I think it might be self conciousness or something. Pearl thinks she's perfect as she is, so she never needs to shapeshift. Amy hates herself and shapeshifts all the time.

You are an experience!
Make sure you're a good experience.
The final preview there (:siren: mega spoilers :siren:) really hammers home the "Garnet splits into her constituent Gems" thing, with Steven calling out for Amethyst and Pearl but not Garnet.

It's gonna be crazy!

I'm gonna guess it's either that A) She's real bad at it or B) she's way too good at it.

(A) makes sense since she's a perfectionist and seemed to really want to avoid the subject in the shape shifting episode.

(B) maybe she shape shifts and also starts to mimic the targets thoughts and personality and slowly loses her own.

Pearl and Garnet fusion is overrated, Pearl and defused half of garnet, Amethyst and defused other half of Garnet is where it's at. Combinatorics!

I've imagined that she would seem perfectly balanced and well-reasoned at first and Steven would wonder why they don't fuse more often until she starts plotting to conquer the world.

"It's the only way to make things right, Steven. If we rule the world, then everything will be nice and orderly."

I personally think pearl and garnets protectiveness of steven would be the dominant thing in the fusion

Like imagine if pearl just got a little of garnets bad things that could happen vision.

The Pearl + Garnet fusion may be the thing I'm most looking forward to seeing, whenever it happens. Which I hope is soon. It was always odd to me how they revealed the three-way fusion before their fusion, I wonder if there's a reason for that or if it doesn't mean anything. I think she might be detached and logical to the point of being cold and ruthless. What Acne Rain said sounds plausible too.

Man, I really can't wait for Monday. You know something is awesome when you actually want the weekend to be over. Some speculation regarding Ruby and Sapphire - I bet Sapphire is going to be a sweet, socially awkward seer with one eye, while Ruby is a curt, aggressive fighter. Or, because SU likes messing with expectations, their personalities could be swapped. Also maybe Ruby won't have arms, to explain why Garnet only has 2.

I've thought long and hard about it and I've decided that one of the fusioned Gems wears a poncho :3:

I reckon it'll be based on Pearl's energy-shot thing and be wrist-mounted rockets.


edit: Plus I had Claws and Hammer pegged for Garnet's two halves.

Garnet+Pearl (Chalcopyrite?) obviously has a massive gently caress-off jousting lance with a fist at the end.

Not that it matters, because she wouldn't even use a weapon, she'd do stone cold Bodhidharma poo poo like destroying a mountain by staring at it for one week straight.

I'm still wondering what the hell Lion actually is, seems like it's Rose's familiar but I'm baffled as to why the other gems didn't know about it. I think it's definitely going to factor into Steve's training with Rose's sword, it already took Steven to a combat training ground once before after all.

In one episode, Greg seems to recognize Lion but Pearl hushes him.

So, this has probably been mentioned before, but I just noticed that back in Rose's Room Amethyst turned on this sound signal device that broke Steven's tv when he got the golfbound secret ending. Any chance that's what got Peridot's attention to start sending her robots?

No chance. The Red Eye was one of hers, and that was in Laser Light Cannon, the second episode.

While I don't think Connie is going to be harmed physically in any way, something tells me she's going to get her heart or feeling crushed by the end of all of this. She's too close to the family to be left completely unscathed, but I doubt they'll injure a young kid who's pretty much just a bystander.

I'm thinking that after everything settles, or even before it settles, her parents decide to pack up and leave for good, forbidding her from contacting Steven every again because he/his life is just too dangerous. After all, their family's whole thing is safety. And it's not very hard to figure out that the Universe's are not very safe to be around.
