Precision of Language
For @lady-crushes-friday at long last some YellowDot angsting! I wanted to experiment with giving Yellow Diamond a thought process that feels distinctly nonhuman and also sets her apart from the other gems as an ancient being among other ancient beings...hopefully it’s more that than “gratuitously rambly”.
Part 1: grieve
She had no way of knowing Blue had been here until she made contact with the Earth. The information flooded her, momentarily clouded her vision, imprints of Blue walking, wandering aimlessly, seeking, grieving.
Grieving. Loss. Still feeling. Always flooded with the stuff, a river of remorse flowing forever from her eyes. It was sickening. Dizzying. She did her best to ignore it.
No sense in it, and yet, how else did she mean to explain her own presence here? Failed Peridot (rebellious Peridot). Needed to assess the situation, determine whether the project could be salvaged--personally, lest another of her best gems fell victim to organic nonsense.
(Feeble excuse.)
