So we know that Garnet is extremely powerful and very mysterious, and made out of two undoubtedly powerful tiny gems.
However, there’s something that’s been on my mind a lot. If Garnet has some sort of berserker mode.
I mean, look at Secret Team.
Dangerous? Now just how many things does Amethyst consider dangerous for Steven? In fact, her very next suggestion is for Steven to jump off of a pile of junk likely 20 feet in the air. Steven poking his head into a room that “only Garnet is allowed in” is more dangerous than possibly breaking his bones?
When they pop the bubble, look at the fear on Amethyst and Pearl’s faces. They are legitimately terrified. I mean, releasing mindless gem pieces all over the temple is what is ACTUALLY dangerous, I’d think, not Garnet. And…
KILL? Like… mortally wound so they have to regenerate, or break their gems? Is she being literal? Garnet is a pretty literal person, after all…
And this isn’t just a one time thing, not just a plot device for that episode in particular. When Steven hits Garnet in Mirror Gem, Amethyst lets out the most horrified gasp.
And when Garnet runs after Steven, what does Pearl say?
She isn’t upset with Steven for hitting her, she is afraid for him. Garnet adores Steven, and believes in him more than anyone, so why would she hurt him? That certainly seems to be what Pearl is thinking will happen.
And lastly, I want to bring up Garnet and Amethyst’s fusion.
This beast. We know for certain that Amethyst is not this volatile, she’s just more reckless and brash. So what if Sugilite’s violent nature comes mostly from Garnet? And it’s just uninhibited due to Amethysts’s personality?
I really want to know what in the past has caused Pearl and Amethyst to have this strange underlying fear of Garnet becoming angry.
