Pearlplusau Animatic #3: Here we are in the future (Coral's part)
So as you can see from the video, there were no original animatics found. However, someone sent me voice-over versions of the animatic. I downloaded Pearl's instrumental version of "Happily Ever After" from this link cuz they have similar background music of a piano.
Then I downloaded the voice-overed animatic, removed the audio, and added the instrumental soundtrack instead! You would not believe how magical it was to match the soundtrack with the animatic!
Anyways, the animatic of Coral/Pinkpearl's Happily Ever After tells the similar story of the gem's origin. We get to see how Coral was given to Pink Diamond, their companionship until Pearl came in, and growing into her own identity instead of just "Pink Diamond's pearl."
We're 75% into the project! We need just one more animatic called "Listen Before I Go" and the project will be complete! Thank you to tumblr blogger who sent me the links to the voice-overed animatics. Maybe after the project is done, I'll ask the permission of the voice-over artists on Youtube and maybe post them here too!
UPDATE ON THE NEXT CHAPTER! (And the chance to be part of it!)
Hey guys, Ive moved out to a relative's house and start working at the office instead of WFH. Its been two weeks and I think Ive adjusted to the lifestyle here. Now I have this goal to write around 500 words every week for the next chapter.
But before I announce when the next chapter will be ready, I want you guys to be a part of the writing process. I am at the early stages of the story, and they're mostly at the first drafts.
So I would like to show you guys the main plot points of the next chapter and be included more and more.
Spoiler for the next chapter after "Keep reading" if you want to go in completely blind.
If you want to read the next chapter completely blind, please stop reading this right this moment.

Okay so the following showcases the main plotpoints for the eighth chapter. (I might also do this with chapter 9, but lets see how chapter 8 goes first.) If there are any changes to the plot I'll let you guys know.
Chapter 8 - The human
1. Greg meets gems - Coral warps in with Garnet - the whole "lets throw him over the fence" thing - Rose walks in - Gems interact with Greg - Greg leaves - Gems talk to Rose about Greg being human - Gems eavesdrop on Gregs proposal from their rooms - Rose and Greg starts dating - each gem interacts differently with Greg as Rose's bf - Pearl reminds gems that Greg wont be around forever - Amethyst admires Gregs hair - Coral treats Greg like Rose's favorite thing. (Its pretty much from the episode "Young Gems" with an extended act.)
2. Gems starts to get used to Greg - starts seeing how happy he makes Rose - Coral pressed record on video tape - Rainbow Quartz appearance - Coral distracts Amy from Greg and Garnet - Coral follows others to the stage - Gems spies on Greg's attempt to "fuse" with Rose - "Oh them? Those are four long stories." - Gems realizes Rose was serious about Greg - Gems try to not think about it too much - Coral did not quite catch on to the issue - Coral talks to Greg abt the stage - Greg does his best to explain his point of view to Coral - Coral talks about how Rose and the gems lived for a long time - sees the earth as something to preserve - never really thought about being equal - cuz the beings she loves doesn't stay forever...
Im just throwing this out there, so please don't feel obligated to do this if you're not up for it.
Im here to announce that I am open to ideas. It can be an interesting plot point, an easter egg from the canon series, a suggestion for the a certain plotpoint (Ex. how each gem would interact with greg separately) , a headcanon of some sort or anything that you think will benefit the plot and make it a little bit more interesting to read. The biggest thing I want to get out of this is to interact with you guys. Theres almost 2000 of you and I wanna interact with you guys before we get to 2k. This is our chance to do that. So if you're up for
Whether your idea is big or small, send them in. But I cant give a 100% guarantee that it will be included in the story. I still want to follow the plotpoints in mind, so not every single idea given will be implemented in the story.
Theres a chance that the story can turn to a different direction. Theres also a chance that the story will be completed without any major changes at all.
For example, maybe someone sends in an idea that Coral should treat Greg like how Pearl treats him. It's a pretty logical idea, but we already know the dynamic of Coral and Greg. It was mentioned by Tripixle over a year ago. Something about being repressive and pretty different from Pearl's dynamic with Greg.
Or maybe someone gives an idea that clashes with another someone's idea. And if I like either of those ideas, I would only still be able to pick one out of the two.
But don't be discouraged to give out your ideas. Who knows, maybe I'll like the idea so much that I draft out another version of the story (like an outtake), or I can include them in future chapters.
Whatever ideas you guys give, just know that it will be here forever and know that you made an impact to the storyline.
I will be tagging those who gave ideas at the end of the chapter. Just know that I will be tagging the first person that gave out the idea.
And if this chapter goes well, I might do this again for future chapters.
Theres no deadline for giving out ideas, but I do have the goal to complete chapter 8 by the end of March next year. So if you would like to contribute, just send in your ideas by then.
Hopefully this will be a collaborative writing experience for all of us!
