what if GemCYT had a side rebel group?

I’ve been following the GemCYT au for a while now, and I love it. The designs are amazing, and the story is great. I saw a really cool idea by @snowydragon10 that basically said, “Yo, but what if DanTDM (who is Blue Diamond in the au by general consensus I guess??) ALSO rebelled, but instead of just faking his death and leaving like Lizzy (Pink Diamond) did, he was a double agent/mole of sorts. I’ve watched this goggle-wearing goof for about 4-6 years now, so I figured I’d expand a lot on this idea. I combined both possibilities they mentioned in a post. For starters, Blue/Dan didn’t become a good guy right away. It took quite a bit of convincing. There were two main things that led him to earth in the first place. Firstly, after the Corrupting Light/Diamond Blast attack, some foresight from one of his sapphires suggested Pink was still alive. Second, he’s the diamond that mainly focuses on technology and science. Several reports showed outbreaks of corruption in gems, and most of those planets were very close to earth. Believing earth was the main harbor of the corruption, grieving for his lost sister, and holding out on blind hope, he went down to earth alone in the form of a Larimar, a Lapis’s ice equivalent. He stumbled across the rebels who offered him protection, training, and hospitality in exchange to help these poor dystopian gems thrive and fight against the Diamond authority. He eventually became a rebel because he had a lot of things to disagree with when it came to white Diamond and how things were handled.

The team on Dan’s side so far consist of him as a Larimar, Justin/Thinknoodles as his pearl, a perfect lapis cut who dubbed himself IBallisticSquid due to the use of floating water tentacles, and ThxCya aka James, a mercenary against the corrupt gems who is a half-human, half- emerald himself. (Like Steven but way less OP and less MC energy.). The difference between Dan and Lizzys squads? Lizzys is much bigger, and both sides would live in different parts of the world entirely. Like snowy dragon said, two diamonds at once would cause a power imbalance. One team would be taking care of some arcs shown in SU, the other will deal with other arcs. (EX: Lizzys group/empires n stuff would have the sword training arc, Dan’s and other ogs would have the Human Zoo arc.)

Anyways enough rambling, here’s their basic designs that are subject to change because I’m indecisive. God I hope it actually comes up for everyone else actually visible.

GemCYT Sub-zero asks are open!

I’ve opened up asks about GemCYT! Any general asks about the AU will always be answered by me, and any questions about the characters may sometimes be answered by the characters themselves. I might even add a little doodle as a response.

with asks being open, here’s my criteria for them:

Nothing explicit. No NSFW/18+ asks or any of that. No exceptions. No gore either.

This is an ask box, not a request box. I’ll only fulfill any sort of request if someone asks how something in the au works or logic behind a concept, and even then I’ll most likely not draw it out and explain in text.

Do NOT spam if your question doesn’t get answered or really spam at all. You’ll be blocked.

No harassment of any sort against any group. Racist, sexist, ableist or homophobic/genderphobic asks will get you blocked.

I probably won’t be able to answer all questions, and even if I do, it could take from a few days to up to a month.

I might add more to the list depending on what happens, but that’s really it. Otherwise, ask away.

Blue Diamond/Larimar DanTDM doodles for your viewing pleasure

Synthetic red diamond by @cherrifire , they wouldn’t be in the same group but I felt it would be funny to make them interact

GEMCYT SUB ZERO FANS IM GONNA NEED YALL TO HEAR ME TF OUT

I’m just deciding if the origin should be dead wolf brought back to life like lion was or if it should be a fully corrupt gem (a calcite if you will) that just proofed around some wolf bones and said “screw it this is my bone suit now woof woof bark bark”

(if it were the latter, the corruption that would affect him would be a non-violent variant)
