Amethyst gemstone steven universe3/26/2023 Peridot is a fan-favorite character, a former antagonist who found redemption, and brings a unique humorous perspective to life on Earth. Many asexual fans, who'd long speculated that Peridot was one of them, are happy to have positive representation in Steven Universe. Peridot joins the relatively short list of canonically asexual television characters than includes Todd Chavez from Bojack Horseman, Varys from Game of Thrones and SpongeBob SquarePants (who's kind of an unusual case since sea sponges are asexual by a very different definition than asexual humans are). RELATED: Steven Universe Future Still Has Two Major Threats to Deal With Zuke left Steven Universe later that year in the midst of production on Season 5 over creative differences, possibly related to their and Rebecca Sugar's differing conceptions of Peridot's orientation. Many of the early Peridot episodes were storyboarded by Zuke, who wrote the "Amedot" relationship as a "first time crush" and the "Lapidot" relationship as a "growing queer relationship." Some overzealous Amedot shippers bullied Zuke off of Twitter in 2016 over their Lapidot shipping. For years, the Steven Universe fandom fought with sometimes scary intensity over whether Peridot should end up in a relationship with Amethyst or Lapis. The confirmation that Peridot's disinterest in fusion represents a disinterest in sex and romance hopefully puts an end to the extensive shipping drama that's surrounded the character in fandom over the years.
