I just thought this was cute, because it looks to me that aside from Steven using his chin to help, he folds in a similar way to Pearl. Their piles even look similar, compared to the others
which makes me think Steven learned to fold clothes from Pearl, similar to how he learned to organize his toys from her too. Which makes sense, since she seems to have a passion for this sort of thing. I just think its cute, I like the idea of Steven picking up all these mundane habits from the Gems, like you do when you spend so much time around people,
so, fusion is NOT sexual, we can confirm that through stevonnie, but it is an entirely intimate act of love and friendship chosen between two gems. intimate acts don’t mean they’re inherently sexual and they aren’t any less intimate because they aren’t sexual.
what we saw was literally DEAD GEMS being nonconsensually brought back to life and forced against their will to become one being.
garnet was not only seeing her fallen crystal gems reanimated as monsters, but the entire concept of fusion was defiled infront of her, hence why she felt the need to defuse. she probably felt dirty despite the fact that ruby and sapphire chose to become one being.
I could only imagine these two (or at least Garnet) had to go back to their room to let more tears out.
(And I’m not gonna lie, this episode kinda made me feel numb. Kinda still left speechless right now… I can only imagine how tomorrow’s episode’s gonna go, since it’s also apparently on the concept of fusions!
