lapisss
idk how to feel about this drawing
â–º self indulgent au where the gems are human and some of the crystal gems is way older (in this instance. pearl)
â–ºShe's around 40+ with Jasper and Lapis being around their mid twenties.
â–º The ships are pearlapis and jaspearl which will eventually lead to jaspearlapis because i am greedy like that and they all should kiss and share
â–º The tree work at a bar/club. Lapis as a bartender, Jasper as a bouncer and Peridot as their manager
â–º They're waiting for their shift to end.
â–º Really its just a silly au i made to feed old woman pearl cravings...
â–º like she's so pretty -sobs-
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it- but its okay! I just really wanted to draw your au! It's so fun and your design of pearl is very pretty!! I love your au!!
Pearl
Pearl is also one of the main roles of au in messy human society.
She has a double job, in the morning she is a ballet instructor, in the evening she is a lesbian bar and lesbian nightclub dancer (? Working at night is just her hobby
She is a special exception among the dancers in lesbian nightclubs/bars. She can see whether she wants to work or not.
Regarding other things, she still likes rose, so she is a little resistant/disgusted with Lapis *Because Lapis likes Pearl because of Pearl's proud and confident personality and strong female temperament
Pearl is older than other *gems, almost 35+ years old
I want to start this by saying- I am NOT a writer. i SUCK at writing and grammar, and i really suck at illustrating very emotional stuff- which is why most of my aus is just cool concepts that would be fun to think about.
This wont be a story and more like my idea written down in a weird way- so it's bad and doesnt read like a fic- actually i have no idea how it reads ^^;; With that in mind. Love Bullet Cupid pearlapis/lapearl AU
(Also just putting this all in a single post because im new to posting in tmblr and im bad with pacing stuff -head in hands- ) ---------------------------------------------

Lapis got into an accident that shot her car off a cliff and into the cold ocean. Her actual death is the water that flooded her car and drowned her.
She woke up years later just at the edge of the water, her weapon already sitting by her side. With no guide she had to figure out stuff on her own.
--Stray Bullets --
Pearl was one of Lapis’s early Targets (this was before chapter 7+ where we learn about the Target Board)
Being emotionally inept Lapis had a hard time landing shots that lasted, often pairing up the wrong people and wasting bullets when it had no effect at all.
She stumbles into a pair (Rose and pearl)
Maybe they were childhood friends that just stuck together, or middle school buds that never split.
This time even Lapis could tell that Pearl has a special connection with Rose, especially with how much the peach blonde kept following her around.
So, thinking that this was a safe shot to take. Lapis aims her gun at Pearl who was looking at Rose and boom! ♥
Finally! a successful pair.
Before Lapis could celebrate the first red in her gun’s love gauge she notices another person arriving.Â
A chill going down her spine as she recognises the heart eyes in Rose's eyes that’s directed at Greg
Shit.
Did she just pair this girl with an already established couple?
Lapis lowers her gun as she stares at Pearl's back, watching the couple flirt.
Shit.
Lapis tries to brush it off, another whoopsie, who cares, she doesn't.
Or at least she shouldn't. But she couldn't wave away the guilt she felt for essentially fucking up this girl's life.
So while taking missions nearby (and messing them up) Lapis quietly follows Pearl's life, watching her burning love, her never ending yearning and the deep sadness that lingers her form. The merciless pain piercing through both of them.
(Parallel to my theory that Lapis has seen Pearl's memories when she was in the mirror and stored them in her gem.Â
Always there, watching but never able to do anything [ hearts in pearl's eyes never fading away ] )
Lapis sits on the balcony, elbow on her knee, chin in her hand, watching Pearl with half-lidded, awkward eyes. Pearl stares ahead, her expression a raw mix of love and pain as she looks at Rose.
Lapis watches as the years go by, horribly failing at her cupid missions; she neglects them in favor of following Pearl around. Watching everything.
Watching her confront Rose when she got pregnant
Watching her pain when Rose died during childbirth.
Watching her work hard to help Greg with raising Steven while constantly mourning her love, never ever getting over it as years goes by.
When Steven was 13 years old, a terrible accident happened.Â
Exhausted from years of overworking, Pearl lost her footing and fell down a large flight of stairs.
Lapis watches in silent horror as her target tumbles down, bump by bump, before ending with a bloom of red circling her head like a halo.
She died shortly.
-- Pearl --
Pearl remembers her body becoming cold, desolate and lonely.
She's tired, very tired, and sleep was beckoning her.
In the dark cold she recalls a wish
A wish to be loved.
Pearl wakes up in a pile of Rose petals, her hands brushes against a shotgun buried under the flowers.
And the first thing she sees is an angel perched on the stairs she fell from, crouched, messy hair with a rifle hanging from her shoulders.
The first thing she heard was a quiet chuckle.
"What a horrible way to die"Â Â
