How would they have found out if none of them knew? I'm MEGA curious

Someone figures it out, but it's not one of the cgs.

That's all I'll say until I design who reveals it. >:3c

"Oh- I don't think my name is important to my day to day life. People come and go from me so often that it's unreasonable to give them my actual name. You can just call me the Gardner."

Meet the lovely "Gardner" - my idea for a purely hypothetical partner for both Peach and Grey from the lovely @prof-peach. More about them under the cut!

Gardner came upon the island very suddenly. One day they were not there and the next... They had situated themselves within the greenhouse, pulling weeds with a hum in their throat.

Peach and Grey paid them no mind at first. No questions of where they were from or what they wanted of this island. But, one day they received news of the guardian pokemon from the restricted north end spotting the seemingly very smart individual having a bloody picnic on the very border of the land, with a very surly Sylveon on the other side joining them - all at ass o'clock in the morning.

Peach confronted Gardner the next morning and started asking questions. Mostly what the hell they were thinking and how they had gotten the Sylveon to eat with them when that Sylveon had been there for literal years with human blood on its muzzle and a dead, violent stare at any who passed it. Who the hell were they?

Gardner's answer?

They weren't anyone special- just someone who found themselves peckish on a insomnia induced walk and found themselves entertaining a "very kind" and "pleasant" Sylveon. They really had no idea they weren't supposed to be there until a guard pokemon tried to usher them away.

Peach and Grey kept an eye on Gardner after this and learned more of the odd fellow.

Their past is a mystery. They wave off any questions of who they were before this, and don't answer where they're from. If the accent is anything to go off of, they at least grew up in Galar. They loved to garden, seeing Peach every day in the greenhouse. They see Grey most often in the breeding center, a seeming expert on the craft of raising and caring for eggs, carrying pokemon, and reering any abandoned young. They learned of their partner pokemon; the dear elderly November the Roselia, the freshly hatched Peep the Hoothoot/Oricorio hybrid with no wings and only one leg, the aptly named "Surprise" - a stubborn unknown egg they always have in their overalls that has refused to hatch for a while now, and the mentions of another partner the duo know nothing of- but that is missed dearly.

Grey was the first to get closest to Gardner, wanting to make sure the fellow was legit at first but... They were so kind and lovely! Sure, they didn't talk of their past, but Peach didn't either at first. Maybe they had family issues as well. And, this island was open to anyone looking to escape from their lives. So long as they didn't cause trouble. The true terror in their eyes at the idea of returning to the mainland, and the voracity they defended the place during attacks with sealed it.

This "Gardner" was a friend.

A... friend who seemed to flirt without realizing they were flirting. A friend who wrote and passed letters to Grey when they were relaxing in the same room, and he wrote back. A friend who stayed up all hours to watch a sickly egg they weren't sure was going to make it. A friend who cried happy, blubbering tears seeing two pokemon find love. A friend who sang odd songs, and cooked terrible food at all hours of the night. Who straightened Grey's clothes with a passing comment that there was such an odd spot that looked a bit funky. Who made tea and awful snacks Grey ate anyway while they watched eggs. Who held his hand as they walked. Who pet his more vicious pokemon and became a staple to life.

Grey fell hard and fast for Gardner. They were just so... Lovely.

Peach was apprehensive but... Let Grey do as he pleased. Helped Grey pick out an outfit to ask the lovely Gardner out. Sat and listened as Grey gushed about the lovely night they'd had and how Gardner didn't even seem to know it was a date until Grey outright kissed Gardner's hand at the very end of the night.

Peach fell for Gardner when Gardner seemed to be sticking around more and more. Their knowledge of plants and grass pokemon was... attractive. And the "Secret notes" Gardner left to boost Peach's day were nice. How Peach learned of the horrific burn scar that covered most of their torso that they waved off after taking off their shirt to warm a cold pokemon. How they still pet Val... a bit apprehensively but kindly. How they could gush about Grey together, and plot ways to woo their man. Gardner seemed to hid a mischevious side that showed more when around Peach. How they watched Peach wrestle a protective Ursarang and offer a nice drink after. How she was slotted between the cuddling Gardner and Grey at night. How Gardner would try their best not to wake them when their insomnia kept them up. How they convinced the Sylveon they met all that time ago to return with them to the main island. How Grey lit up to talk about them. How they laughed and snorted and were just lovely and-

Oh.

Oh dear.

Peach was encouraged to pursue Gardner by an estatic Grey. They both had two hands to hold them with! Peach was, of course, stubborn and refused to do anything until the notes Gardner left turned into "secret admirer" notes. Then she had to confront the silly, sweet Gardner and be taken out on a nice moonlit walk.

The three are all very happy together.

They can never know Gardner was originally hired to bring Peach back to her family by any means necessary, or face more, worse consequences than the burn they endured. How they used to be a hired breeder for the family Peach never met, but their heart couldn't take the treatment the pokemon endured and they paid for it with this favor. How they didn't mean to fall for Grey and Peach, but they did. How it's never been an act, but that Sylveon incident was planned. How that's their Sylveon and always has been; that mysterious "other partner" and their first pokemon.

They can never know.

Did another update for my friend’s blog! Check it out! Send asks! 

guest art once again by @yaboy-robin

A Pearl that was born highly defective due to orders from her owner, who secretly was part of a mixed fusion in her off time. Her defects include: blindness, having four arms,and having slightly longer legs than normal (making her a head taller than the average Pearl).

She was put in a rejuvenation chamber for all her flaws, in hopes that she could be customized by her next owner to be non defective. If not, she would be shattered. 

However, she was left forgotten. As, the rejuvenation chamber was on Earth. And the retreat order was called before she could be retrieved. 

Rose found her about a thousand years after the war, and accidentally activated her, the poor Pearl’s default settings keeping her defective. Over the next thousands of years, the other crystal gems teach her how to be free. 

Rose helps her edit bits of her outfit to make her more comfortable and confident. A bow to push her hair out of her eyes and show off their beauty, a shawl to cover the arms she’d rather not show, and a bell to help her listen to the sound bouncing off the walls so she can judge where she is within buildings (plus it alerts others to keep an out out for the poor Pearl), 

Unsure of a nickname for this little lady.

I thought it would be fun to draw @ask-whitepearl-and-steven ‘s Steven and my personal gem oc Dolomite interacting! A small drabble to go with this under the cut

Steven hummed to himself while holding tight onto the fidgeting Sea Glass. The crystal gems thought perhaps Adventurine had fled into the nearby woods for the hiding space, so the gems were all camping here for a few days to look for her. 

Currently, Steven had been told to stay put while the gems handled a noise that was likely to belong to a corrupted gem nearby. He knew he could fight, but would rather not fight if not necessary. So, he sat against the tree. Waiting for the gems to return.

Dolomite returned before the other gems, parting the brush with frustration - sticks in her perfect hair and scuffs over her suit. "I hate foliage."

"Dolomite!" Steven called to his room mate and.... friend? Dolomite was hard to read, being so quiet and staring at him quietly a lot. She said she knew White Diamond before he was.... this. But never said much about the before. Said that she preferred to keep those sorts of things private. Steven considered her a friend, even if she was hard to talk to sometimes. She had saved him so much, it was hard not to. "Are you okay?"

"You look like shit!" Sea Glass barked with a wide grin. 

"Sea Glass!" Steven squawked, "where did you learn-"

"Amethyst!" Sea Glass grinned up at Steven diabolically. 

"Of course," Steven sighed exasperatedly. Dolomite had brushed herself off at this point, thrown her cane to the side, and went to sit..... But instead twisted herself so she could sit upside down against a tree. Letting her legs fall forward to the ground in front of herself and folding her two sets of arms in front of her stomach. 

Steven smiled slightly at the silliness of the formal gem sitting so oddly. "I wanna do that!" CG wrangled herself out of Steven's arms and sat next to Dolomite, maneuvering so she could sit on her head as well. But, she quickly fell over with an "oof!"

Dolomite took a deep breath. In through her mouth. Out through her nose. "What are you even doing?" Steven chuckled lightly as CG tried to maneuver herself to sit on her head again. Not like she had any blood, so it wouldn't hurt her to do so.

Dolomite's eyes flicked over to Steven, before speaking tiredly, "I'm letting the light in my form rush to my gem. It gives me a little more energy to deal with this.... foliage. It can be done standing but...." Dolomite shrugged, "I thought this would be comfortable," there was a pause and a wrinkling of her nose, "It isn't." 

Steven laughed before pausing. Her gem, huh.... "Hey, Dolomite-" Steven looked her up and down. He'd never seen it before. Was it rude to ask? "Where is your gem?"

Dolomite blinked a moment. She let herself fall to the side, before writing her posture to be sitting up. She stared off into the trees. Steven sweated, seeing her distant expression. "I'm sorry- Is it rude to ask-"

"No." Dolomite interrupted, one arm moving to help CG sit on her head with support. She watched CG's happy smile for a moment as she sat oddly. "For most gems, where our gems are is a statement." She motioned with another arm, "You have a big heart, you're nurturing and kind-" She leaned forward and tapped his gem gently, "You favor thinking things through more than others. All gems wear them loudly and openly, to absorb light and to show how they may stand out from the thousands of other gems out there. But-" She looked away for a moment, "I..... Not even you have seen my gems." 

"Yeah, I haven't," Steven tilted his head, "That's why I asked where-"

"I'm sorry." Dolomite shook her head, "I meant..... Not even White saw them. Before." 

Oh. Steven swallowed. CG fell to the side again. She looked between the two before crawling back to Steven’s lap. Ignoring the serious conversation. "I kept it a secret. Keep it a secret." Dolomite did not meet Steven's eyes, looking distantly. "I don't know why. Maybe some part of me likes the air of mystery. Not even the Diamonds knew! Surely, that made me special. Made me stand out. Maybe that's what attracted her to me in the first place. My confidence to show that I was special. Like her. She never said why she kept me. She just.... did." Dolomite played with her hair for a moment. watching the white strands curl between her fingers. "Sometimes I think I was lucky. That she didn't make an example out of me. That she saw my bright-eyed loyalty to show her our new form, and eventually made me her right hand when Yellow made the position. Instead of making me her puppet."

"Dolomite, I-" Steven started, leaning forward a comforting hand. His brows furrowed a second. "Wait, 'our'?"

Dolomite smiled at Steven tiredly, “Steven- It thought you realized by now. The two eyes on one side, the four arms-” She chuckled before motioning to herself, “I’m a fusion.”

Steven stared at her in shock, before shouting so loud he would find he scared off the corrupted gem monster later-

“YOU’RE A WHAT?!”

thank you so much again for doing him!!! he looks so goooood.

PSX Character Commission for @yaboy-robin's OC, Jasper!

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.

The Bard's Song

Tomorrow will take us away, Far from home. No one will ever know our names! But the bards' songs will remain! Tomorrow will take it away, The fear of today, It will be gone! Due to our magic songs!

No-one should ask you for the name Of the one Who tells the story

happy almost new year, everyone!

I wanted to do one of these this year, so figured I'd post it on new year's eve.

It's been a busy year for me! This year, I made (most of) the racgwocs au, hybrid high, Hitchcock, and even Fun Solver recently! This has been the year of B*tch Crystal, the year of trying to plan comics for the first time in years, the year of fun crossovers, and the year of just making things for me! Not that I haven't in years past, but this has just been a big year of creation for me. And I'm super happy about it!
