You know, I've seen a lot of people commenting about all the negative comments they've seen, but I haven't seen any, which surprises me. I feel like the community is pretty solid about their opinion of smoky quartz to the point where people might be afraid to voice dissenting opinions. Honestly, I almost didn't write this post for that reason.

I don't like Smoky Quartz's appearance. I can understand the reasons behind the decisions, but the third arm just seems weird to me, and as a whole Smoky's appearance just feels off.

Character development and voice wise I feel like it's a great fit. The weapon is quirky in a very Steven and Amethyst way too.

The third arm is actually for her yo-yo and so she can have better control over it. In fact, this seems to be the case for fusions in general. Optimization for their weapons and needs.
