They also confirmed awhile back that fusions can exist as regular Gems,so there are non fusion garnets out there somewhere

Mixed fusions make up their own names—unless they're just copying that of previous fusions with the same type combinations—but with fusions like Garnet, the resemblance is so strong, any Ruby+Sapphire fusions is likely to come up with that same name independently.

[up][up]Garnets are also a category of gems, like quartz, which Blue Diamond listed several of, so none of them just go by "Garnet". (It was also a really clever way to have a Homeworld variation on Garnet's design.)

Obsidian is the one other gem fusion we've seen a singular version of—one of the Little Homeworld extras is (according to a model sheet) a Snowflake Obsidian. There's not much of a resemble besides mostly being a similar shade of black, but when a fusion is pitch black and practically made of lava, what else are you going to call her? Pitchblende?

Storyboard revisionist Nicole Rodriguez just finished her last day.

Even assuming she was working on the very last episode, that would mean Future just finished storyboard revisions, making the airing quite far away—maybe even over a year—though I wouldn't assume that's because there's a lot of episodes. (For reference, she started work on the movie in March 2018.)


An attempt to add more context to the "gems are technology" statement.
the question itself iirc was smth like “we know that gems are made using kindergartens, but are there any gems that form naturally?”, and her answer…kinda did and didn’t answer that? she pretty much said that gems ARE like computers, ai. in her words, “gems are technology”. so she answered a question about what the gems are, but not necessarily the question that was asked, tho it implies that there was possibly someone/something that created white diamond/the gem species imo

Was looking at a picture of the mystery Aquamarine fusion and realized her eyes are different; the left one is an oval while the right one is a circle. So, it is indeed either Eyeball and Aquamarine, or Aquamarine and a tiny, defective red Pearl with an eye gem.

[up][up]That actually sounds unnecessarily confusing by Rebecca Sugar. She could have just answered the question with NO and just leave it at that or just answer she doesnt want to spoil too much. A lot of people are convinved of the existence of a creator anyway.

[up][up][up][up] I consider that answer neither vague nor misleading. It feels more like avoiding yes or no for the sake of it. I dont see how saying Gems are technology doesnt automatically mean that gems cant form naturally since technology by definition is artificial.

Even when the gem creators turn out to be natural ocurring mineral lifeforms like in that Star Trek episode with Abraham Lincoln it would still not make a difference if she answered no instead of her actual answer because those wouldnt be technology and therefore by her own statement not gems.

I got my copy of The Tale of Steven today.

It's only like twenty pages, but it's worth reading for this experimental thing with the pages you're best off just seeing yourself.

One thing I will say is that's pretty much specific about Pink/Rose, White Diamond, and Steven—the others aren't in it the same way.

It's Painting the Medium is what I'm saying.

And to reiterate, it's an incredibly short book. Trying to describe it any more would take more time than reading it.

I don't understand why people seem to think White Diamond is so different than the other Gems, or even the other Diamonds. She's like 1.5 times larger than Yellow and Blue, and we see that kind of height difference between other Gems of the same type, most notably between Quartz's. Her design is along the same lines as Yellow and Blue, and she has a physical gem visible the same way as every other gem. The only other difference is White's ability to control other Gems, but Yellow, Blue, and Pink have the same kind of crazy abilities like that, so I think that's just a Diamond thing.

Probably because of this line from Pearl in "Legs From Here to Homeworld", where she says exactly that:

Steven... White Diamond isn't like us. She isn't even like them. You have no idea what she's capable of!

#59620: Oct 12th 2019 at 3:18:59 PM

Oh yeah, that line. I choose to believe that Pearl was speaking only in terms of "White Diamond is insanely powerful and unreasonable, even more so than the other Diamonds" not "White Diamond is not a Gem as we know them".

Or Pearl did mean that, but ended up being wrong. White was acting like a freakishly calm statue, but started moving once she had to and ended up emoting despite herself.

So Brendan Blaber (a.k.a. Jellopocalypse) had... quite the take on Spinel (emphasis mine):

I don't understand why 90% of the Steven Universe fanbase reaction to Spinel is "Uw U poor baby, must protecc". She's so scaru. Spinell is the dangerously clingy friend who *will not leave you alone*.

I'm just saying, if Spinel were a boy, everyone would be grossed out by her.

The production team could not have done a better job painting her as a pile of emotional red flags and yet every comment I see on this movie is like "Oh Pink is the real villain! Pink Diamond is the worst!"

Y'all never met this person in real life, have you?

I don't quite agree on everything he brings up (especially that weird gendered comparison about "if Spinel was male"), what about y'all?

I don't agree at all.

I've seen how people react to male characters in similar situations and it's pretty much exactly the same.

Also the idea that what Pink did wasn't terrible just because Spinel was annoying is a pretty bad take.
