Intriguing Impression Starters
“You don’t look like… much…”
“So nice to finally put a face to someone I’ve heard so much about.”
“You aren’t what I expected, but I hope to be surprised.”
“Well… this is awkward… uhhh hello.”
“I’m failing to remember what I expected when I signed up for this.”
“Not gonna lie, you were incredibly intimidating at first… still kind of are.”
“We seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot.”
“Seems that the rumors and reputation are indeed being lived up to.”
“So I’ve heard some things…”
“You were the LAST person I expected.”
“Sparring partner huh? I think I can take you.”
“Me? I’m not anyone particularly special.”
“Haven’t heard of you whatsoever.”
“I’ve known you for five minutes and I think we’re already friends.”
“You and me are gonna get along great.”
“This is absolutely not working out.”
“Clearly there needs to be some ground rules established.”
“You’re going to be my sparring partner?”
“You know what? I like you.”
“Not working out. Nope.”
“I’m sorry but looking at you doesn’t scream ‘fighter’ to me.”
“I really hope you can make a better second impression.”
“You get one more shot. I hope it will change my mind.”
“I’m here to apologize about before… can we try again?”
“Well this is certainly… incredibly interesting. Nice to meet you.”

✧ * ∗ ✧ ➵ @partcfyouruniverse​ asked: What are jasper’s feelings on petal?
Tumblr media
// Jasper would probably get shattered for Petal. She never thought she’d form another emotional connection that strong after Pink Diamond — but she finds herself more fond of Petal than she’d care to admit. 
// She’s happy to have someone who she can relate to, and someone she can full on fight with spar with, without it being too serious or them having problems with each other. She’s happy to have Petal as a friend & is impressed with how skilled a fighter Petal is ( for a pearl — though she tries her best not to fall back into Homeworld ideals. )

Jasper with Pink:  I’m just a jasper — I’m not all that special. Not that I would ever question you, My Diamond. Your judgement means the most to me. I’m humbled to even be in your presence. You’re so beautiful, please tell me that I’m perfect again.
Jasper with literally anybody else:  I’m fucking perfect, and you’re a pebble. Your opinion of me means nothing, because I am simply better than you, and you’re not my Diamond. Look at your exit hole — now look at mine. That’s what I fucking thought.

YELLOW PEARL. 
Tumblr media
“You are the prefect specimen of an earth gem, the Diamonds don’t care about you and I’m looking at you because you are somewhere you shouldn’t be without reason and all you did till now is standing around.” Her sarcasm clearly showing, Yellow even had to hold be a snarky laugh. How could a gem like this think that the Diamonds loved her? It was ridiculous. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❛ Listen here pearl — you mean just as much to the Diamond’s as I do, less, even, ❜   Jasper snapped, a GROWL building in her chest. Jasper was never fond of Pearl’s when they SPOKE — sure, they looked nice and all, but a chatty pearl was NEVER in Jasper’s favour.    ❛ I’ll have you know the Diamond’s do love me, especially My Diamond — Pink Diamond. I get it, you’ve never really felt the appreciation of a Diamond. But what do you expect ?  You’re a pearl. You’re disposable. And me ? — I’m not. They’ll never make another Jasper that emerged with the capabilities I have. ❜ 
Jasper knew she was being HARSH — but she didn’t care. She wasn’t here to make the pearl feel better about herself, ( not that a pearl’s feelings really mattered ).   ❛ I don’t report to you. While Pink Diamond is busy touring her colony, I’m here to report to Yellow Diamond about the status of the Prime Kindergarten. Some of the Amethysts have failed to emerge. ❜   the quartz scoffed, rolling her golden eyes.  
Tumblr media
 ❛ — not that it’s any of your business what I’m here for. ❜

❛ Let go of me, you — ! ❜  EXASPERATED, Jasper gave up on scolding the gem clinging TIGHTLY to her arm, letting the defensive nature of her natural posture go LIMP.  Sighing, golden eyes shifted to the bouncy pink gem,  a STRONG hand moving to PEEL AWAY the gloved fingers wrapped around her bicep.

How to RP IC Conflict without causing OOC Conflict
4 Steps in Rping conflict-centered scenarios without incuring conflict with your partners.
Conflict. One of the big ingredients to great stories and sometimes really bad rp experiences.
In-Character conflicts can be a lot of fun to engage in but they can also be a hot bed for god-modding, power plays, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings. This is often caused by miscommunications and boundary crossing in rps, which leads to hurt feelings and bad responses from both rp partners and portions of the rp community at large.
So to help prevent bad conflict situations and make a smoother rp experience for both you and your partners, here are some pro tips.
( 1 ). IM/Ask/Chat OOC with the partner you want to rp with BEFORE you initiate the conflict.
Yes, it can be scary IMing someone about things but you need to make sure your partner is okay with what you have in mind. Because if they aren’t okay with it, they will try to turn things toward things they are more okay with. This is doubly so for those who don’t know what you have in mind and whose interactions will more likely end in bitter, sour, or unfulfilling ways.
( 2 ). Plot the conflict out.
After IMing your partner and confirming that they are up for doing the RP conflict, plot it out. Decide how it ends, who will be hurt, and what will happen. You don’t need to plot it out post by post, but you do need to have plot points to measure things by so that you know in what direction you both are going.
This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT when dealing with OP/High Powered/Boss-level characters (Especially canon-based Boss characters).
All of us want to win or at least don’t want to lose, and nobody likes feeling like the continual punching bag. But we also don’t want our muses skills, abilities, and experience to be completely disregarded. Having a white-belt karate kid defeating a black-belt karate master without the master’s consent isn’t fun.
By plotting things out, you and your partner can determine your characters’ strengths and weaknesses and how they would be able to match up and make things fun without stepping on each other’s canon/character aspects.
Example: 
Conflict: Bonely faces off with Lancelot. Desired end: Bonely bests Lancelot but doesn’t kill him and leaves him with points to think about instead. Thread plot point ideas:
P1 wants Bonely to lead Lance & his crew into the forest.
P2  agrees so Lance will follow & get ambushed.
P1 suggests that Bonely use the trees to swing himself around into the knights like a pinball (bc that would be funny).
P2 likes the idea of it but doesn’t want Lancelot to be hit. P2 says so and offers that Lance is very limber so he’d be able to dodge even if others can’t.
P1 agrees and has an idea: what if Lance gets an idea of Bonely’s pattern and uses a thing to break his rolling attack? Just knock over a big log and send him flying?
P2 loves it and adds that the two could tussle it out since Bonely’s not a big troll and Lance is beef-cake central.
P1 laughs and thinks on how the fight would go. With them tussling they’d be an even match. But Bonely is underhanded so he’d probably use a cheap shot like throwing dirt in Lances face before pinning him.
P2 likes the idea and sees how it would make Lance have an even bigger vendetta towards Bonely for later threads. P2 also notes that Lance would probably be mad and accuse Bonely of foul play.
P1 returns to the original idea of Bonely pinning Lance and instead of killing him, leaving him with things to think before retreating into the wood until their next encounter.
 All of these are interchangeable and editable, giving freedom to the rpers to because the end point is always the same, helping unify and smooth their rp experience.
By using plot points/plot bunnies, you and your partner are able to determine what you both want in and out of the conflict. What skills or cool moves you want to show off, what effects you want to happen to your characters, pretty much what you want out of the fight.
As you do this though, be sure not to make your character invulnerable or unhittable unless something to counter it is already plotted between you and your partner. Because being in a fight where one party always hits or misses is not fun and is a very susceptible to becoming a point of contention and ruining the experience for everyone.
( 3 ). Leave your characters attacks open.
Write down the effects of if it hit, not when it hit. That way your partner can decide if their character is hit or dodges the move. This helps the other rper know what would happen if it hit without their character being godmodded.
Example: Lancelot blew a lock of his hair out of his face and raised the crossbow. With Merlin’s Zapon magic filling each bolt, just one shot would send even the toughest the troll into a fit of electrified paralysis. With a squinted eye, the knight pulled the trigger and let loose the bolt.
This type of rp response allows the other Rper know what will happen if they’re hit and decide if it would be more fun to be hit or dodge, and determine what would happen next
( 4 ). Keep in contact with your partner.
Whether for plot bunnies or letting them know something is wrong and might need changing, keep in contact with your partner. Doing this will help you and your partner tie up loose ends, smooth out plot points, and keep the conflict rp running smoothly for both you and your rp partners.
Don’t forget: if something IC is making you uncomfortable, tell your partner and try to work it out. If you can’t work it out, don’t feel bad for dropping the rp and doing some retcon work so things can be a bit more comfortable for you.
By following these tips, I hope you will have less fear and uncertainty with conflict rps, and that you and your partners will have an amazing experience exploring this side of the RPC!

❛ I don’t know. ❜ the quartz mumbled, pondering over her words. Jasper was unsure if her choice would be CONTROVERSIAL. Say yes: the Crystal Gems may be uncomfortable. Say no: her relationship friendship with Pearl may falter. All she wanted was someone to STAY, to WANT HER AROUND. It felt ... 
                                                                          ... out of her reach. 
Grunting, Jasper averted her golden gaze from the pearl before her. Hugging herself, a large hand GRIPPED her opposite arm, it was hard to look the other in the eye —EMBARRASSING, even.

aesthetics for the entities, part ii.   bold what applies to your muse, italics what applies situationally or only in certain verses. rest of the fears here.  this is based on a horror podcast;  potentially triggering and / or upsetting content ahead!
viii.  the hunt.   sharp canines.  sore calves after a run.  the scent of blood.  an adventure for the journey’s sake.  the adrenaline right before the kill.   a whistle’s echo.  the woods.  the doe eyes of a prey animal.  your own breath in the air.  sharpened claws.  being tracked.  fear of someone knowing your every movement.  hunting down monsters.  hide and seek.  running away only to end up where you started.  staying alive purely because the enemy enjoys seeing you run.  a set of footsteps behind you.  blood dripping from bare hands.  barks and growls.  focused eyes.  a victim going limp under your hands.  a mouth full of fresh blood.  catching the scent of something monstorous.  perfecting your craft.  peering into the dark and running after it.
ix.  the lonely.   an apartment too small for a double bed.  completely vacant streets.  waking up to see everyone gone.  fog.  point nemo.  a house too big to hear your family members in.  alone in a faceless crowd.  a mask with nothing behind it.  separated cubicles.  a deafening silence where joy should be.  a blinding spotlight.  the least missed in your friend group.  streets without lights in the windows.  isolation.  not truly knowing your friends.  your friends not truly knowing you.  need for silence.  fear of crowds.  staring into space knowing nothing is looking back at you.  a ship alone at sea.  depression.  knowing your friends are better off without you.  talking to someone only to realize they’re gone.  a family too large to notice you there.  safety in being alone.
x.  the slaughter.    a game of tag.   senseless violence.  a true crime hobby.  improvised weapons.  blinding rage.  intent to kill.  a horrific day in a quiet community.  a medal of bravery.  holding on to what validates your anger.  history books that spare no details.  an injury you want revenge for.  war.  counting kills.  songs of soldiers.  a knifeblock on the counter.  a pool of blood.  shellshock.  unspeakable horrors.  anger pushing you forward.  unimaginable pain.  not seeing who will hurt you but knowing the pain is coming.  a fully human monster.  an authority sending its lessers to their deaths.  kill or be killed.  unedited wartime memoirs.  a weapons collection.  not knowing the names of who you kill.  too many to remember.  loss of hope.  there’s no heroes in war.
xi.  the spiral.   sleep deprivation.  corridors you can get lost in.  maze puzzles that loop back on themselves.  losing possessions.  losing people.  losing your sanity.  corkscew curls.  rows of funhouse mirrors.  optical illusions.  a separate reality.  walking through the wrong door.  delusions.  not knowing what your hands are doing.  blank spaces in documents.  hallucinations.  wrong proportions.  a nameless thing.  a place that has never existed.  doubting your own mind.  blind faith.  losing track of names, labels, categories.  distorted sound.  an imperfection in a glass that twists the view.  loss of time.  a garish colour.  doors that open to nowhere.  lies.  an unnatural laugh.  jokes and tricks.  illusions.  a doorway.  a sculptor with a wild imagination.  limbs in impossible angles.  doing what’s fun, not what’s sensible.  fractals you can get lost in.
xii.  the stranger.   wax figures.  a close approximation of a human face.  a borrowed appearance.  a strange smell.  glass eyes.  furs and pelts.  a dance.  a song of a choir.  the uncanny valley.  stitching yourself together.  the colours of a circus.  a puppet with no strings.  mannequins.  glitter and sequin.  a stranger you’ve always known.  someone strange in the place of someone you knew.  stolen identities.  stolen skins.  a machine imitating humanity.  the anonymity of a service worker.  hiding in plain sight.  uncomfortable to look at.  a faked accent.  concealing.  forgetting who you are.  forgetting who others are.  a replacement no one notices.  images that look posed.  the only one seeing the false face of someone.
xiii.  the vast.   open spaces.  carnival rides going up and down.  fear of heights.  endless infinity around you.  your insignificance in a universe.  stomach turning at a drop.  fear of not the crash down but the moment you slip.  the sway of a cable car.  an adventure holiday.  losing track of where the surface is.  miles and miles of nothing around you.  staring at the sky and feeling like you may fall into it.  loss of control.  a fall that doesn’t end in death.  glass floor to the view below.  terminal velocity.  the sound of wind in your ears.  a reach over the railing.  a jump from the top of the building.  falling into nothing.  feeling your feet let go of the ground.  a leap of faith.  motion sickness.
xiv.  the web.   undecipherable code.  a puppeteer holding the strings.  power over the weak-willed.  strings of fate.  manipulation.  an arranged accident.  a hundred minions doing your bidding.  cobwebs.  spiders.  a laid trap.  never voicing discomfort.  outwitting a cheater.  doing things without realizing it.  red string across a corkboard.  finding something lost where you were sure you checked.  power over the unreliability of chance.  watching others dance for you.  an entangled death.  a thousand tiny legs and fangs.  shady forum threads.  something important gone missing.  suspiciously disregarded case.  a missing witness.  connections.  the world wide web.  power of victimhood.  gullibility.  no control over your own decisions.  an invisible leash.  mass psychology.  a horror film in the making.  scapegoat.  never remembering to ask for a name.
+  the extinction.   the end of an era.  apocalypse movies.  the alarms of warning systems.  a desolate landscape.  end of the world cults.  nihilism.  the last written history.  a changed world.  no survivours.  old prophecies.  a thousand predicted ends.  a new chapter.  an end with no escape.  catastrophes.  a calendar counting down.  breaking point.  overindulgence.
