Abalone! A Bismuth and Pearl fusion inspired by the most recent episode. A funky and flashy roller rink girl, a little bit Dolly Parton and a little bit Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.
I think diamond swap AUs are a really fun exercise in character design, and just generally I've had one in mind for awhile 😭 so here's a "pink in white's place" design for what I call the "clown court AU"
Some info / thoughts below the cut!
While Homeworld under White is very sleek and sterile, I imagine Homeworld under Pink as somewhere very vibrant, bouncy, loud, sometimes to the point of being overwhelming
Organic life is taken from other worlds and placed upon the planet, but with no thought really given to the unique needs of different forms of organic life. Pinks healing powers keep flora fresh, but if you go outside the premises you may find many wilted if not decaying plants.
Admittedly it's a little hard to think of a story here that makes sense to Me without going against the themes of the actual show! I can imagine a situation where an overly indulgent life style is depicted as a negative thing, However I can see this being a slippery slope that leans into some harmful ways of thinking. Another idea I had was the theme of repression... But whereas White represses herself to be seen as perfect, I think Pink in this specific scenario would be repressed in a way where she forces herself (and other gems) to be happy happy happy all the time! Which also isn't healthy.
I wanted to give her a "nest" of Spinel in her hair, but I couldn't think of a way to draw it that would look good at this scale 😭
The carousel horses in her skirt are always moving. I also think of the base of a dress as a small theatre stage. Instead of moving her body, the base rotates when she needs to face someone.
I think of her a little like Drosselmeyer from Princess Tutu, whose main goal with his story was simply to see what new and exciting things would happen when he added random details to the writing.
Something about disregarding a child's need for privacy and the occasional peace and quiet ......
i love adventure time because finn will really just continually go through the most worldbreakingly traumatic psychological torture every other day and visibly display symptoms of being split into a billion realities of eternal suffering forever and then jake will maybe make him a burrito about it
randomly in the mood to overshare lenny has this multicolored hoodie they bought at target and i told them they looked like a bad soundcloud rapper called lil cookie crumb and now every single time they put on that hoodie we have to say that they’re donning the mask of lil cookie crumb
