Spoiler Well, Lion has been around for 6,000+ years or something so I'd have to assume. Something near immortality at least.
Spoiler His slow heartbeat and lack of need to eat seem to suggest it. Lion is implied to be like 200 years old at least, and even if he's only been around since shortly before Steven was born, that's still 14 years which seems to be pretty old for a lion.
Spoiler: ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS I dunno if anyone else has brought this up but like... Steven heals by spit and resurrects by tears, Rose healed by tears and... Resurrected by spit? Rose don't lick that dead lion u nasty.
Spoiler: bestiality, i took the second worst possible interpretation of that and ran with it now now, if the woman wants to french a dead lion lets all just stand back and let her get freaky
Spoiler well, OBVIOUSLY she's a homestuck, she's literally in the comic Spoiler: jokes different rose
Spoiler the real reason steven universe is possibly not getting renewed: there's a scratch and now it's greg universe
Spoiler But that's two from blue diamond court/two blue gems. I was gonna say Zircon but that poses the same problem. Ooh! What about Rutile, Rhodenite (name?) and Padparadscha? I'd say Fluorite too, but she's kinda... really big. And we don't currently know what gems she's made of.
Spoiler Lars could be the human in that au, hes already paired with them. I wonder what classpect hed be?
Wait are we talking "alternate Steven and Crystal Gems" AU or "Steven, the Gems and Humans are playing sburb" AU, I'm losing track
so ok rhodonite is a pearl+ruby. so if the crystal gem's garnet unfused, and that ruby fused with cg pearl, she'd be a rhodonite, right? and if the off color rhodonite fused with padparascha sapphire, forming a pearl+ruby+sapphire, she'd become a sardonyx... .right? MAN it would be cool to see different fusion gems as well as just different gems, a totally different sardonyx or opal or garnet.
