She said she couldn't concentrate...and Amethyst said she was freakin' out.

As opposed to tech that simply does that without needing metal powers to work?
Which we know they have, because all of their machines have Floating Limbs or move around by levitating with no visible means of propulsion.

Magnets...that's all the explanation needed for anything not Peridot related.

How exactly would a Peridot control those floating fingers...with motion controls or whatever, that's complicated biz.

Remember that thing on the ship that Pearl stuck her hand into? Homeworld has controls that interface directly with a gem's mind/will.

I'd assume that's kinda different considering what it did to Pearl's and P-dot's eyes.

Assuming the metal-bending is Peridot's weapon (as Lapis' Waterbending), then I doubt it is expected: most Gems do not appear to have weapons.

Please let the gems learn martial arts moves.

I'm glad to see Stevonnie back, I missed them.

They already know martial arts, except maybe Amethyst.

Pearl doesn't like the feeling of food moving through her body. Pretty sure reformatting her entire body would produce some kind of panic attack.

[up]Those don't seem very similar to me. She didn't find reforming after being poofed traumatic at all.

Reformatting, as in...training in martial arts? I don't think Pearl minds training to fight like at all.

edit: Oh, as in shapeshifting.

Feeling mush move through you and shape-shifting wouldn't invoke the same feeling.

Just saying, since she doesn't like how food feels when it moves through her digestive system, she probably isn't going to like changing the shape of her digestive system to match that of whatever she'd be shapeshifting into.

The fact that she (allegedly) has a digestive system though.

Well, I imagine if you can feel every part of your body move and flow, you'd feel a bit weirded out by the human experience too.

Of course, if you're Amethyst,it just makes you a sense freak.

They don't naturally have digestive systems...they don't have organs at all.

They would have to actually form those inside their bodies...just like how Rosey formed a womb to have Stephen.

Doesn't Pearl supposedly have one though? I don't have sauce so I'm not sure myself.

No, Garnet is the one who supposedly likes food. Pearl's always hated it.

Oh really when?

I'm not sure if they formed their organ systems with shapeshifting or reforming.

That cut scene from "Log Date 7 15 2" had Amethyst tell Peridot she had to make it with shapeshifting, but it's clearly not canon because Peridot is able to (that's probably one reason it was cut).

[up]All the Crystal Gems are able to eat food because, according to Guide to the Crystal Gems they gave themselves the proper organs by Rose's suggestion. Pearl still doesn't like to eat.

Just saying that if she is grossed out by food moving around in her, stretching and warping her body would be at least an order of magnitude worse.

She tried to eat once: NEVER AGAIN!

The Pearl's true reaction, what we saw in "Fusion Cuisine" was just a tame version.

[up]You'd think she'd not like fusion that much, eh? It's essentially the same thing.

So, more Steven popping into people's dreams? Cuz that's what that looked like to me.
