How does the fanbase overall feel about Ruby and Sapphire?

There's a part of me that feels like their existence slightly ruins Garnet. Maybe I wouldn't feel that way if they weren't pretty one-note and trope-y (One is fire, one is ice! One is hot-headed, the other has a cool head! One is an aristocrat, one is a lowly guard!). The idea of being made of pure love might work better if the love story weren't so cliche. I think they're some of the weakest characters in the show that Rebecca keeps really wanting to push for some reason.
>>
Too much water, 7 out of 10.
>>
>>82443189
Push nothing. They've had two full episodes dedicated too them and they were decent to great episodes. I don't know what you are talking about.
>>
Disclaimer: I am not the fanbase.

Ruby and Sapphire were weak and aware of their weakness as other homeworld gems used them as tools for their war games. However, when they accidentally fused, they felt more at home with themselves than ever as they finally found their balancing counterpart.

Ruby is hot-headed and short-sighted to a fault (often leading to her going apeshit on things) whereas Sapphire is cool and collected and is blessed with the ability to see into the future.

They find being a fusion is better than being apart. Garnet is a better metaphor for a stable relationship than a metaphor or even a representation of love. Their affection feels a little forced, which is my only problem.

I wouldn't say Rebecca is pushing it, but that all the crystal gems have story arcs we haven't seen and so far the last season has been focusing on Garnet's origin. Future seasons will focus on Amethyst being born apart from all the other cooked gems and living with nature and animals. Then Pearl as she fell from grace and became a Rose-fucking renegade.
>>
I loved the roster, it's probably my favorite, the introduction of double battles was a refreshing idea, the music was great, the 3 main legendaries were awesome, especially considering gen 4's clusterfuck of a dozen useless legendaries, Hoenn was comfy as fuck.

Overall: 9/10

But I mean they keep pushing it onto Garnet's character ever since they were revealed. Whenever Garnet talks to Steven about relationships or love, Garnet's breakdown moment with the proto-Cluster had R&S communicating to each other using her as a mouthpiece, and also pic related with new children's book coming out. And Rebecca talks about them a lot of the time in interviews and podcasts, they'll definitely show up more in the future.

What I kind of mean is that ever since introduced, they want to make it really clear that Garnet is "the fusion" character and not just Garnet.

>>
>>82443189
I was begging for Ruby to be the aristocrat, just to shake things up, so that was a little lame. I'd like to reserve my judgement until they have individual interactions with Steven that aren't emotional dumpster fires that exist for the sole purpose of becoming one again (way to drop the ball on a perfect time for that interaction, The Answer), but until that happens, they are massively missing their potential. The ability to set aside their hungering selfishness for each other just for a little bit and explore them as individuals instead of poorly recognized magnets for each other world payoff in spades and wouldn't even be difficult to do.

It doesn't ruin Garnet for me though. Garnet best mom
>>
most of the fanbase love them because they don't really care about the show, they just heard there was a cartoon with some lesbians

I get what you're saying and you're definitely not the first one to voice these concerns. I actually thought her dissociative conversation after seeing the hand cluster to be pretty well done, since she was about to literally tear apart just moments before.

I enjoy Garnet's Universe. It was a good foreshadowing/metaphor for Garnet's lesser selves acting as a support for her: a no-nonsense badass that can do cool things with the power of 'love'. They've just been pushing it lately in s2 because that's sort of the theme and if anyone, Garnet would be the best one to handle more Stevonnie and Peridot's initial prejudice. She'll probably be the one to console with Jasper if she's still adamant about hating fusions I guess.
>>
>>82443189

Garnet is by far the worst character of the show, she's a "cool", hyper-competent character who's only "flaw" is her getting justifiably upset like once.
Her being a fusion is at least a way of making her somewhat interesting so I approve of it.

Garnet's flaw is that she's enormously proud of herself. Her pride is a great help to her at times, but it can also make her self-centered, self-righteous, and a poor communicator. Garnet always thinks she's right and doesn't like being challenged; when she doesn't approve of something, her way of expressing herself tends to be terse and blunt, or violently hostile; it takes more than a little for her to actually explain her point of view.

For example, when they captured Peridot, Garnet was trying to approach things diplomatically until Peridot called her a "war machine". Instead of saying that she's fused out of love, not war, Garnet's response was to immediately turn violent before Steven stopped her.

Another good example is Sugilite. A large part of why she's so dangerous is Garnet's "never question who I am" attitude; she's proud of being herself and hates anyone who's opposed to that, even when her "self" is a reckless, destructive giant.

Garnet seems to be the smartest and most stable of the Crystal Gems, but she's got Sapphire's pride and Ruby's temper; which can lead to quite a few problems.

I don't feel the 'push' you're describing. But I do think they're weaker characters, but only because we haven't seen them individually enough. What we need is an episode with Steven and Ruby interacting and Steven and Sapphire interacting, without R&S referring to each other.
>>
>>82444599
The few times we've seen them though, they literally can't stand to be apart. Ruby might be more insufferable if she couldn't be standing next to Saph 24/7.

Well I think that Rebecca hoped they would be a bigger hit. I think that she didn't decide until later on to make the whole, "Garnet is a fusion" thing a twist. Plus she says that her and the co creator are like ruby and sapphire, while their team is "Garnet." Also I think that they just put more time into making garnet a character while ruby and sapphire have like five seconds of characterization.
I actually like them but because I think to myself every time they show up, "ehh they only have 12 minutes to make these two interesting, this is good enough for 12 minutes."

They wanted to push the same sex couple in our face so bad that any chance of actually surprise flew right over our heads. I wouldn't mind if they saved this for season two, but at the same time the episode Ruby and Sapphire did get wasn't too bad.
>>
>>82443189
I can't bring myself to care about them. I get the whole point they're supposed to represent and I'm not generally against the idea of Garnet being a fusion but characterwise, they're just too uninteresting for me to give a fuck about them on their own. Which is kind of a shame because I really like Garnet but as someone above said, her character became too much of "look what a perfect relationship she is, isn't love awesome" after the fusion thing was revealed.

keep in mind that they were split under stressful conditions, and when they were split each time the obvious focal point of the episodes were for them to fuse back. Part of the issue I think is that their VA's are guest voices, so there's limited time and episodes to elaborate on their characters.

You misunderstand. Rose loved Pearl and when it came time create a super weapon against the Homeworld, she wanted to leave a piece of herself for Pearl.

From my perspective we've already seen it, if you consider Garnet and Amethyst responsible for what they did as Sugilite. Garnet's extremely proud of being herself and doing what she feels like in the face of all opposition, which leads to good decisions in some contexts (when she originally formed) but can also lead to being selfishly proud of her (Sugilite's) own actions even when she's recklessly or deliberately harming others.

There's also the computer console she smashed in a rage. You can bet that'll come back to bite her.

Garnet is the best gem. She's the only one who actual loves Steven, she's the only one to have told him so and she woke him up at midnight on his birthday for fuck sake.
>>
>>82443189
I honestly don't care for neither Garnet or her components due to none of them acting like anything even remotely resembling an individual. Ruby and Sapphire have absolutely nothing going for them as their own characters, and they only exist to think about the other. They're both obsessed with each other, and their backstory episode is a direct contradiction to past episodes. it's just that I've yet to see much good coming out of them, since most of their episodes are terrible.
>>
>>82449401
It was always going to be a thing, but in here you could argue it looks less like it was going to be some big reveal twist, and instead something that might have been introduced casually much earlier, possibly as a thing Steven knew all along before the show even started.

Maybe it's just me but I can't help thinking of Ruby as male. She looks, sounds and acts pretty masculine, especially compared to Sapphire. I feel like that's kind of how they're getting away with it, like Sugar's aiming for progressive points while hoping some of the parents who might raise a stink about this won't be paying enough attention to notice it.

Greg doesn't even send his son to public school in the first place. He lets Steven be homeschooled by space rocks who often demonstrate a poor understanding of humanity and earth culture.

And I mean they ADORE them.

>There's a part of me that feels like their existence slightly ruins Garnet.

But the fact that Garnet is made out of them is what gives her a lot of depth. Her strong and near-unconditional belief in Steven is suddenly understandable, her dedication to protecting Earth has become more than just a matter of loyalty to a dead gem. Being a person whose very existence is revolutionary gives her a lot of purpose.

Men can't be anything worthwhile in the show. They all have to be losers or assholes.

The father has to be an unattractive loveable loser that does not threaten to make any girls moist and puts them into that "he's a harmless daddy" mindset so they won't have to broch the "why aren't any of them trying to fuck/marry steves father" thing that will inevitably pop up in the minds of the female and queer fanbase.

If there is a metal race and they are all litteral metal versions of chad thundercock and jamal longdick the net will be flooded with "which gem should hook up with which metal" and are the metals trying to rape the gems? a treatise on gender relations in cartoons. Oh and rape porn/erotica. The rape porn and erotica will flood the net.

It doesn't help that she's a boobless midget. Usually if you design a butch female character, you give them at least one obviously female trait like big boobs. But Ruby had to be short and just has less room for a feminine body.

Funny, I was thinking Sapphire should die so that Ruby could find her life a purpose outside of protecting Sapphire. Plus, she'd have the more emotional reaction which would be more entertaining.

I think Garnet's advice to Pearl about being her own person and getting over Rose was extremely hypocritical.

Elaborate.
The mother's of the boys who watched Transformers would frequently write in while pretending to be children and ask where are the female robots. When they tell them "they are all robots and were built in a factory" people lost their shit and started just mail bombing them.
It was crazy.

>>82451149
It's true.
They honestly have to be assholes or some kind of ugly or losers. It's to keep the very notion of them being datable by the gems out of the mind of the audience.

Kindly source that. There were female Transformers added to the lineup later on, but that was more likely the result of network demands to have at least a few girls in the cast (Airazor and Override were female for the same reason). TFwiki suggests that claims of "feminist complaints" are at best exaggerated (based on a joke story Simon Furman wrote) and at worst made up.

I don't get why you consider it objectively wrong to criticize a show that receives nearly universal praise.

Garry Chalke himself talked about it in a voice interview once. Basically said it creeped him out.

As for putting females into the show, yeah, it's obvious that the networks forced them to add transformers from then on for marketing reasons and some feminist in the company forced them too.
But the first apperance happened precisely because of the reason I told you.
Creepy middle aged women wanted to shlick to robot porn/wanted their female transformer stand in.

Yeah, but when she finally managed to get her real working human girl snatch, he banged her like a screen door in a hurricane for months on end and donated enough sperm to knock up half the gem population.
ONCE should have been enough. Hell they're made of hard light and float around a gem. A single blowjob should have been enough to get the required spunk. She could have just floated it into her pseudo uterous and grew steven from that.

>>
>>82453350
Nah, Greg probably fucked her a couple times before heading to lunch. He probably wished he could be as close to Rose as Pearl was.
>>
>>82453367
Hellen, really, you need to move on.
>>
>>82453157
Yeah...that is kind how it happens.
And there is a such thing as her being far more susceptible to have a child during certain parts of her menstral cycle+ being turned on enough.
Hell, many women unfortunate women get preggers after a single rape.

But since she's in perman babby havin mode and she has a fresh perma virgn snatch and instant orgasm button plus..the gems are a bit on the empathetic side...
He was fucking her lights out on the reg for a long ass time before she decided to have a child.
I wonder how many times pearl has walked in on them.
Greg the rock stud between the thighs of the pink goddess from beyond the stars,
Him brutally animalistically fucking the woman she devoted her entire life too and her howling like an animal in intense pleasure.

I bet Greg even invited her to join once or twice. Before Rose gets a bit jealous and says that she's not like her and then tells him that if he's interested in a second hole then she's been experimenting with something and whispers into his ear.
