Fusion deteriorates the mind?

[perrot]

    Throughout the show we have seen different characters fusing. It would present that if you fuse, so does your mind. The two (or more) gems that fused feel stronger. When separated though, they feel as if their mind needs to be "whole" again, so they desperately want to fuse back together. But what kind of extent could this lead to? As you can see, gems like Jasper, for example, would become extremely desperate to fuse with another gem. So far to the point she fused with a corrupted gem. After Jasper was fused with Lapis for such a long time, Lapis' overall attitude changed a lot, also, this may lead to another theory. Lapis gone through a lot of tragic things, repeatedly becoming a prisoner for thousands of years, may have done something to her mind. When she was fused with Jasper, the aftermath showed that Jasper has become mentally unstable, and extremely desperate for fusion. This can be shown in other characters too, at different levels. For example, Pearl betrayed and lied to Garnet, just for fusion. Well, i'm gonna stop this theory here, because i'm kinda bored. TELL MY STORYYYYYYYYYYY

You could shoot this theory down by saying that these are more personal issues rather than fusion causing just ANYONE to become addicted.

Malachite. Lapis needed an outlet for her anger, and Jasper wanted to be powerful. They're already mental af before fusing.

Sardonyx. Pearl had an issue with her weaknesses, and Sardonyx was something that made her feel stronger.

I'd say some people can't control themselves when it comes to fusion. Others like Steven and Connie can control themselves.

What about that one fusion with the nicki minaj voice??

Pearl specifically said "U HAZ BEEN FOOSED 4 2 LONG!!!!111!!!"

I think she said that to Sugilite because, having the craziness of Amethyst combined with the strength of Garnet, they were out of control.

Fusions need to either be synced with one another mentally to maintain control or throw a Pearl into the mix. With the example of Garnet and Amethyst fusing there was a loss of control. Pearl was needed to keep them from losing control. I have a theory that Pearls have a quality that keeps fusion from losing control since all Pearls seem to be about having the attitude of maintaining order, control and such things.

If Pearls were in fact from White Diamond in a way it could make sense they picked up that personality from White Diamond of being orderly.
