Jasper: Repeat after me. Green.
Peridot: Green.
Jasper: Green.
Peridot: Green.
Jasper: What’s the color of your gem?
Peridot: Green.
Jasper: Eh! You didn’t repeat after me!
Peridot: *sighs*

Jasper: You know, they say your gem is defective if your hand is bigger than your face.
Peridot: No, they don’t. I’m an expert of Gem defects.
Jasper: It’s a new research, just in from Homeworld.
Peridot: Really? *compares her hand to her face*
Jasper: *smacks Peridot’s face with her own hand* Pfft, ha!
Peridot: *groans*

Jasper: The blue gem lives in the blue house.
Peridot: Jasper, no.
Jasper: The red gem lives in the red house.
Peridot: I’m not going along with this, Jasper.
Jasper: Who lives in the white house?
Peridot: I’m not answering this question.
Jasper: Come on, Peridot. Who lives in the white house?
Peridot: Ugh, fine. Is it the white gem?
Jasper: No, you idiot, the president lives in the white house! HAHAHA
Peridot: What the hell is a president?

Ok but…

What I find so beautiful about this scene
Is how Peridot remarks how it hurts that she can never go back home but, that it’s ok because she has “something different now”. And what’s really great is when Steven asks what she means she says “You… guys”
Peridot considers herself apart of their family and that’s beautiful.

Also this isn’t a spoiler or anything but it’s really REALLY important
PERIDOT CAN PUT HER FINGERS UNDER HER VISOR

Question
Do you guys consider Alexandrite’s firebreathing a new weapon/ability of hers, or an extension of Ruby’s heat abilities?

I think it’s what happens when ruby and amethyst form because amethyst loves using her mouth and ruby is all firey

This really stood out to me, because you could make the argument that Steven possessed those watermelons. He speaks of it very innocently (being “in” a watermelon), but it does have darker implications about his powers.
It’s especially interesting considering that Rose led armies of plant soldiers. We’ve been guessing we’ll learn something dark soon about Rose as a military leader, and it’s interesting to see Steven taking up that military leader role, and sacrificing the lives of his subjects, even if they’re just watermelons.
He’s becoming more like Rose and it might also mean facing a lot of her demons.
EDIT: TO CLARIFY because I’ve gotten 5 messages about this post

I like how the Steven Universe writers use fantasy in order to get around censors.
Like depicting Ruby and Sapphire as a romantic couple because it’s technically fusion
Or having Pearl be totally gay for Rose Quartz because they’re genderless rocks
Or having Malachite brutally murder several people because they’re plants
