I'm not so sure that Rainbow Quartz is a particularly stable fusion, as Pearl obviously had malevolent intent towards Greg, whereas (1/?) Rose didn't. Pearl shielded that from the fusion, and I'm surprised that difference didn't invalidate or immediately split the fusion. I mean, it's not like gems can't force a fusion when not in a relationship or close friendship, but there's a certain connectivity that has been implied with fusions like Garnet or Stevonnie. I feel like it's about a shared
intent, and that wasn't there between Pearl and Rose. I mean, they literally see things differently while they're Rainbow Quartz. While the single-set of arms at least implies that they're close, just don't see it as a possible lasting relationship, at least as long as we view fusions as reflecting a relationship.
Yeah, agreed. Rainbow Quartz two sets of eyes to me really pushes the idea that Rose and Pearl have very different viewpoints. In that moment mainly their views on Greg.
