Imagine the Topazes struggling with the fact that they were literally Made For Each Other and trying to have no more than the strictly necessary loyalty and comradeship for each other (because deep down every gem wants to believe they’re more than their making), but also as they fall in love they’re forever scared the other is only in it because partnership is demanded of them

tfw a character is too relatable
Damn it, this is legitimately my new favourite Steven Universe song. I can’t even bring myself to edit it. It’s all just so powerful.
Also to confirm, yes Pearl in a tux has killed me, I am a hollow shell of a person, and simultaneously I have never felt more alive
If you’re still doing the character ask box meme, how about Ruby?
SURE
Why they are the best
SHE’S MY PERFECT SMOL HOTHEAD. I love the particular way she has self worth issues, how she’s similar to Pearl but still so different, I love that she was willing to die for Sapphire but ultimately her rebellion is LIVING with her.
Why they are the worst
IT’S A ROUGH TIME WHEN YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IS MOSTLY HALF OF ANOTHER CHARACTER
a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
THIS IS HARD BECAUSE SU IS SUCH A TIGHTLY WRITTEN SHOW, there’s really not anything that feels out of place or uncomfortable with Ruby
a non-canon fact (that should be)
I reeeeaaally want her to have had feelings for Sapphire for a while before The Answer takes place.
a piece of advice I would give them
WORK ON LOVING YOURSELF AS FIERCELY AS YOU LOVE OTHERS.
SAPPHIRE: what would you do if someone tried to separate us
RUBY: i’d refuse
SAPPHIRE: hahaha
RUBY: hahaha
oh man what if the reason rubies are made so small and then fuse to fight is to discourage autonomy? Like, Ruby says that fusion feels just like her but bigger, and while I’m sure that’s partly being the same gem, that also seems like she has a skewed sense of self (esp. since we see lots of variation in Pearl personalities in the three we saw). If she’s been told they’re all the same, and she has to spend so much time fused, it’s no wonder she has so little self worth, and possibly has a hard time seeing herself as an individual until becoming Garnet introduces her to something so different and changing the future proves she can do something literally no one else could do.
