Amedot

"Amedot" (also known as Perithyst) is the romantic ship between Amethyst and Peridot from the Steven Universe series. It is a non-binary ship, because both Amethyst and Peridot are genderless, but could also be seen as femslash as both characters are referred to as "she/her".

About
Amethyst, along with the other Crystal Gems, were enemies with Peridot in the past. After the events in "Too Far", both Peridot and Amethyst appear to be good friends now, as Amethyst is the Crystal Gem that Peridot enjoys impressing and hanging out with the most.

Hints

 * In gem mineralogy, Peridots and Amethysts go well together. Rubies and Sapphires go well together as well.
 * Maya Petersen, a storyboard revisionist for Steven Universe, openly ships Amedot and defends Amedot shippers.
 * Multiple professional critics such as the A.V. Club have noticed the chemistry and romance between Amethyst and Peridot.
 * There are often many sexual jokes involving Peridot, Amethyst, and Amethyst’s whip. Amethyst has used it on/towards Peridot more than three times.
 * The Steven Universe crew outwardly avoids talking about Peridot and Amethyst’s friendship, much less their romantic undertones, almost as if there’s something they’re trying to hide.
 * In "Catch and Release", Peridot gets discovered by the crystal gems when she was un-poofed by Steven. She is seen running up the stairs, and Amethyst is sitting on Steven's bed, her legs crossed while she was pulling her whip suggestively. This part was in Peridot's perspective of Amethyst, and Amethyst seemed to look mildly attractive and seductive in the scene.
 * In the beginning of "Too Far", Peridot describes multiple objects in unconventional ways, amusing Amethyst greatly. She then deems Peridot "funny" and as a result she tries to impress Amethyst and make her laugh.
 * In the same episode, Peridot accidentally starts the drill and she falls off it, sending it wildly spinning towards an unsuspecting Amethyst. Peridot tries to get up and shouts for Amethyst with genuine concern. This may be the first time Peridot put someone's well being before hers.
 * The most glaring hint is that after this incident, Peridot accidentally mounts Amethyst after pushing her away from the drill. They stare at each other for some time before Peridot anxiously jumps up and claims it was an accident.
 * Again in this episode, Peridot unknowingly offends Amethyst, causing the latter to stop giving her attention. Peridot is very confused about what she's feeling, so Steven explains that she feels guilty for hurting Amethyst's feelings. She is later seen apologizing to Amethyst through her voice recorder, thumbs nervously twitching as Amethyst listens. After having her apology accepted, she genuinely smiles and says she feels "big".
 * Rebecca Sugar has said that pushing someone out of harm’s way "an outrageously romantic gesture". Leaning towards Amedot, Stevonnie, and Rupphire.
 * In "Steven's Birthday", Amethyst blows up a Peridot shaped balloon and pops it in front of Peridot.
 * In "It Could've Been Great", Peridot seems offended that Amethyst brushed off her knowledge on how Gem's automatically adjust to gravity.
 * In the same episode, Peridot compliments Amethyst by saying the Kindergarten near the cluster was not nearly as impressive as Amethyst's.
 * In "Message Received", Amethyst seems the most hurt about Peridot's betrayal, in such she revokes all her nicknames for her.
 * In "Log Date 7 15 2", Peridot blushes after Amethyst says "Pretty impressive in my opinion but it's hard to beat the original" after shapeshifting into Peridot's form.
 * In the same episode, some people suspect that the Peridot's shipping chart was to resemble the gems. The green box resembling Peridot and the purple Amethyst have a squiggly line connecting each other.
 * In "Too Short to Ride", when Peridot feels bad for not being able to shapeshift, Amethyst is the one to make her feel better by talking to her.
 * In "Beta", Peridot gets super excited to see Amethyst and ignores the fact that Steven is there. While they are at the barn, Peridot tries to impress Amethyst several times and admits to it.
 * Peridot was overprotective over Amethyst at the end of this episode. Convincing her not to fight Jasper alone (or at least trying to), she knew she was going to get hurt some how, poofed or shattered
 * Both Amethyst and Peridot are classified as defected; Amethyst incubating for too long and coming out short, and Peridot being an "Era 2 Peridot" who is unable to do most standard gem abilities.
 * Most of Peridot’s nicknames are from Amethyst and most of Amethyst’s nicknames are from Peridot.
 * Amethyst’s Nicknames for Peridot:
 * Peri
 * Per
 * Peridactyl
 * P-dot
 * Dot
 * Peridontist (Non-canonical, Amethysts voice actress Michaela Dietz has stated that she wished she could call Peridot that nickname.)
 * Peridot’s nicknames for Amethyst:
 * Ames
 * Big A
 * Ridiculousthyst
 * In “Back to the Kindergarten” Amethyst makes whole-hearted attempts to make Peridot happy again after losing Lapis, her valuables, and especially the barn.
 * When Peridot demonstrated her knowledge to Amethyst about the kindergarten, Amethyst compliments her, making Peridot blush and smile.
 * To get Peridot out of the bathroom at the beginning of the episode, she slings Peridot on her shoulder and carries her out of the bathroom.
 * While returning to the temple by train at the end of the episode, Amethyst puts a comforting hand on Peridot’s shoulder. One could say that this gesture closely resembles when Lapis our her hand on Peridot’s shoulder in ”Raising the Barn.” Lapis had a very controlling and manipulative hand on Peridot that seemed very intense and not at all friendly, while when Amethyst put her hand on Peridot’s same shoulder, it was a much more comforting and warm moment.
 * The entire moral of the episode could have been hinting towards Amethyst and Peridot’s relationship. When they tried planting sunflowers in the kindergarten, they wilted. The kindergarten had no life and couldn’t have life brought back to it. (That seemed like it was supposed to represent how Lapis and Peridot’s relationship didn’t work out.) Towards in the end, Amethyst suggests planting “literally anywhere else,” implying that just because Peridot’s relationship didn’t work out with Lapis, doesn’t mean there’s nobody else that you can have a healthy relationship with.
 * Lauren Zuke, a former Steven Universe story board artist, created a private tumblr (that was attempted to be proven fake, but the attempts failed) that leaked on 4chan. She stated on that tumblr account about how she tried to create a growing gay relationship in the show and how it has been “uprooted and destroyed” before her very eyes. It’s obvious as to what ship she was talking about because, she was one of the only Lapidot fans on the crew. As of now, she was fired because of artistic disagreements with Rebecca Sugar, and many postulate that the Lapidot Zuke was trying to write wasn’t what Sugar intended for the show.
 * With the new episode ”Raising the Barn,” it shows what Zuke most likely had meant when she ranted online, with the episode “Back to the Kindergarten” two episodes later focusing on Amethyst comforting Peridot.
