A recovered bubbled gem (only because  I believe the centipeetle has such a good story plus sardonyx can be green (check the sardonyx page)

A homeworld gem rebel (only because rushing into a week of trouble doesn't sound like a good idea if this gem happens to be from homeworld and isn't a rebel)

A male pronoun gem (who doesn't want that)

A fusion experiment success. (I only imagine this because a forced fusion was horrible and a successfull experiment would lack an identity going to the gems for help (a gem worthy of a week) all those clashing personalities reinvented into another completely different being could be interesting)

Or a Crystal gem who survived the war? (Sounds worthy of a week to me how did she survive where has she been why didn't she return to the temple good questions)

Sardonyx  is such a mystery I refuse to believe she'll be a let down like a fusion between pearl and garnet or any of the crystal gems only a completely new gem would be worthy of a week 1: probably not (not a concept/story worth a whole week of time)

2: no. something like that just isnt likely.

3: no. i dont want that, and others have said the same. you have steven, there are lots of male characters in su and there are litterally dozens of other shows with plenty of male lead charactrers and male pivotal characters. let us (everyone whos not cis male like nonbinary people/demigender people/trans people/agender people or even just regular girls, have this one show where maybe things swing just a lttle in our favour for once.) (besides the only reason steven is male is because the only part of him that can have a gender is the dna from his dad. gems dont have a gender so he couldnt inherit one from rose. 0+1 = 1)

4: i doubt it. if its a fusion at all that's worth a whole week of episodes, it will be the peridot jasper fusion - we need to a, locate malachite, b, defeat them and unfuse lapsi and jasper, c, have jasper and peridot meet up and then fuse.

theres a link in my earl13r comment that gives you a post that tells you the reasons that sardonyx is probably a peridotjasper fusion. but here it is again: http://sheepgoof.tumblr.com/post/121994416322/so-who-is-sardonyx

5: unlikely. greg said it himself: in the end, rose could only save a handful of her closest fr13nds. that means that roses forces were probably mass-wiped out at the end of the war by some kind of huge horrible weapon or the like and rose could only rescue five or six. other than that one bubbled gem in lions mane which is probably bismuth and probably not sardonyx, i think that just means the crystla gems we know and love today.

any qustions? 1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a male gem. There is only one male gem, and hes not even a full gem. If you really want equality in shows then there would be more male gems to even out all the female gems.

2. Gemology has little to no effect in the show, just because two gems share similar qualities, doesnt mean they are in anyway related. Example: Jasper is a type of quartz, rose quartz is a type of quartz, they do not go together in the show, they are enemies in fact.

3.  There is absolutely no evidence for a mass extenction of gems on earth, the CGs won the war and drove the homeworld gems off earth, there could have been captured or AWOL gems that could come back. 'in the end rose could only save a handful of her friends'

rose's method of rescuing people? healing, but thats kind of retrospective, and her tears probably arent limitless. so the wording there would be 'keep' or 'continue being with' etc.

any more? oh right. her shield. there. now we're on the money. whats wrong with her shield? it can only fit several people behind it. even at it's biggest. so in conclusion:

rose only saved the people that would fit behind her shield. if it wasnt a wide-spread death ray she would have healed the wounded. what happens when the wounded cant be healed? death. ( i know its ruthless, but you know what? sometimes hard decisions must be made.)

the gems that became the monsters? gems not involved in the war or gems from the other side that got stuck on earth. why havent the crystal gems become monsters? people and gems too lose their sanity if theyre alone for too long or damaged or freak out in some way. the gem monsters probably became monsters because they didnt have the power of friendship to keep them happy and healthy.
