[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Take your time and no rush. ^_^

[Kronshi]

6-7 hour drive and I'll be home. I'll be on regularly after I finally get to my precious house.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Kronshi

Have a good drive home ^_^ stay safe and we can't wait to see you back on more

Just as a heads up to everyone. I may not have internet till Saturday. I'm using the last bit of data on my phone and then I will have none :(

[Kronshi]

@Loony
I feel this is you.

[Loony]

@Kronshi

Ignoring the fact that I don't like girls, boys, or anything in between, the fact that I've never once touched Netflix in my life, that I'm pretty much terrified of wearing any colour other than brown, black, or grey, and the fact that I'm too socially awkward to give such a straightforward response, then yes, this is indeed me. XD

Birbs. O v O

Birds, bugs, and bats. The holy trinity of animal groups. Reptiles too, and bugs are technically just one type of insect while I refer to creepy crawlies in general, but they break the alliteration.

@Loony

You should come to my house if you love bats. We get like three every day hanging in the rafters of my porch. They are adorable.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon
That's not a thing that happens in Canada unfortunately. I think I've seen four bats outside of captivity in my entire lifetime here maximum. In Kurdistan, there were so many, even in the huge cities, and we'd also have at least three perch on our balcony. I remember going on some amusement park rides and having bats fly alongside me...And yes, they are adorable. > W <

I feel like convincing people that creepy-crawlies are adorable on the other hand will take some work, but I got my super squeemish friend to change her views on them. XD

@Loony

Spiders will never be okay. Other things don't bother me but spiders will never be okay. I mean did you see what Bloodstone sent? That is right...spiders of the robo. Nope spiders are not my friends

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

But I LOVE spiders! D:

I wasn't a fan of them (always loved other creepy crawlies though) until I got to know this older kid named Conner through another another friend also named Conner, who was pretty much obsessed with spiders, and he'd go around the schoolyard finding different spiders and trying to educate people about them, and I eventually grew to love them as well. And also, there was this one infamous bully who the teachers never did anything about, and had me cornered once, but then ran away before he could even lay a hand on me. I realised it was because a spider was crawling nearby, so I learned to ward him away by staying around spiders. > W <

And jumping spiders are actually the cutest little things ever and they're incredibly smart as well and anfjkdfkds I love spiders I'm sorry I'll stop talking about them.

[21308]

I love bats and spiders, I find them pretty cute. I like the way that spiders will just sit there and chill, all spidery and stuff.

Guys spidery is a word.

[Loony]

@21308

Except jumping spiders aren't that chill but are curious little cats~

[21308]

@Loony Yes, but jumping spiders are harmless and insanely cute. I mean, just look at em:

Hider

[Loony]

@21308

I know they're such little derps aghdfjkgnkdg

Also though maybe not post them without a hider since Akaya is nOPE towards spiders? Eep it's just a thought orz

Look at this cutie

[21308]

@Loony Oh, good idea. I love how surprised they always look by default, so it seems like that one doesn't even notice the water droplet.

[Loony]

@21308
They're all such dorks afndfksdf jumping spiders are my favourite spiders.
I also just love how not-chill they are. Like most spiders just are doing their own thing and don't like to be bothered while jumping spiders are just like 'hi there friend!'

O w O

[21308]

@Loony Yeah, it makes me wish I got to see them more. I wish I knew enough to say what kind of spiders live in and near my house but all I can call them is those smallish brown ones. I like how they aren't even aggressive, if you get too close to them they're just like 'pardon me human I'll just lazily shuffle away from you.' Also I just realized how much I need to draw Spinel with jumping spider eyes.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

You know Kyanite could have spider type eyes. We just said she had four not what they looked like...just throwing that out there lol

[Loony]

Fun fact: Orginal Dork Duo (Idocrase and Kornerupine) fusion, Variscite, had eight eyes and eight limbs, because we tried to make her spidey-like. XD

[Loony]

@21308

One of favourite thing about spiders is that you could tell who was a tourist and who was not in Kurdistan because people would freak out over spiders 'chasing them in Iraq' when really they're just chasing the shadows they casted. XD

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah, that's always a possibility. My inspiration for it came from how spiders have such large, surprised eyes like I want Spinel to have, only less round.

@Loony That's pretty hilarious. I'm aware of the arachnids liking shadows thing but to be honest I'm not sure how I'd react if I saw a large spider or camel spider getting too close to me, in my experience some creepy-crawlies get too affectionate with me and get mad when I try to shake them off, I'd hate to experience that with something terribly large.

Also who are Idocrase and Kornerupine they sound great!
