memories

• i came out of beta a little later than the rest of the gems. i was “overcooked” in this manner, but i ended up coming out stronger.
  • i came out sort of like “the popcorn was in the microwave long enough to pop more kernels,” compared to amethyst’s “the popcorn was in the microwave long enough to burn the whole bag.”
  • i was very sturdy, yes, but once i was down, i was down for a long time. my overcooked-ness was the cause of this.
• my gem was also a bit too small for my face, and had facets instead of cabochon, like most of the betas.
  • this also messed with my form a bit.
  • in real life, jaspers and other members of the chalcedony family are cryptocrystalline (as compared to normal crystalline seen in other quartzes), which makes them harder to facet.
• i came out of the rock just a little bit after pink diamond was assassinated. this planted the thought that i’d failed in my head for a long time, and ended up being my primary drive. i didn’t want to fail another authority.
• i hated yellow diamond. i never expressed this, though; i would’ve been executed.
• the diamonds were referred to with Capitalized Pronouns, like god in the bible. in fact, they were usually seen as gods.
• housing on homeworld was very simplistic. they had smaller-than-average apartments that were almost identical, save for minor customization.
• i owned a pink diamond uniform i never wore.
• i never heard that pink diamond was rose quartz or anything. all i known is that i did not like rose and i would rip her gem from her form if i ever could.
• fusing felt really weird. like, since we were light, we got extremely hot and glowed to the point where you almost couldn’t look at us. it was really disorienting if you didn’t do it a lot.
  • if a fusion with enough gems took long enough to fuse on sand it could probably make glass.
• my time with lapis was... not a good time. it was tons of pressure on me at all times (sort of like going down fast in an airplane), and it was always very, very cold. the chains dug into my wrists and cut the skin like metal... i could still feel it for months afterward.
  • this time was probably 2 years or more. i don’t know, it blended together.
• i can’t describe how being corrupted felt yet. my brain got foggier by the moment as it was happening; there was a literal mental rift in my brainspace.
