ProgramGamer aka Mireille @programgamer.com · 13/08/2026I do not subscribe to the notion that fusions are automatically an allegory for relationships. They certainly can be framed that way, but I believe in the lapis/jasper case it was literally just jasper grasping for power and getting burned for it. 130
Grexius [COMMS OPEN] @grexius.bsky.social · 14/08/2026While I agree with that notion on paper, malachite has way too much theming around (dysfunctional) relationships for it to not be considered allegory (Consider Garnet saying they're terrible for each other, or everything that happens on the boat both before and after Jasper shows up) 000
