Anyways, I think that Amethyst and Peridot have perfect personalities for each other. Amethyst was made on Earth, it's "everything she's ever known". Unfortunatley, she doesn't know much about Homeworld and the people who caused her existence in the first place. She probably doesn't know much more about it than Steven. Pearl and Garnet seem... reluctant... to talk about it. In "On The Run" we see that Pearl and Garnet are really kind of ashamed of where Amethyst came from, which leaves Amethyst upset, but keeping her feelings to herself.

In comes Peridot! She knows almost everything there is to know about Homeworld, but is very new to Earth. She's still learning. But she "wants to understand". Amethyst and Steven know a LOT about Earth and they can teach her a lot, in fact, they already have, although she still has a long ways to go. These two gems can teach each other a lot about stuff they don't know.

What about Steven? You might say. Yes, he was very upset about Peridot's betrayal and he became her first friend, but let me just state something: Connverse. (Look on Perlen's threads for more.) Also, there was never a "Too Far" with Peridot and Steven. 1. We don't know if Amethyst knew nothing of Homeworld. She seems to know enough that there was a dogma, and Rose was against it. She seems to know what Home world is, and that the Diamonds are leaders, Pearls are slaves, etc. It could be possible that they told her, but don't want to tell Steven in order, as Greg said, to not make him think of them as aliens who came to invade Earth. If Amethyst didn't care enough to learn about Home world, why not tell Steven as well?

2. Steven seems to be doing most of the teaching; think of Ame in Too Far as a demonstration. Steven taught her feelings, how insults can hurt, etc. Now, this Steven example leads me to... 3. You must be misreading my posts. Despite my name, I am not implying that Stevidot is, and should be canon. While I would like it to be canon, that is not the point. The point was that some of the evidence you gave me for Ame's side of Amedot could also go to Steven as well. By this definition, then Steven's behavior to Peri=similar to Amethyst's behavior to Peri=Amedot and Stevidot confirmed? No.

3. Did you think I was starting to ramble about Stevidot? Don't be confused by my name, I wasnt stating that Stevidot is and should be canon. Rather, I was comparing some of your evidence of Ame's side to Amedot to how Steven acts to Peri: Steven's behavior to Peri=Similar to Amethyst's behavior to Peri=Stevidot and Amedot cofnfirmed? No. That is my point.

And also, Connie is mortal. Just wanted to remind you ;3c

Thank you for responding, Perlendot-er, Peridot the Perky. 1. Steven knew pretty early on in the series (Warp Tour, I think) that there were a lot of really bad gems out there, trying to hurt Earth. He knew that his mother was trying to stop them, and won.

2. I was talking more to Eevee than you, sorry if that was unclear... XD. Anyways, in my opinion, I see many things Amethyst does with Peridot as flirting. While Amethyst does many of those same things with Steven, it's pretty obvious that it's out of familial love. I don't think any of the Crystal Gems, except for maybe Steven, find Peridot as part of the "family" just yet. More of like a teammate or a friend... or a crush.

But we also don't know if Steven is mortal or not... but I'm pretty sure he is.
