Yummy Mommy yep but she’s still cool
I think Spinel is like the first gem to ever say
"You can't just make everything better by singing SOME. STUPID. SONG!!".
It shows how Spinel is actually quite messed up lolol. That's part of the reason why I like her so much, she was actually brave enough to scream it at Steven's face
Same. She isn't a sugercoated loser that just listens to Steven and turns good instantly when she encounters him.
Spinel straight up shits on Steven's way of redeeming gems by basically saying "fuck you" to him.
Yeah though I wish instead of finally joining him she just escaped to space with the possibility of changing. Also side note I think yellow and blue diamond could change and it’s believable but I think white diamond should have been bubbled or even shattered which would have given Steven some more depth.
I mean...
She's not wrong tho...
And I'll do it again
After further thought I feel like it would be cleaner if all the diamonds were out of the way. But that’s just my opinion
Spinel: *Breathes.*
Yellow Diamond: *VIOLENT, WHEEZING LAUGHTER.*
yes child.
Well yes but no

Here in the garden, let's play a game, I'll show you how, it's done. Here in the garden, stand very still. This will be so much fun.And then she smiled
That's what I'm after A smile in her eyes The sound of her laughter Happy to listen Happy to play Happily watching her drift away
this boy has memes can you make this into a shirt? I’d wear it 💁🏾♀️
Night girl, gonna see you *next century*
That was a jack move but to be far Steven was bad at talking made her freak out again just could not say lets be friends you join me here on earth.
Pink diamond couldn't even send a 10 second message like Hey I'm on Earth. You should come.
She was too busy with her new planet and forgot about Spinel after a while.
@@Ghalaghor_McAllistor That's still pretty messed up it's like a mother losing her child at a grocery store but the mom continues shopping and leaves and never comes back then has another child
She was just a toy to her. She outgrew and left her behind. Why would she leave a message?
Of course she was. She was a Diamond. Plus she always knew she was bad.
Dude bad is bad. When I said, she always knew she was bad I meant she knew she screwed up in her past. I'm not excusing anything. I'm just saying that the Diamonds all started out as abusive and became less so when they realized their mistakes. But it's the hardest for them because they were literally made to be superior to all gems. You use White to say she's good now, but she, Blue, and Yellow are all still learning just as Pink had to. It's not overnight. It's going to take them a while to be better. I'll bet you a million dollars that they'll screw something up with Spinel and Steven's gonna have to fix that too.
Song: “ I’m the loser of the game you, didn’t know you where playing. Connects to why pink dimond left her in freeze tag
Underrated
this makes sense!
like... she did lose the game, because she leaved the garden. she did not stay there....

Well, to a certain extent. I wouldn't put it pass Pink to contemplate if it's genuine "love" given that Spinel was created to be a playmate. Which can be shown with her automatically imprinting to Steven as his "best friend" after resetting.
Fake love. And unrequited love.

@@rickw9291 but the way she did it was wrong
Yes you missed out: spinel are a stone of hope, revitalization, enthusiasm and joy.
Can come in different colors most valuable is pink, but often has grey hues.
Nice one Rebecca
There are very valuable hues of pink spinel that fetch very high prices (Mahenge, Jedi, Tajik, and Ceylon types), but per carat, red spinel (vivid or intense, with either no modifier or a pink or purple one), are the most expensive.
Their rarity is over an order of magnitude greater than that of rubies of equal quality, without needing- or even responding to- thermal or irradiation treatments, but never fetch ruby-like prices. What gives these spinels pure, vivid red hues is the rare trace element chromium. Chromium gives red spinels their color like cobalt and iron do to vivid or electric-blue spinels.
Spinels were often used as substitutes for diamonds. Even a lot of royal jewelry and artifacts feature spinel ornimentation.

@Focux I personally still managed to enjoy what was shown throughout the show and the movie, but I think that the writers needed to sit down one day and agree in what to tell, how to tell it, and when to tell it.
@Focux pretty sure they were self aware, it's not the first time. Remember that episode where Ronaldo wanted to be a crystal gem? That was clear mockery, either that or when I saw it I wanted to give extra kudos to the show.
If I have to be honest, I don't think the show is ill intended, and I truly want to believe they want to come along with good messages.
It's just sometimes you really feel how the show was made for a specific kind of people by that exact same specific kind of people. I talk about SJW's or "the new goths" as I like to call them, and it's really ironic, at least to me, how this show tries to teach self betterment (check out how I say "tries") to a demographic that doesn't seem to want to improve themselves.
And even with that strong opinion I choose to like the show, I think it's good with the aesthetics and talking about emotions, despite the narrative.
Spinel: After everything I did you couldn't possibly want me around now
Lapis: Don't be so hard on yourself. You were alone for a long time and were understandably upset
Spinel: Steven tried to help me but all I did was lash out at him
Lapis: You weren't that bad
Spinel: I beat up his friends
Lapis: They needed the workout anyway
Spinel: I destroyed his dad's arm
Lapis: That was an accident. And Steven healed it so who cares?
Spinel: I almost wiped out all life on the planet.
Lapis: Well how was I supposed to know the ocean was that important!!!
Spinel: What?
My favorite detail:
When Spinel is her "Default Self", she has Mickey Mouse style pigtails.
BUT, when she turns into her villain self, her pigtails are longer. Like rabbit ears.
Like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the forgotten Walt Disney icon and toon.
Paradox The Pro omg whatttt??!!? that’s nutty

AAAA FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES THE CONNECTION
@Flávia well it fits pretty well with the whole classic western animation style and motif even if it's only a coincidence
*I can’t believe mom did that to you...*
*Actually, I do believe that-*
Well its obvious youve already seen the movie...
I think this line really was the heaviest
yeah that line was simple but heavy, showing how despite accepting that Pink was a not so great person Steven is still hurt sometimes by the fact that his mom did some terrible things

MC mOcHi mOcHi Not really. He has his mom’s gem, but he’s his own person. In fact, he’s almost the complete opposite of his mom.
When spinel said “Why do I want to hurt you..? I just want to be your friend” I lowkey just sobbed.

It hurt so much that it reminded me of a saying, "Why won't you hate me, it will only get worse and worse to lose someone like you who cares"

Why is it always the older comments that make me laugh on these types of videos
Well to be fair, both the Diamonds and Spinel are trying to get over the loss of Pink Diamond. So they can learn to move on together.
the only problem i found with the relation between spinel and the diamonds is that, wouldn't they ignore spinel every time steven visits them? that would really quickly lead to spinel thinking that she is just a temporary fix to the diamonds ambition of spending time with steven and thus making spinel collapse again.
ps: that would make for a great movie two if also another gem convinced spinel and others to thinks the worst of themselves thus making them their worst version.
@@rocstac Actually I thought Spinel would help them realize what cruelty does to other people.
@@rocstac shoulda had at least one scene with spinel
During the ending timeskip.
Though I thought it was a sorta cheap way to get this over with,
I honestly hope the relationship goes realistically instead of smoothy or rocky.
Those ups and downs and what not
Lewis Patton
Exactly! And she’s happy to just being people’s friend and entertain them.
Then they can be independent together
I think Spinel's adoption is a positive, and my primary reason is how the diamonds interacted with the story of the movie. Their song largely begins and ends the story, and the difference in context between those two instances is the key in my opinion. In the first singing, they are directing their message to Steven, and it's not a good fit. The diamonds need someone to help them process their lingering grief, someone that will help them grow from their broken family square, one point of which will never return, and find a new dynamic that they can found their identities on, a healthier dynamic. Steven is the literal remains of Pink, but he's also his own person, with his own established formation of relationships, a series of connections just like the diamonds once had, that doesn't include them. That emotional unavailability is the main reason that they could never find a new equilibrium with him.
Spinel, on the other hand, resembles Pink in many ways, but lacks any connections to speak of. She is alone and adrift, and though the movie spends most of the runtime exploring how terrible that was, the tragedy of her tieless existence, the ending reveals that it has also made her the missing piece of the diamonds' puzzle. This is symbolized by the diamonds' song the second time around. Every lyric that was negative for Steven and his situation is positive for Spinel's, implying that she is the person they needed, and they the home that she did.
Spinel: "I just want to be a friend..."
Ad: *"THE HEARTY HERO OUR FOLKS DESERVE..."*
Well, her Gem *IS* shaped like a heart
That voice crack when Spinel said that she just wanted to be his friend hurt me and I'll think about it seven years from now randomly at 3 am
i seriously just listened to Drift away (keep in mind i know only the gist of this show), and now im gonna watch the movie JUST for Spinel.
I almost cried when I heard it for the 8th time. That stings.
That happens to me a lot. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and remember the stupidest things.

I was diagnosed with bpd 6 years ago and she is the perfect embodiment and I'm honestly happy to finally have a character that really speaks to me and shows my friends that I'm not a bad person I just have gone through some bad things. I adore this character more than I can even say and I never thought even once that I actually like her as much as I like Lapis. I don't think Blues Powers would affect me because I have gone through way worse and came out strong on the other end and that's what spinel will do and I'm sure of it.
Spinel's Gem form, and character alteration
reminds me alot of the Tarot Card, Chariot.
Normally The card carries meaning of Postive Energy, to overcome all conflict with sheer willpower and determination in order to reach their goal.
But Chariot Card carries a unique trait for when the card flips, "The Chariot", carries a new meaning.
"Reversed Chariot" loses all sense of direction for what their purpose in life was, and goes as far to becomes heavily influenced with self Doubt.
A chariot that can only move forward but never backward. Huh.

Thanks to my biological mother, I have a shirt that says that! XD
It's hella depressing when you realize throughout the entire show, Spinel was still in space.
Waiting in the Garden like Pink told her, waiting for 6000 years, and just waiting for Pink. Only to realize she was left behind, waiting and waiting for her best friend to never come back.
Now that's a thought to keep when you rewatch the series.
@Jordan D damn
@Jordan d oh I knew she got one
@Jordan d Bit late but doesn't it show that she was granted a colony *WHILE* Spinel was there?
While reading this comment, I realized something.
We know Rose was a Diamond, right? And that every gem must follow her orders, whether they know she is a diamond or not, right? Well, when Steven made the announcement and had spinel find out about pink's death, spinel then went against pink's orders. She moved from her spot even when pink didn't come back. She went against the order of a diamond, HER diamond. You'll be in charge of the conclusion.
@@spinedotlazuli1120k Gems CAN go against diamonds orders (just look at Peridot) but most don't due to fear of getting shattered

Another thing some may have not noticed : Spinel self harms. In the song "Change" (or whatever it's called) she punches herself on the had while pulling her hair. That's self harm. When I was reminded of my bad memories or tried to not feel sad I used to do that. (punch myself;pull my hair;scratch myself) I thankfully stopped with the help of my friends and family.
Edit : The songs name is Change
one question to add here: Did spinel commit suicide in between? You know,... because it seems that she somehow changed her appearence/form from the lovely, wubby dubby form to her recent one with messy hair and her run down "make up", to complete her appearence as someone who suffers from depression
@@askneldiven2177 huh confusion
@@askneldiven2177 that makes sense too tho..
@@askneldiven2177 Rebecca Sugar confirmed at a book signing that Gems can poof from extreme emotions. Spinel most likely realized what pink had done, felt extremely sad/mad, and poofed. She would have then reformed into the spinel with messy hair and her run-down "make up".

@@izzy1356 It could also just be directed at Steven only. When she said "I'm supposed to be you're friend" that was the time she realized she's been fighting Steven even though he was happy with her and did nothing wrong. When she said "I just wanna be your friend" she was so desperate of getting a friend that she wanted the first person who was kind to her and considerate of her feelings (Steven).

Spinal was in no way a villian. Just another victim of pink diamond's narcissism.
Literally
I agree
I wouldn't say narcissism but pink had sociopathic tendecies
I have to disagree all diamonds throw away gems that they are tired of or ones they just don't want to be around and because pink is a diamond she has that trait that has hurt a lot of gems/people. But think about it pink was just tired of having gems flock around her because of their purpose or because she's a diamond. Pink didn't even want to be a diamond also she wasn't too keen on having a purpose for herself or other gems. If you couldn't be a individual and write your own story pink didn't want you around because that would just remind her of homeworld . She has a right to specific company.
@@katepitts6735 yet it is all about her and no one else. That's pretty narcissistic. When you prioritize your own well being and only your own well being above others. She has that right but so do others and relationships are a two way street.

Meanwhile White is just stuck looking horrified lol
I LIKE THIS GEM *Shatters* ANOTHER!
I think Spinel really could've benefitted from talking to or spending time with Lapis. Both were alone for thousands of years and used by others. Lapis grew to depend on others knowing she doesn't have to be alone. Maybe she could teach Spinel how to be her own independent person/gem

What the gems represented during the movie
Amethyst: Personality
Pearl: Independense
Garnet: Truth
Steven: Change
Respectfully; look to the songs for the core of each gem, "No Matter What" in particular, because you are SO close.
Makes sense
Sooo basically what Spinel had missed out on for 6,000 years . . ; - ;
I thought Steven is happiness?
Since, pink diamond is the diamond in happiness and she gave birth to Steven and survived by her son?
So confused.
Spinel: Trust, friends and love
"I'm not crying your crying" was my entire mood during the movie
Straight up
I only feel like theres only one.. "cry worthy" moment in the movie, how do you cry at any other point?
@@videnoja6721 Me too and I pretty much kept it together until "Drift away" "True kind of love" and when Spinel broke down because "she wasn't Good enough"
True
STEG
If you think about it, spinel kind of saved the movie. When all the gems got reset no one knew what to do, but then spinel said something like “what if it’s like a puzzle? If you put all the peices together (something else)” and if she never accidentally lost control of the saw, ruby and sapphire wouldn’t of fused. If she also at the end-ish didn’t take garnet, she wouldn’t of reformed.
Spinel: **breathes*
Yellow: OHMYGOD **WHEEEZE* O H M Y G O D
Given that Spinel has the mindset of a child, it makes sense why she would be this way.
Symphonia30 I agree, sometimes she sounds like one
She has BPD but aight
Puzzlebox 101 true true
It’s true when kids don’t get attention they feel they have been thrown away or they are a nobody anymore
Yeah, and like a child they need attention 24/7. Something I know Steven is not able to give, but the Diamonds seems very willing to give Spinel that kind of attention that Steven doesn't want. Which I understand being around people like that can be a little suffocating, smothering, and just plain exhausting. Then again I'm an introvert so being around too many people for long periods of time can be exhausting to me. In the end Steven would probably only get irritated if Spinel was hanging around him way to much. I think the Diamonds would be able to handle her energy a lot better than Steven. It's terrible that Pink just left her there in that garden for freaking 6,000 absolutely no thought about Spinel whatsoever 😩!
White Diamond:"It's a pity that you bring out the worst in others."
White was right, but the pitiable part is that Pink never means to bring the worst out of people. It just happens with her due to a combination of low empathy and bad decisions.
@@lucasmartinez5703 She was ignorant to the fact that she was just as classist as White diamond believing that her royalty made her a much higher life form than others, even if she did one better than white and advocate free will. Which is philosophically called into question since she wasn't even a regular gem that revolted her pupose
Simple explanation for where Spinel got the injector and rejuvenator: when Yellow and Blue told Pink she could have a colony, they gave her the location of Earth and also the location of a space armory full of invasion equipment to take Earth with. Spinel was standing right there. What remains in that armory now is just the stuff that Pink would never use.
I would actually love Spinel to join Crystal gems because she is one of my favorite characters in Steven universe

good one, good one indeed
**snickers**
Spinel's heart-shaped gem is also symbolic. I right-side up heart means love, passion, and happiness. When she changes her form and her gem turns upside down, the gem represents tragedy and betrayal.
“When StevENNNNNNNNNNNNNN stay by his side.”

@Focux God you're a miserable bastard, aren't you?
Focux So, you’re just gonna copy paste this comment to prove your point? Wow...
Focux)) Hi! This is all untrue and biased.
Focux No, I don’t have anything to refute you with. I just find it silly to copy paste the same comment just to prove a point. It’s repetitive.
Spinel(the actual stone): It is good to use when you want to get rid of your stress or negative feelings.
It makes sense
Yeah I was thinking the same too since I'm into crystal healing and stuff.
Reb Sugar simply planned everything perfectly well💛
I didn't really buy into that whole gem healing thing until somewhat recently. I bought a necklace with a lapis lazuli pendant mostly because I just like Lapis the SU character and I noticed soon after that I had become more intuitive, articulate and creative so on a lark I looked up the properties of lapis and it is said to help with mental clarity and creativity. On a side note I previously bought a rose quartz pendant because the seller told me it would help with my abysmal love life and I (at the time) liked the SU character so I figured why not? But given what we now know of her I'm thinking of getting rid of it.
@@MysteriumArcanum I was into gems before the show,my advice would be to get a gem that you feel connected to
@@alishahines92 Even before I learned what I did about lapis I just instantly felt right when I put it around my neck; like a thick fog had cleared from my mind. I also learned that lapis is associated with nobility (specifically French) and I'm 1/4 French with connections to a knight who fought in the service of William The Conqueror.
Heh- I knew Spinel's actions seemed a bit too familiar... I was recently diagnosed with BPD, so I totally get the sheer intensity of her feelings and difficulty with self-regulation... The inappropriate, unbridled rage followed by overwhelming shame... I also know how hard it can be when you're trying to be better, but you're stuck with people who know all about your past actions...
It's a weird experience...
I’m not ashamed to say I cried for about 20 minutes over spinel’s backstory
"Let's go in the garden. You'll find something waiting, right there where you left it..."
Everything stays... Right where you abandoned it...

Bro I just listened to that whole ass song, rebecca wrote it. that had to have been intentional.
When I watched this video Spinel was like: "I just wanna be a friend!" Happy Spinel: "Ok whatever.." Ad pops up
LMAO (yes I am reacting to myself
People say that it doesnt make sense that peridot doesnt know what a rejuvnator is but bismuth does.
However, bismuth is an era 1 gem, and peri is and era 2 gem, so if you think about that it makes sense.
Also pink mightve showed spinel the poison capable of finishing off a planet, and maybe thats how she got it.
narrator: Her physically remaining stagnant for years also reminds us of Steven Universe's biggest theme.
Me: Hiatuses?
Narrator: changing
Wyatt Booth I did a bunch of math and figured out that without hiatuses, the series would’ve taken 3 years
my thoughts exactly
This really needs more likes
hA
sorry.. I'm SCREAMING
Pink after getting her colony: *looks at spinel*
"I don't want to play with this anymore"
Edit: XD omg the most likes I've ever gotten was like 500 thx so much for the likes
@@SorenAoiMeWolf i know right
Was she some sort of toy creature? I don't understand yet if they really got her only as a toy or how they treated her in the first place, but I like Spinel.
Spinel: You took everything from me!
Stephen: I don't even know who you are...
Hard to remember she's older than the Egyptian empire which is "only" 5000 years old
PINK DIAMONDS COMING!
I love all the Steven Universe video essays on this channel. But, more importantly for me, the first time I watched this film, I started sobbing during the "Drift Away" sequence and couldn't stop to the point where I had to walk away from the film. I wasn't able to figure out exactly why this part of the film and Spinel's character as a whole had such a strong effect on me (even though her character's arc is very tragic). Until watching this video. I have diagnosed BPD. Thanks for helping me piece it together.
Spinel: I just wanna be your friend
Me: * sobs*
I love how Connie is just at
Space Camp for almost the whole movie
@Focux Ok, we get it.
I understand you have an opinion like everyone else, and you do have some great points on the show and this movie, but right now you're contradicting everything you make by going around to every section and typing this.
@Focux Maybe if you typed this essay in one section, I would have thought "Huh, this is pretty neat, this makes me think of the series in a different way to make me slightly respect it more, and realize it's problems I couldn't see."
But now I'm thinking "Huh, this is pretty neat... too bad this person isn't very nice, so this essay isn't really making an impact on me."
She probably died
Wasted Hacker ok
I was hoping for Stevonnie to appear in the movie but to no avail.
Peridot: I touched that thing! I could have lost all my character development.
Me: *snickers*
Edit: Omg! Thanks for all the likes 😊😊 😊
*The 4th wall has broke once more*
Peridot is just the best and I love her
I actually snorted XD
Angela Myth *laughs in fourth wall*
I burst into laughter when she broke the fourth wall.
I haven't even seen the movie but when you showed the clip of Spinel asking herself why she was hurting steven i cried thats so gosh darn relatable its so hard to control my emotions and to just control anything i want to do. its so hard to be in control of myself that i end up controling others. I already love spinel im so excited to see the movie
I just realized if you play "When Somebody Loves You" from Toy Story 2 over Spinels backstory, you create the objectively saddest story in existence...
Someone help me.

@Ignacio72 It's reference to a song that Marceline (a character from Adventure Time) sings, but it also almost *exactly* describes Spinels backstory.
And Rebecca sugar wrote it
Thank you someone else GETS ITT
AAAAHHHHHHH
DONT HURT ME LIKE THAT
Spinel was so well written. Such a sad and tragic existence... and man, I thou Pearl was wrecked bad by Pink.
The fact that they dont mention or show pink pearl pisses me off
That Banana I thought that white diamonds pearl was pink pearl before
@@randomuser3441 before white diamond pearl was our pearl then she switched it to pink diamond pearl
@@TrexDrake That isnt really canon. Joe Johnston confirmed that our Pearl was specifically made for Pink Diamond.
Both pearls originally served Pink Diamond, however pink pearl was taken away, later to be reaplaced by our pearl.
That Banana I was telling u how we technically saw previous pink pearl . I knew that our pearl was switched to be with pink diamond.
I wouldn’t say Spinel was a villain I would use say she was just a *victim* of pinks bullshit 😗
2:37 wow thanks now everyone knows my favourite cartoons
It’s all fun and games until the Diamonds get bored with Spinel
I mean time is meaningless to them so itll probably take a while. They are emotionally distant though so that is coming eventually
The Diamonds: "Ok lets put spinel on earth now"
Kick her out
@@zonedout6432 Yeah and Spinel is another "treasure" that was from Pink Diamond. In the beginning the diamonds want steven to live with them because he reminds them of Pink. So why not take Pinks playmate and pour your love into them.
well the diamonds are more assertive than pink ever was so instead of abandoning her like pink did they'll prolly just ignore her and if she retaliates, they can always poof her... oh NVM I forgot they "changed" 😒
Btw I just noticed that Spinel's black stripes on her cheeks become longer and thicker as she feels worse and shorter and thinner in the end as she feels better...I think.
Leonardo De Vivo
Did they? I never noticed
😯 I just noticed I think you may be right
I'm not hating but.,if you look at the thumbnail...maybe you'll think twice😂
Same with her pigtails. And I don't think it's error. I think it was intentional.
3:36 I thought my phone broke 😂
Sarah Stiles deserves all the awards.
5:12 "Spinel misreads the situation"
To be fair, Steven wasn't exactly thinking about what he was saying at that point
Yeah, just like. "Well, yeaaahh, we did need you to do this, but like, not _just_ that? I think?"
*sigh*
Hello mrterminator I guess I'm your dog
Yeah, he should've made sure to reassure her that everything was fine and that she was included and cared for. While spouting all that afterwards about fixing garnet he could've dropped an offhanded "Wanna help?" And that would've made all the difference. I mean the way she was phrasing things like, "Was that all you wanted from me" he should've picked up on the blatant insecurity and been like, "no-no-no, I did need you to do that, but I still wanna spend some time with you. I have to fix Garnet, but there's no reason you can't hang out with us while I do that and even help."
Spinel , hows the new house
Pink is like a dad, she left to get milk and never came back.
Or a mom who neglects her child when they just want to play.
@@soldier8424 ew that's poop I like African dad more
Like Nelson's Dad from the Simpsons lol
Like Richard Waterson's dad
I'm Hungry Both yes and no.
I love Spinel. She is one of my birthstones. I just want her in the series that's all.
I feel like spinel going back is a good thing, spinel clearly lives entertaining others, getting to do something she loved, but a new place. Sometimes people are encouraged to do the thing that made them happy as a way of treatment. Like for depression you used to love drawing, well taking the time to draw again so you feel the happiness of before can be soothing. In my opinion anyway
SPINEL MADE ME CRY WHEN SHE SAID I JUST WANT TO BE A FRIEND 😔😢
And when she transformed back to her old self and she was following Steven back to the house.. what did she say?
Me too
6:37
spinel made me cry *3* times
jaquan imvu Channel that’s the same thing i want 😔
