Ugh I know, I'm so grateful (if slightly amazed) that it's getting made. Apparently it comes back sometime in early August! Though I don't think it's another weeklong deal.
Amethyst really did have an amazing quiet arc. Because it was definitely set up with stuff like her episode about reforming but at the same time, her levelling up of maturity in such a profound way didn't feel strongly foreshadowed to me, and yet, when it happened, it made so much sense. And it was also still grounded in the parts of her that aren't so healthy. Like she's able to empathise because she's feeling left out - it's her reaction to feeling left out that's changed: instead of lashing out and demanding attention, she offers it. OH AMETHYST. I really hope (and think) more of that's coming too.
It's exciting cus while I love all the gems, Amethyst is probably the one I feel least engaged with, but this is starting to change that.
