Peridot and specially Lapis do not trust the racoons.
Specifically chose this angle so I don't draw feet. _(:,3」∠)_
Mi own connverse kids Ebony and Rohini are there! And technically Sakura and Zachary. (Please until now I don't know what else to name them. 😭)
And sorry the older Maheswarans aren't there. I don't know where to put them and I already had character overload. 😞
Hibiscus print on Bismuth's shirt is from ManMadeOfGold!
Speaking of shirt, another thing I avoided was thinking of their outfit designs. 😅 It's somewhere a little over a decade of timeskip since SU:Future and I'm sure at least one or two would've reformed during the time. So I'm gonna say they wanted to keep the vibe of a casual outdoors picnic-type event so they wore the casual themes.
Would connverse kid(s) be given any sword training or self-defense (despite era-3 being more peaceful)?
Sorry in advance, I could not English right now. Hope I'm understandable at least. 😅
With my connverse kids, Ebony would be very interested in Gem stuff and going around different places and planets. Apart from hostile environments, there are still rouge and corrupted gems out there though. Best to know combat.
Rohini really likes swordfighting, but she mainly have used it to compete athletically. Sometimes it's useful when she tags along Ebony.
/Sakura/* saw her older siblings their swords, and she just thinks fencing is fancy. 🤷♀️ Whether she'll get over it or not, I don't know yet. Haha
/Zachary/* would not be interested with swordfighting at all.
*Sorry, STILL don't know what to officially name the twins. 😅
Also, can I use Steven's healing ability as an excuse for him and Connie still looking younger than their age and hide my inability to depict age? 🥺
Although I barely make content for my connverse kids, there is a series of headcanons it's storyline follows so might as well jot it down. ¯\( •́ ͜ʖ •̀ )/¯
I headcanon that Steven isn't really immortal and that the Pink Diamond Gem will become an heirloom of sorts.
I headcanon that each of the Diamonds is some kind of representation or parallel to what forms the Universe. I don't know what the others could be, but Pink is the organic parts. Organic creatures, specially the sentient/sapient kind, is a rarity in the vast ocean of space, which was why she's the smallest.
Her affiliation to organics made her much more sympathetic and fascinated with them, and she was captivated with humans the most.
Eventually, after living with them and her envy and wonder for them grew, she had the desire to be one. Or rather, something deep in her gem wanted to.
While she can make a baby without giving up her form, she chose to sacrifice herself so the gem can be passed down to Steven.
However, as Pink/Rose and Greg are different species, there had been an inconvenience. The offspring exists, but the gem and organic connection is imperfect and unstable.* The gem needs to develop it's connection to the physical body more.
This can be done by letting the body naturally learn to adapt to the gem/magic, then passing both the gem and the DNA (with that learned knowledge) down to the next generation; who's physically more capable of hosting the diamond. The result is not instantaneous so it's going to take a number of generations before the gem and body becomes perfectly fused. (Slow burn route, babyyyy)
Passing down the gem can be done in two ways.
One is the natural way: by giving birth to the child with the gem intact. Of course, this will cause the parent to die. (There miiight be a chance they will still live despite now not having a gem, if they have the technology for it. But it can get trickier down the line as the body and gem becomes more connected.)
The alternate instance the gem can be passed down is when the current keeper becomes deceased and their "Pink Form" (like the Pink Steven in Change Your Mind) appears. They will guard the gem until a progeny claims it. There's a possibility the gem rejects the new body though.
There's a cool down after the gem is passed down. Of course, that and how mentally ready the person is can affect how long the cool down lasts. (Which was why Steven's gem powers didn't come out sooner.)
I was thinking about when you inherit the gem in the second way, how part of the cool down works is that you can still see the prior host as an apparition others can't see. They can talk to you and stuff. (Guide you? Torment you? Be your friend? Idk) But they can't really interact with anything else. They disappear when the new host (keeper?) is fully mentally ready to take in the gem.
*I was wondering also. Either conveniently or by design, Steven has a positive disposition as a lower morale can disrupt the gem's balanced state. Unfortunately for our boi, he's the first meat host, so he has to learn how to keep a stable mind the hardest. 😞
Do your Connverse kiddos fight at all, or are they all pretty close to one another? Personally, I think Rohini probably wouldn't get along with her siblings, but that may just be me projecting based off my own kiddo headcanons.
Haha kinda with Rohini, though she mostly bickers with just Zachary, but it never gotten too serious. Other than that, there's the sibling rivalry here and there. (I mean at least so far, lol)
*inserts doodle I made that I dunno what to do with but kinda relates to the topic. Trying upper angle without reference practice.*
Ebony gets along pretty well with all of the siblings, usually acts as a mediator among them.
Rohini idolizes Ebony. Had that classic phase of younger sibling copying the older sibling. And although Rohini and Zachary have their squabbles, and she could not relate to Sakura's very feminine and vain ways, she's quite protective of them both.
The twins also look up to the Ebony, but they're relatively closer to Rohini, specially with the former started frequently going out on Gem adventure.. traveling stuff.
Basically, that's their fight to peace.. sibling meter... I dunno what's the actually term it is. ( ꈨຶ ˙̫̮ ꈨຶ ) They all generally get along fairly well and if there's fighting, it's expected to be Rohini and Zachary.
I think your Connverse kid ages confuse me a little bit. Do you have any sorta timeline for when they're born? It seems like Ebony is a lot older than her siblings haha. Did Steven and Connie wait, like, 4 or 5 years before having Rohini? And considering Rohini's beefing with Zachary, I'm guessing the twins ain't much younger than her.
Connie's pregnancy with Ebony didn't go quiet swimmingly, and they thought it's safer to just not go for another until they accidentally had Rohini after around 6-7 years. And they were like, wow that actually wasn't so bad this time.* So they tried another after 2-3 years.
*Something about Connie's body getting more familiar with magic literaly in her system the longer she spent with Steven, in addition to microchimerism through each pregnancy; which made accommodating an alien babey in her womb easier and easier.
[EDIT] Age difference retconned! There is only a 2/3 year difference between Ebony and Rohini. While there is a wider gap from Rohini to the twins.
Other info is still true. Pregnancy with Ebony was hard. Rohini was still unplanned but surprisingly easier than Ebony's. Though they did still try not to get pregnant then. They only figured out how not to after. So there was a wider gap from her to the twins. Effects of microchimerism is still true.
Rohini and Zachary just fight more.. well more often than between the others at least, because the other two are significantly less reactive to quips and sass.
Ah I forgot I made this last October.
Patreon request for connverse family photo (with middle-aged Connie and Steven and adult kiddos) requested by Connversin!
Ebony and Sakura(?)'s faces (the two above Lion) didn't turn out the way that I wanted to look, but overall with my record, not bad for something I drew under three hours. lol
Do any of your conniverse kids have powers? Also they're all to die for! Sweet angel babies really 🥺
(Was hoping to be able to draw something for this ask, but that might take a while. 😅 So just using the most recent clear drawings of the kids.)
They do indeed have powers, I just hadn't actually gotten to be that detailed about it. haha Developing my OCs is something I'm bad at. orz
Ebony, though being the eldest, has the least variety of magic, and it's practically just, like, boosts. (e.g: enhanced strength) But she is the most resourceful one. She's also the most involved with Gem stuff because of her fascination with it, so she knows a lot of tricks under her sleeves.
Rohini, middle child, can adjust her gravitational weight. (If I'm using the term correctly.) Can summon a weapon without a gem, and can self heal and recover fast. Can't heal others though.
Excuse his language he's not really the serious and is not the most impatient one of the siblings. He's just unintentionally sassy sometimes.
The twins whom I temporarily call 'Sakura' and 'Zachary'. (It's been around three years and I still couldn't decide a settled name for them. ;-; ) Has the most variety of powers exhibited among the siblings. But tbh they preferred the causality with their lives so they mostly used their magic for aesthetic. lol
All of them can bubble.
---------
Second timeline has another (and just) Ebony.
Bubble, healing, astral project. How much else of the powers inherited from dad and if there are new different ones, is yet to be known.
