Peridot trying to get someone to notice and play with her: On my better days,  sometimes I want to play with my youngest sister (my other sister is a spoiled brat by now), and when she doesnt want to play with me and wants to play with my other little sister instead, I get angry and want to antagonize my other sister.

Am inviting Peri to a party and popping a balloon that looks like her face: If I could, I would do that. I like joking around with friends and family.

'''Giving nicknames Weren't we supposed to, I dunno, DROP THIS?! : '''like I said, I give a lot or nicknames. Not just to dogs, but friends+family too (not trying to sy that my dogs ARENT part of the family, trust me they are).

Shapeshifting into someone: Like Amethyst, if I had the ability to shapeshift, I would probably use it to irritate or have fun with someone. I cant see a situation where I, or anyone, could use shapeshifting or flirting. If I could shapeshift into someone that likes it, I probably would. Okay, let's talk about the shapeshifting here. You would use that ability mostly to irritate someone, right? You also said that if you knew someone liked it, you probably would shapehift into them. I think... you just gave me some more pieces of evidence! Pearl obviously DOESN'T like shapeshifting, yet Amethyst did that anyways. Why? Yes, to annoy her. Amethyst had no idea that Peridot liked or disliked shapeshifting. She just assumed that Peridot would be flattered, which is what happened.

She shapeshifted into Steven to play a game. Again, for his amusement, but I think we've already established that Amethyst and Steven have a sibling-like relationship. She shapeshifted into Pearl to annoy her. She shapeshifted into Rose to upset Greg. She shapeshifted into Peridot for the sake of flattering her. It's clear that Amethyst and Peridot aren't like family. They don't know very much about each other. Everybody still has a lot to learn about Peridot, even Steven.

Peridot trying to get Amethyst to notice and "play" with her? Again, Peridot and Amethyst, or ANY of the Crystal Gems, don't know much about each other yeat. Especially during "Too Far". That follows a common "notice me senpai!" trope. Again, often used in anime, which Steven Universe is heavily inspired by. Amethyst knows a lot abou Pearl. Amethyst knows a lot about all the Crystal Gems. Not that much about Peridot. As I said several posts ago, the two could teach each other quite a bit about their worlds.

Balloon? Peridot is not Amethyst's family. I think most people, especially people looking from a non-biased perspective, would say that the Crystal Gems are like a family. I mean, we do give all the gems "mom" nicknames.

Oh, and the nicknames thing again? I was using it in a different context. I was not talking about how Amethyst uses nicknames, I was talking about how I use nicknames.

All in all, Peridot is still a mystery to everyone. What makes her so great is that there's a lot to learn about her. Since Peridot was only with th Crystal Gems for a little over a month, they're probably not very used to her. Amethyst IS used to Pearl. Pearl has been a Crystal Gem for longer than Amethyst has been alive. She's known her for her whole life. Peridot, however, is someone new.
