With Your Green Palm in Mine completed, I hope y'all enjoy this last ask bomb! I tried to get to most of y'all.
I received a lotttt of asks wondering if the YGPIM trio would meet the canon characters! So this bomb focuses primarily on that.
Q: Did they meet/do they ever meet Steven?
A: Nope! Steven is long gone on his road trip post-future. Lapis is entirely uninterested. Lily and Peridot's interest's are piqued from a science perspective, but they don't care enough to go out of their way to meet him.
@goner-guy @stargarnet-aka-tanzanite
You can see them reunite with the other Rose Quartzes in Part 83.
@various--fandoms
This is an umbrella question! I'll give general answers here, but scroll down to see more in depth answers on specific dynamics.
I don't see any of them getting close... I really do not like messing with canon characters, it feels? Almost sacrilegious to me. I don't care when others do it, I just don't like doing it myself.
Any dynamic not listed means it would be neutral/nothing meaty to dive into!
Get along well:
Lapis and Bismuth
Lapis and Amethyst
Peridot and Pearl (early on)
Peridot and Peridot
Lily would be good with everyone if not for the fact they would be very weird around her. See: Rose Buds
Agate would get along with everyone, but especially Garnet
Get along poorly:
Peridot and Pearl (later on)
I don't think most gems could tolerate Lapis very much.
HmmM... Interesting question, and theory. In my mind, CG Peridot has resolved most of her body issues by future. I'd like to think it wouldn't bother her. If anything, I could see a Peridot seceeding and being a rebel before her getting under her skin more than height, if at all. She seems pretty confident these days!
@ihavebigsharpteethwhenismile
Be careful for what you wish for.
Yes, that'll come.
@theblazingdracon-2001
Lily and Rose would get along well!
They would not give a singular damn about camp pining hearts lmfao
Ehhhhh idk! I probably will only draw the dynamics that interest me, if any. There's only a couple of those.
No <3 Peridot doesn't give a damn about Jasper.
@steakandpeanutbuttersandwiches
Q: What do Agate and Garnet's interactions and dynamic look like, if any?
A: Agate is glad to meet other gems like her- I don't think the YGPIM trio would be very interested in Little Homeschool, as they have figured themselves out already, but Agate would likely enjoy the networking and social aspect of it. I Think Agate would get along with Garnet, but I doubt she'd stay on Earth long enough to become friends.
Thanks for the Questions! Stay tuned for the next Ask Bomb!
*Theres the telltale sound of hoves outside. Getting closer, then, they stop. Hesitate. The handle of the door is messed with like whoever is trying to get in can't hold their grip.*
*Before, after a lot of struggling, Doc enters. Blood drips down from his waist, hands slick.*
Bomb... are you okay..? One tried running here- I- I got nervous.
- @ask-docm77
Doc..why- ...why are you here? Shouldnt- ..yoy be fighting? Are you okay..?
*Bomb looks in the direction he hears Doc's voice, the blindfold still on his eyes. He has a small bit of blood dripping frkm the corner of his mouth and some from his leg, but overall he looks better than Doc does..although internally not so much*
Bomb screams. He screams like he never has before. His hair grows long and fiery red, his eyes turn pure white and they glow. His screams reach the gods. The same ones he knows. The same group of gods he is one of. The scream is so loud, it's shattering sections of the void. A blast of light admits from Bomb's body, shoving all the Watchers off of him and making them fade out.
(fic as to what happned here )
-💣
*Moon immediately looks up from where she is sitting. That sound isn't right. The balance of everything is off.*
*Who made that noise? Her mind flies through the gods she know, the ones that would let her hear their call. Artemis? Io? Isis? No, not them.*
*Wait, there was something else in the scream. A hint of red and purple light. The smell of a fox.*
*It was Bomb.*
*Moon vanishes from her spot in the physical world. Her mind flickers between all of the worlds she has access too, looking for Bomb's presence. Was that it?
*She finally finds it and locks her mind on that location, trying her best to make a physical form in that location. She flickers in and out of view as she battles the void.*
Ask Bomb for Albert helping a reader who can’t sleep?
Albert would always make sure you were as comfortable as possible whether that be with his arms wrapped around you or with you laying your head on his chest. He would remind you to listen to his heartbeat and let that lull you to sleep. On nights you were having trouble getting to bed, he would stay awake until he could hear your steady breathing indicating you were sleeping.
Right of the bat, I'm going to address the by-far most asked question.
In relation to any form of a Lapis fusion related questions:
Nope! The answer is nope. To all of them.
Lapis has no desire to fuse.
Not one bit.
"But what about hypothetically?" No, I don’t know what those fusions would hypothetically look like, as I don’t think about it. I know I designed a Lapis x Lily fusion (Iolite), but I have since deeply regretted doing so due to the sheer amount of people asking for other hypothetical fusions.
I have been asked this over a hundred times over the course of YGPIM. Please stop asking me. It’s not happening, and would made for a far worse, gimmicky story. If you’d like to read up on why I made this narrative decision, go here.
With that out of the way, onto the other asks!
Hm.... You see, the first two chapters of YGPIM are not conducive to the tapas/webtoons format. I do intend to make a PDF of the whole thing, and that may be better for that... But who knows! We'll see.
I hold your hands oh so gently when I say this:
Peridot was taking those creatures because their planets were dying.
They are all dead.
Her pets are all that remains of countless planets that were turned into gem colonies.
@tirucalli
Q: How does Lily (and/or Peri) feel about the whole Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond debacle?
A: They've got a lot of mixed feelings on the topic. Learning that Lily was made to be bubbled was a massive blow to both of them. Peridot was already mad that the rebellion lead to Lily being bubbled- but, she always chalked it up to chance. Something seemed fishy, sure, but she couldn't exactly investigate further. She appreciated that gems like her tried to be free by starting the rebellion, but she always thought it was a doomed to fail attempt, that ended with her love locked up.
But now? She's infinitely more angry. There was never a world where this didn't happen to Lily. It wasn't chance, it was by design.
...However.
In the same breath, She deeply adores organics. She understands why Pink/Rose did it. She's probably a little sentimental that Lily's true intended purpose was to save life, not end it. She's happy Lily exists at all.
But she's pissed.
As for Lily... she has similar feelings to Peridot, but her anger is directed on behalf of her sisters being innocent victims in this mess. On top of all that, (as mentioned in the comic) she had already rejected her perceived purpose, so it wasn't difficult to reject another, (being a sacrifice).
She's happy to exist.
She's happy the Earth is still around.
She's not happy she was put in the crossfire.
I'm so honored Chekhov reblogged way back then, so many wonderful folks started reading here on tumblr because of them! For those (somehow) unaware, go read @ask-whitepearl-and-steven if you haven't already! It's massive and my favorite SU comic. It's extraordinarily well done!
As for my pebblesona... hm. No, because my pebblesona made YGPIM. That's right. Those 3 rocks are in her brain. Fic in a fic >:3
Intense cuteness aggression. Wants to eat them all up.
@echo-the-cindwu
This has more focus on me/logistics of this account and the making of the comic!
You can't kill me yet. I went somewhat into the future of my work here. But, in short, anytime I draw the rocks or want to post steven universe related stuff, I will do so here. I will be more active on my main, @thefaeriemerchant . I have quite a few illustrations and mini comics planned, then after that... Bracelets.
Every comic has a different difficulty level/different needs. But, on average, I could complete 3 pages in 2 days, if I was really cranking them out. (pages, not parts.) It was hard work and my life was sorely unbalanced. All I did was draw for a long, long time. I do not reccommend.
You are not mistaken! Original work title forthcoming. The YGPIM gems are expies of those characters, Aela (Lily), Linh (Peridot), and Tayo (Lapis). I cannot get into it here... but eventually when I start posting art of it it'll be over on my main, @thefaeriemerchant
As for your other question, YGPIM follows the canon timeline. :]
@ashilihex
Highlighted the question so readers don't get lost in your lovely paragraph of compliments!
Honest to god, YGPIM's "pre-production" was like... 3 or 4 days long. Not ideal, but keep in mind, up until this point, I was a notoriously slow artist who never completed jack fuck. Your Green Palm in Mine was supposed to be a cute little tiny project with no standards to fill the void of my mental health... so yeah, I rushed it, in hopes that would prevent me from giving up. The plot is incredibly simple so it was overall, easy to write and draft. I wrote each chapter/chunk before drawing it, and made changes and revisions as needed. As the story grew, so did it's depth, and I tried to touch on those topics when I could. Some ideas, like Peri braiding Lily's hair, were very last minute.
I drew like... 2.5 pieces of concept art, a page of traditional sketches, and created 2 low res turnarounds for Peri and Lily.
I then wrote most of chapter one, wrote any future notes/ideas I could, had a list of random quotes I wanted to include in chapter 2, and immediately started drawing.
The title of "Your Green Palm in Mine," came to me after drawing and writing part 5, where Lily compliment's Peridot's hands. Before then, the working title was "Dotted Rose."
Thank you so much! Happy to say, I have not received any anon hate thus far. I have a pretty wonderful community!
Thank you for your support, and happy day to you, dear anon!
That is all,
Dantés
This is my fault I let them get to me I let them control me it wasn't me I didn't mean to make it worse for you!!
It's my fault. I'm so sorry, I wasn't talking, they were. I ruined everything for you and I know you never want to talk to me again. I betrayed you, but I'm sorry, okay, it wasn't me, but it's still my fault. I'm sorry -💣
(Not pictured: Bomb falling to his knees next to Etho, not bothering to hide his bloody and torn crow wings despite still having his fox ears and tail)

I- I'm sorry. I did this to- to everyone. To you. To him.
