    padparadscha is honestly actually really useful. she can help to clarify the past, like for example when garnet complimented the gems she wasn’t aware that she made them uncomfortable until after padparascha said something, and i’d love to see this kinda thing explored more!
  • @SzaraWilk
    I don't like when people say fusion is like sex. Fusions are strong bonds. Sex is not needed to make bonds.
  • @triccele
    You forgot an important point with Padparadscha. Despite her "future" vision only tells think that just happen, she has an external knoledge of the stuff, like realizing Lars was pressing the wrong button.
  • The Off-Colors are based on some Alice in Wonderland characters Fluorite: Caterpillar Rutile Twins: Tweedledee and Tweedledum Padparadsha: The White Rabbit (for “being late” with her predictions) Rhodonite: The March Hare This is further proved by the fact Steven and Lars met them when they fell in the deeper underground like a Rabbit Hole
  • @donrob7779
    Padparadscha’s which she clearly can’t pronounce, has value in her power, remember she was the only who knew Lars was using the wrong button on the screen, her value is she can see things that everyone else didn’t
  • @justaduck3615
    I think Lars is one of the only characters who went from one of my least to most favourite characters in such a small amount of time.
  • @cramerfloro5936
    1:19 Kris Carr: Padparadascha... ... 10:06 Padparadscha: I predict the nice lady from Youtube will pronounce my name wrong.
  • Rhodonite: Anxiety Fluorite: Polyamory Padparadscha: Delayed Reaction Rutile Twins: Conjoined Twins
  • Imagine trying to have a conversation with Padparadshca. I can imagine it being something like, you say something, wait a minute or two, get a reply, repeat. It can take a while, but it’s worth seeing what she think of the world and of you! Also: I own some rhodonite and rainbow flourite, along with amethyst and many other gems. I love gemology
  • @Kat66699
    Also padparadscha is apparently supposed to represent autism, which is shown with her delayed reactions to everything.
  • @emilymorano2923
    I love padparacha, nobody else seems to have pointed it out, while she cant see the future she has a really good perception about events that just passed, like how she said Garnet made everyone uncomfortable, her abilities are more emotional insight though, I know theres other examples of her doing this but I cant think of them right now 😅
  • I hope Rhodonite gets to infuse and reform into a more cohesive looking fusion. I think she hasn’t infused or reformed since Morganite, so she looks that Cotton Candy Garnet.
  • @gracemistress
    Padparadsha is actually perfect in her role of technical support because she's great at troubleshooting and explaining/predicting what went wrong and therefore give a clue on how to fix the problem. Example: "I predict Lars will press the wrong button"
  • @Peridot5xg
    [Fluorite is the worm from Alice in the Wonderland]
  • @cramerfloro5936
    4:20 I always felt like Padparadscha's design was based on Daisy. Well, her pallette was simply changed so...
  • @kriscarr4929
    That moment when you say a gem’s name wrong and all your symbolism and research gets overshadowed by it 🤦🏻‍♀️Sorry you guys!!! I add “A’s” where there shouldn’t be and we didn’t catch me going full swamp donkey on it while filming. I’m my only fact checker and I gotta have a big talk with me and do better😅
  • @Kiterpuss
    I still really want to see the story of Fluorite. I want to see a genuine love story about two gems that grows into three. Then four, five, and six. I want to know what unites the six together and see what would make someone "the right gem" to make the septet. From a writing standpoint, Garnet is one of the most fascinating characters I've ever seen because of her status as two entities merged into a new entity. Fluorite is like that but even more so.
  • @SerenityM16
    Padparscha is my favorite, she’s my little orange space muffin ✨🧡✨
  • @shybiscket
    I would like to add that patparacha may have a lot of situational and emotional intelligence. She predicted everyone would be uncomfortable when Garnet complimented them. Something that was obvious to us but maybe she could add additional details.
