Here’s my quick thought on Ashly Burch being on Steven Universe.
So I know the most popular theory is that she’ll be the Lapidot fusion. But I don’t think it’s because of reasoning, I think it’s just because Lapidot is one of the most popular ships in the fandom. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if Lapis and Peridot fused, and see how their fusion would work, and act like. And admittedly, Ashly’s voice does sound a lot like a blend of Lapis and Peridot’s. But Ashly’s role in SU is still completely unknown, so before everyone starts saying stuff like “Lapidot is already canon.” And that “Amedot is dead.” Wait and see what actually happens in the show. Remember that just because two gems fuse, doesn’t mean they’re automatically in a romantic relationship. Look at Steven and Amethyst, they’ve fused twice and I’m pretty sure they’re not a couple. Now I’m not saying to take off your shipping goggles or stop assuming overall. I just don’t want the majority of the fandom to be disappointed if Ashly Burch doesn’t turn out to be the Lapidot fusion. Even though there’s a very high chance she could be, it still might not happen. I just think that when Lapidot shippers are constantly wanting Lapis and Peridot to fuse, they forget what Lapis went through for several months; which was an abusive, unstable, and toxic fusion. She might still need time to rest from that. But, this could also be a chance for Lapis to maybe heal from her toxic fusion, by being in a much more stable one, with Peridot. And if Lapis were to fuse, who else would she fuse with (besides Steven)?
Now, I’d also love if if Peridot and Amethyst were to fuse because it’s undeniable that they’re very VERY close. But I just can’t see Ahsly’s voice being the voice of Peridot and Amethyst combined. I think that the crew might wait a little longer for Amethyst and Peridot to fuse into a healthy, and maybe even romantic fusion. Now, I know this is a little hypocritical of me to use my shipping goggles for this one, but with all the hints, and theories and screen time of the Amedot relationship, romance between them almost seems inevitable! So there still is a good chance Ashly might be the Amedot fusion, but again, we’ll have to wait and see. The theory I doubt the most is that Ashly Burch is gonna voice the Myster Girl. Why you ask? I’d imagine S. would have a deeper voice and even sound a little like Rose. Maybe Ashly can and will adjust her voice to fit the crews ideal voice for S. But I don’t think we’re ready to see the Myster Girl again just yet. Although we will soon enough. If you want anything more elaborated, you can always message me!
