note: im going to make icons of them from the anime since they look older compared to the manga artstyle so please bear with me for now! also catch me using either he/him or they/them bc what are pronouns when they're just rocks

au changes

💎 oh god this is getting a bit of a major rehaul bc of rock fam but all y'all need to know for now is that dia won't have a dog phobia anymore bc their family keeps a lot of dogs. there's so many dogs. they love all of them but at the same time please help
💎 full name change bc of obvious reasons... still not sure if they're going as either diantha (to make it more consistent with their real name) or something completely different like lucian. either way their surname would now be stone for triple irony!!
