I know a lot of people are hyped over the idea that Peridot might get a redemption arc and side with the Crystal Gems, but I’m even more invested in her siding with them out of necessity, not heart, and just becoming a relentless sarcastic nuisance all the time.

–

“Gems! Where do you keep your flux transmodulator?”
“…No one here knows what that word means, Peridot.”
“Oh. Oh lovely. Of course. Crash with the cavemen great idea, Peridot. None of the others have to deal with this. I suppose I’ll just make my own–oh wait, no I won’t, because I’m stuck on miserable earth, where its inhabitants are too primitive to own the parts necessary in building a simple flux transmodulator.”

–

“Garnet! Pearl! Amethyst! Make Peridot give back the TV!”
“…Peridot, why have you taken the television away from Steven?”
“This is not my fault! The Steven was going to great lengths to explain his investment in the emotionally unstable food morsels–after I clearly asked him to not engage me in conversation–and so perhaps I removed the television from the wall and took it and–.”
“…”
“I’m…I’m giving it back. But he has to stop discussing it, okay?!”

–

*Jasper voice* “Is this how low you’ve sunk? You call yourself a Homeword Gem?! You’re an embarrassment to Yellow Diamond, Peridot. I return after three weeks and find that you’ve allied yourself with these miserable wretches.”
“Oh suree. This is clearly my fault! Not like I was marooned in hostile territory because you damaged the ship. Not like I’ve been here alone fending for myself ever since Lapis took you for a swim. This was obviously my choice! Holing up with these vile, defective, fused, half-mutant things!”
“Peridot that’s not nice! I gave you stickers and did your hair.”
“…Holing up with these…vile, defective, fused things…and also Steven.”

I’m bringing this back because my hope is strong.
