Why I Stopped Posting

Hey everyone, it's been a while! I basically wanted to make this post to give some closure to the failure that was the Green Diamond AU.

First of all, I haven't checked this blog in about a year so I'm more than certain that almost everyone forgot about it, which is GOOD because that puts less pressure on me to profusely apologize for my incredible lateness, but BAD because I feel bad :p

But yeah, I'm sorry. When GD AU first took off it was gaining a decent amount of traction and I made friends with other fellow creators who were pumping out great works!

But I felt lost writing GD AU. It was going down a direction that I didn't care about. I was invested in the characters but my issues were with the plot. It felt like a story that wasn't worth telling, it was boring to me.

And some asks I got were discouraging because everyone expected Steven Universe but green. Where is Garnet and Amethyst? Where is Spinel? Where is Steven? Will the rebellion resume? Will Green Diamond rebel?

Characters and story arcs and tropes I didn't care about were expected. I tried adding Jasper but realized she wouldn't fit in the plot. I added Pink Pearl 3.0 and realized I didn't know where she'd go in the plot. I added Shauna (female green Steven) and realized she wouldn't even exist in the plot because I wanted to focus on Green and Pink.

Well, I could know, I could fit her in perfectly if I thought enough, if I was invested enough to sit down and ask myself "What are these characters doing? What's the point?"

And that was my problem. I wasn't invested. I didn't want to tell a story that was just Steven Universe but green. I wanted to tell a story about Green and Pink Diamond.

I also got a lot of attention for this comic, more than I expected! And eventually, more than I wanted. I feel like I wasted this opportunity to tell a story to a wide enough audience, I wasted my (albeit small) platform to just answer asks half-heartedly and be salty and lazy and stressed out about everything.

This is the story I wanted to tell.

Green Diamond was a Diamond made by White to replace Pink. This is a problem because everyone loves Pink and Yellow could have just taken the colony for herself like she did in canon. Besides, Pink was irreplaceable.

Green Diamond tries to prove herself by being the BEST DIAMOND EVER. She almost gets there until the Rose-Pink reveal. Then it's all about Pink again.

Green and Pink bond, become friends, Green never becomes a rebel but she supports Pink's love of the planet because she sees the beauty in it as well, so she wants to replace Pink's position as a Diamond so Pink can be Rose again. Everyone on Homeworld knows Rose is a Diamond but Rose doesn't care, she lives her authentic self as a rebel Quartz because that's who she is. She's got Pearl, Garnet, Bismuth and surprisingly Jasper on her side!

White Diamond comes along, discovers Green and Pink's plot and just cackles. They're so silly! Playing war. She turns to Green Diamond and says,

"You still believe you're a Diamond?"

It turns out Green Diamond was never Green Diamond. She was a cheap cubic zirconia made for the express purpose to emotionally torture Pink, because White was under the impression Pink would come crawling back out of jealousy if she saw someone else taking control over her colony.

(Yes, in this AU White knew Rose was Pink. It's very vague in canon but it's a headcanon I have.)

Green Cubic Zirconia and Pink Diamond fuse, creating True Diamond (not a real diamond, I know, but the name is symbolic ;_;)

Green wanted to be a Diamond so badly, throughout the story it's revealed bit by bit how much of a natural, compassionate yet composed leader she is, as she gains her gems' trust. Pink wants to be a Quartz so badly, rebellious, free, and bringing her fantasy into the real world. But they both have something in common.

They want to be what they never were.

White Diamond tries to use this against each other, but Green and Pink's love for each other triumphs White's manipulation.

True Diamond doesn't refer to Green Cubic Zirconia as Green Cubic Zirconia, nor does she refer to Pink Diamond as Pink Diamond.

They are Green Diamond and Rose Quartz, respectively.

This leads to White's realization she's wrong. They are technically still a zirconia and a diamond, but her perception on their personalities was wrong. Green Diamond wasn't her evil little lapdog who wants to torture Rose for funsies, and Rose Quartz isn't a selfish bratty child who wants a colony - she is a compassionate warrior who wants respect and love.

And that's how the story ends.

Except it didn't. Because I didn't draw it!!!!!

In 2019 I was inexperienced, in 2020 I was depressed and in 2021, I just don't want to get people's hopes up for a story that will never come.

I'd love to tell it to you, I hate spoiling it all for you guys, but I know for sure I don't have a connection to Green Diamond anymore, her story isn't important to me because I am telling ones I care more about.

But maybe it will be important to you.

And that's why I wrote this post.

Signing off, Refiba 💚💎❤️

(If you want to know what else I'm writing or just follow me on my other more active social medias just because my Tumblr is @strawberriandromeda , my Twitter is @refiba, my Instagram is @refibaxolotl and I may or may not be releasing a non-Steven Universe story sometime this year on webtoon. Keep your eyes peeled for that if you want to. If you don't that's totally cool too. Much love!)

My designs for the zodiac! In my story, they're a generation of gods that emerged from the environment to protect the goddess Gaia and her creations, sent by Ouranos. They have lots of adventures and each one has at least a story. I was kind of inspired by Lore Olympus in this.
