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?
Peridot, who’s lived her entire life on homeworld, who doesn’t know what it’s like to care about where she came from, who has only ever been a single insignificant facet number among millions just like her, has probably never heard that someone loves her.
And when Steven has the opportunity to say his last words, he uses them to let her know that he loves her. She matters to him. She isn’t just a disposable Peridot- she is somebody who someoneloves. Someone who is more important to her than anything- even her previous leader, who she near idolized. And look at how touched she is, too. Her eyes water, she looses her panicked expression, and she looks genuinely grateful.
Steven was under the impression that this would be the last thing he ever did, and he used it to make sure that Peridot wouldn’t die never knowing she was loved. And that is so amazing to me.
Also people keep making jokes that she said “wow, thanks.” And it is funny but you guys need to understand that:
Steven told peridot before, “…I want you to feel nice! That’s what gifts are for. You give them to your friends to show you care. And they go ‘wow, thanks!’” She knew he was showing her he cared in the most important way, and this was her best way of showing her gratitude.
