So basically this has been running around in the back of my head, and going to fully explore it here today:
There seems to be a relative pattern with how gems look, at least thus far with the characters we know. First and foremost we have the tumbled gems like Lapis Lazuli, Peridot and Pearl. All of them are smooth and rounded in some way, just like the more common gems you would find in a store.
Lapis Lazuli, Peridot and Pearl are all non-combative gems, they seem to have less to do with fighting and more of their specialty. Lapis controls water, and seems to have no physical weapon. Peridot almost seems to have a control on magnetism and uses their floating fingers for most of their combat. They seem completely new to combat in general. Pearl’s lyrics:
Deep down you know
You weren't built for fighting
But that doesn't mean
You're not prepared to try
With that and the way she refers to herself as just a Pearl and other comments seems to denote a service class.
Then there are the cut gems, those that seem purposely cut like we tend to do with more valuable gems. These have their own categories, from triangle cut like sapphire’s gem, to square cut gems like ruby’s gem, to pentagon cut gems like Steven’s/Rose’s gem, to hexagon cut gem’s like amethyst’s gem and then the odd ball cut of Jasper’s being pyramid.
Sapphire, Ruby, Amethyst are all faceted and cut gems. They all have the similar shape of round with different amount of sides to the facet. So the respective shapes it makes in the center I will refer to. My first impression was that the number of sides denoted more power. Then I noted that Rose Quartz’s and Steven’s gem are a pentagon compared to Amethyst’s hexagon. Now I begin to wonder if its just different classes and positions for each different shape. Perhaps Diamond actually refers to the type of cut, or position rather then the actual type of gem.
Last we have only seen from corrupted and captured gems, natural and unnatural gem states. First and most obvious would be Centipeedle, and their strange gem form. Other gems captured have other unusual shapes and man-made shaped like Bismuth. The rest are mostly quartz points and natural formations of crystals.
Do corrupted gems take particular forms?
So, I think that there might be a type of ritual or coming of age thing for gems where they get cut/shaped. The idea of which honestly gave me chills at first, but I can’t fathom how gems would be grown but look exquisitely cut. Maybe corruption happened when grown gems where coming out of Kindergarden, before they go through the ceremony of getting cut.
As a person who hasn't watched any pokemon animations/animes, who is amber?
(I literally only know about mewtwo and mew from the games)
Ambertwo is the cloned daughter of Dr Fuji, the man who made Mewtwo in the first movie. there was ten minutes cut from the movie about Mewtwo as a child talking to her in his subconscious, along with clones of the starter pokemon
sadly they weren't stable enough to survive and one by one they all died in front of him, when Amber went he was getting so upset the scientists had to wipe his memories of them
Realized I hadn't announced this here. I'm the Story Editor on Avatar: Seven Havens! (for non-animation industry folks, Story Editor is the lead writer under the showrunners).
Heads up to anyone following me from previous work like Trollhunters or Star Trek: Prodigy: this tumblr is gonna be sharing more Avatar stuff, especially as we now have our official first art! This is Avatar Pavi, her cat-monkey Geet, and her friend and sorta-mentor Jae. The city behind her is called Ellora. We're deep in production and it's looking spectacular.
it's shit i didn't even register before transitioning too. i went out with my friends to a diner yesterday, one is a girl and the other gets clocked as a girl, and when we went in and they asked for the name of the table they asked Me specifically. like looked dead in my eyes and asked Me. i was addressed when it orders and payment first as well. like. Damn. Okay. Shit
Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and Yáo the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.
Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.
Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.
In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt
