Hey!! My name is Vee and I'm a master at doodling and procrastination. 8) I really love making OCs and playing video games when I'm not snoozing, so if you ever wanna talk about either feel free to hit me up. I sometimes do requests so you're welcome to send some my way!
;;okay I lied I didn’t go to bed yet I decided to vent draw and scribble the cat babe & made a promo thing with it. So here’s the pic without everything attached to it
(♥ó㉨ò)ﾉ♡
sometime, i notice that garnet acts more like ruby or more like sapphire.
like in love letters
when garnet says NO YOU DON”T to jamie, her visor is more red, she say this pretty sternly.
but when she gives her little speech about how jamie is a good actor, her tone is calmer, kinder. Her viser also changes color to be mostly blue with only the flash of heart broken jamie, when it comes back to her, the visor is different.
there was also in reformed, garnet answers amethyst very calmly, explaining that she followed the slinker through a tunnel. her visor is mostly blue when she speaks calmly.
see here, garnet gets more sassy and a little in amethyst’s face about the slinker. her tone is much stricter than a second ago and her visor is mostly red.
I decided to look into this in other episodes, and the first one I checked out was Future Vision. I figured there’d be a good flash here or there whenever actually discussing Sapphire’s unique power comes into play.
But blue is not an element of Garnet’s design in Future Vision.
Only her post-reformation form has blue. This method only works with season 2 Garnet, then, if it does at all.
Given that this is the case, it seems the best examples to search for would be those instances in which Ruby and Sapphire literally speak to each other, aloud, through Garnet.
There’s no flashing back and forth here, though there is a clear split, in contrast to OP’s examples, where there are not three sections of color, but two. I’m unclear whether that is her default design, or whether the split in this scene is noteworthy. Note that the triple-color design appears in the neutral pose above.
Garnet’s visor is slapped off by the main shard fusion in the Kindergarten, but when Ruby and Sapphire talk to each other in this scene,
The visible pupil color is significant and identifies which of the two is speaking.
Beyond that? I searched for two different Garnet emotions. I found the moment at which she is frozen in fear — likely, paralyzed in deep thought — in Keeping It Together, and her visor does flash mostly blue.
And, at her angriest, in Cry For Help, her visor is mostly red, with a new design element —
A jagged line between the two. The colors on her visor are actually really volatile during this scene.
They’re red when Garnet initially doesn’t understand what’s happened. They’re blue when Pearl says it just feels good being Sardonyx, pictured above. They’re back to red seconds later, after dropping Pearl
“THAT’s why I couldn’t see us finding Peridot!”
They’re even split again, this time with a jagged line, as Garnet advances on Pearl — “You tricked me!”
Sapphire and Ruby vying for control, perhaps?
Either way, I’d say that, starting with season 2, Garnet’s visor color is in fact a tool that the crew uses here and there to indicate that one of Ruby or Sapphire is exerting most influence, when the Ruby v. Sapphire distinction is of significance.
This actually happens in “Stronger than you” as well! (forgive me, i don’t have screenshots) But during more aggressive lines, Ganret’s visor is reddish, during less agrressive lines it’s blue, and during the “I am their Fury, I am their patience, I am a conversation” lines it’s practically clear, implying absolute balance.
I got you
And these next two caps are literally consecutive frames
