Amethyst got limb enhancers to fit in the height requirement at the ball, you sped, nothing else. Because she was PD's "court". They're not sending her to fight a war or anything so she doesn't need fighting equipment. For a show where everyone goes over it with a fine tooth comb they sure do miss a lot of obvious shit.
Eh, this is a criticism I can kinda get just because it’s part of a bigger criticism that SU doesn’t seem to get how people work and that misunderstanding has lead to the show’s world to be wholly milquetoast and lifeless. Hell, half the tine it seems like SU’s humans don’t even know that Gems were even a thing. Like it or not, religion is a huge part of human civilization and history (to the point that neuroscientists theorize that there’s a physical area in the brain that allows religion to be possible called the God Spot - or G Spot) and to claim that these massive and powerful extraterrestrial beings have occupied the same planet for almost the entirety of human development and had absolutely no impact on humans or their culture/mythology is retarded to say the least.
The limb enhancer thing is pretty weird actually, just not for the reason these spergs are screaming about. Like, if they’re shape-shifting space lesbians, why can’t she just stretch her limbs out to be taller? This show really doesn’t make any sense, but it’s certainly nothing to write literal essays about.
It's explained that if she stretches herself to be taller than she naturally is, it puts too much of a strain on her and she could hurt herself.
I always figured that PD's hair is light enough to pass for Rose's skintone and Amethyst has inverted her color scheme at least once before. Pearl's coloration is total bullshit though, it's bright fucking pink for all of one episode and "coral pink" or what many would consider orange for the rest, and God knows they'll pull some bullshit like "white contains all colors so it doesn't matter". Meanwhile it's never been explained exactly how Rose shifted her gem, covered her irises, and changed her skin (they don't even say "oh yeah she inverted her color scheme") but they're definitely going to boil it down to "durr hurr diamond power".
I don’t recall Amethyst ever inverting her color palette, unless you’re referring to the cat. In which case I wouldn’t consider that a palette swap since when she transforms into something with hair it’s always light, and since a cat is technically covered in hair it only makes sense that form would be too - if you shaved her in that form you’d probably see her dark skin underneath.
Well here's one instance of Amethyst's palette swap while shapeshifted
That's how you can tell they are used to writing fanfic.
Steven Universe: *has an episode about a broken family being shown the error of their ways and working towards fixing their relationships with each other*
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA they're already signed for a sixth season, keep dreaming.
