This is empires season 1 king Joel’s weapon of choice

Cod alliance Gemcyt au

Jimmy’s room Is a giant bubble bath/ water park the water is full bubbles and there are slides everywhere as a reference to the shoots and ladders board game 

Joels is a floating area with swords and a sculpture garden filled with his original artwork ( he and Lizzie spend time there just like they did in their original garden)

Lizzies room changes the most and is the most modern so It’s something like a movie theater and since jimmy’s room isn’t safe she keeps Norman there ( he is pink like lion)

inspired by @playername-player-of-games gemcyt works

Gemcyt au that stars the cod alliance from season one empire’s and where most of the other characters where crystal gems that fought in the gem war

Grian was the leader of the rebellion that worked together with Lizzie a diamond in disguise to fake her shattering and just like in cannon the diamonds retaliated by the corrupting all the gems still on the planet 

Lizzie used her weapon to block the blast and like rose she was able to grab two others before it hit

Joel who never left her side and jimmy who stayed close to joel 

the story takes place 5,300 years after the war and starts when a modern human historian named pix befriends the survivors 

lizzie a pink diamond disguised as a rose quartz that is a scammer and is the one that makes their fake ids and legal papers 

joel a green off color pearl that was originally quiet but over the years became more outspoken and confident 

and jimmy a defective clumsy lapis that loves human board games and organic animals 

Pix questions them about the gem artifacts and ruins he has been studying and as they get more comfortable around him they start info dumping about the caste system and the war

It steadily gets more and more personal until it gets to the point where he becomes their unofficial therapist 

Then the home world gems start coming to earth again and pix becomes a diplomat that ends up using Lizzies status as a diamond to defeat the other diamonds by talking to them like Steven did in Steven universe 

this au is heavy inspired by @playername-player-of-games and @marblegroves

I propose a new curse idea in empires called the curse of the mesa any empire that is located in that biome will have an emperor that is doomed to go insane and is associated with themes of delusions and denial there death will be the same as the ones before them they will die of heart break

I don’t think season 2 Joel is a god but I do think the headcannon I’ve seen of Joel from season 1 and season 2 being the same person is true 

I believe what happened was that after his palace was destroyed and his loved ones went missing joel searched for a purpose to distract himself from the grief 

He still wanted to leave behind a legacy so he became obsessed with building his magnum opus a statue just like his citizens but so much more he would get giant muscles and be very tall and have the power of a god

he based the design off of myths like Zeus because he was inspired by his wife who was debatably a goddess also he used famous Greek sculptures as references 

While He is the same Joel from season 1 he is not an immortal god like he claims he is It would be ironic because it would make him making fun of Jimmy for being a toy hypocritical 

I also think the reason Joel targets Jimmy so much is because they used to be brothers in laws and he used to think Jimmy was a great ally and friend so seeing someone with the same face and even some similarities in personality being a corrupt sheriff well it infuriates him to no end 

You know that it's bad when grian goes on strike and refuses to build it 😭
