@LoonyHey Loony.
I think a while ago there was a picture of the extended Dork Squad that you did.
I think I missed it.
help
Also, mind doing the Emeralds?

The City of Gems

@Akayaofthemoon
I still don't have a picture for Cymophane.

The City of Gems

@BrassOtterIs there a way to safely (relatively) grind? Because it looked like there was in the playthrough I watched, though that was about a year ago.

@HaltingBlooper

Steven Universe episode spoilers XD

And if the diamonds invade Earth, well... Earth has stuff that can literally set anything on fire, melt nearly anything (Chemistry is scary), and of course, the nuclear option so even if the humans don't have an XCOM set up, they're pretty much all fine with a small invasion unlike the first time.

Though I have a feeling we're going to go in a 'the diamonds were once hitler, but now since they have experienced loss, they will be sympathetic and the Crystal Gems will need to let go of the past' sorta thing which is kinda annoying. Now if some diamonds like Blue go that way but some like Yellow or White go the other, then thats a much better story.

@Archmage MC

On the diamonds

I think that Blue might get a redemption thing. We really don't know anything about White Diamond, and if Jasper isn't redeemable (not saying she should be), The Giraffe doesn't stand a chance....
Unless the show were to suddenly develop terrible writing.

The City of Gems

So, I just saw the new episodes (which, according to CN, were "intentionally" leaked, which I doubt)
and
WOW
dat was some gud steven

just in case someone hasnt seen the episodes, SPOILERS

This was a fantastic Steven Bomb. Honestly, this is a tie for best bomb in my book, the other being the first one...and the fourth one....what a great show. We got to see looks into gem culture and society, the relationship between the diamonds, the "famethyst", which gave us a look into what the average, run of the mill gem does. Which is, according to rules, sit in a box when not on duty. Also, we got to see that, at least on this outpost, from the Amethysts, the Jasper, and the Carnelian, it seems that normal gems don't really care about their direct higher-up. I liked this, it made the Gems seem more like people than robots. The fact that they found out Amethyst was an infiltrator, and then used that information not to set the alarm off, but to play a prank and-perhaps intentionally- end up rescuing said Amethyst's HUMAN friends. The writing of the pretending-to-be-homeworld part was great. Everything was great.

@Archmage MC
Zeus is a gem?

The City of Gems

<Snipped quote by HaltingBlooper>

So basically Capt's shield, but with hooks on it and it being even bigger than the fusion?

Tower Shields themselves are the size of riot shields or a big bigger than that. So even bigger than that and your getting into Anime territory xD. I'm ok with that, just saying imagine that in your head. And I'm sure Marry is kinda tall herself from the picture I've got xD.

@Archmage MC

Sorry, by scaled up I just meant that it is proportional to the fusion. Mb.

@Kronshi
Also, I thought I would give a brief description of the limitations of her active power as of the general start of the rp.

Really, all she can do now is basic color. Cliff is brown, she can turn into the same shade of brown. However, it's hard for her to do things like simulate texture or depth (like those awesome art things that look 3D), so it really just makes her a bit harder to see, or see where she begins and the rest of the world ends.
