Autistic Garnet
Read more »I personally believe that Gem neurology is as a rule similar to autistic neurology. But only Pearl is usually singled out as being autistic (and sometimes Peridot), which I find problematic because
1. they’re pretty damn pale as far as Gems go, and autism is HIGHLY underdiagnosed in people of color (though Pearl is coded as Asian, a lot of fans read her as white, which is also bad but another story for another time)
2. they’re the “prissiest”

This took much too long to finish and I am sorry for that. I hope it might be worth the wait though…
Rabbit sighed a curl of steam, pulling her legs closer to her chest as she watched the ducks swim around the lake at the Manor’s private cemetery. As she heard someone approach, she wiped the black oil from her cheeks in anger.

Read more »Officials assigned the trees ID numbers and email addresses in 2013 as part of a program designed to make it easier for citizens to report problems like dangerous branches. The “unintended but positive consequence,” as the chair of Melbourne’s Environment Portfolio, Councillor Arron Wood, put in an email, was that people did more than just report issues. They also wrote directly to the trees, which have received thousands of messages—everything from banal greetings and questions about current events to

thinking about robot butts because I am SPG trash
OKay. So I have this headcannon that Walter Robotics’ genuine robots have the WR emblem stamped on the left cheek of their -ah- ass plates.
And I’m thinking about this further and realised that you could line up the robo-asses and get a rough timeline of Walter Robotics emblems throughout 118 years
Rabbit, still having a majority of her original 1896 parts, would have a pre-WR emblem. Either a Victorian-style monograph of Pappy’s initials, or the my-headcannon-only Walter Mechanicals, which

Random number prompt - use a random number generator and redo a prompt from the first year of instants - do NOT read the first story before writing the new one.
[AN: The random number was 133: Anywhere in the story: “The element of surprise didn’t so much rest upon someone hearing you but registering the significance of your approach.” (I hope altering one word counts)]

“Not here, this coffee is piss,” a loud, gregarious voice answered, drawing the attention of everyone in the coffee shop to her.[1]
“Nanny!”
“What, it is!”
“Too full of itself also,” a third voice chimed in. “I asked for a small coffee and they told me I needed to ask for a ‘short’. What kind of nonsense is that?”
Magrat Garlick resisted, barely, the urge to put her

Alternate universe prompt: The X - Mares
[AN: Of course I instantly thought of MLP:FiM]
Things went very quickly bad when the entirety of Ponyville discovered that Fluttershy’s strange friend was stranger than they had believed possible.
His glowing eyes almost bugged out of his head. He smiled with sharp, sharp teeth. He vanished in a puff of sulphur. He didn’t have hooves. He had paws. And his tail… was more like a dragon’s than a pony’

Wild mass guessing and potential spoilers under the cut
OK, so Garnet’s relationships with Pearl and Amethyst are… on the very rocky side. To say the least.
What if Pearl and Amethyst bond over this? What if they start relating to each other and getting along etc?
What if… the next time they form Opal… she only has two arms?

Read more »Hello! My name’s Molly (pen name Marie Bellamont) and I created Jester’s Athenaeum. It’s an ongoing collection of short stories that can be read either individually or as a series. Some are black comedy, some are just silly parody-like humor, all are surreal fantasy. I post them online so that they can be accessed for free, but accept donations from those who are willing and able to pay what they think the stories are worth.
