Before I begin, I would like to request that you all keep wild speculation to yourselves, this thread is about a theory that has very strong evidence backing it up, so I should expect the same from any rebuttal and additional points that might be made. I know a lot of you are prone to doing this kind of thing, but it's only going to lead to pointless arguments and dragged out conversations, so please refrain from doing this.

Now that that's said here's my theory: Most fusions seem to have their eye and arm count combined(2 gems 4 arms 4 eyes), but Garnet only has 3 eyes and two arms. I think this is because Garnet is what would be considered to be a "perfect fusion". This comes twofold: Ruby and Sapphire's unbreakable bond, and their gem locations(which as speculated here in the past are things that might even tie together).

Stevonnie on the other hand is a fusion between a human and a half-human/half-gem. The primary reason Stevonnie has 2 eyes and 2 arms is quite clearly due to the fusion being predominantly human. While Steven and Connie are clearly attracted to each other, I'm pretty sure both of them are prepubescent (Stevonnie's pubescence most likely being the result of a combination of their ages, much as the normal fusions appear to be a combination of the projected forms' mass, and Amethyst and Jasper both seem to have plenty of mass to spare lol(this is also why Garnet is slightly taller than Pearl)), so there's a chance they might distance themselves over time and if the writers really know what they're doing (which they definitely seem to) then they're not going to be afraid of going that route (it worked out fine for Legend of Korra after all didn't it?), but this is beside the main point here.
