** Initially, the show seemingly implies that the shards of a shattered Gem are mindless when they do form, attacking whatever they can detect in their vicinity or at the very least squirming about. One Gem also says that they don't know what's happening around them or what they're doing, only seeking their gemstone's missing fragments, further implying they operate on such a low cognitive level that they might as well be unthinking monsters. And then the ''opposite'' occurs; the Cluster, composed of billions of such shards, shows a limited but still apparent sense of self-awareness, with not much if anything at all to rule out the much smaller "fusions" being as aware, and that's on top of a likewise established and even upheld fact that ''Gems are aware when they're in pieces''. This does not provide much relief; rather, it highlights the terrifying prospect of being in a reduced and agonizing state and still having a core functional enough to ''know'' it's suffering instead of being too broken to realize it's broken to begin with.

* Malachite is most certainly nightmare fuel for three very good reasons. First, let's start with her appearance: [[BodyHorror She has four eyes, a pair of fangs, and four extra arms on her body that act as her legs.]] And she's freaking HUGE, about as big as ''Alexandrite.'' Second, two seriously unbalanced minds combined into one deformed but extremely powerful body that outclasses Alexandrite in direct combat. Though at range or when destabilized by emotional conflict, still beatable. Third, Malachite is not just a mix of Jasper and Lapis, in theory she is an entirely new individual who's existence is made up entirely of unending emotional turmoil and self-destructive behavior. Even for a show that engages in some of the heaviest nightmare fuel intended for children, that implication is very, very dark.

And even if you do everything right, follow every order you're given and remain loyal to Homeworld? You are ''still'' expendable, and you can still be shattered or worse, as shown by the fates of Lapis and the Gem monsters on Earth.

From the moment you emerge from the ground, you have to do the job you were made to do for the rest of your life, whether you like it or not. You're immortal, so you better get used to that job, because you're gonna be doing it for a long, long time. The smallest misstep misstep, transgression, or transgression [[YouHaveFailedMe failure]] can be grounds for your superiors deciding to [[AndIMustScream shatter you]]. You can never, ever take a different job, for fear of being shattered. You can never, ever step out of line, for fear of being shattered. Exploring your identity? [[IndividualityIsIllegal Becoming an individual? Thinking for yourself?]] Forming a relationship with another Gem? Thinking about anything other than serving Homeworld and your Diamond? You can forget it. Fusion, a symbol of an intimate bond between Gems, is forbidden except for utilitarian purposes, and fusing with a different type of Gem for any reason--even accidentally--is grounds for being shattered. And even if you do everything right, obey your superiors' every order, and remain loyal to Homeworld? You're ''still'' expendable, and you can still be shattered or worse, as shown by the fates of Lapis and the Gem monsters on Earth. And all of the above is assuming you weren't born with a defect and forced to flee to the underground catacombs, to live your whole life in fear of being shattered on sight. No wonder Rose and the Crystal Gems rebelled--because ''this'' was the alternative: thousands of years of joyless servitude with the threat of a FateWorseThanDeath hanging over your head, every single day.
