Everybody keeps saying “Amethyst will be better if she just trains!” and “She’ll never be as good as Jasper, but if she just trains!”

Buddy. Guy. The whole point of “Steven Vs. Amethyst” is that, even with training, there’s only so much Amethyst can really be. Only so strong she can grow physically.

That shouldn’t be considered something embarrassing, or wrong. It shouldn’t be considered hateful to point that out.

I’m proud of Steven for matching up with Amethyst. I’m proud of Amethyst for not being angry at him, but herself, and for trying her damndest even as she was struggling emotionally.

She loves Steven. Steven loves her. The gems love her. But she’s still defective; she’s still going to live and work differently from regular gems. If she didn’t, Homeworld wouldn’t have felt the need to instill the thought that any gem that wasn’t perfect deserved to be crushed.

Amethyst is never going to physically match up to a gem of her making. And that’s fine. What she doesn’t have physically, she has in how loving and strong emotionally and mentally she is. Thousands of years struggling with her own self-worth haven’t stopped her from having fun or joking around; that’s strength.

Thank you.  I wish other people could realize this.

But she literally had one training session and got upset and quit.
Now if she keeps up the training and duels with Steven then yeah I think she will get better.
Look at Pearl, she wasn’t “built for fighting” but she managed to beat Sugalite. No Amethyst isn’t going to miraculously get bigger and stronger like a full quartz soldier, but she can learn how to fight better, use her strengths and weaknesses to her advantage.
And she can’t learn that without practice

except she didn’t beat sugilite with brute strength, she outsmarted her. Amethyst is at the peak of her strength physically. If she wants to get better, she has to train her mind.
