It seems likely that when Garnet was defusing in Keep It Together she was going through something similar to what Stevonnie went through. Forcibly defusing is no picnic.

Which in insight shows that garnet has alot of willpower, considering that her delusion probably had a lot to do with the war. She's filled with flexibilty, love & trust; you know? now that I think about it, another thing they could do with Garnet's character is showing how she endured the war and and it's tribulations, after all maintainig a relationship during times of war has to be difficult, or not?

Garnet explicitly said, all fusions get hallucinations like that when defusing. We only see Stevonnie's because the show is from Steven's perspective.

There would have to be positive hallucinations...because naturally defusing would be constant night traumas.

That is a point. Maybe she meant stress based de-fusing.

[up]You know? Now that I think about it, both holo pearls had the same gem placement.

Are future Jaspers going to come using bikini armour from now on?

Since we learned the Garnet was a relationship I stoped thinking about Pearl/Garnet as a posibility, but after that I dig it.

They wouldn't not have the same gem placement.

So why wouldn't they?

[up]I mean, they both ended with oly one gem (did they?) so that may answer the question of what happens when two gems with the same same gem placement fuse, or may be not, the aren't real gems after all.

They're holo-gems...their placement doesn't matter.

IIRC Word of God says that they'll both show up.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one in the thread who never cared about any deeper meaning behind the ending theme. Maybe it comes from watching anime, where the ending theme is completely meaningless to the content of the show its attached to most of the time.

I think usually anime just puts in actual pop-songs in the credits. At the very least they're almost always by real music talent. Every song in SU is written for this show, which is a major difference.

[up][up]That's not just anime...that's all cartoons in general.

The Credits song never means anything. Maybe some have a song that reflect back on the feel of the show in some way, otherwise it's nothing...and because of commercials you can't even hear them anyway.

A lot of times OP and ED songs are commissioned from pop artists for the purposes of the anime. They're usually made to be ambiguous enough to work as general songs but written specifically with the show's themes in mind.

Yep, I definitely saw the subtext with Mr Smiley and Mr. Frowny too.

That episode was a pleasant surprise. Thought they were going to go for Steven reanimating a creepy robot with his spit.

I agree that we are long overdue a good Garnet episode that's actually about her. I realize she is probably difficult to write for in that regard, since so much of the best material in this show is about flare-ups of the characters' personal issues and she's so completely together, but there's probably a lot to be mined in flashbacks. Out of the entire cast, she's the one who really had to create herself, and I would love to have a look at that process.

I would also like to see what she underwent in assuming the mantle of leadership when Rose died.

True,but in the event that Garnet is out of action she would assume a leadership role,right?

I suppose. But think how bad that situation would have to be. If Garnet's out of action, but a leader is still needed, then things have already gone to shit. There are gonna be some hurtin' Crystal Gems before the day is out.
