Fic Summary: Pearl has lost it all. She forced the only person she could ever love out her front door, and after years of one night stands and drinking to forget, she's engaged with a man. A man who grips her wrist and forces her into bed, who doesn't love her for herself and only the title of fiancé. After waking in the middle of the night, and realising she has nothing left to live for, she sets out in the dark to right the one wrong which had torn her life apart beyond measure.

With a sudden pang, Pearl realised they were her clothes. She remembered buying that blue cropped jumper, and purple denim skirt. She remembered wearing them on those day excursions with Gem at the farmers market. She remembered those freckled hands pulling them off her at night. And she remembered that they had been part of that pile that Gem had hastily packed without much regard to those clothes she was taking before she was kicked out. Pearl swallowed a breath of fresh regret.

She hadn't thought this far, Pearl realised, as she watched the mixed expression on Gem's face. Some part of her expression-specifically her eyes-was wide with shock, but her mouth hung agape as if in a silent shout. Then there was a small twitch at the corner of her mouth as she almost caved into a conflicted smile.
HOW ARE THEY ALL SO GORGEOUS!?#?@?!?

I have the hair for grace (my natural hair) but I don't have a ginger wig, so Gem would be brunette if she is chosen

She'd once held Gem so delicately, hands in her hair and on her hips. She used to call her baby, and her's, and her darling. She'd even called her love before. But she had never called it love before.

"H-hey, Cleo!" She said, giddiness in her voice. Lizzie was leaning against the door frame, smile quirked in her voice. "Guess what Pearl brought in while you were upstairs!"
"Um... I have no idea..." Cleo tilted their head.
"Booze!" Pearl called from inside the room.

this time its ESMP1 Gem!
a very magnificent screenshot of these idiots (affectionate)
gh,,, shadowrot or shiny duo for the soul perchance .... (or a false symmetry if you're feeling special)
(if you're still doing recs ofc !! sorry mobile tumblr hates when i look at your page i haven't a clue why 😭)
Edit since the cut is in an inconvenient spot: all the stuff I tagged is there I promise guys just scroll down
Absolutely I am! Here’s shiny duo:
Shadow rot: (this one is still kinda a sketch lol)
and False!
Also because I’m really proud of it, here’s the shiny duo drawing without the background and stuff:
Anyway sorry it took me so long to get to these, but thank you for the reqs!
@insomnya777 I’ve been seeing all the posts you’ve been making recently about a very specific duo. I have also seen your pfp. I have also seen the special little guy who is the overlap between these two things. So..
just for you I have drawn them. All three of them. The write adjective here polycule ever. The undeniably something, unclear what thing but completely undeniable. The award winners for most unhinged and simultaneously pathetic group of people to ever have extreme romantic tension with each other. The have (probably) never eaten an american hamburger squad. In other words, the family.
also I wanted to clarify because I was doing all those drawings of Gem and Joel as photos of the way brothers being chaotic that I don’t headcannon them as siblings I headcannon them as chaotic, which isn’t actually a headcannon because it’s already canon. Also have I been spelling headcannon wrong this whole time? lol.
anyway I tried to be all fancy shmancy with the anatomy and Etho’s face was lost in the process but I like how Joel came out looking though, so trade offs ig. Also idk why those arrows are there. Technology hates me. I blame, um, whatever did that.
I’ve been having a really terrible week health wise so to cheer myself up I drew more of Gem and Joel as chaotic sibling energy photos of the Way brothers. Idk if this genre of fanart has an audience but tbh I don’t really care because I had fun drawing it lol. Also for context for non-MCR fans (psh imagine lol/silly /not serious) my chemical romance is a band, a really good band, and the lead singer and the bassist are brothers and also really silly and there are many photos of them sillying together. This is part two of my drawing Gem and Joel as some of said photos.
This is, admittedly, one of the less silly photos from my collection, but they are usually very silly trust! Og photo under cut vv
Imagine, for one glorious moment, across time and space and what is both plausible and possible, a crossover.
this morning I started watching Agatha All Along, and you know what Halloween’s coming late this year! Rahhh!
They would walk the witches road with ease lol. This is just a silly doodle I did while I was watching. Honestly the main reason I drew it was because Down the Witches Road is catchy song
I was planning to wait to see how long it took for Tumblr to show this to bluet but I’m very impatient.
@bluetbluish wouldn’t want you to think I’ve gone back on my word and not drawn them
also everyone make sure you go like and rebloob and comment on bluet’s drawing!!!! It’s amazing!!!!!!
(Also bluet I reblooged your drawing of them and there was a typo in my rebloob and it has been haunting me for the past forever. I know what the word um means I assure you I am simply mostly uninformed on the uk beyond whatever the British blorbos show in their videos. Just felt the need to clarify)
My drawing of Gem and Joel that I did for Bluet! We’ll see if she finds this teehee.
The pose is based off of one of the photos from my collection of Gerard and Mikey Way having chaotic sibling energy, because yes I will be making everything about MCR until the I-missed-their-concert blues wears off.
(Also bluet if you do find this I saw your post about collabs and I would love love love to collab again sometime but first I’ve got get the thirty wips I’ve got half finished done, dusted, and posted, plus this big project which may or may not happen)

more mtg au stuff!!!!! I was thinking about what everyone would look like if I put them on a different plane than I originally intended (for non-magic-players: plane refers to, like, a plane of existence. Every plane in the magic the gathering multiverse is like it’s own little world with stories and characters and completely different setting. It’s pretty rad) and I’ve been listened to the soundtrack for the streets of New Capenna non-stop recently so I decided everyone needed to join the various demon mafia. Because I’m just. Like that. I suppose.
This is Joel’s design, and it’s the one finished piece I have, because of course. His design is inspired by anhelo, and that’s halo on his face, which is technically-the-blood-of-angels but we don’t talk about that.
This one’s Etho and it isn’t finished but I just got bored working on it honestly.
this is scar and gem. It says join us because that the song from the soundtrack that fits them. Also they want to recruit you to their demon mafia gang family thing.
in this version of the au (which I’m not sure if it counts as it’s own separate au or not lol) I currently have figured out Joel, Tango, Grian Pearl, Martyn, Scott, Etho, Cleo, Scar, and Gem
summary of the lore of Capenna below the cut unless it cuts me off earlier because I’m too rambly lol
the phyrexians, a race of machine monsters bent on conquering the multiverse that would take several hours to properly summarize the lore of so let’s just say they are bad, are attacking the plane of Capenna, so the arch-angels and arch-demons, fearing destruction, team up to create the city of New Capenna (wow guys such a creative name) with the help of the dragon Ziatora. The population of old Capenna (as in, everyone living on Capenna) journeys to the new city, those who make it onto the elevators surviving and the rest locked out as the city is sealed against phyrexians, left to die. Thus, the entire population of the plane now is in New Capenna. However, the demons and angels who build the city are worried because all it would take is for one phyrexian to make it into the city for it too infect everyone else. The demons took note of how the mere presence of the angels drove of the mechanical army, so they decided to betray the angels and capture them to turn them into a barrier surrounding the city. Because they were evenly matched in power, the demons had to sacrifice themselves to capture the angels, so they signed a contract with five powerful beings as their successors, making the individuals more powerful but also amplifying their vices, to lead the city in their stead. They then launched the attack, imprisoning the angels before vanishing, never to be seen again. The angels are trapped at various points along the edge of the city to form a barrier against the phyrexians. A side affects of this imprisonment sees the angels physical bodies being slowly converted into halo, the fuel of the new age. It makes magical spells more powerful, aids in teleportation, is used as currency, and…I’m not gonna lie guys, it’s drugs. It’s magical angel blood drugs. That is the function it serves. Moving on! The five beings who signed the contracts with the arch-demons were the dragon Ziatora (same one who helped build the city), the sphinx Raffine, the cat demon Jetmir, the vampire Anhelo, and the bird demon Falco Spara. The five found what are essentially demon mafia families. Ziatora runs the Riveteers, the hardworking destructive family, where every member needs to constantly prove their worth. The Riveteers have the largest stockpile of Halo because they helped build the city. Raffine runs the Obscura, mystical fortune tellers and prophets. They can predict the future and stuff. Jetmir runs the Cabaretti, the party-ers of New Capenna. They run the festivals and restaurants and do all the fun stuff. Also chef Rocco appreciation enby icon cabaretti chef and fabulous all around. anhelo runs the Maestros, the elite assassins of New Capenna. A bunch of them are also vampires so they’ve got this whole immortality thing going for them. They are also art collectors. Because you gotta have hobbies, ig. Falco Spara runs the Brokers, a mafia family of demonic lawyers. Yayyyy!/sarc. Anyway because this is getting long I’ll skip ahead so when the last free angel in the city dies that releases the arch-angels, but the families and the angels are forced to temporarily cooperate to fend off the phrexian invasion as they finally manage to infiltrate the city with the release of the angels. Yada yada yada, a bunch of stuff gets destroyed, a bunch of people die, and then they win and the angels go and kill the remaining demons as revenge. Hurrah, we made it! That was your super quick crash course on the history of New Capenna!
