Witch AU.
The first oath was taken in silence, the twining of fingers linking them together for eternity.
Doodled the trash Diamondsonas for @salacio because they fill me with joy. Realized belatedly that my dumb rhinestone was tilted, so Photoshop to the rescue!
Chroma is on the left and belongs to me, Somnio is Salacio’s! They’re trash and I love them.

Ur roman au looks rlly cool but whitewashing garnet in it isn't as cool :/
Hello Anon, thanks for the ask, and thank you for the compliment.
I will say I am somewhat baffled by the thought that I whitewashed Garnet in the picture. It is, as it stands, just a line art drawing right now, with no local colors (local meaning the color of the thing in question) at all. I really wanted to push the idea that they’re underneath some big trees, so I did overlay a grey shadow of dappled light filtering through the trees. Otherwise everything, Garnet’s skin tone, hair, Ame’s skin tone, Rose’s hair, the grass, dirt, clothing, and tree bark, all of which should at the very least show some color, are all white/valueless. It has nothing to do with me trying to make Garnet whiter than she is, it is just lines.
If it is in reference to her hair, I admit I did consider it carefully before I changed it. In the original sketch, her afro was intact, but I wanted to show that she and Pearl are touching their hands together, so I decided to change her hairstyle to a much closer cropped, tightly curled hairstyle typical of Roman men in that era. Everyone has their hair/clothing changed to reflect the styles of the time, and I was hoping that maintaining a coiffed, curly hairstyle would still show she has curls, even if they’re artfully arranged as they are in the statuary from the time.
I hope you will take a look at some of my other work, because I have drawn Garnet quite a lot, and I try my best to keep her faithful to canon skin tone and hairstyle. I hope this response also clarifies things for others, because I don’t agree with whitewashing, and did not want to give that impression.
Thank you again for the ask.
Schools should be glad they don’t have to deal with this team of moms attending PTA meetings. The school curriculum doesn’t touch gem history at all and Helen’s store bought cookies are a disgrace.
I spent an awful lot of time drawing my trash Diamondsona. She is based of the Ocean Dream, the most famous Teal Diamond, and her name is Somnio, Latin for Dream. Go figure.
The long haired character is Chroma, @harinezumiko ‘s Diamondsona, and Emerald and Blister, another OC and Nio’s Pearl.
