now that you mention it, kinda sounds like something that will happen eventually

Jasper: https://65.media.tumblr.com…

a huge part of Jasper character development in Season 5 will be learning how to shapeshift a second head so she can attach another helmet to it. I'm calling it now!

If Lion was a corrupted gem what Lion looks like would matter very little, since corrupted gem monsters don't really seem to obey any sort of gendered design.

I think it's transmitted through the mind, and since fusions share one it would make sense for Jasper to get corrupted after fusing with a corrupted gem.

it could become a brick joke later that his was there all along and Steven didn't notice it. It feels like something that could happen.

Honestly, I'm still skeptical that Rose shattered or hurted Pink Diamond in any way, if that's the case I really don't know what is going on with Pearl flaunting the Pink Diamond suit and a fusion (Sardonyx) using it too. More likely that both Rose and PD rebelled against Homeworld, but Pink Diamond betrayal was a…

it was one of the funniest things, specially as character building - showing Peridot surprisingly abstract and thoughtful pieces of art, and Lapis straightforward and more literal pieces.

Jasper forcing fusion with the corrupted gem monster was probably one of the most disturbing things of the series, specially when the monster struggled to escape and she tried to hold it back. The show created so many nuanced and strong metaphors around fusion as an embodiment of relationships and intimacy (be they…

The things is that Pearl still uses the Pink Diamond suit, which being a gem that can alter her clothing like others ( see this ep. dress - https://s-media-cache-ak0.p… ) is quite weird.

Oh, I see, well considering her comment about how she was the one who was the most Crystal Gem of all, I think I have an idea of what she possibly could think of Sapphire. It's worth exploring.

The Crystal Gems barely won, though. If you pay attention it seems that what finished the war was the corruption wave by the Diamonds, probably as a way to end things quickly as possible (taking Homeworld gems in the process) so the Rebellion could be over and would not spread through other gem colonies. That's at…

She knows Garnet is a fusion, and probably know what gems she is made of.

I'm pretty sure most gems inside the cluster are Crystal Gems, given their reaction when Steven tells them reforming would destroy earth.

this post is about how some gems are racially coded, tho

It was something that passed through my mind while watching the episode…I'll wait to see what the black women watching the show think about it, though.

Why Pearl space outfit still bears a Pink Diamond tho?

another popular theory is that Lion is Greg's cat that Steven question him about in Maximum Capacity - "Seriously, when did you even have a cat?!"

Wow, that actually is a pretty good headcanon, it turns what could be a purely selfless act of "sparing" them from an ugly truth to something that adds a lot of depth to Rose. Of course it could be both.

An Amethyst arc is long overdue, tbh. I feel like as a character she has been neglected the same development Garnet and Pearl received, and as you said, the new characters received.
