Spinel as a Yoga instructor: Alright let's start with the basics *stretches into a literal pretzel* People who attended yoga session: *Breaks every bone in their bodies*

“Spinel would be best for- It’s definitely going to be comedian- “Child caretaker”. I really think Child Caretaker wouldn’t be best for Spinel, because you saw in Steven Universe the movie how it was hard for her to stay calm and not play, etc, she would basically be a child taking care of a child.
Spinel : Hehe, cone on kids lets play in the garden! Or Breath in...breath out, now lets stretch those muscles! Zircon : now, what do say when they make us feel like this? Pearl : Good afternoon sir, your room is right this way!
I would not want a Jasper or Amethyst pulling me over. And then, apart. I think they should do Gem fights like UFC. They love fighting even just for the sake of fighting. We have never seen Jasper as happy as when Steven was kicking the ish out of her.
Peridots could be used to predict how fusions will turn out. We've seen Peridot already do this with Camp Pining Hearts. Also, how to care for new gems, as they already do.
“So the gems no longer need to do what they’re suited for, they can do whatever they want.” *“So anyway, here’s a list of the jobs they’d be best suited for.”*
Spinel: it was just 6000 years I could do that doing a handstand White:.. Blue:.... Steven:..... Connie:...... Amethyst:... Garnet:..... Pearl:....... Greg:...... Yellow :you have achieved comedy Edit1 okay let's make more steven universe memes Also Blue diamond : im blue if I was green I would die
I see it as she could warn them not to do something she sees ruining their life, also they could work well as 911 operators or operators in general. If they predict the call coming in they can have whatever the caller needs on stand by and they can get there even faster. Just a thought

In the new *Steven Universe* I wanna see more of Spinel and Blue Zircons WHOS WITH ME?! People: I want more spinel not the Zircons 6%: YASS the Zircons!!
I would love to just have a scene where Steven is giving a tour of random parts of Homeworld, and passes a room where Spinel is doing impossible stretches in front of a class of gems, then says “Now you try!” with their faces being horrified.
I don't buy it. I am not convinced that it will only be one season. And I can also see them doing other arcs in the future. Maybe Steven Universe Origins, in which we get the history of the Gems' origin, and the colonial era, and then the wars of earth. There are so many more stories that this world has to tell. Even if it does not always follow Steven and the Crystal gems.
Whoo! new theory! and i'm early! new purpose? sounds interesting! :D edit: also, 6:32 was the best "as their future vision allows them to be very calm, patient, and analytical, 'SHE LIED TO UH-'" lol
Maybe Emeralds could be airline pilots since they already know how to use a ship. Topazes could be personal guards for high-class people like ambassadors. Jades can be senators and give speeches.

“Spinel would be best for-
It’s definitely going to be comedian-
“Child caretaker”.
I really think Child Caretaker wouldn’t be best for Spinel, because you saw in Steven Universe the movie how it was hard for her to stay calm and not play, etc, she would basically be a child taking care of a child.
PLAY OR GET STRANGLED!
That's the point I'm trying to make. I agree.

I would not want a Jasper or Amethyst pulling me over.
And then, apart.
I think they should do Gem fights like UFC. They love fighting even just for the sake of fighting. We have never seen Jasper as happy as when Steven was kicking the ish out of her.
ok so i think this a question most of us have. the f*** is a candy striper?
This is perfect, but I would add:
Roses: Gardeners
Spinel: Circus members
That is PERFECT
You should see my comment about spinel it is the same thing just put newest but if it is old put oldest

@EGG DOG hello Doggo I was trying to keep the line going of people in the Steven Universe fandom who have theory channels
“As their future vision allows them to be cal-”

yes, CALM
“So the gems no longer need to do what they’re suited for, they can do whatever they want.”
*“So anyway, here’s a list of the jobs they’d be best suited for.”*
They are basically doing what Amethyst was doing in “Guidance”
They and Amethyst are like job advisors in that way.
