i think its cute how all the cgs land after unfusing, like garnet is in control and has herself together as always, pearl is steady but not quite as steady as garnet and amethyst is. on her face
im always a fan of the Stick To The Status Quo trope, everything goes back to normal yet nothing is the same as it was before
still looking forward to future arcs ye
except not everything is back to status quo. Peridot now has no reason to stick with them except that she feels like she has a place where she truly belongs, lapis is back and jasper is free and yellow diamond is on her way to earth. That’s not exactly status quo. Also, pearl and garnet are probably gonna freak when they hear about what the cluster was like
my steven universe theory is that steven’s just gonna keep befriending villains until there’s just no villains left. he’s gonna have all those gem monsters flocking around him like puppies. yellow diamonds gonna come over for dinner on holidays. steven’s gonna hug whatever eldritch void horror created the gems. this is how galactic peace will be achieved
That’s nice and all, but what about the planet-sized gem monster in earth’s core?
