She’s small. So are Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby can also act childish, and Peridot can act deadly serious. Like….any person I’ve ever known, including myself!
The fandom does not have a very good track record of getting their facts straight.
Remember when fusion was definitely gem sex, even when the Gems tried to teach Steven and Stevonnie happened?
Remember when Lapis agreeing to fuse with Jasper was “rape”, until Pearl tricked Garnet into fusion?
Remember when Peridot was surely Josef Mengele because of the Cluster?
Yeah. Tumblr’s logic is convenient at best.
TL;DR? Yep, I still ship Perinaldo. Looking at the Lapidot tag, this whole “Peridot is a child” kerfkuffle is just an excuse for the fandom bads to shit on ships they don’t like again. And Lord knows I am beyond sick of THAT.
also nvm the creators already debunked “child gems” but ok
