Whether they fused or not, rushing towards each other like they for hugging and kissing still would have raised flags.
Though I wouldn't be surprised that fusion has become such a norm for them that unless they constantly thinking of why they did it, they just sort of automatically fuse again when they touch each other or something.
Which is funny. The C Gs did everything they could to hide themselves, block Homeworld from getting information and stopping them from coming back, and then Blue Diamond just pops in randomly without them knowing, and could have done this many times. They were 'We can't let Homeworld know' and Homeworld is 'No, we always knew. We just didn't care.'
Essentially, it made the crystal gems' worrying pointless in the end.
-Witty line-Well because of the Cluster there was no reason to worry about a few stragglers
Until it happened that one of those stragglers was Rose Quartz
Forever liveblogging the AvengersObligatory Sarcasm was pointing out that the Crystal Gems tried to concealed their presence past the point of being found out, and that Homeworld gems came to Earth anyway for other reasons.
Just a heads up,Steven Universe is now on Netflix if you're outside the US

Basically. The crystal gems did various things to hide from Home World and hinder their scouts from discovering them (destroying the Red Eye, breaking the Galaxy Warp, trying to stop Lapis from escaping, destroying the transmitter tower, hiding during YD's call, etc). They didn't want HW to know that they were there, save for Marble Madness where they flat out revealed themselves. They didn't want to get the Diamonds attention and were hoping they would ignore Earth. This feels like the Crystal Gems' hiding attempts were All for Nothing as the Cluster meant the Diamonds never forgot about Earth from the start and even without that, Blue Diamond was able to go around all their precautions without them knowing.
Its funny as later Aquamarine acknowledges that Yellow Diamond is aware of them and she doesn't care.
-Witty line-I still think that Homeworld's nonchalance anout the Crsytal Gems is 100% due to them thinking that Earth is imminently about to be destroyed by The Cluster. Should they learn that The Cluster neutralized itself, I bet they'd be more proactive.
They'll also be more proactive if the learn what we all learned in "A Single Pale Rose," but probably in a way more panicky way.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.It would probably leader to either a Heel Realization and redemption arc...or her lashing out at Steven for lying to her (which is technically true).
Bismuth might take it harder though, a lot harder. Since the revelations reveal an angle to recontexutalize her rejection of the Breaking Point around.
TBH I think corrupting Jasper was a mistake because it means we have to go through an extra hurdle to see her reaction or anything else from her really. Poofing her would have been a better option. And I don't think it's a very good hook to look for a cure either, because Steven was terrified of her, and the CG's have no reason to think she wouldn't still react badly.
Well, Centipeedle is all the motivation they need to find a cure. Jasper just won't be able to react until they find one (and it's entirely plausible that a Corruption cure may be revealed soon as a side effect of learning that Steven is a Diamond since Corruption was a Diamond-made ability in the first place).

Sorry for double posting, but even CN isn't trying to hide it at this point

I love how about this time last year we all thought Season 5 was gonna be the last one because some of the boarders were leaving, and now we have all but official confirmation that Season 6 is happening.
