scarletkilometers: The Engineer expresses his cybernetic dissapointment (Default)
Something that I've always found interesting is that up until Eyeball Ruby and her chisel-dagger the only gem whose native generated weapon was an actual weapon as opposed to a piece of armor (Ruby and Garnet's gauntlets, Jasper's helmet, Rose's shield) or Only A Viable Weapon In A JRPG (Amethyst and Holly Blue's whips) was Pearl, who was explicitly created for the express purpose of being a decorative noncombatant. Meanwhile all the combat-focused gems are getting stuck with shit like A Single Boxing Glove and they gotta make that work. I don't think it Means Anything, especially since the crew clearly are defining weapons in the "JRPGS and SoulCalibur" sense of the word, but it cracks me right the hell up whenever I remember that that's a thing. Can you fucking imagine. You were created for the express purpose of wreaking godly havoc on the battlefield and all you've got for the job is a fancy motorcycle helmet and your admittedly impressive muscle groups, meanwhile your boss's coatrack is kicking around with a sickass Nacre Naginata and bisecting warriors twice her size like it ain't even a thing. Such bullshit.
