Now that I think about it, it kind of sucks that Heaven Beatle has to go from that sweet little house to that gross little terrarium without her little bed or bongos.
But at least it isn't alone.
I wish they just took the house. 😂
She can't Bingo her Bongos anymore
BINGO BONGO
Or it's Sega genesis
Here in 2019 and they are tiny, adorable and in love.
Mother Stutter yes
@furyfox13 I know!! We need to see more of them
😍
I would like but....
Yep
Homeworld: super advanced, conquering other planets and species of their technology, ever progressing in that field.
Also Homeworld: Doesn't know what wheels are.
Hey now the incas were busy taking over South America before Europe decided to nope that out of existence,and were one of the most advanced civilizations in the hard-to-inhabit americas and they only used wheels as children's toys.
Also they might have had shells millennia ago and gave up using them once they developed telekinetic classes like peridots as well as legged and hovering vehicles, which would've made such a thing pretty redundant at that point.
Yeah 😅 that's homeworld...
because they have hovering vehicles and ships that can travel the speed of light which is way better that wheels
As for the Heaven Beetle's gem -- I was thinking she might be apophyllite, as apophyllite is typically pale green and is said to be a stone for connecting to heaven & angels u///u
Amazing theory.
Cool!
Ethan Mulder Good news, it can!
I though maybe Chrysoberyls.
Lauren!!!
I want to see these gems uncorrupted so bad 😩👏
same
Cabana Star
I need to see all the corrupted gems become fully healed.
Boomage Storm agreed. First stop, Centipeedle 😂
It's like in Doctor Who, Time Lords aren't human shaped, Humans and Time Lord shaped.
Cabana Star the earth beetle just got leaked in the art book
I literally never even thought about this
Super Puffball Hi Veronica, lol
Super Puffball *ARE WE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU GOT A BONE TO PICK-*
*-ABE LE MEME-* you've came so far
what's up?
I'd usually slap your face off, and everyone here could watch!
doesn't bismuth say something about the spires being made for great thinkers to think in
ya
All I remember was Bismuth saying Bismuths were used to make spires and temples for gem elites. Unless that was said in the newer episodes, which I haven't seen, I don't recall her saying that. What episode was it she said that in?
@@Void_Echoes It was in her debut. She said she had to make spires for great thinkers to think in, arenas for great fighters to fight in, etc.
Don’t worry I can fix it
Ok, so making videogames in itself is amazing, but you glossed over the fact that she literally recreated and manipulated organic life, to not only be her size, but also long lasting, as the cactus is the same, and the furn has only just started growing. This possibly even means that this gem is the one that would figure out how to grow things in certain conditions, just like how Gems grow in Kindergartens!
Either that, or the plants are fake and the one that grew had just been replaced. Just my 2 cents as the owner of several plastic potted flowers.
I think that since Fluorite has a gem on her naval with a similar cut to the heaven and earth gems, she might have one
IntergalacticBear WV
IntergalacticBear Exactly what I thought!!! Glad I'm not the only one !
IntergalacticBear Hell beatle?
IntergalacticBear Ocean beetle?
Cocoa Doodles space beetle
Wow. Okay. Out of every SU theorist on RUclips you make the most sense. You come up with things I would have NEVER thought of and it's clear that you genuinely care about your fans as well as the fans of Steven Universe. You pay so much attention to so many details in the show and even when your theories aren't correct they're based on logic and evidence and are SO entertaining. I love your content, you are AWESOME. Have an amazing day, SliceofOtaku !!
Papa Slice is the SU master.
Josie Chamness
Who saw the gameboy in the heaven bettle's room?
Frost Byte I did
Frost Byte beetle*
Frost Byte don’t forget the Sega
And dont forget the little mug with coffee/tea in it! And the glasses and books, those are important too.
Saw it
Cool theory, however, maybe she found a dollhouse? I saw an insanely detailed homemade dollhouse at a thrift store the other day, and it was astounding! Maybe none of those electronics work, maybe the plant was fake? The H.B. could have been applied to that backpack later.
LadyZapp possibly but since 100 years ago it didn't have electronics, it would explain how it was added on later.
I think you HAVE to do a video on the desert glass she could be like lapis just trapped inside of a pillow
Hollie Cosswell I'm pretty sure one of the crew tweeted that it was a corrupted gem, but I guess it's only worth taking with a grain of salt.
what about the gem in the inverted pyramid it was trapped like lapis so logically isnt corupted as lapis wasnt
YEAH THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that the desert glass is a jade and that in homeworld jades are used as construction workers or some thing like that because she was found in the desert which is the same place all the sand buildings are.
Hollie Cosswell I don't remember where I heard it, but I think the pillow that gem is in, It's actually their physical body, a gem which its purpose is to be a building.
desert glass is actually a real gem by itself which are so cool looking, centipeetle is very likely a jade also called nephrite, who pilot dropships
a steven universe video that isn't about pink diamond??
I LOVE YOU !!! ( / § _ § / )
mario gamer 6:22
Mr.Tigerdrago :() her gem 💎
mario gamer
SAAAAAAME DUDE
I'm honestly really sick of hearing about pink diamond tbh XD
mario gamer h
What if it turns out that they aren't corrupted. What if they just got poof and changed form, showing how they look so similar to regular beetles.
They may make a comeback, or they may not. A lot of Steven Universe's humour is kind of like that... like, remember that weird black light poster in Together Breakfast that screamed when Garnet burned it? What the heck was that? Why was it inhabiting a poster from the '70s? Why was it more powerful when it transferred to waffles? How did all the other gems already know and accept that's the way things were with this particular kind of being? I doubt we'll ever know and that sort of makes it funnier.
Ruby Doomsday ya it seems together breakfast really seems like the only filler episode. Not even say uncle seems like filler.
Ruby Doomsday apparently the ink on The paper is made from shattered gems
Yup! They finally did appear in last episode :3
welp. they did.
Ha
Great theory! I never thought twice about the items in the Heaven Beetle's room, I thought it was just the animators being cute, but events in the show since then definitely suggest that it's all there for a reason! Now I'm really curious about those beetle gems!
Green Is Not A Creative Colour the fact they showed the house again in buddy's book and specifically omitted the video games that were present in giant woman is what convinced me it wasn't just them goofing around in the early stages.
I wish I was smart
people are smart in their own way. for me, I'm smart spiritually. other people might me street smart. others book smart. I know you're smart somehow lol you got this
Tasla this is a troll comment don't waste your energy.
same
andrew ryoma The most judgemental, condescending, arrogant comment i've ever seen
s a r d o n y x Look at some of Kai Barber's other comments. There is something distinctly wrong with them.
the heaven beetle might be an "ancient" Peridot, they are tech savvy and build things. the 1st era Peridots might have been made to copy technology. and the "modern day" Peridots might be made to manipulate technology that gem world already has.
I wanna see the heaven beetle play the tiny bongos
Apples and Cream SAAME
your theories maintain our souls, quench out thirst and give us life. praise you otaku. edit: hope july FINNALY brings something, cause im dying for something new.
Aren't you being a bit dramatic?
DIRETOR DA ESCOLINHA LOKA Yes, yes he is.
Marin Eduard are you dying for SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW?
i dont have a soul
Marin Eduard :) so true ^-^
What if it was a beach city character like Sour Cream that found out how to uncorrupt a gem?
Vegeta and Gajeel
that would be legit
If anyone does that, it has to be ronaldo xD
If the Diamonds corrupt via sonic weaponry, then...the key is Sour Cream's RAVES!
Raving is the solution to mental illness caused on aliens
Vegeta and Gajeel that would be amazing... well you know Steven universe, unpredictable.
“Oh NoOoO, The Heaven And Earth beetles are out for their afternoon constitutional”~ bismuth from SU movie. Hmmm, sounds pretty smart to me.
Edit: hehe, it both means to talk about governance or a nice stroll.
This literally never crossed my mind. I once hypothesized that the Heaven and Earth Beetles were the tiny gems we got a glimpse of in Adventures in Light Distortion, but wow... Massive kudos, dude. I now want to know more about these Gems.
They don't necessarily need an electrical wiring. Remember, the washing machine on the temple fusions hand didn't
dogs101o because of MAGIC Garnet words not mine. But it was pretty obvious Garnet didn't tell the truth she needed to get the conversation going. Also probably don't want to tell Steven anyways.
Micheal RUclips
I am not saying it was real magic, but the gems have ways to power technology beyond our understanding. As when garnet powered the arcade game.
Okay, tell me how it was kept going after she stopped giving it a constant supply of electricity. She did it once, and yet it still continued? Okay, that's understandable.
dogs101o or maybe she just made a wire through the arm...
What are you talking about guyz ? Garnet has electric powers
The 1% that see this i hope your having a wonderful day :)
Thank you so much
WarGround 86 it's night when I read this but thanks mate
Thanks a bunch~
WarGround 86 no u
WarGround 86 Thankyou for spreading positivity you just made my day better!!
I'm honestly curious about the corrupted gem bird from this same episode that had bubbled gems (etc) in its body. I mean, there's probably not a lot to go on with that, but I'm still curious.
P.S. Love your channel! Great content!
Those beetle remind me of the broaches in Egypt (I believe that's the right place) and Egypt is one of the most educated people to come before us and made so many complicated things WITHOUT the stuff we have so it makes a lot of sense in my opinion.
i think that little room was just like a joke or something
Naxin AŋIm̸a̾t̲̅ιo̤̮ꈤs͟
Joke or not I hope they don't forget about it and actually develop an explanation!
Alecsandro Farias ye me too
if they showed it again in Buddy's Book though it has to have some sort of importance
CallMeRemy PINK D XD
+Naxin Arts Things HOLY SHIT
Wait is chrysopase (spellings probably wrong) a quartz? If so it would sense for it to become easily attached to humans or, simply more empathetic in general. All the quartz gems we've seen have been pretty empathetic.. so it'd make sense.
Bobby Jenkins emotional?
I vote your emotional because if it was empathetic Jasper would be the very very opposite of that.
the heaven beetle made a mini gameboy and Dreamcast
Now we see there true form and it is tiny and really cute
I love videos like this that open my eyes to something I didn't notice and make me appreciate steven universe even more than I thought I did.
*Insert unoriginal early joke*
Mary Catherine rip it didn't work
When steven temporarily removed some corruption from the centipeedle, she could communicate through writing that only the crystal gems could read. Also, the corrupted gem peridot was chasing in a different episode managed to avoid all of her traps. Corruption makes them mentally distressed, but not mentally unstable to the point they stop thinking and acting like themselves, unlike most people think.
the way slice talks about these two gems is like a proud parent and honestly thats adorable
Maybe the geode beetles of heaven and earth were once undescribably powerful gems that could do many things gems couldn't and one important one: learn , maybe the heaven beetle had the similar ability to sapphires looking into the future and liking the style making it's home from what it saw , and they could of also used to terraform like lapses because gem home world colony's are hollow and lapses couldn't do that good enough so the beetles of earth and heaven would get the job done , and maybe the reason they look how they look is a common answer"corruption"
Your idea kinda fits with my newfound theory of the beetles being Citrines, which is especially interesting when you consider that they've already been name-dropped in the show... if you look up the meanings of citrine, it makes sense. The Earth beetle could possibly be Kyanite, but citrine seems more likely. FAR more likely.
WTF why did homworld choose humanoid form why not like a jelly fish or something cool humans kinda suck
{cookiemonster} Stu:Dio jellyfish can't fight a war
{cookiemonster} Stu:Dio who says they can altar their forms? Shapeshifting alone has lasting damage.
Rogue Pylon maybe what he(?) means is what if rather than humanoid as their original basic form they created a gem that have the original physical form of an animal, i mean gems are created right? why can't they design it?
I have a theory that humans made the gems in the future, and put them in the past to naturally integrate with humans to make them stronger, without forcing it like what Rose Quartz did, but the gems went a little rogue. Which is why they are all female, because you can't have a male gem leave a permanent piece of the gem light in them as gems need their gem.
As for why they did this, I think an alien threat occurred, and yeah, I am not sure. It's just a theory of mine.
EDIT: Which explains Pinks love for humans.
{cookiemonster} Stu:Dio as peridot can't shapeshift I assume most gems come out as you see then just slightly different.
2019, they are tiny, kinda tubby, elderly couple (or at least a rich couple) going for their daily walk, holding hands, and ADORABLE
Its confirmed. Beetles will take over the world
Rutile Twins Mijuu bike scrub!!
I LEFT SOMEONE ON READ FOR THIS VIDEO AND I DONT DO THAT SO LETS GET STARTED
Mind covering the Slinker? How was it so effective in combat?
Edit: Regarding the Heaven and Earth beetles, if Geode is in their titles, then would that be a hint that they are both gems that form in geodes?
Maybe it was an agate. It was terrifying.
Geod is just a term for geographical regions. Heaven and earth are such so the name doesn't need further interpreting. Do you even know what it means?
For a moment I thought I made a typo, but no. I said *Geode* not Geod. (I don't think I've heard of Geod until now actually. o.o; )
Kai Barber Dumbass.
Actually, a geode is a rock that formed in the perfect environment to have gems grow inside of it. I'm sure you've seen them in every gift shop known to man.
what if they're the smallest gem setting on the rubies ship that appeared when they were going to save gareg?
Ayran Mateo Thats what I was thinking XD
Ayran Mateo he outright brings this up in the video though
That would be aquamarine
Wait can you see the diamond in the minute 7:27?
Maybe that is pink diamond !?!?! Nvm it’s just a theory
Ayran Mateo whos gareg???
i think the things in the h.b. room are
minitures
Talk about the desert glass and why her corrupted form is a pillow.
Niklas Universe she was put into the pillow like lapis was put into the mirror. I hope I helped ;)
Pm Right, but you can still poof her and put them into an tool like lapis, corrupted or not. Take the gem shards for example, they could take over frybo and Steven's clothes. Like corrupted gems, shards are in a state of mind of who they don't remember who they used to be, but they still could be put into inanimate objects and possess them like lapis did in the mirror. So corrupted or not, she was placed into the pillow. like Steven did in Mirror gem, if he pulled out the gem in the pillow, that Gem will reform as a corrupted monster. A lot like how lapis reformed as a full gem when she was pulled out of the mirror. instead as a humanoid gem like lapis, it would reform corrupted.
You can put Gem shards into Frybo, you can put a Gem into a house, and you can put a Gem into a mirror and still keep their sentience.
It's pretty clear you can put a corrupted Gem into anything.
RevolvingWorld thank yoouuuu
Is it cause sand is associated with sleep??
I think they were probably a permafusion, based on them kissing on Change Your Mind, which is why Garnet in particular wanted to keep them together.
This is why I LOVE your videos! You bring light to so many things most of us wouldn't even THINK of!! Great videos, keep up the good work!!
Wait can you please discuss about why the giant bird has gems in it that are bubbled, I have been curious about this so please go over it :3.
Charles Clauss also if you go to 6:22 you can see a diamond shaped gem !!!!!
What are the bubbles inside the giant bird Opal fights ?
RIGHT?!!! And do they go when they were destroyed?
I think they are corrupted crystal gems. That's why they are so respected.
Almost all the corrupted gems are.
Your opinion is correct Then possibly two very powerful crystal gems. Possibly equivalents of Emerald in Homeworlds Hierarchy
They bubbled other crystal gems like Biggs
I'm so glad you discussed this. When the episode first aired, I was really confused about the beetles and then I was distracted by Opal being the introduction to fusion. I also thought the beetles were lumped with the "Gem Artifact era", and since Rebecca Sugar said she discarded that idea and pointed the show in a new direction, I thought we were meant to forget about them. I didn't even realize they were corrupted gems!
Now that we've seen the pebbles, and their incredible building and engineering, it doesn't seem impossible that the beatles would be crucial for info gathering
Or maybe they are just decorations that don't work and the beetle actually saw the things exploring earth?
Still impressive for a corrupted gem tho...
I just want to say you are my favorite youtuber. I love all your videos. You are such a great theorist. Why are you so good!? How do make such great theories!? And also do you have any merch? I want to support you has much has possible. Love ya my fellow okatu!!!!
Never would have considered them in such an in-depth way. I'm glad you uploaded this and cannot wait to see how the crewniverse implements this into the show.
I've always wondered about them, I've been surprised no one has talked about it before, thank you!
I like to think that Rose and Greg made the house. Dunno why : p
GOODGUY 13 that would be adorable
Why did the thumbnail actually look like the uncorrupted heaven and earth Beatles
Whenever I have questions, I know you have answers, and THE BEST answers ever. So glad I found your channel! 😄💎
I've been waiting for a good analysis video on the heaven beetles omg! I didn't even think of this. The idea they built that place themselves (I sorta thought they were these Legendary gems and other people built it for them because they're Heavenly or whatever...) is really intriguing as to what kind of gems they are!!
At the Beach City Con this year they are going to have AJ Michalka the voice of Stevonnie.
Apparently, at 2019, they're both tiny lesbians~
Yes I know gems are gender neutral, but they all use she/her pronouns as far as I know so.... plus "tiny lesbians" sound cute :>
Everyone in gem species is lesbian then. :P Not counting Rainbow quartz 2.0 and the one pebble with Zach's voice. And yeah tiny lesbians sound cute. ^-^
Tomek Sz. They wouldn’t be lesbian if they were asexual.......I’m just nitpicking, your comment (reply?) made me laugh 😂
Now the image of the Heaven Beetle playing the Bongos is in my head, and it is super adorable. Thanks for the video Slice!!!
Papa slice is baaaaaackk! Yay! Can't wait for more theories from you!
My girlfriend and I love you!!!!! :3
We feel like your videos are so intelligent and well thought out, it's always a treat to see when you've uploaded a new video!! You're our favorite steven universe theorist!!!!!
[I'm the gf btw]
Hibou is lovely and has some super interesting theories btw
I have a theory sense Rose quartz has healing tears she must have a pearl and then pink diamond give her The pearl we know today and rose quartz said my pearl in the hologram. it's a short theory
I think the clip is (I think you're pretty great). Is when rose quartz says my Pearl
This is probably my favorite SU video. I never even thought about thia so deep...and it is a nice change of pase from the normal theory videos about Pink Diamond, Pink Pearl, Patty, Lion and Lars.
4:19 After
5:35 before
The plant on the left has grown, THAT MEANS THAT IS A LIVING PLANT, HOW COULD IT HAVE MADE IT??? Maybe they did make the plant, maybe they learned how to make organic life!
But are The Geode Beetles of Heaven and Earth omniscient?
have i missed any new episodes i dont want spoilers
NotSoAverageAvery What's the last episode you saw?
NotSoAverageAvery The latest episode was lars' head
thanks guys
NotSoAverageAvery
Your welcome! :D
NotSoAverageAvery no
Loving the new videos!! Keep up the great work man ^.^
I looked up gems that commonly appear in geodes and one that caught my eye was Celestine, which can be somewhat blue. It's referenced as being used in communication (especially in connection with divinity), respect, serenity, and awareness. I feel like it could be considered as another possibility for the beetles' gems.
Kinda looks like the diamond shaped gem in fluorite 🤔🤔🤔
2nd or 3rd ? i would keep the beetles as pets if i could
Complementing your theory, it's interesting how Garnet (a fusion) was focused on recovering them and *putting them back together*, like if it was really necessary.
I guess they used to be a fusion or were very close to eachother.
I never thought about the Heaven Beetle's dwelling seriously... always assumed it was a case of early-Season 1 bizarreness. I respect your excellent mind and your superior theorizing ability!
Heaven Beetle's normal form is still small
I Saw a gameboy in the room
now that you mention it i'm curious about these gems and i hope we get to learn more about gems like them.
I like this!
I also had an idea (less probable though). What if it's Snowflake and Crazy Legs? What if they got lost and corrupted. That explains why they're not hostile, why they're treated by the other Crystal Gems with such care and why they have experience with human artefacts.
Who is just here to watch the video and read the comments.
My Tormtillos Me
The real question is how do you know there corrupted😑
It was confirmed by a creator on the show...
I think so at least
Well, there's a lot of clues, given the fact that they have to be bubbled, but also, now it's been confirmed since they're uncorrupted.
this is a very in depth realization. perhaps this was foreshadowing something about corruption. like how the crystal gems tried sheltering Steven with false or misleading information. perhaps corruption amongst certain gems has different effects
It's fun to go through a theory video's comments and read the ones that were clearly posted before they watched the whole video.
onion is the geode of beetles heaven and earth
steven universe corruption theory
Delusia onion is yellow diamond and heaven beetle confirmed :p
that is not true at all
Hey
Cookie Cat HI COOKIE CAT!!
I think the size and corruption fits perfectly together. See when the diamonds used their corruption beam thing, maybe the two gems (beetles) were evacuating, rushed to get away and did that size thing like in the ruby ship, screwed with their size then got corrupted because maybe they were too late? Idk
Good god. This has opened my eyes wildly. Now I want the beetles to show up in the show again.
Aye 2
Lol
l_ 0 I
I agree with this theory alot. I would also like to point out that in the episode where the gems and Steven where in the ruby ship and the gems where smooshed down because of gravity then Steven tried to change the ships settings the 3 settings that where used seemed to be Quarts Soldier, Diamond and the last one I speculate to be uncorrupted geog beetles as we have never seen a gem other then them thats so small. The pictures on the screen just looked like tiny gems.
Nice job spotting all the details. Watching the episode, Steven says, "..and little beetle baby book" (so specific). Unless the Heaven and Earth beetles were meant to repopulate, I think HB is just mimicking humans much in the way that other corrupted gems mimic wild animals we'd recognize on Earth. And I can't really see HB traveling too far from that remote mountain. Maybe she interacted with humans before becoming corrupted. If they were Crystal Gems, maybe they were wanting to mingle with humans like Rose if not doing so with Rose. Anyway, love your videos.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought about this. The fact that they had a proper title never really resonated until me until later, but I did keep revisiting the fact that they weren't poofed. They were bubbled respectfully and gently, as if they were a higher being. And I mean ethereal, deity high, not just diamond authority higher.
Man I hope so I always liked those little guys I'd love to see them again and would be awesome to see what they are like in their normal forms.
hey I love your content plz awnser
Naty Careno hey I replied to u on jessii vee
chat collector hi
chat collector You watch her too?
hi #37
chat collector was up
this is a super cool theory and all and honestly i do agree with the idea that the heaven and earth beetles are definitely special as far as their behaviors as corrupted gems go, but i feel like since its clear the gems were looking out for them a simpler possibility is one of the gems created what amounts to little beetle doll houses for what i agree were gems they deeply respected. not to say the beetles couldnt use or interact with those items in way that show more advanced intelligence than any other corrupted gem, buuuut.. i just think it's a little odd that they'd mirror all these human household things despite being in what seems to be very remote locations. i feel like its more likely that someone else made and maintained these little homes for them.
Something you brought up in a previous video that really sparked my interest was when you pointed out that Rose Quartz's powers are all related to organic life... She can grow and control plants, she can very effectively heal non-gem creatures (indicating that she's not meant to JUST be a healer of gems), I think it's pretty safe to say that her ability to create Steven was related to her organic powers (and no other gems would be able to do that) and Steven's ability to fuse with humans is also probably relevant to Rose Quartz's specific, organic powers... and then we see that Steven also has the powers of possessing other conscious organic creatures and dreamwalking... and it's so weird that Rose Quartz (and Steven, through use of her gem) has all these powers that relate to and affect the body, mind, and emotions of organic creatures... but what's even weirder is that Rose Quartzes are the quartz class belonging to Pink Diamond's court, so maybe we could conclude that Pink Diamond (and the gems in her order) is meant to be sort of an ambassador and great colonizer for when homeworld researches and takes over other worlds. We see from the murals that her only colony was earth though, which kinda adds another interesting layer. And when you consider that she was in charge of the takeover of earth, and all the gem artifacts and structures and all the gems sent to and made on earth (including these beetles, whatever their original form may have been) were originally planned and put there by her and her court, i dunno... Like maybe Pink Diamond was the youngest/newest member of the diamond authority and she was made to advance the diamonds' goals by improving their ability to find and take over planets for their colonies, while also improving gem society by taking technology and ideas from other civilizations, but it all went wrong when one of Pink Diamond's Rose Quartzes, whose type of gem made to effectively interact with other life forms and possibly even made to be able to feel empathy for them and connect with them so as to better gather their ideas and successful aspects, decided to protect earth from being destroyed and colonized. I dunno, sorry for the super long essay comment but I think this relates a lot to this. So far we've been told that homeworld gems hate and look down upon other life forms, and yet we see that rose quartzes are made with organic-related powers, and these beetles who apparently live among human artifacts, and can reason that it would benefit gem society to be able to interact with and take ideas from other creatures on planets they colonize...
