Because Connies light ages...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.It is an interesting question: If you found out you were immortal, and could fuse with a mortal, would you try to convince someone you cared about to stay fused with you to share the immortality? Is Stevonnie wrong for wanting to stay fused?
"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawDid that comic make it appear that Stevonnie had a set personality? That's the only way that could happen.

Also it means more food for purple people eaters.

Its probably better to separate intentionally then to lose Connie like that.
Is an argument I could see. Otherwise its just being sad to be sad.

There's nothing bad about that. All life must end at some point if the world is to be a better place to live.

It's still an essential source of life, so I thought it counted. Guess not.
Also; oh, good. Because for a second there, I thought it was some sort of environmentalist tripe about how we're all ruining the planet, and that the only thing we can do now is just wipe ourselves out and let the planet resume its' natural course. But I guess that wasn't the case after all. (Or at least I hope it wasn't...)

Not really. What needs to happen is that cephalopods need to live longer in order to have more time to learn and build civilizations and become the masters of the ocean. But extended life in an organic body is kind of useless. We need to become robots. Robotic squids. In space.

Even the most extreme extremist couldn't possibly form a believable argument for why plants or water could anyway at all be ruining the planet.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Yeah, I think that's the reason why Steven and Connie can't just stay fused as Stevonnie forever. At least that way, he'll be able to let her go willingly, as opposed to after a disagreement or a battle. Especially if it's after a disagreement. It really sucks to have your last words to someone be a part of an argument.
When we're done, there won't be anything left.Think of two populations that start with 100 people:
- Every individual has two kids (i.e. every couple has four kids between them) every 30 years and no one ever dies or stops reproducing. This means the population will triple every 30 years.
- Population (x) function in years (y): x(y) = 100*3^(y/30)
- Population after 150 years: 100*3^5 = 24,300
- Every individual has two kids at the age of 15, then never again, and dies at the age of 60. Each generation is twice the age of the last, but only the last four generation would be around simultaneously.
- Population function after the first sixty years: x(y) = 100*(2^[y/15] - 2^[y/15-1] - 2^[y/15-2] -2^[y/15-3])
- Population after 150 years: 100*(2^10 - 2^9 - 2^8 -2^7) = 192,000
I'm surprised that they would be willing to stay fused for that long. In "Alone Together", Stevonnie eventually felt sad because, yeah, Steven and Connie were together, but they were still alone, and couldn't do things like share a donut. I guess a) they could get used to it and b) the fusion is more out of desperation to extend Connie's life, so that feeling of being "alone together" isn't as much of a concern.
I kind of wonder how okay Connie is with this in the comic. I mean, I guess she'd have to be pretty okay with it, since the fusion is still going, but it does raise an interesting question. Is it worth it if, to stay immortal, you can never really be yourself again?
When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Garnet's point is that it's going to happen eventually—though as Ruise said, that doesn't totally make sense.
The implication is Black Adam-style No Immortal Inertia: fusion is preventing Connie from dying of old age but she still ages while she's fused. But why would fusion prevent one but not the other?
