#season for the wedding (❁´◡`❁) i think it is very good storytelling and character development.#i also love that things get so good that there's not rly anyone to help anymore in Future. Steven deserves his tlc too#boy u had a traumatic childhood ૮ – ﻌ–ა u gotta process that and have people there for You too#heh and on a side note i love that spinel and the diamonds were rly close ( ꈍᴗꈍ) ♡ they deserve that.#i am a Steven universe fan!!! 😩 the movie is literally the only dvd i own. i think i mentioned the other day the soundtrack for#the show n movie were one of the few albums i bought lol 🚶🏾♀️ everyone in the show is so good.. i love all the gems#also vibing w Steven having to focus on himself and learn to be a person late in life bc he's not in survival/helper mode anymore. same.#i could keep going.. bye 😶🌫️#I'll stop talking about it when i finally get to start it lol#it's been so long..

— I THINK I LOVED YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE .
( WHERE I WAS THE SEA, & YOU WERE THE SHORE . ) ; general fluffy romantic headcanons for rafayel / qi yu from love and deepspace <3
CW: not beta read, general rafayel story/lore spoilers, may be slightly ooc, tooth-rotting fluff, very slight angst !!!
— RAFAYEL is a terribly sweet, loyal, and affectionate lover. sometimes, you think he is something like a lovesick puppy—always ready to greet you at the door with a warm hug when you return from a mission, always eagerly awaiting your phone calls and texts. always at your side. when he calls you darling and holds you close, burrows his head into the crook of your neck, you can't help but feel like your being has been warmed by a pleasant summer sunbeam.
despite this, sometimes he feels like he's drifting somewhere far away from you. a receeding ocean tide, sea foam dissolving from your fingertips as you dip your hands in the waves. he's somewhere you don't understand, when he looks into your eyes and searches for an iteration of you in the reflected image of his own eyes—perhaps he is 800 years away, a lifetime and more. and yet, when you gingerly cup his face in your palms, feel him lean into your touch, you know he returns to you.
— RAFAYEL'S art studio is admittedly, a mess. there are days where you'll enter that room spotless and leave with splatters of some new shade of red and his beloved blues all over your clothes and skin. some days, this happens purely on accident—a trip right into a canvas here, a palm pressed onto wet paint there—and on others, rafayel seems to delight in using you as a canvas.
— when RAFAYEL kisses you (in that gentle fashion, where he cups your cheek like if he doesn't you'll slip like seafoam from his hold), those soft lips of his taste of cherries and grapes and strawberries. and perhaps that best encapsulates what loving rafayel is like, this sweetest red, red, red: the way his cheeks and ears flush when you press a kiss to his cheek; the colour of his eyes when the morning's rose-gold sunlight hits the pink in them just right; the bleeding, beating heart he offers to your awaiting hands. eventually, he pulls away to let the both of you breathe, and when he presses his forehead against yours, glances at you with that charming smile of his, you're enveloped in warm crimson all over again.
"there." rafayel smiles, leans back to admire the flamulla he'd painted on your cheek and the pout that graces your lips. "a cute flamulla for the cutie that keeps distracting me."
"you weren't even painting anything when i came in!" you scoff, dabbing the paintbrush he'd given you into the paint upon the palette. while he painted moon jellies, flamulla, and blowfish on your skin, you'd busied yourself with painting seashells on his. some of the clamshells are too close together, the venus combs look a little too spiky, and some conches don't look quite right. when he looks like he's about to chuckle at the sight of them, you poke him with the other end of your brush; "hmph. you're just a meanie."
"how rude!" he feigns, hand to his heart. "this is how you treat me for making you look like one of my most precious paintings?"
— you notice, eventually, that RAFAYEL always gifts you red jewelry (if not pearls, of course). the little treasures glint in the sunlight; rings with a ruby or red spinel centerpiece, a necklace with a red coral pendant, fire opal earrings... they're beautiful and never gaudy, as to be expected from a man with an eye for aesthetics, but it still perplexes you.
you ask him why, while he helps you put on his most recently gifted necklace as you two get ready to attend his aunt's opera show. your painter answers with a thoughtful hum, deft fingers clasping the necklace for you: "red disappears the fastest in the deep sea, so i never got to see it much." rafayel presses a kiss to your cheek, then, before settling his chin on the crook of your neck. "what better way to appreciate a colour i missed out on for so long than seeing it on you, darling?"
— RAFAYEL'S smug and haughty countenance seems to crumble at the mere press of your lips against his skin, little pecks gracing each beauty mark. the first kiss is placed on his cheek, a little ways away from his eye, his head cradled in your palms; you feel how he heats up beneath your touch, a light blush dusting across his cheeks and a bright vermillion burning at the tips of his ears. the second is placed on his chest, your lips and gentle, roaming hands sparking the rapid thrumming of his heart.
— RAFAYEL sees you in everything. in the morning sunlight that filters into his kitchen, in the cherry blossoms that land on his hair, in the sea breeze that rushes past him as he walks along the shore. the mundane of daily life has become filled with so many traces of you that he cannot see them as anything other than beautiful. there's a piece of you in every one of his paintings now, a streak of your favourite colour intertwined with his reds and blues. he made the pigment himself, of course, extracted the colours he needed from your favourite things.
THE LOVERS ; Rafayel (20XX) ; Oil on canvas
This painting consists of only two colours, and depicts the view of a simple shoreline, with waves lapping at the shore. Although simple in essence, the two paints were handmade (as is the norm for pieces by Rafayel) with pigments extracted from materials that represented himself and his beloved. Upon closer inspection, one may notice the difference in brushstrokes between colours—where they start to blend, so do the strokes, perhaps one hand guiding the other. As per the words of the painter himself, this artwork is meant to represent a "marriage and a transfiguration; the way two souls are forever intertwined and changed by love."
a/n : pretty privilege is real because rafayel acts a lot like marius but i like him infinitely more than i do lu jinghe 😭👍 my love/obsession for this pretty little fish has made me rise from the grave of uni work and writer's block... please fill his tag i need to satisfy this itch in my brain that he gives me <\3 might write some more for him + him as abysswalker <3 (p.s. that final hc is perhaps the cutest thing i thought to do)

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

You have every right to be petty and not do what you don't want to do.
But I do think its a bit of a shame, and the reason why a lot of people ask. You have such a good take on Rose specifically and I think people, including myself would have wanted to see how your Rose would react to the return of Spinel and how you specifically would handle that plot.
I know that's why people ask, and I appreciate that people really love the story enough to want to see it continue, and include their favorite character.
Unfortunately, a part of that conflicts with my own personal interests, and I need to hold my ground on that. Just because I'm 'well suited' to write something doesn't necessarily mean I HAVE to. (I'm not saying that's what your ask is about, but certain people certainly hold this view.)
Really, I'm not wholly against doing something like a short comic if my heart is in it after the end of the series. BUT. At the moment, I simply don't want to, which is why I only ever say "I'll go to the CYM plotline and no further." I don't want to give any false promises.

Thinking about how the Explorers contrast the Rising Volt Tacklers in several ways. Namely, they are both groups with one the protagonists and the other the antagonists, but the Rising Volt Tacklers are a group of friends who have known each other for years (at least the adults are veterans) and are all good at a particular task. They have no insecurities or desire to be more than what they are, know who they are and what they're good at, and trust each other and their skills. Their talents and skills complement each other well to the point where they work together, trust each other, and the teamwork between them is so good that they make a very effective unit. This supportiveness extends to their care for Liko, Roy, and Dot, who they treat as their children and give them a loving and nurturing environment to allow them to grow into the people they're supposed to become. Meanwhile the Explorers are a more dysfunctional group where they're all only really together on a professional level, and the admins all have some clear desire to be recognized and validated for their talents but see each other as threats and don't have an environment where anyone truly supports or cares about each other, and they're all more focused on trying to one up each other rather than work together. They don't have a good environment to help them either, as Hamber and Gibeon are both very detached from everyone on an emotional level, Hamber clearly picks favorites with Amethio being his "favorite", and Gibeon outright states the group all exist purely to serve him.
And then you have certain admins having close relationships with certain characters on the RVT. Coral and Sidian are developing a close rivalry with Liko and Roy specifically, with Coral and Liko in particular having a relationship slowly becoming more personal between them. Spinel and Dot have an indirect relationship of animosity between them as Spinel has repeatedly gotten in Dot's way when it comes to technology and info gathering. Amethio and Friede also have a long standing direct rivalry between them. Chalce is an enigma since she's done the least so far and has no direct relationship with anyone on the Rising Volt Tacklers so far, though as time goes on we may see that with someone, though I'm not sure who yet: notably she's strongly implied to be an intellectual and a researcher.
Within those relationships, each Explorers admin really comes off as a foil and contrast to the character on the Rising Volt Tacklers who they are setting up to have the closest relationship with.
Liko and Coral contrast each other because Liko is very kind and selfless to an extreme, always prioritizing other peoples' feelings over her own and caring more about other peoples' happiness, while Coral is very selfish and prioritizes what she wants over all else, even disobeying orders from Hamber in order to do whatever she pleases and gets very angry when things don't go her way. They've started interacting one on one more often and Liko tries to console her and try to make things better for her, and Coral tends to lose it anyway, but because of this contrast there's definitely a one-of-a-kind relationship between them forming.
Roy and Sidian don't really have that much of a contrast between each other beyond their personalities, which is a basic contrast since Roy is very energetic and upbeat while Sidian is more stoic and serious. But it does also contrast their duo relationships with Liko and Coral. Especially since as duos their relationships are evidently close but different. Liko and Roy are often on the same wavelength and get along extremely well while Coral and Sidian clearly do care about each other but butt heads a lot and outwardly can't stand each other. Liko and Roy show their friendship and mutual care for each other in a very healthy way, they acknowledge they care about each other and appreciate each other. Meanwhile Coral and Sidian likely do value each other deep down but seem to be unable to show it in a positive and constructive way, on both sides since Sidian is somewhat overprotective of Coral in an overbearing way that she finds annoying.
Then you have Dot and Spinel who are both relatively reclusive and stay in a closed-up space by themselves most of the time and are very tech-savvy and web-savvy and use that to their advantage. Both are very good at gathering intel and info about things but while Dot very liberally shares the information she gathers to the rest of her teammates, to their benefit, Spinel keeps himself privy to information he considers valuable without sharing it to his fellow Explorers, keeping it solely for himself, which is evidently going to be to their detriment long term. Spinel so far has been rather dirty playing and refuses to show his face or get involved in the action himself, letting others do the work for him, while Dot has been trying to get out of her shell and put herself out there. So far their similarities have led them to butt heads in a way where they've never met face to face, but Spinel has used his skills to interfere with Dot's work and get in her way through interference and misdirection, and Dot has some personal hostility towards him as a result.
And the longest standing dichotomy and relationship so far is between Friede and Amethio, who are active rivals. The dichotomy is that Friede is a very strong Trainer, a natural leader, and wise Professor, and he's good at what he does. He doesn't demand respect from anyone, but naturally commands it by his presence and skill and is revered by his peers, including the three kids who look up to him and respect him. Meanwhile, Amethio struggles with self-esteem and a desire for respect. He clearly wants respect from others for his strength: that seems to be the one thing he really wants, to be valued and recognized as a strong Trainer. Yet he struggles to get that from his peers, as his fellow admins don't like him or want to work with him and have absolutely no respect for him. It's implied they do recognize his strength as a Trainer but are jealous of him and feel threatened by his presence in the group. All he has is his two grunt subordinates Zirc and Onia who are devoted to him, but that doesn't seem to be enough to relieve him of his own insecurity over the lack of respect he gets from the rest of his peers. It especially comes to a head when Friede actively toys with him and eventually, Amethio learns Friede could've effortlessly beaten him from the start but chose to play around and never took him seriously.
The only one who is currently an enigma so far is Chalce, aka Agate. She's the biggest enigma of the group so far since she's had so little screen time and has done very little in the midst of action, and she has had no personal interactions with anyone on the Rising Volt Tacklers so far. From what little we can piece together; she seems to be the intellectual of the organization and a scientist or researcher, since she was in a lab with Spinel who the latter disclosed some information to, and she disguises herself as a teacher at Naranja Academy right now. So far Chalce hasn't really had a personal relationship with anyone on the Rising Volt Tacklers, but I do think at some point as we see more of her she will. It will be interesting who she becomes ironically close with among the RVT and how she will contrast them, given how little we've seen of her character so far.
Anyway my long neurodivergent ramble aside, just some thoughts on the interesting foils the two groups share, especially now that we've seen more of the Explorers' admins and more of their characters, and how they foil certain other characters who they're starting to become oddly close with.

Speaking of Steven Universe, what do you think of Spinel?
I loved her character and story, but really didn't like the conclusion of Steven just leaving her with the diamonds because they reminded her of Pink, and never really got how at no point did Blue Diamond think to check on Pink's guardian in 6 thousand years.
I love Spinel! Her songs are all bangers, I adore her bouncy old 1920s toon theme, and her story's heartbreaking. She probably did deserve better than the Diamonds, but I'll admit I enjoyed that part, and appreciated the follow up that shows they're all thriving together.

H J & L for a Spinel, romantic as well please
Yep!
Character- Spinel
Letters- H, J, L
H-Hugging
-Prepared to be strangled…
-Just kidding! She’s very sweet with her hugs! She knows how tight she’s allowed to hold you when she stretches her arms to wrap around you
-She likes doing that the most, clinging onto you and wrapping her arms all the way around you, it’s very comforting for both you and her.
-she also love sit when you hug her, it doesn’t matter how small or big the hug is, she appreciates the affection all the same
J-Joking around
-She was made for someone’s entertainment, she’s definitely made for joking around.
-she has the best jokes, though she likes to tell dad jokes to make you annoyed just for the heck of it!
-She loves it when you play around with her. If your not that good at telling jokes she’ll pretend like she found it funny and slowly help you get better at your jokes without you even knowing
L- Lounging together on a lazy day
-This girl needs a break so she better get lazy days with you a lot.
-She loves lazy days since she gets to spend time with you and doesn’t have to worry about anything.
-but let’s be honest here, you two can be stupid together sometimes. Like daring each other to do the worst possible things. She’ll forget that humans(if you are one in this case) are much more fragile than gems and tell you a dangerous dare, and he’ll you’ll go along with it!
-but when your not doing things that will kill yourselves it’s sweet. You two like to cuddle together and spend as much time together as you can

“WE ARE M・T・T・B” - Chapter 9
📍 HAMA House - Living Room
Kaede: Good work yesterday, everyone!
Toi: It was super lovely~! Did you come see us at the tournament, chief?
Kaede: Yeah, I secretly went to cheer you guys on. Ryui came along as well.
Toi: My Dear Brother!? But I told him he didn’t have to come since he looked so busy with work...!
Kaede: I was so moved by the last cat pose at the end… Just remembering it brings a tear to my eye…
Muneuji: Thank you, Chief. We also had a wonderful experience.
Kaede: I see…, that’s wonderful. *Sniffle*… I need a tissue…
Kiroku: Chief…you r-really…cry e-easily…
Kaede: S-sorry guys, I got caught up in the moment…*Sniffle*. So I was thinking, since you guys came home so late last night and were probably exhausted, we didn’t have a chance to eat together so―
Kaede: How about we go out for a celebration dinner right now? I want to show everyone my appreciation.
Kaede: And of course, it’ll be my treat.
Ten: Oh sweet. I’m down if you’re paying~
Muneuji: Thank you for your consideration. Of course, we’ll all partake.
Toi: Yep!
Kiroku: Ye…Yeah…
Kaede: Then it’s settled! Let me just send Chihiro the details―
Chihiro: OMG, you guys! dazzle and Spinel are, like, totally blowing up right now!
Kaede: What’s wrong Chihiro? Is something up?
Chihiro: Look at this!
Kiroku: A video…from yesterday’s…compe…tition…?
Muneuji: Is this a clip of our dance?
Chihiro: Yeah, for real! Check out these views!
Ten: Would you look at that…it’s really doing numbers, huh~ Crazy…the views are still shooting up as we speak too.
Kaede: Wow, the trending topics on SNS are all about your team, the dance, and your masks too…!
Toi: Look, Kiro-chan! There’s a bunch of pictures of people trying to make their own cat masks!
Kiroku: T-they all…look…r-really…nice.
Chihiro: I know, right!? And guess what, the vids of our dance in the competition are poppin’ up everywhere too. …..Even the celebes are gettin’ in on it….!
Kaede: This…This might become a social phenomenon…!
Chihiro: Ehehe, hearin’ that from Chiefy makes Chii real happy!
Chihiro: We might not have won top place, but it looks like we’re about to become the top trendy squad! With this fame, nailing that promise to Prez will be a piece of cake! Killin’ two birds with one stone~!
Kaede: (Now that you mention it, I do remember him saying something like that on stream…)
Chihiro: We’ve had our ups and downs, but dancing with this squad was like, the most fun ever!
Chihiro: Chii’s picks were spot on! We definitely have to dance together again~!
Muneuji: Of course, I’d love to if the opportunity arises.
Toi: Let’s have fun next time too! Right, Kiro-chan? ♪
Kiroku: Y-yeah…
Chihiro: Ten-cham, you too, right!?
Ten: Well, if I feel like it I guess.
Chihiro: Yippee! Hey Chiefy, you wanna join us too?
Kaede: Nono, I’ll pass… I’m just an average guy.
Chihiro: Oh c’mon, don’t be shy~♪ We gotta do it someday!
Chihiro: Ahaha! Anyway, Chii’s stomach is grumbling and growling right now. How ‘bout we hit up some BBQ?
4 people: Agreed!
Chihiro: Woohoo! ‘Kaykay, let’s go-go-go, everyone!

Hey Dimonds, now that you are not making a second chance SU AU.
Does Spinel “pull a Bismuth”, because she’s afraid to Steven might “Abandon” her for Connie in the future.
Also because also the fact that it’s after pearl told everyone that Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond, (Spinel’s best friend who left her for 625 years). Causing Spinel to question her and Rose’s/Pink’s time together as “Friends”.
YOU. YOU GET IT.
So it's been years, but if I remember correctly, what I meant by "pull a Bismuth" was that Spinel attacked Steven for a VERY similar reason Bismuth did. It's less that she believed that Steven was Pink Diamond, and more that the gemstone won't ever change. Iirc.
She poofed from heartbreak when she discovered that Rose and Pink were the same person.
See, part of her history is that Pink Diamond got her from the garden and brought her to Earth, which Spins was excited about. Rose realized that just convincing Spinel to join the Crystal Gems wasn't going to work, because she was literally MADE to be Pink's friend and would stick by her no matter what, so they devised a plan; Pink Diamond would become just as horrible and nasty as the CG propaganda made her out to be, while Rose Quartz then swoops in to save Spins.
This culminates in a meeting. Pink spends years ignoring Spinel no matter what, and eventually just banishes the gem from her court in front of everyone. Spinel runs into the trees, heartbroken, and poofs. Pearl finds her gem and brings her back to the Crystal Gems, where she decides to join them. Rose shows her unending kindness and support (though she was still kinda uncomfortable around the gem, now Spinel had WAY more friends, and so that made her easier to tolerate to Rose), and Spinel found a home there.
...So when she discovered that they were the same person, she had a crisis. Anger, rage, jealousy, betrayal, hurt, ALL of it built upon itself until she once again poofed from heartbreak. And when Steven and Pearl came back with Sapphire, she'd reformed into an appearance similar to canon Spinel's movie form.
She attacks Steven because she has it in her head that Steven isn't who he says he is, either. Maybe he's not Pink, but also maybe he is! Who knows! Since she's so good at PRETENDING anyway!
It takes Pearl explaining that Rose just wanted to help her, despite not really wanting to be her friend anymore, that pulls Spinel back down. She was still lied to, and she is allowed to be angry about that, but Rose didn't do it just to fuck with Spins' head or anything. Rose genuinely wanted Spinel to be in the Crystal Gems, and once she was, she found a good home. That's all Rose wanted.
In Future, Spinel still has a LOT of mixed feelings about her. She's come to realize she can still appreciate the good memories, but those bad memories are valid as well, and it's a good thing they aren't friends anymore, no matter the method. Their personalities didn't mix well, and that's okay. At least they were kind to each other. Spinel can appreciate that, even if she wished Rose would have just talked to her instead. But hey, that's just who Rose was. She kept secrets.
Part of my goal with ASC was to keep in line with Pink/Rose doing things she felt was right, but was just the wrong way to go about it. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. Sorta. She's a complex character, and I wanted to try and express that further in ASC. She realized she shouldn't have left Spinel in the garden and gets her, which is good! But then she lied to her several times, which was bad! It was "for her own good," sure, but who decides that? (quote, Miles Morales.)
I hope I did both Rose and Spinel justice in my portrayal of them. That was always a point of anxiety for me, especially people were SO quick to villainize Rose no matter what she did. She wasn't a villain, but she wasn't a perfect saint, either. She was, well. Human. Ironically enough.
OH OH BEFORE I FORGET. YES. Spinel acted that way towards Connie because she was afraid of Connie taking Steven from her, just like Greg took away Rose and the Diamonds took away the Crystal Gems. She's tired of loosing friends, and Rose's passing caused her to WAY overcorrect and hold them WAY too close. This is why, despite having rocky relationships with the other CGs in Season 1, she still clings to them. There's good memories. She cannot let them go.
I hope this makes sense lol

Onyx with a dense professor reader
request
another onyx, gotta love that man. i loved the fact that this req mentioned pokespe ahh. the reader really be twinning with professor sycamore bro. 🤗
— NOTE : LOWERCASE INTENDED
onyx would try his best to hide his identity, super low-key. he wanted to make sure you wouldn't get involved in their shenanigans. other than you helping their research, you were never explicitly apart of them.
they may have tried to let you join your side several times, but your density is probably enough to sink the brave asagi. they try to make it subtle though, but it doesn't matter cause you don't get t.
he was first curious about your occupation, trying to learn more about how professors do all their fancy things.
he compared you to friede, unlike friede you unknowingly help people when they were i need. that was something that peeked his interest, how could someone be so kind to people that could take it for granted?
he learned to appreciate your kindness, even if he can't get your reasoning. he should be great full you were dense enough to help them.
when they were looking for the shiny rayquaza, you immediately came to his mind (aye) he felt guilty using you, but he's evil. villains do whatever they can.
like spinel, he puts on this nice facade so that you won't see him as a threat and continue your research. they really can't blame you, when the person they say is apart of an evil organization is someone who's very kind to you.
maybe you believe them, maybe you dont. it is quite likely that the rvt will look for you too considering your knowledge about this rayquaza.
liko is a nice and sweet girl, but why would you believe her over the person you're more close with? that was your mindset, so whenever she told you about this "evil organization" you'd deny onyx ever being part.
you made so many excuses, "what onyx would never do that!", "onyx is a close friend of mine, he wouldn't do such horrible things."
you might confront him someday about it, but hey the shiny rayquaza is cool! and he looks even cooler. don't believe someone who doesn't even know that person very well...right?
