That was no simple slip-up. You don’t just make a mistake like that, not after having to identify yourself like that for the better part of your life.

You actually see her being taken aback by Yellow Diamond’s response. She’s caught off guard, disappointed. She’d forgotten that just “Peridot” wasn’t enough to tell her apart. She’d become used to the idea of being unique. 

When do you think that happened? When did she stop seeing herself as “Facet-2F5L, Cut-5XG” and start being Peridot with a capital P? Was it after being stranded, due to the lack of contact with another peridot for months on end? Or was it after the truce with the Crystal Gems, brought on by them addressing her as just Peridot day after day?

Facet-2F5L, Cut-5XG. That’s all she’ll ever be to Homeworld. That’s all all the other peridots will ever be. But on Earth, she is Peridot. The one and only. In a way, that’s gotta be liberating.

You got all this from one episode?

dont u test me m8 i know how to make gifs

#you can also see in logdate 715 2 how she transitions from referring to the others as ‘the steven’ or ‘the pearl’ or ‘the fusion’#to just calling them ‘steven’ or ‘pearl’ etc#(and this was in her logs not just what she said in public)#so i’m sure that also shaped how she thought of herself#what a good show

what good tags

Also, THIS:

Peridot’s refering to herself as “the” Peridot, but it’s a little different than referring to the OTHERS as “the Steven” or “the Pearl”. 

She’s “The GREAT AND LOVABLE Peridot”. Not “A” Peridot. The only one! The great and lovable! Unique!

ptsd–peridot:

you don’t know how important it is that Peridot has autistic traits, like breaking down, using extreme logic over feelings, hyper focusing and missing social cues

it’s important because kids learn people who do this are still valuable and have worth, that even people who have verbal tics and breakdowns aren’t less than people.

it’s important for autistic people because it validates us and shows people we can still connect and feel emotions, things that are constantly denied that autistic people can do.

it’s important because it normalizes our behaviors and even makes these behaviors acceptable: such as Garnet valuing Peridot’s input on her shipping and comforting her when she was breaking down.

The Gems are treating Peridot very carefully: they’re not infantilizing her behaviors and not demonizing her either. They are helping her learn how Earth works. They don’t get onto her for not having enough empathy in certain situations, such as when she drawls on and bores Steven being unable to relate to him. They actually encourage her.

This is a huge thing thing. It encourages kids to be more accepting of autistic people and makes me so, so happy that a character who finally acts like I do is on television.

I’m so glad Peridot is coded autistic. I really, really am.
