《《《☆It could have been great [Blue diamond's au]☆》》》
Pearl: "And you look at that,All the plans for a complete Earth colony. Eighty-nine kindergartens, sixty-seven spires, a Galaxy Warp in each facet...oh my stars! look how many rare gems were planned to be made here..[laughs] What were you thinking,revolting against this? It could've been great!"
Peridot: "we were thinking much more clearer and thoughtful than you!do you have any idea of what THIS could have caused?!Completing this colony would have meant the extinction of all life on Earth! Killing all it's potential for something greater and also killing-"
Blue pearl: "all it's inhabitants,which would include..."
[Blue pearl and Peridot looks at Connie,Lapis lazuli hand on Connie's hair seems to be holding stronger than before]
CRAZY POKEMON THEORY: Zekrom,Reshiram and Kyurem are analogous to nuclear weapons!
Okay for starters how i had this idea?simple! i started to notice the weird connection bettween Unova and Galar just thinking to myself "okay that makes sense england colonized united states in real life,so i guess it makes their pokemon contraparts be the same"
Until i found out that Reshiram,Zekrom and Kyurem have different and unique pokedex entries in Sword and Shield for some reason:
Before showing Kyurem entry in SwSh,let's give a closer look to their entries.
They are strangely specific,it would be only thing if it was only "if people ignore the truth" but is the consumed by greed part that takes me,there is many things that makes people ignore the truth,why greed in specific?
And then there is Zekrom that has almost nothing to do with ideals just if people lose righteousness.
Another thing is that while the previous entries is said that they can scorch the world it isn't said that they will in certain circumstances,especially when this entries just mentions the word kingdoms and never the world itself.
It's also worth noticing how it's said "Reshiram will arrive" as if it wasn't already there,so this certainly dosen't refer to any past event in unova when Reshiram burned it or anything like that,i mean in both black/black 2 and white/white 2 there is no entry that mentions this myth both for Reshiram and Zekrom.
I would also like to mention how this more mysterious entries are in Shield and not Sword,but i will go back on this later.
Now let's look at Kyurem
First is curious how there isn't a myth that Kyurem may destroy a kingdom if certain conditions are meet,only that it has foreseem a world of truth/an ideal world and that it strives and battles to protect this future.
You probably are seeing where i'm going...
The Galarian-Unovian war
It's not unusual to pokemon to take inspiration in real life history for their regions,key word:inspiration,it dosen't mean they write something similar to it at all,after all Unova(the pkmn equivalent of USA) has a medieval history.
Now it's an fact that galar has LOTS of references to Unova,many Unovian pokemon are there,the unique pokedex entries,the swords of justice in the DLC.
Now that means that Galar colonized Unova?i honestly don't believe,Unova is at the very least 3000 years old and while Unova name means from latin "new 1" It's japanese name means "one variety" in reference to it's diversity and if we remember that Unova had a civil war among the sons of the Twin heros,it makes sense that they had a "new union" after that,this is not a Hissui situation.
But i do believe they had a war in the past,one that Galar started out of greed,probably having the same plans that the english did in real life,however this is where the nuclear weapon theory begins.
The two dragons seeing the destruction that Galar brought to their region,the region that they as the original dragon made,decided to take matters into their own hands and fly towards the region of their invader.
Reshiram burned Galar(similar to the great fire of London in 1666),since in it's judgement Galar's people were consumed by greed and ignored the truth.
Zekrom razed Galar with it's lightning,maybe even striking ships,since in it's judgment Galar's people had lost their righteousness.
And after such an attack the ended the lifes of many people and pokemon,they ended the war once for all,Galar surrenders and stops their evil doings in Unova.
(Remembered when i said it was curious that the entries were in Shield,well what shields were made to do? to defend!)
Now if this sounds familiar,let me rewrite this in a more vague way:
In the past a island nation invaded another nation,in retaliation the invaded nation sends fire from hell and lightning that made that caused destruction as never seem before,the island nation in pure fear of them seending an third plague,they surrender and the war is over.
I guess now it's more obvious,while the context is drastically different(plus btw i think that what USA did to Japan in ww2 was horrible and cruel)it can be basically descrived the same way.
And it's not just that:
Zekrom has eletric type and destroys using lightning,one of the primary forces of nuclear explosions,is the shock waves and in a way you could say that a bomb is similar to lighting,it comes from the sky and it vaporizes it's target without any mercy.
Reshiram has fire type,one of the primary forces unleashed in a nuclear explosion, second only in intensity to the crushing overpressure of the blast but causing far more damage over a much larger radius, is fire.
And then there is Kyurem that while dispite probably not being envolved in this attack considering it's galarian pokedex entry,is part of the Tao trio,In real life after bombing Japan twice United States was thinking in doing a third attack,but at the end they never went ahead with the plan,plus Kyurem has an ice type,one of the theorized collateral effects of nuclear bombs being used in mass,is "NUCLEAR WINTER" and in a way Kyurem is the collateral effect of the original dragon separation into Zekrom and Reshiram.
Zekrom and Reshiram are also one of the strongest legendaries and they were for an part of Unova history,owned by their kings.
But wait there is more,Yamask is an pokemon that is found in Unova that has an Galarian varient,pokemon who's pokedex says that it was once human.(plus the galarian Yamask is basically just an regular Yamask but in a clay slab).
Could be Yamask an remain of the Galarian-Unovian war?
There is also the relation that Kalos has to Unova,that shows that both regions were historically close partners, i mean 300 years ago Unova helped Kalos to make an castle this is not something you do for everyone.
And in the castle gardens we find the statues of Reshiram and Zekrom
This is an reference of the alliance of france and USA that was made during the independecy and war against england.
Unova and kalos could have become partners during the Galarian-Unovian war,who knows
And again this castle was build only 300 years ago and the whole Az sh@$ was 3000 years ago when the original dragon was divided bettween the twin heros in UNOVA,So NO,Az was not one of the twin heroes,he didn't build this castle,it was the twin heroes SONS who fought eachother in a war,i'm tired of seeing people saying this stupid theory online,again pokemon fans don't beat the "we don't know how to read" allegations!!!
And before anyone says that my theory is too dark to be true,remember that Az backstory and war crimes exist and that they weren't that much different from what i think was the Galarian-Unovian war.
But that's it,that's my dumb theory,it may gain more evidence in Legends galar or be completely destroyed,who knows,but hey this is just a theory!
Guys sorry for taking long to post something but i'm drawing fusions something more trick to draw,plus pokopia lauched,i'm into a new fandom,have college and i'm back in my pokemon phase and i have the dumbest theory ever about unova which i will post later this day
Images of my uncoming Steven universe fanfic(not comic): "Do it for earth:ancient tales of revolution"
Based on the rewrite Steven universe:Starlight by @anroko-draws
Where basically pink diamond is not rose quartz plus a series of other changes
The first chapter of this anthology will be like this:
After Pearl being separated from the other crystal gems in battle, she is taken by a group of defective gems who were saved by humans from being shattered,as their own and now she needs to find a way to come back to the temple.
Plus some short backstory of one of the main gems of this group
Sorry for the art style inconsistency,this started as simple redrawings of SU screenshots plus im starting college so i didn't have much time.
Writer note: the main source of inspiration for the idea of humans saving off colors was based on my idea that i stated before in my secondary account of the humans starting the rebelion by trying to get the gems on their good side,basically what steven does but intentional, and the episode of lars meeting the off colors is show that many homeworld weapons dont take human biology in mind which can be pretty useful,dispite many of them still being able to hurt humans.
Not to mention jasper speech to steven about rose
(not that any of this makes the humans in the wrong after all its their whole existence that is on stake and its not like the gems werent benefiting from humankind influence)
If anything this is homeworld's fault,the moment they choose Earth as colony,it was the moment that the rebelion was inevitable,why?
Their main group of soldiers in the colony are know for being gentle giants who have a tendency of mischief(a misture of Pink and Blue diamond essences),plus most of the soldiers were literally born yesterday.
They never have had to compete with another ideologies,they just expected things will just go as normal but gems are terrible to adapt to new situations and the adition of an inteligent species was something no gem ever had to deal before.
They didn't make a system where even the lowest think is better than the humans(at least not until it was too late) any signal of deviation was certain death,the diamonds basically create a whole group of gems who had no reason to be loyal to the diamonds,a whole group who would love the opportunity of being able to mere exist in a place without fear and there is nothing like a common enemy in the making of alliances.
Not to mention this was Pink diamond's first colony,she had no experience in the matter,especially with a rebellion happening so early, a rebelion that most of her own gems participated(if we consider that gems being from earth are frowned upon and that her colony was quickly falling apart after Rose's speech,which would be insanaly fast).
Its ironic how different Earth's gems were from their mother,they had their essence and in many ways they reflected their diamond,however they had something that Pink diamond never have or at least stopped having a very long time ago: compassion,empathy and love. Pink diamond mistake,the diamonds mistake was believing that Earth's gems would be as cold and ruthless as them,they coudn't be more wrong.
I like the idea that the gems,dispite being an alien species, were better than us,more human than us,at least in comparision to what happened in real life.in a way the crystal crusaders were very wholesome when subject was Earth and the humans,at least most of them
And yes I reused the zoo humans to make the human characters here since the zoo is not even a thing here anyway
Something that i will have to make clear in my au is that dispite the similarities with the og Steven universe this WILL NOT be a one for one retteling of the series but with different characters this time,yes many plot beats will be shared but many things will be VERY DIFFERENT!!!
For starters because i let myself be carried away the worldbuilding will be very different here,the Beach city we know Is not the same as this Beach city,the alternative history is totally different(how different?well colonialism not even was able to happen in this timeline so that is a clue) dispite that at first glance Beach city looks the same.
There is also the fact that this au's main idea is to be a uncanny valley similarity...
How can i explain? I know Let's use Malachite for example,in the original Steven universe,Malaquite symbolized a toxic/abusive relationship,a destructive and unsustainable one,where both Lapis and Jasper harmed each other in so many ways that will mark them for life.
But imagine an alternative timeline where Malachite was not a unstable fusion,where Malachite was a fusion where both gems cherish being with each other,yes...she may be less powerful(for narrative reasons) and can be very destructive because of the combination of Lapis and Jasper personalities,but she is still a healthy fusion,the proof being that the main reason that Malachite is so dangerous is because the two easily can be carried away and lose control because of how much fun they having,the fusion looks similar to the og one and can be as scary as well and yet the context is so different...its almost uncanny.
(Imagine the second Malachite screenshot as her without chains kissing melon Steven).
Do you get now? For the main characters this is a "what they could be" if in different contexts,timings or situations,how happier and how sadder they are compared to their original contraparts(i think that the music "everything stays" represents this feeling well)
This Jasper fought against homeworld and is proud of it,this Lapis has no trauma of fusion and dispite she still having many traumas, she is a lot more happier,this Peridot was forced to be more serious for the sake of Connie and this Blue Pearl takes the place of the renagade pearl,she is her own gem,she may be still quiet but she is not that submissive pearl standing in the conner that we saw for most of the series.
This Pearl never had the chance to fall in love with Pink diamond and become her own gem,this Garnet was forced to hide who she really are for millenia,this Amethyst is desperate for belonging and connection that she will put herself in many problems because of it.
This Earth had continents changed so fast,so many life forms changed thanks to the biopolution(the diamonds's essences,the formulas made for each gem) left after the gem empire was gone,the monsters that appeared,the ruins left behind,the crystal shrimps..yet is still so smiliar and Earth was able to heal.
This Pink diamond never had to beg for a colony,she never hated herself,she dosen't believe she need to change or wants to.
This White diamond is trying to prove her worth for Yellow diamond and is always wondering if she will ever be enough for Yellow or as good as she should be.
This Yellow diamond had to be responsable for an entire empire for 20.000 years and realeased her stress and worries in unhealthy ways...and this Blue diamond suffered because of it...
She had to endure the screams,the judgment and in rare circumstances even physical abusive.Of course Yellow always loved Blue and that's why she had a "tough love" aprouch to Blue.To Yellow,Blue was too emotional,too sensible,too soft,too weak and too small,the opposite of what a diamond should be.
But this dosent change that at the end,it was still abuse,one that made this Blue diamond different from our Blue diamond,which in a way is reflect by how her main power isn't make other feel what she feels(dispite still being able to do so)but instead be able to feel other gems feelings.
This Blue diamond always felt that she was defective gem,she never felt like part of the other diamonds,she just wanted to have a colony so that could finally belong and prove that she could be as good as the other diamonds dispite her "defectiveness" and make Yellow diamond proud.
Imagine if Rose quartz was from a different species and that she not only she shattered Pink diamond but threaten to exterminate Pink's entire species,her entire world,her people and that somehow Blue was responsable in some way thanks to ignorance of Rose quartz true intentions and had wished so hard for the first domino in the chain of events that would be cause Pink's death.
THAT IS THE SITUATION THAT BLUE DIAMOND FOUND HERSELF.
But instead of a low rebel,it was her fellow diamonds,no wonder this Blue diamond became Ceruleite and started the rebelion.
Which takes me to the last point: Different main themes
If you didn't noticed or saw the backstory in blue diamond/ceruleite model sheet(which i recomend you do)a massacre of her human friend's people is heavily implied,there is a reason that in this universe Atlantis is also a myth.
You see Ceruleite is motivated not just for love but also mainly for grief,for all life of earty that was being destroyed and if you didn't notice by Blue diamond design and the fact the Ceruleite is the gem version of Connie's mom,she is indian coded here(partialy inspired by the old headcanons and designs back in day when we only had her mural and garnet's flashback) and Connie is the main character here,is she who is the first half-gem,not Steven.
Now i may lost some here,but i don't care,race does matter a little bit when writing a character,because there is things you need to pay attention to,especially to avoid stereotypes and tone deaf writing.
Dispite Steven not being white,there is still a massive different weight in an indian girl saving and defending her city,family and friends from an foreign group of people who once tried to invade and destroy her home and kind for the sake of resources,who also deem the indian girl's kind as less,as primitive compared to theirs,who literally called her planet a COLONY.
There is a different weight in an indian coded character making a rebelion to save a planet and species from being colonized by an empire after her local friend was murdered and his people as well thanks to same empire,even if this indian coded character was secretly part of the empire's autority.
Plus with the exception of Peridot and Blue diamond,the main crystal gems had all POC voice actors(jasper,lapis,Blue pearl) and even then Blue diamond voice actor was IRISH who also had similar history of colonization.
You understand why things like this changed the theme of this au? Different from the og series the theme is not abusive families and reconciliation the theme is colonialism and reconciliation,and yes as i said before colonialism didn't happened in this timelime but if anything this makes things worse because now half of Beach city is indigenous and the other half is mixed.
(how? blame Lapis Lazuli!she is the one responsable for acidentally bringing a group of english people plus some other people from other places who were running away from the great war[their equivalent of ww1 and ww2]that was about to start 200 years ago,LUCKLY FOR HER HUMANS WERE TOO BUSY FIGHTING GEM MONSTERS TO INVENT RACISM AND HOMEWORLD KINDA GUARANTEED THAT THE "NEW WORLD" ALWAYS HAD CONTACT WITH THE OLD WORLD BUT LAPIS PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME,THIS COULD HAD END UP PRETTY BAD).
So yeah dispite india in this universe not having colonial trauma,humanity was a whole was still colonized by the gem empire for ~1000 years,even if most of this millenia was a whole war against the gem empire with everything on earth falling apart.
And this kinda changes how certain things are handled,especially the diamonds redemption,i mean Pink and White diamond will still be redeemed but they will become a forced fusion at the end thanks to Yellow Diamond and speaking of Yellow diamond,she will be bubbled here thanks to blue Connie which Yellow not even fought back because: "She's so strong but so weak when it comes to blue"
Even if it is to save her own life,she didn't had the guts to risk shattering Blue after 6.000 years believing that she was gone forever,not after 6.000 years of her blaming herself so much for it.
Not that the envoriment aspect will be ignored,the crystal gems fought for ALL life on earth after all and Ceruleite always loved the oceans's life,its just that they also fought for the humans and with the humans as well(which i will go in more detail in another post).
This just means that there is no longer a human zoo and that the crystal gems dispite still being clueless about a lot of human stuff,they still interact a lot with them across history a lot more compared to the og series.
I'm just saying this to explain why some events will play almost the same,why other will change thanks to cause and effect and natural consequences of having very different characters dealing the same or similar issue,while other events will happen in a totally different way for seemingly "no reason"
This it...that was just what i wanted to say,which was a lot...bye
Proving that i can do a better war of the worlds adaptation than Ice cube:
Now before anything i must admit that these ocs werent made for wotw but instead made for a setting that is inspired by wotw,however i think that it can work as wotw adaptation since the setting is similar enough,the most drastic change would be what is the martians's plan of what they will do with earth and what they would do with humanity.
I was wondering if i should post this since is less of an adaptation and more of a sequel,until i remembered that the Ice cube movie existed and that 90% of the adaptations throw the book's themes out of the window,so why not.
Basically when madeline wokes up,she finds herself in 1993,in a martian colonized United States where calling humans second class citzens in the martian empire would be a euphemism,she is taken under the care of a small human scarvenger city,they basically take the massive eletronic waste of their overlords and they either fix it or use it to make wonders of engineering that are pretty much hold together with duct tape,but hey it works and that's all that matters,i think that would be interesting and tragic if the main girls(actually the city in general) dealt with their opression while just living their lifes normally since this is just friday to them and they were born after martian ocupation while madeline, that was pretty much at the top of the hierarchy before her sleep,is freaking out, struggling to adapt and acidentally putting herself in dangerous situations sometimes out of naivety...i mean she is just a 8 year old and there is just too much information for her to process,just like pomni from tadc in episode 1.
Continuing this idea i think that would be interesting to this human city,that is basically the audience/Madeline main source of information of how is human societies now,to be nothing like what the artilleryman was planning(not only because there is no big sewer system in united states and they dont live underground):
●Emily's father and now Madeline's adoptive father as well has albinism,and he would be basically blind if it wasn't the big,heavy and clunky glasses he has(thanks to a misture of steampunk and martian technology),in other words is not just the "Able-bodied" who live there.
●Now in case that the existence of Tasha and Nicole didn't make it more obivious,but this is not a white only city nor a segragated one(Emily is an daughter of a interracial marriege for example).
(The best way i can explain how racism works in this version of "united states" in the 90's is TOTALLY POLARIZED,one side has a 90's mindset of race and the other has an 40's one with a little dose of self depreciation since the martians CRUSHED a certain human population self esteem)
Continuing,needless to say that this city is in the 90's half,an collateral effect non intentional of conquering the biggest and the smallest nations of earth,they are more worried to save their own species than their race...actually they dont even try,what is the point to perform to an empty theater?they will never be able to be civilized now anyway to their overlords eyes,if they are doomed to be an "inferior" just for being humans than why not fully embrace it?they will never be able to be as big as their empires and nations were once besides the survival of their species depends of they taking caring of eachother,yeah the 40's half of the american population could not disagree less,lucky they don't live close to a human city like that.
●Dispite they being a scarvenger city,they weren't able to reverse engineer martian technology,no human did actually,so no humans piloting the heat rays machine,besides if a human dared to kill a martian,they would reteliate by killing that human's entire city.
●They see the scarvenging or better saying what they do with what they scarvenge as a form of art,at least the ones with the most pride in being human,yes humans still do art with the materials they have in hand,nicole likes to draw,who could have seeing that coming? its not like we did that since stone age...
●...and they are happy,dispite everything,dispite the suffering,dispite the fear,they never knew anything else,they were born into this life,their city its not perfect far from it but they have eachother,they know what they suffer is unfair,that the martians took everything from humanity and still dares to ask for more,but there is not much that they can do so they try to live the best lives that they possible can,the game is rigged but they will resist by not just surviving but also living and rebelling it by not letting the martians take their joy.
Maybe someday Madeline will be able to find happiness in her new home,Emily believes so but for now she and her friends will be there for her new sister.
●Also and most important...humans being considering "harmeless vermin" dont save them from the martians sadism.
Amethyst in this universe was not found by the crystal gems,instead she was found by Squaredot after thousands of years of isolation and desperating wishing to not be alone,it didn't take much convincing from squaredot to convice Amethyst to deal with the pesky crystal gems who are messing with her job and to be part of homeworld where she truly belong and never would be alone again.
She first decides to get close to Connie to know their weakness and to be able to attack the crystal gems when they less expect.
She also told information that she founds that it could be important.
With her amazing skill in shapeshifiting she was able to face the crystal gems one by one and cause many problems in beach city,it took convincing from Connie to make her stop,because dispite their relationship having started with lies Amethyst genuinely saw connie's as a friend.
However the demage was alredy done,because a day before Amethyst attack,she ended up telling that connie was a Ceruleite which made Squaredot's supervisor(olivine) realize that they werent just regular rebels but instead were the original crystal gems,which made a simple mission escalate a lot and after amethyst stoped answering to squaredot's calls Olivine presumed the worse.

In this universe ruby and Sapphire never became part of the crystal gems but that didn't stop the two from finding out that they loved each other and eventually they fused into garnet,since in homeworld fusion of different gems its forbidden,garnet had to pretend for thousands of years, that she wasnt a fusion but instead just a regular red garnet and work in the functions of one and everything was working perfectly until she was send to earth to arrest a small but powerful group of rebels that squaredot and amethyst had notified(since one of the jobs of a red garnet its to deal with rebellions and uprisings).
She never could had guessed that her life would change forever once she arrives on earth
Along side garnet,there is her loyal,submissive and obedient pearl,that connie will in the future call her iris from iridescent,as a way to differenciate bettween her pearl and homeworld pearl,different from our original pearl she never had the opportunity to become her own gem or even to belong to the gem she had a crush on,since in this universe pink diamond never broke pink pearl,pearl still has a crush on pink diamond dispite she knowing very well its a unrealistic dream,pearl was the only gem to know that garnet was a fusion.
But maybe after having an truce with the crystal gems and passing enough time with blue pearl,she will start to act more like the pearl we know and love.
Both gems are from white diamond's court since blue diamond was shattered
The crystal gems didn't fought gem monsters all the time,sometimes they had fun and sometimes they visited places and sometimes they met humans and sometimes they even became friends.
One of these cases was in the XV centrury,when pearl,peridot and lapis became friends with Leonardo da Vinci,the three would usually visit him once and a while.
It didn't take long for history to call them the mysterious ladies of da vince
Men these three used to be such a trio....to bad things changed when Ceruleite was gone
I wonder how pearl feels for being basically the child of a divorce bettween lapis and peridot
Here is an art of them in the XV centrury europe(i headcanon that the crystal gems change their clothes conform the country they are in)except lapis since she is lazy

Ceruleite,leader of the crystal gems and former ruler of homeworld
Different from rose quartz,her flower is a white lily and her main symbols shells and ocean waves
Ceruleite would be Priyanka Maheswaran's counterpart in this au
She is also less impulsive,spoiled and playeful than pink being more studious,reserved,emotionally messy and a little more haughty as well
And just like pink diamond she had a...complicated relationship with the diamonds since she is considering almost a off color for her tiny size and being too emotional for what yellow deems as worth of a diamond
It was a just when she recieve earth that blue had hopes that she would finally belong among them and finally prove that she is not defective,that she can be good as diamond like the other ones are
and the rest..well i will leave the tale of mournful ceruleite down here but warning its a big text!
The tale of a mournful ceruleite
There was once a tale of a ceruleite that was made with a mission of recording the happenings of her diamond's first colony,a mark for gem history
but on a fateful day she and her loyal pearl by acident found themselves among the beauty of the nature of earth and then they found a human being,such a sight made ceruleite speechless,how could a organic being look so much like a gem?how a organic being could even speak it is impossible yet there it was,and the human was curious about the gems as well,how bad they knew that would be just the first of many meetings that would have.
Curiosity turned to appreciation
Appreciation turned to fondness
And fondness even turned to love
But one day the human's people found out about the effects of gem settlements on earth and their lives,the human unable to keep their findings any longer,begged for ceruleite and her pearl to do something,anything,and something they did.
soon ceruleite started sharing her records of her time on earth,she told the gems about earth's life,its beauty,its creatures,its people, ceruleite knew she could get in trouble for revealing that she secretly run away from her duties
but wasn't the purpose of a ceruleite to record and retell all the important events of homeworld's history? And isn't gemkind first contact with inteligent life an event worth recording?She belived it was it!
in little to no time the word of a ceruleite's odd adventures reached its way to blue Diamond.
Ceruleite was summoned at once
"Ceruleite" began blue diamond
"What in the stars names have you been saying down there?"
"Oh my diamond" ceruleite plead
"It has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, not only bears unique and beautiful life forms but it also bears inteligent life as well. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose and that there is only one way to reproduce our kind and attend our people needs, the universe is big and generous with resources! there is no necessity to colonize this planet in specific, so I ask humbly that we leave this planet and spare their lives."
Blue Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed; a wicked, empty sound.
"You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own time? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your duties, and I will forget your insolence."
Ceruleite tried to insist more but she coudn't,she had tried to do everything to solve things peacefully,but she just didn't had the power to do so,she tried to think on something,anything but unfortunly homeworld didn't wait for her.
the colony would be done,terraforming and extraction would happen and if something had to be murdered in order to acomplish this... then so it'll be.
And in little to no time love was...turned into grief,an endless,deep and rageful grief.
ceruleite could no longer stand to continue watching the destruction of Earth without doing something.no with her tears burning though her skin.She had no choice. She had to fight and with her pearl at her side,she started the biggest rebellion of all gem history.
Ceruleite's message began to resonate, to blue Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, pink and white, to help.
But ceruleite also found herself with allies,humans who wished to protect their homes and other Gems that were cast out for being wrong:
a Pearl who belonged to no one... a lapis lazuli who used water not to destroy life but to protect it
An jasper who was discarded for being chipped
an nephrite who didn't pilot ships to aid the colony but to destroy it once and for all
And countless others, all inspired by ceruleite to live for themselves on Earth.
She was their leader. And Earth was their precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as... the Crystal Gems!
It was an impossible fight, but they fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw them, the more who joined. But blue Diamond's forces proved too strong. Ceruleite feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect.
so ceruleite drew her rebel blade... and shattered blue Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror.
The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth, and in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all.
But the story didn't end there, even in so much grief,she and the crystal gems who remained continued in the their sacred duty to earth,ceruleite heart may never heal but that dosent meant that earth coudn't be healed different from her.
