It's kind of naive to assume that's not what that Word of God meant. This is at end of the day still a kid's show, and they're not going to go into detail about that.

And them being a different species isn't really an obstacle. They're not really that different to begin with, and gems are a species that are basically changelings and can shapeshift whatever they need.

The other day i got a weird though.

What if the Infinity Stones were gems? That's one interesting crossover idea.

So, as seen in Buddy's Book, Rose would like to hide out in the desert with her lions. Perhaps she used the time to rest in her true form?

Concerning that Infinity Stones = Gems idea...

Remember that in the comics the Infinity Gems were Pieces of God (well, a god at any rate). There's actually a seventh Infinity Gem out there that contains said god's mind called the Ego Gem (no relation to the living planet). So the Infinity Gems being alive isn't too far-fetched.

Heck, if you really want to make a crossover, you could have the Infinity Gems be the result of an incredibly powerful Gem shattering itself. That would fit with the comics too, since the Infinity Gems came into existence when said god committed suicide.

[down] Yep. It was introduced in a crossover with Malibu's Ultraforce.

Wasn't the Ego Gem thing itself an idea introduced during a(n intercompany) crossover?

Damnit, I now want to see gemsonas of the Infinity Stones.

How much do you wanna bet the Mind gem's gemsona is just a female Vision?

Ronaldo Tier?

I mean, I can think of some theories that were Ronaldo Tier. The one theory that the Crystal Gems didn't care about Steven and that he was meant as a bio weapon. The one theory that Peridot was disabled and that's why she had robot limbs (this was before the limb enhancers were confirmed, by the way, people had just kinda guessed by that point). The one theory about how Jasper was a forced fusion and that's why she hates herself (god damn was that a stupid theory). But Rose being Pink Diamond wasn't Ronaldo Tier exactly. Close to it by that point, maybe, but not exactly.

It literally couldn't be anything else. The amount of misdirection the show attempted is impressive, but this was the only thing that would have made sense.

To be fair, Peridot being disabled isn't entirely inaccurate.

I mean the way the theory was made back in the ye old fandom days (and god do I feel old saying that), it was that she literally didn't have hands and feet because her Gem didn't make any or something. Or that her Gem possessed technology or something and the Peridot body she was in wasn't her real body or something.

Old fandom theories are weird. Makes me nostalgic for the heyday of Steven Universe and Gravity Falls.

Yeah, then we learned that she can't shapeshift, was made on a budget, and is one of the weakest Gems physically we've ever seen.

Is it that she can't shapeshift or that she still hasn't figured it out? I think they were a bit fuzzy on that but I can't remember.

Peridot thinks she can't because of how she was made, which is probably all that is needed for her not to be able to do it.

#54868: May 19th 2018 at 1:19:05 AM

You know, I kind of wish we had Word of God telling us exactly how strong each of the Gems are, physically. Like, how much can Garnet bench-press, could Steven beat Pearl in an arm-wrestling match, and exactly how weak is Peridot? Is Peridot weak by Gem standards but still stronger than any human, or could Connie beat her in a test of strength?

#54869: May 19th 2018 at 1:27:44 AM

But does that tell us how strong they are in the real way?

We already have more than enough footage to know that they are. I want to know how strong they are in a superficial way.

Going back to the Infinity Stones as actual Gems, I found this nice art in the Steven Universe tag.

I think "Know Your Fusions" covered that for the Fusions, at least, when comparing them to Smoky Quartz.

Yeah, but that wasn't a full line-up of all the gems. That was just Pearl < Stevonnie < Smoky Quartz =< Garnet < Opal < Sugilite.
