I approve of a Peridot fusion with Stevonnie.

I really appreciated that Amethyst and Steven fused because it gives some solid proof that fusions don't have to be romantic or sexual in nature. I appreciated that. ^_^ Also, Smoky Quartz's design is super cool, and I love their weapon.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Pearl and Amethyst's fusion wasn't proof enough of that?

Admittedly, their have been times when Pearl and Amethyst seemed almost flirty...

My first thought was wondering how Connie would react to this news. I hope she'll be cool with it.

A hypothetical Stevonnie/Amethyst fusion would be really cool.

The fusion was also great because it very sweetly wrapped up Amethyst's inferiority subplot about fusion since "Cry for Help". She never did get validation for that and kinda kept it to herself. It makes perfect sense the two youngest, and most pressured members of the team would be able to bond over that shared theme.

I also loved that Steven stood up for himself and basically said "you think you're the only one with insecurities" Join the freaking club. But you don't have to do it by yourself."

Well, looks like the Jasper and Amethyst art is starting. I'll probably link some tonight.

Hey guys, a friend of mine holds Jasper as his waifu.

Look how he reacted after the episode "Earthlings"

Translation

I have just watched Earthlings
I just have one word in my mind
NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor guy, he's of course exageratting, we're best friends after all and that's how he gets along with me, but I don't know if I should feel weirdened by the fact that he's suffering for a fictional character, laugh at how he reacted to the episode, or feel sad for him.

[up][up][up][up]I does not recall. Anything outside of "Secret Team" or just before Season 2 is a negative.

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.

I think the best way to describe fusion is "a relationship where both parties share a deep understanding and trust." Someone you can open up to- Garnet described it as a conversation. So the romance and sex part is there, but so is the chaste part, like Opal.

It's all the good and all the bad...think of it as neutral.

It's not as if fusion is sex/romance/friendship/understanding all at the same time. It's any emotional bond, even negative and hurtful ones like with Malachite.

I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, seeing Lapis and Peridot living together was amazing, Smoky Quartz really grew on me and now I love them, the reveal of Pink Diamond actually being a thing. On the other hand... Jasper. Being pretty much trashed. There was actual, real sympathy and pathos for her this episode. But now I think that it will be a while if we ever see Jasper again, if ever.

That's a good thing, mang. She got a lot of focus this season, time for someone else to crack open some emotional nuts.

She'll show up when Steven gets curious about Pink Diamond. I mean, who else is he going to ask?

[up][up]I don't know about that. She's had the least screen-time of any of the "main" Gems.

Plus, they resolved the Jasper situation without killing her, which is what I was afraid of.

[up][up][up]Garnet, Lapis, Pearl, or Peridot? People who both might know and can still talk.

[up][up]When did she become a "main" Gem?

[up][up][up]She's not a "main" gem, she's a side dish who's main special will be served when the time is right.

wild mass guess Pink Diamond was the first Earthling.

Jasper will be back soon. Kimberly Brooks has been recording much more often recently.

And the crew has flat out said Jasper is a main gem, or rather "part of the SU family".

[up][up][up][up] I was gonna mention Pearl. tongue

I'll elaborate, Pearl, Garnet, Jasper and Bismuth are the only people that might know what happened to Pink Diamond. But since half are usual ytight-lippe an the other half are poofed and bubbled, that will be a plot thread left to dangle until another character can answer, betting on One of the Diamonds simply for the personal factor.

It still comes off to me as people letting their fondness for the character get the better of them.
