[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

OMG xD that is adorable! Yeah, it would probably be a bit heavy for her and it would probably be wiggling all over the place, dragging her around behind it XD

[LokiLeo789]

@Akayaofthemoon I laugh because Evenkite's a character I've already established in a game that I played with my younger cousins. When I told her that Eve's weapon was a pike, she was like 'She uses a fish? That's so weird!'

The sad part is that the fish would be too big and heavy for her to wield. XD

@Loony

You Villain!

[Loony]

@LokiLeo789@Akayaofthemoon
Evenkite meeting Malachite at the bottom of the sea due to being dragged down by the fish whereas otherwise she couldn't even sink.

That warrants me to be a villain? Well, what about this: What if Evenkite and Amber ended up mixing up their weapons by mistake after a fusion?

Imagine the possibilities. >:D

[Akayaofthemoon]

It suddenly got so quiet XD

I'm trying to sort some college related stuff out right now, it's been kind of tiresome, also I can't really think of anything to have Spinel do.

I have sort of been wanting to talk about something I'm a little apprehensive about. I'm assuming everyone here has heard the announcement that Sardonyx is appearing in the show, which is cool, but it got me thinking. I'm not really the betting sort, but if I was I'd probably bet money that Sardonyx is a fusion, that being Sard and Onyx. Don't we already sort of have an Onyx? Can there be more than one?

[Loony]

@21308 Eep, I didn't think of that, 'tis a good point. Then again, we don't know for sure. What do you guys think?

[Akayaofthemoon]

There is speculation if there are more than one of the same kind of gem. On top of that, it is hard to say that it will be a fusion of those two. Just like Pearl and Amethyst form Opal, it is hard to say that it won't be something like that.
To be honest, I hope that Sardonyx would be a fusion of Pearl and Garnet since it hasn't been shown yet or maybe one of the gems and Steven finally fusing.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon A lot of people are spectulating that Sardonyx is Yellow Diamond. Personally, I don't have that feeling, but time will tell. I'd also love to see a fusion between Steven and the gems.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

I don't think it will be Yellow Diamond but I guess we will have to see.
I am still hoping it will be Pearl/Garnet fuse or one of the gems and Steven. I think that would be neat ^-^

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Personally, I'd love to see another fusion, but I'm hoping Sardonyx would be a new gem, but since every Steven Bomb releases a new fusion with it, I doubt that'll be the case.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Yeah, it probably won't be a new gem though that would be interesting.

[Loony]

Well, since nothing much is happening IC and I can't really reply as only one person's posted after I did, I'm going to go doodle Evenkite. Maybe even outline her and -gasp- colour her? Or, god forbid, shade?

Nah, I don't shade unless I'm using crayons or am doing things digitally. And shading on MS Paint is a painfully long process. I envy the people who aren't scared by programs like Sai and GIMP and whatnot.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah, that's what I've been thinking as well. I mean, I'm positive that there are less than 200 types of distinct gemstone, and the gems are heavily implied to be this huge, multi-planet spanning civilization that has fought in large-scale wars with heavy casualties. It's hard to imagine that being possible if your entire species is well under 200 members strong. Also, and this is fairly minor, Rebecca did a Reddit interview a while back and said this. I don't know, I think we have enough to go on to say that there probably is more than one type of each gem, but they probably haven't touched on this in the show because it would get confusing fast.

@Loony I've heard that too. What exactly are people basing that theory on? Sardonyx isn't all that yellow and is in no way a diamond.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

The only reason I think there are more than one kind of the same gem is because there are many different types of quartz, many different colors of pearl, mutli-colored diamonds. It is very possible that is what they mean by the same kind of gem or how they may introduce it.

[Loony]

@21308 Well, I doubt gems only include gemstones traditionally used in jewelry making and also include other crystals (thus Evenkite), but I get your point for sure. And yes, I personally believe that there are other gems of the same name. And I'm thinking it's okay to keep Onyx: If Sardonyx does turn out to be a fusion between two gems being Onyx and Sard, our Onyx would've technically been made before it. I mean, think of how many people have made OCs for Ruby, Sapphire, Peridot, Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, and now Sardonyx before they were introduce into the series?

As for that, a bunch of people think that there were four leaders given the respective title as 'diamonds' due to Homeworld's symbol being a diamond and the one picture in Sworn to the Sword with four coloured diamonds; Yellow, Pink, Blue, and White, so now people are theorizing that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond, and that this Sardonyx fellow is the aforementioned Yellow Diamond who Peridot and Jasper serve. Personally, I think it's a little to early to make such assumptions as we don't really have much hard evidence, but time will tell.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

The show will reveal all, till then I have no worries ^-^

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Good point.

Anyways, to the doodles! Would you guys mind if I drew your characters as well? I sorta wanna draw Gilles freaking our and giggling like an idiot over the fact that holy crap Sodalite can speak EVERYTHING even French ankejfnksdnfgkdgnmk

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Sure, I would love to see your drawings if possible ^-^

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Thanks! I've got some really inconsistent styles, and definitely don't have the hang of the SU one. My most frequently used style is this cartoony one, but I'm not very good with it. Still trying to figure it out. I'm only really good at chibi, which is basically the only style I've used up until about...Maybe...Two months ago? o______o

Well, I did draw anime (really poorly, I may add) for a short period of time, but I just didn't like it as much as chibi and by grade 7/8 I stopped drawing it altogether. I've only really been drawing since grade 6, and my drawings are still not very good (my chibis are nice, I guess), but eh. XD

If I do decide to outline them (my sketches are super messy and look like nothing but a mess of scribbles to anyone but me so uploading those is nOPE) I will let you see, if you like.

[21308]

@Loony Oh wow that sounds freaking amazing. If you need anything to go off of besides the description I gave her, I imagined her being about 5 feet even, which I figured would make her pretty short although in this group maybe not :p. I Googled 'cute ghost girl' for visual aids but pretty much all the pictures were pretty childlike as opposed to the fairy-like appearance I had envisioned.
