Re: Zuke. I think that her particular writing of Lapis and Peridot as characters has a very specific tone to it (Lapis's constant shifts between withdrawn and socially clueless to cynical and sarcastic being the most notable example), and some people don't like that characterization, or at least how seemingly large of an influence Zuke has on their characters.

I think that shipping plays a role in it as well, but it's not like that's the entirety of the story. I mean 4chan went from loving Zuke to absolutely hating Zuke.

I'm honestly just glad that we've got an inkling of a canon answer

I really love both Amedot and Lapidot and I don't want either of those relationships to die ;~;

Sure it does.

Peridot still thinks very highly of Amethyst. Even if its not romantic doesn't make it not a relationship.

That wasn't the point...

Eh, SU is the type of show where I'd prefer we not see any canon relationships (aside from stuff like parents or Ruby and Sapphire). Zuke saying that Amethyst was just a crush for Peridot does nothing but incite conflict among fans, and I think they shouldn't have made those comments. It's just really bad form.

They said fans were allowed their interpretations

The post was just so people don't have to play guess the intention

Fans were incensed before the post. Fans are always incensed. The word does stem from 'fanatic' after all

I think the writers should be allowed to do what they want without worrying about fans harassing them. Only said abusive fans hold responsibility.

So what happened? Zuke sank Amedot?

I am okay with this because Amedot died screaming for me when Amethyst was a boundary violating dick bag.

Throwing Peridot's iPad (the thing she's using as a substitute for her Limb Enhancers) into the water because she's decided that Peridot doesn't need it.

And then Peridot gets magic powers so now she's useful.

Basically fuck that episode is what I'm saying.

It'd probably be more easily forgivable if Amethyst had thrown Peridot's security tablet somewhere other than the ocean.

That could've been repairable vs lost to the ocean waves, so yes that's one example

And Too Short to Ride was also Lauren Zuke and Hilary Florido too so hey

its the arc probably

It's not even out of character. Amethyst can be as insensitive to others' feelings as she is brittle about her own

Amethyst also threw away Peridot's enhancers,which is slightly bad but then you could argue that if you depend on those things that make you useful (or in Peridot case,formidable) why should you lose them altogether?I know Peridot now has some powers but with her limb enhancers she could even stronger

The problem is that Amethyst is portrayed as right. Peridot lips up with her and an entire episode is devoted to the apology, but Amethyst screws with her but it's okay

And likewise, it's an episode about how Peridot hates herself and think she's useless and... is completely proven correct. So now she has magic powers.
