Middle-aged white man in a grey button-down with black glasses speaking in front of a classroom of older teenagers: Hey, guys, listen up, I just wanna take a second to address because I know there have been some complaints with the pronoun issues and I just want you guys to know that I’m working on it. I respect all of you and your lifestyle choices, and in fact, last weekend I even went to the district’s mandated Gender-Bread Man Training.

(Flips slideshow to a picture of the gender-bread person)

Male-presenting student, loudly with their hands cupped around their mouth: It’s a Gender-Bread Person.

Man, shouting: WHATEVER! WHATEVER! I went to the training, okay?! All I’m asking in return from you guys is for you to stop calling me a boomer! I’M NOT A BABY BOOMER, YOU GUYS! I’m NOT A BOOMER!

We all know that Pearl was pretty much… oh pearl… put through a lot because of Rose’s/Pink Diamond’s selfishness. (I still don’t think Rose is a bad guy.)

But my concept is… pearl has a phone now. She can call Sabina. I want to see a relationship flourish with them but Sabina is the OPPOSITE of Rose. She’s selfless, everything she does is in consideration of Pearl’s feelings, she’s gentle with her, she asks questions before acting, she listens to the things that Pearl likes and just.. does them for her out of her love for her. I want Pearl to get the pampering she deserves. She deserves to be treated right.

Reblog if you agree Sabina should help Pearl with her trauma. Because I sure as hell do.

BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT THE PORTRAIT

So Ive been in charge of designing the background and her dress for the portrait. It took me a while to finish because i was working, on and off with it.

THE DRESS

So the whole concept for cressie’s dress was supposed to be a mash of korean and mexican elements but displayed in a subtle way. We did it that way so we could portray more of cressie’s personality and taste. Since cressie’s very conservative, we didn’t want to expose her skin that much through the clothing. the crop top thing was a reminder of her green crop top hoodie and at the same time a traditional korean top. 

the color palette before started with the teal palette but we changed it eventually to a blue and red-ish pink to complement her cheek color, ukulele and her favorite color. it is also a reminder of her usual navy blue dress.

Now lastly for the patterns, the patterns. the leaf pattern was from the blue dress while the tulips are for favorite flower.

THE BACKGROUND

we did the background twice because it turned out too simple, not the right color pallet and lack the elements we wanted to portray. thankfully the second one pulled it off. @gravityfying just added more in the final look to fill up the spaces. 

Gavin: Yes.

RK900: So you wouldn’t pour it on your body.

Gavin: Correct.

RK900: So you shouldn’t pour it in your thro-

Gavin: What? Why?

RK900:

Gavin: I mean, of course you do! Who wouldn’t want a piece of this? I’m awesome!

Stranger: 5’9’’, overdramatic, cries when you call him a bitch baby?

RK900: What’s with the coat, Detective?

Gavin’s coat: *meows*

RK900: … Is your hand stuck in that vending machine?

Gavin: I’m uncooperative.

RK900: Is that so? Give me an example.
