![]() ![]() Pearl: Why are they still dancing!? I-it didn’t work! Pearl, watching from a distance with Garnet and Amethyst, reacts with confusion and anger. After a discussion of how to make their relationship work, they agree that they’re confused, but their decision to keep dancing signals that they’re committed to trying to figure it out. ![]() They dance, but don’t fuse the way Pearl and Rose did, so Greg thinks they failed. The next we see of him in “We Need to Talk,” he has everything ready for his attempt to learn how to fuse with Rose. If she thinks Greg and Rose can fuse, I trust her judgment. While Gem/human fusion may seem initially ridiculous, recall that we learn in “The Answer” (S2, E22) that initially Homeworld Gems thought fusion across Gem types was “disgusting” and “unheard of.” As the very first fusion of different Gems, Garnet more than anyone would understand what is and is not possible in fusion relationships. That’s fusion.īeing a more or less permanent fusion herself, Garnet’s pretty much the expert on fusion. Get open, get honest, invent yourselves together. I think you can do it, but it won’t work if you dance like Pearl. When he laments that he won’t be able to fuse because he’s human, Garnet He is not made of light, so he cannot fuse the way Gems can. Then you need a partner you can trust with that light.Īt first, Garnet seems to imply that he can’t actually fuse with Rose. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Garnet: First you need a Gem at the core of your being. You gotta help me out here, I need to be able to fuse with Rose. Greg: Yeah, I was just trying to get my head around this fusion dance.Īmethyst: A fusion dance ain’t about your head! *laughs* When Pearl leaves, he watches the video footage, trying to imitate Pearl’s dance moves. It’s his stated goal to prove Pearl wrong, that humans and Gems can fuse, specifically that he can fuse with Rose. Pearl: *stunned* Uhh, noo? I don’t think so. Greg: *taking off the cable* Well, has any human ever tried fusing with a Gem? And you, are not *puts cable around him*, a Gem! Pearl: Well, that’s simple! Humans can’t fuse! *sing-songy* Fusion is the ultimate connection between Gems. Rose may find you charming, but that’s only because you’re human. Greg: *exasperated sigh* No, I actually don’t know that, Pearl. Pearl: *over her shoulder* *swinging microphone* You’re just a phase. Rose leaves and Pearl decides to confront Greg about his feelings for Rose. They fuse, dance, and the song ends with a literal mic drop from Pearl. While making a music video with Greg, Pearl suggest to Rose that they fuse in front of him. He almost instantly falls in love with the giant woman Rose, and tries every way he can to get close to her. In “We Need to Talk” (S2, E9), we get to see how Greg met Rose and the Crystal Gems. What first led me in this direction is that the show actually establishes that Greg is interested in fusing with Rose. *Spoilers through Steven Bomb 4, “The Answer”* Steven as Fusion It’s time for some Steven Universe theorizing! So put on your limb enhancers, people, and get ready to analyze. There’s solid narrative evidence and they make sense on a thematic level. Doesn’t calling Rose bisexual contradict that?īoth of these theories are controversial, I won’t deny that, but they’re maore than tinfoil. Rose, bisexual? What does that even mean when you’re talking about Gems and humans? Gretchen, you just wrote an article about not sexualizing fusion relationships. ![]() Even Greg admits that he and Rose were never able to fuse. It sounds, ‘unheard of’! Steven a fusion? “I thought that humans and Gems couldn’t fuse,” you might say. ![]() More accurately he’s the Gem/human fusion of Rose and Greg. Steven isn’t just a hybrid Steven is a fusion. ![]()
