@zawa-ro‘s OCs make me ridiculously happy and I don’t draw them nearly enough. This is BB Agate, aka Baby Blue ♡

[berrrieberrie]

“Hm...I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an Agate as well made and stunning as you...”

“W-Well, I must say, w-while I myself k-know this to be true, coming f-from such a sturdy, refined, and perfect Quartz, I-I am quite h-honored-”

“Come, why not do me this honor, and share this dance with me~”

Jaspblue in B3 from this meme as requested by @zawa-ro ! I got carried away a bit, but I had so much fun with this! This became an unexpected continuation of this post, where Jasper is relaxing at a Cosmic Jubilee, now, where Holly Blue is also in attendance. Since I don’t really wanna stuff this post too much, any other details will go in a later post (perhaps).

Gemling Wrestling Federation

I recently got inspired by @ventace​ and their AMAZING playlist post regarding my good friend @zawa-ro and her gemlings. As i read the list i got my own idea, what songs would represent the Gemlings if they were wrestlers?

As Zawa’s #1 Fan and Friend, join me as i categorize each Gemling’s Career as a wrestler through the amazing power of song.

Amebeast (Face)

Song: “Booyaka 619″

With her Boundless Confidence and Ferocious Attitude and Costume, I have no doubt Amebeast would strut to the ring with her arms stretched as she goads on the cheers of her fans as she gets into the ring and takes off her helmet to show they are stuck with the BEAST.

Big Blue (Heel)

Song: “Next Big Thing”

Big Blue doesn't want to defeat her opponent, she wants them to kneel at her feet through pure Agate intimidation. As she strides towards the ring along with the beat with every step, cracking her whip and never breaking eye contact with her opponent. Her #1 Fan Citrine in the crowd cheering her on and REALLY enjoying the vibration’s from her song

Carnie (Heel)

Song: “Crank It Up”

One of the only wrestlers with a Persona, Carnie likes to take her time as she walks to the ring as the big bad bearded human here to steal all the gems, flexing her muscles and pointing and winking at the crowd even as they boo her as the foreign invader.

Light Amethyst (Heel)

Song: “Bad Reputation”

Light Amethyst doesn't give a DAMN. She walks towards that ring flipping everyone off and making lewd gestures as the crowd boos her. She soaks it all in because any attention is good attention.

Soft Jasper (Face)

Song: “Fabulous”

Wrestling is one of the few places Soft Jasper can let loose and show her sisters what she’s really made of and she’s REALLY good at it. She struts towards the ring flaunting what she’s got but also waving to the fans in the audience to let them know the champ has returned.

BB Agate (Babyface)

Song:  “Turn It Up”

The babiest of babyfaces, BB just wants everyone to be friends and wants everyone to love each other even while wrestling. She smiles brightly and waves ecstatically as she bounces her way too the ring, she may not win many matches but that doesn't stop her from still having fun.

Adam Blue Demayo (Face)

Song: “I Am a Real American”

As the only earthling and the only MAN in the GWF, Andy knows he has a lot to proves, so he knows he has to give it his all just like his dad. Giving his best performance of ripping off his pilot’s jacket, revealing he’s just as buff and ready to throw down as his sisters while also high-fiving any eager fan on the way to the ring because he’s the people’s champion. But he’s not wrestling for himself, he’s doing it for his friends, his family, and AMERICA!!!

This was a lot of fun to think up and i got to listen to a lot of badass songs in the process, i hope y’all enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed making it.

Especially you Zawa :D

[ventace]

So, for quite a while now, I’ve had the idea to put together mini playlists for each of the Fameblue gemlings created by @zawa-ro, but I actually finally forced myself to stop thinking about it, and actually get it done.

I’ve also made a bonus playlist for Adam. Even though he’s not Fameblue, he’s often associated with them, and there’s been tons of inquiries to zawa about the hypothetical scenario in which the Fameblue kids meet him, so...

Anyways, I’m rambling. This is gonna be a long post, since I’m also gonna be posting pictures, and detailing my reasons behind the songs I picked, so it’ll be under a cut.

First up, we have Amebeast. Before doing this list, I didn’t have too much of an idea as to what her personality was like, so I went and asked zawa about it. I was informed that Amebeast is the charismatic leader who protects others, and has lots of fun.

Armed with this knowledge, I went to find songs with implications of being a hero, or protecting others in some way, and included some that are high-energy and fun.

1. “The Awakening” - Onlap

2. “The Hero!!” - JAM Project

3. “Home” - Phillip Phillips

4. “Run With Us” - Lisa Lougheed

5. “Live to Rise” - Soundgarden

6. “Open Your Heart” - Crush 40

Next up, we have Big Blue Agate. She’s one of the main characters over at zawa’s blog, and most people who follow them know her. The second in Holly’s first litter, she is a master of fantastic facial expressions and not giving a fuck.

To reflect this, I armed her playlist with songs that showcase that attitude, but I also threw in two songs to describe her blossoming relationship with that charming citrine guard.

1. “Beez in the Trap” - Nicki Minaj

2. “Alright” - Supergrass

3. “Bad Reputation” - Joan Jett

4. “Motherfucker Got Fucked Up” - Folk Uke

5. “Accidentally in Love” - Counting Crows

6. “Paralyzer” - Finger Eleven

Moving on, we have Carnie. This gal strikes me as someone who likes to be front-and-center; she’s got confidence, and she’s never afraid to express it to anyone, much to her sisters’ chagrin sometimes.

Since that’s what I’m going off of, I filled Carnie’s playlist with songs that are all full of confidence and absolute fun, with one containing a reference to how she hopes she never has to deal with anything too bad.

1. “I’m Too Sexy” - Right Said Fred

2. “Fashionista” - Jimmy James

3. “Stayin’ Alive” - The Beegees

4. “Don’t Stop Me Now” - Queen

5. “The Impression That I Get” - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

6. “Scream” - Cee Lo Green

Next, we have everyone’s favorite spoiled brat, Light Amethyst! Now, we all know she’s spoiled, as I said, as well as crass and obnoxious, but there’s another facet to her that I explored for her playlist: her lonely side. zawa said Light has always been the loneliest of the Fameblue kids, so I decided to go with that facet (ha, unintentional pun) of her.

As such, her playlist is full of songs that set a somber, lonely tone. The last song provides some measure of happiness for her; is it directed at her mother? Her sisters? That adorable, bratty daughter of hers? Only Light can say for sure.

1. “Welcome to My Life” - Simple Plan

2. “I Need Some Sleep” - Eels

3. “Nobody Home” - Pink Floyd

4. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” - Creedence Clearwater Revival

5. “Heaven (Reincarnation Version)” - Shihoko Hirata

6. “Thank You” - Dido

Soft Jasper is up next, and she’s ready to rumble! She’s the luchador supreme, and she’s ready to defend her family with everything she’s got, so don’t you mess with her! But she’s also quite nice and sweet with her sisters, hence her name.

Since she’s so very much like a wrestler aesthetically, I threw a wrestler’s theme on here for her. Taking from the luchador element, I threw in a track from Rodrigo y Gabriela. Aside from that, I also put in a song that represents her love for her family, and one of the most inspirational tracks to ever come out of a sports movie.

A fun fact about this list is that it’s the only one with instrumental tracks on it! Also, for reference, Dyna Blade is a character from the Kirby franchise; she’s very protective of her family, hence why her theme from one of the games is on here.

1. “The Wall (Mark Henry’s Theme)” - Heet Mob

2. “Diablo Rojo” - Rodrigo y Gabriela

3. “Eye of the Tiger” - Survivor

4. “Dyna Blade” - Multiple Composers

5. “We Are Family” - Sister Sledge

6. “Water From the Moon” - David Lanz

Last up in the Fameblue lineup (but most certainly not least!) is the precious BB Agate! She’s the epitome of the word “sweetheart”, with tons of love and happiness that she just can’t resist spreading to everyone around her.

The songs on her playlist reflect that irresistible sweetness, containing some of the best tracks about loving others and cheering them up, and having fun with your pals, as well as just being happy about the world around her and being hopeful for the future.

1. “Lean On Me” - Bill Withers

2. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” - Simon & Garfunkel

3. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” - Israel “Iz” Kamakiwo’ole

4. “Fix You” - Coldplay

5. “Heart of Life” - I Fight Dragons

6. “Raincloud Chill” - Brad Breeck

As promised, here’s the bonus Adam Blue DeMayo playlist! He seems like an honest, hardworking guy who enjoys the simple things in life, and loves his family with all of his heart.

His playlist is full of things concerning family, being happy, and enjoying some relaxation time while listening to the world around him. Since he’s often the target of much adoration due to his dapper outfits, I also threw in a song in reference to that!

1. “Simple Man” - Shinedown

2. “Working Man” - Rush

3. “Sharp Dressed Man” - ZZ Top

4. “My Hero” - Foo Fighters

5. “Happy” - Pharrell Williams

6. “Fat Old Sun” - Pink Floyd

And that about does it, folks! This was a real nice challenge to give myself, but it was fun, too (especially coming up with Carnie’s playlist). I hope people like all of these playlists! Have a nice day/afternoon/evening/night, y’all!
