@the-harvester
i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.
“Why do you beat yourself up so much over little mistakes?”
This is such a good illustration of emotional abuse
Just a reblog to spread the most UN noticed abuse, be aware
and reminder for everyone to be patient with your loved ones who apologize constantly, or have a really emotional reaction to something that seems insignificant to you.
Another post that breaks my theme. But I really like seeing problems myself and other people have being explained in such a wonderful way
free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence
Let's Not Talk About Our Feelings. Out now 💖
Let's Not Talk About Our Feelings
having a resting bitchface is so funny because i'll be doing something relaxing, and really enjoying myself and my face will look like this
As a newcomer to your story, who are the main cast of characters that I should be familiar with? I know the mc is a Hematite, but I'm not familiar with the rest Also might be a silly question, but you've mentioned the Diamonds in the past. Are these the same Diamonds as the canon ones from SU, or are they new, original versions exclusive to the Harvester?
We'll address the second part of the question first since it's shorter! [and no question is silly! We love any asks we get out of genuine curiosity :3]
They are NOT the same versions as Steven Universe's canon! They are completely original versions, and were designed based on the statues in the Sky Arena of SU.
TL;DR on the bios [taken straight from @gemsontherocks ]: White is the mysterious, stand-offish scientist. Yellow is the militant and workaholic inventor. Blue is easy-going and doesn't seem to take her Diamond duties seriously.
Yellow is the 'closest' to Canon SU's Diamonds, but don't let her appearance fool you, underneath that familiar exterior is a VASTLY different gem than SU Yellow.
Actually I take it back, Pink is the closest to SU, but even she has some key differences!
-----
NOW for the first part! [Since this post will already be large, no references in the replies FOR NOW, but rest assured character bios pages are in the future.~]
It's a big cast of characters, but it's drip-fed through the arcs and doesn't bombard you all at once!
Obviously you have the Diamonds above, and you know of Hema already, but the story is somewhat divided into three 'groups' of characters. These groups interact frequently, but have clear divisions that make them feel like sub-casts. [But if a gem intersects enough with two groups that they could be counted in both, I'm putting them in both!
You have the "Diamond Prism" gems You have the "Hematite Kindergarten" gems And then you have "The Civilians".
[There's technically a fourth group but they're not on Homeworld and won't show up until arc 10-11 so we're leaving them a surprise]
The Diamond Prism Main Characters: Hema, Red the Pink Pearl [Arc 5], White Diamond, Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond The Diamond Prism Secondary Characters: Rubes the Ruby [new addition], Morganite, Frecks the Peridot, Hacker the Hackmanite, General Topaz, White Pearl, Yellow Pearl, Blue Pearl
The Hematite Kindergarten Main Characters: Hemmi [Hematite 2], Tam [Hematite 4], Mite [Hematite 5], Meta [Hematite 6] [old model below], Mati [Hematite 7], Mago [Hematite 9], Hita [Hematite 10], Ti [Hematite 14], Tiny [Hematite 15], Kyan the Kyanite, Morganite, Frecks the Peridot, + 2 Redacted characters The Hematite Kindergarten Secondary Characters: Big Guy [Hematite 1], Tita [Hematite 2], Tae [Hematite 8], Spike [Hematite 12], HT [Hematite 13]
The Civilians Main Characters: Morganite, Eka the Ekanite, Sphal the Sphalerite, Frecks the Peridot, Hacker the Hackmanite [incomplete] The Civilians Secondary Characters: Rubes the Ruby, Puff the Jasper [incomplete]
Cast Size Chart [with some members missing! This chart is incomplete]
From left to right: General Topaz, Morganite, Blue Diamond, [newling Hema behind BD], Yellow Diamond, Hema, White Diamond [old model], Red the Pink Pearl, Eka the Ekanite, Sphal the Sphalerite, Hita, [Big Guy in the background], Tiny, Hacker the Hackmanite, Mati, Frecks the Peridot, Meta, Mago, Kyan the Kyanite, Tam, Mite, Ti
Since there's so many characters, and to tell you about all of them would make this far too bloated and would ruin some of the magic of experiencing the story as a new reader, for the time being, have their character designs and make up your own assumptions about them! Always a fun game before you properly meet them in the story.~
Who has changed the absolute MOST, either as a character or in their impact on the story, since the rewrite began? And if you CAN say so, how? :3c
HMHMHM, oh you picked this for the spoiler-lenient night, eh?
Very well.~
[MINOR AND MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE HARVESTER: REWRITE]
--------
Normally we'd say that Hemmi changed the most in the rewrite, but that's not entirely accurate if we're counting their /impact on the story/.
If we're counting Character AND their impact, it's Red.
Red, in Legacy, had no opinions of her own, was immediately understanding and affectionate with Hema as his partner and Pearl, and had very little personality. Not in an interesting way... but just because she was fighting CZ, who's the one who owns/writes her.
But in the rewrite... Red has edges. She has texture, goals, personality, complexity, and we have a very clear image of where she started, and where she wants to go. All we have to do is throw complications in her way.
When she first meets Hema, she's still polite, compliant, follows whatever Hema tells her to do, and keeps her mouth shut when her opinion isn't asked for. And, sometimes, even when it IS asked for. Because a Pearl is 'meant to be seen, not heard.' That's what Nacre's drilled into the pretty head of every one of her Pearls, and that's what Red sticks to, to survive.
But then things... change. And her goals shift. And, it's no exaggeration to say that without her... Hema would not have survived a certain arc. She saves his life more times than we can count, and she went from one of the least interesting, most 'go with the flow' characters in TH... to being, arguably, just as important as /the Diamonds/.
I remember seeing that since harvesting has changed the whole initial incident between Hema and Yellow has too. In the legacy version even after they officially made up there was still smaller incidents that caused flares in tension, like with the mouth-holding trick and when Hema pretended to threaten her in prison after he got framed.
Will those events not be happening in the newer version as well then? I assume the framing arc will in some capacity, but how different will things be?
OHOHOHO that's a delightful question~
[MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NEW READERS AHEAD]
-------
ALL of these events still happen >:3c It's just that the execution of said events may be a bit different. Hema still protects Yellow against her will while big, and he still threatens her while in his cell later on.
You'll find that many [but not all] of the key character events still happen in the rewrite, but they're shifted around or placed in a different scenario to make them hit harder or make more sense. MOST characters will have /more/ canon events that effect their relationships, rather than less.
SO YES, almost all of the events between Hema and Yellow still happen, you just won't know when/how for some of them~
Burnt out from drawing all day, need to take a break, send us some questions! We're feeling spicy so we might be lenient on spoilers again :3c
Sven Sauer - Deviation
The installation consists of 1,200 glass shards, each of which is aligned by hand. The train is moved centimeter by centimeter and each new glass shard is turned into the correct position so that the beam of light is directed to the next glass shard. As soon as the train starts moving, this creates a chain reaction of light...
In a super good mood and feel chatty cuz there's a cozy thunderstorm outside!
Ask us anything about TH and the Rewrite and we'll answer! We might even be a bit more lenient with spoiler questions for tonight only ;3
Extending this to the end of today! Give us your burning questions >:3
So in the case of the previous mentioned yellow and hema instead of her going off and having nightmares about him essentially eating her and harvesting her like she did in the legacy version after there fight when she was avoiding him
Is she instead gonna sulk and close herself off out of embarrassment of having her essentially her dirty laundry thrown out into the open whilst dealing with her actual deep seated issues towards hema and probably pink?
Even though we will not have "nightmare chapters" like in Legacy, Yellow's state in arc 2 of the rewrite will still be just as bad, Yellow will just be a little better at covering it. It will be communicated in subtext and off-screen details instead of us seeing her going through most of The Horrors. But... Perhaps The Horrors will follow her to the real world whether she likes it or not.
[In addition, arcs 2-3 will feature much more Hematite-focused chapters, so our eyes will generally be on the Diamond Prism less than Legacy.]
And
Perhaps.
Her issues with Hema... started long before he even emerged from the ground, and run deeper than him pulling a little public stunt to embarrass her.
So are yellow and hema gonna have the same "testy" relationship at the beginning like they did in the original?
Are they also still gonna have there big fight which scared/traumatised yellow again?
How will that work anyways given how harvesting has changed and the whole vore element isnt there anymore
[Slight rewrite spoilers ahead!]
Yellow Diamond will be reprising her role as our first 'antagonist' in arcs 1-2 just like in Legacy, yes! Her methods of keeping Hema in line look a little different than before [though she's still going to do her 'spars' with him that she uses to mentally wear him down], but the effects are the same as the old version.
The Incident is also still intact as a canon event for the both of them- however, you're right! The old method of harvesting isn't as prevalent anymore. There is no threat of harvesting, but instead, The Incident is a bit more nuanced of an event in the rewrite.
In the Rewrite, Hema does not face off against Yellow to threaten her and make some ridiculous speech about hunters and hunted [he cringes every time we bring it up lmao], but instead... he uses this rematch to bring Yellow's abuse out in the open, to humiliate her, and to get /answers/ from her. He wants to know why she treats him so terribly, and to get back at her for everything she's done.
How would you describe Hematites to those unfamiliar? I know the mc will be one and would love to know more
Generation "Three" Hematites were presented (much to Yellow Diamond's displeasure) to help with:
Post-war rebel and corrupted gem clean-up
Providing energy to a growing electricity shortage crisis
Exploring massive planets with dangerous flora and fauna
Being the ultimate "harvesters": gems who hunt and collect other gems as a job
Being big enough to handle mass destruction jobs, but also small enough to handle espionage and stealth
White proposed they create a small test batch of these size-shifting, lightning-wielding, keenly-sensed super-gems. To see if they were possible with their post-war technology. Yellow tried to talk White into creating giant Androids instead to do some of these things, but they found the resources and logistics too complicated. Thus, the Diamond Authority agreed she could make one batch of 15 generation 3 Hematites, to see how they performed. After all, generation 2 didn't go. Well.
The results? A varied group of sharp-minded hunters, with different skills, personalities, builds, and maximum heights. By gem standards... perhaps a bit too varied. Some were quiet and calculated, while others were prone to violent tendencies. So, White put them to the test. The only one to pass with flying colors... was our MC, Hematite 11. The smallest and weakest of the batch. What he lacked in speed, agility, strength, stamina... sight.... hearing.... everything, really, he made up for with tenacity and very importantly, diplomacy and gentleness.
So White takes him home as her new bodyguard (and science experiment to study) in chapter 1, and this addition to the Diamond Authority's very selective workers promises to harken in a new era for the Diamonds, as they've never allowed such an experimental gem into their midst.
A gem that is so well-mannered, polite, powerful, and-
...
flawed?
No. No, surely she got it right this time. White wouldn't make the same mistake twice. There's no way these Hematites, in their confusing jungle of code, are harboring the same fatal flaw as the second generation, right? They're. Stable. Nothing bad will happen if they get destabilized inside the walls of the Diamond Authority-
. . . Right?
... What happens when you give a weapon a sense of morality?
When you make a monster self-aware?
And then welcome it into your house?
Hmmm. Any chance we can get some info about the test targets? Are they gonna be the same as in legacy?
OHOOO An interesting question!
They are NOT the same!
Aggie no longer is Hema's target in chapter 1's test... It's someone else.
Someone that we've seen elsewhere in Legacy.
Someone that didn't make an appearance until arc 5. And then again in arc 6.
Someone... That we've spoiled many times in art in TH's history.
In a super good mood and feel chatty cuz there's a cozy thunderstorm outside!
