HI I HAD A ****ING AMAZING IDEA FOR OUR SU AU (and for a story but oh well) ALSO MATHEW CANNONICALLY HAS A "REDEMPTION ARC"

BASSICALLY THERES A STATUE IN A TEMPLE ON HOMEWORD THAT ARE THE "ORIGINAL" GEMS. LIKE. "THE ORIGINAL" DIAMOND AND CO (grey diamond, grey lapis, grey saphire, grey pearl) ARE STUCK IN AN UNMELTABLE GLASS/ICE AND ARE TREATED LIKE STATUES ALTHOUGH THEIR STILL ALIVE AND MATHEWS REDEMPTION ARC? HE GETS KIDNAPPED AND SAVED BY SOME WEIRD GROUP OF PEOPLE AND JOINS THEIR ORGANIZATION

YEH-??

:DDD I HAVE DESIGNS FOR THE "ORIGINALS" TOO

Lapis and Saphire are my favorites,, but heres a tiny info that was later demolished into "this isn't true": Grey pearl was a respected general. (this was turned into: Pearls are slaves) Grey Saphire was a childish tiny who liked comfy clothes. (Turned to: She was a wise and had a greater future sight then current saphires and knew they where gonna be frozen.) Grey Lapis was extremely powerful and could make herself water wings, and water arms, she was disabled and blind. since her gem was severely damaged. but used her powers to over come that (Turned to: She was a reckless destroyer who never listened to anyone, and was weak due to impurity) Grey Diamond was "true genderless" (aka used nb pronouns as well as physically nb), and very protective of their gems, even fought with them on the battlefield. (turned to: female leader with massive expectations and anger issues)

she's literally like 3'2,, and loves wearing big comfy fluffy clothes perfectly suited for cold weather,, just cause she's always cold and likes comfy,, and she literally is a child. least mentally,,

saammmeeee- but like pearl has a really cool design,, and Lapis-? yes,, grey diamond? i just like their hair lmfao

lmfao a blind water armed rock

well then

gasp wait what if the "Gem Rebellion" figures out how to melt the ice/glass but they can only take one of the originals,, and all they know about the originals is what homeworld says about them,, which would they (your characters) pick,,?

BSFJHDGEWYUHVBIUFWHKSJ THEY EXPECT WISE TEACHER AND THEN THEY JUST GET A LITERAL CHILD

WORLDS GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT MOMENT LMFAOOOO THEN THEY'D HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF A HOMESICK LONELY KID MISSING HER FRIENDS

OH she knows A LOT her future sight is slightly more advanced then a normal sapphires,, But she’s a ****ing child and her visions come as “dreams” and she just finds a a lot of them boring and doesn’t tell any of them lmao But she will if bribed with cuddles

And she only ever has talked to lapis about her dreams,,

Yes,,
