Progress In My Rock Garden

I’m not entirely sure where this came from. I just felt like doing it.

A Poem for Marshall

Oh Marshall, oh Marshall

Thoust glares at me from thy tower

A precious critter thou art

And mine heart thou hast won

How cute art thou?

The cutest of them all!

Thine angry eyes stare into me

Tempest, with every inch. Of your tiny being

A solemn rage within you as thou reads

Reading, reading the day away aloft in your tower of branches and leaves

Perhaps a word, a line or two

Thou would share

Spilling from thy somber tongue

With stoic tone and angered glare

A poem relaying thou heart and inner monologue

To tell my how thou feels so far from the camp and company

Thy fur is pale and fair as snow

Thy coat of fine blue sky

Thy sullen face and pricing eyes

Doth warm my heart when happy smiles

Spread thine face into a grin

Of deep and honest bubbling joy

Thy heart is truly lightened

Oh Marshall, oh Marshall

With thy grateful smile and happy eyes

Beloved by many a camper great and small

Honored am I to invite thee to my world

My camp, my party, you are welcome always

Info on Velvet Sapphire?? She’s lovely btw

Thank you so much! I am so happy you’re interested in my gem(s)! Ask and you shall receive...

Velvet Sapphire was created for one Fuschia Diamond on the Gemsona amino which I will link here. This Diamond is known for creativity and her matronly/motherly attitude towards her court and fellow diamonds.

🌺 Fuchsia Diamond 🌺 | Wiki | Gemsona Amino Amino

I took a similar approach to Velvet as she is the typical “mom friend” and, though small, she demands a certain amount of respect. She cares for the gems around her, storing all sorts of seemingly random items in her gem “just in case”.

She often takes it upon herself to handle misbehaving gems and, much like children, she often puts them in “time outs” in her time out bubbles for a short period of time. She does let the zircons and jaspers handle the criminal activity of course but not without delivering her own punishment as well;

The patented(lol), Look of Disappointment.

Just like most real moms and kids, its one thing to make mom made its a whole different story when you disappoint her. And that applies here as many gems in Fuschia’s court hate this look more than the bubbles. Especially her own Ruby guard.

She has three Ruby guards all from the same vein in the same kindergarten. The trio (basically triplets) act as her own children. Rambunctious and playful like most RUbies, they’ve seen the inside of the Time Out Bubble many times. If they knew what a mother was, they would agree that Velvet is like a mother to them both in action and relationship.

Like a real mom, Velvet has a LOT of stuff to remember. Meetings, names, gems, stations, events both future and past, her head is full of things she needs to know. This fact, plus the fact that she practically lives in her future vision (she likes to study possible timelines as a hobby) makes her EXTREMELY forgetful. It’s not unusual to see her rushing to meetings or doing something after its due to be done. Ever since she got her Rubies this hasn’t been as much of a problem as they remember a lot for her.

I honestly love her design and her rubies a lot more than I expected. I’m gad you like her too!

Is there like a discord or someplace for character designers and oc designers and artist or something? Idk I just want to share and talk to people outside my Unser circle (my roommate, our friend and my mom)

Maybe I should make one. Would anyone be interested in joining if I did?

Uncertainty About Hosting a Zine (opinions wanted)

Hello everyone! It’s been a year and three days since I last posted. I will make this quick. When Steven Universe ended, I knew I wanted to do two things: host a final gemsona art event on my blog, and host a zine. However, I am reconsidering the zine because of the following:  1. The Corona Virus has made everyone’s lives go completely sideways and upside down. A lot of people are finding themselves very creative, or very much creatively blocked and run down from the stress and isolation. As quarantine drags on and different states/countries are flipping between opening and closing, I am not certain that people will find the inspiration and motivation to participate, especially when school comes around again (see next point). 2. The entire announcement time and creation period would go until the winter. This would be a busy time for students, especially with the new schooling formats due to the virus. Holidays would also take up the time a person may have to make art and/or write. 3. I know other SU zines have done charity and for-profit zines, but I worry about the legalities surrounding the sale of products containing pre-existing characters. I will do more research into this as I want there to be digital merch as well. 4. I am entering my senior year of college. I know that I have to make a cover page and possibly make merch to help with sales for the charity zine. I’m worried about rushing these important things and the quality coming out poorly, or pushing them off because of other priorities. I want to host a zine or SOMETHING, but I don’t know how much traction I will gain with the show’s end and the virus’ toll on everyone’s lives. I want to create a bigger project for us to be proud of, but I don’t know how successful it will be. I will figure something out. If not a zine, maybe a calendar, or screen backgrounds, or a recipe book, or stories with matching artwork, or a mix of things! Maybe it will be strictly SU and SUF, or include gemsonas, or only be gemsonas. I don’t know, but if you feel some way strongly, please do leave me a message on this post, my chat, or send an ask to my inbox. Thank you so much for reading.

So Admiral is visiting Tabk and now I can’t help but imagine Ta k as the old bird’s physical therapist, you know, to help keep him in his best health and stuff cause of his age.

It’s a cute idea.

This should get it's own post tbh

Why do I love Vice Quadrant?

I love the Steam Powered Giraffe's album Vice Quadrant, why? It combines some of my favorite things! I absolutely love the band, and the people in it, and I ADORE space! It's a space-musical? What could be better? I mean, I love these dorks!

the diamonds be like
