hi! if youve stumbled on this blog, you probably found it through trails from my old fandom days on here. most likely, steven universe, and homestuck is a possibility too. before this url, i was to ‘thegayfuchsia,’ which after deactivating, i also reserved the url for archiving purposes.

i was the author of “Shattered Reflections,” one of the most popular lapidot fanfictions on archiveofourown during the height of the steven universe fandom, around 2015? the shell of that work has been on ao3 all these years but i took the contents down because i was embarrassed, though ive had a backup copy saved on google drive that ive been more than happy to share.

however, someone recently reported that work and it is at risk of being deleted. i have reinstated the contents of the fic but i screenshotted all the comments and stats just in case i lose it :’)

anyway, im probably talking out into the void but if you happen to stumble across this post, and you recognize the username or the title of this fanfic, just know that my intent to reach you has been recognized. i hope youre all well!

17 orrrr 20? both if you want aaaaaaa for lapidot

Are you kidding, I’m trash. Of course I want.

17:  Thingsyou said that I wish you hadn’t. 

“Hey, Peridot? Have you seen Lapis?” She looks away from her work—a new set of enhancers—and rolls her eyes. She notices his discomfort and relaxes. It had been happening for a while now; Lapis would fly off somewhere and Steven would try to follow, and then worry after realising the fact that he could not, in fact, fly (Though the kid kept discovering so many abilities in such a short amount of time that it wouldn’t surprise her if he did find a way to take off after her.)

“She left a few minutes ago.”

“Aw, again? What happened?” She shrugs and reasumes her work. The new design was requested. These stars seemed to be some sort of brand or motif that kept the team unified, and now that she had supposedly joined them, there was no escaping it. Not to mention it was either that, or no enhancers at all—Steven was fond of how she looked without them, but she refused to go around unarmed. 

Silence engulfs them, and she feels the youngest member of team shift around anxiously. He paces around the living room, holding his chin with his hand, until a metaphorical “lightbulb” appears above his head. 

“Hey, I have an idea! Why don’t you look for her? You can fly too!” Stars practically shine in his eyes as he looks at the technician expectantly, and suddenly the word ‘no’ is not registered in her vocabulary. She groans, but essentially resigns and reattaches her work in progress. The enhancers were’t advanced enough yet, but she would get there, even if she had to survey the entirety that was Earth for technology capable of handling the interface.

“Fine. But don’t tell the gems I left you alone.” He smiles, but doesn’t make any sign of understanding whatever Peridot had just said, too excited on seeing his “beach buddy” again.

She makes her way outside and immediately covers her eyes with her fingers—the visor did much to proctect her gem, but very little to shield her eyes. She looks around, hoping to get a glipse of Lapis’ joy ride, or any hint that would lead her to the water gem, but she finds nothing but the waves gently touching the shore. 

She’s about to go back inside when she spots an unusual shadown casted on the beach farther away, and she turns to the hill overcasting Beach City.

She groans and begins making her way uphill by foot—she had not worked on her propeller adaptation.

“What are you doing here?” Is what she’s greeted with when she reaches the top. Peridot huffs, crossing her arms.

“Steven asked me to look for you. He’s worried.”

“Tell him I’m fine.” Lapis doesn’t face her when she speaks. She simply stares out at the ocean, wings spread out, ready to fly off again, but feet firmly planted on the ground. Somehow it sounds like a perfect metaphor for the blue gem.

But as menacing and graceful as Lapis Lazuli looked, Peridot got progressively more irritated. 

“Look, I don’t know what your deal is, but I’m getting tired of having to drag you down every time you fly off to do your thing.”

“Then why bother going after me?”

She thinks for a moment, and almost replies with honesty, but her pride gets he best of her.

“Because Steven cares about you.” 

“And you don’t?” Lapis turns briefly, an icy glare piercing Peridot almost completely, before turning back to the ocean.

“What I think doesn’t matter, Lazuli—” 

“Of course it doesn’t. You can’t even think for yourself. You’re practically a machine.” Every word drips with poison. Poison from those jelly-like marine creatures that stings and leaves marks behind. Any other day Peridot would be unfazed, but for some reason, having the gem that was practically an object for most of her existance saying that to her feels like being stabbed with one of Pearl’s spears. 

“Lazuli, I know you’re—”

“You don’t know anything. You’re a new gem. You have no idea what it felt like to be trapped in that forsaken mirror, or at the bottom of the Earth’s ocean, Peridot. And you expect me to just act like it didn’t happen?! For the sake of your comfort?!” She’s facing her this time, fists clenched, wings strangely sharp, and Peridot tries her best to swallow her imminent fear.

“It’s not for my sake, it’s for Steven’s—!”

“Just leave me alone.”

And she does. 

She doesn’t dare confronting Steven, so she strides along the coast, wondering if she should feel hurt or offended. For some reason she’s more hurt by her words, even though she was somewhat used to Lapis’ outburst—they became regular occurrings since she unfused with Jasper. 

She begins to question herself; was she really a Homeworld toy after all? No sense of self, self-thought, emotion, was there anything there? If she wasn’t supposed to feel anything, then why was she so damn angry?

She doesn’t notice the explosion caused by her projectile. She looks down at her hand, wondering when she had pulled it out in the first place, but simply stares at the smoke coming out of the vent, mind lost somewhere else.

“…I’m sorry.” She whispers to nobody in particular.

“Me too.” She feels a hand on her shoulder, but doesn’t look up. A mutual agreement was met. 

“Let’s go back, Steven is probably worried out of his mind by now.”

And for once she swallows any snarky remark she could possibly come up with, and ignores the hand wrapping around her fingers.

ur peridot cosplay is goals. teach me ur ways.

dajfhajsg thank you ;; Tundra actually made 90% of the cosplay so all thanks goes to them!idk how to explain the cosplay that good and people have asked me to explain it multiple times, so I’m trying my best here to explain some of the things:

• legs and arms are made of eva foam that is coated with stretch vinyl (AND A BUTTLOAD OF STRONG GLUE. Tundra doesn’t recommend this method with these kind of round, cylinder shapes.) The seams on the arms and legs are also hidden with the vinyl and the tip of the shoe is a separate part that’s attached to my sneakers.• the fingers are made of a some kind of plastic pipe (that was originally a fucking halloween walking stick) and they are painted with acrylic paint mixed with glue to make the paint stronger (so it won’t crack or rub off)• the wig is built on a piece of eva foam and it’s heavily inspired by gekroent’s Peridot wig tutorial. Here’s the old tutorial and here’s the new one.• pants and shirt were bought from a normal clothing store and then dyed with dark green dylon fabric dye• the black part on the clothes is actually just a simple black body shaper bought from a store and it works like a dream!• the collar is made from a thinner foam which was then coated with normal, stretchy fabric (that is usually used in normal t-shirts and tops)• gem is made of fimo clay and painted to make it look shiny• the visor is some kind of transparent plastic that I happened to find from some old packages I had bought• body paint is water-based grimas (the color code is 406)also remember that without Tundra there wouldn’t be this cosplay! ;^;
