I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot!

I dream of life without a monarchy.

Rise up! When you’re living on your knees, you rise up.

And? If we win our independence? Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants? Or will the blood we shed begin an endless Cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?

I may not live to see our glory. But I will gladly join the fight. And when our children tell our story! They'll tell the story of tonight.

Charon was born on the streets, taken care of by drifters until they deemed they needed to drift in a different direction from a child. They weren't his parents. They didn't have responsibility towards him. No, Charon had no one to take care of him but himself. And that was fine.

He scrounged up what he could, used what others didn't need, and started getting getting minimum wage jobs as soon as people would hire him. He was hired on as simple things. But, with no formal education, he didn't have much of a chance for anything else.

Until he started overhearing dark secrets. Secrets that people wanted other people dead. And, well, they'd pay for it. Charon had two choices: turn these secret holders in and probably get hit himself for being a rat. Or get the job done.

He became a psuedo-hit man. Getting paid to kill others. It got him what he needed. He never liked that he did it, but it was what life handed him. It was fine, for a bit.

But police figured out what he was. And he was the subject of a man hunt across the united states as he fled. He was shot in a confrontation and crawled to an alley to die. He was born there, he would die there.

Death approached this dying man and felt pity for his soul. He could hear Hell calling for this man but.... Charon had been dealt a bad hand. Most people who were dealt a bad hand like this were negotiated away to purgatory- or they were condemed to hell. And Death usually didn't care. But Charon reminded him so much of another.....

Death squirreled Charon a once-in-a-blue-moon deal he couldn't refuse. He'd become a soul collector. One who would be tasked with collecting souls that Death missed and became ghosts. It was true what they said, no one could be everywhere at once. He had to collect the souls of ones who were harmful to mortals. But the ones who were minding their own buisness? Up to him as to what to do with them.

Charon accepted.

Death introduced himself as Derek, a being capable of splitting his soul off into multiple bodies so he could do his job. Derek and Charon became close as Derek taught the new soul collector the ropes. Charon felt Derek understood him, and was the closest thing that Charon had towards being a friend. Even more....

But it all came crashing down one morning. Andrea, a vampiric former guardian of Death when Death was still a new, fragil soul, came to Charon in tears. The higher ups could not find Death or his soul anywhere. And when they looked..... They found the world had created a new Death. A young girl who said her name was Dedra.

Derek was gone, as good as dead. Charon now forces himself to focus on the task he has been given. Pick up the slack from the new Death and gather souls as best he can. He just tells himself that when he's paid back his debt... He'll look for Derek's soul himself. The higher ups had to have missed something. Overlooked a small detail- something. Derek couldn't be gone.

ABOUT THE SOUL IN A JAR:

Watson was gifted to Charon when Derek was still around. This soul seems to be trapped in a magic jar that makes the heavenly powers unable to detect the soul or judge it properly, and therefore was left until it could be judged. The jar cannot be opened, no matter how hard anyone tries. It can't be broken either. It seems invincible. Derek wanted Charon to "take care" of Watson, as he didn't have time to watch over the soul anymore.

Two sketches I didn't feel like lining/coloring that I did while thinking about very minor characters I never talk about,

Helvetica having a "who broke it" moment. (His mug says: "Drink Coffee: Do Stupid Things Faster with More Energy".)

Tutorial smokes. Both tobacco and weed, though mostly tobacco. His tail wags automatically when he's very high. The broken heart cloud is cause I'm thinking Tutorial was betrayed and abandoned before he was given his role in the Land of Legends, which has worsened his descent into not trusting others and refusing to get close to anyone.

I did not feel like lining and coloring these, so you get sketches.

Have the other pearls as if they were designed like my redesign for crystal gem pearl.

Some notes:

Blue Pearl, in this au, is hinted at being a two pearl fusion, her other gem hidden behind her bangs. but it’s never confirmed. Though, her size does give a good hint....

I moved  Blue P’s gem to her right chest, as Blue Diamond would have her gem on her left chest and I wanted it kinda opposite.

Same with Yellow  Pearl, but for her right chest. 

Speaking of Yellow Pearl, she is one of few Pearls allowed to see. With her eye on her lower half  always looking. 

The “ribbon” tying her top to her is actually a face, as you can see. It bites and makes little noises at assailants. 

Lonely Pearl’s eyes opened on accident, revealing no irises and no pupils. No way to see. She was abandoned for her crime of even daring to open her eyes.

Rip Pink Pearl. Her “spikes” and cracks are all white stained, but the rest of her is pink. 

Aubergine Pearl is very excited about her freedom to see ion era three and wants to see everything. She’s more of a joke in that she gasps and Steven thinks she’s gasping at him, but she’s actually gasping at the thrones of the diamonds and finally getting to see them. 

New Future RACGWOCS au gems!

The Uncorrupted Ametrine (left) and the uncorrupted Watermelon Tourmaline (right) approached Steven and Sonora Sunrise after learning about weddings. THEY wanted to get married! Just like Sonora did to her love, Coral!

Sonora was so excited about this idea and rushed into it, happy to officiate a wedding for two gems, and started to help the duo plan their union. Two more gems, experiencing the matrimony of a wedding! Finally, someone to talk to who understood the idea!

However, Steven wasn't so sure about the union. Sure, at first, it was a great thing! But, as the planning moved on, he saw some stuff that concerned him about the engaged couple.

First, he found Ametrine and Watermelon Tourmaline had only met very recently after uncorrupting. And, they had fought on opposite sides of the war; Ametrine for Earth and Tourmaline for homeworld. Another fact was that Ametrine seemed a lot more excited about this union than Tourmaline, and their personalities seemed to clash. Ametrine was very excitable, punk, and happy-go-lucky. While Watermelon.... Was very melancholy. Eeyore like in seeing the world in a sad light.

Steven told all this to Sonora, but she ignored it. She pointed out she and Coral were not together long before marrying, and were very different as well. And yet, he didn't have a problem with them. Why was he so against this union? Steven couldn't find a reason, and relented to help the marriage go through.

Sonora did put a stop to the union, however, refusing to officiate after learning the two weren't even a couple. They had only come together to mimic something the great Sonora had done. She said that marriage was not something to take so lightly, and definitely not something to rush into without knowing the other first.

The duo separated and did not speak to one another after... But it was quickly seen that this was a bad thing.

They missed each other; Ametrine pouting that "Tourmie" would have loved things she sees at school. And Tourmaline was somehow even sadder, curling into her shell and isolating from others.

Steven and Sonora realize their mistake in splitting them up and bring the two together for a different kind of ceremony. Not a wedding, as the duo should still make sure they love each other before diving into that, but a promise ceremony. They exchanged gifts and promised to try to learn more about the other, and be together like they want. And, to try to learn to love each other enough that maybe one day they can get married.

The two leave as a happy couple into the sunset :^).

oh gosh she looks lovely!! I love her!

Drawing AU fic: "Pearl's Pearl"

I read the fanfic "Pearl's Pearl" by yaboyrobin on AO3 and saw the link to a drawing of the new Pearl in question, and I wanted to draw her. I'm mostly just posting this for an easy way to show the author.

It's not that great bc it was drawn on Chrome canvas, as that's what's accessible to me rn, but I hope you like it!

Maybe a Painite?

Painites create artificial form enhancers specifically for Pearls. Their fans, wands, any artificial fabric they might wear, etc. 

This one, however....

Something happened to her-.... 

A concept my boyfriend and I tossed back and forth a while ago that I suddenly remembered and felt like drawing; The Rogue Toad -Also known as The Red Rogue! We came up with him after tossing back and forth ideas for party members for a stealth-based Mario game.

This Toad, after a youth of servitude to the Princess, finally snapped and had enough of the mistreatment. He fled the castle, abandoning his post and turning to a life of crime.

The Red Rogue hates Peach with a passion and actually runs a halfway house for Toads that want to escape her terrible management style. The footstool punishments, the payment only in hugs and kisses, having your life risked for a princess who doesn't know how to defend herself, getting underestimated just because of their species - Toads that wanted to get away from it could go there. Most of them go back, merely using the house as a place they can relax and be themselves.

The Red Rogue is now the head of a criminal empire, pulling strings only a Toad could because no one expects much from them. He can go undercover as a normal Toad, no one noticing his distinguishing big eyebrows or shroom scar. He's even gone back to the castle, and been face to face with the Princess. Just goes to show she doesn't really notice them much if she doesn't realize his features.

His scar is from when he got royal footstool duty during the princess's "that time of the month"..... Her monthly foot fungus. What? What did you think it was? She lives around mushrooms constantly, of course she gets monthly fungus. The spot got infected very badly and part of his shroom had to be cut out. Leaving the scar.

Life is a never-ending show, my friend, A twisting-turning, ever-bending show. The audience is everyone you know, my friend; Leave them with a smile when you go!

You can bet, that you're a star, so don't forget How fun you are! Get up there and give it your all And don't stop dancing, don't stop dancing 'til the curtains fall!
