Next in the element swap au; Rarity, the element of Laughter. And her future spouse, Starswirl the Storm Creature!
Rarity wanted ever so much to do something for the school play when she was a filly. The costumes she’d designed just weren’t..... right. And there was no way she’d get a staring role short of a filly suddenly falling deathly ill, and her taking the spot.
So, for inspiration, she borrowed books on performances from the local library. She found descriptions of many performances through the years.... And found her idea. She found the concept of special effects, and how to perform certain spells in order to make things pop out more.
The night of the play, she tested out her new spells. And it worked! The play was much more dazzling and eye catching, thanks to her magic!
This is how she got her cutie mark, representing her talent in “show stopping” magic. She is now a show mare, much like Trixie is in the show. But much more humble. She does many shows for children’s parties.
Starswirl came to Ponyville after the Storm King’s defeat, searching for what to do now that their boss was gone. They found a fascination with magic, pony books, knitting.... So many new hobbies were open to them now! (Their personality is like a mix of Fluttershy and Twilight. Nerdy and very quiet and, well, shy)
They did not, however, have a name when they first arrived. This was because the Storm King did not allow the Storm Creatures to name their young, as it would give them an identity beyond serving him. The mane six help them select a name to set in stone their freedom, and they pick Starswirl.
Starswirl is Rarity’s number one fan, and they always are in the crowds at her public shows. Starswirl is mute selectively and signs to communicate, but can still talk if absolutely necessary.

Do not make any pun with that name I beg you
New racgwocs au gem - adopted from DarkLolipop88 on dA (with some edits haha) - Chatoyany! An about her under the cut:
One of four survivors of the war for Earth (along with Rose Quartz, Sonora Sunrise, and a yet undecided gem), Chatoyancy was originally crafted by Blue Diamond (with Yellow’s essence) to humor Pink Diamond’s cries for peace talks with the crystal gems. Her purpose was to go before the crystal gems, and discuss agreeable terms of surrender for the end of the war. Things Homeworld would want if they won. And things the crystal gems would want if, stars forbid, they won.
Chatoyancys are generally crafted for jobs that Homeworld does not want to waste an entire gem line for, and do odd jobs before being reassigned to other odd jobs. They’re seen as low class, no matter their task. Throw away gems no one really thinks of.
This Chatoyancy….. Didn’t want her life decided for herself. She didn’t want to go into a war field and be inevitably captured for just doing her job. But, the whispers of her expected convincing to join the other side while she was there…. It kept her away.
No, Chatoyancy did not fight for Earth, not for Homeworld, not for the crystal gems, not for Rose, not for the Diamonds.
Chatoyancy fled and looked out for herself. and the small gems the war forgot.
She became a nuisance to both sides. stopping things she saw as wrong or immoral with her smoke creating cherry bombs, tripping gems up with her caltrops, throwing sharpened playing cards, or crafting near perfect shadow clones to distract the enemy and quickly getting away with her shadowy form and lithe figure. She stopped Homeworld from shattering those fighting for their own freedom, and she stopped the crystal gems from kidnapping loyalists to try to sway them to their side. She couldn’t be everywhere of course, always feeling bad she couldn’t do anything for Pink. She always said she was against homeworld but…. Pink was her diamond. The very reason she was alive. Maybe if she had discussed terms of surrender first before fleeing…. Just maybe…
She was her own gem, until the corruption light hit.
Rose saved who she could in the moment, scooping the survivors close and bracing for impact. She thought she only saved two…. But Chatoyancy’s poofed stone was under her protective shield. Another was saved.
Chatoyancy wouldn’t listen to any of the survivors for hide nor hare. She was a rebel to the rebels. Refusing to truly join their side, for she hated that Rose had shattered someone. And, it would make all those whispering gems right all those years ago. However, she stayed with them. Her chance of survival with all these corrupted gems was better as a group. Plus, well….. it was company that wouldn’t inevitably rot.
Chatoyancy is head strong, won’t back down from anything, and challenges ideas Rose had more openly than the others. To Steven, she is the rebellion emo older sister who helps him get away with things the others would never let him do. She encourages him to think for himself, and secretly hopes he will be just as kind, loving, and wonderful as Rose was to her- despite her dissent.
Chatoyany’s gem is on her left palm.
Chatoyancy uses she/they pronouns.
Just thought I'd say for everyone since someone asked privately- Unless I specifically say in the description the gem is one of a kind or something like that (ex- Brimstone, Skull Star); please feel free to make your own versions of any gems I design! Just please be sure to credit me for the original concept n stuff. And if you wanna make fan fusions or fan art, feel free to submit em to me!
No reason fan fusion between Yellow Diamond and Rhodonite; Coffinite
TIME FOR ME TO FINALLY SETTLE ON A DESIGN FOR THIS CONCEPT I’VE HAD FOR YEARS. NEW DECADE, NEW ME.
Legends tell of a man who collects souls deep in the forest. Be good, children, or The Soul Collector will swipe your soul away....
Sabres is a crossbreed. Born to a one night stand between a water fae and an Atlantean, Sabres was raised by his fae mother and his other fae relatives. His father didn’t have a chance to fight for his custody, being killed by Sabres’s mother after a confrontation.
Since he was a tiny guppy, Sabres has been.... Different. Even amongst other fae. He’s always been interested in death. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the fae who study necromancy. But, Sabres seemed to take his fascination... In a different direction.
He knew that his father was killed by his mother. His mother was open about it to her son. But.... Sabres wanted to know his father. Know his Atlantean side.
He studied up on magic and, as a teenager, finally could cast a spell to contact the dead. What he found was.... horrifying.
His father was in Hell. He wasn’t a perfect man, by any means, but he wasn’t terrible either! (At least, not by his standards.) Sabres was confused. How could his father be in hell if he wasn’t too bad?
Sabres wanted to save those who weren’t bad, like his father. He couldn’t save his father now, but he could save others! He had to. He would find a way to sneak the “less bad” into the demanding heaven. Or at least find a way to lessen Heaven’s standards.
He started to tinker in dark magic, turning himself undead at some point so he could have more time to study up on magic. After Primrose’s confrontation with him, Sabres found the last bit they were missing. He found a way to get souls into a “neutral state”. They wouldn’t fight against him, they wouldn’t commit more “sins”, they wouldn’t do anything in this state. Not even think or speak or anything. But, that was fine. Once Sabres found a way to sneak them into Heaven, they could catch up on lost years!
Sabres uses his magic to keep him and his souls undetected by the “higher-ups”. So many souls have gone missing over many years. But, the higher-ups never noticed. At least, all of the higher-ups except for Death. It was his job to find souls after all.....
Now Sabres is in crunch mode. Someone’s bound to come looking for Death sooner or later. Maybe he could use the man as a captive? A ransom so Heaven would lessen his standards? He isn’t sure, but he knows he needs to figure it out soon. Or else fail. and waste his life’s work.
Don't worry about the guilt you feel. Just take a breath and seal the deal!
It's @thepuppeteer-andthetrashmob 's birthday! (Well it was. Couldn't get myself to draw until stupid late.) I thought I'd doodle our discord icons celebrating their revolution around the sun! Arsene from Persona 5 is them and Lonely Pearl from Steven Universe is me lol. Happy birthday!!!!
