Yelena Diaz's personal Gundam, Absalom Tyr. Originally Gundam Ares, it was heavily damaged after Steven's raid on the Homeworld's Mars Station Hangar almost left her for dead. She vowed to surpass her limits in order to one day overthrow Winowa, subsequently outfitting her upgraded MS with two additional fusion reactors. She still bides her time in secret, waiting for a sign of weakness from the Homeworld Authority's Matriarch Supreme.
Starting the new year with a fave of mine. This jigsaw has absolutely killed me- so much pink!! And so much of Blue’s hair 🥲🥲 but it’s been worth it. Just the faves left 🥰
This is Yelena from my Yellow Diamond Au on AO3 by @dio-gatodae .
They did a fantastic job on the art and I love their style so much. I was going to do a comic with Yelena but my art isn’t that good, but there are occasional photos and pictures throughout the fic. Feel free to check it out!

I had a few days to sort my thoughts, so I have something to say. It's nothing bad, don't worry!
TLDR: I'm not going to publish the multi-chaptered darkfic with Blue Diamond this year but you're getting the one-shot with Yellow instead.
Let me explain, for the people who care! Ever since I got the idea for the Blue fic, I wanted to create illustrations to go with it, including a cover. It's why you see me posting so much gem OC art on this blog - art is a big part of that fic and its progress is intrinsically linked to the art (for me). While I could probably write out the fic this summer, I can't do the fic AND the art. My break isn't long enough for that. Next semester will be my very last as a dental student- it'll be really hard and I shit you not- my big licensure exam starts IMMEDIATELY after the last day of that semester. It lasts almost 4 months and it's the big thing, my bar exam, whatever you wanna call it. What I'm saying is: I can't do fic AND art, I know myself too well for that. So instead of posting the art a year later, I'd rather postpone the whole project for another year. It's just that important to me.
As the fic is part of a weird little universe/series, there is a Yellow Diamond spin-off that won't be longer than 15k. I'll focus on that one instead - so you're getting some Era 2 diamonds darkfic, just not the Blue version. I also have a long-ish MHA wip I still want to finish before the end of the year, plus the shorter wips I have on my wip list. I know very few people follow me for SU fic but you still deserve an update, especially when it's about one of my most treasured wips that I've been meaning to write for years.
