#there was a pearl that mentioned it

[shkika]

so how does sliver and moon's first interactions go? is it during moon's early days, during pebbles' construction? or after pebbles?

Oh this is such a fun ask actually.

Hardcore brainstorming and headcanons on Moonie and Sliver’s interactions below!

Firstly my Sliver disappears shortly after NSH and Wind are built (those two are finished at an unusually similar time). She never gets to meet Pebbles or Innocence.

Secondly she meets Moon waay before the local group is a thing. Way before local groups as a concept were even a thing. In the beginning there were just too few iterators for that to happen.

Moon was one of the first. She is OLD. Moon is a senior supreme. Sliver comes perhaps one or two generations after her so the difference isn’t all that big there.

At the time, local groups weren’t a thing and different cities talked to each other and had to nudge their children to interact and be working partners (or even groups if there were enough participants for that). All in the hopes that the great problem would be solved faster.

This is kind of what happened to SOS and LTTM! Their colonies started talking and so those two were nudged to become working partners of sorts.

Moon at the time was a bit less willing on the whole group work shenanigans, because she felt fully capable of working on her own. But it is what her parents wanted so she went along with it.

Too bad Sliver saw that as an opportunity to make a friend and not a working partner. She didn’t care all that much about focusing her processes on anything more than getting to know Moon better. And when Moonie didn’t really open up to her proposals of friendship, she just started being annoying instead and poked her.

Thas was only their for first few interactions though. Maybe not the most pleasant at first, but Sliver would soon gain a lot of respect for Moon’s determination and perfectionism. That is a person who always tries very hard no matter what, something she never manages to do herself. And she, from being slightly jealous, starts really looking up to her for it.

Moon on the other hand starts finding Sliv more and more genuinely entertaining and fun to be around. From being stuck in her own thinking box and fulfilling a certain purpouse, Sliver teaches her there is a lot more fun and wonder to be had in the world. Purpoused organism this purpoused organism that, Moon is her own person with her own autonomy. Life isn’t what others want from you. She really opened another way of thinking for Moon which that early in the timeline was something she’s never even considered properly.

Both get to learn a lot from each other and form a relationship out of mutual respect and care. Augh they are just so wonderful.

Orufrey Week Day 2: Song 💛

Lemon Glow is an Orufrey song you guys gotta trust me on this

[winonaparadise]

im settling the debate. st even universe was a net positive because one time i cospalyed pearl and a woman called out "PEARL GOT AN ASSSSS THO" at me and it has buoyed me above the constantly rising waters of "killyourselfkillyourselfkillyourself" more consistently than anything else i've ever experienced

[cosmicwhoreo]

So, I drew the other Gem Mermaids as Guppies and a basic gist of their time with Grand Reef Below the cut...

Thank God splatoon 3 didn't end up introducing a playable cuttlefish dlc like I feared last year (I honestly don't think we need more new playable species, would've been too sudden, my expectations were on the floor after rotm) but the cuttlefish visuals are still so suspicious to me. This hat has to be on purpose. That's absolutely not a fucking squid or octopus

And this is undeniably a cuttlefish (and the double fin shape resembles the hat)

Like how the lack of mammals in the splatoon world and ark Polaris was something suspicious in the previous games, and characters like marigold and Glen fiddler and lil judd are suspicious now.... It's way more subtle but I think this could be the splatoon team planting some seeds in case they decide to introduce cuttlefish as a separate species in the splatoon world. ill be keeping it in the back of my mind

(Tents fingers) So I've had a very indulgent Lethal Company OC concept on the mind for a while, and now that I've drawn it, of course it's spiraled into a 80+ panel comic HILJKFD

Employee names are tentative right now, but they go by Cap'n, Kid (shortie, actual name is Scoot), Skeets (tall one, short for Skeeter) and Mav (wide one, goes by that or Maverick). Genders are also tentative, but I'm warming up to the idea of them all being women with Kid being the only boy!

Value keys for the comic are under the cut, along with some story beats/thumbnails and the uncensored version of Cap'n's injuries from the attack! (It's sketchy, but it is drawn gore so be warned!)

I put this in discord but fuck it it's post worthy. I missed the month but AA charcaters and are they publicly out (like in terms of being legal celebrities, not with friends and family) and do they attend pride.

Phoenix: He is not out because he doesn't like talking about his personal life at fucking all. But if asked directly he's gonna admit to it. But he does definitely go to pride every year with Trucy and is the guy to give dad hugs to queer kids who's parents don't support them

Apollo: The press will wrestle his sexuality and being trans from his cold dead hands. He does go to pride but very specifically because he's trans, not because he's gay. Given his taste in men he does not think that's something to be proud of

Mia: 100% out publicly and does go to pride.

Athena: Not really famous enough for people to care but she's not hiding anything at all from the public. She goes to pride every year and loves it

Maya: Out publicly as a deliberate stance around the complicated gender politics of Kurain. Loves pride and brings pearl along who loves the rainbows but will stare homophobically at any gay person she sees.

Ema: not famous enough for anyone to care but she will absolutely mention it if she ever is. She is going to pride and she is getting wasted and high and then having a questionable hookup

Miles: Literally started this train of thought. He is not out publicly. He would find the very concept of revealing his sexuality publicly demeaning and invasive. He doesn't like pride for introvert reasons, he only ever goes as a chaperone for Kay and Seb.

Franziska: Very very out. But she is not going to pride unless she's asked to do a speech because she is a god damn workoholic. She only goes personally if Maya drags her along and then she does actually have a ton of fun.

Godot: I don't think he's even out to himself.

Klavier: He is very very out publicly but his fans still debate it. A lot of people think he's queerbaiting for his career despite all evidence to the contrary. He is at pride EVERY yeah and will go to as many parades as he can manage. Huge pride guy. He also probably performs there 99% of the time.

Simon: Robert Patterson levels of out. He is not here to represent anyone, he is here to baffle. He goes to pride mostly with Athena and refuses to wear any colours.

Gumshoe: Again not really famous enough for it to matter. But he fucking loves pride. He enjoys himself so much. Honestly even if you don't interpret him as queer I think he'd still go to pride as a loud as hell ally.

Australian Gem strikes again (clip taken from Pearl’s stream on 7/11/2023, around the 2:30:00 mark)

transcript below!

Pearl: —separate from my online content— ow, OW—! Okay! Ok ok ok, I get it, I get it, I get it!

Gem: ‘Ello!

Pearl: ‘Ello, mate, how’s it going?

Gem: G’day, mate!

Pearl: G’day, mate!

Gem: Was that a good Australian— I’m Australian now.

Pearl: Honestly, you did that pretty decently compared to a lot of other people.

Gem: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I try, I spend a lot of time with an Australian.

Pearl: Oh yeah, you do? You do? I don’t say “g’day” that much though.

Gem: No. Not at all. Very disappointing, actually. My Australian friend doesn’t even say the Australian catchphrase.

Pearl: It’s stereotypical! You’re only gonna get that if you’re like, countryside bogan.

Gem: *sighs*

Pearl: That’s like the redneck of America.

Pearl: I might say “crikey” every now and again— Again, that’s very rare.

Gem: If you said “crikey”, that would make my day!

Pearl: I’ve said it before, just out of the blue, it’s definitely— It’s a rare thing.

Gem: Yeah, it makes me very happy.

Pearl, muffled: Crikey, mate.

Gem: Ah, I love Australians.

Pearl: Oh, I’m feeling so flattered right now…

“Martyn doesn’t hold on to past alliances unless it’s Ren” Is a take I see relatively often and everytime I’m just baffled at how wrong it is

Is Ren the main one he holds on to? Yes, of course, but he’s not the only one. Early Double Life he hangs around with Jimmy for a bit and they make aha jokes, he allies with Scott and Cleo in Limited Life after the soulmate/ally thing, he teams up with Jimmy again in Secret Life and once both his allies died when he came to the warden fight he asked Cleo what happened first, showing he still holds onto them and trusts her.
