I think it is cool that both Ruby and Sapphire's elemental powers represent a part of Garnet's personality with Ruby representing Garnet's Fiery aggressiveness and sapphire representing Garnet's Ice cool calmness. And in a way when they split up because they couldn't agree with each other about Pearl for a while, it was a good thing. If anything it probably makes their fusion stronger. In a romantic relationship two people deeply love each other, however if you are constantly together all the time then eventually you will start to get on each other's nerves. So sometimes you need a little time apart from each other and in a way it will make you appreciate each other more. Ruby said to sapphire at the end that while they are not fused, she is able to look into her eye, and she kisses her. And they fuse together again with an even stronger relationship than before,

The fact that Garnet and Rainbow Quartz are the only fusions not to have multiple arms probably indicates that they are the most stable fusions mainly because of how the Gems who make up the fusions feel about each other. I also think in a way it was very brave of the creators and cartoon network to show a romatic relationship between two characters who take the form of females because all Gems except Steven while they don't technically have a gender, take the form of females and use female pronouns. Seriously from watching this show I have gained a lot of respect for Same sex relationships.

And in most cartoons some concentrate more on action while some concentrate more on comedy (although some cartoons that I will not name do this very poorly), however Steven Universe concentrates on Character development. Steven Universe is unique in a way that most cartoons do not put character development first before action or comedy and the fact that it is actually more adult than most actual adult cartoons makes it such a beautiful show. Huh so you do not need a bunch of unnecessary gore, gross out and toilet humour for a show to feel more mature.

I also love the fact that Greg is not an idiotic dad, which is a tired trope used in a lot of other cartoons. I loved how Keystone was although quaint, Greg acknowledges that there are some pretty shady parts to the place and some pretty shady people too. It was a good setting and a change of pace from Beach City. And although Garnet is still mad at Pearl, she is actually talking to her instead of ignoring her, Ruby and Sapphire managed to make a compromise with each other on how they felt about Pearl after what she did and what is the best way to move forward. Pearl is genuinely sorry for what she did and In time Garnet will forgive Pearl and we will probably see Sardonyx again. Can't wait to see more of this Stevenbomb and see how the Characters progress. You forgot Stevonnie Oh yeah Stevonnie...............Sorry dude I just saw the promo for the next episode Onion friend... yeesh Onion, I like Amethyst too but jesus. But yeah stevonnie is a stable fusion as well because of the Strong feelings Steven and Connie have for each other.
