There are two possible paths: one, the Gem does everything and simply took cues from Greg's genetic code in order to make Steven. Here cracking or shattering would affect him the same as other gems.

The second path is that the Gem actually does very little when he's not using his powers, it just translates Rose's "Design" into DNA and projects that half of his DNA throughout his cellular structure, meaning that cracking and shattering wouldn't manifest immediately (beyond a loss of powers), but he would rapidly start to degrade because any cells produced going forward would be hideously mutated.

I think it's the latter if only because Steven seems to truly *need* to eat, and not just eats out of a psychosomatic assumption that he needs to eat. Ergo, biologics.

Since Steven is a fusion I bet any damage to the gem would result in a corrupted form of some kind,and removing the gem altogether resits in a catatonic Steven,since gem is basically his heart

Why was Pearl always off model in the first part of season one? I mean, I can see some off-modelness occurring from time to time, but it was ALWAYS Pearl. I think she spent more time off-model than on-model until she reformed.

Probably because they found her hard to draw,and by later seasons they had perfected their attempts,or they were using the wrong model sheet.or nobody noticed

Everyone was off-model in the Season 1A...

Garnet's fro could get extremely massive...but nowadays it's the total opposite.

Wow, I haven't been on this thread in a like 100 pages.

Did anyone else notice the references to the Nativity in this last episode? Steven is a Messianic Archetype, after all. The gems coming to visit baby Steven bearing three gifts. Greg holding baby Steven while draped in blue. Seriously guys. A nice touch for the holiday season.

[up][up]I was going to chalk most of that up to coincidence, but yeah, can't really get around the blue cloak.

[up]The Gems spent most of their time since the War holed up in their temple and fighting the occasional baddie. Years are worthless if they're devoid of any meaningful experiences. Steven shook them up in a real positive way, allowing for emotional growth.

Fun fact: During the Rennaissance, the Virgin Mary's blue robes were most often painted with lapis lazuli pigment. (The pigment was very expensive, so it was reserved for only the most important of things) What does it mean?

It probably means exactly what you said...or...in the show it means she'll only be important rarely.

Judas would be someone so gung-ho about the protagonist's cause that they'll do something stupidly drastic and treacherous just to force the protagonist into action. Peridot seems to be way to happy just hanging out for that.

I can see Amethyst doing something that stupid with good intentions.

'Ive always wondered f Amethyst actually tasted what she ate or if it was just the sensation of eating she liked.

Given what she eats, it seems like the latter. Puts a new spin on hedonism.

Probably because half the storyboarding crew was in flux back then, and one of the only two consistent teams (Molisee/Villeco) always had the loosest style, barring Ian JQ.

Since Steven is a fusion
No, that was just a wrong guess Garnet made, just like Amethyst and Pearl were wrong. It's a bit closer, but only in a metaphorical sense.

She's a stick with a triangle glued on top.
Yes, now try to make a moving, emotive character with just those instructions.

Judas would be someone so gung-ho about the protagonist's cause that they'll do something stupidly drastic and treacherous just to force the protagonist into action.
If you want to go all Gnostic on us.

I haven't been in this thread for a while, so I probably missed a million shitstorms about Pearl's portrayal in the last ep.

Lemme guess, more anti-Pearl people are ranting about her.

I swear, between her, Lapis, and Jasper, I can't tell who people get angry about more.
