There isn't one for Terminator Ruby, they were very insistent on pointing that out in one very quick aside comment.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

they would have to actually rewrite the intro theme, even if just a little, to accommodate Peridot and Lapis.
What makes you say that? Plenty of shows keep the same opening even if it gets super out of date with regards to the show's content.

I don't see Lapis and Peridot getting singing roles, budget or no budget, anymore than those two.
If only because it would make the song awkward.

It's either a weapon, or a special power, like Peridot's ferrokinesis and Lapis' hydrokinesis.

Ruby has a gauntlet and the ability to set herself and others on fire.

Every gem seem to have at least one power, which may be a weapon, even if it was an unplanned feature like Peridot's. Some other gems have several.

A Lapis/Sapphire fusion would have the accurate precision power of the entire Arctic Ocean.

Speaking of movies, someone asked at SDCC if they would want to make one, and they basically said they'd love to. I got to thinking though. Do you think they can handle the pacing of a 1 1/2 to 2hr movie with how densely packed their 11 minute episodes are?

Bismuth was well paced. Same for the two parters. I think they can handle expanding the length of a story.

Yeah, they actually tend to do better if they can stretch it out, imo. Sometimes condensing everything down to 10 minutes can bite you in the ass because it's so rushed.

I can't help but see the positives when it comes to the episode lengths. The pacing can be jerky sometimes, but you can't fault the ambition.

Besides, there's plenty of full-length episodes that drag out the 22 minutes they're given, let alone live action shows which more often than not waste their long episode times on pointless scenes.

The Bismuth two parter was great, but that's still only 22 minutes. It could be harder for them to do a full 2 hours without having to resort to padding it.

So, knowing what we know about Gem technological levels and current capabilities, what the hell was the Glass of Time and how in God's name did it function?!

I thought of that, but felt it better someone else bring it up, lest I answer my own question. That's really dark. Wait, wouldn't a time controlling Gem be incredibly powerful?

That'd presumably why they'd be shattered and ground up probably. Too OP.

OH right, read that wrong. I thought it said a Sand Gem ground magic time sand into an hour-glass. CURSE YOU MILD DYSLEXIA!

I guess it depends if you're okay with getting an edge over a Close-Enough Timeline. Yours' won't be effected, and you'll be traveling to a near-identical one with that version of yourself to contend with.

No Time Thing can change this timeline because if it could, it would've happened already. Also if that particular one was very rare, even under the rules of Quantum Probability, it wouldn't be as OP as first assumed.

That's a lot of presumptions made on my part though, and we're probably better off just not thinking about it too hard.

The first half season did have a lot more stuff with no apparent origin.

wild mass guessTime gem had the ability to create clones of itself by going back in time, but the clones only worked in the past, and dissipated, once they reached the part of the timeline they went back in time from. Or maybe it just had no way to travel back to where it came from so they ended up being stuck with a bunch of dumb clones. Either way. This essentially made the ability impractical, and other gems had better clone abilities. Also Future Vision became a thing, and that made the information gathering aspect of it impractical too.

So Time Gem was shattered, by homeworld for not working as they'd hoped. But they couldn't just leave the dust lying around, because it would cause all kinds of shenanigans, so with no real way to destroy it, they put it in an hourglass, and hid it amongst a bunch of other hourglasses with regular sand, in a structure rigged to collapse if the wrong one was chosen, and reform after every however, many years they said it waswild mass guess
