People who are all: “I BET RUBY IS TALKING NOW! AND NOW SAPPHIRE!”
People who are all: “GARNET IS HER OWN INDIVIDUAL PERSON WITH HER OWN SEPARATE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS.”
You guys don’t understand fusion.
Fusions can’t be easily compared to anything we know about human relationships and individuality. Pearl describes a fusion in Giant Woman as an “amalgam” which is defined as a “mix or blend.” A fusion is not a mech with copilots controlling individual actions. At the same time, a fusion does not have motives or ideas outside of the parts that make her whole. A fusion is the personification of a relationship! Garnet does have an identity, not OUTSIDE of Ruby and Sapphire, but WITHIN Ruby and Sapphire’s relationship. And that is beautiful. SHE is beautiful. Everything she does, says, and feels is them, doing, saying, and feeling together. She loves Steven because THEY love Steven, and she is the seamless entity formed out of the absolute blend of Ruby and Sapphire.
Garnet is a beautiful amalgam.
Well in that case Malachite must be ugly as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUk
