It's been two months since I got my first ever real job. And let me tell you, adapting to the work-life from school life is not as easy as I thought.

Also, the company I'm working for is not exactly local. It's kinda local but the company's main office is in another country. So I need to get used to the policy that is pretty different from where I'm from.

The job itself is probably gonna be the closest thing to my dream than I'll ever have. I'm an Editor and a tutor for Mandarin. For my editing job, they give me topics and I need to do research on writing informative writings about them. Or, I get a pretty general topic and I need to write interesting short stories about those topics.

The write-ups I'm doing are mainly for foreign students who are in the progress of learning and mastering the English Language.

The biggest downside I have is the tutoring in Mandarin. Now, I am Chinese and my first language is Chinese. But my major from University is English Education, so it's still a challenge for me to keep at it.

But hey, a job's a job, especially during these hard times. (*cough*covidandlockdown*cough*) And I'm pretty thankful that I can still land the job.

Hope you enjoyed this little project of mine. Drawing and coloring have been a huge break from work.

The two couldn’t accept that their leader would be gone and they probably took it out on Coral. Which was a plot point resolved by Tripixle in an animatic, but it got taken down with the rest of her work. 

(Also, if you notice, three of the post are screenshots a few months back, screenshot number 1 and 4 has "Tripixle achieve" as the profile, which is taken recently after her announcement.)

Lol actually there is another short comic that actually introduces the relationship between Coral and Amethyst as her introduction, but that’s not in her Instagram achieve so i cant really do much abt it.

Description of the missing short comic:

First panel, showcasing Amethyst with an awkward Coral standing beside her, not really knowing what to do.

Second panel, “After some time”, showcasing how their friendship had developed with Coral leaning her chin on Amethyst’s head, hanging out and joking around.

This is one of her earlier works, its an very significant plot point and its what i wish to elaborate in future chapters (or rather past issues) in my own interpretations.

(I’m gonna try my best to redraw the short comic! Wish me luck! 

Pearl's idea of "I was fine with the men, who would come into her life now and again" indicates Rose dated several other humans that came and went as time goes by.

In this au however, she might have left out Coral from the equation because she didn't think Coral was even a competition.

However, when Coral came into the scene, Pearl finally realized there IS someone that understood. Coral was with Pearl the whole time. The rebellion, the life on earth, the aftermath, Rose's death, and Steven's birth.

This is probably why their duet makes sense. The two pearls have been playing an epic chess match for Pink/Rose's heart but in reality, they've both lost to Greg and neither of them wanted to admit it.

This is probably the breaking point of their relationship and how they can finally talk about it without worrying to be at each other's throats.

But anyways, these are just my thoughts.

Lastly, two animatics down, two to go!

Coral's part in Happily Ever After has been sent in, but they're not exactly in their original versions. I'll try to edit in an instrumental soundtrack of Pearl's Happily Ever After and hope for a similar outcome!

Now we're just missing "Listen Before I Go", which is probably the other huge animatic project done by Tripixle regarding this AU.

If you happen to have it on any of your devices, please let me know so we can share it with the rest of the fandom!

So in the beginning, we were given a glimpse of Pearl's original position, which most of us believed to be White Diamond's pearl. (This was before the canon origin of Pearl was released.)

Pearl had a brief eye contact with Pink Diamond's pearl while they passed by. There we can tell they probably weren't super close or anything, just Pink Pearl (who I will be calling her Coral from this point on) casually waving at another pearl like they were acquaintances in the same office.

After Pearl was assigned or "given" to Pink Diamond (without Coral getting hurt and replaced), she found her new diamond panicking over her burning throne while Coral was doing her best. Pearl realized right then and there what she was getting into for the rest of her gem life. She activated the sprinkler system and accepted her new role and post.

The next scene showed how Coral was a bit nervous around the new pearl. Her quick glances were noticed by the aloof-looking Pearl but her friendly handshake was finally started their relationship. (This is most likely how the two introduced each other similar to the short comic.)

We see Pink balancing on a giant ball with Coral by her side. Pearl came in, flipped out, and rushed to her now wobbling diamond. Coral was less worried but she joined in on the mayhem. Pink fell down and both pearls caught her. The trio, now laying on the floor, was stunned for a moment. Pearl got up and checked if her diamond was hurt in any way, but the diamond couldn't help herself and burst into laughter with Coral. It looked like Pearl was able to finally let herself go from her own strict codes and officially join the two as a group.

After Pink got her first colony, Earth, from Yellow and Blue, she had fun adventures with her pearls but found out how it was damaging the planet. She formed the rebellion starting with her two loyal friends.

After their encounter with the permafusion at the sky arena, the trio came to a rest and discussed their excitement. The trio accidentally fused from their shared excitement and startled the passing permafusion, who later joined in as Garnet.

The next scene cut to a battle with Homeworld gems, where we saw the Crystal Gems had the upper hand from the battle. Unfortunately, it was also the last battle as three diamonds launched a direct attack on the planet Earth. Rose realized what was truly going on and grabbed the closest gems to her, Coral and Garnet. The other closest member, Pearl, was too far for the leader to reach, but Coral was not one to give up on her companion. She screamed at Pearl, urging her to come over. She was finally within reach and into safety as the light shone bright green.

Skipping a few storylines, we see Rainbow Quartz being shown off to Greg the human. Coral looking a bit upset seeing Greg (or RQ?). We then move on to the talk of Greg and the leader of the Crystal Gems. Coral was found to be just as worried as the rest.

As Rose gave out her big announcement to the gems, Coral forced out a smile, trying to be happy for her leader while Garnet and Pearl took a different turn. Coral tried to keep the group together but failed to do so as everyone wanted to be alone.

Pearl was found weeping behind a stone hand by Coral. The two pearls wasn't sure whats going to happen, but they know they'll get through it when they have each other.

After that its a sequence of major events in rapid pace, from Steven joining the team, to Opals appearance, to the fight with Sugilite, to Coral's fusions with the gems, to Stevonnie, to the arrival, to the Malachite arch, to Coral's confrontation with Pink (Story for another time), to the Sardonyx arch, to Coral and Garnet's fusion, to the Rupphire wedding, and finally, to the Diamond days arch.

Aw man, I haven't seen this animatic for a super long time. So glad I was able to find it on youtube, which was re-uploaded by someone else after the original got deleted.

I'll be posting another animatic I found online, but the other two animatics are still nowhere to be found. To whoever's reading this, please take a look at your downloaded folder and see if you have the following animatics downloaded:

1. Listen before I go

2. Coral's part in "Here we are in the future"
