if you can imagine this is a real thing that happened to me while playing, you would be right lol.
The in universe explanation for how this happened I think is that Lunive was trying to get that stupid recipe from the mines for like days in a row and entered a sort of meditative state that meant at some point when they did get the recipe, they didn't internalize at all that that is what it was and just stuffed it into their notebook later without thinking... only to find it later and realize they'd been wasting extra time in the minds rip.
Also assuming the mines recipe's are ofc not like, irrecoverable, but that at least in Mistria the folks that happen to remember the recipe don't have it written down. very cook it with your heart, which is useless to Lunive unfortunately lol.
hey does anyone know that art of the lifecycle of a mermaid where they are born a normal fish and as they grow the human part emerged from the fish mouth to eventually theave the fish part as just the tail? and the follow up comic about this also applying to centaurs??
I have been introducing my partner to Steven Universe and so a little while ago I decided to revisit some of my Gem OCs! I have so many so this is only a fraction of the redesigns I have but I had fun doing them! I'll post the original designs as well as some thoughts on them below the cut, especially since these are all gems that don't exist in canon (outside of fusion or corruption at least).
First up are the Moonstone sisters! This art is from 2017.
All my Gem OCs had been from an au where a seperate rebellion/coup apart from the Crystal Gems happened. Most of my OCs were Gems who had defected. Because of this remember a lot of their personalities, but a lot of their home world purposes were underexplored.
The Moonstones were such few who I have no memory for their purpose. The thing I do remember was that they were designed the only gems where cross fusion was allowed on homeworld. Moonstone and Sunstones being made to act as a pair of combat partners who when fused created something balanced.
Now my Moonstones are homeworld spies. With the power to turn invisible they make excellent scouts for anything that homeworld may wish to investigate! My Moonstone is rather friendly and mischievous, whilst Rainbow Moonstone is more reserved and careful.
Next are the Sunstones! You can see these two got similarly redesigned at the Moonstones, even if I'm not sure they are a pair anymore, they are functionally similar and in a similar caste placement! So I like them to match.
Sunstones now in my fanon have light powers, in opposition to the Moonstone's invisibility powers. Their purpose is distracting in nature, instigative, using their powers to blind and distract. They live a more dangerous life, in the limelight compared to their Moonstone counterparts. They are sent on missions which require more strategy, alongside their Moonstone partners, so that they may affectively clear the way and keep heat off the other as they look into things. If you see a Sunstone nearby, be wary of what you don't see.
Sunstone had a similar personality to Moonstone, being louder, more confident, and while appreciative of mischief, far more prone to genuinity. Star Sunstone on the other hand was an extremely nervous fellow, who decidedly did NOT have the best personality for his life.
These two I remember more plot for. I'll safe Sunstone since it has to do with one of the others posted here, but Star Sunstone was portrayed as having a rather abusive relationship with a Cotton Candy Agate. I have no recollection on what their affiliation was, if they were under the command of the Agate, in a way similar to the Quartzes who Holly Blue Agate in canon had authority over that she abused. But this lead to Star Sunstone's gem getting chipped/scratched and there being fallout with that.
Next is White Howlite! Howlites in my au were meant to be a sort of messenger Gem, someone to handle more physical communications or deliveries. White Howlite had, predictably, been a part of White Diamonds court.
I have since changed Howlites to instead of being messengers, being stewards, folks kept around by more important gems to manage their things. Their homes, ships, territories, etc.
I had very little about my Howlite despite them being one of the OCs I remember as part of the lineup more prominently. I think they had a very begrudging caretaker personality, leftover need to manage things from their homeworld life.
Finally, Painite! An extremely rare gem whose abilities I changed on rewrite. Initially they were literally just a torture machine, a living weapon created solely to punish other gems at their diamonds whim. Isolated from other gems, kept like a prized pet to their diamond. I have now changed that at least a little bit.
Painite in the updated version is still rather isolated, though less obviously so. Painites may be of the rarest gems on homeworld, second only to the diamonds. They are extremely high nobility, but do not possess the freedoms of other higher ranks given their rarity and dangerousness. They have a power to puppet other gems, a painful process, to control people. They are usually brought out as a last resort for oppressing dissenters and walking the gallows bound to an "honourable" execution. They are poorly socialized, expected to hold little to no empathy for their fellow gems, and even when the option arises folks aren't often interested in being friendly with something so dangerous.
Originally Painite and Sunstone shared a dynamic, and Sunstone was the one to get through to Painite, offer friendship they'd never known, and lead them to join the rebellion. I still like the idea but have no idea how to implement it.
Anyways, these are only a few of my old gems so maybe one day I'll revisit more! ty for reading! :]
part of a series of pieces I wanted to do with Neve's important relationships. Featuring @sergeantcowboy OC Hannes, as well as canon characters Hodari and Najuma!
Neve's hearing aids are initially not working when they reemerge, so they're stuck with lipreading and writing for a while until someone directs them to Najuma. The most local person to Kilima who might be able to figure out whats going on with the devices.
Neve lets her experimentally try to fix them whenever they're not working, and through that they grow a friendly reputation with one another. Hodari isn't exactly thrilled that she's working on something that important, but Hannes has helped convince him to let it be, as well as supervise.
Some art I did of Neve with Auni, and a friend's OC.
I wanted to do a series of Neve with their friends/important relationships. Both OC and canon NPCs. Neve gets along well with Auni in a sort of encouraging older sibling sort of role. Especially since Neve has very much taken a shine to the bugs of Kilima and its surrounding areas. They enjoy identifying and catching them with Auni and that leads to a lot of bonding. :]
My Palia OC, Neve Mochan! I originally posted them on my fandom blog but I've been having a lot more fun with them since then and wanted to show off the fullbody ref they have now!
On the left is their typical outfit! the right is some pajamas! I'm working on some alt outfits for various occasions but these are the ones I have right now! All of the outfits will be based off of in case outfits, though likely tweaked for my art style. Such as the top that Neve wears usually having patterns on the jacket in game, but I liked the flat look better.
y'all are going to see a lot more of this one I have been drawing them so much in the recent months I have a backlog of art haha.
underwear only/doll base under the cut for anyone interested in it as a ref. Or if anyone wants to play dress up I suppose . You just have to show me if you do!
Couldn't find this piece on the blog so I assume I never showed y'all where Reif, Lage, and Keel came from! i was brewing some childhood friends for Neirin like a year ago rip
