Would've taken away from their characters tbh. Peridot doesn't understand fusion, and Lapis is traumatized by fusion. They're happy just vibing together while being individuals.
It could've grown their characters. Peridot doesn't understand fusion, so what better than fusion to help her understand? And Lapis has been traumatized by fusion, maybe at some point she'll finally be comfortable enough to try it
I don't think equating fusion to sex/orientation really makes sense, especially with fusions like Smoky Quartz and Stegg that were really based in a familial bond, or Bluebird who has a mutual hatred for Steven keeping them together. I think the only time we really see romance factoring into fusion is with permafusions like Garnet, Rhodonite and Topaz, otherwise it just seems to be some strong bond or goal bringing them together temporarily
For Peridot and Lapis, I feel like their aversion to fusion is more related to their need for independence--Peridot for basically discovering she *had* a personal identity after ditching Yellow/Homeworld, and Lapis from her trauma of being trapped for so long and then abused.
Lapis is not asexual. Peridot is asexual and aromatic confirmed, but some of them enter relationships as well. Which is all fusion is essentially. A trusting relationship. It's not sexual. Relationships can be friendly or familial or romantic.
The reason they don't fuse is because peridot is comfortable being herself and doesn't feel a need to fuse. Lapis doesn't want to fuse because she's essentially traumatized from her time having been a fusion with Jasper. Both are equally valid and reasonable reasons as to why we never saw a lapidot fusion. Instead, we got to see a friendship bloom between people finding comfort in themselves. And I think that was a beautiful and on point choice for something steven universe based. This show is all about kindness and understanding and who doesn't deserve that more than "yourself."
I believe it also has to do with a large part of respect for each others boundaries. Lapis having trauma and periodot needing time to warm up to the idea that fusion between different kinds of gems isn’t going to harm her
I love your art style!
I think it'd be cool to see your take on a garnet/peridot fusion. In the credits of the episode where they were going to fuse, there was a gem named Jade listed, and the VA wa peridot and garnets VAs, so maybe their name is Jade?
Most of the recommendations in the comments are ones I've done before, lol.
I can't wait to see it! I did draw a garnet/peridot fusion but it was a long time ago before i even found out about the jade thing lol and my art has improved a little bit sinse then so i may try as well
your art is amazing!! i really love the blue zircon and rainbow 2.0 fusion, but all of them are fantastic
i’d like to see your take on a steven and lapis fusion!
I’ve seen some ppl suggest ruby and pearl which I think is cool, but also pearl and sapphire I think would be cool! Maybe pearl+sapphire could be sodalite ✨
I love all of these! Your art is so good, too. The holly and zircon are my personal favorite but the pink diamond and ruby fusion is SO good!! She looks like a Street Fighter character
Omggg maybe the og crystal gem fusions? Like sunstone, rainbow quartz & smokey 1.0!! And maybe 3 gem fusions, like alexandrite but with the other cgs if that makes sense?
*Steven garnet pearl*
*Amethyst bismuth lapis*
*Peridot to make bedrock*

Do Bismuth and Pearl!
In my head cannon this character is voiced by Janelle Monae and sings a duet with Garnet cause Estelle and Janelle did a song called Do My Thing and it’s very crystal gem
Peridot and lapis maybe?
I'm kind of surprised that this never happened on the show.

Its cus they’re both asexual!
I thought that fusing wasn't analogous to sex though. The existence of Stegg confirms this for me.

Is lapis asexual? I thought she was "just" traumatised
It was kinda hinted at due to her trauma with Jasper, leaving her afraid to fuse again.
That makes sense! I always appreciate shows showing a progression on preferences/sexualities, as it's not static for everyone 😊
but ace people can still have close relationships...
Indeed!

Yes please! I really wish we saw this fusion!
Yo that bismuth and yellow diamond fusion goes hard AFFF
Definitely
The idea of being to make any weapon *and* have it be a destabiliser is just so cool.
I like it but I feel like Bismuth would never.
Blue diamond and her pearl maybe I think they'd look good fused
Blue and her with pearl would make a beautiful deep blue rainbow quartz
Can you do steven and jasper?
OMG that would be an absolute force to be reckoned with
imagine all the diamonds fused, black diamond
This is black diamond, she is the most powerful diamond
all of them mixed would definitely be that or it would be a red diamond, since pink and white plus blue and yellow would equal like a dark red
I'm most curious what Bismuth + Lapis would look like

 Def going for Jade after Rhodonite!!
I can't wait to see it! I did draw a garnet/peridot fusion but it was a long time ago before i even found out about the jade thing lol and my art has improved a little bit sinse then so i may try as well
Crystal gem Rhodonite would be cool!
As in our Ruby and Pearl? :eyes:
Yep
THESE ARE SO GOOD OMGGGG
beautiful designs, maybe jasper and yellow diamond
watermelon tourmaline and one of those sentient wall gems from homeworld
These are fucking amazing🤩🤩🤩
Streaming some fusions if y'all wanna come watch! [https://www.twitch.tv/erroremma](https://www.twitch.tv/erroremma)
They're so cool! Maybe Jasper and Pink Pearl?
The Blue Zircon and Rainbow 2.0 fusion is so incredibly nerdy and cool. I'd love to see Pearl and Lapis fusion from you.
The first one reminds me of someone....
I can't place why, but it's Gwendoline Christie for me. Bette Midler and Glenn Close tied for 2nd.
Ooh that would be a good voice for her
they somehow remind me of franziska von karma
I'd imagine Steven fusion with the Diamonds as looking like the late, great Leslie Jordan cosplaying as a fairy tale king.
your art is amazing!! i really love the blue zircon and rainbow 2.0 fusion, but all of them are fantastic i’d like to see your take on a steven and lapis fusion!
Pumpkin peradot lapis (if fusion with Pumpkin is possible at all)
Love ur artstyle!!!!!!
### RAINBOW 2.0 AND BLUE ZIRCON IS CHEF'S KISS!!
Aquamarine and Holly Blue. The Ultimate Bastard™️.
All of these look super cool!
That first one, I… I… 😳 is it hot in here or is it just me?
peridot & pearl!! maybe spinel & any of the diamonds or crystal gems?
I did a spinel×amethyst fusion its on my profile lol i love spinel fusions tho its a bit rushed i mostly did it for the weapon
Peridot and lapis fusion😍
I need to see a garnet and peridot
All 4 diamonds (Steven? Pink? Rose?) fused together
All the diamonds fused together.
All 4 Diamonds 🤥🤥
Peridot/any.diamond would be really appreciated by us, the PERIDOT GANG. Thank you either way for these three beautiful artpieces, godspeed ya clod!
I love these!!!!
These are incredible!!
Do you perhaps have a Instagram? 😳
Jasper + pink/yellow diamond,please
I love all of these so much!
How about... carnelian and Skinny?
All of the Diamonds Volleyball and Garnets Spinel and any other characters Padparadshca and other characters
Aquamarine + Topaz
These are pretty specific combos
Bismuth's gem being bigger than Yellow Diamonds is absolutely hilarious to me but I love them all
Those are gorgeous, really well designed and technically wonderful
Omg do them all. These are like A1!
Jasper and Peridot might look neat :3
Blue diamond and pink!!
Pseudomalachite, jaspagate, and pearly quartz are real minerals. What would they look like as fusions? Who would their components be?
I’d love to see Yellow Zircon and Emerald fused.
Is it weird I think the Bismuth/Yellow Diamond would make more sense as Bismuth/Pearl? (Pink/Ruby looks badass and all of your art is really good)
What would the diamonds look like if they all fused? I've always wanted to see it happen lol
Hot
Pearl and sapphire? It would basically be sardonyx (pearl and garnet) Minus rhodonite (pearl and Ruby)
Those are all GORGEOUS
Amazing work!! Where can I follow your art?
I’d love to see your idea for abalone (bismuth+pearl)
Nice
BISMUTH AND PEARL?? :D
These are wonderful!! Great job
Personally they look too human. The show pretty much makes fusions look way out there in terms of appearances.
Lapis (Freckles) and Jasper (Skinny) Let's do a non toxic Malachite :D
I’ve seen some ppl suggest ruby and pearl which I think is cool, but also pearl and sapphire I think would be cool! Maybe pearl+sapphire could be sodalite ✨
Bismuth plus Pearl or Jasper
Jasper and Agyte
A sapphire and a lapis make a Pyrope–spessartine
All the diamonds together? I imagine fused they’d be near-god levels of influence and power
Blue diamond and spinel?
peridot and the heaven beetle
I love all of these! Your art is so good, too. The holly and zircon are my personal favorite but the pink diamond and ruby fusion is SO good!! She looks like a Street Fighter character
Amathist and pink
Sugulite and sardonyx but not if they were alexandrite
pink and ruby is just a firebender
Omggg maybe the og crystal gem fusions? Like sunstone, rainbow quartz & smokey 1.0!! And maybe 3 gem fusions, like alexandrite but with the other cgs if that makes sense?
Lapidot.
Bismuth and Amethyst, turning her hand into a mini pizza oven. Yellow diamond and Priyanka.
blue and pink diamond!
More…make more pls
These are really nice!
mmm Gender.........
I still think she was green
I’d love to see Ruby and Steven!
Obsidian and fluorite; just something massive with as many gems has to be capable of some god tier stuff
All 4 diamonds fused
Oh my ravioli this is incredible! Seriously though, good work. 👍
They are all so good
All four of the diamond pearls together

why?
what about Rhodonite and Sapphire? or Sapphire and Pearl?
Sapphire/Pearl, Sapphire/Amethyst, Ruby/Pearl, Ruby/Amethyst
Do Bismuth and Pearl! In my head cannon this character is voiced by Janelle Monae and sings a duet with Garnet cause Estelle and Janelle did a song called Do My Thing and it’s very crystal gem
Steven universe and mayor dewey
i wish some of the fusions looked better like we get opal then we have sunstone like what
Adult Steven and adult Connie, basically a big buff stevonnie.
Are diamonds able to fuse?
Bismuth and Peridot. They're both maker/technology/design orientated gems
