How do all of the slashers sleep with their s/o’s? ( this can be headcanons or whatever I don’t mind 👍)
it depends on what you mean by sleep.... if you get any.
WARNINGS : foul language, staring (art ofc), mentions of isolation, Brahms having mommy issues, and slightly suggestive content.
CHARACTERS : Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Bubba Sawyer, Brahms, Art the clown, Doomhead (31), Pearl, Tiffany and Chucky (poly (human forms)), and Carrie White!
let's get this shit on the road 🗣️‼️
JASON VOORHEES:
- usually he's on duty making sure the camp is safe. no trespassers tonight.
- you'd have to convinced him to come to bed. he's reluctant but agrees fairly quickly. any excuse to hold you is a good excuse.
- BIG cuddler.
- doesn't mind being the little spoon despite the size difference!
- as soon and you've turned away from him after he was so comfortable in spooning position he'll turn you right back to tuck you in his side.
- hardly sleeps (he doesn't really need it) but he's content with laying with you.
- when the sun rises he's back on patrol but he leaves you with the blankets wrapped securely around you.
MICHAEL MYERS:
- sleeps like a fucking corpse...
- you don't know if this man is alive or dead with his steady shallow breathing.
- he's a light sleeper. one and subtle movements and now he's up.
- allows you to cuddle near him but he'll be stiff and a board.
- he's so awkward with cuddling. give him time. (a lot of time...)
- if you're a deep sleeper he'd secretly lay on your chest just to hear your heart beat.
- when you wake up you could have sworn he laid on top of you. it's not like he'll confirm or deny. he'll just stare at you then walk away.
BUBBA SAWYER:
- my sweet cutie patootie just wants to be held.
- he WILL be little spoon. argue with ya mama.
- he's never really experienced cuddling but if you offer he'll never turn it down.
- he's so happy you can practically feel it radiating off of him.
- don't let that big man fool you! HE IS A SWEETIE PIE.
- If you want to be held he'll most definitely indulge. for a while until he's back laying on your chest with his legs intertwined with yours.
BRAHMS HELLSHIRE:
- where yo mama at bruh 😭
- you cannot get this cling bot off of you no matter how hard you try.
- he will cling to you like Mr. Crabs to his favorite dollar.
- he's always under you in some way shape or form.
- if you're AFAB or have any sort of chest... he grabbing it.
- this stinky man is the type to never be big spoon. he will always be little spoon.
- if you refuse he will be petty and go back in the walls.
- bonus points if he's extra petty and does stuff to disturb your sleep.
ART THE CLOWN:
- who you foolin by telling me this man actually sleeps?
- he will stay up and watch you sleep. silently mocking how you slob on the pillow and snore.
- sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night to see this mf squatting over you burrowing holes into your face.
- he WILL scare you awake if he feels like you've been sleeping too long.
- on a calm night he might actually lay beside you. he won't cuddle you but at least he's not doing anything... which you should most definitely be concerned about btw.
DOOMHEAD:
- he may be a freaky lil perv but he's a great cuddler.
- you'll end up sprawled out together in the wildest positions imaginable. but it's comfortable.
- he's the type to think if you sleep half naked or come to bed in less than you usually do it means his getting some tonight. (NOT)
- has to has his hands on you in some way for him to be sane enough to sleep.
- will use your thighs, stomach, sides, ass, or breast (for the people who have them) as a stress ball.
- If he had a stressful night all he want to do is lay between your thighs to ground himself.
PEARL:
- bless this poor girl.
- she is clingy and for all good reasons. she just doesn't want you to leave her.
- after the first time you've cuddled up together she doesn't want to sleep any other way.
- she'll always seek out your warmth in her sleep even if you're at work or doing something.
- she wears your shirts. using your scent to lull herself to sleep.
- her body migrates to you when you return to bed. immediately snuggling into your side or shifting until she's laying on top of you.
TIFFANY & CHUCKY:
- these two are chaotic sleepers.
- Tiffany on one hand likes for you to lay on her chest while Charles likes to big spoon.
- before bed he's always making lewd innuendos while humping your ass. you and Tiffany did hit him. it may have stopped the humping but it doesn't detour him.
- both likes switch positions. it's never the same one every night.
- if their both up and want a little something something you're in for a rude (good) awakening.
CARRIE WHITE:
- another one of my babies who just wants to be held.
- it doesn't matter which way as long as you hold her.
- she's happy everytime physical contact is Intitated.
- when you aren't around she holds and rocks herself to sleep. she feels so lonely in her room without you there.
- when she wakes up she stays in her spot. just admiring your features from her position in your arms.
- she feels safe and loved in your embrace and she wouldn't have it any other way.
CW: Sexual innuendos with machinery, technically nothing NSFW by our standards but NSFW by robot standards, probably ooc for Pearl, Pearl x Fem! Reader
What if Reader accidentally turned Pearl on by plugging a cable into an outlet, since that is pretty much like sex to machines? Pearl looks over to see Reader sticking in a plug and although she isn’t doing anything sexual by our standards, Pearl is just buffering at the sight.
It’s the same when Reader charges her phone too. When she sticks that charger into the phone’s opening, Pearl is bluescreening cuz she thinks Reader wants to do that with her. It’s like Reader doing the “finger in hole” motion with her hands, only it’s with wires and it can make any robot, android or cyborg overheat.

Summary: The love languages of the crystal gems
✮`,— GARNET .ᐟ.ᐟ
Gift giving - Garnet loves seeing your face when she brings something back from a mission. Goes out of her way to find something pretty enough but isn’t overly important to the space, (Like that hourglass) gladly ignores Amethyst's teasing to find that perfect item. And has built you a shelf just for all her gifts.
Close second is: Acts of service
EXTRA RUBY AND SAPPHIRE |
✮`,— RUBY .ᐟ.ᐟ
Physical touch - You can’t tell me this isn’t her love language, loves constantly having a hand somewhere on you, she’s finding some way to be touching you. This does mean she will try to cuddle you whenever she can, because she will either wrap herself around you (or wherever she can reach) or you’ll engulf her, she’s content either way. Will look embarrassed and flustered when you pick her up but don’t be fooled, she loves it. You’re showing off your strength and holding her? Count her in.
✮`,— SAPPHIRE .ᐟ.ᐟ
Words of affirmation - She always seems to know the right words to say to you, you don’t know how she does it and she never tells you. And always seems to know when you need those words. She comes by at the perfect time before laying a gloved hand on your shoulder or back, then says the words you need to hear. But she also loves teasing you, the amount of times she’ll gesture for you to step closer or lean down then say something to fluster you, is insane.
✮`,— AMETHYST .ᐟ.ᐟ
Physical touch - You shouldn’t be surprised. This gem will find any chance to drop her whole body weight onto your back when you least suspect it, and laughs at you for falling! This does often turn into cuddling on the floor, where someone will trip over the pair of you. Will carry you around if either of you feel like it, makes a show of carrying you with one arm. If you’re also a gem and can fuse, she is begging you. Loves fusing with you so much, especially the closeness, also if given the chance she’s showing off what you two can do together.
Close second is: Gift giving
✮`,— PEARL .ᐟ.ᐟ
Quality time - She thinks it’s nice just knowing you’re nearby even if neither of you speak, no matter what she’s doing, she’ll spare a few glances your way. Whether you’re human or a gem, she’ll invite you into her room at the temple, (she gets teased for it) and has made a platform just for you. Always makes it clear you’re welcome to sit while she cleans, so don’t ever get worried about it or even trying to help, as much as she appreciates it, she’d rather you relax and she’ll watch you.
Close second is: Acts of service
✮`,— STEVEN .ᐟ.ᐟ
Physical touch - He loves any sort of physical touch, but especially giving it to you. Every time he returns from a gem mission or just returning from town, he can’t help but to throw him at you and trap you in a bone crushing hug. The gems (Even if not all of them will admit it) find the love between you two adorable, glancing at the pair of you sitting next to each other, lightly pushing the other as you play your games.
Close second is: Acts of service
✮`,— PERIDOT .ᐟ.ᐟ
Gift giving - She’s still learning about earth customs and finds that she really enjoys giving you things, goes out of her way to make items she thinks you’d enjoy. And is normally so proud when giving you these items, but sometimes it doesn’t come out like she was hoping, still, but grumbling about it, shows you. Please give her something back, she’ll be over the moon about it. Then immediately finds a way to up one you, it's out of love though.
Close second is: Acts of service
✮`,— LAPIS .ᐟ.ᐟ
Quality time - Lapis doesn’t need a lot to be content and happy, so she’s fine when you come to hang out with her and not do anything. Most of the time you’ll be invited to the barn just to rewatch Camp Pining Hearts, and you’re both content with that. Her absolute favourite thing is to take you for a flight, taking you far enough out where it’s just you two and the night sky.
Close second is: Physical touch
✮`,— BISMUTH .ᐟ.ᐟ
Physical touch - Bismuth is a sucker for your attention, even more down for your touch. So whenever she gets the chance, she’s taking it. If someone sees either one of you they know the other isn’t far off. She’s not afraid of some pda. This gem loves being able to carry you around, whether it’s in her arms, on her shoulder. Whenever she passes by you, or even sees you, she has to rush over and give you a big ol’ smooch.

Black Swan’s kiss fractures like stained glass. It’s an enigma of color, a mystery of sensation. Her touch is kaleidoscopic, scattering love over your body. Her lips lead your dance through light and shadow, the glass’ pattern posing no challenge for her grace. These very steps left your mind hazy, thoughts reigned by every card she revealed.
Black Swan’s favorite kisses are given to your hand. Perfectly formal and honoring, she enjoys how flustered this kiss leaves you. Often she’ll entwine your hands after, bringing you closer for a kiss on your lips. Her fingertips dance across your lower back as she grips your hand, parting with a knowing smile.
Your favorite kisses come in the morning. Slow and affectionate, Black Swan always takes her time with you in the early light. There’s no rush to leave each other's warmth, every glide of lips purely indulgent. Candles still cover her features in gold, painting a spark in her eyes that only draws you closer.
Constance’s kiss ignites a fire in your veins. Her claws find their way around your nape, dragging you deeper into the flame. Her lips move like poised blades, her small pricks their strike. Lidded eyes speak of her exhilaration, smile utterly loving and wicked as her cheeks grow red. She can’t resist diving in for more, all too eager to remember this moment.
Constance’s favorite kisses are bloody and deep. She can never resist biting your bottom lip, but some nights her passion simply becomes all-consuming. Her floral scent wraps around you soothingly, entirely juxtaposed by her sharp teeth. Her tongue darts out to gather the budding blood, her lips once again nearing to suck and draw out more of that fine taste. Constance can’t help but press into you, desperate amidst her affection.
Your favorite kisses were the first after her return. Traipsing through memories was one of her favorite pastimes, one that you could not always participate in. Often she gets lost in the moment’s euphoria, like a cat toying with their food. The end of her escapades proved worth the wait, with the way she would dance you into her arms and sigh into your following kiss.
Cyrene’s kiss feels like an ancient story’s climax. Sweet and enrapturing, her lips find yours in a steady progression. She starts at your forehead, venturing down to your cheeks and nose, before finally meeting your lips. She laughs against you, her joy contagious.
Cyrene’s favorite kisses carry a swing’s rhythm. Soft then harsh, slow then fast, short then long. The constant change of pace leaves her on her toes, leading her along a new plot to discover. Love brings so many precious experiences, she can never hope to note them all down. Instead her heart remembers every brush of your lips, every sigh and quiet groan. Such special moments ought to be preserved in a special place, after all~
Your favorite kisses are unconventional yet endearing. The delicate brush of your eyelashes across Cyrene’s cheek has always felt like a butterfly’s wing, though you preferred to call them star kisses. Ephemeral and comforting, you both find peace in this little ritual.
Himeko’s kiss energizes you like the bitter drink she adores. Her painted lips bear coffee’s bold flavor, sweet as can be when tasted from her. Practiced elegance leads her fingertips to your forehead, brushing aside stray hairs and guiding them behind your ear. Your smile is far too enticing, leading her to place another kiss at the end of your jaw.
Himeko’s favorite kisses involve learning, taking your time to explore what the other likes. Discovery is the flame of trailblazing, curiosity its spark. Himeko seeks to know as much of you as possible, and the vulnerability of a kiss allows her a perfect view into your heart and mind. Love’s journey has returned to her station, ready for her to embark once again.
Your favorite kisses are given on the shoulder, a silent reminder and easing of weight. It's natural to get lost in travel, repairs, and books – such is the life of a Nameless. These little kisses are grounding, something to draw each other back to the moment and simply enjoy the company. On more taxing days, they lift the navigator’s burden, even if only by a fraction.
Pearl’s kiss echoes the tides. Graceful and constant, she is anything but afraid to express what she feels for you. Her heart may be robotic, but it swells and ebbs with water’s evocative emotion. Even her eloquence cannot traverse their tempest, falling into the waves of her lips on yours.
Pearl’s favorite kisses are placed on her wrists. The golden plates there are sensitive, covering the very wires that sustain her. It is an intimate spot; a place she hopes conveys her trust in you when your lips greet the metal. Your touch makes her feel appreciated, like a work of art to be cherished. Such a sentiment is rare among the IPC, a fact that leaves her craving your security.
Your favorite kisses are given to the shell of your ear. A subtle and private location, all the more sensitive for it. Pearl loves placing a simple peck there throughout her busy day, one that never fails to melt your body into the current. At night, when you’re cuddled close above endless lights and performances, her kiss is even softer. Placed from behind, slow and steady. Her lips finally find yours after, pace fluctuating like waves on the shore.
Yao Guang’s kiss brushes like a feather’s caress. She starts simple, teasing even. Her lips press into yours quick and light, returning with the same force until you finally break. Her next kiss is bold, something to surprise now, as she enjoys your stunned posture. Your smile into her next kiss only spurs her on further.
Yao Guang’s favorite kisses feel like fates colliding. A burst of starlight, a kettle on too long. When your lips meet with the intensity of a hurricane, there is nothing she wants to do but fall into it. There are no questions nor doubts in this moment – only the force of your body against hers matters, every emotion pouring from your lips.
Your favorite kisses are left on her fingertips. They are elegant, yet well-worn by divination tools and fortune’s essence. Poised as a bird or preparing to strike, they are always in use. Your kiss is sweet, almost worshipping, in its press against her fingertip. The smirk on her face is worth more than the cosmos, your kiss following more than the Hunt’s arrow.

[Steven Universe] Lapis Lazuli x Female Reader | Pearl x Female Reader - "Jealous"
[Requested by: anonymous]
Summary: "Why can't you spend more time with me instead of her?"
Word Count: 1.68k for Lapis, 1.72k for Pearl
Content + Warnings: Jealousy, lazy writing during some parts (I had a headache, sorry)
Enjoy. :)
Lapis preferred to be on her own.
That's what she forced herself to believe after being forced into seclusion for thousands of years. With so little contact over that time, she hardly knew how to interact with others anymore, especially humans.
And yet, when she met you, that changed.
Sure, she had gotten close to Steven, Peridot, and Bismuth, but you were different. You were special. From the moment you two properly met, there was a pull towards you, and she found herself wanting to be around you more often.
And she loved that feeling: wanting to be near you.
But then she started developing a feeling she didn't like.
Whenever you were hanging out with anyone else for a little too long, whether it was Peridot, Steven, Bismuth, or someone else, she found a heaviness settling in her chest, accompanied by a spark of annoyance in her mind. It was an awful feeling, one she tried to ignore.
But no matter what she did to take her mind off of it, she felt some form of rage bubbling up beneath her skin at the sight of you focusing only on someone else — someone that wasn't her. Even without fully understanding why she felt the way she did, she could tell it wasn't a good thing for her to feel.
Why was she worried that you liked being around them more? You made it clear that she was the one you cared for the most. You promised her, and she trusted you, so why did she feel like something was going to go wrong?
Why did she feel like someone was going to take you away from her?
She'd already been alone for so long. Being friends with so many gems was already an adjustment she had made — honestly it was one she was still making — but being so close to you was something she wished she had experienced long before. When you finally got together, she had assumed the feeling would go away for good, but it never did. She still worried you were going to change your mind about her and see that someone else — anyone else — would be a better option for you.
She didn't want that.
Call her selfish, but she wanted you all to herself.
So when she saw you once again diverting all of your attention from her to focus on Peridot, she scoffed, the noise prompting both of you to stare at her. "You okay, Lazuli?" Peridot asked, her voice laced with pure concern. She had noticed the gem acting off for months at that point, but every time she tried to approach the subject and see what was wrong, Lapis shut her down and dismissed the entire conversation.
Whatever it was that was upsetting her was clearly a sensitive topic.
Just as she had done every time before, Lapis waved her hand and turned away, already trailing out of the greenhouse. "I'm fine. You two have fun." Neither you nor Peridot bought her words. With a frown, you gripped your forearm, eyes cast down at the floor beneath you as you tried to wrack your brain for anything you could've done to upset her.
Noticing your change in demeanor immediately, Peridot smiled softly and walked over to the door. "Hey, don't worry about anything. I'll go talk to her," she mumbled, leaving you alone in the greenhouse after you gave her a nod.
Outside, Lapis was already several paces away, and Peridot had to jog just to make it near her. When Lapis realized she was being followed, she quickened her steps. Peridot groaned out of frustration, tired of Lapis's sudden distance that had been building up for months, and held out her hand in the direction of a few pieces of scrap metal next to some of Bismuth's scaffolding.
With a quick wave, the metal flew in front of Lapis, effectively bringing her to a stop. "Lazuli, wait," Peridot hollered.
When she caught up to the taller gem, she huffed, letting the metal fall. "What's been upsetting you lately? I thought you were doing better!" The blue gem let out a feigned laugh and turned to face her, arms crossed almost defensively across her chest. "I was! And now the one person I've ever actually loved is starting to take interest in you and everyone else. It feels like I hardly get to spend time with my own girlfriend anymore!"
A blink greeted her in reply, and Peridot murmured your name, as if to confirm that's who Lapis was referring to. "Of course," the blue gem snapped. "Who else?"
"Are you crazy? You're the only one she's interested in. Why would you think otherwise?"
"Because," Lapis sucked in a breath, suddenly realizing what the feeling was. Her mind raced as she thought back to all of the drama on Camp Pining Hearts, her face burning upon finally understanding why her actions and words felt so familiar.
Jealousy.
That's what had been sinking in her chest any time you were spending time with someone else.
Just like one of the main characters had done in the show, she was growing agitated simply because her lover was spending time with someone else, despite the fact their relationship was already established and strong.
She used to mock the actions of that character. With all of the context, it seemed ridiculous for the character to be afraid of losing the one person who had only ever had eyes for them.
Was that what everyone had been thinking when they noticed how off Lapis had been?
Did they think her jealousy was unwarranted too?
She could only stare at nothing for a long stretch, only snapping out of it when Peridot cleared her throat and spoke. "Because what?"
"Oh, stars," Lapis mumbled. "Oh my stars, I'm just in my head about all of this. I'm making a problem out of nothing."
"Huh?" Peridot tilted her head, completely excluded from Lapis's thought process — lost. "What're you talking about? What problem? What are you in your head about? What is going on?" For the first time in a while, Lapis started to laugh, catching the smaller gem completely off guard. "Oh, wow," the blue gem bellowed between chuckles. "I'm no better than a character in a soap opera."
"You've completely lost me."
Lapis sighed and ran a hand down her face before shaking her head. "Don't worry about it. I'll be right back." And once again, she was walking away from Peridot, though it didn't feel as worrying this time.
Soon after, she found herself standing in the open doorway of the barn, fingers toying with the hem of her waistband as she forced her feet to carry her forward. With a few paces, she wound up standing beside the sofa you were seated on. "Hey," she blurted. You turned to look up at her. "Hey," you offered quietly. "Mind if I sit here?" You nodded and shifted over far enough to give her room, the sight bringing a small smile to her face.
"I, uh," the confidence she had been building on the way to the barn seemed to dissipate as soon as she sat down. Her eyes drifted away from you and landed on the floorboards below. "I just wanted to apologize for… well, the past few months, really." You tilted your head, but didn't speak, wanting to understand what she meant.
"I know I've been acting kind of weird. I hope I didn't upset you too much."
"I mean, I've been worried," you murmured a second later. "But it was more-so because I have no idea if I did something to upset you or not."
She tensed and waved her hands dismissively. "Oh, no, not at all! It was just… my mind getting too loud again. All me, I swear." A bit of relief flooded through your limbs, allowing you to breathe for just a moment before another question formed and rolled off your tongue. "What was going on?"
Her face darkened with a deep shade of blue, accenting the golden freckles decorating her face. Once again, her head dipped down and her eyes lowered to the ground. "I, um," she stammered out. God, she really was just as bad as those characters.
"I guess I just got a little jealous." Her voice was so soft that you nearly didn't catch what she said. Everything from the previous few months finally clicked into place, however, and your brows lifted. "Oh."
A pause.
"Why?"
She sighed, closing her eyes. "Well, you've just been spending so much time with the others, especially Peridot, and my mind just started playing tricks on me, I guess. I mean, I know you wouldn't ever hurt me like that, but it's kind of hard to ignore those thoughts sometimes, y'know?"
You nodded. "Well, if you want, we could start spending more time together again. I know it's been a while since we've even just spent the day together since Little Homeworld is so close to being completed. Maybe we could take more breaks and go on those little dates we used to." Her head finally lifted, eyes locking onto yours immediately. "Are you sure? I figured you'd want to finish Little Homeworld first."
"I thought you'd be the same way," you chuckled. "That's why I never thought to bring it up. I'd love to spend more time with you again though. We'll just have to tell Peridot and Bismuth beforehand, otherwise they're going to interrupt an ungodly amount of times." A laugh finally spilled past her lips as she gave you a nod.
"Yeah, that's true." She hummed. "Would you maybe wanna go on one of those dates right now? I kind of need to get away from Peridot until my embarrassment dies down." It was your turn to nod, and you followed it up by standing and holding out your hand for her to take. "Yeah, absolutely. But let's at least go find Bismuth first and let her know we'll be gone for a bit."
She let you pull her to her feet. "Sounds good to me."
Pearl thought she had worked through these issues by now. Her jealousy over Greg had long been settled, and with the good terms they had found themselves on, she figured she'd never have to worry about those awful thoughts and feelings again.
Of course, she should've known better.
There were thousands and thousands of years of jealousy. It hadn't just been Greg she'd been jealous of. It had been every gem or human who got even a little too close to Rose. The feeling came back to haunt her again and again, even though she'd never admit it. Rose had been gone for over eighteen years now, survived by the one and only Steven Universe — savior of the galaxy — and although she knew she'd never fully get over the loss of the gem she had cherished and loved since she became hers, she had come to terms with how she felt.
The loss was devastating, even after all of these years, and there were still plenty of days where she wanted nothing more than to go back in time just to see Rose again.
And it was okay.
It was okay to feel rage, and sorrow, and confusion.
It was okay to still mourn her.
It was okay to not fully understand why Rose made the decisions she did.
Regardless of how her mind tried to convince her otherwise, it was okay.
But the one feeling she didn't want to experience again was jealousy. After losing Rose and raising Steven, she figured she wouldn't have to ever again.
But then she met you, and by the stars, she fell for you. Hard.
Nearly every second, minute, hour that she had free, she spent with you. It was rare to see the two of you separate most days, and even on the occasional occurrence where you weren't side by side, she was still in contact with you over the phone — a human invention she was grateful for more and more every single day.
She absolutely loved everything about you. At first, she worried that she was trying to see Rose through you, but it didn't take long for her to realize that she saw you for who you were, and that was the most beautiful thing of all. Every hobby, interest, smile, joke, laugh, and conversation that you shared with her bubbled up into a cherished memory that she replayed through her holograms at the end of every day.
Everything had been going perfectly. That's what she told herself. You were together. She was happy with you, and you were happy with her. There was nothing to worry about.
So then why did that nagging, grating, all-too-familiar ache make itself known in her chest every time you were around Amethyst?
Surely she wasn't jealous over her.
She trusted Amethyst — she'd known her for so long. There was no reason for her to think that Amethyst would break that trust and jeopardize a relationship that clearly meant the world to her. Sure, Amethyst was known for her joking, teasing, and occasional pettiness, but interfering with someone else's relationship wasn't something she'd do.
Pearl knew that.
She knew that.
That's why she didn't understand why there was a pit forming in her stomach as she once again watched you and Amethyst from afar.
It had become a routine thing, even without her fully realizing it, to watch the two of you mingle. You were just good friends. There was no reason to get upset.
But it killed her to watch Amethyst make you smile and laugh so effortlessly. It was like you'd known her far longer. It was like you were more comfortable with her.
Was she not enough for you? Was there something she could do to get your attention back on her, and only her? She didn't know, but she was fighting against her urges to storm over and pull you away. Her fingers twitched on the banister of the steps leading up to the house, tempted to turn and grasp at the wooden beam until it cracked from her inhuman strength.
The sight of Amethyst taking your hand — even though it was only for a few seconds, likely for another one of her jokes — sent her skin ablaze. There was an anger festering beneath, one she repeatedly tried to snuff out, and she found herself shuffling closer to the steps, almost as if she would bolt down them at any given moment.
Had Ruby and Sapphire not been down at Little Homeworld for their self-taught classes, Pearl was sure they'd both be there by her side, offering a few words of warning or trying to convince her to take a breath.
If Steven had been there, he'd be talking to her about why she felt so disgusted at the sight of you spending time with someone else, despite the fact that you had every right to do so. He'd encourage her to go down and join the two of you, or talk to you at the very least about what had been bothering her for months.
And yet, despite knowing what the three of them would say, and despite knowing that she only needed to trust you, that envy hardly faltered.
And when you playfully bumped Amethyst before doubling over with a roar of laughter, it seared worse than before.
Why couldn't you be that way around her?
Her legs carried her down the steps before she even realized it. By the time she paid attention to what she was doing, she was already half a step behind you, hand outstretched to grab hold of your arm. Feeling slender fingers snare themselves around your wrist pulled your focus away from the conversation, and you turned to find Pearl standing there, an unreadable expression riddled over her face as she stared at you.
"Pearl?" You asked with a small quiver in your voice, unsure of why she had come over in such a hurry. "Is everything okay?" Her jaw clenched and she blinked, glancing at where her hand was linked to your arm and immediately pulling away as if she had just fully processed where she was. Her eyes darted over to Amethyst, who was just as bewildered and concerned as you were.
"Ah-" In a motion too quick to properly see, her palm lifted to shield her mouth. Just as quickly, her hand rolled into a fist and turned, a noticeable tension in her knuckles as she cleared her throat. "Yes, sorry. I hadn't realized— I didn't mean to grab a hold of you. I just," she paused, sucking in an unsteady breath.
"Could I speak with you privately for a moment?" With your mind still reeling to try and make sense of her sudden behavior, you eyed Amethyst, who gave you a shrug and a nod. "Yeah, sure," you finally replied, following her to stand a decent distance away. When she was sure the two of you couldn't be heard, she let out a heavy breath.
It took everything in her to not blurt out that she simply wanted you to spend time with her and only her. That would only leave a negative thread in how you viewed her, and that was the last thing she wanted. A moment passed where she closed her eyes and tried to phrase her thoughts correctly.
"I sincerely hope this doesn't come across the wrong way," she started, opening her eyes but only barely managing to look at you. "But if I'm being completely honest, I've been feeling rather… neglected in our relationship. I understand this most certainly isn't the best time or place to bring this up, but it's been eating away at my mind for several months at this point, and it wouldn't be fair to either of us if I didn't voice it to you.
"As petty as it may sound, it feels like you've been spending far more time with Amethyst than you have with me. I understand that I have no right to keep you from spending time with others — I mean, humans are social beings, after all, it's part of your nature — and I trust that you wouldn't jeopardize what we have, but I'd really, really appreciate it if you'd spend more time with me."
You blinked at her, unable to find the words to say as you tried to process what all she had said.
Was she…?
Oh.
Oh, she was jealous.
Oh, wow, okay. That certainly wasn't what you were expecting.
"Yeah," you finally blurted after a moment. "Yeah, we can spend more time together. Sorry, by the way. I didn't know I was spending so much time with Amethyst." Her eyes instantly lit up at your words. Would you have said the same thing if she talked to you about it sooner? That would've been so much easier.
"It's quite alright. It's not necessarily that I mind you spending time with her, I just wish you and I could spend more time together as well, especially now that there isn't much that I have to do. I've been missing you, if I'm being honest, which is odd since you're here most of the time." You nearly winced at her words. Had you really been neglecting her that much?
That had to change.
"Well, why don't we plan a little date for tonight? Just you and I," you suggested, linking your hands together behind your back. Her lips stretched into a wide grin at the idea and she nodded, clapping her own hands together in front of her. "Perfect! Oh, I already have so many ideas," she replied with riveting enthusiasm.
"Could I steal you away from Amethyst for a bit to start the planning?"
"No need, dude," came an amused voice, one that made the two of you jump and twirl around to the source. Amethyst smirked with her arms crossed as she glanced between the two of you. "Amethyst," Pearl yelped, "how long have you been listening?" The shorter gem shrugged.
"Long enough to know how down bad you are for her," she teased while jabbing her thumb in your direction. "Down bad?" Pearl echoed, and while Amethyst snickered at her lack of understanding for modern lingo, you brushed it off and sighed.
"I'll explain it to you later," you assured her, earning a nod and another small smile.

Sooo I saw the bubba and Thomas reports and I was wondering..... singer/actor pt 2 with them and anyone else u want???
I feel so bad asking for all ts but atp i prolly owe you my blood line so yolo
oh you love me...
also don't ever feel bad please, I love these requests. especially because it helps me step out of my comfort zone and "forces me" write for more characters than just Vincent lol
(I'm actually quite glad you asked for this, I love writing Bubba)
I added Pearl because I just couldn't help it!! I love her so so much, she is very dear to my heart and I feel like she just doesn't get enough love 💔
anyway, cut for length of course ☆

Thomas is keeping you FAR away from Hoyt.
to be fair that's true no matter the situation, but stay with me.
I think that, like Drayton, Hoyt would get irritated easily with too much singing as well (except Hoyt is much worse, and might threaten you).
Luda Mae LOVES you. she can tell that having you around makes Thommy happy, plus the singing is nice while cooking (especially if you're helping out).
Thomas' favorite part is probably coming back inside after/during a long day of work, and stopping to hear you sing for just a moment.
it makes him feel much better to finally have something other than screaming and arguing in the house, so he really is greatful that you're here now.

Bubba is very excited! he thinks it will be interesting to have another music lover in the family.
he hopes that you and Chop Top will get along over this shared interest. Bubba might worry about what Drayton will think though, he know that his big brother can be irritable most times, so he would likely try to keep you just a little quieter around him.
I think he would absolutely love having you act things out for him, and having you sing to him.
maybe he might even beg you (have one of the twins ask) to sing him something that mama might have sang to them when she was alive.
you will havs to sing him to sleep every night. he probably wanted you to do it one night and refuses fall asleep without it since.
you can pretty much say goodbye to any sort of arts carreer, but don't worry! you can always still and and sing for the family!!

Pearl is SO happy to have someone with the same same interests as her, just as long as you're not trying to compete or outshine her.
she loves bringing you to the barn to listen to you sing, or sing with you and to act things out together. she might take you out to the field with her if you absolutely need a third, the scarecrow may not be able to act, but it's better than nothing.
Pearl is another one that I think would want you to sing her to sleep. she's never known enough comfort to even think about asking for something like that.
I think she sings herself to sleep sometimes, having nothing else, so she probably cries the first time you sing to her at night, begging you to keep going if you stop on acount of her sobbing.
she remembers your face, the way your lips so quickly contorted into a smile or frown. she remembers the sound of your laughter and the furrow of your brow.
it’s not like there weren’t photographs back then. there were—they existed along with the fingerprints and facial recognition and signature verification and all other kinds of biometrics, but none of yours survived that could be tied to a name. the recordings that remain are never properly labeled. never listed with a name or decipherable signature. clearly, you hadn’t thought you would need one.
another long-life species might find it funny, how much the short-lived mind likes to forget about its own steadily approaching end. how easy it finds it with the aid of simple distressors and excitements. but Pearl—who has always had difficulty replicating organic humor—doesn’t find it funny at all. she finds it cruel.
you shouldn’t have had to have done anything more than exist to be preserved in memory. you hadn’t known how much grief you could cause with a simple omission—it wouldn’t have made sense. a name is a name, the sounds and symbols one uses to linguistically define a thing, a notion, a person. surely she wouldn’t forget yours, surely she cared for you too much to. surely she would be perfectly capable of holding it close enough to her heart to remember it just as photographically as she remembers everything else. she wouldn’t feel such an imbalance in serotonin developing from the mere fact she will never know the true length of the white gapped spaces. she wouldn’t let it cross her mind with a promise to return every time the blooming hyacinthus orientalis or the rotting prunus persica reminded her. she wouldn’t fault you for her own failure.
only, she wasn’t made to process this emotion strongly enough to determine who exactly she does fault. objectively, it wasn’t her failure at all. it was ███████ who did it and ███████ who did so for the collective good. she should be glad THEY left her anything at all—wasn’t that kind of THEM? wasn’t it? wasn’t it? yes, it was.
but it was still THEM and THEIR actions that erased so much of you. because Pearl isn’t unintelligent. she knows what she calls everything might very well only be a half, a quarter, a fifth, a tenth, a hundredth, a thousandth of the actuality. but there is no use in dwelling on it. she has already wasted too much time on that.
Pearl remembers everything except your name.
sometimes she wishes she hadn’t forgot. so that she could at least have the chance to do something with it. so that she could take a soldering pen to her wrist and carve its graphemes in until it melted the plastic skin—not that she had ever seriously considered such a thing. but wouldn’t it be nice to have the option? to have the possibility? to become anything but this?
but her want is only a wish, and wishes are just that—wishes, hopes thrown to the tide Pearl knows better than to dive in after and pursue.
so, today, the Intellitron will do what she has always done. she will sit at her desk and let her grief throw fits until it tires itself out.
can you make pearl x reader th anks best friend ever in the whole wide world 😍😘🥰 -mel
authors’ note: of course pookie bae @lesbroxy this is for you
(Rose Quartz’s) Pearl x Reader
gif for you
— If you’re a gem, you met Pearl while on Homeworld and became a part of the Crystal Gems, eventually traveling to Earth
— so you have known each other for quite some time
— If you’re a human, Steven probably introduced you or set you up 💀
— no it would actually be a little bit cute
— especially if you had both like shown interest in each other before whether it be flirting or just talking or even little glances and smiles at each other
— pearl is so girlfail probably very awkward..
— But I’d imagine she probably tries to show off whenever you’re around to be impressive
— Pearl would probably talk to Garnet or even Steven about you, her “mysterious crush”
— She is under the impression that nobody knows that she likes you
— and nobody has the guts to tell her how painfully obvious it is
— Steven would probably just come up to you one day and say something like “So what’s with you and Pearl?”
— And whether you directly tell him or not he’s going back to pearl with a smile telling her to just ask you out
— So Pearl walks to your door (how does she know where you live. Don’t ask me)
— shaking, asking “Will you go on a date with me?”
— She takes you to the beach, probably just to sit, maybe a picnic and it’s beautiful and nice.
— Pearl takes you back to the beach house after and shows you off to the Crystal Gems.
— like “hahaha lookie 🫵😂😂 look what i have and you dont!!!”
— Maybe not exactly like that but she indirectly shows you off
— either way she is a 10/10 girlfriend WOULD RECOMMEND!!
