You're probably getting bombarded with asks right now so sorry to add to the clutter - but I am a huge rock nerd - that goes beyond like Steven Universe and Houseki no Kuni. So I just want to share some stones and stuff that have cool properties and maybe could provide some inspiration (mainly tho so I can list off rock facts)
Mercury: Mohs 3.5, Toughness: Brittle - Malleable. Technically Mercury is always found in it's liquid form unless amalgamated with other elements, etc. But Mercury actually can be solidified, creating a "rock" with a 3.5 Mohs scale. What's interesting about this is that this solid Mercury produces an awful echo-screeching sound when bent. Idk how this would apply for a SU One Piece Character, but having the abilities to liquify, solidify, as well as being a very heavy metal which corrodes or amalgamates with many other rocks, a character like this would be a difficult opponent, or a powerful ally.
Calsilica: This ones funny because it's not a natural gem, and has an extensive history of people trying to claim that it is. Rather, Calsilica can be made from the run off byproducts in plastic, epoxy, wax, etc, condensed so hard it becomes a rock. I've had character ideas of this kind being a gem who either feels like they're lesser for being man-made, or even having imposter syndrome.
Painite: Mohs 7.5-8, tough. An incredibly rare, red-orange gem, which though is a lesser "hardness" then diamond, could easily break or shatter one.
That's another interesting thing about diamonds that was less included in the show, but they are very brittle - while sapphires, rubies, jade may be of a lesser Mohs scale, they could easily crush a diamond. Especially Jade. Jade may be one of the toughest, naturally occurring gemstones out there (hence why there are so many carvings made out of it) and can even be stronger than steal, also with no known cleavage point (point where the gemstone easily fractures most) it's a kind durable to both blunt and pin-point force.
Rutile: Rutile itself can be pretty thin and weak, but they usually occur inside of other gemstones, as needle-like fractals and growths. Their possibilities are endless and they're gorgeous. Hundreds of gem kinds can be "rutilated".
Carbyne: The. Strongest. Material. Known to man. Taking Graphenes place. I have OC's made of this, but the possibilities for character development are endless. Because, technically, only a 100 atoms of carbyne exist. They have to be contained by a graphene tube in order to stay in existence. These could be extremely powerful characters, but say their outer coating of graphene is gone? They'll vaporize. Carbyne, Graphene, and Buckminsterfullerene are all in the carbon family along with diamonds, and so modern experimentation has led to their creations, and thus, gemstones both harder and tougher than any diamond.
Though, having said all that stuff about diamonds, there is one kind that is incredibly difficult to shatter and that is Bort or Bortz. It's technically a term for any diamond that isn't jewel-grade, or natural diamond, used for cutting tools and abrasives, but as a gemstone, it would be the top tier of diamonds. Their crystal structure is smaller than a normal diamond and so blows or damage are spread out evenly through the material, rather than a regular diamond which will often take force over one point of cleavage and completely shatter.
Ok I will be quiet now I've literally been typing this for more than an hour - I just love gem Au's and your designs especially. Idk if you've heard of Houseki no Kuni but it's basically a manga/show where the characters are completely made out of the gemstones, unlike being manifestations of light in Steven Universe. I'm working on a fic/head canon au of HNK One Piece characters (once again because I'm a rock nerd)
Good lord. That's a lot of rock facts.
I def will be using this information in the future so I'm posting this as future reference/ getting this long thing outta my inbox/ showing everyone else these rock facts
Thanks for the ask and tips!

Houseki no Kuni Chapter 96 Thoughts: Hello darkness my old friend
Hello, everyone!  After nearly 1 and a half, Houseki no Kuni finally returns with chapter 96! And the results are... anguish less than desirable, I admit, but it was sadly expected.
Tumblr media
Once again, this will be a long post and I may make edits to it later on. Though I know I don’t get a lot of responses, I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts about this chapter, this post, and anything related. I hope you guys are doing alright, though I understand if that isn’t the case. 
Anyways, here we go:
The only ones who seem to care...( even a little bit)
I knew that when this story was going to come back, things were not going to improve like many fans would have wanted. I’m both disappointed and yet not surprised by the attitudes of the former gems that were shown in this chapter. I’m sure there are fans who were hoping certain gems like Antarcticite, Padparadscha, Diamond, or at least Ghost to show more concern or empathy for Phos and are disappointed that they aren’t. I’m also sure there are people who are disappointed that Ghost didn’t confront Cairn at all, but I’ll get to this later.
With Antarcticite in particular, I was disappointed that they no longer seemed as concerned as they were in the previous chapter. However, it was made clear several times that Antarcticite’s love for Adamant was stronger than their care for Phos so...yeah. As for the other gems, especially Phos’s former “allies,” I feel just about the same, if not more unsurprised because I expected this. I explained this before in older posts about how it was clear to me that most of the moon gems care for Phos was near non-existent. With the exception of Yellow Diamond and Padpa (to a degree), the other moon gems didn’t really show concern for Phos or their goals before and after their transformation and when Phos was trapped in limbo for centuries. And they only agreed to go on the invasion, at least with Dia, when their hands were forced. Like I said; disappointed but not surprised.
But isn’t interesting that the ones who currently showed any concern for Phos are Euclase and Cinnabar (at least to an extent)? 
Tumblr media
I remember there were many fans who hated Euclase in particular and though I could understand to a certain degree, I didn’t hate them personally. Maybe because I didn’t see all of their actions as completely malicious towards Phos, I thought it was clear from previous chapters that despite everything that had happened, Euclase still had some care for Phos. Plus the fact that they were the ones to ask if there was anything that can be done for Phos says a lot about them in comparison to Phos’s former “allies” (like Antarcticite, Padparadscha, and Dia). And even though Cinnabar claims that they are happier, even with the fact Phos isn’t with them, it’s clear that they are conflicted. 
It isn’t much but would you look at that? Two former earth gems, who were also two of Phos’s biggest critics, seem to care more about Phos than the ones that willingly went with him to the moon in the first place, even though that is a low bar to surpass at this point.
Any glimmers of hope on the moon?
When the leak came out, one of the things I was wondering about was whether or not all of the gems are okay with their transformation. I was thinking about Bort in particular but I wanted to believe that not everyone was okay with it. After this chapter, while my hope that there could be some gems that aren’t happy with this change has decreased, my belief that Bort isn’t totally for it isn’t completely gone. After looking over this chapter several times, I had time determining whether or not Bort was happy. Yes, we see them taking care of jellyfish while choosing to stick with their short haircut, but the whole setting seems... lonely. And when Dia, who I guess has decided to move on from their animosity towards Bort, invites them to the party, Bort out rightly rejects the invitation. To me, it looks like Bort is self isolating and is trying to make the most of the situation. I could be looking to much into this, especially since Bort wasn’t known for expressing happiness a lot. But I don’t know. They just seem like they’re simply... existing because what else are they supposed to do now. 
Tumblr media
Speaking of just existing, Bort doesn’t seem to be the only one who’s less “appreciative” of their new lives. Is it just me or does Yellow seem off? Even though they were the first one to express a desire to become Lunarian, though stemmed from their depression, they don’t seem particularly happy. And even while they’re surrounded by their fallen diamonds/gems who are clearly happy, Yellow doesn’t seem happy at all. In fact, they seemed empty. Why is this? Is Yellow still experiencing depression despite how things turned out or could this have been a result of the transformation itself? It think its a bit of both.
Tumblr media
Is the lack of empathy completely their fault?
One topic that carried from the previous chapter was how much the former gems would remember things after their transformation and this chapter seems to be confirming this. While there are gems who clearly remember Phos and seem fine to intentionally forget them, there are signs that other characters are already showing signs of forgetting them. My question is, is this because of how the gems natural are or because of the transformation? Once again, I think it’s both. Like I said with Yellow, their emptiness could also be a result of both depression and the transformation. 
Tumblr media
I’m not going to excuse the gems as a whole. Even though we’ve seen time and time again that expressing empathy towards others wasn’t something all gems could and forgetting things over time was part of their nature, how most of them treated Phos (and other gems who were going through their own forms of grieving) was.. bad. But at the same time, it’s hard to expect these humanoid being to react how we would want them to react because at the end of the day, they weren’t truly humans. And once again, none of the gems are black or white; they are all shade of grey.
I understand why many fans no longer like the gems because of their lack of care for Phos, especially the former “allies” who are fine letting them suffer for their happiness. However, at the same time, it’s concerning that at least some of the gems are going to be forgetting things and they don’t have control of this. This again echoes real life colonialism, cultural assimilation, and identity desecration. And yes, while the gems staying in their original society wasn’t good for them either and that change was necessary, this is still concerning for me.
What would be nice to see (even though it’ll likely not happen)...
I said it many times and I’ll keep saying it. It’s become harder to predict what Ms. Ichikawa is going to do with this series and it’s even harder to predict how it’ll end. I still think it will be a bittersweet end that won’t satisfy people who want Phos to somehow win in the end. As the new chapters come about, I’m going to keep my mind open and try not to make big predictions, at least not until more questions are answered.
So instead of predictions, I want to quickly list some things that I would like to see happen, even though I don’t think they will. You can see these as my hopefulness or a subtle way of me criticizing Ms. Ichikawa’s story telling so far, or something else I can’t think of. I’ll likely edit it in later.  Here it goes:
Conversations between the gems who were previously in conflict. This would include Cairn and Ghost, Bort and Dia, Padpa and Rutile. Though we got glimpses that suggest that things are now fine amongst these gems, this revelation feels less than satisfying. I want to actually see these gems talk things out, allow them to properly express their feeling about what happened between them without them sweeping things under the rug like they’ve been doing for so long.
Conversations about Phos without Aechmea’s or Adamant’s presence. We got a glimpse of this near the end of the chapter with Cinnabar but I would like to see more to gain more insight into how some of the gems actually feel. And this could lead to the reveal that there are at least a few gems who don’t like what happened to them or Phos. 
Conversations with Adamant without Aechmea’s presence. Some people have pointed out that Adamant also feels off ever since he was transformed. I would like to think that Ms. Ichikawa did this on purpose. I would like this to indicate that while Adamant is going along with Aecmea’s plans, he has his own plans to deal with this situation. 
Former gems, Admirabilis, and/or lunarians sneaking back to earth. I still hypothesize that while Adamant is all powerful and can materialize on the moon wherever he wants, he might not be omnipresent. Meaning that he doesn’t have full control over what everyone does or read their minds. And while he may be good at predicting other people’s actions, he can’t predict everything. I would want anyone who still has an ounce of care for Phos to use this to their advantage to go earth. Maybe during those missions to collect new gems or just when Aechmea is completely unaware. 
Phos protecting new gems from being kidnapped. This is something that I do think could happen in the next few chapters. This chapter hinted at the likelihood that new gems would emerge and Aechmea’s new strategy involves taking them. It would be nice for Phos to fall into the protective role of preventing the new gems from being taken. The downside is that can lead to Phos truly becoming the new Adamant by doing everything, including being the gems’ leader and reluctant praying machine, effectively restarting this whole cycle.
I’ll likely add more to this later but this is it for now.
Until the next chapter...
Despite how I felt with this chapter, I’m glad to see Houseki no Kuni again and it was nice to see the characters, even though they disappoint me. I also honestly liked the interaction between Cairn, Antarcticite and Cinnabar. 
Tumblr media
And as always, I’m both excited and dreading the next chapter. Though I admit, even though I ended up making another long post, I don’t know how invested I will be for the rest of this series. Don’t get me wrong, even though it has made me feel all sorts of things and I question the author on more than one occasion, I still like it a lot. But at the same time, I’ve started to get invested in other things both in real-life and on the internet so I can’t promise that I will be making posts for each chapter like I did before. But we’ll see!
Thank you everyone who likes, reblogs, and comments on my posts. These interactions, even though they are brief, makes this journey with this series more bearable and memorable. I hope you like this post and like always, please feel free to voice your thoughts. Until next time, stay safe wherever you are.

Fly Me to the Moon
Tumblr media
[Cover by: me/Kumon]

[Bort X Male! Aquamarine! Reader]
Tumblr media

Fandoms:
Houseki No Kuni/Land of the Lustrous

Trigger warnings:
- Angst
- Gaslighting/Emotional Manipulation

[Main Characters:]
[They would've been called they/them but I just gave them these genders so that I don't get confused]

- Bort - Male - Hardness: 10
- Phosphophyllite - Male - Hardness: 3.5
- Cairngorm - Male - Hardness: 7
- Diamond - Female - Hardness: 10
- Yellow Diamond - Female - Hardness: 10
- Kogo-Sensei - Male - Hardness: XXXXX

Tumblr media
[Notes:] 
- This takes place during the eighth and ninth manga. When Phos comes back from the moon and tries t convince other gems to come back with him to the moon.
- Bort is younger than Reader/Aquamarine [For plot]
- Sorry if you wanted something more wholesome Anon
- I know you said that you wanted a tsundere reader but when I finally finished this I realized that it was more of a tsundere Bort. The reader is still quiet yet angry, and a bit tsun tsun, but I feel I made Bort more tsun tsun than reader

Tumblr media
History before the story:
- Before Bort. Reader/Aquamarine used to be paired with Diamond.
- Before Reader/Aquamarine was introduced to Bort, Diamond used to tell Reader/Aquamarine that Bort was a gem who only liked to fight.
- Because of that. Reader/Aquamarine didn't really have a good first impression of Bort.
- And the feeling was mutual when you and Bort first met.
- You saw him as a macho fighting jerk and he saw you as someone who was weaker than you looked.
- That was... until Diamond got struck by a Lunarian's arrow pretty badly.
- Rutile couldn't perform fast enough for Dia to go on patrol since there were others who were injured.
- So Bort went in her place.
- Bort expected you to be useless. Only being able to do a bit of damage.
- But H O L Y  S H I T
- When he saw you absolutely dominate Lunarian ass. You could say he was inspired. When he was the most recent gem the first others in his life was Dia and Yellow. He didn't spend much time with Yellow so Dia was mostly his only influence.
- Unfortunately with his attitude, Bort never appreciates Dia's attempts.
- Then there was you.
- Ever since your first pairing Bort has been asking Kogo-Sensei t pair with you often.
- Bort says it's because he wants to train under you. Since he was still a bit new t the world and Kogo-Sensei agreed. 
- Of course, Kogo-Sensei knew the signs. He was impressed that the Lustrous have been able to figure out those emotions. He thought that the Lustrous have only been able to feel normal emotions. But not deeper ones. So he's been allowing  Bort to pair as many times as he wants with Reader/Aquamarine.
- Thus, months turned to years.
- You and Bort have gotten closer
- And by that I mean Bort has been silently admiring you while you're trying to deny everything.
- Bort has been trying to be more like you. Quiet and calm, graceful while fighting, strong, powerful, not showing weakness to anyone.
- And you noticed his change in demeanour.
- You must admit when you first met you thought he was going to be an annoying prick. Like how Lapiz Lazuli was. but he wasn't. 
- He merely just ignored you and you ignored him.
- But after fighting side by side for so long you started to feel... excited, whenever the both of you would change partners just to team up. of course, you never showed it since you'd be too embarrassed to.
- Now, since he was unknown to most things and Dia and Yellow were his first partners there were many things he didn't know of. 
- And you were the one to show him true pain. 
- The pains of watching a gem being taken away.
- That was with one of your best friends, Blue Topaz. That day turned you from a humble, calm gem. Into an internally emotional train wreck. With more anger issues.
- You've witnessed many gems getting taken but Blue Topaz has got the be the most influential on you... and Bort.
- Bort was terrified for you and the others after that. Ever since he saw Blue Topaz get shattered before him, and then taken away forever he's been scared about you. Of course, he tries not to show it.
- Ever since that he's been trying his hardest to get stronger in order to protect the others.
- And then after many years Phosphophyllite came into the world.
- This upset Bort for more reasons than he can count.
- Phos is one of the lowest hardness gems and is practically useless in everything. But for some reason, Reader/Aquamarine finds that uselessness "cute"
- Thus began the hatred for the mint green gem.
- Phos on the other hand, was completely oblivious to the hateful stalker stares that Bort was giving him.
- But that didn't matter to him if others hated him. He has a super cool, humble, awesome, strong, quiet, supportive big brother after all!
- The entirety of his life, Phos has been babysat by Reader/Aquamarine... Probably because they almost look alike. The only difference is that Reader/Aquamarine is more on the blue side with a Hardness of 8 [And is taller]. While Phosphophyllite was more on the green side with a hardness of 3.5 [And is hella short].
- But that just made Phos feel that much more loved. He truly does see Reader/Aquamarine as his older brother.
- During all his hardships, Reader/Aquamarine was always there for him. Whenever he gets shattered, destroyed, or feels like he's about to give up. Reader/Aquamarine was there to get him out of dark times.
- Then there was the time Bort teamed up with Phos.
- Bort has been keeping all the anger and jealousy that has been directed to Phos and when they got to the cliffside for duty it took everything in Bort's crystallized body to not shatter Phosphophyllite right then and there.
- But Bort kept himself restrained because he knew that if he shattered Phosphophyllite then Aqua would not only scold him, but hate him.
- Bort didn't want to lose him so he made up reasons to hate Phosphophyllite.
- Then there was hibernation. Hibernation has got to be Bort's favourite time of the year. Because each time Bort gets to sleep besides Reader/Aquamarine.
- Both of them didn't mind each other's company though.
- And when they woke up Phosphophyllite has changed again. Golden arms.
- Reader/Aquamarine was especially worried since Phos's personality had changed.
- Then there was the news about Antarc.
- Reader/Aquamarine wasn't close to him but after hearing Phos's explanation He knew that Phos cared about the winter gem.
- This pissed off Bort more. And then there was chaos. While Phos got examined by Rutile, Bort kept trying to lift up Aqua's mood. Only to be pushed away and yelled at. [Reader/Aquamarine actually just got too flustered and didn't know how to respond]
- When Bort was pushed away he was jealous and angry again. So he went after Phos again. Trying to test him because of his arms.
- After that, Phos didn't interact with Reader/Aquamarine that much. [Due to Bort's sabotage >:)]
- It was alright though... time went on...
- Until...
{Your POV}
~~~~~
"Sensei! Lunarians!"
I turned around to see Benito running toward Bort and I. "Benito! What kind!" I yelled. "It's the old type but Phossy and Cairngorm are having trouble!" I went wide-eyed and gave Bort a glance. I then looked back at Bort in worry. "Let's go." Bort nodded and we ran off, but when we got there...
Tumblr media
"That was Cairngorm!" I grit my teeth "Where's Phos!?" We got closer and closer.
But Phos wasn't there. I looked up at the Lunarians and got close to the cliff as possible. "Phos?!"
"PHOS!!"
I was very close to throwing my sword but Bort held my hand, telling me not to. I just glared at the disappearing cloud. "We're... too late. let's get back." I felt Bort's gloved hand pat my shoulder and I just snarled, feeling angry at the Lunarians.
I turned around, accidentally shoving Bort's hand off and walked away.
{Bort's POV}
~~~~~
It's been a few days since Phosphophyllite has been captured. Aqua's mental stability has been getting worse lately. I've tried my best to help him out but he would either push me away and yell or stay quiet and leave. I've been getting worried more and more. With this mindset, I know for a fact that he was going to get himself shattered.
And that honestly scared the hell out of me.
I saw him sitting beside the water so I approached behind him. "...Aqua..?" I started. He didn't speak. I was going to sit down beside him but then sighed. If I did he'd get up and leave again. So I just stood behind him. Aqua continued to stare at the water. I wanted to help him, I really did.
This was the second time he's lost someone of great importance after all. Blue Topaz... now that dolt... I just stared at Aqua's back who looked more sad now. I didn't like seeing him like that.
"*GASP* SENSEI!! SENSEI!!"
I looked up, and so did Aquamarine.
"Hemi..?" Aqua questioned. Hemimorphite stopped at us. "BORT! AQUA! A-A NEW TYPE! PHOSSY! UPSIDEDOWN BLACK SPOT!!" Aqua gasped and shot up, surprising me. "What was that second part?" "W-We saw something Phossy by the beach!" Without warning Aqua ran off. "Dame! Hemi- Go inform Sensei!" I ordered before running after Aquamarine.
He always does this to the gems he cares about most.
We made it to the beach and... Hemi was right. The Lunarians were bringing up a gem that really did look like Phos. Since I was further away, I couldn't react but Aqua did. He jumped up and unsheathed his sword, swinging it at the new Lunarian
Tumblr media
But then he got knocked back. I growled and ran forward, catching him so that he didn't fall into the sand. "A-Aquamarine! Bort!" I heard one of the younger gems cry. The new Lunarian swung again. But both me and Aqua were able to dodge. "Waahh! Bort! We're sorry!" "Aqua! Behind it!" "It's Phossy!"
"We know!" Aqua and I yelled. Then we charged again when we saw Phos almost getting captured for the second time. I slid under the Lunarian's legs while Aqua jumped over it, using its head to jump up and was able to grab Phos by his loose, extended, golden arms. While I felt myself getting pulled by my "hair" it didn't hurt much. All of a sudden, the Lunariens disintegrated.
Sensei was here...
{Your POV}
~~~~~
I held Phos tightly as we fell into the water. I didn't care if I was starting to shatter due to the touch.
Phos Was Back!
Someone actually came back to me. "Phos?" I questioned as I helped him up in the water. "Hmmm..." Then I heard the younger gems speak, "Sensei! Phossy! It's a Phossy thing!" "Sensei look! It's Phos isn't it?!"
That's when I noticed something. "Phos... That eye." I mentioned. To my surprise, Phos looked away. I gave a hurt expression and then walked to Bort's side while Phos talked to Sensei. "Oi..." I looked at Bort, asking what. "That was really cool. But don't do stuff like that. You're worrying me." I felt myself feeling weird again and looked away. "I-I'm content! Phos is here after all! And from the moon no less.
"Sure... Let's get back to the school." I nodded. We all started to walk back, the younger gems asking Phos questions while Bort and I walked in (stupidly comfortable) silence.
Now, when we reached school I wanted nothing more than to spend my time with Phos. But Bort held me back, saying that the others will be curious and will bombard Phos with questions and that it'll be easier to ask him later. I wanted to protest against it but after remembering how the younger gems reacted. "*Sigh* Fine... I'll... talk to him later." Bort pat my back, smiling at me before walking off and I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment. "That stupid, adorable, reliable diamond relative!" I whisper-yelled.
[Timeskip ~ Night]
Finally, it's nighttime. I walked out of my room and started to roam. But he wasn't in his room. I searched a bit more but I didn't find him. I groaned in annoyance and then walked into the clinic. "Hey. Rutile." "Hello, Aquamarine. What brings you here at this time?" I leaned on the wall and sighed. "Have you seen Phos? I need to talk to 'em." I saw Rutile bite his lower lip and glare at the ground. "I believe he went back to his room." I thanked him and then ran over to Phos's room. Only to see him sleeping.
I sighed in disappointment. "I guess I'll just ask tomorrow..."
[Timeskip ~ The next day]
"Aaaaaqqqqquuuuuaaaa~~~♪"
I felt my cheek getting poked and I shot up, "Hihi~ Good afternoon big brother~" I sat there, shocked. But then flew out of my bed and hugged the gem in front of me. "*Tch* Dummy- How long have you been watching me sleep?" Phos just laughed. "I'm sorry. I actually just got here. Buuuut- It's already past noon." *Gah!* I sweatdropped and looked outside. He was right, it was past noon. I sulked at that.
"Can I sit down?" I nodded at Phos and he sat down on my bed. "So... anything you wanna ask?" I looked down. Not being able to look him in the eye. "Did you... get hurt on the moon?" I heard Phos mumble yes and I felt guilty. Not being able to get to the beach fast enough to help him. "Hey now- I remember that face. Don't do that." I felt Phos pat my back and I smiled back at his supportiveness. "Anything else you wanna ask?"
{Bort's POV}
~~~~~
"Just what happened on the moon?" I froze and didn't take another step. Just so that Phos and Aqua didn't see me. I looked around if anyone would see me but the halls were empty so I stood closer to the doorway to eavesdrop. I know I shouldn't but... "...A lot of things happened." I was shocked to hear that. Based on what the others told me, Phos didn't remember anything.
"I'm going to be honest with you since you're like my brother but you have to promise not to tell anyone." I hear Aqua hum in response. That's when everything came out. Phos PLANNED to get captured to talk to the Lunarians, Sensei was a tool created by humans, all the technology the moon had in their grasps... and the other gems.
To say I was shocked was an understatement. But what came next genuinely made me want to shatter him and made me wish that he stayed on the moon.
"Aquamarine... Come back to the moon with me and some of the others."
"...What..?"
Phos then started to go on and on about how the moon actually was. How nice the Lunarians actually were. How sensei was a bad guy. How everyone would be happier. How he and Aqua would be happier on the moon. 
I got even more pissed off. There is no way that I'm going to let this happen. I swore on my life, when I saw the look of horror on Aqua's face when Blue Topaz got taken that I would protect him. Going back on the moon would just bring more pain to Aquamarine! After what Phos has just revealed about the other gems why would Aqua say yes!? Would he say yes?!
I stood outside the room and felt myself shaking as Phos continued to gaslight Aqua into convincing him to join him and the other gems. "So... what do you say?" I heard Aqua sigh. His breath sounded shakey and there was nothing I wanted to do more than run up and comfort him. "If you're being honest I might as well be too... I want to go to a place without Bort."
I felt something inside me shatter.
"Huh? Why? Don't you... like him?"
Then that something re-pieced itself.
"That's correct. He's always so worried about me. Protective, cute, sweet, and strong, he idolized me... I don't deserve it." I just looked at the floor. "Our entire lives I've just been pushing him away. Being mean, being harsh. Just... being absolute trash. Bort deserves someone who will treat him right. And I know that I won't be fit for the job." Aquamarine... please... don't say that.
"Are... you sure? You've... what was that word? Loved? Yes. You've loved him for a long time. Are you sure you're willing to let someone else snatch him up like that?" I heard Aqua laugh. "As long as they make Bort happy then I don't care. He's done so much for me. And all I've done was push him away, yell, scream, and... *Deep sigh*"
I saw something on the floor and I felt my eyes get blurry. I blinked twice and held a hand up to them. And when I looked at my hand there it was. "Alloy..?" Not. It's not alloy. It's something else. But it was some sort of black liquid.
"I'll let you think about it. I'll see you in the morning Aqua."
I heard Phos get up from Aqua's bed and I ran off as silently as I can.
[Haha- Lol stopping here Like if ya want a pt. 2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]
[In all honesty, my train of thought derailed]
[Hope I did well ;w;]

Just read the new Houseki no Kuni chapter, what a ride! So many new developments...
(More thoughts/spoilers under cut)
Okay so first of all, at this point I don't really have any particular predictions/expectations regarding what happens next, I'm mostly here for the ride lol.
Art-wise, this chapter was lovely! I've seen people mention that the (ex-?)gems' hair looks a lot more light/fluid now that they're lunarians, and I think that's really cool!
It was very sweet seeing Cinnabar so happy about being around flowers now that their poison isn't an issue, and I like seeing them so integrated into the community, especially in comparison to how isolated they were at the beginning of the story.
Tumblr media
From what I've seen in online discussions of this chapter, there seems to be some dissatisfaction regarding the characters' attitudes towards Phosphophyllite's situation. While I do agree that they seem rather uncaring, in my opinion it does align with what we've seen of them thus far.
I feel like it's been pretty established that gems and lunarians alike don't exactly have what would be considered "human" morals, and it kind of makes sense since they're supposed to represent separate components of humanity rather than a complete whole.
Overall, even though not all readers are happy with the current situation in the story, it does bring out the idea of change, which has been a very prominent theme in this manga. We see how change can have a variety of effects-it can improve the lives of some (like Cinnabar, who became a part of the community thanks to these changes), while some things may not be very affected by it (such as how the relationship between Diamond and Bort seems to still be less than positive) Some get swept up in the changes, like the many gems/lunarians enjoying life on the moon, while others get left behind, like Phosphophyllite.
Change is portrayed as something that isn't black-or-white, but rather it is shown that a single change can have a large range of results for different people, based on their personalities, beliefs, circumstances, etc.
I'm honestly pretty excited to see what direction the story takes next, but for now it's really interesting to see the different views on and interpretations of chapter 96!
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading!

Had tobget this story out before I forget.
So I work in a factory that makes industrial sized AC units for like... server rooms n shit. Whatever.
It's the weekend, we're allowed to listen to music on the weekend, how generous of upper management! Anyway. I got my music playing in my own lil space and I suddenly turn to my coworker and tell her, unprompted, unsolicited
"Did you know that even though Fiamonds are ranked a 10 on the mohs hardness scale they have a very low tensile strength, so like, if you apply enough pressure to a diamond, say with a hydraulic press or something similar that instead of like...squishing or stretching the diamond will just shatter into a thousand pieces?"
My coworker, bless this woman for her patience listens quietly to me expunge this information to her and then says "huh alright. And what made you think of that all of a sudden?"
I lied initially and said, "I have no idea!" But almost immediately I turned around with "no I know why!"
And then I went on to explain that " the music I was listening to reminded me of this anime I had seen where people were made or rocks and one character was made of bort. And bort is a kind of diamond but not a pretty diamond! It's industrial. So like, diamond tipped tools and stuff that make them super strong are actually coated in this stuff called bort, not thw traditional diamond you would normally think of. And that reminded me that bort is the stronger diamond of the two, and I was surprised that I remembered the term 'tensile strength' so I had to say it out loud."
During this explanation a buddy of mine walked up, looked at my coworker, 2ho returned hrr own look while pretending to shoot her own head, which I found very funny.
But.
Yeah.

So, sending this way later bc it was midnight for me-
So I decided to reconstruct some fantasy universe I created back in mid school
I remember that that time SU was popular but I didn't watch it and didn't plan on doing so, but I decided to think on a gempeople race myself. And now, when I got into SU and Houseki no Kuni, I proceeded on developing that!
So, basically, in my universe, gempeople are born when a soul (an important element in my universe) enters an inanimate matter and forces it to develop as animate. In this case the matter is a mineral/mineraloid/fossil.
for many years they were oppressed by nearby human civilization due to their ability to grow their body parts much faster than regular gems usually do, so they were seen as productive source for rare gemstones. It was easier since gempeople weren't acknowledged as race. But eventually they were admitted as one and were defended by world organisations.
Here are some gem characters:
Black Diamond aka Bort
- the first born gemperson and therefore the oldest - over 2000 years. been through a lot, which lead for him to develop a Big Brother personality for other gempeople, and, along with other diamonds, was picked as a head of their village. he's INFJ btw! very empathetic and caring for his people. also made an artificial gemperson (Conglomerate) and made them his child. the one who taught many of his apprentices of gem reconstructing, human culture and other stuff.
Clear Diamond (Adamant, Adam)
- second born, about 100-200 years later after Bort. soft-spoken and kind one, maybe a little too soft-spoken. admires life in every aspect, be it a plant, an animal and even humans, even if some gems are sure they're cruel beings. probably ENFJ.
Red Diamond and Green Diamond
- their personalities are still brief and not too developed, but still. Red is a strict, cold and hateful woman who doesn't tolerate humans. Green is a weirdo, they're smart and basically has a personality of a quirky scientist. show some signs of BPD lmao.
Amethyst
- Bort's talented apprentice. studies magic. INTP. very caring for his siblings and worships Bort as his teacher and the head.
Corundums (Ruby, Sapphire, Padparadscha)
- three hardest gems after Diamonds, also siblings. Sapphire is mature and anxious, Ruby is serious and reliable, and Padparadscha... they're another weirdo. They're carefree and may seem childish and too calm, but they're actually mature. Calls Ruby "princess" because of her rarity.
Black and White Opals
- White is an empathetic and sensitive woman. Black is a sanguine guardian at heart.
Jaspers (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Poppy, Bloody)
- they're the hardest of Quartzes, so picked as the strongest ones. they usually do the hard job or serve as guardians.
Obsidian
- kokichi kinnie a unique one for sure. his inner temperature is way higher that the outer one. interested in Bort's studies as well. has somewhat short temper, but usually he's cool and teasing. cares for Angel.
Angel Aura Quartz
- an introvert. seems cold, but actually has problems with expressing emotions and secretly wants to have a lot of friends. became a sister for Obsidian.
will tell more later when I develop other gems more and will send you some artworks!
Very interesting so far! Liked how you made a whole universe from the gems. We love world building here :)
Obsidian sounds like a very layered character to me, which I like! And the Corundum siblings as well. I like sibling dynamics a lot in media

"A diamond is stronger than it looks, and so am I!"
A/N: There was no specific magical girl franchise specified in the original ask so we decided to make an original AU. Also Dia canonically uses they/them, please respect that on this post.
Series information:
Series name: Shining crystal defence school
Synopsis: A group of high schoolers suddenly receive powers and the bodies of gems in order to battle the Lunarians who are trying to take over Earth.
Personal information
Human name: Aki Hajime
Crystal name: Diamond/Dia
Theme: Diamonds, white
Weapon: Bow
Affiliation: The Earth Gems, Shining Crystal Defence School
Catchphrase: “A weak diamond is no diamond at all!”
Plot:
Dia is a timid person who struggles with their confidence. When they were chosen to be a ‘Earth gem’ and made to attend the Shining Crystal Defence School, they felt weaker compared to their team mates due to the fact that they break easily.
However, thanks to their friends Bort and Phos, Dia has come to realise that it’s not them or their gem that is the issue, it’s the way that the school teaches short range combat, not giving Dia the chance to show their true strength.

Ways Amber D could be shattered
-Lonsdaleite and Wurtzite something can break a diamond so if a bunch of bismuths here make a giant sword made out of one of those for a fusion, and that fusion is around amber’s height then yeah
-A diamond corrupts and attacks amber, she is not able to survive the attack
-She could get shattered trying to protect someone else or when she’s trying to prevent an argument
-She could just be planning on faking it but newsflash, the sapphires in this authority all have perfect future vision so far so that won’t be happening lol
-Bort accidentally shatters a diamond twice her size (maybe violet’s dumb self went back to challenge bort to give up the prisoners or something and she was about to pound this child but the child did a few defense moves out of panic and Amber got in front and yeah

Yo, I just had a very sad dream.
Dreamed about Yellow Diamond going back to earth on his summer uniform, and seeing Dia and Bort shattered. He whispers the word "Brothers..." He dragged the two away with a rake (I don't know why it was a rake) from the scene, but he kept cracking as he looked at them. But Bort stared back at him while holding Dia's upper half.
The side of Yellow's face was now full of cracks as he gave Bort a sad smile and called him "Brother", but Bort doesn't reply and closes his eye.
(That was weird as shit, but made me sad tbh)

the fear entities in houseki no kuni
because jewels, too, can learn to be human.
(everything under read more because magnus archives is magnus archives and houseki no kuni is houseki no kuni. that is, respectively, shit-scarily terrifying and horribly existential.)
alexandrite: the slaughter. gems thrive on light but they shun it, because when the moon rings across and through their powdered surface like a serpent striking true - blue turns red, gentle turns harsh, and chrysoberyl is dragged behind a chant of kill, kill, kill. friend and ally and enemy lose their meaning. in the sea of red, anything and everything bleeds light.
antarcticite: the lonely. they slumber when their siblings wander the footsteps of spring, the eddying laziness of summer, awakening only to an empty room. the cold permits their existence, but they only live when their family is asleep. is that living? their sensei provides his comfort, yet it makes them all the more lonely when they crave more than the touch of machine hands. is it cruel that the winter when they learn to care for wide, turquoise eyes and the flash of mint-green hair is the winter that kills them? is it cruel, then, that loneliness is what permitted their survival, and connection is what killed them.
yellow diamond: the spiral. their waking hours are plagued with regret. every gleam of sun-sparkling light across their gold hair, their candlelight lashes, is a reminder of a friend they could not save - that so many gave their lives so that this diamond may live, and for the world's want of cruelty, they continue to love and lose in this spiral of memory. on the moon, the spiral revels in yellow diamond's disorientation, the uproot from earth, their distance from bort. yellow diamond walks among lunarians but they are powdered marigold facets and not soft, soul-silky corporeality but they wear aechmea's attire but they fight with what sensei taught them but and but and but- and none of it matters because the moment yellow diamond sees the ashes of their loves scattered to fine graves is the moment they look past the mirror that doesn't have their reflection. they are a lunarian. it's fine. it's fine. if they believe enough, they are. yellow diamond-yellow. yellow is a lunarian. if they believe and pray and pray and pray, they are made of moon-dusted regrets and wine-soaked memories instead of loss and loss and loss.
rutile: the eye. they alone have the sharpness to perform the finest of operations; born among the first, rutile has put together their comrades and set to rest their fractures limbs for thousands and thousands of years - but, but, but, they are haunted always by red-lined smirks, crimson hair, butterfly-lashed rosy eyes that open less and less for less and less. there is a hole in rutile and it is this never-ending question of how to do it better, how to make them wake up, how to fix them because why can they put together a three-point-five with fossilized agate but they cannot help their long-time friend? but someday rutile will understand. someday they will have that divine revelation. someday they will have the knowledge to- to what? because phosphophyllite-lapis-lunarian (traitor) spirits away padparascha to the moon and padparascha comes back whole and fixed and rutile has never, ever been smart enough or known enough to do what their enemy has done in a matter of days.
"it's a gift." no. no it's not. rutile wants to scream because they know that padparascha knows what they are doing. this is not a gift, it is a testament forever to their failure to their shortcomings to everything they could not do at the end of the world.
"use it as reference." rutile won't. that large, hungry part of them screams to take this and make it theirs, learn it better, do it better than those moon-people ever could but-but-but-it is their failure. their loss. they have never been able to do better.
and then the abstract bleeding creature that calls itself phos looks in rutile's direction, padparascha's body sprawled across their frozen legs, and then rutile can never do anything again.
bort: the hunt. they are gem, they are diamond hard-fired to withstand the strongest of lunarian blades but they think they understand what it means for blood to pump adrenaline when the spark appears over the horizon and it's time to run-leap-kill. they chase those blank-eyed creatures across the sky, over the school, distantly they know dia can't keep up but the hunt calls. the hunt calls. bort answers. dia falls behind. they hunt alone, then, until three-point-five returns with better legs and better arms and finally bort has an equal and they can both chase those gods-forsaken ships past the horizon and into the night. then they're hunting phos, hair buzzed short and their new whip crackling with what they've lost as they shatter their partner/comrade/enemy into shards beyond the ends of the earth. then they're hunting answers, answers for sensei, solutions for euclase, and maybe there's something beyond chasing. maybe bort can learn to stay still. sit down, raise the jellyfish, watch their tentacles undulate and glow like a thousand brilliant strands of lunar hair.
and then phos comes back, for the last time, and bort realizes that the hunt never left. because phos has hunted for acceptance all this time, and this warped husk now hunts sensei and hunts them and hunts every gem that still walks this earth. and dia, dia, dia - bort's sibling, oh, they should have cherished them more. because dia settles on the ground with that sweet-acrid smile and bort realizes that the hunt never left - even crueller, the hunt took dia. and dia's prey is bort, like all those old stories lost before yellow diamond opened their eyes about siblings turning on siblings and elder slaying younger and now, at the end of the world again, it repeats.
the chase ends when dia's sword slices bort and bort's whip cuts through dia. prey dead, predator dead, they collapse to the grass. and if they had the consciousness to register their thoughts, they would have been devastated to realize that they have been the prey this whole time.
lapis lazuli: the web. euclase remembers them as strategic, and lazuli thinks five steps ahead even after their head is tossed to ghost quartz to cherish in trembling hands. after all, it is their head; they have lost their body but not their mind. their structure adapts because they knew that someday, there will be a gem receptive to their fracture-lines and shining blue. they make a burrow in the dusted pages of the library they once breathed, then when cairngorm chooses phos (oh, how lazuli anticipates this divergence from ghost quartz, how this new actress shall play the stage) they make a nest in the broken pits of phos' memories. phos wakes and then lazuli is phos, and they push phos to find answers beyond sensei, beyond earth, and then phos is no longer phos and lazuli themself has trouble grasping what they are. what they are hunting. have they thought too far? reached too much? knowledge is so very worth the pain and loss and treachery, though, isn't it. lazuli does not let themself think of ghosting bangs and soft, downturned doe eyes. lazuli does not let themself think of dark quartz and smoky glances and the independence that radiates from aechmea's princess. lazuli is only upset that their game has come to an end when phos breaks sensei (breaks the king, breaks the chessboard). yes. that's just it. only upset that the game is over.
oh yes, lapis lazuli always thinks five steps ahead, and they always leave their loved ones ten steps behind.
phosphophyllite: the flesh. constantly, i think to myself that i would like to be reborn. uselessness dogs their steps, naivety shelters their head and all the while they crave to be anything that isn't nothing, that isn't shadow, that isn't "three-point-five" or "bothersome." ventricoscus comes of the flesh, royal of the drowned-humans. through her treachery phosphophyllite loses their legs. through her guilt, phosphophyllite gains them back stronger, faster, better. the ice urges them to let their arms fall to the floes; phos grows them back with heavy gold that still isn't enough to save antarcticite's shards from the moon. deep down they still wish to be reborn to start everything over - so they say, "take my legs," "take my arms," "take my head." they journey to the moon and tell aechmea, "take my eye." everything is for the greater good, and anything is done to fulfill that selfish little wish of stronger, faster, better. phosphophyllite is less three-point-five than they are an amalgamation of lunarian tech and scattered shards - lunarians see a gem and gems see a lunarian, which are they? does it matter? have they not achieved their highest form? somewhere along the line, phos' desire for rebirth has been consumed by human vengeance.
(phos is human. or, phos will turn human, and over the thousands of years abandoned on the shores of humanity, lonely feeds until gem becomes flesh.)

i know this is going to be a controversial post but i hate how many hnk fans still see phos as the good guy
dont get me wrong, i still love phos as a character, but at some point ...you really have to step back and look at what they’ve done from an unbiased lens
the image i used below is just a minor example in comparison but really... they went from being one of diamonds closest friends, to using their toxic relationship with bort as a way to manipulate them.
Tumblr media
i’ve seen some people use the excuse of “oh, the moon gems never even tried to get phos back so they deserved all of that!” which... okay, the moon gems never tried to retrieve phos after the earth gems specifically made it impossible for them to retrieve phos... and instead of drowning in grief for 220 years, they decided to move on in a healthy way. how dare they ❗❗
even on an island as small as the one in houseki, finding multiple tiny, tiny small boxes buried deep underground is not an easy task. and keep in mind, if they did try to retrieve some pieces of phos, the earth gems could’ve threatened to throw the rest into the ocean. aechma is a strategist--phos is important to him, but he knows not to give his enemy a bargaining chip as great as that.
anyway--and while there is no real concept of ‘death’ for the gems, phos makes it very clear that they want to extinguish all gems. sure, maybe they changed their mind after the battle was won, but they went into it with the intention of turning them all to dust. even the ones who had no involvement in this conflict. arguably, even antarc.
Tumblr media
i still think phos is a very interesting and deep character, and i dont think the moon gems or the earth gems are necessarily all that innocent either. the thing about houseki is that it challenges your perspective so much that you cant help but question who you root for at every turn, and i think that just makes it so so fascinating to read.
if anybody disagrees hit me up, i love talking about houseki no kuni, but i feel like some fans are so loyal to phos that they don't see what the author wants them to...
Tumblr media
i mean really chief . i do not get how this is the hero of the story.

MmmM I just suddenly got an idea. Uh. Jeweler skid? There aint a lot of jewel or metal based cosmetics, but 👀
Where do they get the metals for it…?
And the precious stones as well, if there is such in your interpretation of the regular vanilla lore-
hMMMMMMMM
Traveling jeweler. They repair the seasonal pass necklaces and other jewelry. They go into the old mines of the hidden forest to collect what's left of the precious minerals.
"Well I be damned, you found an opal! They're very rare and they look gorgeous on the enchantment capes."
"Alright who's the jerk who sold me a dark diamond and claimed it was a bort diamond? I am not impressed. It's not even high quality!
"You want me to repair your seasonal necklace? Sure! Just let-"
*Sees that it's rusty from the sea air and a few rare gems have fallen off*
"....Wonderful."
*In the mine at wasteland, picking a few rocks to see if it's geodes or precious stones*
Apprentice: I don't think we should be here for long. What if there's an underground krill or something!
Jeweler: You mean that rumour that a krill pops up from the ground in graveyard? That's just a rumour! It's made up to scare moths. Don't worry about it. Beside, krill aren't that smart to even do sneak attacks. They're as dumb as-
*The entire cave turns red*
Apprentice: AAAAAAAAAAA
Jeweler: Well I'll be damned. I guess they are smart. *Gets krilled*
Jeweler: Sorry, but emeralds are so rare that I can't sell them under 100 candles
Moth: 20. Take it or leave it.
Jeweler: No-
Jeweler: How....did you shatter a diamond!?
Veteran: Eden-
Jeweler: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YA'LL TO STOP BRINGING PRECIOUS COSMETICS TO EDEN!? DRESS UP AS A MOTH FOR MEGAN'S SAKE!
Traveler: I heard a legend about a creature called a 'dragon'. No, not the dark dragons in wasteland. I heard that there's a giant lizard that breathes fire and flies over the horizon that lives in a cave high up in this mountain. It is said that they fill their entire cave up with gems and gold. When I told this story to a skykid, they immediately went on a journey to find this being. I wonder what kind pf selfish desire and greed this child has?
Jeweler climbing up the mountain where the supposed dragon lives: High ho~ High ho~
