hvkryter:

also a thing I noticed today and something I really like

notice how Smokey Quartz moves and fights with that third arm

they don’t just move and flip around, but they use that arm to control the doomyo, pulling on the cord and forcing it into new trajectories that would be completely impossible for someone with only two arms.

A fusion’s additional limbs and eyes aren’t just for looks. They serve a purpose. Maybe they’re deliberate, or perhaps the fusion adapts fighting styles to fit their new awesome body, but those modifications are always taken full advantage of.

Garnet? THREE EYES, BUDDY, three eyes to scope out the world and seriously ridiculous precision even without future vision

Rainbow Quartz? Those multiple eyes function independantly, they’d be perfect for scoping out a battlefield and looking at everything going on at once.

Opal? She needs those arms to pull that impossibly massive bow, far further than a classic human-biped could.

Sugilite? Four arms, indepandantly rotatintg for incredibly powerful punches and controlling that giant flail.

Alexandrite? WHERE DO I EVEN START, a giant flip-face and maw for biting and breathing fire, arms shaped and positioned to use all possible weapons with no limits or weaknesses

Sardonyx? Articulating body affords incredible flexibility and rotating for additional hammer power.

Malachite? PURE JUGGERNAUT that cannot be pinned down however she is held, just powering on and flying and swimming, every limb is a fist to hit you, multiple eyes for excellent visual acuity

basically i just love these reminders that a fusion’s non human traits aren’t a sign of relationship flaws or anything like that, they are useful traits and attributes the Gems love
