What do you think the relationship between Amethyst and Peridot is? Aquaintences? Friends? Enemies? You seem to think that Peridot has a one-sided crush on Amethyst. Therefore, you seem to be slightly changing what this thread is about. It's not "Does Amethyst Have Romantic Feelings Towards Peridot?" it "Do Amethyst and Peridot Have Romantic Feelings?" It seems that most of what we are talking about is how Amethyst likes or does not like Peridot. It isn't really even here. So, to everyone on this thread: let's talk about each gem's feelings equally, okay? I'm starting to feel like this thread is getting a bit uneven... Okay then.

Like I said, Peridot has shown capabilities of liking Amethyst. But they do not seem to be necessarily romantic. She treats Amethyst the way she does because she is a higher-up. She gave compliments to Yellow Diamond as well, even saying that she is flawless. She doesn't necessarily love her, more respects her and wants to be on her good side,  being a higher up she could be shattered by Amethyst at any time. She saved Ame's life because they were friends at that point; I would save a friend, even if it meant my own death. There you go. ''"She treats Amethyst the way she does because she is a higher-up." ''That WAS true, she respected Amethyst the most before Too Far because she was a quartz. But now after Too Far, she seems like her for who she is. "She doesn't necessarily love her, more respects her and want to be on her good side, being a higher up she could be shattered by Amethyst at any time." That is far from true. Peridot does respect her but has shown to like her romantically and as a friend, not just as being a quartz or a team member.'' "She saved Ame's life because they were friends at that point ; I would save a friend, even if it meant my own death." ''Yes but she ended up on top of her. ON TOP OF HER. It would've been shrugged off if she was on the side of her but she ended up on top of her. 1. She has also shown to treat the Diamonds similarly, even going as far as saying they are perfect, flawless beings. She smiles when YD made a compliment on Peridot's mission. She obviously doesn't have to love them romantically to treat them that way, they just have to be higher than her on the caste system. It is like wanting an 8th grader to notice you; so they can stand by your side and protect you from being bullied.

2. Because she landed on top of her? Like we discussed, Peridot also follows the tsundere trope, not just to Steven, but to the rest of the CG as well. See? There are different tropes she goes by, not just to Amethyst. Plus, love didn't make her fall on top of Ame, gravity did. 1. Just because she treats YD one way doesn't mean she'll treat Ame the same way

2. Have you not read the anime trope where the protoganist falls on their love interest while saving them?
