THE DESIGNS OF THE ‘CANONY’ MYSTERY TWINS GEMS!!!!! 

Moonstone!dipper and Diamond!bill -but young diamond so not fully grown- talking about earth.

“The Earth is INCREDIBLE my Diamond! there are so many species’, and the humans! incredible! they’re so many various personalities and they don’t have destined jobs like we do! It was AMAZING my diamond!”

“yeesh pine tree, You found out that much in just a 2 day stay there? I’m starting to regret not coming with you and didn’t I tell you not to call me ‘My Diamond’”

“uh-i don’t think i can call you by your chosen name My Diamond but uh anyways,i even met some gems that graciously took me in when i lost track of the rubies!.... the uh,Crystal Gems I believe.. I met someone there, who looked a lot like me, but they were a sun stone. i believe they’re name was Mabel.” (ignores the last part lol)

“ You met Gems on earth and some gem that looked like you ? i wonder why they were there. I don’t think Big Y.D sent any other gems for recon.”

(my headcanon about them in Crystal falls is that Dipper and Mabel were hole-mates, born from 2 holes that were too close to each other so they were born at the same date and they looked a lot alike but they were separated at birth during the gem war, Mabel was in Earth and Dipper lived in Homeworld) 

(Bill got his bow tie from dipper since Dipper is the prime Gem Librarian in change of all the logs of the homeworld, Dipper also has a few old age Victorian Earth books like How to Tie a Bow Tie)

(Dipper is also Bill’s personal attendant since he didn’t want a in his words “a Boring nosy busy body yellow Pearl” watching his every move, but bill is a bit wishy washy about being called “My diamond” by dipper )

(Yellow diamond calls Bill Young one lol)

“No one but him”

random Yellow Pearl ; My young diamond, with the “earth” now soon going to disperse is there anything you would have wished to preserve? as such was done by Pink diamond? 

Bill ; There’s only one beautiful thing i would’ve saved from that world like pink diamond did -bless her soul-... but even if I did, He wouldn’t have wanted to stay

YP ; and who would that be my young diamond?

Bill ; ... my dear sweet Pinetree. I’d save no one but him

YP ;  (plots to kidnap dipper)

Blue Moonstone, Pink Sunstone

I love the idea of the gems’ skin/bodies being actually made of the stones their gems are made of, so Dipper has this magnificent iridescent radiance to his ‘skin’ and you can see through him if he turns against the light right. This is most noticeable on his cheekbones and nose, and his fingers, which tend to have a centimeter or so of translucence before the color, and the degree of blue in his skin varies depending on the light.

Likewise, Mabel, a pink sunstone, has light peachy-pink skin with internal shades and facets beneath the surface, along with little flecks of metallic gold and copper and rosy pink. I could have made her orange and iridescent just like a moonstone–a highly polished golden sunstone–but the rough, low-polished pink sunstone fit her far better.

In my Gem Falls AU, diamonds personally sow kindergartens, and the diamond who sowed the kindergarten influences where on the color wheel the gems will be. Yellow Diamond is responsible for reds, oranges, yellows, and bright yellow-greens, and Blue Diamond is responsible for blues, purples, blacks and dark greens. Pink Diamond makes pinks, the purplish reds, some pinkish purples, and white gems. Multicolored gems like bismuth are planned specifically and are generally warrior or worker gems made to fit in a specific niche. Moonstones are decorative foot soldiers made to be mass-produced and discarded quickly, the pawns of a chess set. Sunstones are decorative support soldiers, designed to perform the roles of a squire to a knight. Bill and Kryptos–Yellow and Blue diamond–laid out a kindergarten together, with Kryptos overseeing the sowing of the smaller half, and Bill overseeing the sowing of the larger part. However, right where the two halves met, there was one hole. And in an unheard of turn of events, two separate gems emerged from one hole–a sunstone, and a moonstone. Furthermore, the moonstone’s gem was located on his forehead, same as Bill, while the sunstone had her gem on her chest, same as Kryptos–opposite of their respective diamonds.

Because she was a pink sunstone in a kindergarten that should have been solely shades of yellow and shades of blue, Bill told Kryptos to take the sunstone and took the Moonstone into his personal court as a novelty servant, despite protest from Kryptos. However, Bill had a history of smashing gems for fun, and especially as punishment, and when the sunstone disobeyed Kryptos she was brought before him for ‘trial’. He ordered them to smash her on sight, but the moonstone intervened, begging the diamond to spare her. Bill agreed, but he was intrigued by the Moonstone's loyalty and decided to make him part of his personal entourage, ordering Dipper to ‘either learn to fight for me or learn to die for me.’

I love these design!
