I'd love to see the original versions of Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper.

We see Jasper start looking like the corrupted Gem she fused with. Maybe a similar thing is going on with the bird.
But that was another quartz, and seemed to specifically be another kind of jasper.

And that's besides the point, I was saying that the gemstones in the big bird didn't look like the ones that came out when it broke apart.

I think that just means this was the third design they made up for Smoky

Well we've already seen several early designs for the main gems though early concept art as well a the pilot. But yeah, I'd love to see some more concept art for everyone else.

“The Kindergarten Kid” was hilarious, but the best lines went to Amethyst and Garnet.

  • We knew it’d be funny.
  • Future vision.

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.

Topaz? Citrine?

Might as well put in my bets for Season 4 before it starts:

  • Peridot’s first fusion will be with Amethyst.
  • Yellow Diamond will make a re-appearance. Pink Diamond will appear in flashback.
  • Lion is an experiment Rose tried as a sort of “proof of concept” trial, to see if she could “mate” with Greg.
  • Pearl belonged to White Diamond.
  • Peridot will (finally) be poofed and get a Crystal Gem redesign.
  • Peridot’s star will be where her Diamond logo is currently.
  • More Homeworld gems will come to Earth (New kinds we haven’t seen yet).
  • Jasper will be uncorrupted this season
  • Centipeetle will be uncorrupted this season.
  • Centipeetle is a Nephrite.
  • Gems that will be poofed this season: Pearl, Peridot, Amethyst.
  • Gems that will be un-bubbled this season: Jasper, Bismuth.
  • Fusions that will occur this season: Opal, Sardonyx, Smoky Quartz, Rainbow Quartz, Stevonnie, Steven + Amethyst, Steven + Greg, Peridot + Amethyst.

So I'm sure none of us are in doubt over Deedee Magno Hall's singing chops, but I got curious to see some other stuff she's done.

Found a cool Award-Bait Song.

Do you know what I'd like to se? Steven fusing with a gem (or, maybe, an human girl/woman) and the resulting fusion havin male characteristics and voice; but, of course, still using the pronoun "them".

Also, a long time ago in this thread was discused that fusion as a little of fridge horror (was it?) to it, in the fact it was especulated that if you keep fused too long and/or the fusion has a strong personality (like in the case of sugilite, also in the answer they told us the fusion between different types of gems was like dissapearing (?)) it may overwhelm you/make you lose your individuality (was it?).

And they may be right, I myself cannot begin to imagine what made sugilite act that way, I mean, amethyst I understand somewhat, and garnet can be alittle impulsive, but what have garnet, ruby or sapphire agaisnt pearl? one would think they would have made something to stop sugilite? also, it's me, or sardonix and sugilite have more of pearl and amethyst than they have of garnet?

Getting back to the topic, I think that being a fusion also has a little bit of fridge horror to it; think about it, most fusions are not garnet, most of the time gems only fuse because they need to get stronger, and whe the task is complete they stop being until who knows when if ever; and I know, they're fusion, it is what it is and it has to be something normal for them, but, remember what garnet said? that she will continue to exist as long as ruby and sapphire love each other? well, while they're unfused, she doesn't have any said on how their relation progresses.

I'm not talking specifically about them here, but, since fusions are are the representation of the kind of relationship two gems have, what happens to a fusion of two gems that are very friendly towards eachother, when they stop being so friendly until the point they start hating eachother, isn't being something very nice at first, but then changing to something unrecognisable because of something that is out of your control?

and wow, wall of text o_o

Stephen's too young for any of the fusions to have any male-type voice...it's not likely to happen.

[up][up] True, but that makes me question, will steven fusions become more "masculine" as he grows?

Probably not. It'll end off on a middle ground physique and that's a bout it.

One thing I did dislike about Smoky Quartz is how much like Amethyst they sounded like. I don't mind Amethyst's voice actress doing the voice but I'd prefer she not sound almost exactly like her except with slightly different tone/inflection.

Gabo352 Since: Jun, 2016
#40341: Aug 14th 2016 at 7:33:39 PM

[up][up]Yeah, becused if it happened it would feel/look really weird.

[up] I thought it was the same voice actress the first time I saw it.

I imagine when Steven is an adult his fusions will sound Contralto or Contratenor.

[up][up]No it isn't. Amethyst is voiced by Michaela Dietz, while Smoky Quartz is voiced by Natasha Lyonne.

I do wonder how close to a normal human life span Steven is going to have. And assuming he does die of natural causes one day, what happens to his Gem? Will Rose eventually just reform after his body has decayed? That's a bit morbid but...

[up]Then that just makes it worse.

I don't think Steven has a regular aging rate. Too many Birthdays, and Steven's Birthday seem to prove that his aging is entirely mental.

[up][up]I doubt we'll get to see it, but, why couldn't she? comeback after steven dies, I mean.

[up]But even then, hes organic, maybe even if he can control his, err... form, his body (or maybe his gem) wont be able to keep going forever? Otherwise, what side do you think steven will take the one of Who Wants to Live Forever? or the one of Living Forever Is Awesome?

[up]Who knows, maybe when he dies the gem dies along with him. There's no saying for sure because no one like him has ever existed before.

They don't really sound that similar to me. It's clear the voice direction told Natasha to at least partially base her performance on Amethyst's voice, but it's hard to imitate Michaela's naturally raspy tones.

It sounds like Amethyst's voice but without the rasp and a bit deeper...which I think is suppose to make it also sound like Stephen, but Stephen's voice doesn't really sound like that anymore.
