I do think a decorrupted, Heel–Face Turn Jasper would fill a nice character niche among the Crystal Gems as the resident Proud Warrior Race Girl figure. Beyond that I don't expect any other members to join permanently like Peridot and Lapis have. Aside from maybe a fully yellow one for color coordination reasons.

Hmm... You're right. With Jasper we'd have every color of the rainbow except for yellow.

Garnet. Jasper. (Yellow Gem). Peridot. Lapis. Amethyst. Steven. Pearl.

Maybe it would be Heliodor?

Well then we'd need a black gem and a grey gem too since we have a white gem. Maybe even a brown gem.

Black fills in for brown, extra sets are unnecessary.

However it happens, it's going to take more than 15 minutes of airtime and probably involve someone she hasn't already spoken to.

wild mass guessLion was just a normal cat/lion who accidentally ate Pink's shards because Rose didn't store them well.

Smokey Quartz covers for brown I guess. And Pearl is multicolored enough that she can cover for pink, white, and blue. Currently they don't have anyone who can fill in for the orange and yellow parts of the spectrum, even with fusion.

[up][up]I've always wanted to know what would happen if a human/animal ate gem shards, if they would get super powers. My headcanon is that they become witches.

I don't actually want it to happen in the show because I don't want it to become too anime, but headcanons man. evil grin

If a human eats them, they probably lose all control...of their bodies.

If an animal eats them, then they turn into witches...don't get burned.

Not that burning would affect them anyway.

On the one hand, humans accidentally consuming Gem shards resulting in some kind of mutating plague would be pretty interesting.

On the other hand, it's probably been done.

While I'm still working with a team of scientists to fully decipher what precisely she meant, I think what she was trying to say is that she would want it to be more direct about positively portraying same-gender relationships. I tried telling her that we'd just end up in the days of 80s and 90s cartoons, where episodes would stop dead in their tracks to teach a lesson to the kids. But she wasn't convinced, saying that those would be better than things like this. Personally, I think she's just trying to disagree with the message under the guise of saying the message isn't prevalent enough, but I guess that begs the question: What episodes of this show aren't all that subtle in portraying same-sex relationships? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is "The Answer".

Is she talking about Discount Lesbians? Because sure, the Gems are all gay for each other, and you've got a wide range of body types and personalities, but technically, they're genderless space rocks who just happen use female pronouns to refer to themselves, and project female-looking forms for themselves. I don't think we've seen any LBGTQ human characters, aside from the background kid and his two moms.

I've always wanted to know what would happen if a human/animal ate gem shards, if they would get super powers.
I've wondered if gem shards could be used as a power source, but eating one would probably just cause a body part to form inside your body, and the expansion would cause fatal organ damage.

@JBC31187: People mostly complain about Discount Lesbians because works act like a human being attracted to a technically sexless alien is not indicative of their sexuality (for instance claiming a male human is not gay/bisexual for being attracted to a male-looking alien). Essentially, so they can have a functionally same-sex romance with a character who's still suppose to be straight.

That's not happening here. The two main same-sex romances (Ruby/Sapphire and Pearl->Rose) are between two aliens, and the show itself never even brings up that they're asexual.

It's not like gems being aliens makes them any less relatable as characters in this regard or others. Functionally, the only difference is that gems never question their sexuality because female/female couple are the only kinds possible within their species. Basically they don't have any Gayngst, which is fine to write about, but shouldn't really be a mandatory part about writing a gay/bisexual character.

[up][up][up]Well, you could make a case for Lars and Sadie, considering they're both attracted to Stevonnie.

So was Sour Cream, for that matter.

That's because they're seeing Stevonnie as whatever sex they're attracted to.

Gem shards have been used to power automatons, as mentioned in Frybo.

What if one of them were bi? Then what would they see Stevonnie as?
