I’m pretty sure gems don’t bleed but it’s a good shorthand.
Thank you.! All of you guys, I’ve been getting a lot of …unexpectedly nice messages unfortunately most are anon so I have no real way to reply other than posting it here so I’m gonna try to get to them in my next few posts and hopefully it reaches whoever it’s aimed at- Lot’s of cool well wishes, some requests and some telling me what I prick I am for drawing Pearl being a dick to Connie- I like those ones too. I read ‘em all and I appreciate you guys looking at my sketches.
I wish I would have saved that “You’re a dick in the real way!” joke because it would have made a funnier drawing than a shitty title.
Sometimes when you’re a kid you idolize losers. That dude down the street with all the cool toys and comic books seems pretty rad when you’re 12 but when you’re his age and realize he was a shut in without a job who would hang out with a 12 year old he doesn’t seem that healthy.
…Although if he had been alive for thousands of years you may have learned a thing or two from him that would actually benefit you in the long run.
You guys are making me actually have to think about this bullshit. Uh, I get this question a lot so I guess it deserves an answer. Let me start off by saying …I don’t really know much about “bad pearl” outside of an aesthetic thing and where it originated. I don’t know about the au on a very deep level other than how she kinda looks and that I assume it’s associated with the Steven and Steven’s episode. I don’t know if I’m stepping on some toes by making mine look a little different or making Pearl too much of an asshole but honestly if I put too much thought or seriousness into it I get this gross…fanficy vibe and it loses it’s fun.
If I have to put a spin on the idea or offer any Pearl and Connie backstory other than I’m fucking around and it is what it is I guess my idea would be:
After the Steven and the Stevens episode the Steven in their ….Universe (heh.) disappears- I think that’s standard right? So Pearl goes on adventures through the warp or…multiverse with Connie to look for him- Maybe Connie is aware maybe she’s isn’t. Maybe she is the only person who even remembers Steven other than Pearl who seems kinda nuts to everyone else and…Is, I guess-so she hangs onto her and they stick together. Whether Connie wants to or not because she needs an ally…or maybe she’s more important to the task at hand in some way then Pearl lets on. Yeah, I’ll go with that. Let’s play with that idea.
That or I’m fucking around.
I just like Rick and Morty and I like drawing pearl being a dick.
Whatever makes it more enjoyable for you.
Stay tuned, I got a couple more. I’m just trying to space it out before you guys get too sick of it and more importantly I’m trying to fill out some of your requests.
