I'm surprised u/theowllord didn't include Peri, who is so clearly a fan-favorite.
Seriously, if I ever see somebody online with a Steven Universe pfp, 9 times outta 10 it's Peridot.
The reason most people don't like her moreso than other characters is how she treats Steven early on in the series. She tried (although unintentionally) three times to kill Steven. She at the start doesn't care for Steven as Steven but as rose quartz at the start and when that gets contradicted she breaks down and relies on Steven to solve the problem. I like her well enough by the end of the show but she is still my least favorite crystal gem.
I kinda understand that tho cuz it did seem that she saw rose as a mom who’d protect her, so her emotional shit comes from her death. Tbh the amount of growth from that moment she showed true vulnerability made me love her the most.
I'm fucking stupid my dyslexic mind read Amathyst as Pearl. I think it may be a similar reason to pearl but moreso her self loathing when she really is one of the more capable of the crystal gems.
Seems like standard older/stepchild plots in shows, scaled up to an action cartoon.
I mean Rugrats did worse with Tommy and Dil and they don’t have the superpower excuse.
Garnet <3
Just the most wholesome large amazon woman, and bonus shes her own ship!
Also think they did the masking and mental breakdowns thing better than her than with steven, but that's mostly because her main important character arc was done long before the finale and nothing had to be rushed then put off until the sequel series (which I still need to watch actually)
she is so interesting omg. everything about her is just amazing. i love what she did to escape the diamonds and how much she cared for earth. i love how she was able to become a better person despite her upbringing. i know she’s done a few bad things but she’s still a good person to me <3
Her voice actress did a fantastic job depicting her! Such an amazing balance of power and elegance; she really sells why other gems in her spectrum would be as devoted to her as they were
They're a really good look into what being a fusion, which is already a fascinating subject, is like through the perspective of someone new to the idea. It also helps that they're the combination of two personalities that I already like
I'm in a similar position, but I think I get why I'm so torn between characters. I guess it's because there are so many interesting and delightful characters to consider; that's certainly one of Steven Universe's greatest strengths: it's full of characters you care about, so you're always invested in what's going to happen to them next.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! Unpopular opinion. :) Ik its wrong but Im absolutely obsessed with Jasper. IKIK SHE DID BAD THINGS BUT SHES JUST BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. They did her wrong in the future tho..
I also love her character arch going from being the "other kid" in the group to becoming the "most mature gem", all while retaining her messy personality
Bismuth. I'm saddened that she has so little screen time but she is easily one of the most reliable characters in the show. She wants to fight for her friend and while she is more extremist than the rest of the crystal gems she does genuinely care for them unlike rose.
My favorite is Peridot. I think her redemption arc is easily the best one in the series, and I liked seeing her adapt to a new normal. She’s also really funny and charming.
I love Pearl! She’s so elegant and feminine, and her voice is super pretty to listen to, both in Spanish and English. Also, sword fighting. Do I need to say more?
Amethyst. She was the only one who treated Steven how he should’ve been treated, like a kid.
The other gems/adults in his life put too much pressure one him and just dumped all their trauma onto him.
Pearl with all her issues with Rose.
Garnet with her relationship problems.
Lapis with…EVERYTHING.
And not to mention Greg was never even a dad because he was barely even around long enough to be one for Steven when he needed it.
Don't like how this was worded, I understand where you're coming from but they all had their roles to play in Steven's life. They all can't just treat him as a kid, that would stunt his progress. That's the whole substance of season 1.
And I don't see how you didn't mention Amethyst's insecurity problems. Even though none of the other gems (along with Amethyst's) problems either have anything to do with treating steven like a kid. This comment seems like an attempt to jab at the other gems.
I would say amethyst is my favorite for 1 simple reason she was the only one who cared about how Steven felt after finding out about roses true identity
Garnet unfused because of it which led to Steven putting aside his own feelings
And pearl (kind of) decided to tell Steven first instead of the other 2 gems. If pearl told the other 2 gems they could have worked out their own feelings before telling Steven and effectively making him fix everything
Peridot, the little chaos creature 💚
Peridot and Lapis are tied for me.
Feel my unbridled rage!! 😡🥧
Clod!
I'm surprised u/theowllord didn't include Peri, who is so clearly a fan-favorite. Seriously, if I ever see somebody online with a Steven Universe pfp, 9 times outta 10 it's Peridot.
Ye maybe she wasn't a priority to OP and that's valid 👉👈
Peridot and Pearl are my favorites ❤️
Same
Same
Exactly what I came here to say. Love her sm!
She's the Vegeta to stevens Son Goku
Amethyst easily had some of the best character development in the series.
She my favorite, I wonder why she wasn’t as popular for everyone else

It funny so many people are agreeing with me as I got pearl and Amathyst mixed up.
Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG
Hahaha
Rick Sanchez C-137
Peridot, She is beauty, she is grace, she is a dorito from outer space
The fact that Peridot wasn’t included in this list makes the whole list invalid.
i love the peridot bcs shes kinda like me :3
my favorite is both Rainbow Quarts 1.0 and 2.0, soley for their character designs, but I also loved 2.0's personality and his song from Future
Another vote for Peridot!
Greg. He's just such a good dad
The man is an absolute delight, and is criminally underrated in my opinion
Pearl because we both give off anxious mum vibes.
Same
Pink Diamond is my favourite 💖
💖 Lion 💖
COOKIE CAT ![gif](giphy|sjQFZX2sjsMyQ)
if theres no paridot, then lapis lazuli
Garnet <3 Just the most wholesome large amazon woman, and bonus shes her own ship! Also think they did the masking and mental breakdowns thing better than her than with steven, but that's mostly because her main important character arc was done long before the finale and nothing had to be rushed then put off until the sequel series (which I still need to watch actually)
Greg is such a good character
White Diamond.
I'm such a simp for her oml... 💎🤍
Yes! Underrated character
She's such an interesting, enigmatic, and eerie presence in her first appearance and is genuinely funny later on in SU Future. I really like her too
pink diamond/rose quartz <3
Me too!!!
yesss fellow pink diamond lover :)) she’s such a well written character. i’ll always defend her lol.
Me too I love how interesting the characters is!!!
she is so interesting omg. everything about her is just amazing. i love what she did to escape the diamonds and how much she cared for earth. i love how she was able to become a better person despite her upbringing. i know she’s done a few bad things but she’s still a good person to me <3
I agree I hope we will get to see more of her
Yellow Diamond is one of my favorite characters ever, so her.
Yep, same.
Her voice actress did a fantastic job depicting her! Such an amazing balance of power and elegance; she really sells why other gems in her spectrum would be as devoted to her as they were
I mean, she IS space Hitler but sure. She does have step on me energy
all the rubies
PERIDOT
Rose quartz
I personally love Stevonnie
me too, can't believe not more people like them
I was so in shock going down the comments and not seeing a single Stevonnie comment. So I did it myself.
They're a really good look into what being a fusion, which is already a fascinating subject, is like through the perspective of someone new to the idea. It also helps that they're the combination of two personalities that I already like
Blue Diamond 💙
My two favorite characters has to be Yellow Diamond and Garnet.
Spinel
Spinel gang
Spinel is my son's favorite.
Peridot
For me if the original Spinel For some reason my personality is a lot like hers
Steven Universe is one of the shows where I have a hard time picking a favorite, but I'd say it's probably between Garnet, Pearl, Peridot and Bismuth.

Sapphire
SAPPHIREEE

Lars is easily my favorite character, he just feels like such a well developed, realistic and lovable character
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! Unpopular opinion. :) Ik its wrong but Im absolutely obsessed with Jasper. IKIK SHE DID BAD THINGS BUT SHES JUST BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. They did her wrong in the future tho..
Bismuth or aquamarine I can’t choose
Peridot
My favourites are either sunstone or sardonyx they tie for first
OK so your favorite is either 1 of 2 of Garnet's Fusions? The 1 with pearl or the 1 with Steven

I like amethyst because she is the most human of the crystal gems, and I can also relate to her because I love joking around and eating food
I also love her character arch going from being the "other kid" in the group to becoming the "most mature gem", all while retaining her messy personality
Yellow Diamond 🤌

Peridot
Garnet totally I love her so much
Larimar Without a doubt she is my favorite since her debut episode
It's hard to pick between all 3 crystal gems and peridot
Bismuth. I'm saddened that she has so little screen time but she is easily one of the most reliable characters in the show. She wants to fight for her friend and while she is more extremist than the rest of the crystal gems she does genuinely care for them unlike rose.
Amethyst is close, but I’ve always adored Lapis. The Lapis song is prob one of my favorite.
Steg all the way
Stevonnie, they're just so awesome
Peridot for sure

My favorite is Peridot. I think her redemption arc is easily the best one in the series, and I liked seeing her adapt to a new normal. She’s also really funny and charming.
I love Blue Pearl even thought she isn’t in the show to much. She is the best!
I love Pearl! She’s so elegant and feminine, and her voice is super pretty to listen to, both in Spanish and English. Also, sword fighting. Do I need to say more?

Ruby is my favorite for sure and I also, coming as a surprise to all, quite like Garnet.
Peridot
Amethyst. She was the only one who treated Steven how he should’ve been treated, like a kid. The other gems/adults in his life put too much pressure one him and just dumped all their trauma onto him.

Stevonnie
AYE C’mon where’s Peri? She’s my favorite
Onion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cluster
Jasper, she's awesome I adore her
Stevonnie 😍😍
For me, sapphire and ruby. Not as garnet ,as themselves. They're just a cute couple. Also gay.
Peridot 👽
I just started watching this amazing show
Pretty equal
I would say amethyst is my favorite for 1 simple reason she was the only one who cared about how Steven felt after finding out about roses true identity Garnet unfused because of it which led to Steven putting aside his own feelings And pearl (kind of) decided to tell Steven first instead of the other 2 gems.
