Talk:Ruby (Eyeball)/@comment-3965346-20161124033527/@comment-30593021-20161125044711

me to have the feeling that once the Ruby Squad gets rescued and redeemed, Eyeball will be the Ruby Squad member who will be the closest to Steven, I think she'll almost be like the season 4/season 5 version of Lapis Lazuli except she'll won't grow close to Steven right away, it will happen over time. I mean, the Crystal Gems tricked the Ruby Squad a few times so their trust with them has been diminished so there's no way Eyeball will start trusting Steven right away. Maybe, Eyeball will eventually learn to trust Steven, seeing that things are different now. She might eventually learn that she doesn't need a Pearl and many fans to be happy, I think it's clear why she wants a Pearl and to be a legand, she hungers for love and just wants attention and to be cared about. Remember how she the reacted whenever she sees an act of love? She got all sad the first time and the second time....

Back to the Moon 139

She cried.

Looks like she wants it really bad if caused her to cry like that. And the third time will only cause a bigger reaction (she went from getting sad to crying, just imagine how the third time will look like, it will probably be a bigger reaction since crying is a bigger reaction than just getting sad), like maybe she'll just be crying hard, like how a child would, crying her eye out, basically she has an emotional breakdown and just starts crying, like she's really crying, where it can be heard and everyone will notice it and be like "why are you crying, Ruby/Eyeball (if Steven asks the question)?" or "why is she crying?".

So, I think we already know the reason why Eyeball wants to be a legend and get a Pearl, she wants love and actually hungers for it to the point where she just feels starved of love, deprived of love and she believes that it will satisfy her and fulfill her need of love, even though there are other ways she can get it, like realizing she others who care about her (I bet the other Ruby Squad members care about her, I have a theory that they're almost like a family, and that Eyeball, Doc, Army, and Navy are like sisters and Leggy is like Eyeball's baby, and Eyeball is Leggy's caregiver, although Eyeball isn't motherly towards Leggy, I think she is Leggy's caregiver because Leggy hung around her and grabbed onto her in their debut, Hit the Diamond and since Leggy was confirmed to be one day old in that episode, one day old is new, so she's basically a baby gem, and since she was hanging around Eyeball, it leads me to believe that Eyeball is her caregiver since Leggy is a brand new gem and it's a given that little babies only want to be with their mothers and no one else, I think it's same way with Leggy, she's a brand new gem, so she has the desire to with her caregiver, which is Eyeball like how little babies have the desire to be with their mothers and no one else, so, who she was hanging around with in Hit the Diamond is her caregiver, no question about it), even though the other Ruby Squad members don't show it, they probably care about her. Maybe, she'll eventually get more friends who care about her, that's where Steven comes in. Steven is very caring and Eyeball might be happy to see that there's someone who cares about her, in this case, Steven. Also, Steven feels bad what he did to her so he already cares about her.

Maybe when the Ruby Squad gets rescued, Steven will have a chance to set things right, show them that things are different now, and then bond with them and change them then it eventually results in them having a friendship with Steven, and Eyeball growing the closest to Steven compared to the others.

Eyeball growing the closest to Steven makes sense since she's had the most focus compared to the other Ruby Squad members and had a whole episode about her and Steven, Bubbled. She may end up being like Lapis friendship-wise but might have a different type of relationship with Steven, I mean Lapis and Steven are already like siblings and best friends and since Eyeball's an older, fully matured gem, she might not have a sibling-like relationship with Steven, it will be different, I'm thinking they'll have more of an aunt/nephew-type relationship. Also, I see redeemed Eyeball acting like aunt to Steven, along with Doc, Army, and Navy, they all seem like the aunt-type if they get redeemed with Leggy being like Steven's baby cousin (I'm saying "baby cousin" because Leggy's a brand new gem, she was one day old in Hit the Diamond and is probably a few weeks old in Back to the Moon, so, she's basically a baby gem so "baby cousin" sounds right for Leggy) if Leggy gets redeemed along with the others but her redemption won't take much since she's a brand new gem, it doesn't take much for a baby because babies have only existed for a short period of time and they're still really young and they have a huge window of time to grow and learn, so Leggy can easily be influenced since she's like a baby. Also, for Navy it won't take much either because she already loves everything, but the others will probably be about as hard as Peridot redemption-wise.

Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if it came to Eyeball being the closest to Steven after she gets redeemed. I can see her acting like an aunt to him and even protecting when he's in danger.
