in general, my favourite moments are when she smiles or laughs, her interactions with steven and amethyst, most of the monotonous one word lines, any time when we see how much faith she has in steven and how much she loves and trusts him, any sort of hand action (one of the first things i notice when garnet is on the screen is what her hands are doing) and because i love angst, when she’s affected by something but won’t show it, but i do want the show to bring attention to garnet’s struggles soon. i love it whenever she’s there for the people she cares about and her encouraging speeches really help me, but again i want (need) someone to help her... let garnet rest for a bit (also the fact that garnet’s there for everyone but she apparently doesn’t need help with anything herself plays into some nasty racist tropes)
actual moment wise? i would just say all of them but that’s not a proper answer so im just gonna list a bunch and bold my favs (this is gonna end up being something from nearly every ep lmao)
her first appearance, just… ripping that centipeetle in half. nice.
the classic, ‘punch something without looking at it’ thing just a minute later in the same ep
“so i’m supposed to try really hard, and not try at all at the same time?” “yes.”
launching amethyst into the sky
kicking the pillar down wordlessly in the background after steven’s raft flows away
the entirety of serious steven
bringing a rock home for steven, giving it to him without a word
“beep beep”
wordlessly picking up and launching a boulder at steven to send him flying towards them and out of danger while amethyst and pearl are shouting at him to move
“i’m not cleaning up this mess”
the entirety of steven the sword fighter
specifically the little ‘hm.’ after she realises she’s let amethyst float off into the stratosphere
smacking ballmethyst into the beach… i love competitive mode garnet
golf pants
when steven comes flying out of rose’s room, knocks her over, bites her and she just goes “ow”
her little smile, the way she says “i think it’s this one” and “i can carry it” she was so eager to carry that huge hourglass
“you have a lobster on your butt”
trusting steven with centipeetle and every other time she’s had faith in him when the others (aka pearl) didn’t
when she grabbed amethyst by the tiddies. nice.
“howdy, bang” headcanon that garnet likes westerns, her favourite film is brokeback mountain
jumping out of greg’s van and rolling away… classic
“did greg fall down and break his butt? ha” “that’s not funny” “…i know”
the entirety of secret team
especially how she confronted the problem in a way that made steven happy (we’ll have to form our own secret team… what a perfect mum)
“amethyst that’s not funny!” “eh it was a little funny”
smacking steventhyst into the beach
actually the entire steven tag scene, and just the fact that she even did it at all
the phone call to connie’s mum, another classic
the actual interactions between her and steven in garnet’s universe kill me they’re so cute!!
rocket launcher gauntlets
the entirety of warp tour. “i’ll live”, making cookies, wearing oven mitts even though she doesn’t have to, whistling to amethyst, doing something they didn’t have to to try and relieve steven’s worries, “look’s like you’re a grandpa!” “congratulations”, HAIR RUFFLES, hugging him so tight in the stream, continuing to hold him when they arrived at the galaxy warp even though she could have put him down, carrying her whole family in her arms… honestly so much good garnet content in that ep
her reaction to stevonnie!!!
“you are now the owner of the golden can opener… yesssss”
“well played” and ruffling steven’s hair again
the entirety of future vision but some favs from that ep are the opening scene, the butter knife scene (”that’ll kill you faster” “NOT FUNNY!” “oh”) and the roof scene of course. oh and when she deflects the lightning!
“that’s the 411 yo” “trust”
forehead kisses!! trusting steven to determine his own future
“they better not be watching that dumb show”
“how’s my volume?” “it’s low” *CLANG*
wordlessly pulling pearl into the goop hug
“we can’t fight these things forever… well we can but i don’t want to”
“well steven you were completely wrong, but we learnt something new because of your decisions” “all right!” “but yeah this was a pretty bad idea”
the way she was taking that huge axe home No Matter What
“lift it backwards! nooo backwards” “YOU MEAN PULL”
just picking up greg and going to throw him over the fence
dropping greg and blushing (!!!) when rose arrives (that’s gay)
snorting and then her quiet laugh at pearl behind her hand (i love the hand thing)
the way she realised how greg was feeling and validating him by thanking him for his help
“mayor dewey, we’ll help you clean up this mess” “no we won’t”
her speech to steven at the beginning of the return and her efforts to protect him at the end
the entirety of jailbreak ofc, but some favs are how joyful she is to be back, how she stammers and apologises to steven for hiding what she is, and her worrying he won’t accept her (very important to me) her face at jasper and then the giggle, holding her entire family in her lap,
died, came back, fought for her life, survived ship crashing, witnessed birth of a monster… “yikes.”
“steven… you’re ungrounded from tv”
the cute way she lifts her arms slightly when steven rushes up and hugs her legs
listen… say uncle was annoying but the bits with the gems were good and i liked the garnet moments
“first the letter n” “then the letter o” “period”
amethyst’s last reformation is her room and the conversation then, the “you’re the one that wanted me to be stronger” “i don’t want this!” one
“it’s perfect” and the stuff to follow that
messing around with amethyst, telling jokes in stts. also the way she sits… it’s gay
picking up steven and walking away with him on her hair
“that was really poorly edited”
the scenes that weren’t The Scene in keeping it together
especially the “thank you” and her and steven high five
“woo!”
her convo with greg in we need to talk
in chille tid “we’re a team! “noo” the way she says no then is gr8
the sardonyx dance… ooo boy
watching crying breakfast friends with steven between her legs
“it’s a good step forward”
squeezing peridot to death sure was something
heart hands garnet telling steven she loves him… it was so cringey but so cute
everything she said and did at the robolympics, also i really liked how she was drawn in that ep
lesbian farmer garnet
putting peridot on the leash
“i felt like i was getting the hang of my strange new form… then i fell”
all of newbie candy floss garnet’s facial expressions
p much all of steven’s birthday, especially when she blew out the candles idk why i just found it funny
the entirety log logdate 7 15 2 and how she was patient with peridot rather than getting angry at her, even though she had every right to be angry she chose to teach peri instead
the alexandrite dance… ooo boy
how she thanked the watermelons for their help, it seems silly at first but when u think about it they are sentient beings with their own lives and the sacrificed them so yeah they deserve thanks.
her speech to steven at the end as well was so good… “and steven, we love you” killed me
her little smile at steven when peri says he’s the one that saved them
how she reassures peri they like her and are going to help her by using ‘her word’
when she re-fused laughing.. gosh
the entirety of steven floats, especially the way she smiles when she goes “… ready to give us a hug” and then it slowly drops after steven crashes behind her followed by “close enough”
the way she said nothing in restaurant wars but was still the best part of the ep
the entirety of monster reunion
leaning on amethyst and giving greg a high five in greg the babysitter
“we’re so proud of you” and more hair ruffles
her reaction to bismuth, her little offended gasp at “you’re one to talk, sorry, two to talk”. the way she was just so open to physical affection from bismuth as well
picking up army, “aw”, tucking her under her arm, the way she looked slightly offended when army jumped away
*finger clicks* “curses” (my sister pissed herself at this it became a meme)
when steven starts floating in the moon base so she holds his hand
everything in bubbled, her crying, her facial expressions, the way she explained things to steven
the way she says “ok” to peridot in the kindergarten kid
her reaction to smokey!
that gay thing she does with her hand after they tumble back into the house
the entirety of mindful education, her little woop when she brings out the sign, her cheering stevonnie on, “hold the phone... now give the phone to me” the fact that the song that helps me the most is sang by my fav
giving steven future vision to get The Gays back together
