Steven universe content in 2024? Truly brings me joy

I think you were correct about the colors because when most of the different gems fuse, they turn into a color that is also the same color as a gem in real life

I always called pearl and vollyballs fusion "Royal Pearl". I think I heard it somewhere and it just felt right. both were pearls to royalty ,or well the diamonds who are basically the gem equivalent, and their look just screams "Royal Guard"

My idea is that fusions being formed is like when a gem is made. When emerged, they already know their name, purpose and function But, considering how cross gem fusions weren't ever planned to happen, they don't necessarily have a purpose or orders to follow

It's been confirmed by the creators that ALL fusions have single gem equivalents

I feel like it's related to the chemistry of their gemstones, when they fuse their gemstones changes color which is not normal, for example when garnet is formed she doesn't have a sapphire gemstone and a ruby gemstone as her gems but two garnets, perhaps this is how they decide their naming? based on the new type of their gemstones?

"Garnet? Does that call herself a garnet" You know its a miracle. The show finds a way too even make the best diamond unlikeable.

They pick the name because the fusions are often singular gems too. Garnet is ruby+sapphire but theres also a singular gem named garnet on homeworld. Steven is the only one freestyling the names because theres only one Steven

I want to add to the topic: On regard of cross-gem fusion, the properties of the real life gems also apply. For example, rubies and sapphires are almost identical, only difference being rubies containing chrome in their structure that give it their red hues. In a similar matter, garnets are also related to the previous 2 stones, which explains the naming. The convention carries forward when you think about it. Obsidian can be both a natural found mineral or a volcanic glass made from melting of many rocks, including gems, in short time. That would also explain my point with naming convention. Another good example is Malachite actually being similar to both jasper AND lapis in structure.

Hear me out…enchanted lapis

So it’s possible to recreate most gems that exist through fusion

I love the fact this fandom hasn’t died.

0:54 I would like to note that Mega Pearl is also or should also be called Royal Pearl which is a real pearl irl!

I actually think that the fusions that are super big are really big due to unstable or destructive relationships between the fused gems, not the fact that their name ends with “ite”, since garnet’s power and amethyst’s destructive tendencies together make something awful and powerful, and also just… everything about lapis and jasper’s relationship.

When you realize unless steven fuses with a quartz, there's no quartz involved in the fusion, so rainbow quartz isn't actually quartz, for example, I think Opal would be a better name for steven/pearl fusion than pearl/amethyst

Very interesting...

Ngl I've never seen another Garnet before, kinda makes me wanna see what the other non fusion versions look like.

Bro it's crazy to think how much more powerful the gem army would be if tha y had dif gems fuse like imagin a hole army off opearls or a hole army off lapis and jasper fusoins holly dam 💀

my theory is that they don't choose their own names. gems are born with a purpose, as someone in the comments already said. the reason smokey didn't know her name at first is that amethyst and steven both have identity issues and self worth and purpose issues, so it makes sense that their fusion wouldn't know herself at first. but that's just my theory. a gem theory

Omg Steven universe theories in 2024 We’re so lucky

I feel like it also has to do with the inherent abilities of the fusions/the games making them up, compared to other gems on homeworld. Garnets, who typically hold positions of power, and are good at combat, would make complete sense for a Ruby(a soldier), and a sapphire (an elite in gem society) to hold similar abilities to a regular garnet. Another example could be opal, we didn’t see any regular opals in the show but considering they reflect light so much, it would make sense that they have light powers. Opal’s arrows are made of light and explode into light shards before lighting up the whole area. Perhaps Opals on Home-world have a similar or same ability to light areas up?

You have no idea how happy I was when I saw this was posted only 2 weeks ago 😭

We DO have an equivalent to Rainbow Quartz in Little Homeworld which is Angel Aura Quartz (the terms to describe the gem are used interchangeably) The single gemed Rainbow "Angel Aura" Quartz has blue skin and yellow hair and different colored accents on her form.

This is interesting thanks❤❤

I still question this years after the show’s ending! I’ve never dived into it myself though, just dabbled in art/character designs. Nice video! :)

nice video !!! love seeing steven universe theories in 2024

Maybe it’s bc it’s the real name of those fusion gems irl💀💀

Tanzanite is technically a fusion of a Tiger's Eye, a Hawk's Eye, and a Jasper.

I think all gem fusions have a basic singular gem version. And since the gems are basically super advanced alien AI, it would make sense that their gem fusion names might come from some “collective knowledge” where they know, maybe intrinsically, what their name is based on the single gems

I always figured the size of the gem is just how powerful it is physically.

Such cool theories!

OKG YAY!!! IVE WANTED TO LEAEN HOW THIS WORKS

I think it was just -construction of gemstones -specified emotions involved -whimsy. some made sense, others not so much, but you're talking about sentient rocks and a cartoon, why does it need to make sense?

Steven is a diamond

What's interesting to me is that, Steven/Rose's gem isn't actually a rose quarts, but a pink diamond, so Rainbow Quartz and Smoky Quartz caught my attention since the big revela, cause they still have quartz in their name, even though there is no rose quartz. So that makes me think that the fusion actually chooses their identity based on their characteristics, but it's also interesting how we never see a gem "deciding" their name, other than Smoky's, since, for example, Sunstone just says their own name naturally.

They're named after crystals,gemstones and minerals along with rocks,we get it I wouldn't be surprised if there's a gem named salt or glass

0:28 Pretty sure that there is single fusions that you never mentions which was revealed in the games

I always just assumed that after fusing the fusions just sort of… knew their name, or at least had a sense of what felt right, what felt correct to them, much like alters in a DID system (or at least in my limited understanding of those). Blue Diamond probably made that comment because 1. She’s never fused before so she wouldn’t Know what it’s like, and 2. It’s outlawed so information on minor things like how fusions come about their names wouldn’t be documented because the goal is to prevent it from happening, not to understand it

I always thought of the cross fusion naming system being more of a combination of the gem's status. Sapphire (really high rank) ruby(low rank soldier) = high rank leader But the issues with that come in with Rose/Pink Diamond and Steven and 3+ gem fusions A simple explaination for the 3+ cross gem fusions being the gem ranking be in more of an additive sense than a subtractive. The value of a garnet + with the small amount if value added by a pearl and an amethyst making alexandrite. With stevrn and rose ir diesnt make sonde why all the fusions from these teo are are quartz or common gems. But my theory on this is how rose was able to make herself perceived as a wuartz soldier her fusions reflect that too desite her true nature as a diamond. The wuartz form being Steven's default meaning his fusions reflect that

after the Pink Diamond reveal it kinda feels disheartening to call those gems quartz but it would make sense if it goes by color and not gem class

Very very ai generated near the end It feels like whoever was writing the script kinda gave up

Finally! An explanation!

im making 2 ocs who are an amber and a hematite and want to make a fusion out of them but i still dont know what to name it even after watching this video 💀

Smoky diamond and rainbow diamond just don’t hit the same

I’m not the only one to ask this, but how does this affect Steven’s previously named fusions after the big reveal? He’s not a quartz, so how could he make a Rainbow Quartz and a Smoky Quartz? They didn’t change their names, as evidenced by Steven Universe Future.

3:33 rip Jade quq

We need a movie of thr Gem war

I just watched and finished su i need more food its makin my brain think

1:06 I thought *THEY* were copper☠️ Edit : is copper a mineral or a gem😅

what app for voice do you use?

We get it they're named after crystals,gemstones,minerals and rocks I wouldn't be surprised if there was a gem named salt or glass and not a single one of these silicone based,biological hologram bodied chick's are straight except Rose and somehow their all magic

Only the real ones know that this is mr frownys voice

What would a fusion of amethyst and the zircon guy be called then?

Since Rose isn't a real quartz but a diamond, and Steven also being half human half diamond then what are the fusions between Steven and the gems really called?

Given Steven is actually a diamond, I think Smokey Quartz should be renamed Herkimer Diamond.

I was thinking if its abouts the minerals that makes the gems combined to form a different gem, and thats the name. Even if its a half science, not a chemistry exactly correct. Maybe an azurite, a pirite and a calcite fusion could form a lapis lazuli, for example. Since Lapis is this 3 minerals combined into one. The result could be a different looking lapis, maybe with some different powers, but could still be considered a lapis.

But what I don't get is that if Steven isn't a rose quartz but instead is a pink diamond then how is smoky quartz, smoky quartz, and not amethyst plus a pink diamond

You mean pink and white pearl

in development the probobly get the names first

Why do you remind me of Mr.Frownie??

Whats the Background music plz ?

Is the audio AI? The voice is kinda strange, he sounds british but its kinda... wrong

Why is the music so loud

Spoiler warning for anyone who hans't finished the showv (at least up until episode A Single Pale Rose s5e18) !!! I honestly don't know how I haven't noticed before, but after the gems find out the true nature of steven's mom and his gem, would the gems he fuses with need to be renamed? For example, a quartz and amethyst make smoky quartz, but would it be the same with a pink diamond instead?

Pls what game is that un the video

I thought I was the only Steven Universe fan left in 2024!!! guess not💕
