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 đź‘€

hey guys! I guest drew an update for @questionableshadows !Â

Another replace all canon gems with ocs au gem; Romanechite!
Romanechite, or “Roman” for short, was once a servant. Romanechites are used to keep secrets for the upper class. If asked, they physically cannot tell a secret to any other gem. Not even the Diamonds. They can be general secret keepers for the mass. Or, alternatively and as was Roman’s case, they can be owned much like a Pearl.Â
Roman was once owned by a very high up Serpentine, keeping her secrets as needed. For, Serpentine was messenger for the Diamonds themselves. Delivering notes and orders from Blue Diamond to lower class gems.Â
Being dragged around so many places lead Roman to meet many gems. And, being a very good listener, had many gems vying for her affections. It wasn’t long before Roman came to her Serpentine to tell her she was going to file for permanent fusion status with a gem she had found love with (mixed gem fusion is legal in this au; just fusions are looked down on, generally lower class, and generally treated poorly. Dolomite is very much an outlier). There was no problem with this.... Well. Just one problem.
Serpentine loved Romanechite. And wanted her all to herself.Â
Serpentine took an extreme step, and used a rejuvenator to reset both gems. Sending the offending lover away to awaken elsewhere. And, hoping to woo Romanechite this time.
Only, she didn’t. Roman found another gem to love. With the same results. And another, and another, and another...
Serpenite wasn’t sure how many times Romanechite had come forward with a new love before Roman found the rejuvenator's logs. Roman was.... So very angry. So very hurt, betrayed, broken, lost, wondering who she had lost without knowing....
Roman confronted Serpentine, and a fight ensued. Roman won, shattering her owner.Â
Roman ran away after this, gathering the pieces of Serpentine and keeping one piece for herself. She hid in the depths of underworld. And, she found a group of other runaway off color gems to keep close with while she tried to grapple with her losses.
Roman, in era three, runs a support group for gems who were rejuvenated but never got her memories back like herself. And, she hopes that maybe she will find a gem she lost to her horrible boss....
Roman’s gem is on her upper back!
toot toot.
Covah was originally created, in a very edgy way that would be practically unrecognizable to anyone looking at it today, in late July! So, here’s something for the kinda birthday boy! Reference taken from this videoÂ
Look, I wrote a thing. If you're interested in my (nsfw/) headcanons for the Our Life love interests, then read on!

Marlowe:
is uhm.... is marlowe okay? reading his family situation makes me worried.
Marlowe is perfectly fine. Definitely not shoving down any and all negative feelings attached to this situation. Definitely doesn't have self image issues with the fact that Dave hasn't formally adopted him yet. Or with the fact no one has expressed interest in adopting him. Definitely doesn't have commitment issues after seeing the absolute horrendous outcome of their own parent's marriage. He definitely doesn't dread every visit, certainly not holding out a sliver of hope in his heart of heart that his parents won't dead name him- or even pay attention to anything he tries to talk about for even a minute.
No, Marlowe is perfectly fine.
Why do you ask?
New our life mc; Jasper (he/they/it!) He was a pen pal to Cove from Nevada through the course of their life and eventually gets with Cove in adulthood :^) He's an artist but mainly does taxidermy for money!
