1. Yes. I agree with this statement. BUT it does not disprove Amedot in any way, shape, or form and it shouldn't be used as "evidence" that Pearlmethyst is/ will be canon.

2. Like I said, it's Steven's nature to trust people. Why did Amethyst choose to hang out with Peridot through the interactions in Log Date 7 15 2? Yes, of course, it could definitely be curiosity, and it probably mostly is. But Amethyst is more interested in Peridot than Pearl and Garnet. Steven doesn't have much to do on the drill, since he is a kid afterall. But Amethyst was definitely helping with the drill more than Steven. Amethyst is proabably interested in Peridot because she is so different from herself. And in Steven Universe it's always opposites attract. (Ruby, fire, and Sapphire, ice. Rose, warrior, and Greg, peaceful and laid-back. Sadie, caring and kind, and Lars, jerky and rude.)

3. Again, like I said. Amethyst was annoyed. And Garnet is her family. When flirting with someone, you usually don't do something huge. To Amethyst, shape-shifting might have been a good idea. When trying to impress your family you might to something a bit bigger, or at least I would.

4. Nicknames for your dog? Haha, me too. I give a lot of nicknames for my dog. Yes, there is NO CHANCE that you would have a crush on your dog. But there is a chance you may have a crush on your friend. And, as Gaia pointed out, everyone's different. Amethyst has been shown to use nicknames a a sign of affection, whether you like it or not.

Anyways, I feel like with all this shipping fuel the Crewniverse has put into the past few episodes, it won't mean nothing. There have been MANY hints to the relationship. I don't think that's going to be wasted. THIS! These two below are the things I agree with the most!

Ruby and Sapphire are opposites (Ruby has a temper and relates to fire, Sapphire is calm and relates to ice) Connie and Steven are kinda opposites (Steven is social, Connie isn't),  Rose and Greg are opposites (Rose is a gem and is a warrior, Greg is a human and is peaceful), Sadie and Lars are opposites (Sadie is caring and kind, Lars is a jerk), and Peridot and Amethyst are opposites (Amethyst is the class clown, and Peridot is the nerd). All of these pairings are basically confirmed canon (excecpt for Amedot). So that just kinda points out that Amedot has a high chance of becoming canon.

Yes, and my biggest issue with I ship Stevidot's posts on this thread is that he/she keeps pointing out that Amethyst's nicknames mean nothing. Like, how do you know? You're not Amethyst! Amethyst's nicknames for others cough cough PERIDOT, may have a different meaning. I'm refuting two things at once holy moley. Also, I didnt mean to exclude Jasper and Lapis! I'm sorry! I forgot!

1. I am not saying that it proves Amedot will be canon, nor am I saying that Pearlmethyst is. I am comparing the scenes to eachother, and I was talking to Gaia; they said that Amethyst and Pearl HATED eachother, when they did not.

2. Or it could be because 'I want you to understand. I want to understand". Remember that? Amethyst could think that she is not all bad, like Steven did/does. In fact, considering the way she acts towards Ame, what if Amethyst uses Peridot as a relief, as a sign that SHE IS NOT ALL BAD? She gives good advice to Peri, too, as she had done to Steven (though an indirect one) "no one is better at being you than you". It's obvious that she cares for Peridot, but just doesn't seem like she cares romantically. She seems like her usual self around Peridot, except more like Season 1.

3. She was originally punning and shapeshifting in front of Pearl; remember what the guide said, "...maybe she does it because it drives Pearl crazy." I guess she found out that Pearl found it quite humorous this time, or at least found the act stale, and directed all the attention at Peridot. Also, the way you make it sound, like Rose and Greg are COMPLETE opposites. In fact, they were careless when they wanted to be, and even in the war Rose cared for others. She is a defensive quartz, and 'warrior' is not a personality trait (that would be like saying lieutendant was a personality trait).

4. You are right, neither of us know what Amethyst uses nicknames for. But wouldnt it be hypocritical to use it as evidence, when you also do not know what she uses it for?

Now, back at Gaia, whose post seemed to be more directed at me than anyone else.

1.'This kinda points out that Amedot is just more likely for being canon'. Because of an archetype? Nay nay, you left bunches of similarities out. You took one behavioral characteristic and left it at that. Look at the similarities:

-Ruby and Sapphire: They care deeply for eachother, they care for the other Crystal Gems, they are curious about the Earth, they would risk their lives for Earth, they can feel and express feelings when they are pushed past their limit, they feel similiar to certain situations and they only want the best for Steven.

-Connie and Steven: they are great friends, they are not afraid of showing emotions, they care deeply for eachother, they love the same books, they have families who care for them, they want only the best for one another, they are not afraid to show affection.

-Rose and Greg: both care for eachother, they both love Earth, they both feel love, they are happy with each other and show contempt with eachother, and are willing to help eachother.

-Sadie and Lars: they both can be jerks.

-Amethyst and Peridot: do not want to destroy the Earth, they feel insecure.

Ame and Peri have only 2 personality traits in common; they feel insecure and do not want to destroy Earth. This is comparably large only to Larsadie, whose only trait in common is that they CAN BOTH BE JERKS. (NOTE: I am using caps for emphasis, not to seem like I am yelling).

2. How do you know Amethyst's nicknames DO mean something? You dont. If I cant use my evidence for what her nicknames mean because I never met her, driven truth serum in her, and make her say that nicknames are something or nothing, then you cant say that they are evidence for romance because, as you said, we dont know what her nicknames mean.

Bah. 2. Not to mention the fact that given that beginning of sympathy create warm emotions of relation and aid, an appreciation for being able to relate and help. Not to mention, she represents Homeworld values at forst, as opposed to amethysts Earth values. So the relation is oppositional, not personality wise, but perspective wise. Perspectives that respectively despise the other, and amethyst isn't changing that soon, and peridot's changing of the perspective is dubious.

3. Or it could combine amethysts innate insecurity of her form to justify shapeshifting along with peridots desire to know what these animals are. That makes sense, and explains what happenned. As for greg and rose, they are actually very similar. The main difference is that Rose is just a little more intense from time to time. Otherwise, they are caring, accepting, etc.

4.Amethysts nicknames have never shown any proven emotional connection before. Furthermore, IRL, nicknames can be used negatively, teasingly, positively, reminiscently, affectionately, etc. There are so many different options, presuming one type without indeniable proof would be very loose evidence.
