We made an acoustic cover of Full Disclosure, and we wanted to share it with Steven Universe fans :) 

This happened on my dash and I laughed so hard XD I had to share it with you! - Taylor

A few months ago, I sketched this concept, but now that I managed to figure out how SAI works, I decided to go digital. 

…I want Smoky Quartz in Smash Bros now…

I feel like the raw power of a gem is able to be irrelevant, as a space-faring empire would be more focused on naval power. The threat was not fusion, but understanding. Homogeneous fusion is like “you but bigger,” while heterogeneous fusion results in not just a new powerful form, but a chance to feel a deep emotional connection. This kind of connection was dangerous because it would make gems realize they could unite, that they were not isolated. The diamonds keep gems alone and groups homogeneous to prevent the diffusion of ideas and to keep them in a specific mindset. TL;DR, fusion was not the danger, change was. Diamonds need gems to feel isolated.

I have a theory…

The diamonds knew about different gems fusing, and how their individual (gems’) differences made the fusion ultimately stronger.

They feared that if enough weaker/different gems fused, that they’d be overpowered if it came down to the multitude of different gems fusing against their potential 4 way fusion. They might have said that different types of gems fusing was an abomination as a form of control.

I also think that’s why they created the cluster. A number of broken (no pun intended) psyches to eventually form and destroy the planet containing the only gem to figure it out.

Rose Quartz found out, and that’s why she said Garnet was “the answer” when she asked Rose what she was upon their first meeting.

And, other theories suggest that Rose, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl fused in order to shatter Pink Diamond. 5 gems potentially fused to shatter just one diamond. How terrified would they be of 50, or 100 gems?

This might be why they buried The Cluster in the core. For a bit of irony. Yes, enough individual gems might shatter them, but shattered individuals, forced to form, would be the Earth’s demise.

So I’ve recently completely fallen in love with lapis and peridot as a ship and in doing so i’ve thought a lot about what their fusion might look like and I came up with this! (The name was a toss up between turquoise and aquamarine, but I ended up deciding on turquoise as it’s one of my personal favorite gemstones irl) HOPE YOU LIKE IT ♡

Whenever I see someone use a yo-yo as a weapon, I immediately think of Ness, because seriously, Smoky Quartz would totally main Ness in Smash.
