#But do y’all remember the pay a lot stage#Because it was more like PAY A FUCKIN LOT#I remember the Christmas I got my first CD player boombox#My Dad bought me 5 cds and it was well over $100#Because remember when albums were on sale they were like 14.99 or 15.99#The average cost of a best selling popular album was like 17.99 18.99#And what’s happening is those fatcat CEOs that were making BANK off those sales#And they get mad at my generation for pirating#Bitch y’all weren’t about the music you were about the money#Like yeah we wrong#But y’all was wrong first

THESE TAGS THO TOO REAL

Project Hieroglyph

Guess what I just joined?

I figure it’s a good way to discuss Science Fiction in general, mine in particular, and how to step up my game without rebuilding my universe in the process.

Amalgam is optimistic. Humans made it off the planet. Humans managed to reach a point where their differences are interesting. In brief - black and white teamed up against green ;)

…it’s just that I have a horrible dystopia as the feature

I can’t art. It’s obvious.

Alas, I also lack the resources to purchase pro-level art for a book that will never pay me back.

My usual design consultant [aka best-beloved SO] is too busy to help me before the October 4 publication date.

So. Speaking as someone who lacks design skills to everyone who actually has them: What do I need to do to make this cover look cool?

My goal is simple, but slightly “off”

Challenge #00618 - A253: Anything That Can Go Wrong...

Farewell. Please say hello to Murphy when he clobbers you.

Those had been her last words to the human. They should have been the last words she ever spoke to the insane mammal.

Yet there it was. Hale and hearty. Enjoying a brew with the other Galactics in a seedy bar that also boasted Unsuitable Food on the menu.

“How?” she demanded. “How did you survive? I barely made it out of that melee with my hide intact!”

Challenge #00617 - A252: Stick to the Plan

“This is according to your plan?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of plan was that?”
“The plan was -Do not die.- All is still going according to plan… barely.”

“This is why,” raged Krel over the gunfire aimed in their general direction. “This is why I never get involved with humans!”

“Awright,” admitted Jude. “This is something of a tight spot.”

“TIGHT? We’re cornered

Challenge #00616 - A251: Adventuring with humans

Maybe, maybe not. After all his plan IS flawless after all.

He doesn’t have a plan at all so there can’t be any flaws in it.

“That’s a plan?” yawped the Princess. “How can the human’s plans possibly have a complete success rate?

"That’s the thing, it isn’t a plan,” explained Ax'and'l. “It’s more a succession of goals. You’ve heard the old

Challenge #00615 - A250: A Lesson For Humans

Don’t want to have people commenting your sudden bout of suicidal stupidy by taunting murphy?

How about not taunt murphy?

[AN: I did leave instructions on the Submissions box to only pick up to three tags. Otherwise I have to whittle your collection of tags down to three so I can add my own tags. Please remember this when picking tags for your prompts.]

Didn't gems need some time inside their gems to heal? Because what if those monsters are indeed infected with something that made them evil...

Yeah, that’s also a factor on how I joined the dots.

Obviously, the ‘poisoned’ Gems can’t rid themselves of the corruption on their own. They need an outside influence.

It’s starting to feel like Rose Quartz had a very Long Game plan for dealing with this.

But I still have to wonder - what corrupted the other Gems? How did they become monsters in the first place?

…or maybe I’m reading

Steven Universe brain fart

The episode Monster Buddies got me thinking.

During the transformation sequence where the gem transforms into Centipeedle, it briefly takes a humanoid form.

All the monsters have gems. So do the Crystal Gems.

Maybe… Maybe the monsters are Gems who got corrupted by evil forces. Rose Quartz was trying to heal them…

Steven may be the anti corruption force the corrupted Gems need.

The basics are that for every one female-speaking character in family-rated films (G, PG and PG-13), there are roughly three male characters; that crowd and group scenes in these films — live-action and animated — contain only 17 percent female characters; and that the ratio of male-female characters has been exactly the same since 1946. Throw in the hypersexualization of many of the female characters that are there, even in G-rated movies, and their lack of occupations and aspirations and you get the picture.

Challenge #00614 - A249: Explaining Business

Don’t worry. He comes up with crazy ideas, but they’re so crazy they actually work half the time.

“…hey!” said exhibit A, aka Hwell Barrow. “I’ll have you know I have a ninety-eight percent success rate.”

“It’s the two percent that bites my tail,” Ax'and'l managed through gritted teeth. “And we agreed that there would be no bickering in front of potential clients.”

“If we agreed
