You know, I've never really been a fan of modern AUs. I'll read them but usually only after I've scraped the barrel for my preferred fic. But lately the idea of a modern!BlackJade has been plaguing me (I've been editing my current wip chapter for a few days straight and my brain always starts drifting to AUs or completely different fics when I do this)
Ideas started flowing, I'm tempted to try to write a oneshot but that's a dangerous game. So maybe just some art and a short summery? idk.
Also I don't think there's much demand for cannon/original characters in modern AUs because I've literally never seen one of those lol.
I saw a Black Jade among your GemsonaS can you fuse her with Amethyst, could be anyone from the Crystal Gems to the Famethyst?
Yeah I don't see why not!
Black Moonstone!!
She's witchy, and her cape/shawl doubles as arms! I actually quite like this design lol, so, thank you!
Here is a very, very oversimplified rendition of Fang of the Earth, the guandao Tang wields in the Golden Dragon Tang AU.
(Please excuse the terrible quality of my phone camera.)
Fang of the Earth (Dàdì Zhī Yá) was granted to Tang's ancestors by Huánglóng. Like the Dragon Blade, it has the appearance of being made entirely of different types of Jade.
The blade is made of Yellow Jade to match the scales of its creator. Yellow Jade Represents cheerfulness and joy. It heightens assimilation and comprehension. Please pretend the swirls on the blade are a darker shade of yellow. They are supposed to represent clouds over the mountains as well as being an opposite parallel to the geometric designs on the Dragon Blade.
The shaft is made of Brown Jade. Brown Jade helps with grounding the mind and strengthens your connection with the Earth. It creates comfort and a sense of reliability.
The connector for the blade and shaft as well as the capstone at the end of the shaft are Black Jade. Black Jade is the color of immortality. It emanates strong, protective energies to ward off negative assault, physical or psychological, including self limitation.
The tassel hanging from the connector is made of royal purple thread to represent wealth and royalty.
Fang of the Earth, being made entirely of stone, is extremely heavy. It can only be wielded by those of the Huánglóng bloodline that prove themselves worth. To do so, the member must prove they understand that knowledge should be free to anyone who seeks it. After they do, they won't feel the weight of the guandao and will even be able to summon it to them if they have a free hand.
If anyone wants to take a crack at making a nicer rendition of Fang of the Earth feel free!
