I think Garnet’s perception is just another version of propaganda. Rose had to tell all of her new soldiers about Pink from her perspective. I think Steven is basically keeping his own thoughts to himself, he doesn’t want to tell the gems about his findings. Steven is realizing how powerful his words can be : from that list of six people bringing an attack on beach city, he is now not okay with telling anyone information unless he thinks it is needed.
I definitely think that Pink did NOT call in for help from Blue and Yellow. More likely she tried to hide how her colony was turning against her, and when they found out, took control of the situation from her, maybe even dismantling Pink's court. Pink didn't like how she was powerless again and tried to fix it by herself, and ended up getting shattered.
I agree. She was very adamant on having her own colony to control. I don’t believe she would beg for their assistance when we know she wanted this for herself. With her naïveté, she probably didn’t even comprehend the gravity of the whole situation until it was too late.
maybe pink also became sympathetic. she and rose could have planned it and where everyone thought she was shattered, nobody but rose and bismuth knew about the sword so they are theonly ones who know pink merely poofed. that could be her in the bubble cave in the temple. the other thing that kinda points to that is that Steven had the vision where pink shatters herself in the mirror foreshadowing that pink would end up giving herself to allow rose to save earth and rose in turn to keep it an absolute secret was compelled to also give herself up to be steven even leaving pearl and Greg behind
I'm pretty convinced that Rose is actually Pink Diamond, and faked her own death. They're the same size, have the same lips, and Stevonnie's dream in Jungle Moon was a memory from Pink Diamond (Rose) combined with memories from Connie. This accounts for all the discrepancies, as all the gems are misinformed. I wonder if anyone agrees with me?
that would explain why steven cries along when blue cries.if pink was sort of "inside" steven and sees her "sister" cry about her death of course she'd get sad too.the only weird thing about it is.. does that mean there was ever a rose quarz to begin with and how would pink have changed her diamond into a quarz.even when they shapeshift their gem never changes shape or size,not even when they fuse(aka basically shapeshift together into one)
Jos-Jos Radvanjí The only way that would work is if the Rose Quartz that rebelled early on earth isn't the one we know now today who is Steven's mam and was the gem that was actually shattered, while pink diamond somehow recut her gem and assumed the form of Rose? At that point it'd make sense why Rose/Pink Diamond would want to turn into a human/Steven if somehow her gem was under strain or she couldn't maintain her form for much longer. The only bit that wouldn't make sense is the cutting of her gem tbh.
"I dont think Garnett knew pink diamond personally at all" Well i got some news for you 😂 I love watching old videos and seeing how close the theories are now that we know the truth
I believe that the only reason pink would say stuff like that is because its he first colony, she wants to prove to her fellow diamonds (mostly yellow) that she could handle it. So that's why I believe that that part could be accurate or at least close enough. (First time getting pinned by the best and first time getting all these likes XD XD XD) I'm grateful asf
pink diamond must look like an equal among her fellow diamonds but unfortunately like the young diamond she is her small colony fell apart and that is why most quartz soilders went to work with other gems in other diamonds colony's.
YES (Edit: Hey I've been thinking. Every time Steven tries to ask pearl about homeworld or PD it looks like it pains her to speak. What if pearls are like (HP reference) house elves? If they are given an order by their 'master' they cannot disobey it, it pains them physically. Just a theory)
ONLY and ONLY after Steven passed through both Blue and Yellow, helped all the townsfolk reach their highest state of character, recovering and constantly having dialogue with Jasper, and finding the last of Rose's secrets himself would Steven then be ready to discover the truth. Probably Jasper would be the only one that Steven would be open to talk about because Jasper has an undying love for Pink Diamond that no other gem, besides Rose and the other colored Diamonds have.
“We’re not sure if Jasper’s under that impression as well.” Jasper: “Because of what YOU did to my colony! Because of what YOU did to my planet! Because of what YOU did to my DIAMOND!” Steven: Yellow Diamond? Jasper: My diamond! Your diamond! PINK DIAMOND!!
Obi-Wan Kenobi i think you need to take back what you said dude 'cause in case you don't know i suggest you should look at the recent episode of Steven Universe.
Rose is pink diamond. Proof: 1) They're both pink. 2) They both have belly button gems. 3) They're both dead. Checkmate Vox. (edit) holy shit people are actually taking this seriously stop coming after my life I'm innocent >.> (Edit 2) WELP
From the clip where the planets were shown with the colour diamond of the owner on them yellow owns more and even though it probobly wont show every colony the diamonds own i would have to go by the clip which shows yellow having more than white blue and pink which would mean she would be the tallest but she isnt sooo ye idk
Stellar Potato maybe they feed of the planets they inhabit like parasites. The excessive amount of organic life on earth would be more than enough to give pink a significant growth spurt
not the first time they appeared in the show but the first they appeared on home home world it doesn't say anything about them be small or grow though the years
And they totally made a point of showing how incorrect Garnet was by this whole arc of her being unreliable as a narrator. Ugh I painstakingly love this. All comedy is derived from fear.
Yes, she got timelines confused. That has nothing to do with her memory. Everything she was told that she wasn’t present for was told by Rose. If what garnet is saying is wrong, it’s because Rose lied to her.
Lucas Martinez Oh you're right I hadn't thought of that. That's really clever. It's much wiser taking her words with a grain of salt then believing her 100%. And it's entirely possible that Rose did lie or omit certain things from Garnet and the others. She had her own secrets. Garnet herself said that.
Grace Louise Phillips also, garnets future vision was mostly correct until Steven came along. But as stated in pool hopping, the reason she her future vision was off is because she’s looking at it wrong
Garnet's flashback can be wrong for the sole reason she met Rose when the revolution had already started, and not from the very first beginning. Rose could have told her what she wanted her to know and not the truth. For Rose, portraying Pink Diamond as a merciless tyrant would make it easier to recruit gems for her revolution, than telling them the truth
Maybe the reason Garnet thinks that Pink Diamond was that tall, is because last time she saw her, she was unfused. Ruby and Sapphire are two very small gems, and that might be the reason why they think of her as a tall gem.
I think that the first scaling problem was just perspective and the Quartz soldiers were far away, and the second one with Rose and Pink, the throne’s seat is a lot higher than your estimations
Idk why nobody is mentioning the fact that Stevonnie's vision of pink was tailored to them trying to make sense of the vision. Like how yellow was connie's mom and at first stevonnie was pink. That means they ALSO tailored pink's size to what they thought was normal. It was a combination of connie's logical side and Steven's visions.
Thats the reason stevonni is literally the same size as pink. There is no canon evidence that pink was "deformed". He literally just based this whole size thing around his own theories
The way sapphires work is that they don't see the present they only see possible outcomes of the future and act according to that, garnet can see present and future, and so when all her predictions are based around false facts and that's what she was depending upon she basically just breaks
I'm going to make a prediction that the reason that Steven can empathically connect to other gems including diamonds, the reason that Pink had a human zoo, the reason why Garnet's story of Rose seems like a fairy tale, Pink's size, why Pearl is so tight lipped about the past and the whole deal about how unlikely it is that a diamond could be shattered especially by someone who was against shattering gems without the one weapon that could possibly do it. The answer to all of these mysteries is… ROSE QUARTZ IS REALLY PINK DIAMOND!!!
There’s also the image of Steven looking up at White’s mural on the moonbase. He might mention it to Pearl (“was she another Diamond? I think I saw a statue of her on Homeworld. How come I’ve never heard of her?”) and that’s what makes her panic and cover her mouth.
Why the people think, padparacha can see the past? She only can “predict” things that alredy happens in the present, she cant wach the past or something
cat dad._Yes of course, but if padparacha can see the past, why shes a of color? Know the past can be useful for HomeWorld, I think she only can see things that alredy hapend on present
I don't get why so many people seemed to dislike Garnet's story (or at least weren't impressed). It was uniquely animated, we got confirmation on things we've speculated on for years(like earth being Pink's first colony), and it showed us more about how rose fell in love with the earth. All that, on top of all the interactions with Lars and the Off Colors made this an extremely enjoyable episode for me (But I do agree that there's something missing from the story, not everything seems to line up)
“I don’t think Pink Diamond was all ‘oooh I want a planet gimme gimme gimme’ nope not at all” Are you guys forgetting the previous episode Jungle Moon where you saw the Pink Diamond flashback/dream and that’s exactly how she used to act?
I actually have a theory about Pink Diamond and her shards, I don't know if this has been theorized yet, but I'd like to think of it as my own. I believe that Homeworld DOES have Pink Diamond's original crystal, and the reason they were experimenting with the cluster was to see if they may be able to bring her back.
that's a really good one,even though they seemed to use the cluster more as a bomb than an experiment it would still be cool if they were actually trying to find shards that would fit with pinks original ones to like..glue her back together to a full gem so she can form a new body
I believe that 78% of quartz soldiers at THICC, holly blue is thicc, rose is thicc, garnet is thicc, the famethysts are mostly thicc, seriously, this show is wonderfull......
I feel that the reason they used the simple design for this is because most of these events, Garnet didn't exist for. Garnet wouldn't know the size of Pink Diamond because Ruby and Sapphire served Blue and probably didn't meet Pink. She may not know how Pink was shattered because she wasn't there (I feel the shattering happened before the events of The Answer). She may also have fudged bits to make a more inspiring story for the Off colors. I don't know. Hopefully we get answers at some point.
Except we've seen a flashback before (when Garnet tried to talk to Steven and he shut her down) in which Garnet, Pearl, Bismuth, and two other gems face off against Pink Diamond. So we know The Answer happened BEFORE Pink's shattering, otherwise Garnet wouldn't have been in that flashback.
I know the episode is pretty old, but u know how in the trial the zircon was concluding of how pink diamond's shattering doesn't make Sense? she said y didn't pink's pearl shout "MY DIAMOND WATCH OUT!" Maybe it's because her pearl was our steven universe pearl, since she battled beside rose quartz? (my theories don't really make any sense)
Okay okay what IF pink diamond is still alive while in shards. That white diamond hasnt appeared because she is trying to put pink back together better than before. And thats why way back they were collecting shards and smashing them together. To test how the shards form and if one will come out perfect so white diamond could do the same for pink diamond. And as such is why Steven had a vision of her, whether because he could feel he distantly due to where he was at and the high strung feelings there or a shard of her was actually at that base hidden away. (Far fetched but its an idea)
What if Steven has still got memories from rose and feels sorry for blue because rose was there when pink shattered and they could have secretly been friends or something. Idk
'I don't think garnet knew pink diamond personally at all.' It's so weird looking through all these old theories and knowing everything we knew was flipped upside down today.
You seem to not factor in that thousands of years may have passed from the time of pink having no planets to having one. She most definitely matured in that time.
Garnet and Pearl become taller with the time, or at least thats how it looks when you compare the episodes where Greg and Rose meet with the ones from Steven time
Jessica Villar they weren’t actually shorter, it’s just that since their “young”, they were drawn and portrayed more inexperienced. Also they would all look shorter than usual with rose towering even garnet
Let's not forget the fact that Garnet believed Rose Quartz is a unique gem that came out differently than all the other quartz in the kindergarten we know that's not true there are many other Rose Quartz at the zoo that Pink Diamond intentionally created she was not a random new quartz created on accident but what if Garnet doesn't know there are more Rose Quartz Gems
TVmaniac26 which is weird because sapphire and ruby were both in the room with all the bubbled rose quartz, their distraction helped Greg and steven escape that room.
But remember it took both Greg and Steven to realize the bubbled gem were Rose Quartz until both Blue and Yellow mentioned they were Rose Quartz Gems and they made the comparison when yellow was singing. Ruby and Sapphire were only in the room for a short time and were too busy dealing with both Blue and Yellow trying to avoid being caught. They were distracted trying to think of an excuse to trick the diamonds. Even if they did see the bubbled gems it was for a short period of time and they were too far away to make out. They probably assumed they were different gem prisoners that the diamonds kept. So like Greg and Steven, Ruby and Sapphire did not make the connection right away. It's not like they put all their attention into trying to identify the gem when all there attention was on the diamonds and if the diamonds realized they were distracted with something else that wasn't then they would be furious and offended. They were completely focused on the diamonds out of fear they couldnt concentrate on anything else but this is just a theory of mine
TVmaniac26 Just because Rose Quartz was different and unique as a person doesn’t mean that Garnet thinks that there are no other Rose Quartzes. I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that aside from the Diamonds, there are multiple ones of every Gemstone and Garnet knows that considering her roles on Homeworld. They just portrayed the other Quartzes (possibly even Rose Quartzes) differently in the flashback because they’re not the focus.
The implication wasn’t that rose quartz gems in general were unique, but that Rose Quartz the individual was unique compared to the other rose quartz gems. Not in the obvious ways like Amethyst or the Rutile twins, but because of her compassion and technical pacifism which would not be an intended trait for a Soldier gem.
I'm pretty sure she knows about other Quartz soldiers, she IS just saying that Rose came out differently as in a different state of mind/paradigm. And she fought in the war so she would have fought with a quartz soldier of course, anyway just a thought :P
Heya So what if Pink Diamond used some kind of a wig and large dresses to look bigger and more intimidating? She never standes up in front of a gem so no one will notice. This was the Diamonds idea so any of the PD's gems would hestitate against her authority. Seeya
MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE DIAMONDS! The light corrupts the gems, but the song makes them forget. That's why centipeedle don't remember who she was for a little while.
SteviiLove Well, she can "see" intentions, she did with Emerald and her missing the Sun Incinerator *on purpose*, so i think that if Garnet was lying she would have "seen" her dishonesty.
@Guglielmo Gallucci She might have and chose to keep quiet. What if Garnet has the ability to block others of her kind/similar to her from reading the paths she is choosing? Garnet might even know a trick to slip past the detection with lies constructed or believed in a certain way.
Yeah duh Garnet’s wrong. Garnet’s just a FIGURE HEAD for the Crystal Gems who knows NOTHING about Rose’s origins Pearl is probably the best to ask about these things and it’s very frustrating that all the characters think that Garnet’s the best one to ask about these things WHEN SHE’S NOT. ugh.
in the scene where its the quartz soldiers talking to pink, who is shown on a larger scale than what we know she is, it can possibly be an emphasis on the power she holds over the Quartz soldiers depicting that she is the one in charge, showing us, viewers, how she deems to see her followers as smaller than her when they're most likely the same size. Or it could be an over the shoulder shot and she makes them stand further back to make them seen smaller in her eyes. Love your work Awestruckvox! keep up this amazing content!!
is simply wrong becuase that sword cant shatter for shit ,and rly . it sounds so biased . its up to steven to discover the truth . and the only way is just for him to pressure on pearl and coax it out of her
Sancho Man nah . I think she will eventually will.if steven bonds with her and keeps pushing,that programming shall be broken. And if pearl Finnally speaks freely,she will finnaly be a free pearl.
(This Theory only exist with the base idea that Rose is pink diamond) what if Rose/ pink diamond was changing her form depending on the situation cuz when garnet and the others fought pink diamond Rose was nowhere to be found in that image. And what if the memories that Sevani is getting a pink diamond is actually Stephens mother's memories which is being relayed through his gem.( and you don't think it's funny that Stevens gem looks like the top side of a diamond)
Suoh Bk However that doesn't explain why the gem on the belly changes. Even if the shape-shifting capabilities of gems were to be able to mimic glass-like appearances, wouldn't rose Quartz's Gem be showing the diamond gem that is right behind it?
Suoh Bk It's impossible since a gemstone doesn't work that way. Steven was scanned numerous times and even encountered the Diamonds. Surely they can sense another Diamond. Besides, if Rose is Pink diamond, that would mean she would have to had fought the war on both sides. It was a war and surely both sides would've noticed something was wrong with their leaders.
yeah I got the feeling something was wrong with that flash back when I first watched the episode especially since we know that Roses sword cant shatter. Plus calling for help didn't seem very Pink like since it would be pretty much admitting to Blue and Yellow diamond that they were right and she cant handle a colony of her own. who knows, maybe Garnets version of the story was propaganda Rose created to hide the truth about Pink Diamond from newer followers
This is making me realize that asking the right questions is important. Everyone was wondering HOW Pink was shattered, but not too many people were wondering WHY she would have needed to be shattered in the first place
Lately been thinking what if pink started to share the same views as rose towards the end of the war and then yellow shattered her cause (remember yellow got a little bit scared during the trial) cause she didn't like this way of thinking.
Another thing I noticed is that in the flashback,Pinks palquin was decorated with diamonds which we know isn't true.The metal has been shaped like flowers in the palquin she came out of when she was dhattered.
ooh! Interesting idea! so a homeworld gem or the diamonds could have been at that moment of the shattering so they could get the shards, or just went over then all of a sudden they see shards. someone should have picked up the shards, otherwise that ain't the reason. But nevertheless it's a good idea!
Why wouldn’t Rose not lie?? She lied about what had happened to Bismuth So she probably did throw in a lie somewhere in the flashback that she told Garnet.....
This is just my own little head cannon, but what if Pink Diamond is taller than depicted. I mean, yeah she was shown to be short in Jungle Moon, but she is also depicted at bratty and childlike so she could have shapeshifted smaller to annoy Yellow Diamond. Honestly, I think she is about the height of Opal or Rainbow Quartz, seeing that the height of the diamonds somewhat mirrors that of the Crystal Gem fusions (Alexandrite being the tallest while Opal or Rainbow Quartz being the shortest [out of the pure gem fusions]).
I don’t think garnet is lying at all. What if that was pink diamond BACK THEN!!! Stevonnie’s vision could possibly be pink diamond if she ever reformed OOR if she was poofed instead. With pink’s personality she would try to go fast with her regeneration just like amythest. Although this will sound stupid you mentioned stevonnie and pink almost had the same height, it could be that but I highly regret putting this here. We also know that they kept bismuth in the temple for thousand of years without the gems knowing, so what if rose has lied saying that she shatter her. Your most likely right, garnets perspective isn’t accurate but pearl wasn’t there either when she “shattered” pink, so she has accurate info but not about that battle. Liek if u read this whole thing plz
Kapuana Lelenoa Personally I think that Pink Diamond's gem is being used as a tool, like Lapis's gem in the mirror. Her gem powers Rose's room or even the entire temple.
The fact that we have two different stories of Rose and Pink diamond coming from opposite extremes like the crystal gems and homeworld it makes the relationship of rose and pink diamond more of a mystery it really is cool story telling I just wish we get more episodes of Steven finding out more on this story that neither side saw.
In season one episode twenty-two the Crystal Gems sing a song at the end with a lot of specific foreshadowing. Steven sings the lyrics "Can't you see it in our eyes? We're the one. We're the one." Then, later in the song diamonds appear in his eyes. This is important because in all the episodes prior (and the earlier part of this episode) his eyes would have stars in them. It should be noted that this song was originally written for an all Steven band and the lyrics applied to that band initially. Also, when Steven sings "I accidentally created an alternate timeline." Pearl looks extra concerned even though she saw all the other Stevens appear in front of her and knew the powers of the hourglass. The last line has a direct correlation to what occurs in season five episode eighteen, 'A Single Pale Rose'. Steven sings "I learned to stay true to myself by watching myself die." Side note: Connie's eyes only have diamonds whereas the Crystal Gems have stars like Steven (aside from the instant mentioned above).
Here's my version of Rose's path: I wanted Rose to have been made on Homeworld, maybe the first gem that Pink Diamond ever made. But unlike normal Quartzes that are made for fighting, Rose Quartz gems were more defensive, partly due to Pinks desire to be protected. Think about it; Pink Diamond is the youngest gem. She is seen as a child in the eyes of her diamonds and when she created her first gem, the gem came out with maternal instinct. The ability to heal Pink Diamond’s gem if it was to ever get cracked, enhanced reflexes and speed to rush to Pink Diamonds aid if she needed her, a shield and a bubble to protect Pink Diamond from being harmed, and the ability to float and reach things that Pink Diamond couldn’t because of her short stature. But Rose Quartzes were not actually made for fighting. What active fighting abilities do Rose Quartzes have other than their strength? Rose has her sword but that was given to her by Bismuth. Rose was originally Pink’s bodyguard/friend/maternal figure and she was the first Rose Quartz to be made. Rose kept Pink safe and out of trouble on Homeworld. Keeping her entertained while Blue and Yellow were busy building colonies. While the other diamonds had Pearls, Pink Diamond only had a Rose Quartz. Rose bonded with White Diamond’s Pearl (our Pearl) who eventually fell in love with her. Rose was there when Pink asked for her own colony and she was the one to heal Pink’s arm, which Yellow Diamond injured after Pink broke the glass. And something inside Pink broke too. Tired of not being taken seriously, Pink tried to prove to Yellow that she could handle her own colony with Rose by her side, watching her struggle. The only person that she could trust, who actually saw her potential. The only gem to call her “My Diamond,” Then Pink was given her own planet and her own colony. She and Rose went to earth together. She created Jaspers and Amethysts to help with the colonization, but Rose was still the only Rose Quartz. Pink Diamond was worried that her gems would not respect her, when they saw how small she was, so she stayed in her Palanquin at all times, using Rose as her mouthpiece. Rose grew fond of the humans on the planet and expressed her concerns to Pink Diamond about the effects the colonizes were having on the planet and the people who lived there. So, Pink invented the human zoo as a place for them to go. But who would take care of the humans on the zoo? So, Pink made more Rose Quartzes for the task but kept her Rose separated because she was special. But Rose wasn’t just concerned about the humans there. She fell in love with the rain, the flowers, and the animals. She fell in love with the way things changed on the planet and the earth adjusted. And the more she spoke out to Pink Diamond, the more the distance grew between them. Then Rose started giving different orders. Ordering gems to help humans, to build, lies that she said came from Pink Diamond. And when Pink Diamond found out…the betrayal changed something inside of her. She banished Rose back to Homeworld, where she was to work in the zoo with the humans she loved so much. But without Rose, Pink was afraid to show herself. When she confessed her fears to the other Diamonds, Yellow made her limb enhancers to give her the height of the other Diamonds, and a spikey helmet similar to the one Yellow’s so that she would look more frightening. She vowed never to get close to a gem she created again. And then she went back to earth, a colder, crueler gem, leaving Rose on Homeworld. There Rose reconnected with Pearl and after telling her of her desire to go back, Pearl agreed to help. Pearl helped Rose still a ship, having the knowledge of how to fly one and the two landed on the spot from the Sword and the scabbard. The two had the conversation that Pearl showed Steven. They started the rebellion, Rose recruiting gems with similar feelings on the planet as her. The rest of the story; the part with Pink Diamond being shattered should have been left out. I wanted to hear that part from Pearl. But I believe that if Pink and Rose were close, she might have believed Rose was coming to surrender. It would explain why Pink stepped out of the Palanquin, she never believed that her Rose would really hurt her. Sorry, that was long :)
You're losing PERSPECTIVE on Pink's size because those quartz soldiers are farther away from her than you realize. YOU can't say that Garnet's firsthand eyewitness account of Pink's size is wrong when you're only account is through a dream that Stevonnie had. You do realize all of the other inconsistencies that dream had. I would put more stock in Garnet's testimony than in Steven's dream.
Tim Possible Height consistency is an issue I have. Pink maybe as tall as Stevonnie in one episode, but when we see her again she'll probably be as tall as Opal
DK.Galaxy Actually,at 4:32,pink would be a little taller than rose,it's easy to tell because of the size of her arms,her throne has to be a bit high up,otherwise it wouldn't make sense(the anatomy)(sorry if I have bad english xp)
DK.Galaxy the animators have trouble with that. One time lapis was the same height as Pearl another time she was shorter. They made amethyst smaller than ever in the most recent episode she was in. They've made peridot shorter with every episode. That's why these guys shouldn't put their faith in every visual because it's all an interpretation.
Here's what I think, I think Pink Diamond was best friends with the "Original" Rose Quarts after her subordinates reported what Rose was doing, where they both bonded over their mutual love for life, individuality, and love. Perhaps they were both trying to find a way where both gem kind and life itself could live properly side by side. But that all ended when the diamonds could have caught wind of the lack of productivity on the colony as Pink was seeking to preserve life on Earth. It could be possible that Pink and Rose then worked together to set up a "Rebellion" in hopes of stalling for as long as possible, all the while promoting individuality and love to those who wanted to listen and even perhaps turn those who may have been more stubborn in their ways of falling in line. Of course this could have caught the attention of the Diamonds once again, either worried about Pink or to contain and quash the rebellion before it could spread off world, they would then send their support to assist Pink in the war tipping the scales in their favor as the Crystal Gems started losing, in a last ditch effort to scare the Diamonds and their gems off world, they would have to "Shatter Pink Diamond" But because none but a diamond can shatter another diamond as well as needing both the shards and a witness or two to make it believable, it could very well be possible that Pink and the Original Rose Switched places with one another by means of shape shifting. I quite like this theory because it provides an interesting sacrifice of someone Pink may have genuinely cared about dearly, which would become a turning point for Pink as it would both cause her to eventually, or at that moment, grow as a person and strive to become someone like Rose. It adds to this drama since not only does she have to live as the Rose Quartz she shattered, but also have to live with all the consequences that came from their decisions. Unable to ever tell anyone, except for her most loyalist Pearl, in fear that all of their hard work in promoting life, love, and freedom would come undone. (sorry if I already typed this before I can't remember if I did)
That is true, but when I said shape shift, I meant like what Amethyst did when she assumed Jasper's form, and who is to say that the top part of Pink Diamond's gem couldn't resemble that of a rose quartz, all it would technically take would be for Pink to re-position the pointed end into herself. If it is possible of course.
I'm not saying positions around their bodies, I'm fully aware that their gems can never change from their specific spots on their bodies no matter what form they take even in Fusion, but what I AM saying, and this is something that is still solid as it hasn't been confirmed yet, is whether they could be able to ROTATE their gems around that permanent area. Since gems like amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, etc have a flat end to them, it would technically be unnecessary to rotate them in the first place. However, it isn't confirmed that the Diamond gemstones have a flat end, I'd like to think that the gemstones of the Diamonds take on a more three dimensional form like you would see in commercials, and since we don't know whether they can actually rotate their gems, my theory is still solid in a way. More importantly It wouldn't take much to fool Eyeball since all they would have needed to do was just change their forms to begin with. As for shards, since they would already be difficult to identify it would still be possible to fool them into thinking the Rose Quarts shards are actually "Pink Diamond's". I know they can't change their gemstones into other gemstones nor can they move them to a different part of their body, but it hasn't been confirmed that they can't ROTATE them.
I actually talked about this theory a while ago, slightly different but still close to it, about Pink and Rose putting a facade about the shattering business to scared the diamonds about the whole thing on Earth. Or another one with Pearl been the one shattering PD instead of Rose, and why she doesn't shapeshift anymore. However, I like your theory, and maybe the shapeshifting thing might be off, but something that we as the fandom don't know yet, is how some powers for the diamonds might differ from gems. Yes, we know that regular gems can't change their color, gem placement or even rotate them to look different, but what if Diamonds in fact, can? Or at least, rotate their gem? And in PD case, rotate her gem so she can look like a Rose Quartz and also, look like the diamond she was suppose to look like? After all, Diamonds have a power on their own and are indeed, very strong. It's even possible that PD only had that on her gem even tho she was the very first defective diamond of her kind, we had already seem that even defective gems can develop or have their own powers that no other have seem before, like Peridot for instance, she can't shapeshift but can use a sort of metalkinectic power, something that no other gem had before, so it's not something crazy or out of the picture to thing about. Garnet's perspective might even be how the original Rose behaved so everything was more believable or sort of, and PD on the other hand, took things on her own as the new Rose Quartz. The whole thing kind of fits, again, with the old ending theme "Love Like You", even tho, confirmed by Sugar, that the theme in fact, "reflects the overall theme of the show of self-acceptance", so this could also be PD accepting that she would never be like the other diamonds, accepting that she might be defective, but doesn't mean she's wrong or "broken". "I always thought I might be bad Now I’m sure that its true ‘cause I think you’re so good And I’m nothing like you" "When I see the way you look Shaken by how long it took I could do about anything I could even learn how to love like you" At the end of the day, we still don't know much about the diamonds yet, just as much as Steven does, about their powers or how everything came to be are still unsure and under the veil to be uncover in the future.
I think Garnet's telling of the Rose Quartz story is simply this - she's telling an history the way we'd tell a history to someone who didn't know about or had heard differing tales on the subject. There's a lot of things that are easily explained (the writers keep it simple, you guys) - 1. As this is at most an abridged history lesson, I think Garnet isn't following a timeline or that all of her events are in order. It's the same way we would try to describe an historical event and, unless we're all history majors or buffs, we'll just to jumble things together to make a cohesive story. 2. Just because we saw a flashback from Stevonnie doesn't mean that Pink Diamond was given/got Earth the next day. There could've been years between Jungle Moon and the events that kicked off the series. BY that, I mean consider how Steven ages - he might be 14, but he looks and has the mind of an 8 year old. Pink DIamond was a spoiled brat. Whose to say that once she matured, she didn't also shapeshift herself to reflect that maturity? 3. To go with 2, she can be mature and still be a spoiled and now obnoxious teen/adult diamond. We've seen her personality. 4. Vox...I'm guessing you're over the age of 18 at least. And I'm hoping that you've completed the basic education, though I also think that of most of the fandom, but maybe I'm wrong. Do you all honestly NOT know the difference between the definitions of 'safe' and 'kidnapping'? Garnet's exact words *"During her reign on Earth, Pink Diamond STOLE humans from their families as trophies of her conquest."* Stealing humans from their families DOES NOT in ANY way sound like "saving". 5. Also, you all realize that the human zoo we see is after 5,000 years, yes? That is to say, like modern zoos today, what we see now is NOT how it was in the olden days. Not to mention that, despite it being called PINK's human zoo and having some of the original pink exterior and interior, all of the zooman are in BLUE, all of the fruit is BLUE, the background environment is BLUE, the choosening circle is BLUE...do you see where I'm going here? The wellbeing and happiness of the current zooman are not due to PINK'S influence, but BLUE'S. Obviously, the new PDMM brought up in the trial throws a wrench in everything, especially when it's clear that not even Garnet or Pearl seem to know the real truth. I still maintain that Rose was set up to the point where even SHE wasn't aware of the full truth. That would explain why she would tell others that she had shattered Pink Diamond, with A sword; everyone just assumes she used the one from Bismuth, but 1. we know that wouldn't shatter any gem and 2. that didn't seem to be a staple in her arsenal as she straight up attacked Blue's court without it. I think when the truth comes out, it'll be shocking for everyone - fans and in-show characters alike.
I see so many people confused by this line, Imagine it like a freed slave saying they are a black man that belongs to no one. Pearl decided to defy her purpose (pearls are basically pretty slaves that are accessories). So she belongs to no one.
Which is sort of false advertising seeing how Pearl most likely came from White Diamond's... uh.. Clan? Family? Stock? Whatever. Point is, I think a "freedom seeking pearl" would have been a better description.
I think Garnet phrased it that way as a sign of respect to pearl, because in Pearl's opinion she never belonged to her "master" she belonged to no one. Ever. My question is why was she on earth? And how are pearls made in SU? Because pearls are born from organic life, they don't come out of the ground. What if Pearl really didn't belong to anyone? What if pearls were not a thing until they found earth? So our pearl was like, just born as the rebellion was taking hold and Pink was like "You will soon be assigned a master" and Rose was like "Or, OR.... you could fight back and have no master!" What would you choose? Just a thought
Outlaw you just gave me an interesting thought, I think pearl was one of countless pearls of white diamond. I think she was defective because her gem shape is oval more than perfectly round, so she was given to pink diamond as a "gift" to celebrate her first colony.
I think some of garnet's Theory might be wrong because she might be going off on what rose told her but rose didn't tell the gems everything she wasn't there at that time until the end of the flashback
JOVEX anything that would make sense cuz Garnet didn’t meet Pearl and Rose until AFTER Pink Diamond was (supposedly) shattered and right after Garnet’s “flashback” ends we see Rose protecting Garnet and Pearl behind her shield when Yellow, Blue and White diamond are doing their blast attack thing but during this Garnet looks like what we know her to look like today. I don’t see why the 3 diamonds would wait for many hundred to many thousands of years to attack Earth with their blast and I don’t see how or why it would take them a long time to find out about Pink’s “shattering”, it doesn’t make any sense; now of course we don’t know when Garnet changes her look but I believe it would be a long while before she does so.
Last time I checked, it was never stated that Garnet met Rose and Pearl after she was shattered. In fact, this episode confirms that she met them prior to the shattering.
Storm Bringer777 It was in an episode a long time ago that Garnet met Rose & Pearl after Pinks “shattering” I forget the episodes name but it was the origin story episode of how Ruby and Sapphire fused for the first time and became Garnet in front of Blue Diamond and Blue diamond was disgusted by it so Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire) fled and went to Earth and met Rose and Pearl
Pink Diamond is obviously putting up an act. She’s shape shifting and likely learned a lot from Yellow and Blue since Stevonie’s dream. The Human Zoo was created thousands of years ago. Pink Diamond could have tormented them but once Blue took over, she showed her softness and helped them in her memory. Plus it’s like zoos in real life, some people interpret them as paradises, others as prisons.
Pink D can place wrong memmorys inside of other gems, and she used this abillity for creating "friends" - her obsession with humans came because she can't alter their memmory (until she becomes a full grown steven) - this could also highlight why aquamarine is pround of her perfect memmory - her gems mind can't be altered
Not when her punch mark was made at near-Stevonnie height, which would place Pink at Garnet’s height, at the time of that incident. And Garnet is smaller than Rose. Rose is large for a gem, which makes Pink near medium or average height. Not bigger than regular gems, but too similar.
I swear, a diamonds size has to do with the amount of planets that they claim! Like for instance, : White diamond - Most amount of planets ~ Yellow diamond - Has the 2nd most planets ~ Blue Diamond - Has 2nd least planets. And then there’s pink, she was tiny in the “flashback” that Stevonnie had, but when she had earth as her own she seems larger!! And if you’re going to get at me for the fact that blue and yellow seem the same size aside from yellows “hair” if you look at the scene of the corruption song you will notice blue diamond is smaller than yellow and again white is way bigger than both of them! But hey that’s just a theory, a gem theory! P.s. I’d love it if the round table were to try and go deeper with this theory! :3
Spencer McKee Lets see what’s the difference in between a human and a diamond. Hmmm. I don’t know. Maybe the fact that the diamonds have a literal DIAMOND embedded in them that gives them their form different body shapes and such and it gives the their powers. And we all learned that gems can have more than one power, so. But seriously though, you’d compare an alien that has magical powers to a human.
interesting how the off-colours note "the story always ends with the crystal gems losing" , because thats the ONLY part of the story that was an actual flashback with garnet present and not her just telling a story. i feel like that just confirms that thats the only part of the story thats 100% true
I just realized was Bismuth was bubbled. She would have ruined Rose's plan by saying the sword can't shatter people. That'd have raised so many questions.
3:27 IT’S A PERSPECTIVE SHOT. The ‘camera’ is much closer to Pink than it is the Quartz soldiers, so she appears bigger. That’s probably as close as they are allowed to get to her. Beyond that, it’s obviously stylized and not intended to be literal. Portraying her as bigger is a way of showing power, and as a Diamond, she wields a lot of power and respect from lesser gems
Pearl was told by her diamond that if she went through with the plan they'd both be free and so pearl following her diamonds orders says she belongs to know one, kinda sad pearls just like the other pearls...
The person who told Garnet all the information about Rose is Rose or if not her then pearl. And if it was pearl, then rose told her. Either way, if garnets story was false, that means Rose lied about the past
I feel like this all goes to show that Steven/stevonnie’s empathetic dreams aren’t 100% accurate to the size of whoever they’re experiencing the memories through
OMG WHAT IF PINK DIAMOND HAS BEEN IN A BUBBLE IN THE TEMPLE THIS WHOLE TIME BECAUSE ROSE JUST DESTROYED HER PHYSICAL FORM AND HID IT FROM THE OTHER GEMS TO MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER. (srry for the caps >O
In terms of scale, I think you take visual ques too literally. We already know the storyboarders aren’t that concerned with 100% consistency when it comes to height of characters. I don’t think we can say what is “true” about Pink Diamond’s size, until we see her next to characters we know. Not a distorted dream, not a stylized flashback. Actual Pink Diamond. Pink is undoubtably smaller than the other Diamonds, but I don’t think we know for sure that she’s as small as Garnet.
Arella Jardin we know pink diamonds height from the broken window she punched, when stevonnie woke up they stood beside it and even placed their hand on it. The part that was broken was slightly above stevonnies shoulder making pink diamond slightly taller than stevonnie.
I know of that clue, and if the crewniverse meant it and follow through, great. However, I think people are putting too much weight on that single little clue, too early. Pretty much every other hint has shown a Pink as taller, at the very least, twice as tall as Rose or Garnet. We’re also assuming her height was constant. Something may have changed. In this video, he’s comparing a Pink well into the conquest of Earth, to a Pink still treated like a child and having no colony. We don’t know how much time transpired between those points. Maybe thousands of years, maybe a month, who the hell knows. Her height could have changed. Her appearance overall seems to have, going by murals and stylized flashbacks. All I’m saying is, I’ll wait until I see more.
Arella Jardin honestly we can't even trust height at all in SU, heights are so inconsistent it's silly. For example the size of yellow diamonds chair was smaller in jungle moon than it was in the trial, I think that because diamonds are different than normal gems they grow over time but we have no clue at this point.
Heck, even Steven and Connie’s heights are all over the place, depending on season and artist. I was thinking of the chair on the Diamond Base on the Moon, and it’s really not that big, certainly smaller than you’d expect for Yellow Diamond. But the computer console is low enough for Peridot to use easily. I was just looking at images of the palanquins, and Pink’s looks smaller than Blue Diamond, but is still huge, and if we assume the chair is consistent with Blue’s palanquin dimensions, Pink would still be a rather large woman. I enjoy speculation videos, but I think sometimes we start to give the Crewniverse too much credit. Like every single tiny frame of animation or detail holds some greater meaning, that everything is planned out and not improvised at all. Like I said, the storyboarders have gone on record at a convention, saying they aren’t that concerned with specific accuracy, usually drawing character dimensions based on what works for the shot.
I imagine Pink was ready to do anything to be accepted as an equal, including pulling an Amethyst: project to 3x normal height to fool the masses. For a long while, at times, if necessary. I imagine Blue would have helped her train. If science is indeed Blue’s domain, this would be a fascinating thing to study, and it would give them lots of time together to grow close. Maybe even impress Yellow after improving enough. Maybe she had limb enhancers after awhile, to make public appearances easier and more frequent, so she could run her colony, with courtiers, bureaucracy, and her Famethysts. After all, where 3x her natural height puts her puts the same height difference between Pink and Yellow/Blue as is between Yellow/Blue and WHITE. She could look grand enough and proportional, on her own, to the Diamonds, even if only in short bursts.
8:03 stating that "Pearl belongs to no one" and looking at her nanny like previous design with all the colors of the diamonds, this may conclude that she might have belonged to all of the 4 diamonds, through that she suffered (I think) and rose saw all of it, that's why pearl joined the rebellion just to liberate herself from the 3 tyrants and a cute peepsqueek of a diamond. Maybe thats why she always states that "I belong to no one!'' or how jasper said after seeing the crystal gems saying :''a defect, *a lost pearl*, and a fusion" pointing the characteristics of the crystal gems...
Ruby & Sapphire were with Blue Diamond that's y Garnet doez'nt know Pink BTW Pink & Stevonnie have the same height that's y they reflected Pink in the mirror

So true!

The Roundtable idk and hi!
TRUTH
I ❤ your theorys u make such a good points around everything u make
I think Garnet’s perception is just another version of propaganda. Rose had to tell all of her new soldiers about Pink from her perspective.
I think Steven is basically keeping his own thoughts to himself, he doesn’t want to tell the gems about his findings. Steven is realizing how powerful his words can be : from that list of six people bringing an attack on beach city, he is now not okay with telling anyone information unless he thinks it is needed.
^ This. Steven is growing up.... so proud :')
Brilliant (that he may be feeling immense guilt/fear over accidentally providing HW with info on six humans).
Just like his mom :,3
I'm guessing it's kinda like how he didn't tell Garnet about the trial
+Jade Fields but that's what the Diamonds are like ! ! ! ! !
I definitely think that Pink did NOT call in for help from Blue and Yellow. More likely she tried to hide how her colony was turning against her, and when they found out, took control of the situation from her, maybe even dismantling Pink's court. Pink didn't like how she was powerless again and tried to fix it by herself, and ended up getting shattered.
that makes the most sense
I agree. She was very adamant on having her own colony to control. I don’t believe she would beg for their assistance when we know she wanted this for herself. With her naïveté, she probably didn’t even comprehend the gravity of the whole situation until it was too late.
maybe pink also became sympathetic. she and rose could have planned it and where everyone thought she was shattered, nobody but rose and bismuth knew about the sword so they are theonly ones who know pink merely poofed. that could be her in the bubble cave in the temple. the other thing that kinda points to that is that Steven had the vision where pink shatters herself in the mirror foreshadowing that pink would end up giving herself to allow rose to save earth and rose in turn to keep it an absolute secret was compelled to also give herself up to be steven even leaving pearl and Greg behind
If that was true Garnet wouldn't exist. Ruby and sapphire were in blue's court and blue was on earth.
HEYYYYYYYYY
I'm pretty convinced that Rose is actually Pink Diamond, and faked her own death. They're the same size, have the same lips, and Stevonnie's dream in Jungle Moon was a memory from Pink Diamond (Rose) combined with memories from Connie. This accounts for all the discrepancies, as all the gems are misinformed. I wonder if anyone agrees with me?
that would explain why steven cries along when blue cries.if pink was sort of "inside" steven and sees her "sister" cry about her death of course she'd get sad too.the only weird thing about it is.. does that mean there was ever a rose quarz to begin with and how would pink have changed her diamond into a quarz.even when they shapeshift their gem never changes shape or size,not even when they fuse(aka basically shapeshift together into one)
Jos-Jos Radvanjí The only way that would work is if the Rose Quartz that rebelled early on earth isn't the one we know now today who is Steven's mam and was the gem that was actually shattered, while pink diamond somehow recut her gem and assumed the form of Rose?
At that point it'd make sense why Rose/Pink Diamond would want to turn into a human/Steven if somehow her gem was under strain or she couldn't maintain her form for much longer. The only bit that wouldn't make sense is the cutting of her gem tbh.
OMGO MG OMGG OMGG
You my sir, are a amazing smart cookie
Citrus Architect you guessed right👏👏👏
"Garnet didn't know pink diamond personally"
Hahahaha
Ikr
gerbenvanessen
Lol
I guess we know why she defused over this. I would be like “fml, I’m out” too.
Lol
"I dont think Garnett knew pink diamond personally at all"
Well i got some news for you 😂
I love watching old videos and seeing how close the theories are now that we know the truth
Colourful Bubble I relate so much
I believe that the only reason pink would say stuff like that is because its he first colony, she wants to prove to her fellow diamonds (mostly yellow) that she could handle it. So that's why I believe that that part could be accurate or at least close enough.
(First time getting pinned by the best and first time getting all these likes XD XD XD)
I'm grateful asf
BOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,
Rose Quartz threw a tantrum to get to Pink Diamond to get what she wants? That sounds like Pink Diamond in Jungle Moon!
NO NO NO
Octo Girly
Is that a reference? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
tyriq brown i thought the same thing her just playing her role by doing what yellow and blue do
pink diamond must look like an equal among her fellow diamonds but unfortunately like the young diamond she is her small colony fell apart and that is why most quartz soilders went to work with other gems in other diamonds colony's.
YES
(Edit: Hey I've been thinking. Every time Steven tries to ask pearl about homeworld or PD it looks like it pains her to speak. What if pearls are like (HP reference) house elves? If they are given an order by their 'master' they cannot disobey it, it pains them physically. Just a theory)
Holy shit I got a heart
What's hp
Dolandarkster Harry Potter :u
Vivalcil, Nice reference.
Vivalcil harrrrrrypottrrr
The truth will be revealed
ONLY and ONLY after Steven passed through both Blue and Yellow, helped all the townsfolk reach their highest state of character, recovering and constantly having dialogue with Jasper, and finding the last of Rose's secrets himself would Steven then be ready to discover the truth.
Probably Jasper would be the only one that Steven would be open to talk about because Jasper has an undying love for Pink Diamond that no other gem, besides Rose and the other colored Diamonds have.
“We’re not sure if Jasper’s under that impression as well.”
Jasper: “Because of what YOU did to my colony! Because of what YOU did to my planet! Because of what YOU did to my DIAMOND!”
Steven: Yellow Diamond?
Jasper: My diamond! Your diamond! PINK DIAMOND!!
that doesn't prove that she thought rose did it with a sword
@@Arisxgon Uhhh…witnesses said that she was shattered with a sword.
Are you sure she's not lying? She might be exaggerating the story to make it seem more legendary and persuade other gems to her cause.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Maybe :|
Why are you every where
Sithis what?
Obi-Wan Kenobi we cant trust her she dosent have high ground
Obi-Wan Kenobi i think you need to take back what you said dude 'cause in case you don't know i suggest you should look at the recent episode of Steven Universe.
Rose is pink diamond.
Proof:
1) They're both pink.
2) They both have belly button gems.
3) They're both dead.
Checkmate Vox.
(edit) holy shit people are actually taking this seriously stop coming after my life I'm innocent >.>
(Edit 2) WELP
Dangggg
WoW SeEMs LeGiT
I need more proofs😂
Yep!
I mean sure... The gems are different sizes, but sure!
101% legit
Are we just not going to mention that strange moment of silence? Just me?. .okay then. .
I was thinking maybe he was trying to make a creepy point that pearl wasnt there _for a reason_ but.. im not sure.. was confusing and weird xD
I've said it before, I'll keep saying it: I think that a Diamond's size may be determined by the number of colonies or amount of power they possess.
Stellar Potato except if that was true why is it that yellow and blue have been the same size since they first appeared
Ryan Wright because they haven’t been trying to get more planets they have been trying to get the cluster going
From the clip where the planets were shown with the colour diamond of the owner on them yellow owns more and even though it probobly wont show every colony the diamonds own i would have to go by the clip which shows yellow having more than white blue and pink which would mean she would be the tallest but she isnt sooo ye idk
Stellar Potato maybe they feed of the planets they inhabit like parasites. The excessive amount of organic life on earth would be more than enough to give pink a significant growth spurt
not the first time they appeared in the show but the first they appeared on home home world it doesn't say anything about them be small or grow though the years
It would be really interesting to see your take on Garnets flash back since the reveal of Rose Quartz true identity...
Do you mean pink diamond
And they totally made a point of showing how incorrect Garnet was by this whole arc of her being unreliable as a narrator. Ugh I painstakingly love this. All comedy is derived from fear.
Yes, she got timelines confused. That has nothing to do with her memory. Everything she was told that she wasn’t present for was told by Rose. If what garnet is saying is wrong, it’s because Rose lied to her.
Lucas Martinez
Oh you're right I hadn't thought of that. That's really clever. It's much wiser taking her words with a grain of salt then believing her 100%. And it's entirely possible that Rose did lie or omit certain things from Garnet and the others. She had her own secrets. Garnet herself said that.
Slauderek that’s mostly the point
Grace Louise Phillips also, garnets future vision was mostly correct until Steven came along. But as stated in pool hopping, the reason she her future vision was off is because she’s looking at it wrong
Garnet's flashback can be wrong for the sole reason she met Rose when the revolution had already started, and not from the very first beginning. Rose could have told her what she wanted her to know and not the truth.
For Rose, portraying Pink Diamond as a merciless tyrant would make it easier to recruit gems for her revolution, than telling them the truth
Maybe the reason Garnet thinks that Pink Diamond was that tall, is because last time she saw her, she was unfused. Ruby and Sapphire are two very small gems, and that might be the reason why they think of her as a tall gem.
To me it looks like pink is just sitting in a high up throne to make her look more menacing.
for me it might just be of the perspective. like we are behind pink diamond so it might be a close-up shot.
cute idea but in 4:10 garnet is fused as they fight pink diamond
Jos-Jos Radvanjí Thad her shade maybe
I don't understand what you're trying to state by that
it would be 20/20/20 vision as she has 3 eyes
"Garnet didn't know pink diamond" lol sure...
I think that the first scaling problem was just perspective and the Quartz soldiers were far away, and the second one with Rose and Pink, the throne’s seat is a lot higher than your estimations
Irok 121 Ikr
Yeah. It was just a stylized flashback. Pink's scaling is probably emphasizing her authority and how the gems were smaller in status or something.
steven universe has inconsistent scaling across all episodes
Idk why nobody is mentioning the fact that Stevonnie's vision of pink was tailored to them trying to make sense of the vision. Like how yellow was connie's mom and at first stevonnie was pink. That means they ALSO tailored pink's size to what they thought was normal. It was a combination of connie's logical side and Steven's visions.
Thats the reason stevonni is literally the same size as pink. There is no canon evidence that pink was "deformed". He literally just based this whole size thing around his own theories
what if pink diamond used limb enhancers for her legs?
shadowwolf2334 thats so smart!
Or she just grew
gems dont grow once they pop up they are that size forever
shadowwolf2334 gems didnt have that much advance technology so they couldnt wear limb enhancers
shadowwolf2334 I just imagine her in that scene sitting on a really high chair ;p
I want to see Peridot and Padparacha to fuse. That would be adorable.
Skittles Tha Rapper Period?
Thanks I didn’t notice that. I changed it.
Skittles Tha Rapper that’d be kinda random cuz they’re like two completely unconnected gems but that would still be adorable
I predict you are a clod
I don’t think it would happen, but it would still be great.
The way sapphires work is that they don't see the present they only see possible outcomes of the future and act according to that, garnet can see present and future, and so when all her predictions are based around false facts and that's what she was depending upon she basically just breaks
I'm going to make a prediction that the reason that Steven can empathically connect to other gems including diamonds, the reason that Pink had a human zoo, the reason why Garnet's story of Rose seems like a fairy tale, Pink's size, why Pearl is so tight lipped about the past and the whole deal about how unlikely it is that a diamond could be shattered especially by someone who was against shattering gems without the one weapon that could possibly do it. The answer to all of these mysteries is… ROSE QUARTZ IS REALLY PINK DIAMOND!!!
MegaOtaku :3 thx [nom nom nom]
You my friend, are a sapphire
You were right
Maybe that’s why Pearl will cover her mouth, because Steven could mention the sword and how it was designed to not shatter the gem
Rian McAuliffe We might need Apollo Justice's help
There’s also the image of Steven looking up at White’s mural on the moonbase. He might mention it to Pearl (“was she another Diamond? I think I saw a statue of her on Homeworld. How come I’ve never heard of her?”) and that’s what makes her panic and cover her mouth.
Ryu Tama oh yeah that’s a good thought!
Dan Morris Same
Rian McAuliffe
We may not know if the sword is truly useless when it comes to shattering a gem.
I feel like padparacha might end up playing a big part in telling what happened in the past. Idk maybe .
Probably didnt spell that right lol
Why the people think, padparacha can see the past? She only can “predict” things that alredy happens in the present, she cant wach the past or something
Garnet and Padparacha fusion maybe?
We dont know the full extent of her powers actually. Shes a new character.
cat dad._Yes of course, but if padparacha can see the past, why shes a of color? Know the past can be useful for HomeWorld, I think she only can see things that alredy hapend on present
I don't get why so many people seemed to dislike Garnet's story (or at least weren't impressed). It was uniquely animated, we got confirmation on things we've speculated on for years(like earth being Pink's first colony), and it showed us more about how rose fell in love with the earth. All that, on top of all the interactions with Lars and the Off Colors made this an extremely enjoyable episode for me
(But I do agree that there's something missing from the story, not everything seems to line up)
I find it kinda nice ! ! ! ! !
I just want to see how Lars and the Off-Colors out-smart Yellow Diamond's agates ! ! ! ! !
fairymairah me too.. they're gonna be more sassy than Holly Blue so it's gonna be hilarious xD
I liked her story. I just don't fully believe it for a second. And I don't think we're meant to believe it.
+Peach Dreams i know right! I was just guessing that too! 😄😅😆☻ and yet Lars was just about to be one of those humans to be in the Zoo too ! ! ! ! !
“I don’t think Pink Diamond was all ‘oooh I want a planet gimme gimme gimme’ nope not at all”
Are you guys forgetting the previous episode Jungle Moon where you saw the Pink Diamond flashback/dream and that’s exactly how she used to act?
I actually have a theory about Pink Diamond and her shards, I don't know if this has been theorized yet, but I'd like to think of it as my own. I believe that Homeworld DOES have Pink Diamond's original crystal, and the reason they were experimenting with the cluster was to see if they may be able to bring her back.
Empress_ A
Several people said that already. Its a great theory though
Oh it has? Thank you for informing me! I didn't want to steal anyones original theory. May as well help spread it along!
Empress_ A
I was just referring to this comment section. I dont know if someone made a video about it yet.
Ah, I see. Well, thank you anyway.
that's a really good one,even though they seemed to use the cluster more as a bomb than an experiment it would still be cool if they were actually trying to find shards that would fit with pinks original ones to like..glue her back together to a full gem so she can form a new body
Just remember, Garnet said, "The diamonds, unique in their flawlessness," so Pink likely use shapeshifting
I believe that 78% of quartz soldiers at THICC, holly blue is thicc, rose is thicc, garnet is thicc, the famethysts are mostly thicc, seriously, this show is wonderfull......
I feel that the reason they used the simple design for this is because most of these events, Garnet didn't exist for. Garnet wouldn't know the size of Pink Diamond because Ruby and Sapphire served Blue and probably didn't meet Pink. She may not know how Pink was shattered because she wasn't there (I feel the shattering happened before the events of The Answer). She may also have fudged bits to make a more inspiring story for the Off colors. I don't know. Hopefully we get answers at some point.
Except we've seen a flashback before (when Garnet tried to talk to Steven and he shut her down) in which Garnet, Pearl, Bismuth, and two other gems face off against Pink Diamond. So we know The Answer happened BEFORE Pink's shattering, otherwise Garnet wouldn't have been in that flashback.
Rivkah Song Why couldn't the shattering of pink diamond been before the answer
Guys the Answer must’ve happened after the shattering. Cuz pinks colony was earth. And in the Answer blue was making a colony on earth
what if pearl can't say what happened to pink diamond and what is true but can dream it and steven can watch it like a movie
would be awesome to see ,plus pearl still seems to have problems getting over what happened and we've seen steven help with nightmares before
WELP GOOD JOB THERE!!!!
Wow your good at this
G-Savvy surprise surprise you are right
What the actual heck, you were 98% right :O!!!
I know the episode is pretty old, but u know how in the trial the zircon was concluding of how pink diamond's shattering doesn't make Sense? she said y didn't pink's pearl shout "MY DIAMOND WATCH OUT!" Maybe it's because her pearl was our steven universe pearl, since she battled beside rose quartz? (my theories don't really make any sense)
Joey B
Lol, this is actually kinda accurate.
**gently yeets single pale rose in your general direction**
Zircon pretty much nearly revealed all that happened
I think pink diamond uses limb enhances and when Rose hurt her with her sword, all the limb enhances made it seem as if she shattered
Rfpenab but limb enchancers weren't made until after the war.
how do you know that?Maybe Pink was the one creating this idea, it was never confirmed in which Era was it made.
Okay okay what IF pink diamond is still alive while in shards. That white diamond hasnt appeared because she is trying to put pink back together better than before. And thats why way back they were collecting shards and smashing them together. To test how the shards form and if one will come out perfect so white diamond could do the same for pink diamond.
And as such is why Steven had a vision of her, whether because he could feel he distantly due to where he was at and the high strung feelings there or a shard of her was actually at that base hidden away. (Far fetched but its an idea)
Sleepy Alpaca THIS sounds extremely possible. You could be on to something?? 😨😨
Sleepy Alpaca, Yeah that could also explain why they made the Cluster and the Cluster prototypes
Maybe steven haze a probability to heal thos shards. Maybe his relationships with Garnet gave him future vision
What if Steven has still got memories from rose and feels sorry for blue because rose was there when pink shattered and they could have secretly been friends or something.
Idk
Wow great theory. One thing bugs me though. If the Diamonds want to resurrect pink wouldnt they have wanted to keep Steven alive?
But at least we still haven't seen the character design like past rose past pearl etc. From the keychain merch
Edit:I never got this many likes
we saw past rose on your mother and mine and past garnet
Bubarim Almeida yes they were from the past but they weren't wearing the same outfits as shown in the new keychain merch
'I don't think garnet knew pink diamond personally at all.'
It's so weird looking through all these old theories and knowing everything we knew was flipped upside down today.
The diamond attack was the real thing that killed the dinosaurs
You seem to not factor in that thousands of years may have passed from the time of pink having no planets to having one. She most definitely matured in that time.
Or got limb enhancers.
Or trained herself to enlarge herself by 3x, like how Amethyst did to maintain a Jasper disguise.
Oh! Oh! Also! Don’t all gems emerge at the size they’ll be for eternity?
Garnet and Pearl become taller with the time, or at least thats how it looks when you compare the episodes where Greg and Rose meet with the ones from Steven time
Jessica Villar
Thats just inconsistent artwork. Like Peridot getting smaller.
Jessica Villar they weren’t actually shorter, it’s just that since their “young”, they were drawn and portrayed more inexperienced. Also they would all look shorter than usual with rose towering even garnet
Let's not forget the fact that Garnet believed Rose Quartz is a unique gem that came out differently than all the other quartz in the kindergarten we know that's not true there are many other Rose Quartz at the zoo that Pink Diamond intentionally created she was not a random new quartz created on accident but what if Garnet doesn't know there are more Rose Quartz Gems
TVmaniac26 which is weird because sapphire and ruby were both in the room with all the bubbled rose quartz, their distraction helped Greg and steven escape that room.
But remember it took both Greg and Steven to realize the bubbled gem were Rose Quartz until both Blue and Yellow mentioned they were Rose Quartz Gems and they made the comparison when yellow was singing. Ruby and Sapphire were only in the room for a short time and were too busy dealing with both Blue and Yellow trying to avoid being caught. They were distracted trying to think of an excuse to trick the diamonds. Even if they did see the bubbled gems it was for a short period of time and they were too far away to make out. They probably assumed they were different gem prisoners that the diamonds kept. So like Greg and Steven, Ruby and Sapphire did not make the connection right away. It's not like they put all their attention into trying to identify the gem when all there attention was on the diamonds and if the diamonds realized they were distracted with something else that wasn't then they would be furious and offended. They were completely focused on the diamonds out of fear they couldnt concentrate on anything else but this is just a theory of mine
TVmaniac26
Just because Rose Quartz was different and unique as a person doesn’t mean that Garnet thinks that there are no other Rose Quartzes. I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that aside from the Diamonds, there are multiple ones of every Gemstone and Garnet knows that considering her roles on Homeworld. They just portrayed the other Quartzes (possibly even Rose Quartzes) differently in the flashback because they’re not the focus.
The implication wasn’t that rose quartz gems in general were unique, but that Rose Quartz the individual was unique compared to the other rose quartz gems. Not in the obvious ways like Amethyst or the Rutile twins, but because of her compassion and technical pacifism which would not be an intended trait for a Soldier gem.
I'm pretty sure she knows about other Quartz soldiers, she IS just saying that Rose came out differently as in a different state of mind/paradigm. And she fought in the war so she would have fought with a quartz soldier of course, anyway just a thought :P
Heya
So what if Pink Diamond used some kind of a wig and large dresses to look bigger and more intimidating? She never standes up in front of a gem so no one will notice. This was the Diamonds idea so any of the PD's gems would hestitate against her authority.
Seeya
Renata Wilde #limbenhancers
Renata Wilde I can totally see pink using limb enhancers later on
Or a helmet
Renata Wilde if pink wearing gown,she never be taller,just 30% look bigger.
Limb enhancers and a helmet
MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE DIAMONDS!
The light corrupts the gems, but the song makes them forget. That's why centipeedle don't remember who she was for a little while.
I feel like Padparacha wouldn't know if Garnet was lying truthfully. She has to experience something to have hindsight she can't read minds.
SteviiLove Well, she can "see" intentions, she did with Emerald and her missing the Sun Incinerator *on purpose*, so i think that if Garnet was lying she would have "seen" her dishonesty.
but it's not like Garnet is lying, she's telling the story how she was told.
@Guglielmo Gallucci She might have and chose to keep quiet. What if Garnet has the ability to block others of her kind/similar to her from reading the paths she is choosing? Garnet might even know a trick to slip past the detection with lies constructed or believed in a certain way.
Yeah duh Garnet’s wrong.
Garnet’s just a FIGURE HEAD for the Crystal Gems who knows NOTHING about Rose’s origins
Pearl is probably the best to ask about these things and it’s very frustrating that all the characters think that Garnet’s the best one to ask about these things WHEN SHE’S NOT.
ugh.
in the scene where its the quartz soldiers talking to pink, who is shown on a larger scale than what we know she is, it can possibly be an emphasis on the power she holds over the Quartz soldiers depicting that she is the one in charge, showing us, viewers, how she deems to see her followers as smaller than her when they're most likely the same size. Or it could be an over the shoulder shot and she makes them stand further back to make them seen smaller in her eyes. Love your work Awestruckvox! keep up this amazing content!!
Little did he know, Garnet Did know Pink Diamond well!
is simply wrong becuase that sword cant shatter for shit ,and rly . it sounds so biased . its up to steven to discover the truth . and the only way is just for him to pressure on pearl and coax it out of her
I dont think Pearl would speak even if she wanted to, it seems like she is unable to do so bc of some kind of conditioning
Sancho Man nah . I think she will eventually will.if steven bonds with her and keeps pushing,that programming shall be broken. And if pearl Finnally speaks freely,she will finnaly be a free pearl.
Yeah because Steven struck bismuth in the gem but she was fine all she did was poof.
yOUR SPELLING HHSHDHHWWHHD
The gems need to hold her hands back so she can talk about it
(This Theory only exist with the base idea that Rose is pink diamond) what if Rose/ pink diamond was changing her form depending on the situation cuz when garnet and the others fought pink diamond Rose was nowhere to be found in that image. And what if the memories that Sevani is getting a pink diamond is actually Stephens mother's memories which is being relayed through his gem.( and you don't think it's funny that Stevens gem looks like the top side of a diamond)
Suoh Bk However that doesn't explain why the gem on the belly changes. Even if the shape-shifting capabilities of gems were to be able to mimic glass-like appearances, wouldn't rose Quartz's Gem be showing the diamond gem that is right behind it?
Sevani is a new character?!
Suoh Bk It's impossible since a gemstone doesn't work that way. Steven was scanned numerous times and even encountered the Diamonds. Surely they can sense another Diamond. Besides, if Rose is Pink diamond, that would mean she would have to had fought the war on both sides. It was a war and surely both sides would've noticed something was wrong with their leaders.
Oof
Suoh Bk aaand the hundreds of other rose quartz gems that are identical to his
yeah I got the feeling something was wrong with that flash back when I first watched the episode especially since we know that Roses sword cant shatter. Plus calling for help didn't seem very Pink like since it would be pretty much admitting to Blue and Yellow diamond that they were right and she cant handle a colony of her own. who knows, maybe Garnets version of the story was propaganda Rose created to hide the truth about Pink Diamond from newer followers
"I don't think Garnet knew Pink Diamond at all"
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
This is making me realize that asking the right questions is important. Everyone was wondering HOW Pink was shattered, but not too many people were wondering WHY she would have needed to be shattered in the first place
Lately been thinking what if pink started to share the same views as rose towards the end of the war and then yellow shattered her cause (remember yellow got a little bit scared during the trial) cause she didn't like this way of thinking.
Or White did, after Yellow reported Pink.
There is a question that nobody asks in the comments
WHAT’S IN THAT CHEST!!!?
Meer Sindi what chest?
Dragon empress The one in lion’s mane
Jimmy Hoffa and the Lindburgh Baby
Robert M ?
That's the million dollar question for me right now.
Another thing I noticed is that in the flashback,Pinks palquin was decorated with diamonds which we know isn't true.The metal has been shaped like flowers in the palquin she came out of when she was dhattered.
Unless there are 2 pink diamonds
What if the shard experiments were in used to try and revive Pink Diamond?
ooh! Interesting idea! so a homeworld gem or the diamonds could have been at that moment of the shattering so they could get the shards, or just went over then all of a sudden they see shards.
someone should have picked up the shards, otherwise that ain't the reason.
But nevertheless it's a good idea!
Wouldnt they have wanted to keep Steven alive then?
Why wouldn’t Rose not lie??
She lied about what had happened to Bismuth
So she probably did throw in a lie somewhere in the flashback that she told Garnet.....
This is just my own little head cannon, but what if Pink Diamond is taller than depicted. I mean, yeah she was shown to be short in Jungle Moon, but she is also depicted at bratty and childlike so she could have shapeshifted smaller to annoy Yellow Diamond. Honestly, I think she is about the height of Opal or Rainbow Quartz, seeing that the height of the diamonds somewhat mirrors that of the Crystal Gem fusions (Alexandrite being the tallest while Opal or Rainbow Quartz being the shortest [out of the pure gem fusions]).
I don’t think garnet is lying at all. What if that was pink diamond BACK THEN!!! Stevonnie’s vision could possibly be pink diamond if she ever reformed OOR if she was poofed instead. With pink’s personality she would try to go fast with her regeneration just like amythest. Although this will sound stupid you mentioned stevonnie and pink almost had the same height, it could be that but I highly regret putting this here. We also know that they kept bismuth in the temple for thousand of years without the gems knowing, so what if rose has lied saying that she shatter her. Your most likely right, garnets perspective isn’t accurate but pearl wasn’t there either when she “shattered” pink, so she has accurate info but not about that battle. Liek if u read this whole thing plz
Remember the chest in lions main? What if Pink Diamond is bubbled in there and she was never shattered?
That would be boring - SU knows better than that
Vox hates that theory lmao
Kapuana Lelenoa she became steven
This theory is so old
Kapuana Lelenoa Personally I think that Pink Diamond's gem is being used as a tool, like Lapis's gem in the mirror. Her gem powers Rose's room or even the entire temple.
The fact that we have two different stories of Rose and Pink diamond coming from opposite extremes like the crystal gems and homeworld it makes the relationship of rose and pink diamond more of a mystery it really is cool story telling I just wish we get more episodes of Steven finding out more on this story that neither side saw.
In season one episode twenty-two the Crystal Gems sing a song at the end with a lot of specific foreshadowing. Steven sings the lyrics "Can't you see it in our eyes? We're the one. We're the one." Then, later in the song diamonds appear in his eyes. This is important because in all the episodes prior (and the earlier part of this episode) his eyes would have stars in them. It should be noted that this song was originally written for an all Steven band and the lyrics applied to that band initially. Also, when Steven sings "I accidentally created an alternate timeline." Pearl looks extra concerned even though she saw all the other Stevens appear in front of her and knew the powers of the hourglass. The last line has a direct correlation to what occurs in season five episode eighteen, 'A Single Pale Rose'. Steven sings "I learned to stay true to myself by watching myself die." Side note: Connie's eyes only have diamonds whereas the Crystal Gems have stars like Steven (aside from the instant mentioned above).
Here's my version of Rose's path:
I wanted Rose to have been made on Homeworld, maybe the first gem that Pink Diamond ever made. But unlike normal Quartzes that are made for fighting, Rose Quartz gems were more defensive, partly due to Pinks desire to be protected.
Think about it; Pink Diamond is the youngest gem. She is seen as a child in the eyes of her diamonds and when she created her first gem, the gem came out with maternal instinct. The ability to heal Pink Diamond’s gem if it was to ever get cracked, enhanced reflexes and speed to rush to Pink Diamonds aid if she needed her, a shield and a bubble to protect Pink Diamond from being harmed, and the ability to float and reach things that Pink Diamond couldn’t because of her short stature.
But Rose Quartzes were not actually made for fighting. What active fighting abilities do Rose Quartzes have other than their strength? Rose has her sword but that was given to her by Bismuth.
Rose was originally Pink’s bodyguard/friend/maternal figure and she was the first Rose Quartz to be made. Rose kept Pink safe and out of trouble on Homeworld. Keeping her entertained while Blue and Yellow were busy building colonies. While the other diamonds had Pearls, Pink Diamond only had a Rose Quartz. Rose bonded with White Diamond’s Pearl (our Pearl) who eventually fell in love with her.
Rose was there when Pink asked for her own colony and she was the one to heal Pink’s arm, which Yellow Diamond injured after Pink broke the glass.
And something inside Pink broke too.
Tired of not being taken seriously, Pink tried to prove to Yellow that she could handle her own colony with Rose by her side, watching her struggle. The only person that she could trust, who actually saw her potential.
The only gem to call her “My Diamond,”
Then Pink was given her own planet and her own colony. She and Rose went to earth together. She created Jaspers and Amethysts to help with the colonization, but Rose was still the only Rose Quartz. Pink Diamond was worried that her gems would not respect her, when they saw how small she was, so she stayed in her Palanquin at all times, using Rose as her mouthpiece.
Rose grew fond of the humans on the planet and expressed her concerns to Pink Diamond about the effects the colonizes were having on the planet and the people who lived there. So, Pink invented the human zoo as a place for them to go.
But who would take care of the humans on the zoo?
So, Pink made more Rose Quartzes for the task but kept her Rose separated because she was special.
But Rose wasn’t just concerned about the humans there. She fell in love with the rain, the flowers, and the animals. She fell in love with the way things changed on the planet and the earth adjusted. And the more she spoke out to Pink Diamond, the more the distance grew between them. Then Rose started giving different orders. Ordering gems to help humans, to build, lies that she said came from Pink Diamond.
And when Pink Diamond found out…the betrayal changed something inside of her. She banished Rose back to Homeworld, where she was to work in the zoo with the humans she loved so much. But without Rose, Pink was afraid to show herself. When she confessed her fears to the other Diamonds, Yellow made her limb enhancers to give her the height of the other Diamonds, and a spikey helmet similar to the one Yellow’s so that she would look more frightening. She vowed never to get close to a gem she created again.
And then she went back to earth, a colder, crueler gem, leaving Rose on Homeworld. There Rose reconnected with Pearl and after telling her of her desire to go back, Pearl agreed to help. Pearl helped Rose still a ship, having the knowledge of how to fly one and the two landed on the spot from the Sword and the scabbard. The two had the conversation that Pearl showed Steven. They started the rebellion, Rose recruiting gems with similar feelings on the planet as her.
The rest of the story; the part with Pink Diamond being shattered should have been left out. I wanted to hear that part from Pearl.
But I believe that if Pink and Rose were close, she might have believed Rose was coming to surrender. It would explain why Pink stepped out of the Palanquin, she never believed that her Rose would really hurt her.
Sorry, that was long :)
You're losing PERSPECTIVE on Pink's size because those quartz soldiers are farther away from her than you realize. YOU can't say that Garnet's firsthand eyewitness account of Pink's size is wrong when you're only account is through a dream that Stevonnie had. You do realize all of the other inconsistencies that dream had. I would put more stock in Garnet's testimony than in Steven's dream.
Tim Possible Height consistency is an issue I have. Pink maybe as tall as Stevonnie in one episode, but when we see her again she'll probably be as tall as Opal
DK.Galaxy Actually,at 4:32,pink would be a little taller than rose,it's easy to tell because of the size of her arms,her throne has to be a bit high up,otherwise it wouldn't make sense(the anatomy)(sorry if I have bad english xp)
DK.Galaxy the animators have trouble with that. One time lapis was the same height as Pearl another time she was shorter. They made amethyst smaller than ever in the most recent episode she was in. They've made peridot shorter with every episode. That's why these guys shouldn't put their faith in every visual because it's all an interpretation.
I think is because the Crewniverse are still making up their minds on PD's actual appearance.
Yet, there's on question still left unanswered, what came first, the gem or the kindergarten?
...
I call it the diamond paradox.
to Gem or to Kindergarten... that is the question!
literature...
Quantum Proton Oh shit. Maybe the first gem was created by accident? Or a different alien race created the gem race?
Here's what I think, I think Pink Diamond was best friends with the "Original" Rose Quarts after her subordinates reported what Rose was doing, where they both bonded over their mutual love for life, individuality, and love. Perhaps they were both trying to find a way where both gem kind and life itself could live properly side by side. But that all ended when the diamonds could have caught wind of the lack of productivity on the colony as Pink was seeking to preserve life on Earth. It could be possible that Pink and Rose then worked together to set up a "Rebellion" in hopes of stalling for as long as possible, all the while promoting individuality and love to those who wanted to listen and even perhaps turn those who may have been more stubborn in their ways of falling in line. Of course this could have caught the attention of the Diamonds once again, either worried about Pink or to contain and quash the rebellion before it could spread off world, they would then send their support to assist Pink in the war tipping the scales in their favor as the Crystal Gems started losing, in a last ditch effort to scare the Diamonds and their gems off world, they would have to "Shatter Pink Diamond" But because none but a diamond can shatter another diamond as well as needing both the shards and a witness or two to make it believable, it could very well be possible that Pink and the Original Rose Switched places with one another by means of shape shifting. I quite like this theory because it provides an interesting sacrifice of someone Pink may have genuinely cared about dearly, which would become a turning point for Pink as it would both cause her to eventually, or at that moment, grow as a person and strive to become someone like Rose. It adds to this drama since not only does she have to live as the Rose Quartz she shattered, but also have to live with all the consequences that came from their decisions. Unable to ever tell anyone, except for her most loyalist Pearl, in fear that all of their hard work in promoting life, love, and freedom would come undone. (sorry if I already typed this before I can't remember if I did)
Maljurok GREAT!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That is true, but when I said shape shift, I meant like what Amethyst did when she assumed Jasper's form, and who is to say that the top part of Pink Diamond's gem couldn't resemble that of a rose quartz, all it would technically take would be for Pink to re-position the pointed end into herself. If it is possible of course.
I'm not saying positions around their bodies, I'm fully aware that their gems can never change from their specific spots on their bodies no matter what form they take even in Fusion, but what I AM saying, and this is something that is still solid as it hasn't been confirmed yet, is whether they could be able to ROTATE their gems around that permanent area. Since gems like amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, etc have a flat end to them, it would technically be unnecessary to rotate them in the first place. However, it isn't confirmed that the Diamond gemstones have a flat end, I'd like to think that the gemstones of the Diamonds take on a more three dimensional form like you would see in commercials, and since we don't know whether they can actually rotate their gems, my theory is still solid in a way. More importantly It wouldn't take much to fool Eyeball since all they would have needed to do was just change their forms to begin with. As for shards, since they would already be difficult to identify it would still be possible to fool them into thinking the Rose Quarts shards are actually "Pink Diamond's". I know they can't change their gemstones into other gemstones nor can they move them to a different part of their body, but it hasn't been confirmed that they can't ROTATE them.
I actually talked about this theory a while ago, slightly different but still close to it, about Pink and Rose putting a facade about the shattering business to scared the diamonds about the whole thing on Earth. Or another one with Pearl been the one shattering PD instead of Rose, and why she doesn't shapeshift anymore.
However, I like your theory, and maybe the shapeshifting thing might be off, but something that we as the fandom don't know yet, is how some powers for the diamonds might differ from gems. Yes, we know that regular gems can't change their color, gem placement or even rotate them to look different, but what if Diamonds in fact, can? Or at least, rotate their gem? And in PD case, rotate her gem so she can look like a Rose Quartz and also, look like the diamond she was suppose to look like?
After all, Diamonds have a power on their own and are indeed, very strong. It's even possible that PD only had that on her gem even tho she was the very first defective diamond of her kind, we had already seem that even defective gems can develop or have their own powers that no other have seem before, like Peridot for instance, she can't shapeshift but can use a sort of metalkinectic power, something that no other gem had before, so it's not something crazy or out of the picture to thing about.
Garnet's perspective might even be how the original Rose behaved so everything was more believable or sort of, and PD on the other hand, took things on her own as the new Rose Quartz. The whole thing kind of fits, again, with the old ending theme "Love Like You", even tho, confirmed by Sugar, that the theme in fact, "reflects the overall theme of the show of self-acceptance", so this could also be PD accepting that she would never be like the other diamonds, accepting that she might be defective, but doesn't mean she's wrong or "broken".
"I always thought I might be bad
Now I’m sure that its true
‘cause I think you’re so good
And I’m nothing like you"
"When I see the way you look
Shaken by how long it took
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you"
At the end of the day, we still don't know much about the diamonds yet, just as much as Steven does, about their powers or how everything came to be are still unsure and under the veil to be uncover in the future.
Pink diamond is smaller than the other diamonds but she is still much larger than a quartz in that form
I think Garnet's telling of the Rose Quartz story is simply this - she's telling an history the way we'd tell a history to someone who didn't know about or had heard differing tales on the subject. There's a lot of things that are easily explained (the writers keep it simple, you guys) -
1. As this is at most an abridged history lesson, I think Garnet isn't following a timeline or that all of her events are in order. It's the same way we would try to describe an historical event and, unless we're all history majors or buffs, we'll just to jumble things together to make a cohesive story.
2. Just because we saw a flashback from Stevonnie doesn't mean that Pink Diamond was given/got Earth the next day. There could've been years between Jungle Moon and the events that kicked off the series. BY that, I mean consider how Steven ages - he might be 14, but he looks and has the mind of an 8 year old. Pink DIamond was a spoiled brat. Whose to say that once she matured, she didn't also shapeshift herself to reflect that maturity?
3. To go with 2, she can be mature and still be a spoiled and now obnoxious teen/adult diamond. We've seen her personality.
4. Vox...I'm guessing you're over the age of 18 at least. And I'm hoping that you've completed the basic education, though I also think that of most of the fandom, but maybe I'm wrong. Do you all honestly NOT know the difference between the definitions of 'safe' and 'kidnapping'? Garnet's exact words *"During her reign on Earth, Pink Diamond STOLE humans from their families as trophies of her conquest."* Stealing humans from their families DOES NOT in ANY way sound like "saving".
5. Also, you all realize that the human zoo we see is after 5,000 years, yes? That is to say, like modern zoos today, what we see now is NOT how it was in the olden days. Not to mention that, despite it being called PINK's human zoo and having some of the original pink exterior and interior, all of the zooman are in BLUE, all of the fruit is BLUE, the background environment is BLUE, the choosening circle is BLUE...do you see where I'm going here? The wellbeing and happiness of the current zooman are not due to PINK'S influence, but BLUE'S.
Obviously, the new PDMM brought up in the trial throws a wrench in everything, especially when it's clear that not even Garnet or Pearl seem to know the real truth. I still maintain that Rose was set up to the point where even SHE wasn't aware of the full truth. That would explain why she would tell others that she had shattered Pink Diamond, with A sword; everyone just assumes she used the one from Bismuth, but 1. we know that wouldn't shatter any gem and 2. that didn't seem to be a staple in her arsenal as she straight up attacked Blue's court without it. I think when the truth comes out, it'll be shocking for everyone - fans and in-show characters alike.
Also I’d like to point out that in the flashback it referred to pearl as “a pearl that belonged to no one”
I see so many people confused by this line, Imagine it like a freed slave saying they are a black man that belongs to no one. Pearl decided to defy her purpose (pearls are basically pretty slaves that are accessories). So she belongs to no one.
Which is sort of false advertising seeing how Pearl most likely came from White Diamond's... uh.. Clan? Family? Stock? Whatever. Point is, I think a "freedom seeking pearl" would have been a better description.
I think Garnet phrased it that way as a sign of respect to pearl, because in Pearl's opinion she never belonged to her "master" she belonged to no one. Ever. My question is why was she on earth? And how are pearls made in SU? Because pearls are born from organic life, they don't come out of the ground. What if Pearl really didn't belong to anyone? What if pearls were not a thing until they found earth? So our pearl was like, just born as the rebellion was taking hold and Pink was like "You will soon be assigned a master" and Rose was like "Or, OR.... you could fight back and have no master!" What would you choose? Just a thought
Outlaw you just gave me an interesting thought, I think pearl was one of countless pearls of white diamond. I think she was defective because her gem shape is oval more than perfectly round, so she was given to pink diamond as a "gift" to celebrate her first colony.
Hmm... true.... I still want to know how pearls are made though >_
It could .... I don't really know ... I think......
I think some of garnet's Theory might be wrong because she might be going off on what rose told her but rose didn't tell the gems everything she wasn't there at that time until the end of the flashback
JOVEX anything that would make sense cuz Garnet didn’t meet Pearl and Rose until AFTER Pink Diamond was (supposedly) shattered and right after Garnet’s “flashback” ends we see Rose protecting Garnet and Pearl behind her shield when Yellow, Blue and White diamond are doing their blast attack thing but during this Garnet looks like what we know her to look like today. I don’t see why the 3 diamonds would wait for many hundred to many thousands of years to attack Earth with their blast and I don’t see how or why it would take them a long time to find out about Pink’s “shattering”, it doesn’t make any sense; now of course we don’t know when Garnet changes her look but I believe it would be a long while before she does so.
Bryan Hampton right ☑
Last time I checked, it was never stated that Garnet met Rose and Pearl after she was shattered. In fact, this episode confirms that she met them prior to the shattering.
Storm Bringer777 It was in an episode a long time ago that Garnet met Rose & Pearl after Pinks “shattering” I forget the episodes name but it was the origin story episode of how Ruby and Sapphire fused for the first time and became Garnet in front of Blue Diamond and Blue diamond was disgusted by it so Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire) fled and went to Earth and met Rose and Pearl
Bryan Hampton it was the answer the first garnet fusion
Pink Diamond is obviously putting up an act. She’s shape shifting and likely learned a lot from Yellow and Blue since Stevonie’s dream. The Human Zoo was created thousands of years ago. Pink Diamond could have tormented them but once Blue took over, she showed her softness and helped them in her memory. Plus it’s like zoos in real life, some people interpret them as paradises, others as prisons.
Pink D can place wrong memmorys inside of other gems, and she used this abillity for creating "friends" - her obsession with humans came because she can't alter their memmory (until she becomes a full grown steven) - this could also highlight why aquamarine is pround of her perfect memmory - her gems mind can't be altered
No because even if she was the smallest diamond she was still bigger than regular gems
Not when her punch mark was made at near-Stevonnie height, which would place Pink at Garnet’s height, at the time of that incident.
And Garnet is smaller than Rose.
Rose is large for a gem, which makes Pink near medium or average height.
Not bigger than regular gems, but too similar.
I swear, a diamonds size has to do with the amount of planets that they claim! Like for instance, : White diamond - Most amount of planets ~ Yellow diamond - Has the 2nd most planets ~ Blue Diamond - Has 2nd least planets.
And then there’s pink, she was tiny in the “flashback” that Stevonnie had, but when she had earth as her own she seems larger!! And if you’re going to get at me for the fact that blue and yellow seem the same size aside from yellows “hair” if you look at the scene of the corruption song you will notice blue diamond is smaller than yellow and again white is way bigger than both of them!
But hey that’s just a theory, a gem theory!
P.s. I’d love it if the round table were to try and go deeper with this theory! :3
so why aren't the Diamonds considered evil if they can do that ! ? ! ? !
fairymairah What you should be asking is How are they not evil in general?
Neil Armstrong puts a flag on the moon and comes back fifty feet tall.
Spencer McKee Lets see what’s the difference in between a human and a diamond. Hmmm. I don’t know. Maybe the fact that the diamonds have a literal DIAMOND embedded in them that gives them their form different body shapes and such and it gives the their powers. And we all learned that gems can have more than one power, so. But seriously though, you’d compare an alien that has magical powers to a human.
AnimATIon JAMES Wow! It's almost like I was MAKING A JOKE!
I think Pink Diamond and Rose were working together. There are many events of contradictory going on. This video has given me much thought.
interesting how the off-colours note "the story always ends with the crystal gems losing" , because thats the ONLY part of the story that was an actual flashback with garnet present and not her just telling a story. i feel like that just confirms that thats the only part of the story thats 100% true
I just realized was Bismuth was bubbled. She would have ruined Rose's plan by saying the sword can't shatter people. That'd have raised so many questions.
Yo I can not wait for more episodes! It's getting gooooooood!!!!!
Ice Bear wants answers! >:(
Does anyone even realize that there's a gem that looks like pink diamond in the temple?
Yes... Rose quartz
3:27 IT’S A PERSPECTIVE SHOT. The ‘camera’ is much closer to Pink than it is the Quartz soldiers, so she appears bigger. That’s probably as close as they are allowed to get to her. Beyond that, it’s obviously stylized and not intended to be literal. Portraying her as bigger is a way of showing power, and as a Diamond, she wields a lot of power and respect from lesser gems
Pearl was told by her diamond that if she went through with the plan they'd both be free and so pearl following her diamonds orders says she belongs to know one, kinda sad pearls just like the other pearls...
Garnet is biased when it comes to diamonds
I think pink agreed with rose
My theory is rose is Knuckles 😱😱😱
So true
🖒
The person who told Garnet all the information about Rose is Rose or if not her then pearl. And if it was pearl, then rose told her. Either way, if garnets story was false, that means Rose lied about the past
ha ha
Vox: It could've been its resources. It could've been a gift by the other diamonds. It could've-
Peridot: IT COULD'VE BEEN GREAT
I feel like this all goes to show that Steven/stevonnie’s empathetic dreams aren’t 100% accurate to the size of whoever they’re experiencing the memories through
OMG
WHAT IF PINK DIAMOND HAS BEEN IN A BUBBLE IN THE TEMPLE THIS WHOLE TIME BECAUSE ROSE JUST DESTROYED HER PHYSICAL FORM AND HID IT FROM THE OTHER GEMS TO MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER.
(srry for the caps >O
No. Rose is Pink Diamond.
PARK JIMIN 지민 is my bias well I know that now that I’ve watched the. We episode
Even though i know this isn't correct, i like this theory
In terms of scale, I think you take visual ques too literally. We already know the storyboarders aren’t that concerned with 100% consistency when it comes to height of characters. I don’t think we can say what is “true” about Pink Diamond’s size, until we see her next to characters we know. Not a distorted dream, not a stylized flashback. Actual Pink Diamond.
Pink is undoubtably smaller than the other Diamonds, but I don’t think we know for sure that she’s as small as Garnet.
Arella Jardin we know pink diamonds height from the broken window she punched, when stevonnie woke up they stood beside it and even placed their hand on it. The part that was broken was slightly above stevonnies shoulder making pink diamond slightly taller than stevonnie.
I know of that clue, and if the crewniverse meant it and follow through, great. However, I think people are putting too much weight on that single little clue, too early. Pretty much every other hint has shown a Pink as taller, at the very least, twice as tall as Rose or Garnet.
We’re also assuming her height was constant. Something may have changed. In this video, he’s comparing a Pink well into the conquest of Earth, to a Pink still treated like a child and having no colony. We don’t know how much time transpired between those points. Maybe thousands of years, maybe a month, who the hell knows. Her height could have changed. Her appearance overall seems to have, going by murals and stylized flashbacks.
All I’m saying is, I’ll wait until I see more.
Arella Jardin honestly we can't even trust height at all in SU, heights are so inconsistent it's silly. For example the size of yellow diamonds chair was smaller in jungle moon than it was in the trial, I think that because diamonds are different than normal gems they grow over time but we have no clue at this point.
Heck, even Steven and Connie’s heights are all over the place, depending on season and artist. I was thinking of the chair on the Diamond Base on the Moon, and it’s really not that big, certainly smaller than you’d expect for Yellow Diamond. But the computer console is low enough for Peridot to use easily. I was just looking at images of the palanquins, and Pink’s looks smaller than Blue Diamond, but is still huge, and if we assume the chair is consistent with Blue’s palanquin dimensions, Pink would still be a rather large woman.
I enjoy speculation videos, but I think sometimes we start to give the Crewniverse too much credit. Like every single tiny frame of animation or detail holds some greater meaning, that everything is planned out and not improvised at all. Like I said, the storyboarders have gone on record at a convention, saying they aren’t that concerned with specific accuracy, usually drawing character dimensions based on what works for the shot.
I imagine Pink was ready to do anything to be accepted as an equal, including pulling an Amethyst: project to 3x normal height to fool the masses. For a long while, at times, if necessary.
I imagine Blue would have helped her train. If science is indeed Blue’s domain, this would be a fascinating thing to study, and it would give them lots of time together to grow close. Maybe even impress Yellow after improving enough.
Maybe she had limb enhancers after awhile, to make public appearances easier and more frequent, so she could run her colony, with courtiers, bureaucracy, and her Famethysts.
After all, where 3x her natural height puts her puts the same height difference between Pink and Yellow/Blue as is between Yellow/Blue and WHITE.
She could look grand enough and proportional, on her own, to the Diamonds, even if only in short bursts.
I would love if pink diamond was still alive just so she could be shattered on screen
Ciro Braga shatter steven
Welp, do I have some news for ya...
Bruh....careful what u wish for
8:03 stating that "Pearl belongs to no one" and looking at her nanny like previous design with all the colors of the diamonds, this may conclude that she might have belonged to all of the 4 diamonds, through that she suffered (I think) and rose saw all of it, that's why pearl joined the rebellion just to liberate herself from the 3 tyrants and a cute peepsqueek of a diamond. Maybe thats why she always states that "I belong to no one!'' or how jasper said after seeing the crystal gems saying :''a defect, *a lost pearl*, and a fusion" pointing the characteristics of the crystal gems...
Knowing what we know now I bet the conversation between pink and rose was actually a conversation between pink and yellow
Ruby & Sapphire were with Blue Diamond that's y Garnet doez'nt know Pink
BTW Pink & Stevonnie have the same height that's y they reflected Pink in the mirror
What if Pink Diamond’s shards are within the cluster and it’s an attempt to revive her and let her take back her planet?
I'm early...
*EXECUTE* *ORDER* *66*
Emperor Palpatine Darth Sidious dew it
Yes my lord.
When Garnet said PD thought for a moment she may have thought to keep humans in a zoo without RoseQuartz knowing
5:38 I perfectly could see a royal brat using big words to seem more important.
1:20 you mean propaganda.
