Nightly Discussion #212

Opal has returned! 'Log Date 7 15 2' was a really great end to the bomb. It was great to see her again, even for just a few moments. I wonder if she wandered off after Garnet said to take a break, because she just forgot what she was supposed to be doing. Steven would get worried and Garnet would tell him it's fine. Then Pearl and Amethyst would wake up somewhere else and not now how they got there. Does that seem like a realistic scenario? Do you have any Opal headcanons?

Fan Theory: Garnet and the Cluster

So the cluster is a really messed up experiment, nobody will argue that. Homeworld took the shards of dead Crystal Gem warriors and smashed them together in an attempt at a super fusion. Garnet was upset that Homeworld used fusion in that way, understandably. But what if, unbeknownst to her, Garnet was actually the catalyst that set off the cluster experiments?

What if Homeworld saw how much stronger she was than fusions with the same gem? After all, 3 rubies fused together is just a larger ruby. Garnet actually gains powers, such as electricity, when fused. Not only that, but she seems to be much bigger and stronger than 3 rubies combined could ever be. So what if Homeworld tried to replicate that, by fusing gem shards together, in an attempt to make super soldiers?

Review - Steven Universe: The Answer

There's been a lot to say about the reveal of Garnet's origin and perhaps the first ever meeting of Ruby and Sapphire. The barn arc continues, but it doesn't appear to be over yet. And still, there's so much to theorize on! How long were they split apart after their first fusion? How long did it take to form the current version of Garnet? Did the fusion of Garnet lead to Rose and Pearl eventually fusing into Rose Quartz? Lots of fanfic fuel, if you ask me. Read the article below for another review of the episode!

Gem Grumps: Gal Pals

Ruby and Sapphire are amazing gal pals. I'm glad they're such great friends. :)

Comic: Squad / Wingmen / Similar Taste

Imagine if the other two ruby's we saw that weren't our Ruby acted as wing-men to help Ruby meet Sapphire? Or if they just made fun of her for liking Sapphy? Check out some ruby comics!
