People call Amethyst mean for laughing when peridot was insulting Steven and Garnet in Too Far but getting offended when peridot was insulting her, but in the beginning of the episode when Amethyst was laughing at peridot's jokes it was because they were strange. She called a screw driver a leverage optimizer. Amethyst laughed because it was strange for humans or fusion to be seen as negative. She got offended when peridot called her defective because she secretly sees herself as that way.

Hm, I could see that or I could also see in the negative life lesson kind of way that you and other fans have objected to or interpreted.

I’m a pretty big proponent for episodes that allow character building moments to our core cast, and that one for me felt like a big learning moment for Amethyst. There she learned that not everything can be taken like a joke because sometimes words and jokes can hurt deep down. Feeling that pain herself she can better empathize with others and learn to be more careful with how she uses language. 

I think these lessons are really great for the core younger audience to learn from, but like many story aspects of the series this too is totally up to viewer interpretation. Each view here holds equal merit, regardless of my personal preferences.

I remember when there were 4 types of people in this fandom. People who hated pearl and liked amethyst, people who hated amethyst and liked pearl, people who shipped pearlmethyst, and a small amount of people who did not fall into these catagories. I'm happy there is less hate, but i'm sad because people seem to have gone from hating amethyst to not caring about her.

Fandoms are fickle and have terrible attention spans most of the time.

I have a theory. During ocean gem lapis makes copies of the crystal gems. I think this power came from the mirror. Therefore when steven healed her he took away her greatest power. Do you think this could be true?

Not really, since that seemed to be a water-control related power, which it doesn’t seem like she’s lost at all at least if Lapis’ presence within Malachite is any indication.

Even though it's probably unlikely I really want an episode were the home world gems go to history class and Learn about the pink diamond rebellion.

Ha aw, I think we need to know at least a little bit of info on it before they’ll be able to ‘go to class’ for that

But that’d be a stellar chibi ‘Classroom Gems’ idea

I can't wait until amethyst fuses with steven. Steven's stevenness and amethyst's fun-loving attitude would creat the perfect fusion.

Amethyst and Steven fusion is pretty much my ideal first Gem fusion for Steven too!

Steven reminds me of zach bell.

For like eight seconds I was afraid I was getting old and didn’t know the cool teenage superstars anymore. 

But Zatch Bell! eh I could see it a little bit from my incredibly limited exposure to the series.

What I do not see a lot of people mentioning about the new theme is that Connie is holding Rose's sword. Do you think she will become the permanent owner?

I’m thinking it’s pretty likely!
