See you just had to bash Lapidot shippers. This is so stupid.
<p>Peridot is even quoted: "If I hurt my standings with the "BEST GEM" here then I have made a grave mistake." Hmm yeah she like Amethyst for Amethyst, nah she sees Amethyst as the best Gem for her ranking in homeworld.
</p><p>Ugh I really don't want to fight about this. I'm just getting annoyed with this and wish for it to stop being shoved down everyone's throats. By saying, "Experts agree that these two are an ITEM LOOK EVERYONE IT'S CANNON LOOOK!!!" That shoving it down people's throats. Posting comments on how Amedot is totatlly super cannon and that what this next episode is about is shoving it down peoples throats. Your free to say what you want but I would like Amedot to tone it down. I mean Lapidot has toned down alot. We get that we are trash shippers and there's no solid evidence other than Barn Mates that they like each other.
</p><p>I mean Lapis Protected Peridot. Steven saved Peridot. So Peridot Mimics Steven in trying to save people now too. Peridot is very infulentional because she is a low class gem like Pearl. Pearl constantly has to find herself an break free from the reforming to a state of her being. Pearl and Peridot have to work hard to try and not end up mimicing. I mean come on Rose used a sword and so did Pearl. Pearl followed what she admired. Yellow Pearl admires her Diamond and her personality reflects that. Lower class gems will act like what they look up to.
</p><p>Ugh I'm ranting again. Just tone down a little, I'm getting real annoyed that everyone is only looking foreward to "Too Short to Ride" just because "Amethyst and Peridot are going to fuse!!! OMG THEY LOVE EACHOTHER!!!" There is no hint that they will fuse with eachother in this episode.

<p>Well, if I say the "best Gem" is Amethyst, then it <i>might</i> be because I enjoy Amethyst as a character, and it might be the same thing for Peridot.
</p><p>Anyways, that's not the point. If you don't like the ship, then it's really easy to avoid it. The ship, as much as <i>some</i> people hate to admit it, has real evidence, and that encourages shippers to fixate over small things that even I, a die-hard Amedot fan, think is kinda silly. (No, I don't think using a purple marker meant anything.)
</p><p>I mean, come on, if they were showing a clip of an episode involving specifically Lapis and Peridot at SDCC, Lapidot fans would be pretty excited. if professional reviewers thought Lapidot would happen, Lapidot fans would be pretty excited. And you know what? Amedot fans would be pretty pissed. I see where you're coming from. But let the shippers ship. I'm not telling you to stop shipping Lapidot, so stop telling us that we're too excited, because we have excuses.
