Would Love To See Covah With 1E Please!!!

Today's stupid question is, what happened to Tutu Pearl?

well my adhd said "hey here's another thing to focus on now. have fun."

the next "chapter" would have involved her being "babysat" by bismuth.

I’m quite happy with how this turned out. Just a quiet drawing to cool down for the night. 

Gwendolyn has a lot of pent up anger towards the deity who controls time. He worshiped Boss at one point in time. But, Boss had Gwendolyn do something..... Terrible. Something that did not need to happen for history to continue on the path it was headed. But Gwendolyn was assigned to it anyway. And around 4000 people died. Being forced to do that would make even the most loyal of men question their leader. 

But, he knows he can do nothing with this anger. The deity knows all Gwendolyn has and will do. The curse of working with someone who knows all of history that has and will happen. So, Gwendolyn rebels against his post. It’s the most he can do to show his dissatisfaction. 

I think it’s time I talk about Illendra.

I mention her a few times, talking about Covah and his story. But I’ve never talked about her.

Illedra, in case you can’t tell, is a member of the Arglwydd Amser race. She is one of many who protect time itself from anything that might deviate it from the path that fate demands it go. She is forever loyal to her creator, the god of time itself “Boss”. And will do anything Boss says. Like most Arglwydd Amsers. 

At least, she was 100% loyal before Boss called her for a new mission one day. And assigned her the tremendous task….. of dying. Boss told her that she was fated to go and be with the wielder of a cursed sword, and eventually perish under his blade. But, in doing so, she would cause the wielder to question killing and eventually end the spirit inhabiting the blade- thus keeping others from the grasp of this deadly curse. And Boss from having to weave fate around this dumb curse the deity behind curses created. 

Illendra, of course, feels apprehensive about the task before her. It is her duty to seal her fate so history may be written in the way it needs to be. But….. She’ll die. Be no more. And that’s a scary thought for any creature. 

She was wallowing in her sorrow for a while, but eventually overheard rumors of a Arglwydd Amser who defied fate. One who roams free of Boss’s woven fate.

She managed to get a meeting with Gwendolyn, and ask his advice towards her situation. Gwendolyn, surprisingly, advised she follow her fate. He revealed that even he was not totally free from whatever fate the Boss decided for him now. He just refused to listen to him anymore, and recognized that their lot in life was total bullshit. The torture of knowing their fate and the fate of others would drive most mad. But they had to deal with it. They were all dolls in the major deity’s little game of house. 

However, Gwendolyn suggest she delay her fate. She didn’t necessarily have to go die immediately. She had time, and told her to only go when she was ready. See sights, conduct chaos, whatever she wanted. But, she would eventually have to go to keep history in tact. 

So, Illendra travels time. seeing things she’s always wanted to. And delaying the inevitable as much as she can. 

That's it. That's Percy's character right there. Summed up in one silly drawing. Everyone pack up, series is over.

A stupid scene I couldn’t stop thinking about. Have a sketch comic of it.

Some minor characters from my su oc au!

"Orphiment" original design by @pocket-gems

Kunzite originally adopted from this sheet by gums00se on deviantart

More about them under the cut!

Kunzite (purple- right gem), a very long time ago, at the beginning of the war for Earth. was given high rank and praise for doing something important related to the colony. After this, Kunzite became.... Full of herself and lazy. She would push tasks to her underlings while she got to laze about and do nothing. She said she was helping them! Maybe, if they tried hard enough, they could be almost as good as her!

Orphiment (yellow- left) is one of Kunzite's underlings. She is a plant researcher for homeworld who hates getting dirty, and hates her boss even more. She goes to great lengths to avoid organic grime and muck, and hates having to get down in the dirt for missions.

Kunzite, in the retreat, left an item of importance to homeworld on Earth (undecided what), and returns to get it thousands of years later. Or, rather, she sends Orphiment to get it while she relaxes in the safety of her ship.

Orphiment gives the crystal gems the runaround, and eventually leads them aboard the ship, ready to take the item home. Even if she kinda..... finds these Earth gems and odd earthling funny. If weird. She just wants to get back to clean homeworld.

Kunzite finally acquiesces and stands to face the crystal gems.... As a fusion. She orders her underling to fuse with her, so she doesn't have to put too much effort into the battle. Hey, look on the bright side, it's an honor to be able to fuse with one such as herself!

Druzy Quartz, their fusion, is boisterous and loud. Sorta a mix of Saradonyx and Sunstone personality-wise. She has two mouths. One talks in text shorthand/l33t speak while the other.... quietly corrects the grammatical errors. She has a large squeaky hammer as a weapon, combining Orphiment's syringe and Kunzite's spiked knuckles.

When defeated, Kunzite throws a temper tantrum. She should have won! She's always been told she's the best, so why did the crystal gems win! They must have cheated!

Orphiment finally stands up to Kunzite at her tantrum and tells her that if she had maybe helped, they would have won. And she's not actually so great. The rest of the ship crew pipes up in agreement. Kunzite is greatly offended and runs off to find a "better crew" who will "understand the benefits of the favors she gives them".

Orphiment gives the crystal gems the artifact back, and goes off into distant space with the rest of the crew. Off to see what wonders await out there without Kunzite breathing down their neck.

Random corrupted gems!

Mojave Turquoise was once a very intelligent archeologist, whose duty was to gather important and useful treasures from the organics of conquered worlds. She never heard the call to retreat. 

Sodalite was a crystal gem…. Until Rose killed Pink. Sodalite thought all death was unnecessary, seeing too much in her time as a homeworld loyalist. She left to be a loner on earth, not loyal to either homeworld nor the crystal gems. Unfortunately, staying on Earth was a bad idea. 

I might do more corrupted gems if you guys send me gem ideas :V

I decided to do something that would make 13 year old me happy and draw a my little pony au I loved thinking about when I was younger.

This is a no rainboom/element swap au! This will be the first of a few posts cause I want all the main six separate to explain how their lives are different with their different destinies.

First up is the one that hasn’t changed a bit since I first developed the au when I was 13 is Pink “Pinkie” Quartz Pie, the element of Kindness, and her lovely diamond dog wife Roxie! 

When Pinkie was a filly, a cave in caused her to be separated from her rock farming family. Trying to find another exit, she found a Diamond Dog pup about her age also separated from her group. Pinkie made great friends with this Diamond Dog, and the pup- named Roxie- helped her find an exit. 

Her family was at first shocked and angry to see Pinkie associating with a dangerous Diamond Dog. However,  Pinkie managed to explain that the pup and her family were of no danger to the ponies. In fact, they could even help them run the rock farm even better with their ability to sniff out gems. A peace accord between the Diamond Dogs of the mine and the Pie family was struck, and the Diamond Dogs became co-owners of the quarry the Pies owned.

This is how Pinkie earned her cutie mark. It represents her talent for diplomacy and helping/creating friendships with ponies and other species with an emblem from the first species she helped- Diamond Dogs.

She married the Diamond Dog who helped her that day later in life, and she moved to Ponyville to help Roxie try to achieve her dream of being a professional baker. Plus, Ponyville is in a great spot for her to try to craft some great friendships between ponies and not ponies!

Roxie is very stoic and quiet but loves her smol pink pony wife very much. She speaks great english unlike her show counter parts, but speaks with a thick accent that somewhere between russian and french. 

Some background students, and a minorly relevant student from hybrid high!

Drosden (Illithid/Drider hybrid - He/Him - Junior) is a pretty laid-back, token cishet dude (but like. good and nice). On the football team. Just kinda all around a relaxed dude who looks after the little guy.

Buck (Aarakocra/human hybrid - He/Him - Sophmore) is the school's star track runner. He's super into anime and Naruto runs everywhere. He’s a real “bro” guy and refers to everyone as “bro” or “dude”. You wanna watch this new isikei that came out, bro? Or you wanna talk about the latest issue of that one manga, dude? Grew up with Zipper and sees her as a little sister, even if he's since been adopted out of the foster home they grew up in.

Zipper (unknown hybrid/classified as a "chimera" - They/She - Freshman) is incredibly eccentric. They adore cryptozoology, and like talking about the logistics behind (silly- not actively harmful) conspiracy theories. Whether they actually believe these theories is up to debate. Currently living in a foster home that promises to keep her and her fellow fosters homed even after she ages out of the system. Zipper is partnered with Percy for a group project.

The Serpentine shook ever so slightly as she raised her hand to knock on the frame of the doorway of Petalite's quarters. The door was open, so she could probably intrude on the hermit gem without getting in trouble. An open door meant welcome visitors.... Or a forgotten-to-close situation.

Serpentine knocked gently on the doorway, straightening her posture so that she looked more appealing. Hopefully, Petalite would understand. She wasn't really known for being understanding but.... Serpentine had a job to do.

Petalite was hunched over her work desk, thousands of notes scattered on holo screens on the wall in front of her. Her hand buried deep in her hair, gripping it tightly. A few tears dripping down her cheeks. She barely looked over her shoulder at the knock, face mask darkening with a bitter, tired tone. "Don't you know better than to disturb me while I'm working?"

"A-Apologies, my Petalite," Serpentine saluted, sweating, "But I come to retrieve you for Blue Diamond. Her grace requests your presence."

Petalite scoffed, turning back to her desk and idly adjusting a few things that glinted in the light. Serpentine's eyes dilated when she saw they were bright pink gem shards. Were those....? "Tell her grace I'm busy. Maybe another cycle."

Serpentine sweated more and swallowed roughly. "I was told to retrieve you no matter how busy you were, my Petalite. Blue Diamond wishes to-"

"Fuck Blue Diamond's wishes!" Petalite slammed her hands on her desk roughly, rattling the shards on her desk. One fell to the ground, where a pile of shards and hastily fused together multi color shards sat at Petalite's feet. Serpentine swallowed again. "I'm trying to get our precious Pink back, and all she can talk about is how she's gone! She's not GONE-! I just haven't FIXED her yet! If she was GONE- then I- I'd have-" More tears dripped from under Petalite's face mask. The screens on the wall all blinked red suddenly, flashing one word:

FAILED. FAILED. FAILED.

Petalite angrily shoved the shards on her desk to the side, the shards hitting her wall and breaking more against it. Falling to the messy floor. She turned angrily to the Serpentine, more and more color draining from Petalite's form (if that was even possible with how bleached she was). Petalite slammed her hand on a button before Serpentine could run, activating a destabilizing field in the door way and poofing the poor messenger.

Petalite's shoulders slumped tiredly and she deactivated the field, walking over to the gem on the floor and bubbling it. She pushed the bubble outside of her doorway, and closed the door. If Blue sent another messenger, the message would be clear:

Do not disturb.
