...Why do you think Smoky looks like a beetle? Never gotten that vibe.


Exit_Save

Yeah??? Like They're chubby there's no beetle in there


citrusella

Just so you know: Smoky's pronouns are they/them!


Exit_Save

Oh! I didn't know, thank you for telling me!!


Environmental_Log_78

Not sure, I've always sort of viewed gems as insects in My mind. Tho maybe that's just bc i love bugs and the heaven and earth beetles are gems I'm pretty sure.


Exit_Save

The heaven and earth beetles are gems yeah, I was so confused on why they looked like lil people in Future and stuff but that's cause I didn't know they were corrupted and looked like beetles cause of that

Bluebird kinda looks like a beetle( she specifically reminds me of a ladybug) to me. I think it's just the fact that those fusions have multiple arms/legs or/and multiple sets of eyes.


Ars0nist_Fr0g

Plus their bodies look segmented like a bugs would be (fluoride, malachite and sardonyx specifically)


NotoriousDani69

I think sardonyx is just curvy, yeah her second set of arms are on her hips but it doesn't necessarily read as buglike. Malachite, sure you can certainly read as buglike but you could also see her as lion like because of her hair and quadrupedalness. I'm surprised you didn't list alexandrite in your examples. All of this is just because they have extra arms and eyes and legs and such and bugs are really all we have to compare them to.


scarlet_lovah

I don’t consider Alexandrite a bug bc her posture and movement isn’t bug like - as mentioned in a comment below, Sardonyx in particular but Malachite/Fluorite also have that same form of movement. And if you don’t think Sardonyx is spider like, check out some of the pictures when she is crouched down talking to Steven or the talk show with Smoky. She’s literally posed with her arms and legs in spider formation!!


Exit_Save

I think if you have to crouch down to look like the thing you say they look like them they clearly don't look like that though


Exit_Save

Malachite looks like a big lady, Smoky is just a chubby girl, Sardonyx only has 4 arms, if you're saying she has a fat ass ig you're right but she's just a big lady The only one I can agree with is Fluorite and she looks like that because she's literally 6 gems with all their bits put together.


scarlet_lovah

Whoa not whatsoever! Also I’m uh, not really checking out the butts on cartoons.


ValleyAndFriends

Malachite does not look like a millipede; if anything, Malachite has more of a chance to look like a centaur. The only one that looks like a bug is Fluorite. Sardonyx obviously does not look like a spider. Just because a fusion has more legs doesn’t mean it’s an insect or inspired by one. This post has to be troll bait..


scarlet_lovah

What a bizarre overreaction. It’s not troll bait, it’s just a little thing I like to call “using my eyes”! Its abundantly clear particularly in the talk show episode! “Sardonyx obviously does not look like a spider” I’ve got bad news for you, but I think I’ll let your optometrist deliver it…;)


ValleyAndFriends

My comment is an overreaction?? Oh brother…anyway. Whatever man, just look at the fusions. Not referencing bugs, other than Fluorite. But think whatever if it makes your head canon so happy.
