#ok I gotta do my science BYEEEE

It just occurred to me that the reason the Crystal Gem rebellion was able to stand up to home world’s forces wasn’t because their leader was secretly pink diamond

The Crystal gems were insanely out numbered and out gunned.

But they were doing one thing home world was not.

They were FUSING.

“But homeworld gems fused! The rubies fused just fine!”

They fused DIFFERENT GEMS. It’s clear that fusing the same gem makes a gem as powerful as how ever many were fused. So a fusion of five rubies is as strong as five rubies. It’s bigger so that’s nice too.

But when you fuse two or more DIFFERENT gems you get a being more powerful than the sum of their parts.
