why do people think Pearl is the better of the three mothers for Steven? She almost let him die twice, almost got Connie killed, and almost killed Steven. And she didn't spare him because he's Stephen, she spared him because he's half Rose. She's made it clear on multiple occasions that she is not safe to be left alone with impressionable or vulnerable people.
amethyst is arguably also just as dangerous, but in a very different way. Her lack of self-care and self-reflection makes her dangerous to herself and others around her, but she has never willingly almost killed Steven or almost let him die. But it is arguable that she has almost gotten Steven killed. that rises the question that if opal were a permafusion would he be safe with her?
Speaking of perma fusions, The only other person aside from Greg that has proven themselves to be better for Stevens physical health is garnet. She has never almost killed him, never almost let him die, and never almost got him killed. In fact, she had an identity crisis and almost went crazy before simply realizing that Steven didn't need her help and protection like he used to. One could argue that she was obsessed with protecting him!
ironically enough, he became his own Catalyst trying protecting the other two from the one who was protecting him the most. Although garnet's love usually takes a physical form, there have been multiple occasions where she's been there for him emotionally, when the other two have emotionally or mentally manipulated him. And we already know that he isn't safe with the other fusions. He's not safe with sardonyx because of Pearl and he's not safe with sugilite because of amethyst. Obviously, he's not necessarily safe with Alexandrite. He's not even safe with Ruby or Sapphire separately. He's only safe with Garnet, aside from Greg. But I am willing to concede that without the other two he would have very limited character growth, because of the previously mentioned aspect that Garnet would be obsessed with protecting him. She was very undeniably that we're done shaky mix of stepping back and letting him grow, but still often caging him in to a roll of weakness. she wouldn't allow the others to put him down, but when she said stop it was time to stop. But, in all fairness, that went for everyone.
I'm not taking away from the fact that they all work together to help Steven grow and all play intricate rolls. I'm just saying that as far as picking one has to go, the Superior choice is obviously Garnet -for better and for worse. Not to suggest that Garnet would be appropriate directly partnered with Greg in the rearing of Steven. That's a HARD NO!
