Fusion is very important to her
Fusion IS EVERYTHING to her
It’s what she IS
If the lyrics of the extended theme song are anything to go by, back home fusion is looked down on. On Earth she’s free to exist as the combination of Ruby and Sapphire
“I will fight for the place where I’m free/to live together and exist as me”
In “Keeping It Together” She was emotionally destroyed to see what Homeworld thought of fusions and the mockery they made of it with the Gem Cluster, and it nearly made them destabilize…
and now…
In Garnet’s eyes, her own friends don’t even respect fusion. They only see it as a way to make themselves feel important and strong. Pearl and Amethyst see fusion as a means to their own end.
She feels they don’t respect fusion
She feels they don’t respect HER…
MAN this is super good and important and i love it.
to garnet, fusion is an honest, genuine, mutual union – it means the world to her. to realize that pearl had dishonest motives behind it, that it WASN’T equal or genuine, that pearl – in a way strikingly similar to the homeworld’s methods – was using it as a way to feel stronger, without considering garnet’s feelings…. yeah, god, that must hurt. it hurts so much that the only way she can feel about it is livid, without realizing what it really meant to pearl.
yes, she used garnet, and that was wrong no matter how you look at it – but she did it because of her feelings for her. she was just so desperate for that unity and wholeness and all that garnet believes fusion is for. it wasn’t really about power at all – it was about feeling safe and loved and yes, strong, but not physically, emotionally.
but as garnet said, the key to fusion is ‘get open. get honest’. and pearl didn’t. pearl exploited her emotionally, in a way that must’ve hit all the deeper after the events of keeping it together.
god, this is such a beautiful, devastating mess.
Pearl took advantage of Garnet’s trust
Amethyst kept the truth secret until the last second instead of confronting them immediately and privately
Garnet pressured Amethyst into fusing when she was uncomfortable with it at the moment
All three gems fucked up tonight don’t put everthing on one
OKAY BUT I’M ALL HERE FOR RUBY SO CONSUMED WITH FEAR OF HER CRUSH ON SAPPHIRE BEING DISCOVERED THAT SHE COMPLETELY OVER-LOOKS THE NINETY MILLION FUCKING NEON SIGNS THAT SAPPHIRE IS IN LOVE WITH HER 100 FUCKING %
That’s right, Garnet and Pearl appear in Batgirl. Guess we know who DC ships.
yes because two people standing together totally makes them a couple.
LET THE SHIPPERS DREAM!!!!!
GARNET HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO ONLY BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GARNET. SHE IS LITTERALLY MADE UP OF TWO SPACE LESBIANS WHO DON’T WANT ANOTHER ROMANTIC PARTNER!
I found this on YouTube and it’s so amazing! You guys should check out!
THIS IS BRILLIANT!! No, really, this is phenomenal. I cried. This is—just—if you’re caught up on Steven Universe, watch this.
AnonymousAt the very least, sardonyx is the same tone that garnet was pre-jailbreak. Also, I think that Sapphire is the dominant personality in there, similar to how I think that Ruby is the dominant personality of Sugilite.
