A weird little aromantic shapeshifting dice goblin
who loves uty + utdr, princess bride, slay the princess, phineas and ferb, and widdershins. I show my love of franchised and characters i have so many pnf aus mainly about Stacy that i simply haven't talked about i can barely keep up with them and that's just one franchise I've got at least one au for all of my faves usually more
I was thinking of making some more fusions and hybrids but for now I'll let it stay this way.
Rose is shy and compasionate, the only one here that tried to be an actual diamond but was very unhappy. She found perfection on inperfections and sooner rather than later decided that she had enough of Homeworld, became Petalite, stole a ship and ran away with her pearls. Petalite has less compassion inside and is often seen as a strict leader.
Lava is a very late diamond, a Era 2 one. Her powers are giving energy to other gems, maybe too much energy at times, to the point of making them poof. She was found by Rose and they reunited with Moon. Because no one could know that they were a diamond, Lava shapeshifted to be a Bixbite. She's sassy and full of energy.
Also her Bixbite design is as an adopt I got from lun_art_collection on Instagram that I used for this after giving it a few touches
Moon was born from White's leftovers. She's weak and no diamond (other than Rose or Lava) know about her. But Black Emerald is known and searched by other gems for stealing ships and helping off-colors. She's respected yet feared.
Since only Rose was known to the other diamonds before she dissapeared, Lava and Moon have no pearls. Rose got two for being too depressed.
Pastel Spinel was an abandoned defective spinel Lava found and inmediately kept. She's everyone's bundle of joy.
And Daisy is just gay.
For now this is everything until I decide if to do hybrids or fusions haha

Surfing on the wiki I found a bunch more lf unknown gems from a SU game called Heap of Trouble. I did Petalite months ago but I was unsure about the other gem until I finally settled in.
There are a bunch of other SU media worth taking a look š
Fanart for @su-the-lunar-gems ! They did such a lovely job of drawing Flower Agate earlier this month, so I drew their pink fusion in return, Petalite! Thank you for inspiring me to do the fanartpalooza this year. Hope I did her justice! They have a cute ongoing SU AU featuring their original characters, similar to my own work. Go give it a read!

Scroll down to see the original attempt at this drawing I did back in August, a day or two before I started production on the comic!
Past few weeks have been a blur and I have neglected posting on Tumblr. Whoops! Iāll try to get back on that. In the same breath, Iāve been taking a well deserved break from drawing and posting.
I donāt really remember what I already have written regarding my sappy feelings about making this comicā¦ but Iāll try to cover new ground. I was at my absolute worst when I started the production of YGPIM- without getting too much into it, it was very much a āIāll do something to fill the time before my set date I plan to leave this worldā kinda project. I had been going through an intense health flare, I was in pain, and too weak to move or accomplish much. My garden was a failure as I couldnāt maintain it, and the realization the dreams I had would never be attainable absolutely broke me. I could never seem to finish my art, much less write anythingā¦ so why was I here. Iād never impact anyone because I believed I was incapable of creating anything.
But yet, here I am. I made a webcomic! I FINISHED A WEBCOMIC! I FINISHED IT IN EIGHT MONTHS? Iāve impacted countless people, my health has turned up! I run, I garden, I go out with my wonderful friends, I cook, I sew, I play with my dog, I live! Iām alive!! I never expected all this to happen, especially at my worst. But here I am! Here we are!
So thank you, all of you. For everything. Itāll be a bit before I touch comics again- my summers are busy. But I hope to return to them this fall.
Right of the bat, I'm going to address the by-far most asked question.
In relation to any form of a Lapis fusion related questions:
Nope! The answer is nope. To all of them.
Lapis has no desire to fuse.
Not one bit.
"But what about hypothetically?" No, I donāt know what those fusions would hypothetically look like, as I donāt think about it. I know I designed a Lapis x Lily fusion (Iolite), but I have since deeply regretted doing so due to the sheer amount of people asking for other hypothetical fusions.
I have been asked this over a hundred times over the course of YGPIM. Please stop asking me. Itās not happening, and would made for a far worse, gimmicky story. If youād like to read up on why I made this narrative decision, go here.
With that out of the way, onto the other asks!
Hm.... You see, the first two chapters of YGPIM are not conducive to the tapas/webtoons format. I do intend to make a PDF of the whole thing, and that may be better for that... But who knows! We'll see.
I hold your hands oh so gently when I say this:
Peridot was taking those creatures because their planets were dying.
They are all dead.
Her pets are all that remains of countless planets that were turned into gem colonies.
@tirucalli
Q: How does Lily (and/or Peri) feel about the whole Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond debacle?
A: They've got a lot of mixed feelings on the topic. Learning that Lily was made to be bubbled was a massive blow to both of them. Peridot was already mad that the rebellion lead to Lily being bubbled- but, she always chalked it up to chance. Something seemed fishy, sure, but she couldn't exactly investigate further. She appreciated that gems like her tried to be free by starting the rebellion, but she always thought it was a doomed to fail attempt, that ended with her love locked up.
But now? She's infinitely more angry. There was never a world where this didn't happen to Lily. It wasn't chance, it was by design.
...However.
In the same breath, She deeply adores organics. She understands why Pink/Rose did it. She's probably a little sentimental that Lily's true intended purpose was to save life, not end it. She's happy Lily exists at all.
But she's pissed.
As for Lily... she has similar feelings to Peridot, but her anger is directed on behalf of her sisters being innocent victims in this mess. On top of all that, (as mentioned in the comic) she had already rejected her perceived purpose, so it wasn't difficult to reject another, (being a sacrifice).
She's happy to exist.
She's happy the Earth is still around.
She's not happy she was put in the crossfire.
I'm so honored Chekhov reblogged way back then, so many wonderful folks started reading here on tumblr because of them! For those (somehow) unaware, go read @ask-whitepearl-and-steven if you haven't already! It's massive and my favorite SU comic. It's extraordinarily well done!
As for my pebblesona... hm. No, because my pebblesona made YGPIM. That's right. Those 3 rocks are in her brain. Fic in a fic >:3
Intense cuteness aggression. Wants to eat them all up.
@echo-the-cindwu
I don't quite get that used as a pawn and created as a sacrifice thing. Is it that theory that Roses were made to mimic the top of Pink's gem? Cus i don't think it makes much sense considering Pearl was the one to suggest that form to her
It is technically up to interpretation, but honestly, thereās a few things going for that the theory Rose Quartzes were made as an elaborate cover up.
1. Pearl says, āBecauseā¦ you changed your shape for the day! Now you look just like a Quartz.ā Notice: she does not say Rose Quartz specifically.
2. Then, when they arrive on Earth, Rose says āHello, fellow Amethyst guardsā¦ what are we all up to?ā Insinuating she was, at least, temporarily trying to pass as an Amethyst.
3. All the Rose Quartzes we see in the show were made on Earth by Pink Diamond. āThey were hers,ā Blue says. I think we would have seen them in the flashback to when the Amethysts emerged if they were out of the ground then. But they werenāt. Because they hadnāt yet been made by Pink.
Itās up to interpretation, but this is how I always took it
This has more focus on me/logistics of this account and the making of the comic!
You can't kill me yet. I went somewhat into the future of my work here. But, in short, anytime I draw the rocks or want to post steven universe related stuff, I will do so here. I will be more active on my main, @thefaeriemerchant . I have quite a few illustrations and mini comics planned, then after that... Bracelets.
Every comic has a different difficulty level/different needs. But, on average, I could complete 3 pages in 2 days, if I was really cranking them out. (pages, not parts.) It was hard work and my life was sorely unbalanced. All I did was draw for a long, long time. I do not reccommend.
You are not mistaken! Original work title forthcoming. The YGPIM gems are expies of those characters, Aela (Lily), Linh (Peridot), and Tayo (Lapis). I cannot get into it here... but eventually when I start posting art of it it'll be over on my main, @thefaeriemerchant
As for your other question, YGPIM follows the canon timeline. :]
@ashilihex
Highlighted the question so readers don't get lost in your lovely paragraph of compliments!
Honest to god, YGPIM's "pre-production" was like... 3 or 4 days long. Not ideal, but keep in mind, up until this point, I was a notoriously slow artist who never completed jack fuck. Your Green Palm in Mine was supposed to be a cute little tiny project with no standards to fill the void of my mental health... so yeah, I rushed it, in hopes that would prevent me from giving up. The plot is incredibly simple so it was overall, easy to write and draft. I wrote each chapter/chunk before drawing it, and made changes and revisions as needed. As the story grew, so did it's depth, and I tried to touch on those topics when I could. Some ideas, like Peri braiding Lily's hair, were very last minute.
I drew like... 2.5 pieces of concept art, a page of traditional sketches, and created 2 low res turnarounds for Peri and Lily.
I then wrote most of chapter one, wrote any future notes/ideas I could, had a list of random quotes I wanted to include in chapter 2, and immediately started drawing.
The title of "Your Green Palm in Mine," came to me after drawing and writing part 5, where Lily compliment's Peridot's hands. Before then, the working title was "Dotted Rose."

Peridot was by far the hardest to nail down. I always knew I wanted her in a dress or skirt, and glasses, but catching the perfect balance of formal, but relaxed, but serious and up tight, but also could be a gardener, was extremely difficult.
Behold! Peridot!
Peridot now sports a black turtleneck- with slightly different sleeves than shown here [look at me, always changing things last minute.] Sheās got a dual-toned v neck wrap shirt, with the biggest, puffiest impractical sleeves. Her skirt appears to be a pencil skirt- but it actually is a wrap skirt, and can open at the green streak. She wears heels, with green pumps. Sheās covered in gold accents, wearing a necklace, a lily pad hairpin, 2 rings on her middle fingers, and Agateās old belt.
Removable parts [not pictured]
A key aspect to Periās new reform is change. She can suit her outfit to her needs, and she does!
When gardening or doing other manual labor, she hikes up her skirt, and takes off her wrap top, tights, and heels. Sheās regularly seen in just her skirt and turtleneck, walking barefoot.
All 4, for scale. Periās heels make her taller, if sheās wearing them!
The first drawing I did of the three of them, back in August! As you can see, Peri having a dress and those glasses was quite literally ALWAYS in the works! Iām glad I didnāt stick to this design.
V2! I drew this in late September. This was the drawing that made me realize Peridot needed a reform for chapter 2, and was the first drawing with her new hairstyle!
V3. From October, with the other epilogue designs I shared! I still really like this one, but it was tooā¦ sciency? Too tight. Not comfortable enough for a lazy napper like peridot. First sighting of her middle finger ring! And necklace
V4(ish) there is actually like 4 more attempts on these drawings but they arenāt worth sharing. These were very rough drawings from.. December I think?
V5 Final rough. I had a vision and I knew exactly what I wanted when I drew it. Iām very happy with how she turned out, even if her new design is an absolute pain to color.
Epilogue Lapis! She now features p a n t s! And a vest. She has lilypad pockets, anklets, and a ring on both of her middle fingers. She also has gold eyeshadow, and her hair now has a third spike!
I changed her pants last minute to baggy cargo pants in the latest piece.. the puffy pants look better on the reference, but I think it was the right decision forā¦ reasons. I canāt get into yet.
hodge podged edit of the pants. I have since made the pants have cuffs on the bottoms!
I drew this back in August- itās a piece of the three of them, it was supposed to be their āhappily ever afterā outfits. I really struggled with this piece, as I hadnāt much experience of drawing multiple characters in the same frame. Too stiff. I gave up on it, and promptly started drawing peridotās reference for era 1, because I was worried Iād burnout by trying to finish it. That was the right decision. I will redraw the piece, eventually!
First concept I did back in October. Before I even started drawing ch 2! I like it, but it is too close to canon lapis.
Sketch for final!
Aaaand lastly, the first attempt at part 72. This was the original version- I got mostly through it, but I just. Hated it so so much. No amount of tweaking got it to a good enough state where I could start finalizing. I sunk at least 12 hours before giving up and redoing it.

Lily! Finally in something comfortable. She has a wrap shirt, puffy pants [now you know why I nixed Lapisā], sandals, and a longer braid! As for accessories, she keeps it sparse- just a flower in the hair and rings on her middle fingers.
I made this back in October and immediately hated it. Not only did it not suit her, I had drawn her wayyy off model. Sheās tooā magical girl-y here? Itās a cute outfit, but not her in the slighest. I kept the flower and gave the lilypad boots to Agate. I then immediately drew this, the same day:
Which I still adore. Very close to the final result!
I traced the old one the other day and drew this to mess around with it, get a better feel. Itās a messy drawing but helped me get a good sense of where I wanted to go with the reference sheet!
Here she is! Iām afraid due to the shading of the painting that revealed her design in the epilogue her green splotches werenāt very clear. As you can see, Flower Agate is prettier and greener than ever! :]
She wears 4 rings, each on her middle fingers, and sports a white, Grecian-like dress. Peridot always did love impractical stylistic features. What once were merely green freckles has revealed to be full blown vitiligo- with a lily pad twist.
