ok so. life update: 

my laptop died and i just now replaced it. i lost everything and i’m still trying to find ways to recover what i can. 

my car broke so many times but only when i was unemployed. 

a lot of ideas i had for this changed and grew. i’m outlining all 5 (6?) parts into a cohesive narrative. its giving me so much serotonin. 

the series name is being changed to Symphony of Fallen Stars

im 3 months away from 5 years on HRT

moved away from a toxic partner into another toxic living situation. 2020 really bit me in the ass but i’m moving again (into my own place!) by new years or next spring. still on the fence if i want to get my general bachelors with 1 credit missing. 

i have new pets. isopods and brine shrimp. i love them so much. 

i might have a new monstersona. i still need to draw them. 

teaching myself how to do thumbnails for larger art pieces. 

i haven’t drawn since my laptop died. we’ll see what happens LMAO

More doodles from my au. 

First is the face of Lapis in this rewrite, lapis lazulis of the Blue Court are considered regal and I wanted her design to reflect that better. The second image is when Lapis meets her previous escort, and a closeup of Jasper 2MC. Jasper escorts are an uncommon thing, but not unheard of. 

Neither of you have seen your first lazuli concert? That explains a lot. I’m out of practice, but I can put on a short show for you. Every well adjusted gem has witnessed the creation story, it helps us define who we are. 

I never share my artwork that goes along with my au and I really should rectify that. Lapis still has loyalty to her Court and takes a while to truly question it. In this rewrite lapis lazulis are storytellers that utilize water for visuals and advanced hydrokinesis techniques can mimic other voices. Though they are rare, every gem in each court has seen one perform the creation story. It’s framed with a lot of propaganda, but what is a dystopian colony without it! 

Below the cut if you’re curious!
