Edit to talk about my headcannon for these two having an adorably mutually awkward relationship.

Sardonyx ADORES Amethyst and just gushes about her to anyone who will listen. But she’s also super insecure and thinks Amethyst is 120% too cool for her, so she tries way too hard and inevitably puts her giant foot in her mouth.

Like, “Oh AMETHYST you are just soooo soft, like a big purple poodle! But I guess if you were a poodle I’d actually be able to teach you tricks, ohhohohoho! Oh well, as long as you’re housetrained, right?!”

*knows she has f****ed up* *sweats profusely* *awkward laughter increases*

Meanwhile, Amethyst plays it off but she is actually pretty conflicted about all the affection. On the one hand, having Pearl and Garnet give her so much praise and attention is kind of all she’s ever wanted.
