#Insert joke about sapphire and ruby fusing to make garnet

[silver-la-pixels]

so I have this design I've been messing with and it's a fusion of May and Brendan from pokemon. I've doodled a bit of their rs/e and oras design, but decided to do a full edit of the official emerald art.

I present to you the enby player option for emerald, Brey!

Brey has split-tone hair that's ashy brown in the front and white in the back (alluding to the many arts depicted of Rse brendan wearing a headband with white hair). With May's bandana bow in the back of the headband.

They have double shorts and a shirt with Brendan's design on front, with a tank top cut and color picked from may. This is also a very rough cut and isn't complete yet, but I felt like sharing

I also have a gen 4 combo of Lucas and dawn and a gen 5 of hilda and hilbert named Lawn and Hil respectively.

Beach City Witch Project

warning: criticism inbound

note: I am not discouraging fanworks by any means and neither am I saying that I could do any better, I'm simply giving my opinions

I personally found beach city with project to be disappointing on many levels.

The episode relies on the premise of Connie doing a school project about witches, which leads to garnet participating in fortune telling. However, schools are only allowed to mentioned witches in a historical sense, specifically how witchcraft was an excuse used to persecute women and non-christians as well as other minority groups. Even if people truly took part in actions they believed to be witchcraft, we were never supposed to study anything considered supernatural, as that would be deemed unscientific and therefore not educational. Some would even consider it pushing belief of something akin to religion.

Also, even then, in the historical idea of witches, if you were to study them, you would most likely not hear about fortune telling, but rather about potions and spells. People back then would fear so called witches, and would often only ask for the help of one in dire circumstances.

Then, I disagree with how the writers portrayed stevonnie as a whole, and much about connie. Connie is portrayed in the show as being very smart. Of course she makes mistakes, but I doubt that in the show she would truly believe that she is meant to be at a standard equal to stevonnie, seeing as stevonnie is actually old enough to drive a car, can world a sword and shield rather than just one of the two, and is also made up of two people, one being a half gem that gives stevonnie at least partial floating abilities. I also don't think connie would ever think garnet isn't supportive of her seeing how garnet seems to treat her very well, especially in mindful education with the sign that says go steven and connie, and on the other side stevonnie, which she doesn't use until stevonnie is physically present.

Even though stevonnie is their own person, mindful education thourougly shows that both stevonnie and garnet are still the sum of their parts. Stevonnie can not exist without Connie, garnet cannot exist without ruby or without sapphire. Any single time garnet praises stevonnie, she is fundamentally praising Connie and Steven. A fusion while still fused can also speak through the different components, which we see with sardonyx in know your fusion, garnet after meeting the gem experiments and in keystone motel, malachite in jailbreak, and alexandrite in fusion cuisine.

Another thing that bothers me is garnets use of future vision. It's been seen through her character that she is careful with who she gives this information to, and how much of it she believes in the first place, as we've seen how easily future vision can be wrong or changed. Even when it is used, it seems to only be in important situations. If she DID choose to use it on the beach city residents, it only makes sense she would feel the need to mention that they aren't 100% true, and while she does do this at the end of the episode I highly doubt she wouldn't do this upfront, even though I doubt she would do this at all in the first place.

The animation and voice acting were often pretty bad. The worst part is, I love fem-usa's work and constantly watch mkatwood and princely. They all produce great content, but BCWP felt very sloppy and rushed. There were a lot of weird pauses, lined that sounded forced or rushed, and animation that was just terrible. During the beginning of the episode, part of the couch garnet is sitting on appears to have been directly created in mspaint on such a small scale that you could see individual pixels, which could've been easily remedied by simply using a different program, or making the drawing in mspaint bigger so that the pixels were smaller and less noticeable. I dislike how three or four of the characters were voiced by the same person, who didn't seem to do particularly different voices for the characters. In the case of MLP for example, they can get away with using the same voice actors because of how different they can make their voice sound. The audio it's self seemed like it was recorded on sub par equipment, it honestly kinda sounded like when I've had Skype calls before. I feel that even if some of the lines had been recorded a few more times, they could've been more lively, and have better timing, instead of pausing in weird sections that make it obvious someone is reading a script rather than a character talking normally.

A lot of the minor details got me too, like why did they decide to wear costumes? Wouldn't it make sense for them to dress as witches as that's what the lesson is on? Why does pearl looking nothing like a vampire? Why does garnet mention sadie having a band when that doesn't occur until way later in the show, and is something that would be directly influenced by what happens with Lars, which hasn't happened yet? Some of the things garnet says to the BC residents seems to be references or jokes that aren't complete. Why is Mr smiley selling his bed? Is this a reference I'm missing? Is it an inside joke? I feel the same about some of the other comments.

Even when garnet has been blunt in the past, I highly doubt she'd tell sour cream that he can fall back on fishing when she KNOWS that he wants to be a DJ and that he seems to hate fishing, or at least the idea of being a fisherman. Garnet would never say anything so cruel.

Don't even get me started on the incorrect usage of trigger warning. The word "warning" works fine, using the word trigger warning is only specifically used in situations where you know a triggering topic will be used in front of someone who may need a warning.

"Real life doesn't have (trigger) warnings"

1) Movie, TV ratings, and game ratings all go into specific details about why they receive a rating, including violence, cursing, use of tobacco, things of sexual nature and more.

2) TV shows mentioning the stories of people who were raped or murdered often are proceeded with "the following program has disturbing content, including *insert subject* so viewer discretion is advised", and the news will often say "were about to talk about/show something disturbing that can be hard to watch, change the channel or turn off the TV if you can't handle this topic".

3) Other forms of media have different ways of adding warnings of any type.

4) When someone is going to tell you bad news, they often have you sit down and try to keep you calm when they tell you it. A doctor who comes out to tell you someone you know didn't make it doesn't just go "they're dead. next." because not giving someone a warning is a dick move? there's nothing wrong with needing a warning. Being a dick doesn't "prepare you for the real world".

The real world DOES come with warnings.

I think if the animation had as much care and time put into it as examples such as "gemanimate" and "the smothering" along with other fan works it would've had a much better result.

TL;DR the beach city witch project had a lot of issues. It was by no means terrible, I'm sure it took a good amount of work and time, and these are fans doing it for free in spare time. However I think it could've been much better.

Steven Universe characters described by Encyclopedia Dramatica

Note: Don’t take these seriously please. This is meant to be a joke, so don’t start screaming/sending death threats at me because I didn’t write any of these. Please have an open mind. This contains offensive content 

Steven Universe(DeMayo)- The main character. As the bastard son of Rose Quartz, he has inherited all of her powers; such as healing literally anything ever, creating life, possessing people, and others. If you pose a threat to the planet's existence, Steven will still see you as capable of changing; but if you hit on him, you're worse than Hitler. Has PTSD.

Greg Universe(DeMayo)- Steven's dad. He's an ex-solo-musician with cat hair and the poster child for how to fail at life but still get the best girl. Seriously though he met Rose because she's the only person who liked his music. Now Greg runs a Car Wash and lives in a van, so Steven lives with the gems.

Connie- Steven's obligatory love interest. Connie's mom is a doctor and her dad is a cop who works for multiple beaches in multiple cities so she isn't in the same place for long, meaning she can't make friends. Because she has no friends she spend most of her time reading books and looking at boats. This probably means she knows about Onion's status as Satan. [Insert Un-funny Lolicon joke here.]

Rose Quartz- Steven's mom who had to become an hero to give birth to him. Apparently, she can find beauty in anything(even this show's fandom), has magical healing tears, the power to create minions from plant matter, and she used to plant magic moss bent on devouring everything because she doesn't give a fuck. She's a girl imbued with white attire, pink hair extensions and magical powers linked to a gem who had tried to 'heal' the spirits of the corrupted gems and forsaken her physical form because reasons. The definition of a Mary Sue. She's later discovered to be a fucking murderer.

Pearl- She is a smart-ass who thinks she's superior inferior to anything surrounding her. Has an unquenchable thirst for Rose Quartz. She watches Steven in his sleep. Since she can't sex it up with Rose anymore, she'll settle for the next best thing: Garnet. Her weapon is a Spiral-tipped spear.

Amethyst- A Gem that was grown on Earth by evil gems. FAs on Tumblr can NEVER get enough of her because, like a disturbingly high number of characters in this show, she's FA-worthy. Constantly stuffing her fat face (even though apparently Gems don't need food, or drink, or sleep, or air). Used her shapeshifting power to turn into her fursona, "The Purple Puma" and wreck people behind Pearl and Garnet's backs. You learn later in the series that she is Jasper's bitch and has shown to be worthless as hell. Her weapon is a spiked whip.

Garnet- The Leader of the Crystal Gems since Rose died. She is secretly a fusion of two lesbians (lesbians exist in kids' shows now). Her powers include seeing into the future, swimming in lava, and a diva voice. The Gem Homeworld is full of Dixie Confederate Republican gems that didn't like Garnet being Garnet, so she joined Rose Quartz's army to fight for Earth so she could be free to be a black hole of faggotry. The french dub of the show censored Garnet's gayness spawning a sewer flood of hate. Her weapon is a pair of gauntlets.

Ruby & Sapphire- Dwarf lesbians that make up Garnet. A hot-headed red one with fire powers and a cool-headed blue one with ice powers. Completely Original. Can't last five seconds apart from each other. They are the real reason why people started to watch the show and Rebecca likes to milk them whenever she can.

Lapis Lazuli- A waterbender. The Crystal Gems trapped her in a mirror for 5750 years until Steven broke her free. She flew to her homeworld in space to find that if you give a civilization 5750 years they tend to advance. She fused with Jasper so she could use her water-powers to trap herself and Jasper at the bottom of the ocean forever. Fans want to fuck her because tumblr fags think they relate to her 'abused' past. Thus, making her the most overrated and second to boot meme'd SU character and all that cringy shit.

Peridot- A racist who uses prosthetics and jerks off to The Diamond Authority. She used to be a baddie but now she's a goodie because of Steven's selective character redemption powers. As an "Era-2" peridot, she's a shitty millennial whose only power as a gem to be magneto.

Jasper- A roid-rager who Peridot dragged her with to Earth, is Lapis' abusive girlfriend and thinks Steven is Rose Quartz. She fused with Lapis after being jelly that Garnet is infinitely better than her in every way (even though she thinks fusion is for pussies) but Lapis dragged their fused body into the ocean. After separating from Lapis, Jasper became obsessed with fusing with her again, but was thrown back into the ocean. She later created an army of corrupted gems, but fuse-raped one of them and got AIDS.

Bismuth- The blacksmith that made all the Crystal Gems' weapons. She treated the war like an actual war and got bubbled for it. Upon her chimp out in her debut, the fans started demonizing Fructose for having a "black-coded" character be loud and aggressive, and also for stating that murder is wrong. Steven refused to shatter other gems, and this made Bismuth turn apeshit against Steven, attempting to shatter him. Dead

White Diamond- Best girl.

Yellow Diamond- Gem-Hitler. She wants to destroy the earth because killed her baby sister. She is such a boss that even the crewniverse fangirls over her VA.

Blue Diamond- A Sith Lord who refuses to accept the fact the Pink is dead, also a massive emo.

Pink Diamond- Worst Diamond. Only had one planet to her name before Rose Quartz fucking killed her.

Fusions

Opal- Whenever Pearl and Amethyst aren't arguing for no reason, they can perform fusion to "form Opal": a four-armed giant woman; the gems claim that they only fuse when they have no choice but hardly ever do it when they need to and when they do it it's hardly ever when they need to. Fun Fact: Originally they were going to pose her arms to form a swastika as a Hindu reference but were forced to scrap it because culturally ignorant Jews and Social Justice Warriors would have been offended and that can't ever happen. Her weapon is a bow.

Sugilite- Whenever a mission can only be completed with brute force and lots of it, Garnet and Amethyst will fuse to form Sugilite. In exchange for that power the three succumb to roid rage. Is voiced by Nicki Minaj. Obviously the SJ-Wankers were appalled by how obviously racist her character is, which surprised us all since SJWs typically jerk off to and worship the Steven Universe characters. Sugilite's weapon is a flail.

Sardonyx- A fusion of Garnet and Pearl. A gap-toothed cricket who apparently works at a casino. Pearl lies to Garnet so they keep having to fuse into her, because she enjoys how it feels, causing Garnet to get butthurt and ignore her for several episodes until Pearl basically admits to being a worthless cunt who can't do shit on her own. Her weapon is a giant hammer.

Malachite- The Lapis-Jasper fusion that dragged it's horrid form to the bottom of the sea to save the C-Gems, getting kinky with each other with whatever shit they find down there to pass the time. It ultimately got it's shit wrecked by Alexandrite.

Stevonnie- The accidental shota/loli fusion of Steven and Connie who frequently suffers from hallucinations brought on by Steven's own mental instability, initially thought to be Connie's fighting 'skills' being overwhelmed by her edgy 14 year old mind, being the downward spiral moment of the series if it had any upping points.

Smoky Quartz- A fusion of Steven and Amethyst. A ripoff of sardonyx. This fruit is such a shit waifu that 4chan straight up gave up on fapping to every gem in this show. Immediately, Tumblrites started drawing the most disgustingly obese incarnations of him that could exist, doubling the demand in Clorox bleach. His weapon's a yo-yo. No jokes, he flings a giant yo-yo at his enemies to attack.
