re: my posts about askblogs, a couple of folks were saying some of my links weren't working on mobile (they were links to sidebar pages on one of my blogs, so that's probably why - mobile tumblr doesn't like extra pages on custom themes for some reason) so I will just made a rebloggable version of this:
The following is a list of as many Riordanverse askblogs as I'm aware of (if there are more I will edit and add them):

Who I write for /Rules
Masterlist
I'm new-ish to writing (i used to write fanfiction when i was like 13. i'm 18 now soo..) but I really wanna do it again.
So this is a list of characters/fandoms I write for as well as some rules for asks. Some things may be missing from this list so if you dont see something on this list, feel free to ask. :))
I will add a prompt list to this blog soon but again feel free to request other scenarious. Do add as much detail as you want to a request and please ALWAYS have at least some sort of prompt, as i'm really not good with coming up with storys on my own yet.
I WILL NOT DO SMUT SO DONT REQUEST IT! I might however do spicy stuff (Nothing more than making out tho).
My writing will be for all ages but please still be careful if the fic-warnings include sensitive topics and i might repost some 18+ things so be careful when navigating my blog.
Please be nice and have manners when requesting.
If you have any questions at all if i write for something, or if a topic you want me to write about is okay or not, please reach out through my asks or my inbox.
Also please include what gender/pronouns you want the reader to have (i write for all genders):)))
I write both romantic and platonic for all my characters. Although Teen!readers will always be platonic if the character is an adult.
I also write poly relationships. AUs are also totally on the table (big Fan of celebrity AUs).
Some things I will not write include: Pregnancy, toxic/yandere, student x teacher.
(Also english isnt my first language, and even know in my opinion i speak it really well, if they are any mistakes, thats why.)

So I’ve decided to create a full on art blog. This is where I’ll be posting my art and anything related to my art. My main account will just be for other stuff, aka reblogs that consumes my art lol.
Since this’ll be a pinned post I’ll introduce myself.
I am Grace/Art/Marshy, you can call me any of those names. I’m 21 years old and have been making art for 8+ years and writing for just as long. I’m into a lot of different fandoms, but currently my hyperfixation is Lego Monkie Kid or anything Monkey King related. (I honestly don’t know what else to say about myself lol).
I’ll reblog my art from my main account, not all but some recent bits to put some art on here. Then it’ll all just be actual posts. Feel free to ask about an AUs or ocs I’ve made art of because I love talking about the different things I’ve come up with. You can send asks in the ask box or just comment through reblogs.

Little Homeworld Life chapter 9: To Err Is Human (originally published on October 10, 2022)
AN: As the talented comedic geniuses that made up Monty Python once said, "And now for something completely different." You know how rampant those human Gem AUs are? Well, allow me to present my spin on the concept inspired by the likes of Saved by the Bell and all the Disney sitcoms of old! I started watching the former on Hulu to get some inspiration, just FYI. Considering how the Alternate Future continuity I have created is a bit different from the Steven Universe we're used to, this should be an interesting take. Anyways, school's in session everybody, so strap in!
Synopsis: Welcome to Crystal High, where the quirky new girl in school Whitney Topaz falls for the captain of the football team Jasper Brooks as she helps her new classmates break free from Ruth Black's oppressive control! Wait, something isn't right.
Cast:
Lauren Ash as Whitney Topaz/White Topaz
Kimberly Brooks as Jasper Brooks/Jasper, Jazz Day/Dalmatian Jasper
Noël Wells as Ruth Black/Black Rutile
Estelle as Estelle Garrett/Garnet
Michaela Dietz as Amy Thomas/Amethyst
Deedee Magno-Hall as Pearl Hall/Pearl
Shelby Rabara as Dot Perry/Peridot
Jennifer Paz as Lana Lance/Lapis Lazuli, Zoey Lance/Zuli, Lucy Lance/Laz
Uzo Aduba as Biddie Matthews/Bismuth
Amy Sedaris as Teal Zircon/Thea Zick
Della Saba as Marina Blue/Aquamarine
Christine Pedi as Agatha Holly/Holly Blue Agate
Casey Lee Williams as Catherine "Cat" Eyre/Cat's Eye
Charlyne Yi as Irene Charles/Eyeball
Featuring Avi Roque as Cindy Barr/Cinnabar
Awkwafina as Kylie Newman/Kyanite
Allison Janney as Piper Ryan/Pyrite
Zehra Fazal as Zelda Sullivan/Zoisite
Lena Hall as Blair Stone/Bloodstone
Jodie Whittaker as Xanthe Turner/Xenotime
Marc Diraison as Ash Topaz
April Winchell as Lauren Topaz
Zeno Robinson as Kenny Topaz
And Fred Stoller as Jameson Brooks
--
Little Homestead, Delmarva was much like any other small American town. Everybody knew each other's names, community get-togethers were a frequent affair, and most of its residents have lived there all their lives. However, one family that had just moved to town from the big city would prove to change its youth forever.
The Topaz family, consisting of husband-and-wife Ash and Lauren, their teenage daughter Whitney and young son Kenny, had moved into town from Riverdale, Empire State, over the weekend after Ash got an assignment from his boss Hiram Lodge to expand Lodge Industries' influence across the Mid-Atlantic. This meant Whitney had to leave her wholesome friends behind. Though it was tough to say goodbye, Whitney always knew she'd be a stone's throw away from seeing them again whenever she liked.
--
"Hi-diddly-ho, new neighborino!" the Topazes' new neighbor Ted greeted them on a warm September morning.
"You must be Ted Sanders, I presume." Ash Topaz replied as he shook Ted's hand. "Ash Topaz, my family and I came here from Riverdale last Saturday."
"Oh, my land, Riverdale?" Ted gasped in elation. "Home of Lodge Industries?!"
"Yep, that's the one." Ash smiled. "I moved the fam here under Hiram's orders, which reminds me. I should probably introduce them to you some time."
"Oh, my boys, the missus, and I would love to meet you!" Ted smiled. "Hey, that reminds me, shouldn't your youngins be getting ready for school right now?"
"Shoot, thanks for the heads up!" Ash gasped in realization. "Talk to you later, okay?"
"My door's always open!" Ted replied as Ash raced back inside his house to get his kids ready.
--
"Sis, sis, you gotta wake up." A ten-year-old platinum blonde-haired boy said while poking his older sister in her plump lips. "Sis, sis!" The boy was still wearing some Cookie Cat-themed pajamas, while the girl had on a Mister Universe T-shirt that was a little too big for her, along with some workout shorts.
"Dah, I'm awake, I'm awake!" sixteen-year-old Whitney Topaz yelled as she jolted awake. "Oh, thanks for the lift, Kenny. So, you ready for your first day of school?"
"Uh, I don't know." Kenny Topaz replied nervously. "What if I don't make any friends at my new school? I'm scared, Whitty."
"Hey, don't get so wound up, Ken." Whitney said with a comforting smile at her little brother. "Besides, I'm pretty nervous too. I'm sure my classmates will be nice, but they got nothing on good ol' Archie and pals!"
"Oh, Whitney, you're awake!" Whitney and Kenny's homemaking mother, Lauren Topaz, said delightedly as she peered into her daughter's room. "Hop to it, young lady, don't want to be late!"
"Don't worry, Mom." Whitney said as she got up and did some stretches that Kenny was quick to try imitating. "Aw, I see someone's already ready."
"Haha, Whitty!" Kenny laughed before suddenly falling over, only to be helped up by his big sister, and the two walked out of Whitney's room hand in hand.
--
Meanwhile, in a slightly grungier part of town frequented by purse snatchers, dognappers, and carjackers, a tall, muscular teen girl with stripe tattoos lining her arms and a jasper nose ring started her morning with a few rounds on her prized punching bag. This was Jasper Brooks, a tough-as-nails punk who grew up in the rough parts of Little Homestead and had to rely on her wits and her strength to survive.
"Oy, Jasper, rise and shine!" Jasper's father, Jameson Brooks, yelled from outside. "It's the first day of school; start prepping already!"
"Whatever." Jasper responded nonchalantly to her father as her punching stopped, and she looked fondly at a photo of herself as a baby with her mother. "Hey, Mom, miss you tons, but Dad and I are still pulling through." She said to the picture while trying not to get too emotional. She had a reputation to uphold, after all. "I know you would've been proud of me."
"Hey, what's keepin' ya?!" Jameson yelled again. "These pancakes ain't gonna eat themselves!"
"I'm coming!" Jasper yelled as she tossed a towel over her shoulders and marched out of her room.
--
"Have fun, Whitney!" Lauren called as she dropped Whitney off at her new high school. "Hope you can make at least one friend today!"
"I hope so too. Love you, Mom!" Whitney yelled back as she turned around to gaze at Crystal High, the number one high school in Little Homestead, and all the cliques that came with being a high school.
"Okay, Jasper, try not to get into too much trouble this year." Jameson said to his daughter as his tow truck pulled up right behind Whitney as the latter girl walked towards the building. "There are only so many football accidents I can help you out of."
"See you later, pops." Jasper responded as she prepared to get out, but her father interrupted her with a hand on her brawny shoulder. "Uh, what is it now?"
"Just wanna say I'm proud of ya for keeping it together." Jameson gave his daughter a genuine smile. "Welp, see ya later."
"Bye." Jasper waved goodbye to her crass but goodhearted dad as his tow truck drove away, and she turned on her heel to walk to another year of high school.
"Okay, Whitney, just gotta play it cool." Whitney said to herself as she looked around at all the various cliques surrounding her. "You're just a by-the-books, plain jane new girl in town who will no doubt initially be looked down upon by your peers for the first couple of weeks. Nothing too huge."
"Hey, new girl, over here!" an overeager dark-skinned girl dressed in teal colors yelled as she raced up to Whitney and gave her a welcoming handshake. "My name's Thea Zick. Welcome to Crystal High! You must be new in town. What's your name?!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Whitney Topaz." Whitney introduced herself to Thea. "My family moved here from Riverdale a few days ago, and this is my first day here."
"I knew you were the new girl in town because I never saw your face before, and I know everyone's faces!" Thea replied happily. "Anyways, welcome to Crystal High, founded in 1987 by Dr. Rebecca Sucrose to further her goal of enriching the education of our youth community." She then began gesturing to each of the cliques. "Here, you can find all the usual cliques you'd see in all the high school movies. Like the cheerleaders, for example."
"They seem happy to be together again." Whitney nodded at the troupe of pink-and-blue uniform-wearing cheerleaders squeeing at seeing each other again after a long summer before taking notice of two in particular. The first had curly blonde hair with blue streaks, and the other had similarly colored hair tied into a ponytail with a golden bow.
"Wanna know a fun fact?" Thea asked. "The co-captains, Lucy and Zoey Lance, are the daughters of our art teacher, Lana Lance."
"Good to know." Whitney agreed before looking at a group of goths. "Those are the goths, right?"
"You bet." Thea proclaimed proudly before gesturing to other cliques. "You also got the nerds, the hipsters, the drama kids, the gamers, the artists, the preps, the delinquents, but our cream of the crop is the sports teams!"
"Yo Jasper, over here!" one of Jasper's fellow football players called for his captain, and they engaged in a secret handshake. "We missed ya, girl!"
"How did working in the old man's garage treat you?" another of Jasper's teammates asked.
"Check it!" Jasper replied as she flexed her muscles, amazing the football team and causing Whitney to gape in adoration.
"Oh yeah, the Crystal High Wildcats. Best football team in the school district!" Thea exclaimed before she noticed that her new friend was stunned. "Uh oh, somebody's got a crush!"
"What? No, I don't!" Whitney fibbed with a laugh. "I mean, she looks really cool and hot, but it's not like I'm going to lie awake at night thinking about her, right?"
"You keep telling yourself that." Thea smiled knowingly before she winced at another student approaching them. "Oh no, hide! It's her!"
"Who are you talking about?" Whitney asked as she saw her new classmates also tremble in fear, cuing the arrival of a tall, distinguished young woman with black hair sticking in an upward point, red-rimmed glasses, a black dress shirt, and matching pants. She was followed by a much smaller girl who could only reach up to her hips wearing a dark blue sweater-vest and pleated skirt, a woman with white high-heeled boots and a blue blouse with her hair in buns, and another cheerleader with a rather catlike face and a dark brown coat & matching hat. "Who are these girls?"
"I'll tell you later; just act natural!" Thea exclaimed as she nervously hid behind Whitney as the four girls approached the new students.
"We know you're hiding behind her, Thea." The lead girl in black announced, forcing Thea out of hiding. "Why didn't you tell us that we were getting a new student?"
"Oh, it's not my fault; she just got here!" Thea sweated in terror, her teeth chattering in fright, while Whitney stared blankly at the four high schoolers before her.
"Welcome to Crystal High, miss…." The lead girl greeted Whitney with a reach of her hand.
"Whitney Topaz." Whitney introduced herself as she shook the other girl's hand. "And you are?"
"My name is of no importance at the moment." The menacing greeter responded. "But since you asked, you may call me Ruth Black. Now, off to homeroom with you. Go on, vamoose!"
"Uhhhh…." Whitney said flatly as Ruth and her posse walked away.
"And the rest of you, get to your classes, or you're all getting a write-up!" Ruth yelled at her classmates, striking fear into their hearts as they scrambled to their homerooms. "That's right, stick to the status quo, everyone!"
"I'm guessing she's the mean girl I have to watch my step around?" Whitney asked Teal as the two blended in with the scrambling students.
"Ruth Black, student council president and effectively the ruler of this school." Thea replied. "We have a principal here, who's really great, by the way, but Ruth basically has everyone under her foot! We don't know why she wakes up in the morning feeling like making everyone's lives a nightmare, but I don't think we wanna know."
"That's terrible, she's terrible!" Whitney yelled loud enough for anyone around her to hear. "Some student council president she is; she's more like a psycho dictator!"
"You said it." Thea responded with a nod. "So many students have wanted to take her down a peg, but they're too scared to pull through with it because she's just that powerful!"
"Well, someone oughta do something about this!" Whitney declared. "In fact, I nominate myself to help everyone make their school year brighter!"
"Good on you for wanting to finish the fight!" Thea responded happily. "Hey, that reminds me, which homeroom teacher do you have?"
"Oh, I got Ms. Thomas." Whitney said. "How about you?"
"No way, me too!" Thea exclaimed. "She's in Room 111; I think you'll really like her!"
As the two girls searched for their homeroom, another girl whose left eye was hidden behind her bangs watched the duo's conversation before scurrying away to warn her superiors about Whitney's plans.
--
"I don't know, Miss Black, aren't these budget cuts a little drastic?" the guidance counselor Pearl Hall asked as she and Principal Estelle Garrett met with Ruth Black in the principal's office. "I mean, I consider music and art classes to be absolutely vital in youth development!"
"Oh please, I'm plenty developed as is." Ruth scoffed with a shrug. "I never required such classes, so why should everyone else?"
"Remember that regardless of your high status, you're just as much of a student here as the other teenagers here." Estelle tried to bring Ruth's egotism down a peg. "You may think that just because you emerged victorious in the student council elections, you'd use that as an excuse to abuse the power that comes with it, but-"
"Yeah, I know. I'm still just a girl at the end of the day!" Ruth unemphatically cut the principal off before she heard a knock at the door. "I'll get that." She opened the office door to find a panicked Irene on the other side, letting her in. "Irene, my trusted eyes and ears of the entire school, any updates?" Unfortunately, Irene was a little too exhausted and nervous to say any whole sentences, so Ruth just translated her panting. "Wait, Dripping Yellow Madness is back? I thought he moved out after the fifth grade!"
"I'm so sorry; I just ran fast because I needed to warn you." Irene replied. "It's that new girl, Whitney Topaz! She says she wants to change how you run this place, or something like that. She even outright called you a psycho dictator!"
"The new girl wants to help everyone?" Pearl exclaimed in delight. "I'm so excited!" An enraged Ruth glared at the guidance counselor. "I mean, I'm so scared!"
"Emergency council meeting at once." Ruth grumbled as she stormed out of Principal Garrett's office. "I will not tolerate this threat to my power!"
"Looks like someone can't tolerate change too." Estelle snarked as Ruth slammed the door on her way out. "Pearl, I suggest we keep an eye out on this Topaz girl. And tell the other teachers to do the same. I have a feeling she really could make a change here."
"I'll call them to your office during transition." Pearl smiled in response. "Ooh, finally, someone who can save us!"
--
Meanwhile, in Room 111, Mrs. Thomas's homeroom students were all sitting at their desks waiting for their teacher to arrive. Whitney and Thea were seated right next to each other, and unbeknownst to them at the moment, Jasper Brooks was sitting not too far away from the duo. Just then, a woman who looked more likely to be a student with an amethyst brooch attached to her black jacket strolled into the room and sat at her desk. "Morning, everyone. My name's Amy Thomas; I hope you had a great summer! Now, before we start rollcall, let's introduce the new student."
"Hi, everyone; my name's Whitney Topaz." Whitney greeted her new classmates with a smile. "I moved here from Riverdale in Empire State just last weekend, so I hope all of you are just as friendly as my old friends from there."
"Thanks for the heads-up, Whitney. Now let's get roll calling!" Mrs. Thomas said as she pulled out an attendance sheet. "Apologies if I'm going in random order; I didn't have enough time to alphabetize everything. Anyways, Tommy Oliver?"
"Here." A muscular man dressed in a green and white jacket said.
"Sue Heck?" Amy continued reading the attendance sheet.
"Present!" a dorky, brown-haired girl wearing braces exclaimed cheerfully.
"Joey Wheeler?"
"Nyeh, here." A blonde man shuffling a deck of cards responded with a Brooklyn accent.
"Candace Flynn?"
"Uh, here." An orange-haired girl with an unusually long neck said with an awkward wave of her hand.
"I think I like her already." Whitney said to Thea about Mrs. Thomas as the roll call continued. "She looks like she'd rather belong with us students, which makes her instantly relatable."
"Whitney Topaz?" Amy asked for Whitney's name.
"Here!" Whitney exclaimed while raising her hand.
"Good to know you're still onboard." Amy smiled at the new girl. "Thea Zick?"
"Ooh, that's me, that's me!" Thea waved her arms eagerly at hearing her name called.
"Chipper as always, TZ." Amy grinned before returning to roll call. "Okay, who's next? Jasper Brooks?"
"Here." Jasper snorted as she gazed out the window all nonchalantly, finally making Whitney realize that she had shared a homeroom with her new crush. Everything about her seemed perfect to the new student, from her big muscles to her punk rock outfit, the stripes on her arms, her wild hair, and that sense of rebellious nonchalance she carried with her.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing right now?!" Whitney muttered in shock to Thea. "That's the girl I had the hots for earlier! What was her name again?"
"Jasper Brooks, you have a crush on the Jasper Brooks!" Thea replied excitedly. "If you date her, maybe we could be in with the cool kids!"
"Okay everyone, that should be it for rollcall!" Amy declared as she finished listing off her homeroom students. "Go ahead and get comfortable until the bell rings." The students then began getting out of their desks to greet each other, talk about their summers, and get introduced to Whitney. But she had her eyes on someone else.
"Hi, my name's Whitney!" Whitney introduced herself to Jasper as she began blushing like no tomorrow. "I'm sure you've already heard my name a couple of dozen times, but I want to get to know you better! You're Jasper Brooks, right?"
"Yep." Jasper said tersely. "You said you were from Riverdale, right? Home of The Archies?"
"Oh yeah, Archie and his gang were all great pals." Whitney replied. "Maybe someday I could introduce you to them all. Speaking of which, you're on the football team, right?"
"Captain of the Crystal High Wildcats, to be precise." Jasper responded. "You want to come watch me practice after school?"
"Oh, I'd love to, but I have to get home so I can help my family unpack all our stuff from the move." Whitney declined sadly. "But if you'd like, maybe I could text you. Want my phone number? It's 1 (212) 867-5309."
"Thanks for the number." Jasper responded after entering Whitney's number into her phone. "I'll, uh, see you around. What classes do you have next?"
"I got art with Mrs. Lance." Whitney answered. "Ooh, I love art! This is gonna be so much fun!"
"What a coincidence, I got that class too." Jasper grinned in realization. "Any other classes we might happen to share?"
"Well, after that is gym with Ms. Matthews, then science with Mrs. Perry, English with Mr. Sanchez, Spanish with Senor Esteban, lunch, and finally math with Mr. Powers." Whitney responded. "You?"
"I got Matthews, Perry, and Powers too, coincidentally." Jasper added. "Wow, we got a lot of classes together. It's almost like we were destined to meet or something."
"Yeah, maybe." Whitney chuckled awkwardly as her blush got even brighter. Before Jasper could catch on, the two were cut off by Thea squealing in delight over their conversation. "Thea!"
"I can't believe it. Only one conversation, and you got her number!" Thea yelled excitedly. "This is going to be so awesome!" But contrary to what Thea said, someone didn't think things were awesome. Ruth Black shared a homeroom with Whitney, Jasper, and Thea, and she was not happy with what she had just watched.
--
As Whitney began getting used to her new routine at Crystal High and becoming closer to Jasper once homeroom ended, they were unwise to the fact that a sinister plot was brewing right beneath their noses.
"If it cannot break out of its shell, the chick will die without being born. We are the chick; the world is our egg." Ruth monologued to herself as the student council assembled in a meeting room under her orders. "If we don't crack the world's shell, we will die without being born. Smash the world's shell."
"For the revolution of the world!" the student council concluded for Ruth as they were seated at their places at the table. Aside from Ruth herself as their leader, there was the secretary Marina Black, one of the highest-scoring students in Crystal High; the hall monitor Agatha Holly, social media expert, treasurer, and cheer squad representative Catherine "Cat" Eyre. In addition, there was the debate team leader and council advisor Cindy Barr; dance squad leader Kylie Newman, class representative Piper Ryan; sports team manager Jazz Day and her girlfriend Zelda Sullivan; extracurricular activity manager Blair Stone; and co-advisor Xanthe Turner.
"Now, you may wonder why I have gathered you all today." Ruth inquired her council.
"Let me guess, is it that new girl everyone's been talking about?" Marina responded.
"Yes, exactly, it is because of the new girl." Ruth answered quietly before she started yelling. "OF COURSE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE NEW GIRL! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE BE THIS MUCH OF A THREAT TO MY CONTROL OVER THIS SCHOOL AFTER ONLY A FEW PERIODS?!"
"Pardon me for asking Miss Black, but could anyone tell me who the new girl is?" Cindy asked her superior.
"Whitney Topaz, age 16, born February 4, 2001, in Riverdale, Empire State." Agatha read from Whitney's new records. "She has only just started here after moving out of Riverdale due to a job transfer, but it seems the girl has already made a name for herself."
"Haven't seen a new student become this notorious since that Parker boy from a few years back." Catherine purred as she typed away on her phone with a lollipop in her mouth. "Anyone remember him, the little dweeb who suddenly became on par with an Olympian and started getting all the girls?"
"I actually kinda miss that guy." Kylie replied. "We only went on one date before he had to run off, but he was a pretty sweet guy. I hope he and his aunt are doing well."
"Back on subject, we cannot let Whitney's rebellion continue," Ruth stated. "I didn't win the council election in a landslide and earned myself a full-ride scholarship to Diamond University just to let the mother of all generic awkward new girls try to take my place as the talk of the town! And what's worse? She's apparently had eyes for Jasper Brooks, my ex-girlfriend, might I add!"
The rest of the council gasped in shock before they erupted into chattering. "Am I hearing things, or is Whitney having feelings for Brooks of all people?" Jazz asked Zelda.
"Those two won't last a week!" Zelda rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"I'll give them eleven to twenty-two minutes." Piper added.
"We have to do something about this!" Blair yelled. "What kind of dirt on her family can we expose to the public and permanently tarnish her reputation? That always seems to work!"
"From what I've gathered, the Topazes seem to be your perfectly average upper-middle-class nuclear family." Xanthe answered coldly. "Not a one of them seems to have any criminal history, or at the very least have performed any dirty deeds for dirt cheap."
"Order everyone, order!" Ruth yelled as she commanded silence with a bang of a gavel. "We must act quickly before she does anything out of the ordinary! I have worked day and night, micromanaging this school to fit my expectations! Someone hand me Whitney's schedule!"
"Right here, Miss Black." Irene said as she handed the schedule to Ruth, who began looking it over.
"Well, what a surprise. It seems she and Jasper have some classes together this year." Ruth growled as she adjusted her glasses and was handed Jasper's schedule as well. "Girls, I have a little mission for you all."
--
Outside of the meeting, Whitney and Jasper were now at their next class of the day, which was art with Mrs. Lance, the mother of the cheerleading squad's co-captains Lucy and Zoey, dressed in a blue, short-sleeve sweater with gold cuffs, some blue jeans, and a pair of sandals.
"Good morning, everyone. I'm happy that you all made it today." Lana Lance greeted her students. "Considering that I'm in constant danger of losing my job because apparently, I don't teach any vital skills, I'm just delighted to see that people still want to learn art, or meep-morps as I call them."
"Uh, why do you call them meep-morps, anyways?" Whitney raised her hand with a question.
"I don't know, I just went out with the science teacher one night, and we thought it would be funny." Lana chuckled before she continued. "Anyways, over this school year, we'll be doing art projects together in groups of two, so pick your partner. You two will be stuck together for the whole year."
"I already know who I'm picking!" Whitney said as she looked at Jasper, who just blushed as she looked away.
"Oh, you're picking Jasper?" Lana asked Whitney. "What's your name, kid?"
"My name's Whitney Topaz." Whitney introduced herself to her art teacher. "Why, does Jasper not like working in pairs?"
"No, I just wanted to give you a little fun fact." Lana smirked at Jasper's expense. "Jasper actually had a crush on me the first time she was in my class."
"Mrs. Lance!" Jasper yelled in embarrassment. "I kept telling you, I was a dumb teenager at the time, and I'm over it now!"
"I know. I just find it so funny." Lana laughed. "Anyways, I want all my pairs to partner up and start drawing for the day. I shall hand out your sketchbooks immediately."
"What did Mrs. Lance say about constantly being in danger of joblessness?" Whitney murmured to Jasper as everyone received the sketchbooks they would keep for the year.
"Tyrannical student council thinks art isn't a valuable subject to teach." Jasper responded. "I'm sure you may have heard from Thea, but they rule this school."
"Art isn't valuable?!" Whitney exclaimed while Marina Blue secretly stole one of the sketchbooks to throw out, thus making Lana one book short of giving to a student. "Well, in my opinion, art is very valuable because it allows you to express yourself in infinite ways!"
"Ooh, sorry, Whitney, but I think we suddenly ran out of sketchbooks." Lana said sadly as she handed Jasper her empty sketchbook. "But if you'd like, I have some spares coming next week. Until then, maybe you can share with your partner."
"Sure, why not?" Jasper shrugged in agreement, making Whitney hug her new friend in excitement as Marina cursed herself for not considering the art teacher's quick thinking.
"Okay, now that we all have sketchbooks, let's start with a few basic portraits first." Lana stated as she guided her class through the lesson of the day.
--
Once art was finished, it was time for gym with Biddie Matthews, a powerfully built middle-aged woman easily identified by her dyed rainbow dreadlocks and a star tattoo on her upper arm. "Okay, gang, when you're in the gym with me, expect things to get a little intense! Now, I won't go so hard on you guys, but be warned that trips to the nurse's office will be frequent."
"Like, are you challenging me or something?" a hippie-looking boy with shaggy hair dared the gym teacher.
"Easy, Rogers." Biddie said to the student. "Now, in my gym, I got three rules you should all live by! One, be quick on your feet, because you never know when there's a bad situation where you need to hightail out of there. Two, keep a cool head. Gym can be stressful, but don't get too wound up when you screw up. And three, there's no such thing as "I can't do this." We don't go no time for such negativity. The only words you need are, "Let me give this a shot." Are we clear on that?!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Biddie's students declared obediently.
"That's what I wanna hear out of my class!" Biddie exclaimed proudly. "Now then, first things first, let's indulge in an old classic." She whipped out a dodgeball from behind her back. "Last man standing wins!"
"Oh poo, dodgeball." Jasper groaned in disgust.
"Come on, Jasper, dodgeball is pretty fun." Whitney smiled happily as the madness began.
"Not with Ms. Matthews." Jasper said as she casually punched a dodgeball away from her and Whitney. "She means well, but when she's in the zone, there's no stopping her."
"Watch out!" Whitney yelled as she dove in front of Jasper to protect her from another dodgeball. This one seemed to hit harder than all the rest, as if it was filled with rocks or something. "I'm okay!"
"Thanks, Whitney!" Jasper thanked Whitney while helping her up, the two of them unaware that the rock-filled dodgeball was courtesy of Kylie, who chuckled mischievously as she retreated into the shadows.
"Okay, clods, listen up!" the diminutive science teacher Dot Perry declared harshly while dramatically blowing her green lab-coat back like a cape. "I run a pretty tight ship here, so I won't tolerate any kind of chicanery here!"
"Uh, Mrs. Perry, what will we do here?" Whitney asked while raising her hand.
"Come on, if you ever took science class, you should know what to expect here." Dot answered. "We'll be doing experiments, discussing the scientific method, learning about chemistry, anatomy, genetics, and all sorts of things! But thanks to a certain student council, they won't be as fun and exciting as you'd think science would be."
"Well, that's not very fair." Whitney pouted. "Someone should do something about this, someone like me!"
"Oh, I've heard about you around school lately." Dot proclaimed. "You're the new girl, Whitney Topaz, right? Maybe your free thinking could help make a change around here."
"Oh, thank you, I'd be honored to be your teaching assistant around here!" Whitney yelled excitedly and shook Mrs. Perry's hand. "I think this school needs a little touch of Riverdale friendliness!" Catherine simply rolled her eyes at Whitney's declaration before writing down ideas for sabotage in her notebook.
--
Next up on Whitney's schedule was English, which was the first class she didn't share with Jasper. On the plus side, she finally reunited with Thea at last, and Thea has already begun spreading the good word about Whitney's efforts to overturn Ruth's tyranny, making her the talk of the class as Mr. Sanchez began speaking.
"Okay, guys, if we're done talking about the new girl, then allow me to introduce myself." Mr. Sanchez said after gulping a can of soda and burping. "My name is Mr. Sanchez, and I'll be your English teacher for the year. Let's get some ground rules out of the way first." While the English teacher began his lecture, Cindy spied on Whitney and Thea from the back of the room, noticing how close the two had become today.
--
Another class Whitney and Thea shared together was Spanish with Senor Esteban, and they were in the same class as another student council member. Agatha Holly was recording their interactions and how close they seemed while balancing it with dutifully paying attention to Senor Esteban.
--
Following Spanish, it was time for lunch, but unfortunately for Whitney, the food being served didn't seem all that inviting to her.
"Beef jerky, clams, grape punch." The lunch lady said flatly as she served Whitney precisely that.
"Wait, is this all we're being served for lunch?" Whitney asked about her lunch. "Man, this is pretty boring."
"Student council says it's still good for you, no matter how bland it is." The lunch lady responded. "Clams are good for your heart, beef jerky is filled is protein, minerals, and vitamins, and grape punch has a decent amount of carbs."
"Yeah, but would it kill you to have more variety?" Whitney suggested. "Like, try something new like pizza, nachos, burgers, anything zestier than this!"
"You know, you got a good point." The lunch lady agreed with a smile. "Hey, you're that new kid, right? Thanks for the tip. Now please move. You're holding up the line."
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" Whitney apologized as she noticed all her impatient classmates in line to get their meals as she raced towards the nearest open table, which coincidentally was where Thea and Jasper were sitting. "Hey, guys! Did you save a spot for little ol' me?"
"You bet we did!" Thea replied happily and hugged Whitney. "So what took you so long?"
"I just wanted to point out to the lunchlady that she should have some more variety in our lunches." Whitney explained. "I mean seriously, beef jerky, clams, and grape punch every day?"
"Been that way ever since Ruth took power." Jasper revealed before she pulled out a paper bag with her name on it. "Luckily, I had my dad pack my lunch ever since."
"Aw, that's so sweet." Whitney cooed as Jasper pulled out a peanut butter sandwich, some tater tots, a bottle of chocolate milk, and a small pack of ketchup. "Anyone want to share?"
"How could I not?" Whitney laughed and reached for the same tot that Jasper was going to take, causing the two to blush at each other while Thea watched as she drank her grape punch. Meanwhile, some student council members gathered at another table not too far away.
"The others were right. They are close." Xanthe stated while sitting down with Jazz, Zelda, Piper, Blair, and Irene. "Maybe a little too close."
"What if we try breaking them up somehow?" Piper suggested while cracking open a clam. "You all know I love some good romantic drama."
"Unfortunately, as Xanthe said, there's nothing we can do to spoil her reputation." Zelda declared. "Unless one of us perhaps makes her an offer she can't possibly refuse."
"Are you suggesting we get her to join us?" Jazz wondered eagerly. "I love your thinking, honey bear!"
"Ooh, Jazzy, you dog!" Zelda barked seductively, much to the annoyance of Piper, Blair, and Irene.
"Get a room, you two!" Blair yelled at the couple. "Or, in this case, a doghouse."
"I'll do it." Irene nominated herself to make the offer without being prompted and marched over to Whitney, Jasper, and Thea's table. "Hello there, Miss Topaz. Since you are so popular around here, might I suggest an opportunity to join us at the student council?"
Thea was momentarily terrified, but thankfully her concerns were alleviated by Whitney's answer. "Oh, that'd be great, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline for now."
"Rats!" Irene shouted and marched back to her table in shame.
--
While Whitney had lunch with her new best friend and her crush, some of her new teachers had gotten together to discuss the new arrival to Crystal High.
"So, it's great that you all found the time to join us today." Pearl said to Lana, Biddie, Amy, and Dot. "And I suppose you might already know why you're here."
"Whitney." Lana and Dot said in unison.
"Whitney." Biddie added.
"Whitney!" Amy declared. "She really brightened my day the moment I called her name."
"Now, let's not shill Whitney too much, lest her head gets as big as Ruth's." Garrett snickered before looking up at a painting dedicated to their old friend and the school's former principal Rosemary Diamond. "But her kind heart and free-thinking really remind me of Rose back when we attended Diamond University together."
"I miss Rose." Amy replied nostalgically. "Maybe we should get back together for lunch someday."
"Oh, that would be great!" Pearl agreed with the homeroom teacher while trying to hide her blush, indicating that she still held a torch for Rose. "Now, back to Whitney, I find it amazing that she wants to change our student body for the better."
"Yeah, plus I'd no longer have to be in danger of unemployment now." Lana stated. "What do you think? Should I get Lucy and Zoey to put her on the cheer squad?"
"Ooh, I got a better idea!" Dot exclaimed. "Why don't we have her give a big speech at the big game in a few weeks?"
"That would be a great idea!" Biddie concurred with the science teacher's idea. "That way, everyone can do their part in cleaning up this school!"
"Then it's agreed." Estelle smiled. "I'll call her parents at once and see what they think. I'm sure they'll love to hear what we think about their daughter."
--
"Good grief, who had the bright idea of teaching math at the end of the day?" Jasper grumbled as she and Whitney headed to their final class for the day together. "I mean, school is already stressful enough, but putting the most stressful subject you can imagine at the end of the day? It's absurd!"
"Well, don't you worry your pretty little head because you got me to keep you sane till it's time to go." Whitney replied while patting Jasper on the head. "Besides, you got practice later, so that should allow you to vent your frustrations healthily."
"Hey, new girl!" Lucy Lance exclaimed as she and her younger sister Zoey approached Whitney and Jasper. "We've heard that you've been doing wonders for the other students, and personally, I think your positive attitude would be killer for the squad!"
"Yeah, wanna come practice with us?" Zoey added. "We got a spare pair of pom poms with your name on them!"
"Oh, I'd love to join the squad, but I think I'll have to turn you guys down for now." Whitney declined the Lance sisters' offer. "But I'd totally be open to joining later when I have the time. When can I come to tryouts?"
"We'll be holding them in a few weeks." Zoey revealed. "Be there or be square!"
"It's a date!" Whitney responded happily as she took Jasper's hand, and the four girls walked into math class together. Once again, however, not one of them realized that a student council member was watching them. Furious about Whitney possibly being on the same cheerleading team as her, Catherine gritted her teeth so hard that she broke the candy part into pieces.
--
"Hey everyone, I'm home!" Whitney called to her family once she returned home at the end of the day after saying goodbye to Jasper and Thea.
"Welcome back, Whitney!" Lauren replied as she fixed an after-school snack for Kenny. "How was your first day today?"
"It was good." Whitney answered as she sat down at the kitchen table. "I managed to make some new friends, but they were all being oppressed by this really horrible student council, and I saw fit to try and change things, which quickly made me the talk of the town."
"Oh, that reminds me, honey." Ash said as he emerged from another room with a phone in hand. "I got a call from the principal earlier, and apparently, they're so happy with what you're doing; they even said they want you to make a big speech at the big game later this month!"
"Oh my gosh, really?!" Kenny exclaimed in delight. "Whitty, that's awesome!"
"I know, right?!" Whitney replied as the Topaz family got together for a big group hug. "And even better, I think I got a crush on someone!"
"A crush already?" Ash grinned. "And on the first day of school, no less. Back when I was in high school, it only took until the Halloween party for your mother and I to get together."
"That reminds me, you need any help with your speech?" Lauren asked her daughter.
"Naw, I think I already know what to write." Whitney said as she left the kitchen and went to her room to write her speech. "Just wait till everyone back at Riverdale hears about this!" Opening up her laptop and creating a new document to type on, Whitney began jotting down her speech. "Thank you, Crystal High, for making me feel so welcome here."
--
As the weeks progressed, more students and teachers became influenced by Whitney's positive thinking and free spirit the more they got to know her. No longer would they be shackled by Ruth's tyranny. Instead, they'd be free to do whatever they wanted. Dot was able to make science class more interesting, the lunches had more variety, Lana could no longer worry about losing her job, and the student council's authority was being questioned more often by the day. Ruth Black couldn't stand it any longer, Whitney needed to be brought to her level no matter what, and she knew just what to do.
Eventually, it came time for the big football game to kick off the fall sports season between the Little Homestead Wildcats and the Keystone Oxen. Sports fans from across town gathered at the school football stadium, eager to watch the intense action between the rival teams. The two teams were evenly matched by halftime, with the score being 12 to 12.
"We are the Wildcats!" the school's cheerleading team sang, with Lucy and Zoey taking the lead. "We're here to win this game! And if you think we can't, we'll try all the same!" As their cheer concluded, the squad began forming a pyramid. "That's why the students of Little Homestead, will cheer for!"
"Lacey Carruthers!" Desirée Glass exclaimed.
"Toni Paul!" Catherine added.
"And Olivia Snow." Zoey sang.
"And Jasper Brooks!" Lucy concluded, to the rejoicing of their adoring fans as the pyramid came apart and Lucy was handed a megaphone. "Thanks for coming out, everyone! Yes, we're all very beautiful, and our players are the cream of the crop, but tonight, we got a special announcement to make."
"Everyone's favorite new kid in town, Whitney Topaz, is here to give a very special speech!" Zoey exclaimed as she ripped the megaphone from her sister's hands. "Now, let's make some noise!"
As the crowd began chanting for Whitney, Catherine snuck away from her fellow cheerleaders and saw Ruth in the audience before giving her a knowing wink. "Good luck out there, sweetheart!" Catherine purred as she passed by the Topaz family and Thea in the stadium halls, covertly stealing Whitney's speech and replacing it with a fake and more profane copy. "Trust me, word of mouth will spread fast."
"Hey, thanks Cat." Whitney smiled as she walked out to the stadium, blissfully unaware that her life could soon be over.
"Good luck, dear!" Ash called out to Whitney before he saw Jasper passing him by, ready to hit the showers. "Hello there! You must be Jasper, right?" he asked. "My name's Ash; I'm Whitney's father. Meet my wife Lauren and our son Kenny."
"Wow, you're just as big as I'd thought you'd be!" Kenny gasped in awe at Jasper's size.
"Ha, that's what she said!" Jasper cackled and tried giving Kenny a high-five, but he had no idea what she had just said.
"Uh, what did she say?" Kenny asked curiously, his innocent ears trying to comprehend the football player's dirty joke.
"You'll know when you're older." Lauren laughed as she covered her son's ears before she noticed something at her feet. "Hey, what's that paper for?"
"Let me see that." Jasper said as she picked up the paper and began to read it, coming to the slow and horrified realization that she was reading Whitney's speech and had seemingly forgotten it. "Oh no, I have to get this to her, quick!"
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Ash replied. "Go, go, go!" At the father's command, Jasper raced out to the field to help Whitney before she could make a huge mistake.
--
"Everything is going according to plan." Ruth smirked as Whitney walked onto the green field, ready to give her speech. "Thanks to Irene, I learned that the teachers offered Whitney to make a speech about how much she will change the school. But luckily, I was able to forge a fake speech in the nick of time that will no doubt ruin her cred the moment she finishes it! All the profanity, all the prejudiced remarks, seeing the reactions will be so invigorating!"
"Good evening, everyone; thank you so much for having me here tonight." Whitney said to the spectators. "First off, I just want to thank Principal Garrett and all the wonderful teachers of Crystal High for giving me this opportunity to spread my mission of love and change to everyone here tonight." The crowd began cheering for the principal and her employees before Whitney continued. "Anyways, I've worked very hard on this speech for the past couple of weeks, and I'd be pleased as punch to share it with you all."
"Whitney, WAIT!" Jasper yelled as she raced back onto the field with Whitney's real speech in hand. "You forgot this. I found it on the floor."
"Wait, that can't be my speech; this is my speech!" Whitney said before she opened her paper to discover the false and very crude speech written to taint her reputation. And the one thing that indicated who the writer was. "Wait, "Student Council rules, Whitney Topaz drools"?!"
"Oh no, she's onto us!" Ruth exclaimed as the student council attempted to make a break for it, only to be cornered at every turn by their fellow spectators who were not happy with their attempted sabotage. "No, this can't be happening!"
"Oh yes, it is, Miss Black." Estelle said as she and Pearl loomed over Ruth. "Did you seriously forge a speech to ruin Whitney's reputation?"
"Yes, of course I did because I was jealous!" Ruth hurriedly admitted. "Jealous that this new girl who's only been in school for a few weeks, yet everyone loves her and fears me! Why is it always the nice people that get attention instead of the ones who demand your respect?!"
"Well, maybe it's because they actually do unto others as they would do to them." Pearl scoffed. "Honestly, Ruth, I expected better from you. As of today, you will be removed from the student council. And we need to discuss that scholarship of yours too."
This caused all the students to cheer over finally being freed from Ruth's tyranny as Ruth herself curled up into a ball of woe. And then, as if to hammer her despair in even further, her former slaves started singing.
"Finally free, finally free, finally free everyone!" everyone began performing an expertly choreographed musical number to celebrate. "Finally free, finally free, finally free, let's have fun! Finally free to just be me!"
"At long last, it's time for celebration! Let's bring down the house!" Whitney began singing along with the crowd and had her first kiss with Jasper in the process, sealing their romance. "It's meant to be that we can all be free; come on and sing it loud!"
"Did you think you'd have us all under control?! My, you took a real nasty fall!" Jasper tauntingly harmonized in Ruth's face, who was simply not having enough of it and decided to make herself scarce. "If we just loved each other for who we are, then we can-"
"TOPAZ!" Jasper's voice echoed throughout the field of dancing spectators, much to Whitney's surprise. "TOPAZ!"
"Wait, Jasper?" Whitney asked. "I thought we were all singing?"
"Singing?" Jasper replied. "You need to wake up!"
--
"Yo, is she gonna be okay?" Amethyst asked as she, Jasper, Garnet, Pearl, Teal Zircon, Lapis, Peridot, Bismuth, Black Rutile's gang, and the Lapis twins all gazed upon a sleeping White Topaz. "Can I poke her even harder?"
"AGH, FINALLY FREE!" White Topaz yelled as she finally woke up and saw all her friends, and others in her company, surrounding her. "What just happened?"
"You fell asleep binging all those Boarding School Broadway movies," Garnet replied. "Is anything the matter?"
"I had the craziest dream, and everyone I knew was there!" White Topaz exclaimed before pointing to everyone she saw in her dream. "And you were there, and you were there, and you! And we were all humans in high school!"
"High school?" Pearl raised an eyebrow at White Topaz's declaration. "Like in Peridot's fanfictions?"
"Ah yes, the high school AU." Peridot observed with a hand to her chin. "Tell me all the details, White Topaz."
"Well, I was the new girl in town, and Black Rutile was the student council president who ruled the school with an iron fist!" White Topaz explained, earning her a glare from her former superior. "Jasper was the football captain I had a crush on, Teal was my first best friend, my teachers included Amethyst, Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth, and I was about to accidentally ruin my reputation before the situation was resolved in a pretty rushed fashion."
"Okay, I think we need to simmer down on all those weird teen shows and movies for you." Lapis smirked as she turned off the movie. "And I thought chili gave you vivid dreams." The preceding one-liner incited mass laughter from the Gems gathered, but it quickly turned awkward and strained before stopping entirely.
"Now what?" Bismuth asked.
--
Now what indeed, Bismuth. This was certainly an interesting and very long chapter to write, and yes, I do admit I had to rush that ending to get it out on time. But in all seriousness, I think I had fun writing my take on a Human Gems AU and if you've seen my episode list, this won't be the last time the concept will be brought up. But in the meantime, next up is a very special two-parter featuring our favorite parody of the MI6 agent on her majesty's secret service with a license to kill. Ladies and gentlemen, next chapter will reintroduce us to Jones. Bane Jones.

1, 8, and 12 for the artist asks? :3
Aw yeah, thanks for asking!
how would you describe your style
A decent imitation of Steven Universe by some dude who had already accepted that he was not meant to draw.
8. what’s the most fun and the least fun parts about your process
I'd say the most fun part is when I draw super expressive (especially happy/excited) faces, and really get to portray pure emotion. This especially happens during the sketch phase, when anything goes.
The least fun part is when I take so much time on a drawing that I stay up til 3 AM.
12. show us an old drawing
Tumblr media
In case you needed proof that my drawing style pre-Steven Universe imitating wasn't good. This drawing of my Time Lord!Jamie AU (where Jamie is a Time Lord called The Piper) is from all the way back in September 2014. I actually forgot that I used to add in characters' eye colors back then.
This was a cool ask game! Thanks again for sending a message.

Hey howdy hey!
Here's a list of my Hatchetfield AUs! Why am I giving you this? Because it's funny how many I've created at this point, and I'm obsessed and have serious issues... Anyways:
AU's I've made in order:
- Watcher World: This AU is based around the relationship of Piper (my OC) and Charlotte, who took a trip to Watcher World, and barely made it out alive.
- Sinners: In this AU, Charlotte is a crazy religious woman who kills a lot of people along the way. Until she's killed in the end-
- Hanahaki: This is an AU I made where I'm shipping Melissa and Charlotte together. Why? Because I thought it was a cute ship. Until I decided to give Melissa the Hanahaki disease and make two canon endings: Melissa ends up dying, or Melissa and Charlotte get together and she lives.
- MelChar (regular): It's the much more wholesome version of the Hanahaki AU. No one dies in this, but there is some trauma along the way (COUGH Sam.)
- Escape: This AU is centered around 7 characters: Alexa (OC), Sawyer (OC), Charlotte, Melissa, Emma, Piper, and Harper (OC). They're all captured and thrown into an escape room, and need to solve puzzles in order to escape. Only 6 of them leave alive.
- Silly Apocalypse: I have like 3 posts dedicated to this AU, you can find way more information there. But basically I threw in my own Lord in Black character for shits and giggles and made an Apocalypse AU with him.
- Fusion: I had a Steven Universe moment and decided to take characters and fuse them. Alexa and Henry form Henlexa, and Charlotte and Melissa form Clarissa. There's more fusions I've been messing with recently, but this is mostly an AU I'm still getting ideas for.
- Swap: I decided to swap the Beanies crew and the Office crew. I also swapped a bunch of other characters, especially including OCs because I was running out of characters (I saw a version of the Swap AU on tiktok that I found recently, and they're way more creative with it imo.)
- Hero x Villain: This was based off of an AU idea my best friend had (Half of the OCs belong to him). I'm basically shipping Charlotte with his OC Alexa, because Charlotte can be shipped with a shocking amount of characters and it's hilarious. But with a twist: Charlotte is a hero, and Alexa is a villain. The sidekicks are Harper and Piper, who are upset over how oblivious the two are. I have SO MUCH ART with these guys, and more on the way.
- Deathly Weeks: This AU is all about Piper. Piper's week keeps repeating over and over, starting on the 16th of April, and ending the 22nd. But there's a twist: Every loop on the 22nd, someone always ends up dying. I'm currently writing an entire story on Wattpad about this.
- Were-cat: I was feeling bored and silly and made the classic Werewolf AU with Melissa. Except she's a cat instead of a wolf... That's literally it. Trauma ensues, some comfort here and there, it's just chaos.
- Bloody Sand: This AU is focused around Alexa and Piper's relationship. Piper is uh... Piper is a huge asshole in this AU, we hate Bloody Sand! Piper. They're literally a terror in this, and traumatized everyone, especially Alexa. Also she killed like 2 people-
- Mermaids: Surprise, it's another MelChar AU. Charlotte is a mermaid, and Melissa is a human. Humor and Chaos ensues. This AU is still fairly new, so I don't know if I'm going to traumatize them or not.
Welcome to the crazy world that is my imagination and brain 🧠✨

Another fanart for @teenageukulelescreamo‘s Homeraised SU AU because I’m excited about it!
This lady Pearl.. intrigues me a lot, she’s pretty, but she looks so off
I’m sure Steven also has mixed feelings about seeing his Pearl in this state, but it’s only my own interpretation for noow Before you ask Cosmo (the author of this AU)... don’t trust them, there is a comic. It’s just that for now you have to find it in your heart!

So I have an idea based on some art and another blog, @ask-pjocrystalgems. It’s a Heroes of Olympus x Steven Universe AU. I want to write it, but I’m not sure if I should. I know I don’t have many followers, but if anyone wants to vote, go ahead. I have a majority of it fleshed out, so if you want to know more about it I’ll make that post later

i saw your tags in the link steven universe type fusion charm post, what is missing links?
Missing Links is my Linked Universe spinoff au! I actually recently made a post about its Links, though I've made a better picture of Piper since then. My plan is actually to release the first chapter of Missing Links within the next three days.
If you want the short version, though, the Links are as follows
Piper: The Hero of Force, Spirit Tracks
Taps: The Renegade Hero, Breath of the Wild's tapestry legend
Soldier: The Hero Triumphant, Age of Calamity
Fox: The Faux Hero/The Token Hero/The Hero of Truth, Triforce Heroes (not technically a Link, named Mykel, is the boy with pink hair outside of Hytopia Castle; he has three titles for plot reasons)
Cadenza: The Hero of Song, Cadence of Hyrule
Kasuto: The Hero of Kasuto Village, Adventure of Link (not technically a Link, named Lynn, made from 1986 misprint Link)
Prima: The Hero of Mudora, Pre-Skyward Sword
Shard: The Hero of Jewels, Four Swords Adventures

⭐!
Hades!Jason was/is probably the biggest struggle in dearly departed because compared to Nico he is not as well developed in canon; so his core here is his sense of duty, need to protect people, and his selflessness. The fun part of this though is when @ariihen and I were spitballing about Jason, we joked he’d be a lot like Steven Universe! A sweet kid with a lot of expectations thrown upon him but not really understanding what that means until it starts to scare him. He’s especially similar to Steven Universe from Future all the way to the “I’m a monster” because people view him in such a certain way and you can see it eating at him.
I actually have a hard time wrapping my head around godswap aus to begin with because I feel like there are changes to characters based on the circumstances they’ve grown up in and who their godly parent is, and the entire concept launched from me admitting I didn’t enjoy them too much because i view them as being too OOC (fun fact: siamo nei guai has three chapters of a sequel written but I stopped writing it back then because Pluto!nico’s core and his new environment were hard for me to marry in my head; maybe some day I’ll get back to it).
But! I really wanted Jason (and Nico) to still feel very much like themselves instead of “Jason would do this because Nico did this in canon,” which is why we went to Russia instead of Portugal right away. I think I found a sweet spot in Jason’s character in the following ways:
Canon Jason never wanted to be a hero. He talks about how he’s used to eyes on him as a “prince in waiting” and specifically how he tried to avoid it by taking all of the mundane quests and joined the Fifth Cohort/made friends with the “least popular” people (such a Troy Bolton reaction but ok rick lol; not to mention he apparently made this assessment at the age of 3) and was raised by wolves at the age of two. He also tried to weigh both sides of an argument to be an effective leader as well
Thus, Hades!Jason didn’t want to be the leader. Since he’s the only Greek big three kid, everyone already treats him like the chosen one for the prophecy and he latched onto Bianca because if she’s the hero he doesn’t have to be. And of course, monsters are probably one of his core changes; they were kind to him at the age of 2 and brought him to CHB, and he’s always in an exasperated battle of good monsters and bad monsters (this is supposed to reflect his need to see both sides)
My favorite change from canon Jason and hades!Jason is where his leadership got him. I think in a way both are willing to do what’s needed for a quest and are very pragmatic (to the point canon Jason voted against Nico in MOA and then realized how shitty that sounded and apologized), but he also has a lot of faith in his comrades (in HOH, hazel is very surprised at how sure he is that she’ll master the mist, Jason is already trying to befriend Nico before they find Favonius, and when Frank is antsy in the house of hades, Jason makes a point to stop everything and ask if frank is okay.) I think Hades!Jason also has that instinct, which is why he vibe checks Leo, Nico, Percy, and Hazel. I really didn’t want him to feel like a carbon copy of Nico’s situation while also trying to maintain the integrity of being a child of hades, ergo he’s willing to push himself into the River Styx and get the curse to help win a war but since the curse enhances demigod abilities, it ended up with him going a bit too far; so he’s making himself very accountable for this and still feels like this “selfish” of himself choosing not to fight.
And then the biggest change is the fact Jason doesn’t have someone in canon like Luke, and this was just a side effect of trying to create a set up for the Cupid scene—and boy howdy, am I happy with the results! I think it actually works to show how willing Jason is to put his feelings aside though, since he does a similar thing in TBM about piper breaking up with him for the sake of the quest!
This hasn’t been pressed upon too much yet, but hades!Jason also feels more compelled to uphold the rules of life and death more than nico (aka why he never tried to bring Bianca back to life and other than a gentle nudging about Luke, didn’t ask for him to come back to life either), so he goes into a high moral struggle over there.
The funny part is, Hades never held a grudge because of Zeus killing his lover, so dd!hades is a lot more chill and just wants to love on a boy

Steven Universe!Seussian Au: Ideas
So I had an idea for a Steven Universe!Suessian Au, so here are some character descriptions for the main characters.
May include heavy topics such as depression and self image!
takes place 1 year after ‘future’ and after the events of ‘Seussical’ (not exactly tho)
Steven:
Crash landed on the mysterious planet after a ship wreck, which will most likely be explained later.
he helps the seussian creatures deal with their problems
uncovers a secret abandoned diamond base that belonged to pink diamond, which will be explained later.
unable to express his own feelings but is good at getting others to express theirs
gets help from other seussian creatures to overcome his fears of his mother.
Lives temporarily with the cat + the other residents of the cats treehouse
Mayzie tried to mother him but fails miserably
is depressed but no one knows till later on.
has nightmares about pink diamond a lot, which will be explained later.
misses Connie and the crystal gems dearly, and is determined to find a way to contact them so they can come get him.
singing is his way to cope, and cat realizes that. he sings to the little cats and the things daily.
also is considered a ‘thinker’
Cat:
tries to be a father figure to Steven.
saved Steven from the crash, and is still traumatized from the crash and has nightmares a lot.
he tries to be a good role model and good friend to Steven, but he never feels good enough, which makes him depressed.
he represses his feelings to make himself look happy, until one day when he just falls apart.
father of the 3 little cats and considered the adoptive father of thing 2 and thing 1.
rhymes a lot when happy.
Steven reminds him of his dead lover, which is why he feels obligated to take care of him.
Steven helps him turn his mother’s lyrics into songs, which makes the situation a lot worse.
Has a flaming crush on Spinel.
Spinel + Rose Quartz (Rosie):
Crash landed on the planet and are reunited with Steven when they show up near hortons nest.
Rosie is the childish Rose Quartz from ‘Rose Buds’
Rosie begins to develop a crush on Mayzie and Spinel begins to like the Cat.
They end up living in a cave near the cats treehouse
They stay close to Steven until the 3 are finally rescued.
Spinel is very flirtatious, mean while Rosie is very childish.
Spinel gets angry very easily, so Steven and Rosie need to calm her down ever so often.
Thing 2 + Thing 1:
considered the cats ‘adopted sons’.
they are twins and both male.
they are taught to express themselves by Steven, we learn that thing 2 is very optimistic and very energetic, while thing 1 is very shy and comedic when he wants to be.
serve as the cats sidekicks and help cat whenever it’s needed.
both become very loyal to Steven, and thing 1 becomes very close to Steven.
Thing 1 always wants to talk to Steven, and Steven serves as a role model, such as Fred Rogers.
3 Little Cats:
Named A, B and C.
A and B are girls, while C is a boy.
They are the kids of the cat and they are farely young and farely innocent.
Little Cat A begins to develop a crush on Morton.
B and C become very close to Steven and view him as a big brother.
A keeps herself distant from Steven, because he reminds her of their dead mother. (Her death will be explained later on)
A begins to accept Steven.
Morton:
Half Elephant, Half bird.
cries ALOT.
Begins to relate to steven on a personal level since they are both hybrids of two totally different species.
Begins to develop a crush on Little Cat A, who he calls Piper, and our precious boy Steven.
He is facinated with Stevens powers, and wants to study and learn more about gem kind.
He likes to sing with Steven and Gertrude.
Horton is his Father and Mayzie is his bio-mother, but she was an unfit mother so Gertrude took her place.
Horton:
Protector of the the planet of ‘who’.
Considers a ‘thinker non-stopper’.
Steven is brought to his attention when he is caught crying near his nest, after sneaking out of the treehouse during the night.
Steven goes to him for advice, Horton tries his best but he feels that he is failing Steven.
He is married to Gertrude and is the father of Morton.
Gets along with Mayzie, even after what happened with the egg.
Close to the cat, they are considered non biological brothers.
very angsty.
Gertrude:
Hates Mayzie.
insecure about her one feathered tail, but is helped by Steven.
She mothers Morton even though Mayzie is his Biological mother.
Wants to be a musician, but is mocked by the bird girls and Mayzie.
pissed off at Mayzie for abandoning her child to go on vacation.
Gets in a fist fight with Mayzie and causes Morton to interve.
Mayzie:
Tries to be a good mother figure for Steven.
Wants to prove to Horton that she can be a good mother if she tries.
She tries hard but it is never enough. she just can’t get the parenting thing right.
Makes fun of Gertrude to make herself feel better.
she begins to isolate herself as she becomes suicidal.
Cat, Rosie and Steven begin to become worried about her.
—————————
Should I turn this into a comic/fanfiction?
Also if you have any ideas for the AU, message me!
I’m just gonna make a tag for the Au right now, so I’ll say that #Su Seussian Au can be the tag? lmao.
I need a nap. I’ll post more art and stuff tomorrow, sorry for the inactivity!
(The Crystal Gems, JoJo, lion, The Grinch, The Lorax, Lars, Sadie, Connie, The Diamonds, The Oncelor, Sam-I-am, Pam-I-am, and Guy-am-I will also be included.)
