Garnet Character Discussion

Garnet is one of my top favourites in Steven Universe. Like, probably my second favourite. She is amazing. We all know it. Everything about her - her calm, cool demeanor, the humour that comes about it, the fact that Steven can sit on her hair! What's not to love about Garnet?

i can't believe garnet was two lesbians in a trenchcoat

POOR GARNET RIGHT NOW D: omfg

On the plus side, she really stressed the importance of consent, which is super good <3

It was interesting seeing Garnet in that frame of mind. We're so used to Garnet being stoic and badass, and only getting angry when she was upset. But seeing Garnet be legitimately scared was something else. Also the momentary instability she had as Ruby and Sapphire talked to each other was worrisome. Hopefully we see more of Garnet getting better, but I doubt it for this week at least ;-;

I think tonight's episode showed us a lot about Garnet's character and where her frame of mind is.

It was good though to see her smiling a lot more since she refused in Jail Break.

I love seeing her smile. And I love it when she takes off her glasses! Her eyes are so pretty, and I love when they're visible because it adds so much to her character's design.

You see a ridiculous amount of emotions when her glasses are off, which is probably why she wears them to begin with. She's aware of it and has decided that this is easier.

That emotional side is clearly Ruby <3

It could be, but just because we only saw a calm Sapphire doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of emotions bubbling under the surface.

Ruby is associated with passion and emotion. We saw that emotion come out hardcore in Jailbreak and when Garnet got teary in Keeping it Together, it was her red eye (Ruby) that was teary. And then she quickly went to pissed when she was talking to Sapphire about the corrupt fusions. Sapphire was upset too, but not in the same way Ruby was.

I'm sure Sapphire has emotion but I'm certain Ruby wears her heart on her sleeve.

Yeah, Ruby's definitely her fury, while Sapphire's her patience. She is a conversation!
