also garnet is insectoid hear me out… it gets really evident just how weird and segmented she looks when you see normal garnet next to human garnet from chille tid:

there’s also her glasses, which add what I’m pretty sure is something like compound eyes to alexandrite, rather than glasses, given she flinches over them, along with the same weird torso

It’s even more apparent with sardonyx, who has a pretty clear bug motif made up of her dragonflies, cricket-y legs and “wings”, six limbs, and ofc her explicitly(!!) segmented torso, which she gets from garnet

basically listen: garnets a big weird bug mom and so are her fusions, its true
