Description Here's an unpopular opinion for ya:
In my personal opinion i find Peridot from Steven Universe VERY overrated.

Yes! I said it!
I mean, there's this ginormous amount of fanart, fanfics, videos, memes, people with profile pictures of her, rule 34, etc.
I once searched on Googleimages the word Peridot and 99 % of the pictures were of the character Peridot and the other 1 % left was about the actual mineral. I think she's more popular than Steven himself.
Hell, there's even a porn parody video of her made by Zonetan! (don't ask me how i know).
There's just so much hype to her and i'm just standing there like "what?"

Now, do i hate Peridot? No. Not really. Actually it's quite the opposite:
As a character herself, she's fine. She's a character that's pretty entertaining in a lot of moments, her character developement is neat and i even liked the episode wich was basically The Roadrunner and The Coyote.
Do i like her? Yes, yes i do, but i don't like her that much to the point that the only thing i do 24/7 is make dank memes about her and ship her with Lapis, Amethyst or whoever.

One of the reasons i heard of why she's so popular is that Rebecca Sugar made Peridot as a reference to Invador Zim, and since a lot of people watched Invader Zim, they felled in love with her.
But here's the thing about me:
I never watched Invader Zim as a kid or at least remember to do so. So i guess her "nostalgic powers" don't affect me in the slightest.

So those were my thoughts on the Peridot hype. I'm sorry but i had to take that off my chest. If you, yes you, the one reading this longass description, like Peridot, ship Lapidot or whatever related to Peridot, that is perfectly and completely fine, more power to you. Nobody is forcing you to agree with me on this. In fact, i'm actually happy that you appreciate something that i don't. And if you do agree with me that is fine too, at least it makes me happy that i'm not completely alone in this world.
But remember, this is MY OPINION, emphasis on MY and OPINION. You have to remember that these are my thoughts and not yours. You can't make me change them for what they are and you must respect them with all sincerity as well as i respect yours. And no, i'm not disabling the comments on this one because i like to hear what people think of my work. But if you do have something to say about my thoughts and it is disrespectful, don't say anything at all, or at least do so but in a way that's not offensive.
Because remember the old saying:
"If you want to say something but it's not good, then don't bother opening your mouth".

Btw, for those wondering, yes that's me. It's first time that i draw myself on this page. I got a haircut a 2 weeks ago and that is how it looks right now.

Have a good day/night/afternoon/etc!

I had a bit of beef towards her popularity at the time I made this and I had to get it out of my system. That said, I think she's okay as a character but I respect your opinion.

I wouldn't say i hate Lapis per say. She's a well developed character (in my eyes) but she does have her moments where her apathy can make her a little bit bitchy. But i still respect your opinion regardless.

I don't hate you at all. I just think your popularity's a bit too big for its own good. It's not my fault i never watched Invader Zim as a kid. It just never aired whenever i watched Nickelodeon at the time.
PLEASE FORGIVE MEEEE!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for forgiving me Peri. I thought that yould would never forgive a monster like me. I promise you this type of things will stop happening (at the very least for a long while). Now, this "Invader Zim" people keep comparing you to was an american Nickelodeon show from the early 2000s that your creator Rebecca Sugar apparently loved it so much that she created you as a reference to it. So...everything is okay between both of us?

CaseyDinoHeart In reply to zebG [2017-04-02 05:19:01 +0000 UTC]

Peridot: well, it really wasn't hard for me to get into the show, as they tried to use real PERIDOTS, but all of them were too pompous, so they used me instead, which I am a Jade rather than an actual peridot, you can tell because my gem has a smooth cut, while real peridots have polygonal cuts. The role wasn't hard for me to get as I was one of their only choices left, also because I was a nervous wreck and they had to get me in otherwise I'd have a panic attack,but they ended up liking my acting, so they used me in the show playing as a "peridot".

How are your relations with the rest of the show's cast? Do you all get along off camera as shown onscreen or is there any actor/actress in particular you don't like.

CaseyDinoHeart In reply to zebG [2017-04-02 05:26:53 +0000 UTC]

Peridot: well, I honestly have a relationship with the actress playing as Amethyst, I can't help it, she's just too awesome and pretty not to date...As of the rest, Steven is like a brother to me, we hang out a lot. As of Pearl, we kinda have an on and off relationship...For Garnet, I never got to know her two halves, but she helps me understand fusion while being offset, heck I fused with Steven a couple of times off screen, and I fused one time with the actress for amethyst. I didn't really have a dislike for anyone really, I got along just fine with everyone, even that Jasper that sadly passed away on screen...She was already dying, so her final wish was for me to end her on screen so she wouldn't have to suffer her illness...May she rest in peace...

CaseyDinoHeart In reply to zebG [2017-04-02 05:36:25 +0000 UTC]

Peridot: well...Lapis and I are best friends! Greg and I never really talk, but we watch races on TV and show marathons at times. I am great friends with Rose, whom is actually Steven's mom, but he is not dead, she is alive, but only offset, she is only portrayed as dead in the show. As for the humans...I never talked to the cool kids, they are out of my league... I already said my relationship with Jasper. I never officially met bismuth, but she seems pretty cool, I'd like to be friends with her. I don't know Holly blue either. And for the diamonds...It's basically the same relationship as Cartman and Kyle with us...

Peridot: well, there were a few times where pearl almost accidentally killed Steven, luckily they stopped in time to save him, and kept trying until they got it right. However, when Jasper got Steven, she literally tried to kill Steven while filming! We stopped her before he actually got killed, he was barely clinging on to life and was almost dead...He was bleeding everywhere, bones, muscles, and even some organs were spilling out! It took a while for him to heal, which is why that episode took very long to make.
