She keeps the bubbled gems in her room so she can always keep an eye on them and keep track of them, because she has been keeping track. Garnet gives so much importance to her friends and being responsible for them. What is in her room? Bubbled gems, and by the looks of it, there are hundreds.Īnd there’s a reason for that. It sounds redundant but I’d like to make that point. It’s not like Amethyst’s or Pearl’s room where there are objects or places to hide them. There is no furniture in her room. There’s nothing to hide there’s nowhere to hide anything. Her room is the one opened by Ruby’s and Sapphire’s gems, and it’s referred to as the Burning Room or the Bubble Room. The nature of their playing with gem shards is a huge deal to Garnet There are few things indeed that would make them fear Garnet’s anger, and that leads me to the next idea. When the other CGs make mistakes, such as Steven in Cheeseburger Backpack or Pearl and Amethyst in Giant Woman, or even Greg in The Message, she’s incredibly understanding about it and moves forward and thinks of solutions. And it’s because there are very few things that can push Garnet into that level of anger. So I really do think that their fear towards Garnet is genuine, because of how reliant they are on her emotionally. Every single one- Back in a bubble and back in the basement!īecause Pearl is the one to first say they’re going to search for the gem shards and put them back without Garnet’s knowledge and Amethyst later jumps on board and agrees. Pearl: *calms down slightly* She’s not going to find out… We’re going to catch them- All of them.Īmethyst: You’re right. So their reaction towards doing something wrong is something I interpret as Amethyst’s reacting the way Amethyst usually does, and Pearl frozen in fear, but thinking of a solution as well.Īmethyst: And when Garnet finds out, we’re dead! Because we know Pearl struggles with being replaced and forgotten like an object and from Cry for Help, we know Amethyst shares some of that insecurity and feelings of weakness and helplessness. In both Secret Team and Cry for Help, notice how Pearl’s body language, stiff with wide eyes, is an indicator that she is afraid. She gives a mean cold shoulder and, to Pearl and Amethyst, who look to Garnet for validation and strength, that’s losing a light source in a dark room. Angry Garnet directs her focus onto anything except you. But instead she tries to justify herself, tries to make herself small. If Garnet were proven to react in a physical way, then she would have done so. In Cry for Help, she’s not shielding herself from some incoming attack. The body language of that scene tells us as much. But I doubt her fear was towards Garnet’s retaliating in a physical way. Again, her not correcting Amethyst in Secret Team may be a result of her own fear. In Cry for Help, when she finds out Pearl was lying to her to fuse, Garnet was incredibly angry and Pearl was visibly frightened. It’s intimidating knowing that you’ve done something wrong in her eyes.īut I also think it was established rather early that Garnet isn’t the type to physically be angry. We learn firsthand from Peridot that Garnet, in the eyes of gems, has the capacity to be a non-stop war machine. I think the impression most people got from their reaction to Garnet’s possible wrath is that it would be physical in nature. “She’s going to kill us!” sounds like a physical threat and given Garnet is a bigger, physically stronger fusion, it’s possible that conclusions were drawn about how threatening that could be. There is some disproportionate fear towards Garnet, but not for the reasons we think I have some thoughts about this! It’s true we don’t see this vocalised fear in other episodes, but I do think that some of the issues in Crystal Gem dynamics haven’t been completely addressed in the show.
Their behavior seems weirdly out-of-character: Why ARE they so afraid of Garnet here? Amethyst even says, "She's gonna kill us!" and Pearl, usually not one for exaggerating (she's ALWAYS corrected others) doesn't correct her or call her out for hyperbole? So we're to believe they were actually afraid to the point of letting Steven take the heat for them! Seriously, this fear is nowhere else to be found in other episodes. Flowerapplejacks asked: I want an explanation for Pearl and Amethyst's behavior in Secret Team.
