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.

FIRST ART FOR A REALLY SELF INDULGENT NEW SHADY OAKS AU, GO!
@sweetest-honeybee and I were talking about starting a monster/hybrid au for Shady Oaks SMP, and she gave me the idea to have Dan be a Gargoyle, so kudos to Bee! (Even better bc gargoyles originate from England I think.)
No writing version:
I don’t think the wings are to-scale, but it’s aiight.
Also my original inspiration for this au comes from @bluegiragi COD monster 141 au. Only go check it out if you’re 18+ though, it does have adult content. (Learned that the hard way but a great au nonetheless 😅)
HOLY HELL MAN THAT LOOKS AMAZING TYYY
ooo you wanna draw @fallingstarsandthemoon gargoyle!tdm from their monster oaks au so bad ooooo
uhh simple becuz im focusing on artfight drawings rn srry,, @fallingstarsandthemoon
Cookie Run x MCYT AU-ANCIENTS, anybody?
Feel free to send in asks and requests for this AU alongside my other AUs! Fanart is welcomed WITH CREDIT!
This is a little creative project I’ve been working on for a couple months now, (I usually draw faster than that, but procrastination is a bitch and some of these were hard to design due to it being a stark contrast from the usual style I have,) but I’m proud I got the ancients out of the way, whom I decided would be OG MCYTs. Here are their mock in-game descriptions:
Diamond Cookie (DanTDM)- Perseverance:
In a dark, yet lively, effervescent cave leagues below the surface, a radiant diamond cluster, naturally forged by the thickest molten sugar and pressure to withstand almost anything, surfaced within the cave. Little did it know that it would become the main ingredient to a legend. Diamond Cookie sticks true to his resistant and valuable ingredients as well as the Soul Jam of Perseverance, believing if something isn’t working out, try, try again. As a past scientist, engineer, adventurer, and now a hero, he’s had several mishaps and failures over the years, but he still picks himself up again and keeps moving, seeking to help inspire others to push forward and make something new out of the broken and old.
Even if he or everything he’s ever loved is crumbling around him, he’ll fight to the bitter end.
Berry Soda Cookie (LDshadowlady)- Empathy:
Among the shimmering sands, the vibrant coral reefs, and the open blue, there lives a guardian and a master of the waves and tides, wielding a glittering trident and the Soul Jam of Empathy. Berry Soda Cookie, baked with a myriad of berries and having lived on both land and sea, she has a vast understanding of other’s distress and feelings. If there’s worry or a change in the usual nature of her domain, she’ll be the first to know about it. She loves getting to know about every perspective and lifestyle she can. She has eyes all over the ocean wherever the light touches, from the shallows to the deep blue, and tends to act as a mediator in most situations. She’ll do everything she can to keep a stable balance. That is, until that fateful day that caused her to retreat into the darkest depths of the sea.
Will her soul ever see the light once more?
Golden Cream Cookie (Stampy)-Compassion:
Baked with the sweetest and richest of merengue and cream, Golden Cream Cookie has a compassionate spirit for his denizens like no other, hence his Soul Jam. While he can’t exactly read minds, he always does his best to help those in distress. After all, his kingdom among the plains and forest is known for their bustling trade of goods and services. Despite being a king, he’ll help those communities in even the lowest of classes. He does have a tendency to overwork himself or sometimes misinterpret the cookies’ needs, but it doesn’t change the fact that he has a heart of gold. He promotes mutualism and color in life and strives for himself and others to leave Earthbread better than they came. He forgives many for their wrongdoings and does his best to guide them to fix it.
Even so, there’s always the hard truth to face that he can’t help or forgive everyone.
Cherry Choco Cookie (Captain Sparklez)- Harmony:
There stands a calm, solid, rhythmic presence at the center of the Chocolate Citadel. With a rose golden crown adorning his head and his Charred Cherryblade by his side, Cherry Choco Cookie firmly believes there’s harmony and unity in all things, hence his Soul Jam of Harmony. Where there’s chaos? There’s order. Where there’s death, life is sure to come in its steed. He was baked with the sweetest cherries and the most bitter cacao after all. In a way, it’s a miracle how he worked his way up from being just some bard to an expert swordsman and a king. He’s a soul of few words, but he means well, and he’s just as musically inclined as most of his kingdom.
Where has this sovereign of harmony gone? What has he seen?
Pure Iris Cookie (Aphmau) - Creativity:
There’s nobody who understands the diversity of talent more than the bold and energetic Pure Iris Cookie. Born from the petals of a perfect iris at the rebirth of summer, she started out as a simple mage who encouraged cookies to forge their own paths. She believes everyone has something they’re good at, no matter how common or rare, and that anything can be made into something special. No wonder her garden kingdom was a capital of the arts in Crispia. All cookies have to do is find their spark, which can be easier said than done at times, but the end result is what matters. She’d give anything to get the same glory of her old kingdom back… whether it be the petal feathers off her back or her own life…
She won’t fail them again. Over her crumbled dough and withered petals.
Some mock neutral sprites for Diamond Cookie in the au’s story mode.
Similar to Pure Vanilla Cookie in the base game, Diamond Cookie lost his memories during the Dark Flour War. The shattering of his Soul Jam caused most of the rock candy in his hair to just straight disappear and turn to a darker blue cream. The rock candy is still in his dough, however.
He’s now a simple village tinkerer, scientist, and adventurer post-war, and remembers absolutely nothing before he was found by the people of the village, which is nestled among the mountains and not too far from the ruins of his old kingdom. His new name is Blue Glass Cookie, due to the villagers mistaking the last bit of Diamond Candy in his hair for blue sugar glass. They tend to think he’s more fragile than he actually is (which is not at all.)
Now it’s the Light of Perseverance’s job to get his memories back and make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid in the process.
Currently making sprites like these and Ancients decors whilst I curbstomp artblock in a subway.
