Blue Diamond: Able To Remember The Fusion That Was Formed By A Ruby And A Sapphire During An Otherwise

“Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!”

— Raven

You laughed at the “old Universe charm” line, but then you see Greg’s son basically charm a whole town, a group of renegade rebels, space pirates, and two alien supreme leaders to his side and you realize, goddamn, he’s right.

Edit: Let’s not forget the utter devastation Greg left in PD’s human zoo.

Okay so

I keep seeing everyone talking about how kick-butt Lapis was in the latest episode, and while I DEFINITELY agree, let’s not ignore some of the other chararacters-

First of all, there’s Garnet

Despite clearly being affected/weakened by Blue Diamond’s power, she still was able to hold her ground and fight back

And before you mention Lapis and Connie, they weren’t affected, the power had no hold on them, Garnet WAS, and yet here she is, still going strong and not letting it knock her down

Not to mention, she was also able to stay fused, while Alexandrite-

As you can clearly see, wasnt

Furthermore, she did all of this after her wedding was ruined?? You go girl!

Then there’s Pearl, whose whole strategy for thousands of years was “do it for her” and just recently “do it for him”

She’s always fought for someone else, never herself. She never thought herself was a worthy enough reason to be fighting for, so she devoted herself to others instead, that is until this episode, where she proudly exclaims “I DO IT FOR ME!” Like alright Pearl!

Then there’s Connie, who, despite being a mere human, saw that her friends were all in trouble and was totally ready to take down Blue Diamond ON HER OWN

And let’s not forget this was the lonely, shy girl we met back in season one!

It’s amazing seeing how far she’s come since then :)

And finally, as comical as this scene was, let’s all take a moment to look back and remember how freaked out and terrified Peridot was when she first called Yellow Diamond a clod

She was so scared she’d come for her and shatter her on the spot

But now, here she is, running up to Yellow Diamond, IN PERSON, once again calling her a clod to her face

Like, that takes some guts

Bottom line is, I think these guys deserve some acknowledgment as well

Blue: You cannot fathom what thousands of years of grief has done to me!

Lapis: That's so sad Peridot play despacito

Though I haven’t drawn Wildebeest yet (deciding if I should make him a corrupted gem in regards to his animal-like appearance), for now here’s the rest of the Titans South team for the TTGem AU.

Thanks again to wigglytoughazshit for the gem suggestions (They’ve made a good suggestion for Jericho, who I’ll draw at some point. ^_^), though I ended up changing Pantha’s gem to Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl after some thinking.

To suit Pantha’s build, I figured her being a quartz gem would suit her better than the one I had previously chosen over the original suggestion. Also, Cat’s Eye suits her name much better. :3

You guys probably already saw my Hotspot/Ruby post, so he doesn’t need much of an introduction. But if you didn’t, it has my explanation of why he doesn’t look like the Ruby from canon.

Since Herald didn’t have much personality development in season 4, it’s a little hard to describe him. But I do like his outfit in the series. :P I’ll do a little research & see what I find on how he acts in canon.

Fuck this…

… now i’m attracted to an animated character

What the fuck could they be talking about? “And it turned out my last order was not to talk about it, can you imagine?” “Yeah gurl, my last order was a pizza with every toppings”

lance gets his hands on washable space markers and starts leaving little notes on keith’s helmet

they start off as jokes or silly, lighthearted insults or funny faces and drawings, but then they slowly turn into soft, loving messages like “be safe out there” or “come back for me” and a hundred “i love yous” scrawled on every inch of free space

I know everyone’s gone crazy about the wedding and the diamonds

But can we just appreciate:

The true star of Steven Universe.

Voltron actor AU where everything’s the same but Voltron is a live-action TV show and the paladins are actors:

Their names are the same in real life. They go by different names in the show. 

Keith and Lance still have a “rivalry.” Red and Blue didn’t originally have it, but when the cast first met and the directors saw how Keith and Lance interacted, they wanted to write it in. 

Shiro’s arm is still a prosthetic, although the scar is fake.

sometimes the makeup crew forgets the scar. literally no one notices until it’s the end of filming

“Shiro…” “Huh?” “…they forgot the sca–” “are yOU FUC–”

 Shiro, Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Allura all do their own stunts. 

Pidge is only 17 and their mom won’t sign the waiver for them to do their own stunts. 

No one really knows how their little production company was able to afford hiring Allura, who’s a big time actress and super talented.

they eventually find out that she’s a giant mecha/space nerd and came to /them/ asking for a role and willing to do it for free

No one really knows if Coran has a script or if he was told to just say whatever

Lance calls Keith “Red” so often that Keith thinks Lance has forgotten his name

he hasn’t.

The paladins, Allura, Coran, and basically all the actors boycott after season 2, demanding retribution for the way they wrote Hunk and Lance’s characters. 

Hunk has an engineering degree in real life.  

Matt isn’t Pidge’s real life brother, but when they first meet it goes something like: “baby sister!” “big brother!” and they end up inseparable.

Pidge’s mother is known for calling Pidge at work just to talk to her son, Matt 

Hunk and Shay’s on-screen chemistry was actually a real thing. Shay was cast at the same time that she was working in the costume/design department, so they’d known each other since the show started. 

they’re dating now

Every time Lance’s character hits on Allura’s on-screen Lance spends five minutes defending Blue’s character after filming 

“he just craves attention, okay? he just wants love!! he’s smart and beautiful and wants to belonG”

despite this, Lance is basically his character minus that shoddy writing in season 2

Keith and Lance have their own shipping fanbase. It starts out with just their characters, but then Some Mysterious Person starts taking candids between sets and posting them online and klance is born

it’s Pidge. Pidge runs five fan accounts. 

the pictures are super incriminating, but no one shows them to Lance or Keith

there’s a betting pool on when they’ll get together

Keith gets super into his roles and ends up genuinely upset after filming the scenes where the princess reacts badly to Red being part Galra. 

Allura gives him a 15 minute hug after

Bonding Moment Discourse is actually a thing. There was a prop malfunction on set while they were filming and the directors told them to stay put, so Lance ended up being Cradled for a solid half hour.

later, they find out that they could’ve moved and just chilled for that time, instead of actually holding each other.

“I get it Keith, I get it. You just wanted to hold me. Who doesn’t amiright??”
