Mindful Education + onscreen use of they/them pronouns
They’re also two people. Not everything has to do with gender.
“you are not two people” - garnet to stevonnie, 2015
Alexandrite - 4 people - she
Giant Ruby - 5 people - she
Stevonnie - 2 people - they
Fusions are one person regardless of how many people fused to make them.
Stevonnie is literally a mix of a boy and a girl. Nonbinary.
One more piece of evidence:
This is Jenny, someone who has no idea that Stevonnie is a fusion (or even what fusion is), using they/them pronouns. It is not because they’re two people.
to be fair, in the above example, i’d use they regardless of gender, if i remember the context correctly using they feels more correct grammatically than a pronoun
i support the idea of them being nonbinary, but we need to know more about smokey before we can say for sure that it’s anything other than stevonnie being assumed to go by they/them [cause no one even bothered to ask them]
//Back in the day, I would just call any fusion in any media a “they”. And I think I know where it started. Twinrova from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They are a fusion of the female Koume and Kotake, and while people call them a “she” I remember Navi’s description of them.//
This is the combined form of Kotake and Koume. Turn their magic attack back at them!
//I also remember Digimon which had fusions too... err, DNA-Digivolutions of Onmimon, Paildramon/Imperialdramon, Silphymon, and Shakkuamon. Those are all male/male, except Silphymon who is male/female. I remember just calling all of them “they”s because they were all two different creatures regardless of gender. I can’t remember how the show referred to them, especially Silphymon, but I might go find out how.//
//I just go along with whatever the media says. Plus, in Steven Universe’s case, calling Garnet a “them” would be a massive spoiler because we found out she was a Fusion long after we were introduced via her fused form. The others we saw the fusees before the fusion form.//
