time to bring back the old explanation. man, its been awhile! here goes:

There is a natural set of rules for all fusions.

Here's an example:

''Opal has four arms because Amethyst and Pearl like each other as friends. Opal has two eyes because they are a good match for friendship on their own, without anyone else.'' ''So, we all know that Rainbow quartz has two arms because Pearl was salty for Rose. Rose may not have returned Pearl's feelings, but it doesnt have to be two-way for two gems to share arms when fused. They are not a good match in the context of the arms, which is romantic, however, so Rainbow Quartz has four eyes.''

''Since Pearl is not salty for Steven, (gross!) the fusion that they form, which will probably not be called Rainbow Quartz, will have four arms, because of platonic love. Whether they are platonically a good mix on their own only is up for the Crewniverse to decide. If they are, the fusion will have two eyes. If they aren't, the fusion will have four eyes.'' I would've thought this obvious. Extras:

''Garnet has one pair of arms because Ruby and Sapphire are interested in each other romantically. She would have only two eyes, since they're a great match in the context of her arms: romantically, but Sapphire's eye has to do the job of two: seeing in 3D. On top of that, it also has Future Vision. Because of this, Sapphire's eye is structured so differently than the average eye that it is basically like a different body part altogether. Therefore, it simply cannot combine with Ruby's eyes.''

''Sugilite has four arms because Amethyst and Ruby like each other, but not romantically. The same goes for Amethyst and Sapphire. Their eyes do not combine because they wouldn't get along alone, but they do get along well with each other when with the other Crystal Gems. Ruby and Amethyst are very similar in that they are both set off into violent tempers in which they can "both get carried away," because they are very passionate, so their arms partly fuse, like a mix between platonic interest and love: platonic love: sisterly love. Amethyst and Ruby are similar enough and friendly enough towards each other to be sisters.''

''Sardonyx has four arms because Sapphire and Pearl like each other as friends. The same goes for Ruby and Pearl, who are similar (very much in love and dedicated to a certain person, who is different for each, and often very selfless; also sometimes not realizing the way others feel) and friendly enough towards each other to be sisters. Therefore, they partly share a pair of arms. When arms are only partly fused, they are like fragments. Fragments can be slightly misplaced in fusions. This is why Sardonyx has a pair of arms on her waist instead of connected to her upper armpits. (Sugilite has a less dramatic version of this, as well. It is less dramatic because Ruby and Pearl are more similar than Ruby and Amethyst.) She would have five eyes, except that Pearl's gem is in the way. It is most likely closed permanently underneath it.''

''Malachite has three arms because Lapis and Jasper do not like each other. if they wanted to kill each other, there would be four arms. Obviously this is not a healthy relationship, so Malachite has four eyes.''

Do you (finally) get it now?
