[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Loony]

@21308 That's something that I actually took from Rut, ironically enough, because as previously said, Original Eve was actually very passionate and loyal to Homeworld before Quin came and completely changed her view on herself and Homeworld, but ye. It was shared by all of Eve's crew but Rut was the only one who had this mentality from the start. And yeah, I could tell Spinel nOPED a lot at the start as well.

Actually, there are little pieces of Eve's old crewmates scattered into her character. They're really tiny, but they're there.

And anfkdgndkfgkdfgjk please let this happen. XD

[Loony]

@21308 Also, care to share what you think about the word in the hider from earlier? @ V @ I want to hear theories before it's posted...And also it might help motivate me to get this thing done because it's really long and I'm not going to shorten it nOPE I'm sorry but I just can't Orz

[21308]

@Loony HMM, well, do we have any confirmation that Talc was actually born in the Kindergarten? I don't remember. Maybe the word disposable has something to do with why he's actually there.

And that's kind of funny, and another way in which our writing styles are similar. So Spinel isn't much like Original Eve, but still in some ways a little similar to Current Eve. They probably would have been nope buddies if I hadn't taken Spinel in the direction she's going now. Original Eve actually sounds kind of like Original Original Spinel, now that I think of it. The version of Spinel from Thing That Will Not Be Named was really loyal to homeworld to start off with too, but wasn't always intended to be that way.

[Loony]

@21308 Talc was not born in the Kindergarten, and also, Talc is a she. It does indirectly have to do with why she's there but that's not quite what I'm getting at either. @ V @

And wow, these two are like, almost like actual altiverse versions of each other, in a weird way, except that they're not. XD

[Kronshi]

@Loony She was probably a servant gem like Pearl that was forced to go with Bloodstone.

She was considered weak and disposable which had her sent to, what Yellow Diamond saw as, her death. This caused her to hate Home-World and probably only kept in touch with Bloodstone because he didn't see her as worthless since he viewed each soldier as a valuable aspect of the team.

[21308]

@Loony Aaaaaaaaaaa I knew that but I forgot! For some reason I subconsciously assign male pronouns to that name. And yay I guessed something right!

Yeah, now I'm sure that Calyx Spinel and Origninal Eve would have gotten along great. Ughhh I maintain that I'm not that sad that the RP itself failed but there were some characters from it that I really hope I'll still get to use someday.

[Loony]

@Kronshi Servant? Perhaps, in a sense, but not quite. And it was established she was a Crystal Gem, but the Bloodstone thing...We can work that part out in the collab if it does end up being a thing, but ye. I was actually thinking she would've been with Aquamarine, but ye.

Wow, I'm surprised it hasn't clicked yet though. Makes me feel really giddy, I want to reveal it now so badly. XD
Remember, it doesn't just apply to Talc, it applies equally to Eve as well, and for the same reasons.

[Kronshi]

@Loony Well when they first came to Earth there were no Home-World and Crystal side. There were just Bloodstone's soldiers and the gems that came with Rose. Blood probably even recruited Garnet. So unless Rose brought Talc along, she was recruited by Blood or offered to Blood as servants by Yellow Diamond.

[Akayaofthemoon]

What have I missed?

[Salt Me Senpai]

@Akayaofthemoon
same what have i missed too?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Salt Me Senpai

You have missed sadness that I know for sure but I don't what has been talked about OOC wise.

You will need to do some reading. We had Howlite's death happen

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Don't think you've missed anything RP wise. We talked about some Eve stuff and theories on her friend Talc.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Oh awesome sauce ^_^

[Loony]

@Kronshi I'm sorry, I didn't see your edit. Well, you are getting somewhere, she was seen as disposable and weak, and she saw herself as being sent to her death, and of course everyone served Homeworld before the Rebellion, but she doesn't resent Homeworld for the way they viewed her, because not only did she see herself as such as well, but, well, that'd reveal the big reveal if I do say it here. ^ ^"

And now you've given me an idea, a great idea, multiple ideas, and now I'm going to have to work this out, give me a few minutes. Talc may end up not being a Crystal Gem after all now that I've been given these ideas, and if she does, well, she's certainly going to have a past with Bloodstone. I want it to happen now. I have so many ideas. And if the subject of Talc ever comes up again around Bloodstone...Abfkdk I need to think this through, but first, the post.

@21308 It's alright, just know that literally everyone but Microcline was given female pronouns before I joined her, because I felt uncomfortable with the idea of male gems since none were revealed in the show. I'd have made Quin and Eve be dudes had I not felt this way, but now it's weird to think of either as anything but.

And who knows, maybe we'll have our own idea for a SU RP in the future. ' w '

[21308]

@Loony Yeah, that's how I felt too. I'm pretty sure Rebecca has said that strictly speaking gems don't have genders, it's just they pretty much all appear in a way humans would perceive as female, but I don't think she's ever specifically said that there are no gems with masculine traits.

And yeah, you never know!

[Loony]

@21308 Yeah...Baryte was actually my first male gem, being here just got me feeling more normal about the concept. Microcline used they/them.
^ ^"

One day. XD

No but oh my god all the possibilities now that Kronshi brought that up...

[Akayaofthemoon]

I can't wait to see more of Talc and more posts ^_^ I know I need to get Aqua reforming but it is hard on just my little phone and I can't use my tablet right now

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Well, we'll be seeing more Talc, and ye...At this point I'm scared that I'm not going to get this post ready today if I don't scrap the reveal though, and I want the IC to be able to move, especially while I'm gone, so...What do you guys think? Should I make the very long post with the reveal with the expense of holding up the IC while I'm gone, or a much shorter post without the reveal today?

[Akayaofthemoon]

Whatever you feel is best Loony. I trust you.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I just don't want to stall the IC, especially with how much I've done so in the past and because it's going much more Sonic as of late, and I'm sure there will be other -and even better- moments to bring this up, and maybe it'd be better to leave it for then.
