This was supposed to be an art blog...

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

The forgotten diamond💎

This is my SU Aligned Optimus~ She is the youngest among the Thirteen Diamonds.

The Covenant of Primus made me realize that Aligned Optimus is basically built like a reincarnated saintess🤣🤣

I also drew her Orion disguise form

basically a Benitoite trying very hard to pass as a Zircon, but if your fire is brighter than everyone else’s, nobody is buying it😭 so Benitoite it is

and for various reasons she forgot she was a Diamond

And after drawing her pre-war Thirteenth Diamond / Prime design, I started feeling like OP’s war-time look would be closer to Orion with a short hair cut. I also have two versions of her (with or without mask)😆

b.t.w. Aligned Megs is here. I imagine that she absolutely hates the caste system and diamond authority to her core. So just imagine when she found out her best friend is actually a diamond😆

<3 them
