The Trial by Franz Kafka
----------------
An adaptation, of the intro at least of Kafkas novel The Trial, done for a class where we are... well reading Kafka!!
Might refine it more but I’m tired and I need to type stuff for it!
An unwashed petri dish that grows headcannons like penicillin.
It be a draw of the two Zircons I did /)*^*/) (GZ was supposed to be looking down at BZ but o well I can't change it now) Time lapse of drawing & coloring coming next
Here be the time lapse /)*^*/)
The Steven Universe fandom is dense af - The Series
I can give you so many reasons why considering past events but here’s one that just popped up- everyone somehow believing Yellow Diamond shattered Pink Diamond. First of all, I want to smash my head against a door. Second, the writers of the show made it clear that the YD had nothing to do with it. (If the diamonds end up having something to do with it then shit come back and roast me but I’d blame the crewniverse for their bad writing.) Any who, one of the first and only evidence you need for this is YDs actions in “What’s the Use of Feeling Blue?”. By the end of the song, the writers had the intent to establish her grieving and feelings for Pink were still enact, she just presents them differently. Y'all are over here acting like that never existed and now you’re saying how she was in denial of everything Blue Zircon was saying. Of course she was, but not in the way you think. She was in denial because she has her heart (gem?) SET on believing Rose Quartz did it. (For goodness sakes they bubbled all the RQs and she wanted to execute her immediately out of hatred and confidence that it was her) The truth is, NON of the diamonds were there at the scene, which was highly implied several times. That’s why they were so shocked when Zircon started saying all those things. Yellow Diamond didn’t want to believe anything else. She poofed her because Zircon accused a Diamond of killing another Diamond, that would make anyone angry…. Here’s the part that makes me mad at the fandom for the lack of acknowlegment: the recess scene and the ENTIRE fact that Steven is not Rose. I broke it down 👍. Steven doesn’t know how it happened because he is not Rose Quartz. Homeworld believes he is, but is shapeshifted. He told Zircon he did not know how it happened. Once again, he is NOT ROSE so he could never know. This lead to Zircon DOING HER JOB. She was nervous the entire episode for defending the guilty. THIS IS HOW SHE MADE LEEWAY. She had something to defend now. Does her argument make sense? Of course. But it implies something else. Something totally different that has NOTHING to do with YD. (In fact, maybe the writers even knew the fandom would fall for this although I can’t understand why literally the theory makes no sense.) It’s foreshadowing something. My take on it is pretty simple, I have a few theories but here’s an interesting one– the one who shattered PD was her Pearl? Think about it… She was close to her. She was allowed to be around her 24/7. No one would have saw it coming. Maybe it was even our Pearl, and that’s why she hates shapeshifting so much, as someone once theorized. I mean it still could be Rose but it’s now implied they had to do something evasive to shatter Pink, let’s not leave this possibility out.
Anyone could have shapeshifted into Rose, by request.
Hell it could’ve been another Rose Quartz and we’d never know.
Whoever did it, was part of the rebellion but was not noticed at that time or place. One fact remains: All fingers are pointing to a figure shaped like a Rose Quartz.
It wouldn’t add up if YD did it because so many people saw Rose do it. Eyeball even stated it herself. The gems acknowledge Rose did it. Either they know something we don’t ,OR maybe they are in the dark along with us…Rose kept many secrets.
(Who really knows at this point the only reason why I made this is to show you that it could never be YD. Bye y'all)
K. now knew perfectly well that it should have been his duty, as the knife was passed from hand to hand over him, to take hold of it and plunge it into himself. He could not bring himself to do it.

Steven Universe Color Correction!
I was doing some screenshot edits when I had a brainfart and decided to find out the colors of the zircons and the wormy boi.
Basic Tutorial
There are a number of different types of blending modes for layers, as many of you undoubtedly know. Most screenshots from SU that are worth editing seem to have a darker shade, similar to a multiply layer.
Anyone who passed 5th grade math knows that the opposite of multiply is divide, which also happens to be a blending mode.
So, the method I used to correct my colors goes as follows:
Load your screenshot into your art program
Add a new layer and set the blending mode to divide. Hide this layer for now.
Find something on the screenshot that would be white under normal lighting. Eyes, teeth and the like.
Use the eydropper tool to copy the color on one of these areas.
Make the divide layer visible, and use the bucket/fill tool to fill the layer with the color you copied.
Tada! You should now have an edited screenshot with accurate colors.
Actual Theories
Remember when the biggest controversy in the fandom was if the prosecuting Zircon was yellow or green? Simpler times. Anywho: I used the same method, and...
Why yellow there.
I cross checked this with other people's edits, and it seemed pretty consistent. She yello!
I decided to do the defending Zircon just for fun:
So, next bit: Wormy Boi.
@novantinuum made an interesting post about the similarities in scenery and lighting between the Wormy Boi's title sequence appearance and a number of scenes in the most recent trailer. I sampled the color from the trailer, put it on the title sequence, and well... the results speak for themselves.
This is how a trailer scene looked before it was fixed:
This is how a trailer scene looks when fixed:
And the Worm?
Yup.
Please tell me if there is any way to improve my method!
Also, I’m working on the high school AU thing.
