I love almost the entire cast, but I really love Pearl. I love her relationship with Steven as she's really his mom which makes her relation to Rose more interesting. It's also fun how she has her zany moments like telling Amethyst she can't be a moat crocodile because she never commits! Then there was her running off like a cat when Steven caught her watching him. She does have some of the funniest expressions, certainly. That said, I do love all three of their motherly sides. Pearl's is perhaps the most overt, but Garnet certainly has her maternal side, too. Amethyst's often shows up in situations of being upset with him for almost getting into serious trouble, like in Fusion Cuisine and Joy Ride.

Favorite Crystal Gem- Garnet
Favorite Homeworld- Invader Zim Peridot
Not saying much because there isn't a Gem I have seen that I hate, really I love them all, and the more we get in the cast and the more backstory and personality revealed about each just makes me love them all the more

It's really cute, and it'd be fun if we did get a Peridot song eventually. A bit of an obvious sort of question, but who is your favorite Gem, folks? Homeworld and Crystal, each, if you want to make it easier, in which case, Lapis and Pearl, respectively, but I have liked every Gem we've had so far as characters. Also, favorite non-Garnet and Stevonnie fusion, since those would probably win too easily? I'd go with Opal, but again, I've liked all of the ones we've had so far. Rainbow Quartz took a sec to grow on me, but I quite like it. I think it'd be a hell of a moment if Peridot or Jasper got the upper hand on the gems and did a mockery of "Stronger Than You" with the lyrics changed around to be negative and hopeless. Opal might be my favorite moment of the show among anything, including "Stronger Than You" and Stevonnie (started off great, but I thought the rave and everything was kinda...meh). The whole "Giant Woman" episode was my official "alright, I'll never miss an episode of this" moment. I must seem to be some rebel to like Amethyst, but I just "relate" to her more I guess. I had a lot of her struggles growing up, and in high school. I was a bully and a shitty kid growing up and was trying to reform myself at that point and it felt like the past and bad habits I had trouble shaking kept biting me in the ass. I get that same vibe from her. Plus I also at times hate the character of Pearl. There's times (non-flashback...I know when I say this it'll conjure up thoughts of Rainbow Quartz and her " " attitude about it) where the "trying to protect everyone and do what's best" intentions aren't even there and it just seems like she's being petty. And I can forgive it because I think that's the intention, but it annoys me when she goes off like that.

Garnet's my favorite gem. I can't describe why though, she just reminds me of Piccolo I guess.

I think it also shows up in how often she plays with Steven, and whenever she encourages him.

I do love that in Chille Tid, her and Pearl believe Steven about his dream. It shows how much trust they've built in him. Compare it to them doubting him in Warped Tour and Marble Madness(The latter instance he f***ed up on some, but had he not done it, they'd have probably had Peridot show up eventually, anyway, to see what kept breaking everything but they'd have had no warning).

And Little Amethyst only further drove that home in Story for Steven and We Need to Talk. I wanna see Little Pearl badly now...

God, I wish this show had toys. I need some action figures.
Honestly? I don't think I can think of any character that has been on this show I didn't like on some level. Granted, "like" in the sense of thinking they performed their role well. Marty was a real piece of shit.

Well its not an action figure per say but Titan Figures will be releasing CN Vinyl Figures in Blind Bag Fashion, and one of them will be Steven! All below are available along with some character accessories with them, and four Mystery Vinyl's
Honestly, not a bad assortment by CN. I'm just glad they remember their awesome past shows, unlike some Networks...

While I do like each of the Crystal Gems a lot especially in the later half of the season 1 when their character development went through the roof, Garnet has always been my overall favorite by a very narrow margin.
This scene was the small push over the cliff.
Favorite Home world gem would have to be Jasper. She got an awesome introduction in The Return when she basically Brock Lesnared the Crystal Gems and headbutted poor Steven to cap off the episode. Sure she got her comeuppance in Jailbreak, but she remains a very viable threat that could return at any time even more so as part of an unstable fusion (Malachite). Which coincidentally is also my favorite fusion character.

Cool, and I hope Steven's not super difficult to get or expensive, then I might get it. Otherwise, I dunno, even if I do like most of those characters.

Toys for the show would be cool, I believe there was something about them releasing merchandise at some point soon. What I want the most is a coloring book, because it'd have the show's beautiful art in it!

In like October or so, there's going to be an activity book, it might have coloring pages. There's also going to be some guide to the Crystal Gems from the point of view of Steven, written by Rebecca Sugar. Odds are I'll buy both, they're advertised for like 8 bucks or something, so it's a cheap way to show my appreciation and support the show, plus it's said to have original art in it.

There's also an IOS, Android game: Attack The Light which is a pretty fun Paper Mario clone. It's a bit on the short side for a JRPG, but it is under five dollars.

My favorite Crystal Gem is Pearl. Don't really have a favorite Homeworld Gem. But as others have said, I lie pretty much every character.
And I can't praise the music enough. Hell, the whole show is just brilliant.
