OH OH for Gemini AU what’s the boys’ relationship with Big Mama’s staff? New employees who have just gotten into the gig and met the boss’s kids and old employees who have been there for years? Do they get along with any of them? Some? None? I just think it’s neat because there are so many people who work for Big Mama, and in the show we don’t see too many details about her staff

Also what do the twins think of the audience? I think you’ve mentioned their idea of being famous and getting attention before but I would love to hear more of your thoughts about their relationship with the Nexus audience :)

Oh what a fun question. A lot of the older/senior employees have known the twins since they were little hold at least SOME degree of affection for them. They maybe be horrendous brats, but they're still sweet kids overall, and it's hard not to get at least a little attached. Even if they are frequently exasperated with them...

There were certainly staff members who knew Leo and Donnie since they were young and took protest with how they were treated and/or their Battle Nexus careers. It was always difficult for Leo and Donnie when beloved staff members, (particularly tutors or nannies) would suddenly 'quit' without warning.

Newer staff members typically haven't had a chance to build a bond with the Twins the way more senior staff members have, but they also didn't have to live through Leo and Donnie's early childhoods, where they truly just ran wild through the hotel. Nowadays Leo and Donnie are overall cordial and respectful to staff, and try to make it a point to learn any full-timers names, especially if they brush shoulders with them regularly... but they can still be absolute nightmares when they wanna be.

Staff Members that they are particularly close with/fond of include the doorman Reynard, the sous-chef Annabelle, the housekeeper Maisie, their tutor Kassio, and their coach Tigerclaw.

The Gemini have a love-hate relationship with "The Audience." On one hand, the Audience is success. Cheering fans mean they did good. Eyes on them is the goal; they are celebrities, they are famous, and if they fill stadiums, then they are doing something right. They are giving Mama what she wants and that means life is gonna be good. They depend a lot on "The Audience" for their own sense of value. If there are no cheering fans, how can they know if they're doing a good job or not? On the other hand, the Audience is expectations. If they're in front of The Audience that means they have to be on. That means they can't fuck up. They have to be celebrities, they have to fill their 'role' and play the part that's been set for them and they cannot mess up or flub their lines. They know better. Being in front of The Audience means the pressure is on.

They want the Audience. They need the Audience. When they're not in front of The Audience, they miss it. But when they are, they're exhausted by it and they want out. It's an endless cycle.

If you asked them, they'd say something along the lines of "loving their fans" and "appreciating their support," or some other script that was fed to them a long time ago that they've long since perfected, and they'd probably think that they meant it.

OK SO

Disclaimer. Steven Universe AU lore. I’m just gonna lore drop about my boys and some basic infos. You gotta wait for the others if they even wanna post it.

DO NOT PRESSURE AND BOTHER THEM

With that out of the way, here’s a timeline

@dianagj-art @intotheelliwoods @less-depresso-more-espresso @tangledinink @bluesgras @teaableu @3lectricinsomnia

So basic info, instead of the Diamonds working together like in SU, here they’re divided into 4 clans/court

Diamond Authority:

Foot Clan —-Red Diamond, Oroku Saki, Lord

Big Mama —- Purple Diamond, Big Mama, Mother, Mama

Draxum —- Pink Diamond, Father, Boss, Commander

Hamatos —- Green Diamond, Splinter, Lou Jitsu (fake form ala rose quartz), Father

Gems call their diamonds Father/Mother or Commander

The timeline is divided into 3 (maybe 4 now) era: Before, During, and After the Gem War, the fourth one is after the invasion and homeworl shenanigans

Kinda s1 big bad is Draxum and s2 big bad is Big Mama

Gem War is when the Red Court (the Foot Clan) led by Oroku Saki attacked the Green Court (the Hamatos). Nearing the end of the War, Oroku Saki gets shattered on Earth. The other Diamonds, (Big Mama and Draxum) corruption beamed the Earth to get rid of the mess, and left Earth to rot. The War ended. The rest of the Foot Clan scattered, some staying in the Homeworld and integrated into the other courts and some snuck away to try and revive Saki. (Guess whats the Shredder gonna be). The Hamatos remnant are roaming the earth in their corrupted forms. Life continued on, Big Mama and Draxums influence grew and took over Hamato and Foot Clan territories

So Cerulean:

● Lee was created on the reef as part of Big Mama’s court. His batch came out really high quality. All of them are distributed to high ranking army commanders.

● Lee was given to a Demantoid Garnet Commander and joined the ship’s crew. There, he learnt about battle strategy and planning, how to distribute armies, how to expand the empire, how to fight and how to defend.

● The Demantoid Commander was shattered by someone Earth. Lee was devastated because said commander was kind enough to him, and even taught him a lot. He kept a few of the Commander’s shards

● Since some of their army still alive, Lee included, they’re all brought back to Homeworld. Most lower ranks were culled. While the higher ranking ones were repurposed.

● Lee was supposed to be shattered too, but he managed to curry favour with one of the higher rank gems (maybe Frida), that gives him a chance to prove himself to BM. He did manage to earn her curiosity.

● Lee became BM’s personal pearl, now basically doubling as her secretary and negotiator. Got preferential treatment most of the time.

Angelo:

● Angelo emerged early post war, perfect in cut and colour ala Jasper in SU.

● After oneion is dicovered as a spy and was rejuvenated by 1D, Angelo took over his spot as a commander while Oneion was bubbled and kept away somewhere.

● During his off time not out conquering planets for the glory of the empire, he frequents the Battle Nexus, now turned to a punishment zone instead of just an entertainment sport. Saying hi to the geminis while they enact their punishment to the traitors

● He also visits and hangs out with Father’s personal weapon maker, a hidden gem called Ronin and his bodyguard Red. Sometimes One even joins them

Getting sent to Earth (listen this lore is developed a few hours ago lmao)

2D was given a chance to redeem himself by Draxum, so he was sent to Earth to check on the remaining corrupted Hamato gems. Lee was sent along to monitor him as a gesture of friendship from Big Mama. 2D and Lee do not get along at all. Their ship malfunctioned (or did it?) and they crashlanded on Earth. After roaming around for a bit, bitching all the while, they were found by Oneion, who was sent to rescue them. Oneion took them to the Avocado Temple, where they met One, Poptart, and Sprout…. Who looked… familiar. Wait. This is Lee’s commander’s shatterer. Lee pulled his weapon out and swung. A fight broke out.

One day Ronin and the now halfway corrupted 1D stumbled into the temple. Ronin snuck out by ship from homeworld and 1D was playing around with a corrupted gem shard so he got infected, they met in the wilderness somewhere

Even if Lee hates Sprouts guts they gotta stay together cause there’s corrupted gems outside and Lee doesnt wanna get shattered. Days passed, and Lee noticed Oneion keeps sneaking out of camp when no one noticed. He followed him and saw that surprise, surprise, Oneion’s reporting to Draxum. There’s a gem in his ship that has a direct line to the Diamonds. The next day Lee asked what did Oneion report and Oneion have no idea what Lee is talking about. Turned out the gold rim around one and oneions gems have a nefarious purpose. Lee called BM from the gem line, and with Draxum there with her during a Diamond meeting, told them everything.

Running away Ronin, theres still some uncorrupted remnants of Hamatos, Oneions betrayal and Sprout shattering his commander, so boom Draxum decided to come to Earth himself

There’s still a ton of other lore for each characters like I said, 10 pages or more now, of combined lore lmao. I might draw the sprout confrontation and the diamond call later, who knows

Thanks for the asks ✨

LIGHTS OUT

Ever since Usagi's village was attacked by Shredder (aka Hamato Yoshi), he has been afraid of the dark. He takes vengeance for his village and family by hunting down and killing Hamato Yoshi. After this, Usagi is held prisoner by the Hamato Clan once they discover his involvement in Splinter's death. Leo continuously visits Usagi in his dark cell and uses psychological torture to make Usagi pay for what he did to Splinter

art by @3lectricinsomnia, @2aceofspades, @teaableu

[3lectricinsomnia]

Do you have any recent drawings of usagi or any exile art? 👀
