We know that the 4-pointed diamond isn't for the four Diamonds because each kept a personal 4-pointed diamond symbol (of distinct color) even as their combined symbol switched from four color blocks to three.
Wouldn't that just be because if they used 3 colors on a 4 pointed symbol, one of the colors in the diamond shape would take up more space than the rest, implying they have more authority than the other 2? So they changed the symbol to 3 triangles instead.

I remember that as a kid I read a birthstone chart and seeing that my birthstone was Opal, but I was born in August and every chart I look at now always says my birthstone is Peridot, so I don't know what I read that made me think it was Opal.

I overall like the Pearlapis figure skater but wonder why she's got that weird face thing. That's only been seen on really complex fusions so far.

Just Alexandrite...because it's a 4 combination...and it's Amethyst.

@33805: Apparently gems have sweat glands. Ehh, makes just as much sense as everything else about gems, like crying.

Is Amethyst's voice raspy enough to accurately be described as a Tomboyish Voice? That trope just launched and I'm trying to think of some examples to make some wicks.

Raspy = Tomboyish voice? I'm wasn't aware that was a thing, but...a lot of boys with fem VAs tend to have raspy voices if that counts for something.

Yeah, Amy's voices is actually quite raspy. Is that ever really exaggerated?

Huh, I never noticed this subtle example of Bookends before.

Also, seeing Abrams/Mitroff and Zuke/Florido designs right next to each other is pretty jarring.

How's that Bookends exactly? It's barely even a similar shot.

Those last few pages of discussion is what happens when you try too hard to apply logic to a cartoon. A show should have some logic and fact to it, but not so much that it leads to a semantics argument in attempt to clarify something in the show. It's a classic Watsonian Versus Doylist argument. You could argue for days about the Gems' biology, or whether or not the Gems really are female or not, or how Rose created (or became) Steven, or if Steven is or isn't a girl. At the end of the day, however, the show's creators just wanted to make a show about a group of tough alien fighters that look human and female enough that kids would see them has humanoid women. And to have as its star a boy who's just very in touch with his feminine side. You should never go deeper with a story than the creator has. I'm pretty sure Sugar herself couldn't explain the science behind the Gems. I mean, the MST 3 K Mantra exists for a reason.

Personally I think that going deeper than the author is a sign of enjoying the show properly.
