Her main colors are teal and white.
I was talking about her clothing which is blue. Because teal is a kind of blue.

Smoky Quartz was glorious. That's gotta be my favorite weapon yet, a fucking whip/shield yoyo.

They're like a large, fun-loving if slightly immature kid with strong abilities, confidence, and a bit of smugness. So yeah, it's perfection.

I was losing my mind over Jasper's speech. That's some fantastic acting on her part.

This one's tied with Bismuth, Return/Jailbreak, Alone Together, and Sworn to the Sword as my favorite episodes. I can't pick just one.

SO much delicious, delicious world building.

I'm surprised Lapis and Peridot get along so well already. I wasn't expecting this comic of Zuke's◊ to be more or less canon.

Good lord, she's even got the bow tie.

I'm sure Smoky Quartz's arms is not like that because its their first fusion.

We'll probably see by the end of the week, because part of "Know Your Fusion" seems to be the two of them showing it off.

[up][up]I just noticed Lapis is still barefoot in that comic.

I see zero reason to assume Smoky Quartz's extra half-arm is due to anything other than Rule of Cool.

Didn't Matt Burnett joss theories like this a long time ago?

Yeah, I think someone from the show confirmed "mode-lock"- Malachite will always be a big six-armed monster woman even if Lapis and Jasper build a better relationship.

I'm glad that Smokey Quartz has my favorite type of ridiculous fictional weapon. There's something about yo yos that makes for a really cool fighting style.

And man, I just can't get over Earthlings. Jasper's line about people leaving her, her voice cracking while talking about Pink Diamond, and especially Amethyst calling her "sis".

I need big sis Jasper and little sis Amethyst. It's so precious.

I'm sorry, I still don't like them. I mean, fusion has been shown as a metaphor for sex and relationships (abusive or loving) in the past.

Amethist is Steven older sister.

Their fusion is a weird thing with three arms, not 4 or 2.

Just... no... maybe it wasn't the creators purpose, but it reminds me of the Borgias comic by Milo Manara.

I'm really sorry for seeing that.

I liked Smoky Quartz's weapon, but I found their character design a bit awkward-looking. Also, the skin didn't seem to be a blend of Steven's and Amethyst's, but a different one entirely. Maybe that was the intention, since it was a first-time unintentional fusion, but I hope there's a different design for them if they appear later on.

And I don't think Steven's part-Gem status will affect his fusions in the future, if he was able to fuse with Connie with no real imperfections.

Temple can not be Antebellum architecture as it is a celebration of fusion.

So it is possible to avoid Rose's mind control, if you don't get her spit on you?

Hi. I tend to lurk more these days. I have this thread on my watchlist tho

Oh, hi! Glad to see you still around.smile Now I think about it I guess I lurk more than I post as well

I think Smokey Quartz being odd looking was the whole point. Two misfits fuse into one giant misfit. And that misfit kicks ass.

That was my impression as well. But despite the extra arm being kinda freaky, it fitted him perfectly, and they made good use of it, so it was awesome.

Overall I loved everything about Smoky Quartz. Their appearance, their personality, their weapon. I wasn't expecting it at all, but it made perfect sense.

I mean, fusion has been shown as a metaphor for sex and relationships (abusive or loving) in the past.

Fusion is not sex. It is analogous to it on some situations (Ruby and Sapphire "first time") but hardly aways (else Stevonie would be squirk as well). It is analogous to relationship and intimacy, but not always of romantic nature (Garnet wouldn't be fusing anyone otherwise). Steven and Amethyst have a great relationship and love each other, so there is no reason why they couldn't fuse.

There something I feel people are overlooking.

Did Jasper fuse with that corrupt gem by force? I didn't think that was even possible.

EDIT: Or maybe it just "agreed" because that would get it out of the cage. Still kind of weird that corrupted gems are even capable of fusion.

[up][up]All the relationships...bad and good.

Stephen and Amethyst have the best chemistry in the series.

[up]I don't think the creatures are aware enough for that. What would you call Ruby and Sapphire's first time if not forced in a different sense...?

I took her forcing it as part of why she became corrupted. Also, why it didn't last that long. And also why no one wants to fuse with her.

So I've heard that there are two drawings of Jasper with the crew.

I know of the one with the hisbiscus and hat. But what's the first one?

I'm still holding out hope for a fusion that combines Connie's Earth knowledge with Peridot's Gem knowledge.

A 3 way fusion between Stephen, Connie, and the Peridot gem? That's the only way it would be even close to possible.
