I got into Steven Universe here recently. I know I’ve been gone for a long time.

Life Cycle of a Peridot

Hi, so there's my Tiny Gems AU again. I love these little guys so much. Think of them as a mix between plant and insect (inspired by ants and leaf sheep. If you don't know what a Leaf Sheep is I implore you to search it now! :D)

This is kind of a gemling Au but not really since gems still emerge from walls and the diamond are the only ones with essence to make them (like queen bees) Young Gems need to eat materials that have minerals related to their gem, but after that they only need sunlight to live. Gems are still immortal but commonly fall prey to falling boulders and large organics. They just get gobbled up. (Our Peridot is spoiled though, don't worry about her.)

😅

her hairs so big because it's full of secrets

I had a dream that I had a sister and we were in undertale, and Frisk came and offered my sister ultimate power so that we could compete in an epic monster race. She took it and she became an intangible reality warping entity and it was low-key a body horror dream. And I got so mad that she cheated in the race that I woke up. I don't have a sister and never have played Undertale so idk if that's lore accurate 😭

ECONOMIC BLACKOUT ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025

TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS

If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business, and use cash if possible. Don’t buy gas, fast food, groceries, etc. While you’re at it boycott Amazon (cancel that membership), Tesla, Walmart, Meta & X, Ford, HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Marshalls Néstle, Toyota, Chevron, Boeing (check airlines), JPMorgan Chase, AT&T, Hershey, Sam's Club, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Applebee’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-A, tampax, old spice, Bacardi Liquor, Tito’s Liquor, General Mills (Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Cheerios/Lucky Charms/Cocoa Puffs, Chex Mix, Pillsbury, Bisquick, Yoplait, Hamburger Helper, Annie’s Homegrown, Betty Crocker, etc), Urban Outfitters, Free People, Home Depot, McDonald’s (all lobbyists and/or donated to Trumps campaign).

These lobbyist corrupt corporations & companies only care about money, that’s why it’s so easy for them to screw over the working class with less worker protections, cutting important programs, denying healthcare, etc. So if that’s the case, the most impactful movement is to hurt their pockets. Power in numbers.

Economic boycotts and blackouts, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and international sanctions against apartheid South Africa, have proven effective in enacting political change by applying sustained economic pressure that directly impacts the target’s financial stability. When supported by widespread participation and media attention, these actions can lead to significant policy shifts, as seen with the end of apartheid and changes in corporate practices influenced by public boycott movements. If 1 in 4 Americans stopped buying from brands like Amazon, Walmart, or Nestlé, or saved money altogether by adopting a “we have or can make this at home” mindset, it could compel organizations and governments to reconsider where and how they allocate resources and contribute to policies, driven by the need to avoid reputational and financial losses. This collective action could disrupt corporate influence on politics, pushing for more ethical and socially responsible practices.

Please spread the word! Thank you!

Corrupted Peridot

I capitalized off the idea that the gems are kinda of like computers. The design is mainly based on drakes (the reptile) and snakes. Also the fact that most peridots have dark spots, they’re just hard to see.

Sonic 3 made me cry wtf
