Elementary gems.

The "What?" moment in "Message Received" was a change in methods, but her motive all along was to protect and stay with Steven. She just assumed that YD didn't know the situation on the ground so one message would all it would take to save the Earth. Steven also wasn't listening to Peridot, but he's just a kid.

Poor Perry-dottle, that's not how you crush.

You don't write your crush love letters, you write nice love poems for everyone excluding your crush.

Now that Connie is no longer looking at Steven through rose colored lenses she can see that he's better off with his own kind. Ergo she doesn't even show up for the previews.

...But...

Rose's healing powers only work on crystal lifeforms or on items that are transformed into crystal tech. So Connie herself is a crystal monster and no longer purely an organic lifeform. Note how she takes much harder blows since her transformation without getting all scuffed up.

Lapis attacks and almost drowns him

Pearl couldn't do anything, she was too busy fighting her evil water self. Don't blame that on her.

Also, that reminds me, i REALLY hope that once Connie meets Lapis, she responses by drawing a sword and then points out that Lapis TRIED TO DROWN HER. If that doesn't happen i will be very disappointed with the Crewiverse. Not as much as i will if the Diamonds get away with no punishment for their crimes, thou.

[up] That wasn't about blaming Pearl, that was about Lapis' own lack of concern for Steven's well-being.

And I think that assumes that Steven won't have told Connie about Lapis beforehand, which he could easily do. Their first meeting would probably be awkward, yes, but I don't think she necessary needs to start pointing swords at people.

Oh God! Natural light!

She won't "point" swords at people.

She'll just always be in defense stance...with a bat.

Maybe she'll be reflexively defensive for moment, like Steven was with holo-Pearl in Sworn to th Sword. It'd make a really nice Call-Back moment.

I saw that "Elementary Gems" on tumblr. I know it comes from some other text post, but they really should have added "you clod!" to the end of that letter. evil grin

Is this some Tumblr thing? Because that's never been implied in the show.

That "elementary gems" pic reminds me of an AU fic I've been thinking of. It'd be focusing on Amethyst and Peridot's relationship from their first meeting as little ones to adulthood. Of course, it'd be humanized.

I'm actually inclined to believe that Steven didn't really lose his healing powers, just that it only works on living things. Gems and their gems are alive enough to be healed. Warp pads and Geodes that imprison everlasting storms? Not so much.

Yeah, but then the guide to crystal gems handbook has Steven say, "I think I get psyched out... Maybe it only works on living things? I'm not sure".

There's no "yeah, but"...it's Word of God, mang.

That's put there to enforce the opposite thoughts.

I bet you stevens healing powers are going to come back once he starts to cry over the body of one of his best friends, probably lapis, or peridot, i don't think connie cause it would be too predictable if it was the love interest.

[up][up] Flip-Flop of God is a thing that happens, She could always be assuming a different character interpretation that turns out not to be true later. She's a storyboard artist after all, not exactly one of the writers like Matt or anything.

Connie is a human girl in the exact same sense that that watermelon Stevens tribe are watermelons. We have met the Cluster and it is Steven.

Greg is of course just another victim. Note that in "Great" Peridot's map showed lat and long of Steven's place but no depth display.
