Alright, today I will be discussing why Garnet is most likely not a fusion gem. I will be adressing the arguments as I go.

"But she has two gems!"

This argument is so old, yet there's one word to debunk this- symmetry- think about it, if Garnet only had a gem on one hand, she would only have her weapon on one hand, which would be extremely inconvienient. To add, while Amethyst's and Pearl's gem align in the center of their bodies, Garnet's are on two opposite sides of her body.

''"But she's so tall!" ''

Being tall does not equate to being a fusion. As a matter of fact, in order for Garnet to be a fusion, there'd have to be two gems of about Steven's size *Stevonnie is a good example of this*, and they'd each have to have one arm and one leg, so it's not very likely she's a fusion.

"But Stevonnie has two legs and arms!"

Here's the thing- Stevonnie is only 25% gem, meaning they only have 25% of the magical traits a gem would have. Since Connie is fully human, and Steven is half human, this equates to the fusion being 75% human, meaning it'd have many traits different from a gem. For example, the arms and legs. Also, it isn't shown that Stevonnie is able to shapeshift, not even at Steven's level *shapeshifting fingers*. She also doesn't have the gem trademark of having a pallette based on their gem type. That's why Stevonnie actually looks more like a fusion than the other gems, because it's more like a human where it gets 50% of the traits from one parent and 50% from the other.

"But she has 3 eyes!"

Once again, that would require two gems, one a cyclops, one with two eyes, and if a cyclops gem is normal, how is having 3 eyes not?

"But that one image!"

Rebecca Sugar, in my opinion, is a clever, smart woman. She would never make the fusion so blatant. I'm thinking it's probably fanservice to get the fans talking. That way, while they're making more episodes, fans have something to speculate on.

I can add futher evidence but this is as far as I want to go for now
