What does Cluster amethyst full body looks like? Or she just looks like a pile of hands?
in that one picture? just a pile of hands (and one foot) with a face. she’s always shifting, though. sometimes there are horns.
in the end, it doesn’t really matter what she looks like. she’s the monster of this story, and will always be a reminder of everyone’s fears/anxieties/failures/regrets. and that sucks.

Do you know the best part of coming back from the hiatus and the series was finished? You now have a solid foundation to develop the AU without having to redo parts because the series gave a plot twist.
i know, right! you wouldn’t believe the narrative gymnastics i had to do to keep this monster lore/canon compliant. at one point i had three or four different plot things with four or five possible outcomes/explanations each, just in case canon contradicted one of them. and i had to make sure i didn’t contradict them either! it was a nightmare to keep track of. heckin’ Schrödinger’s plot. every possible thread needed the chance to be true until it wasn’t.
…except for one minor, teeny tiny, enormous detail. i used to get SO ANXIOUS every time the show revisited some seemingly random thing. like, please, please don’t revisit what i thought was a throwaway episode, PLEASE, it’s literally the linchpin of this entire reality’s existence lmao.
and Rose. Rose! i was one of the non-believers when it came to the Pink Diamond theory. I just. what. i must have been sending myself psychic warnings from the future or something cause otherwise i have no idea why i would have stayed away from any Rose-related stuff for so long. yeesh.
i think. i’m having a moment right now. like, in retrospect, the fact that i didn’t actually have to change anything is so wild. it’s like i managed to run through a hallway of swinging axes and somehow made it to the other side entirely unscathed. except the axes were plot twists and i’m sitting here laughing hysterically at the whole experience, so maybe not entirely unscathed. hah.

Did Peridot help create the Prime or Beta Kindergarten in this AU? If she did, how does Jasper, Lapis, Steven, Rose, and Amethyst feel about it?
nah, Peridot’s still era 2, so she wasn’t around for all that. When she got stranded on earth, Jasper was not yet a part of the team, but Rose and Lapis were pretty adamant about how sucking the life out of the earth was, like, not a great move and they definitely shouldn’t do that anymore.
they were so adamant, in fact, that Peridot thought they might try to shatter her or something if she told them about the gem experiments she’d been sent to check up on, so she never told them. for five thousand years. it would just be awkward if she said anything now! (don’t worry, Secret Team’s handling it.)
Jasper’s feelings are a bit more complicated. Rose is able to sway her pretty easily, mostly because she already has that self loathing thing going on. her Kindergarten was an embarrassment and the quality of the Prime Kindergarten is just a reminder of that, so she’s very stand-offish about the whole thing.
Rose, Lapis, and Jasper all know that Peridot has some connection to the Kindergartens and that she visits them often for some reason. they don’t like it, but also don’t try to stop her (once she finally gains their trust and officially joins the Crystal Gems, that is.)
Steven is conflicted. Peridot gets so enthusiastic when talking about the Kindergartens but it just makes everyone else uncomfortable. poor kid just wants everyone to be happy!
Amethyst is just happy she and Peri get to hang out.

How does un-clustered Amethyst would look like in this au? (even speculate that's is possible in this au)
she looks like a safe spot to hide behind.
icyassassin28 asked:
Do you have a main account?
uuuuuhhh… not really? not one i use anymore, anyway. @drawingandcrying will probably be the best place to find me, once i finally have time to draw again, whenever that is.
joyflameball asked:
Are you on hiatus?
“yes,“ i say, immediately after updating.
for real, though, yeah. this might be it. the forever hiatus… maybe? the urge to update this thing always catches me by surprise, but it’s probably best to treat this as an indefinite hiatus.
that flower’s been on one heck of a journey.
for those keeping track: it ended up with Greg who got it from Rose who got it from Lapis who got it from Jasper who got it from Rose (probably while she wasn’t looking, of course).

What's Lapis and Rose's fusion name?? And how does Jasper feel about her? :^O
Jasper may or may not be a teensy bit jealous of her. not that she’d ever admit it.
Anonymous asked:
Wait, is Lapis in love w/ Rose like Pearl?
nah, Lapis was just using her to mess with Jasper. it’s petty revenge for a fairly minor slight, but they tend to bring out the worst in each other, even when they’re playing nice.
