You know, since it's Pride Month (and also I miss them), I feel like reminding everyone how fucking important Ruby and Sapphire were.
The way they were both unambiguously conceived as queer characters and let the writers make an established character queer retroactively. The fact that as soon as they share the screen, they immediately show how in love they are, without any ambiguity to please the censors, and they do that almost every episode they're in.
How their relationship isn't always 100% perfect, and they do conflict and fall out, but make up in the end because they genuinely love each other. How they were allowed to be iconic parts of the show, not just through being the focus of two of its most famous songs (Stronger Than You and Here Comes A Thought) but also through the book version of The Answer.
The fact they got the first gay kiss...
...and the first gay wedding in the history of kid's TV.
The way their reception showed networks that yes, people do enjoy media with queer characters, and so they contributed to many other series with prominent LGBTQ characters getting greenlit.
I honestly don't think it's exaggerating to say they're among the most important queer characters in the history of fiction for all that. And people need to say it more, and demand stuff like them more.

Towering decapod crustaceans walk across fields full of warm and steamy springs to keep themselves warm in the middle of winter. These giants start out their lives as drab little crabs sticking all sorts of muck onto their shells, just like decorator crabs!- unlike decorator crabs, these yet to be nammed moving landmasses get to disproportional huge sizes, no matter what. They're probably the largest living thing in the marshes alongside fungal colonies growing on the peat. What do they eat? dragons, of course! what else would a crab eat?
