Continuing our ongoing gem series, today we’re turning to a grouping of Garnets that are merely mentioned in the series but have their big moments in the mobile games ("Save the Light" & "Unleash the Light"): Hessonite, Demantoid, and Pyrope. As always, we’ll be looking at their history, personality, and design, and then turn to their real-world counterparts to see if they influenced their character or aesthetic. Hit that subscribe button and bell and grab a delicious cookie cat snack. I’m Kris Carr, and today I’m talking to you about the Garnets from the Steven Universe games.

I understand why Blue threw shade at our Garnet on homeworld. Natural Garnets are commanders and a foot soldier and aristocratic fortune teller fusing into one would be insulting.

Yea, I like Apple products and all of that, but it would have been cool if CN was able to put it onto other platforms like the other games. That said, Steven Universe content did have a funding issue especially after Ruby and Sapphire's wedding episode. It would not surprise me if Apple funded the game to get another Apple Arcade exclusive. And there might be a working relationship between Rebecca Sugar and Apple since she was featured on the App Store during Pride Month.

@Error_-ct2vp 2 жыл бұрын

Yes all fusions are named after the look of their gems. Garnet for example would be considered a Ruby Sapphire fusion but their gem colors resemble a darker red of a Garnet. The only fusions that are what they are, are fusions of the same gem like Mega Ruby or Mega Pearl.

@redacted606 2 жыл бұрын

@@Error_-ct2vp not what I meant, what I meant is that garnet has traits that a normal garnet has like head shape, body shape and yes even coloration, but going strictly off of gem shapes would just call them by fusion classifications so garnets actual name would have been "sapphire ruby" or "ruby sapphire fusion" instead of just "garnet"

No,they are the real garnets. A key thing to remember is that our garnet is a fusion: a ruby and a sapphire and are thus are not a ACTUAL garnet because they weren't created to be one and that garnet's existence is based entirely on what the fusion symbolizes. THESE garnets,however are garnets by design and don't need any other gems to make them what they are and are thus ACTUAL garnets.
