This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
I am all about Ace Peridot right now.
I mean, alright, yeah, technically, the Gems have no concept of sex in the first place – or any form of reproduction that doesn’t involve drilling a hole in the ground. On a literal level, they’re all asexual.
But that’s not a human experience. That’s made-up sci-fi gobbledygook. It doesn’t actually speak to the feelings or the experiences of actual asexual people. Or at the very least, it doesn’t really speak to mine.
But Peridot here… I like this.
There’s this…this physical form of intimacy, this incredible link that people can have between them that turns their love into something material, something of the flesh, and everyone around you keeps talking about how fantastic it is. It’s pretty much become an everyday part of their lives. And it’s kind of funny. And kind of weird. And you don’t really know what to think about it. Most of the time, it’s hard to picture yourself actually doing it. But at the same time, maybe part of you really wants to, at least once, just to see what it’s like. Just to see what all the noise is about. Or, then again, no, maybe you don’t.
Maybe someday you will.
Maybe someday you won’t.
Either way, whether or not you might choose to try it out one day, you just don’t feel the need like other people do. You’re not quite the same as them.
And that’s okay.
Having heard so much about how beautiful and amazing fusion is, Peridot seemed to have this idea that if she didn’t go through with it, then she would be doing something wrong – that it would be a fault or a failing, that it would make her a bad Crystal Gem. But, no. No, it doesn’t. It’s her right to say no. Any time. For any reason. It’s her right never to fuse at all if she doesn’t want to.
And Garnet’s here to let her know that nobody should ever be pressured or forced into a fusion they don’t want or one they’re not ready for.
You know, like, fusion is a lot of things. Because relationships can be a lot of things, and “fusion” is just a sci-fi gobbledygook word for “relationship.”
In The Answer, fusion was the scary, mysterious, giddy, giggly joy of a new relationship. The spark. The rush. The terrifying, wonderful electricity.
In Garnet, generally, it’s a deep and long-lasting commitment.
In Malachite, it’s the unhealthy, malevolent force that keeps two people who despise each other from letting each other go.
And, tonight, it was a physical experience that Peridot simply wants no part of. Certainly not right now. And maybe not ever. And she expected to be lambasted for that. She expected not to be accepted, but, instead, she found support and respect and compassion. And I just really appreciate that.
