I dont know if anyone's noticed this yet, but every garnet fusion so far has been a pun. Sardonyx - Sardonic, Suggilite - Suggilate.
suggilate: From Latin suggillo (“to beat until bruised”)
Sardonic: grimly mocking or cynical.
Garnet, Master of Comedy
GODDAMIT
Garnet herself is a pun on garner, which means to gather because she’s a fusion

I’m just going to leave this link to Rubyfruit Jungle’s Wiki entry right here to suggest that perhaps their mutual love of fucking puns united our favorite tiny lesbians.
i’m bringing this stupid-ass post back because i realized alexandrite is also a pun - the name alexander/alexandra is of greek origin and means ‘the defender of men’ which references the crystal gems as the defenders of earth and mankind
