*dies*

god loves you but not enough to save you

god loves you but not enough to save you

an untainted innocence

an untainted innocence

Houseki no Kuni, Chapter 107

thinking about how phos primarily befriended low level gems at the beginning … their connections with cinnabar and antarc felt deeper and closer because they were other low hardness gems . it feels like growing up queer and finally meeting another queer person and having a connection just through that shared experience. low level gems aren’t exactly discriminated against but they do operate at a much larger disadvantage than the higher level gems

if you’re a low hardness gem you can’t do things the other gems can, or if you do (like fight) you have to be careful, or do it in a way the others don’t (using an alloy as a shield and weapon). you have to be more vigilant about your own body and safety than the other gems do and it’s something they wouldn’t understand

at the same time, dia is the only higher level gem that cares about phos pre winter. and i think its bc they also feel “othered” in a way. they’re already under so much pressure to be just like bort, and diamonds are expected to be the best. it’s the same way that like, even if you have certain privileges that certainly give you a leg up in life, they can still come with their own problems

I did another roulette draw and it resulted in an outfit change between Misora and Roll Caskett. Further, I did a third spin of the wheel and am working on it.
