The Rubies never posed a threat, and when Ruby and Sapphire were told to knock it off, they largely knocked it off.

And yet some people act like they endangered Peridot when it's shown that a same Gem fusion is pretty fucking weak.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Compared to "Chille Tid" and even "The Return" she was less agressive towards Stephen...at first she only pushed him out of the way before going directly for attack.

The saga continues!

I had to stop reading for a second after "ridgey-didge sheila", out of both pain and mirth (kanga-ronin is pretty good too).

Being fair, the Crystal Gems at first didn't knew that the rubies were searching for Jasper rather than Peridot.

Also, we don't know if the fusion was really weaak because they never fighted.

The Answer kinda established that a same gem fusion is weak.

All they would have to do is have Lapis water attack it and then it'd be taken care of.

...how is two people in a long term relationship flirting unhealthy? Is me wanting to cuddle my girlfriend unhealthy?

Pearl immediately poofed the three-Ruby fusion without using a gem weapon. I don't think these ones would be any stronger individually, and the extra two Rubies wouldn't help that much.

The Crystal Gems held off on fighting because they didn't want a needless battle or for another party to be sent after the Ruby Squad.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised how when Hit the Diamond leaked from the French airings, it was well liked, but after it had aired in the US, people suddenly were divided on it.

Is more like the fact that they couldn't focus on the mission due the cuddling and all.

I'm not against couples and cuddling and all that, but I think there's a time for everything, and (before they know the utter incompetence of the rubies) It would have been good if they could just focus in what were they doing in that moment.

Just my opinion. They are cute and all, but they blowed the cover because their lack of focus.

It's just that in barn mates they were focused in being the lovebirds they are and not in, well, you know, winning the game that was supossed (even thought it wasn't, luckily for Peridot) very important to save the life of Peridot.
That's not a codependent relationship, that's just a regular relationship.

A codependent relationship is like someone trying to fix a partner who is a compulsive liar, suicidal or has a crippling addiction, because they believe by fixing their partner they can make themselves happier. I think. I'm not an expert on these things. Don't get mad at me if I'm off on some details.

And anyway when I said that I was joking. Hence the youtube clip.

Yeah I don't really think it's fair to compare Ruby and Sapphire who are actually in love and work as one together for the benefit of the Earth for thousands of years to Jasper and Lapis who couldn't get along and fought to have control over Malachite over a few months probably.

Then again, maybe I'm just too individualistic.

I'm not very romantic or easily appealed by cuteness, so maybe my opinion may had to do with that.

Oh, right, what Pearl attacked was a pair of Quartzes. Well, I still doubt they'd be much of a threat in context.

It was kind of annoying because the whole thing was Ruby and Sapphire's plan (sort of) and yet they were the weakest link. Can't they just wait until the game's over?

Tbh I just thought it was cute. The Rubies never seemed like that big of a threat to me anyway.

Yeah, Ruby and Sapphire were just being adorable. It's one of the few times I've gotten to see a lesbian couple flirt on tv.

Also wasn't playing baseball Steven's idea?

#36422: Jul 28th 2016 at 9:12:04 PM

[up]Pretty much yeah. I mean Ruby pretending to be with the other Rubies was her idea, but it was Steven who decided they should play baseball.

I'm not going to fault Ruby and Sapphire for being distracted with each other, since they're hardly apart as it is and aren't usually face to face. I personally enjoyed the flirting, it was cute.

He had to improvise after Amethyst gave him a bat, and Amethyst only had the bat in the first place because Peridot took the cardboard box it was resting in to hide/have a panic attack.

Previously known as "71TheRoman". Wishes his password wouldn't forget who he is...
