    It SHOULD affect them. The fact that it isn't, tells me what a joke this polyamory crap is. They've not thought this through, they're basically making memes and innuendos canon. They have no idea how to handle this properly and they're not even attempting it(not that it's really possible with these characters, but holy hell, even most fanfictions have better development than this).

    They only fuse multiple gems when the battles specifically calls for a stronger fusion.
    Yeah Garnet wouldn’t count but I was thinking of Flourite.

    Yes Flourite is definitely polyamory representation.

    Garnet was kind of an open relationship because her fusions with Amethyst and Pearl had a sensual/sexual feel to them.

    They also give the example of Pearl, Rose and Greg, back when Rose was alive.

    yup. here for it. all the way. Love is not always sexual, monogamous, or even label-able. As readers of the x-men we've accepted things much stranger than this lol

SOMEONE ALWAYS CATCHES FEELINGS AND DESTROYS THE WHOLE GROUP DYNAMIC.
    im just gonna sit here and hope that you aren't using "messed up" as a substitute for "gender nonconforming"

    Disapprove. No doors for Logan, Jean and Cyke shouldn`t be the main question for X-Men #1. I need better stories.

    I think they did as much as any other Superhero team with a lot of inner-team dating did.
    uhhhhhhhh I think prolly only Steven Universe but they can get away with it cause of the plausible deniability of what “fusion” actually is.
    Steven Universe and it's subtext .

    That was a gossip and it's on us that we all focused on that. X-Men #1 introduced the Vault plot, gave us some nice Polaris/Magneto moments and it created the setup for New Mutants.

    Polyamory has not been the focus, it's just a a fan tidbit.

    But Rachel is an adult and Cable is definitely not an average teenager.

    Depends on how it's written cuz I ain't here for shipping BS.

    What the hell is "strict monogamy"?
    "Cable was right!"
