Putting Ruby and Sapphire fusing into Garnet aside for a moment, can we talk about this? Rose had the choice to either go along with the gems in destroying the Earth, or go against them and save the people that resided there. She chose to go against her own kind just to protect something that some other Gems didn’t understand and didn’t want to get to understand. Not to mention that Garnet and Pearl were with her all the way. Rose protected these two with her life. They won together, side by side, not wanting to admit defeat even though there might have only been a few of them up against so many wanting to destroy something Rose found so precious.
Can we also talk about the fact that this cartoon outright said “there’s no such thing as a good war”? Between that, the positive representation of nonbinary identity and same-sex relationship, I’m really hoping that these shows are as influential as the people who would censor them think they are.
