[--There was shock, initially, but it dissipated rather quickly and replaced itself  with the curling of the Fusion's arms around the shrugged up shoulders of the  smaller Gem. Howl wasn't usually one for physical contact, or at least not as  she knew them. This kind of spontaneous embrace was very out of character  for them. The smallest twinge of worry panged in the deep inner workings of  Garnet's mind as she returned the unexpected gesture.]

♤ Has your muse developed to be different from their canon selves through roleplay?

I don’t think this has happened yet, but I’m open to it happening in the future. I’ve had quite a few blogs that have started out as Canon Characters that have slowly developed into their own AU. So far, Garnet is still as close to canon as I can play her.

♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?

Not really. If I had to pick something I didn’t like, it would honestly be that we haven’t really seen her struggle with anything aside from ‘Keep it Together’. I do hope this changes in the future because the characterization on Pearl and Amethyst, and even to an extent Greg, are really well-rounded. I feel like we’ve just barely touched the tip of the iceberg with Garnet’s character.

✎ What do you wish the author would reveal/had revealed about your muse?

With the book coming out in October, I feel like my grievances are kind of unfair to be honest ahaha. I want to know more about Ruby and Sapphire as separate beings. As much as I loveGarnet, Fusions take on a life of their own and aren’t very telling as to how the components work on their own. I have many different headcanons about it, but I need to know how they actually are!

❀ Share a headcanon you have not shared.

A headcanon I have not shared. Hmmm.

It would probably have to do with Future Vision. My headcanon is that Garnet, while taking on the responsibility for avoiding things like death and pain, also likes to play the Trajectories for her own purposes. She has a kind of complex where she thinks she knows what’s best for everyone and can manipulate those close to her by giving them vague warnings on what not to do; which ultimately just prevents them from taking a path Garnet finds less desirable than any of the others. I believe she did this in ‘We Need To Talk’ to prevent Rose from continuing on her normal path of ‘loving’ humans and moving on, either because she felt it was her duty to teach Rose how to Love or to prevent Pearl from self-destructing by removing Rose from the picture.

{Traversing the Dimensional Plain was interesting in itself, but  what Garnet happened to stumble upon was even moreso--   Garnet standing over the previously-living body of someone  she couldn’t quite identify, probably because she was in too  much a state of shock.}

            “ --Should... I ask?”

{Garnet spat out to Garnet, keeping herself on-guard. Who  knew what this Alternate Universe Garnet was like.

✂ -- Vivid Memory

--{Rose had been spending much of her time with Greg, 

                 --leaving the other Crystal Gems to pick up the slack. None of them minded. How could they? They had no right; not after   everything   she’d   done   for them.

It had been a routine day. There had been some Relic of the War that had started up on its own. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst had gone out to quell its ancient rage.                                                    Mundane,   routine,   normal. It’d gone without a hitch and, though they were returning with some mild scrapes, they were relatively unharmed. They were all getting stronger without Rose, something that was both a proud moment and a terrible one. 

Garnet was the first to return to the Temple. Amethyst and Pearl had stuck behind to do some clean-up; Garnet had to get the relic to the Temple Depths and destroy it before it could re-activate. 

R o s e  was there, waiting for them.}

                                        “Garnet! Welcome home.”

{Rose  was smiling, that soft smile of knowing she had mastered over the years. Garnet, weary, stepped from the warp towards her with relic in-hand. She’d been with Rose long enough to tell when something was amiss-- when there was something that needed to be said that she was reluctant to spill.

Rose could tell that the silence was weighted and heavy. She folded her hands in front of her gemstone, looking directly into Garnet’s eyes despite the shield of her shades. }

                                       “ I have w o n d e r f u l  news!

                                         Greg and I--”

{Garnet tensed.}

                                       “ We’re pregnant.”

{Rose continued on to explain how she’d wanted to tell everyone all at once, as well as some other things Garnet didn’t quite catch. The rest of the night had been a blur. The trajectories had told her everything that Rose hadn’t.

hersoleconfidante:

“G-Garnet!”

Of course. What was she thinking, doing this in Steven’s room? Whether the others had gone out for food following a mission or not, this was something she shouldn’t have risked being discovered.

She felt her cheeks heating up. This was so embarrassing. All because she didn’t take the extra precaution before making sure she wasn’t as damaged as she felt. Her eyes were on the verge of watering when she finally continued.

“W-what are you doing back so early?”

{Garnet wasn’t entirely sure what she was going to see when she returned to the Temple House, but it certainly hadn’t been this.

A slight curl of her fingers was all she could really do at first, a minuscule movement and a stare as the cogs and gears of her brain turned. How had she not realized Pearl was injured during battle? She was supposed to protect everyone. That   was   her   job.

The fusion managed to break herself from her trance, shutting her lips and bringing a stoic expression to her face once more.}

  “Pearl.     Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?”

{Garnet asked flatly, closing the distance between them. Her knee fell to the ground with a solid thunk, getting down to Pearl’s level. 

All she could do was rationalize-- If Pearl was still in-body, she couldn’t have been that damaged. It wasn’t life-threatening.

Or maybe her Gem was  d a m a g e d.

Garnet didn’t let that thought sit idly for long.}

                      {Civilian involvement in Gem battles were always                          a risk but rarely actually happened. 

The corrupted Gem was furious and scared, lashing out at the small Human City because it couldn’t think of anything else to do. Of course it couldn’t-- t h i n k i n g   was   beyond   its   comprehension in this form. The Crystal Gems were doing their best to stop it’s terror, to lead it out of the City before anyone got hurt, but it was dead-set on destruction and mayhem. 

Garnet had taken it on herself to evacuate as much of the city as she could. Most people were understanding, if not the slightest bit belligerent, but she had managed to clear almost all of them in a matter of about twenty minutes. She was finishing up, moving gird-locked vehicles out of the way and getting civilians on their way to minimize casualties. Time was moving much faster than she wanted it to and she could hear the distant cries of battle reverberating through the alleys and roadways.

On her way to the battle, Garnet noticed something--                                                                 More accurately, someone.

They were trapped under the half-crippled floors of some sort of building, pinned in an opening too cramped to climb out of. The ground itself was trembling, sending debris and dust tumbling down the collapsed rebar and concrete. The Gem Beast, somewhere not too far from where the fusion stood, let out something between a twisted dimensions’ idea of music and an intense roar of some primal animal. Garnet had to move.

Maintaining structural integrity on a half-decimated building while trying to get someone out was a lot harder than it sounded. Every torn-free piece of wall had to be predicted like a game of Jenga, carefully removed to stop the rest from crumbling. Eventually, the fusion put herself underneath the rubble, holding it up in the palms of her gauntlets and straining upwards to make a big enough opening for the trapped civilian to get out easily.}

   “Move. Quickly.

             You’re safe with me.”

{She felt as though she had to confirm that she wasn’t like the Gem that was rampaging through the streets. This person didn’t need to be scared, they just needed   to   move.

The building groaned and bore down on Garnet with an increasing desire to be level with the ground. The fusion shifted her feet in amongst the pebbles of the former structure, supporting it like Atlas with fiery determination.}

                                       {First impressions were hard.

They were even harder when you were impaired, which was something Garnet was quickly discovering. Maddie was talking, intermittently as conversation often was, but Garnet was having trouble really committing anything the other was saying to memory.  Her mind was   like   a   sieve. A particularly shoddy one, at that. 

Eventually, the fusion was left to do nothing more but attempt to watch Maddie’s mouth as they spoke in a last-effort attempt to understand what was being said. Focus on Maddie’s lips turned into lazy exploration of the interesting features of her face, which ultimately turned into over-thinking and analysing exactly what Maddie was.

Whatever she was, the alcohol-soaked synapses of the fusion’s brain decided that it was attractive, and acted on impulse.
