@Akayaofthemoon And I'm not saying that it wouldn't be. It's just simply how Eve would see it. And I'm afraid Eve would only make Aquamarine feel worse if they met. She'll probably be more careful with the words after the Sodalite incident, but this is Eve and Eve does not lie unless lied to, until it evens out. She will say exactly what she thinks and I'm sorry to say that it might hurt more than what Bloodstone would say.

And I can imagine the newborns are beyond in denial, everything would've happened so quickly and their world has turned upside down.

@21308 You have no idea how relieving it felt to hear that from someone else, especially someone who wasn't an aro-ace. It's not something I talk about a lot because I know I've unintentionally said some pretty insensitive things due to not understanding romanctic and sexual attraction so I never wanted to bring it up in case I ended up offending them, especially around my allosexual and/or romantic friends. And I'm sorry to hear that you've been hurt because of how people in these sort of relationships neglected all else. I've yet to have it happen to me but I'm certain it will eventually, I've already seen it happen to others in my school. I have a really, really long rant as to why this emphasis disturbs me, especially with how the western world in particular seems to see it as, but I'd rather not.

As far as Eve would be concerned, Bloodstone was able to protect the newborns, Aquamarine was not, regardless of the circumstances. Had he not arrive, what could've become of the others?

I wonder how the newborns will feel about Bloodstone being their savior...I wonder how Spinel will react to having Bloodstone hand her Howlite's gemshards...

@21308 Don't be sorry for falling asleep. And I hope I don't sound melodramatic, but it was really painful to hear her speak about it, especially since I had gone through most everything she mentioned, and that fact that it was happening again at this damned school to my sweet little cousin, even if just over the course of a week...I was beyond angry.

*Glomps* At least it's over now. Only Eve and Soda feels will be coming up. Unless Bloodstone and I's collab will be a lot more feelsy than expected. Or if Eve finds out of the fate of Talc.

RIP HOWLITE

SEPTEMBER 20XX - OCTOBER 20XX

I wonder how Eve in particular will feel about this. Not just because she let Howlite and the other newborns stay with Aquamarine, having respected their choice, when she didn't trust her at all, and knowing it could've easily have been Sodalite or Amber in her place, but also because of how short her life is expected to be. It's sort of sad to say, but I'm fairly certain Eve expects herself to die before any of the other gems, even before Reggie and the other humans do. The fact that it wasn't her will definitely mess with her in some way.

@Kronshi Pssssh, at least it's not Emerald and Eve. XD
I still don't know how to feel about the fact that all your ships involve Eve but hey alright. No idea if this ship will sail but meep. XD

@Raijinslayer Don't worry, if Evealite as OTP ever does happen, Reggieve as brOTP won't be overshadowed. One of my biggest pet peeves is how many stories treat romance as this like, pinnacle of all relationships, and I'm just like...

This became a rant very quickly Orz

*Stares at family and friends* These are the people I love and they're the only people I will love, and the fact that it's not romantic love shouldn't invalidate it in any way, and the same should be for characters in your writing. Just because they've got themselves a boyfriend/girlfriend shouldn't suddenly mean everyone else is pushed to the side as if they don't matter or that if they do, it's nothing compared to this romance. And there's no way you're going to tell me I'm missing out or some crap. Or that this is somehow inferior. Or that I'm an unfeeling monster of some sort for being this way. You don't know how many times I've heard it, along with 'you don't know yet' or 'you're too young to know' or 'you'll change' or the most infuriating 'you'll meet the one someday don't give up' or whatever. But seriously, don't give up. Like I'm trying in the first place? What is that even supposed to mean, don't give up? XD

Honestly, the emphasis western culture in particular puts on romantic relationships over all other kinds seems sorta unhealthy to me. I don't know about America but people in Canada in particular seem scared of all affections that aren't romantic and/or perceive these are romantic advancement, as if they expect to find everything from it and must search for the 'true' one their entire lives and just...It seems unhealthy. Likewise with how western culture views grief and how it should be dealt with. Those are probably the two things I will never understand as long as I stay in Canada.

...Aaaaand that became a rant very quickly. Orz

*Hugs everyone back* Thanks guys, it's just...It pisses me off so much, and in a way I think it has messed with her. Not to my level since I was there for literally -and I don't mean figuratively or metaphorically, I do indeed mean literally- the longest school year of my life, but in that short week she already wants that school to burn down, and I think she's a lot less secure around non-immigrants now because a lot of the hate she got was because (and I got it too but not as much because my accent is near non-existent so most people couldn't tell right away and though I made it very apparent to them because being Kurdish is one of the few things I hold pride in I guess it didn't stick out to them as much) xenophobes and racists.
And that's really sweet of you two, but they'd have to be low or sans cholestrol brownies and cookies, because I'd be giving them to my cousin because she needs them, not me, and one of her many health issues demands that she cannot have too much and I'd definitely be letting her have all the sweets, though knowing what a sweet little child she is she would probably refuse to have any if I and the two of you didn't at least have one. It's so freakin' awful, she's actually one of the sweetest kids I've known and they dared treat her like that...I'm normally not one to say something like this but I do not care that these kids are four years younger than me, there's no way I'm just going to let this slide if I ever meet them.

I'm sorry but I need to rant.

My littlest cousin just confessed to us how she had been treated at the same school I had been in while I was in 6th grade and I was quite frankly about to cry and was just about ready to beat the life out of someone, and it's not easy to provoke me into violence.

She was only there for a week and yet the things they did...The fucking nerve of these little shits...

I swear, I hope that school burns to the ground, and I wish the worst of misfortunes upon the people, teachers, students, or otherwise, who were able to bring themselves to hurt my poor little cousin.

What the hell did she do to you.

Tell me.

Tell me what my ill, feeble, lost, confused, stranger of a little child who hardly even knew how to speak to you all did to deserve being put through such physical and emotional pain.

Tell me.

Tell me, and it better be good because if it isn't...If I EVER and I mean EVER find the likes of you, I'll find a way to make sure you continue to rue it even upon your deathbed, I PROMISE.

I do not care WHAT people did or neglected to do to me while I was there, but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE hurts my family like that.

NO ONE.

Especially not the littl'uns.

Especially not like that.

We'll be sharing schools in two years.

Y'all better watch out.
