I’m rewatching Reunited and I noticed something.
Sapphire startles and hides her eye to prevent herself looking at Ruby-
before Ruby walks in.
Meaning she knew Ruby was about to walk in, by using her future vision.
She saw Ruby.
Now, in (American) popular culture, it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. We see later that Ruby is considered the bride by her wearing the wedding dress and walking down the aisle like a traditional (American) bride (sorta):
Now, what bad luck could this have brought? What misfortune happened later that Sapphire did not foresee because she was so distracted by Ruby and the wedding?
The Diamonds arrive.
That’s bad luck if I’ve ever heard it.

someone’s not letting Sinensis get a word in edge wise.
another gem from my oc au that I’ve been sitting on for a bit. In this au, mixed gem fusions are legal. Dolomite uses she/they pronouns.
This is Dolomite. One of the oldest gems in existence. Older than even Yellow and Blue Diamond. And one of the most mysterious. No one knows what their components are (although the fact that her gems are upon her forehead and her upper right palm are known to a few). No one alive knows when, how, or why they formed. No one knows if her cane is summoned or built by some long shattered gem.
What is known, is that iths gem is one of, if not the highest ranked non diamond gem. They are the right hand to White Diamond, being her favorite gem. She knows secrets to gem kind only White is privy to. She keeps White’s schedules, her notes, her counts, attends appointments in her place, and anything else the Diamond orders of them. Often, they even come in the place of White Diamond and makes a ruling for her, knowing what their Diamond would like best.
They do own a Pearl, and find the Pearl beautiful. They gift her many treasures meant for war heroes and the like. Even gems trapped within objects for her to wear. Only the best for their Pearl.
Dolomite’s cane is always with them. They use it to assist their walking, as it seems they have a slight limp. The can can turn into a lightning shooting destabilizer at will.
Dolomite has never poofed in public. They have gotten hurt in attacks, of course. But they always manage to keep it together long enough to poof in private. Even one time going as far as to report to White Diamond while still having a spear impaled through their abdomen.
Dolomite is considered the most powerful non Diamond gem, and is highly respected and feared. Despite her being a fusion (mixed gem fusions are still treated not great in this au). Yellow Diamond thinks it’s ridiculous she has to report to a fusion of all things most of the time. Blue Diamond finds Dolomite charming, and thinks White keeps her for decoration. A walking, talking, very high rank decoration. But both know better than to insult them.

What's the permafrost defect?
The permafrost defect is something I created for gem kind that I think would be cool.
When a gem is injected into a new colony, there could be undetectable permafrost in the ground. This is generally something that is not found until the kindergarten is mostly completed with gems already injected and cannot be fixed.
Injector fluid wraps around the ice and begins to form a gem. This makes it so that there is ice inside the gemstone when they emerge.
This ice causes erasures in a gem's coding. A gem cannot loose base abilities every gem has; fusion, shapeshifting, etc. However, a gem can loose things that are unique to that gem type. The standard form the gem has could be radically different, they could loose unique abilities (like being unable to use hydrokenisis), and they could be a totally different color than that gem type is usually. They could also loose their base coding, being barren like Amethyst was. It is rare, but a gem could also gain new abilities totally unique to them!
If a gem is born with a permafrost defect, they are taken to be judged for their usefulness in gem society. If they are judged to be useful, they are given a role that fits their use- sometimes different to what their normal use is. If they are judged to be not useful, they are sent to be shattered.
This is due to Yellow Diamond's right hand, Brimstone, having a permafrost defect and being kept.
Gems are generally considered lower class and "off color" when they are born with this defect.
Gems I have with this defect include Brimstone, loosing her base abilities, and Angelite, simply a different color than standard Angelites.
If you want to use this defect, go ahead! Just tag me so I can see what you came up with 👀
hey guys! I guest drew an update for @questionableshadows !

Here is the penultimate gem for my gem bomb; B*tch Crystal! (Yes. This is a thing.)
B*tch Crystal is an entirely unique gem, There are no other Bitch Crystals in existence. He was one of a few experimental gem types created by Pink Diamond to prove she was ready for a colony, whose recipe was lost when she was “shattered”.
B*tch Crystal is gossipy, flamboyant, loud, and extra. No one really likes him except for Blue Diamond.
I’m gonna make him Blue Diamond’s right hand in my “replace all the canon gems with ocs” au. For, B*tch Crystal is one of Pink Diamond’s lost treasures. A reminder of her. He does admire Blue, and is grateful for the role. And Blue is very protective of him despite his personality. However, she doesn’t really refer to him as “her’s” very often. She only refers to him as Pink’s. This makes B*tch Crystal quietly unhappy, but he never voices it.
B*tch Crystal tries not to think of Pink much. He only really met her once when he was born and then was ushered away for testing of his abilities. He only heard that Pink was shattered when Blue came to get him. However, he does wish he could have gotten to know her a bit better.
B*tch Crystal is not close to the other right hands, both Dolomite and Brimstone finding him annoying and tiring. He actively challenges Yellow’s rule the most, and doesn’t listen to her at times - unable to be shattered because of his closeness to Blue. He does listen to White quietly, but inwardly doesn’t like her judgemental stare. Out of everyone, B*tch Crystal feels the worst annoying Brimstone (Because Brimstone is pure and doesn't deserve this).
When Steven comes to homeworld as Rose, he does quietly ask why he did it. And if he knew her well. When it’s thought Steven is Pink, he wants desperately to know why he hid. Was it something B*tch Crystal did? But, he hides it under confidence and jokes. When Steven is found to be his own person, Bitch Crystal still wants to know him better. And goes to Earth on a quest to find himself and why Pink fell for Earth. Back to his flamboyant self the whole way.
B*tch Crystal identifies as genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns but is comfortable with she/they pronouns as well.
White Diamond Connie AU - feat Peridot and Black Jack (”Jack”) the fusion.
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.
Aaaaaa my baby!!!!!! Thank you so much for drawing her!!!!
