SU Main cast redesigns

I recently got back into the SU fandom and got the urge to do some redesigns. So for my designs I wanted to do the crystal gems in the "Greg era" from before Steven was born.

I didn't change Young Greg at all but wanted to draw him as well. For Rose I thought she might have switched out from a dress to a flowy pant set for more comfort and mobility.

I took inspiration for Pearl from her pilot design. I love the design but feel like it doesn't match her personality as well as the main design so I tried to blend the two.

Amethyst I had the most ideas for, I thought since what is normally sold as citrine is just heat-treated amethyst, She might have some orange from being "over cooked" I also put her in a more casual outfit. I think jorts fit her much better than short shorts. I did forget she was much more of a kid in the Greg era but I think it still works.

I don't have much reasoning for Garnet, I just thought she looked really cool. I gave her hand wraps since she uses gauntlets and made her more muscular to show off her strength.

Please don't repost my art to other platforms!

The thing about the setting of Sky COTL is that even though the player characters can all fly the world is built by an ancient civilization of people who could not and pretty much all the NPCs you will interact with outside of the dev inserts during anniversaries etc. are spirits of those people who could not fly. as a sky kid you are functionally just a mimic that takes on the appearance of the ancestors and picks up their gestures and fashions through imitation of their cultures you are exposed to. you don’t sneeze innately - you learn how to do a sneeze gesture by watching a spirit sneeze. this is how you learn how to wave to people, how to dance, how to applaud. when sky kids (players) communicate with each other, this is the language they have learned to do so, but because of how players communicate with each other, they are abstracting the language from the ancients into a sky kid culture of their own. player communities use the Bow emote frequently with each other in gratitude at every little interaction, which makes sky kids out to be funny little courteous guys. i got so offroaded from what i was going to say originally, which is that the pleasure of a world where you can fly is not necessarily one absent stairs, but one where stairs exist but where you can circumvent them with flight

I want to phase AGAB language out of my normal use because I'm not intersex and AGAB was meant for intersex people. Does anyone have any good alternatives? I use "person with a uterus" or "person with a penis" or any other anatomy based language when it's relevant to the conversation but there are aspects of my body and experience I want to talk about that aren't just about my organs.

I'm a person who is perceived as a woman. I check off all the boxes for what is considered "standard female anatomy" (big quotes here, I don't think a standard should define us) I grew up raised as a girl, I haven't physically transitioned at all, etc etc etc

I want to be able to acknowledge and expand on these parts of my existence without referring to myself as a woman bc I'm not. I also don't want to be put in the "woman-lite" category. I don't see my body as being gendered even if other people perceive it as being woman gendered. I've considered the term "female-bodied' to describe me but my worry is that language could be used against trans people. I don't like the terms masc or fem for me either because I don't feel masculine or feminine. I don't connect to those terms.

I constantly feel like when I try to explain my experience I run into all sorts of linguistics barriers and it's deeply frustrating to me

I feel like my entire existence is defined by the things I am not instead of the things I am

There is no one thing that I am, simply things I am not

Absolutely losing my mind listening to bodys by car seat headrest over and over, this is what I'm alive to do

I don't usually do flag making or coining but I've been thinking about this concept a lot so I thought I'd put it out there

Feral-Identified

"feral" in this context does not mean violent, it refers more to an animal that should be domestic but had to exist in a wild state, such as feral cats, dogs, or pigeons for example.

This flag is for anyone who relates to the concept of being a feral animal due to not getting proper social development as a kid. This can be due to trauma, neurodiversity, exclusion, neglect or any other factors. People who identify with this may feel more connected to animals or nature than other people but it's not required. It's also not inherently a gender but can be if the person feels it has affected their gender.

For me specifically because I'm autistic I didn't form any genuine human connections until I was an adult and it's definitely impacted my development. I relate a lot to animals who were never socialized
