I’m being very vulnerable with showing my opinions and headcannons on peridot/j
Ages: 3,000 ish
Cut: 5xg
And era 2 peridot
Important items: tape recorder (broken), Camp Pining Hearts, Percy x Pierre
Songs: peace and love (on the planet earth)
Voice actor: Shelby Rabara
Reasons for liking this character: her voice, her demeanor, her smarts, mostly her voice and character development
Why is she childish: shes learning, shes also scared, and not to mention this is her first time acting like a person and not some mindless machine thats used for orders, and where does she learn how to be a person? Steven, a child. OF COURSE SHES CHILDISH NOT TO MENTION IT IS HEAVILY IMPLIED SHE IS AUTISTIC.
Implied stuff: autistic, aro/ace (i think of her as gray aromantic and sex favorable asexual)
Personal head-cannons:
she tries fusion once (platonically or romantically bro I’m a multi shipper) with Garnet because Garnet is the mother of all fusion but she genuinely found it so scary just kind of turning into something new like that, having another person in her head that they unfused and she refused to do it unless it was absolutely necessary and even then she hated every second of it, no matter the person.
Her opinions about earth tradition and earth drama are heavily based on others thoughts, but back on home-world she was one of the more outgoing and outspoken peridots, the one that sparked debates and swayed opinions. This is not to say all of her thoughts on earth are based on others, she learned to love earth on her own, she developed that opinion on her own, but things like weddings, eating, swimming, more earthly activities are based on other gems and Steven, but deep down shes really neutral about like everything on earth past her love for it.
She picked up gardening, and grew a love for all the flowers
And with it she grew a hatred of homeowners associations because she is on a gardening type thing online and hears many complaints from humans about HOAs, Lapis never hears the end of it if Peridot founds a bad or good post (like that person who made their yard legally a sanctuary thing for animals and plants) about HOAs and while Lapis gets a bit tired of it, she likes it
Lapis and Peridot ended up as queer platonic friends after learning that word
Bismuth and peridot are good friends
Amethyst and Peridot are in a relationship
Garnet and Peridot are close friends, but they did have a cute fling for a few days because Peridot wanted to learn about love and relationships, before she got with Amethyst (and because she wanted to know if the stuff she did with Garnet was stuff she wanted to do with Amethyst), which led to Sapphire and Ruby having a pile of stuff Peridot gifted to them those days because thats what Peridot thought love was like. Garnet liked the days, they had a nice time together and eventually dropped the roleplay and just had a conversation about Peridot’s feelings for Amethyst which made them close
Peridot gives Lapis, Garnet, Bismuth, and Amethyst Valentines presents, considering she has had some type of relationship with them wether physical or emotional she feels she has to give them gifts on this day despite being corrected
Pearl and Peridot, are complicated but Pearl actually treats her like she isn’t just funny, sure Amethyst does that too but sometimes Peridot doesn’t feel like she’s being taken seriously, but with Pearl she has a nice time with, usually involving puzzles or robotics.
She learned what sicknesses are and instead of being grateful that gems didn’t get those she made an entirely new strand of bacteria(?) to affect gems so they had to suffer with Steven/Connie when they were Sick
No fucking idea how she did that but she figured it out
Once her wonder for the world was satiated she mellowed out mostly and now is back to regular Peridot like she was before, still funny with a hint of maturity but pretty neutral with tone
basically not nerfed as much anymore
She hates gloves and shirts with a burning passion
Socks, shoes and shorts are fine
Its something about gloves inhibiting her movement and shirts being too tight/too close to her neck
she still loves aliens
