>>96296309I actually would have loved a story arc where Steven and Pearl needed to become Rainbow Quartz. (of course, this fusion of RBQ would look different)
Only like with Sardonyx, Pearl starts to insist they fuse for increasingly trivial reasons and holding onto the fusion for longer (causing the Fusiobn to start taking on malachite or Smoky Quartz levels of deformed) until Pearl breaks down and admits that it was the closest she had felt to having Rose back.
And for the first time, Steven genuinely would have trouble just letting go of this and let out that he's tired of everyone casting him in his mother's shadow.
Blah blah, eventual crying and make up.
And eventually a new Rainbow Quartz is formed, this one very different from Rose and Pearl's, but it's there. (Also, just to change things up, instead of being feminene leaning, Steven and Pearl's RBQ would look more bishonen style pretty boy)
