The Zircons were bubbled? Huh... I'm not terribly surprised about Defense Zircon getting bubbled, since it appears she started stumbling towards a truth Yellow Diamond didn't want out. Prosecution Zircon is a bit more of a surprise; I didn't know YD would be that zealous in keeping things under wraps.

Wait, where in the podcast did she say they got bubbled?

[up][up][up]Maybe not defensiveness but simple spite. Yellow Diamond has already been shown to be vindictive.

Why would Yellow Diamond have poofed them both if she was just going to let the prosecutor go afterward?

Wait, where in the podcast did she say they got bubbled?
That was a slight misquote. What Sugar actually said was "They're poofed, they're not shattered, but they're certainly not not in trouble."

It'd be a waste for YD to shatter any gems now since they're in a resource crisis. It'd be better to rehabilitate them.

[up]YD is willing to shatter a perfectly good planet, just because her sister died there (among other possible reasons).

Weird thought regarding fusions existing as a regular gem type, Stevonnie is obviously going to be the exception but if they really wanted to there's Stevensite

I don't think they'll have a gem type whose namesake is (so obviously) a real person or place, else they'd risk some really blatant Orphaned Etymology. Holly Blue Agate is already pushing it (and even in that was spelled differently).

Now that they're on better terms, I wonder if Lars will finally realize Steven was Tiger Millionaire.

Still no, though as I said previously, the podcast ending suggests it could be in the coming weeks.

Ack. Don't have much to say about Zuke's post other than I hope she's doing well now.

Ouch. 28 years of family abuse? Her aunt died and she couldn't even go to the funeral? sad

I sympathise with her & I love that little comic, and I don't even care about Steven Universe. I might even donate to her Patreon. [awesome]

Just as a head's up, Zuke is nonbinary, though they've said they're OK with any pronouns for now so you guys are still in the clear.

[up][up]Sorry, I misremembered something different about taking commissions.

(Also, I said "suspended", but a more precise term would be "put on hiatus").

@51681 Eh... I think that the argument that they wouldn't use a gem so obviously named after a location would have been stronger if you didn't then name a gem very blatantly named after a location (given that, in the real world, Holley blue agate really is only found near Holley, Oregon). For that matter, if naming a gem after a gem named after real people was verboten in Steven Universe, the fusion of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl would not be named Alexandrite. And while maybe not as prominent, nor would the Garnet/Amethyst fusion be named Sugilite (named after its discoverer, Dr. Ken-ichi Sugi).

This is why I've always ran with the headcanon that there are Translator Microbes involved - gems are just using their own names for them, and we're just hearing what they'd be translated as. Consequently, this does have me wondering if we'll one day run across a gem type that's based off of a theoretical real-world gemstone.
