- She’s the mysterious final Diamond we meet in the series, and is the supreme ruler of the Gem race. It’s time to talk about the oldest and most powerful Diamond in the verse. Let’s go through who she is, her powers, and what actual diamonds are like to see if they factored into her conception. I’m Kris Carr, and today I’m talking to you about White Diamond from Steven Universe.

Rebecca Sugar said White didn't have an actual sense of identity. She believed she is just the default pure white light and thought everyone else was her in a sense, which is why she wanted to remove flaws and thought she can forcefully override others. For her they were all the same. It seems like White is the first Gem and the creator of the rest (though we don't know who created HER), so maybe the Gemkind was originally created in her attempt to remove her own flaws? Her fragile sense of identity could be related to whatever's happening to her in the Future's opening.
Sounds BPD to me

my headcanon is that white existed since the beginning of time and made more gems like her, eventually creating the Gempire.

Bro ofc she is an narcissist she literally lives IN HER HEAD

I love how the Three Diamonds represent 3 types of abuse.
Yellow is the physical, Blue is the emotional, and White is the psychological one.
For me, Abuse of any kind is the third of the WORST CRIMES of humanity
Veronica Piccinini so is Pink supposed to be sexual abuse?
Taylor Slade no. Sugar is not at the part of representing someone as a metaphor of sexual abuse, yet. Secondly, I’ll put it as the second of the Unforgivable Crimes of humanity.
Veronica Piccinini They touched on sexual abuse/lack of consent with Pearl tricking Garnet into fusing with her.
I’m not entirely happy with how the whole thing was settled, in that once they were finally able to talk through things, everything was back to “normal.”
Jaq Neebe
No sexual abuse and consent weren’t the purpose of Sardonyx. The Crew said several times it was about how people can do bad things to people they believe they don’t matter enough to, to hurt. Consent was touched with Malachite and it wasn’t even sexual consent more than it consent in general.

This made me laugh more than it should have 😂😂😂
I like how all of the Diamond's special aura powers seem to be connected to gemkind. Steven is the exception, but when isn't he? Blue and Yellow can have also physical effects when concentrating their auras, and White has probably no effect on any organic being, since she needs to hit a grmstone.
cramer floro, Steven had used his diamond aura.
@@mistyrain8079 yes, but his astroprojection also works on organic lifeforms (I mean, I THINK that's done by his Aura powers, but I could be wrong)
There's also another thing, White is actually like a mix of all colors that exist, meaning that any color is under White Dimanond domain.
The kicker? Colors like magenta and pink don't actually exist, it just something that your mind imagines. Meaning that pink is not under White Diamond domain.
This is why White Diamond turning pink makes her off-color, she is literally having a color she can't possibly have.
"After all, I am every color of the light, but you are a part of me, the part I always have to repress"
gemstone*
I remember reading this very interesting comment about White from Rebecca Sugar. Something a long the lines of how she views herself as the default of all gems, and that all gems are a lesser distillation of her. So in a sense, before the events of Change Your Mind, White really had no sense of self.
Especially that her gem color is white which is all the colors of light into one, every single gem is a part of her because all there bodies are made out of light, “ I’m every color of the light, but your a part of me, the part I always have to repress”
Anthony Troiano
Yeah, the lack of identity (and therefore of individuality) is a recurring theme in Gems. It explains Homeworld Gems’ urge to conform and to repress difference. On an other hand, we could consider Gems like dispensable tools (at least that’s how they view each other) which is once again explained by their lack of individuality, which could explain why shattering and killing seemed like no big deal to them (except when it happened to a Diamond who, despite White’s temper, are given more freedom to be themselves and to love/be loved “The Diamonds unique in their flawlessness”)
M0M0 yeah especially that every gem was given a purpose and Gem’s are like computers, there mass produced to serve a function like pearls, Ruby’s and quartz’s soldiers
Rudy Barrientos
Totally
White Diamond’s worst enemy has to be herself, imagine spending thousands of years in your own head believing everything you say is final, until one day you start doubting yourself. I thought her idea of perfect was twisted but I doubt she thought of herself as cruel or enjoyed the suffering of others, after Steven freed her from herself she seemed genuinely happy to turn over a new leaf and figure out what’s considered morally right and wrong. Redeemed White’s socially awkward behaviour is also her questioning whether what she’s doing is on the right track, and maybe some guilt as she probably regrets the harm she was causing for others. (I mainly guessed that from that awkward hug she gave in her final scene)
I know she was the scariest character on the show until she was “redeemed”.
Redeemed is used loosely here
She wasn't redeemed
@@elitekanji3794 Nor is she a threat to Steven
They just rushed her redemption, even peridot took half a season. I guess lapis took a couple seasons, I still think she’s over rated I don’t think she a good gem tho imo. Jasper story is so long and not rushed she’s still a villain even tho gem kind is liberated. That’s why she’s the best villain.
CYM wasn't full redemption. That was just the first step in the process.
I see how the most broken she is out of the diamonds, because she is a perfectionists that has high standards because she's worried that she isn't good enough for everyone else: even for the rules, people close to her and herself. I always see her being the worry of the diamonds.
I think all the Diamonds have some sort of mental health disorder. Blue clearly suffers from Depression, it's basically her main trait. Hell, her powers cause others to burst into tears, not unlike sudden drops in emotions.
Yellow is suffering from anger issues, possibly Bipolar Disorder. Her tendency to suddenly flip from calm to unyielding rage is very much like a bipolar drop.
White, as was mentioned in this video, likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
And finally Pink, or more specifically Steven. Steven has PTSD. Not surprisingly, considering he nearly died basically every other episode of the show.
But I'd actually like to mention other gems, in particular, everybody's favourite dorito, Peridot.
I personally believe Peridot may suffer from an attachment Disorder. I think this because of three distinct events.
1) Peri's dependency on her limb enhancers. When she reforms, she's extremely despondent to the loss of her limb enhancers, continuing to lock herself in Steven's bathroom even after she was given the okay to move around the house freely.
2) Her dependency on her tablet. She grew so attached to the device that when Amethyst tossed it towards the ocean, the mere thought of losing it caused Peridot to unlock her ferrokinesis.
3) Her attachment to Lapis and how depressed and angry she got whenever Lapis pushed her away (Seehere: the moment Lapis crushed Peri's tape recorder, another object of emotional importance to our dear lime flavoured dorito), and worse of all, when Lapis took the barn and straight up abandoned Peridot.
(Edit: Removed a rather foolish and insensitive “connection” between Peridot’s attachment disorder and her AroAce identity)
Yeah. Thats... yeesh
How does peridot being aroace relate to an attachment disorder?
@@federicotorresani9117 some Aro Ace people are Aro Ace because they *can’t* form attachments with people. Not all, but some. Peri would fit that category.
@@dancingcarapaceYeah I know, but from what you said peridot seems to be too attached to things? Like with the tablet and the limb enhancers. Although imo that’s just because she was stranded on an unknown planet with no allies, and to her the limbs enhancers were the only thing that made her strong, and the tablet became the next thing to fill out that space. With lapis that just seemed like an appropriate response since they had a strong bond
@@federicotorresani9117 attachment issues don’t mean can’t be attached to anything, like o said, Peridot becomes overly attached to her devices.
Anyone else scared shitless by White in Change Your Mind?
Yea. Me.
Kind of. I felt physically sick after she took Stevens gem, too. I felt dizzy and like I was going to vomit. I've never felt like that from watching something before
Nope
i cringed when she took steven gem 😭
Yes
6:24 Kris Karr: I'm no psychologist
*Shows picture of a lawyer*
Me: and the point of that was to...?
LMAO
Seeing how Blue Zircon's hypothesis on Steven's/Rose Quartz' case, and her ability to deduct stuff, seeing her as a psychologist isn't a bad idea. Plus, she easily panics, which is cute, and _please Rebecca give us more of the Zircons we've seen them for one episode-_
Some abuse cases can be either civil or criminal. Like with Johnny Depp and Amber Turd.

What happens when you try to pick up White Diamond at a bar:
WD: "it's cute how you think you're good at negging."
So this may just be me, being not the best at understanding English. Or your joke fell flat.
No matter what, I need an explanation
@@D0VEGUM negging is a thing used by pick up artists where you give the one you are trying to pick up lots of compliments which our actually insults to break down their self-esteem.
In my example someone tried this on White Diamond and she responded by negging their negging abilities.
@@tyrant-den884 Thx for explanation, it's really good joke!
I'd respond with "I also think it's cute how you view yourself as high as my friend in the back. You're barely on the top compared God and his son, Jesus. And as as for your usefulness to me, this white crayon speaks for itself.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 that gets you a cheek pinch.
“If every pork chop we’re perfect,we wouldn’t have hotdogs”
-Steven
Its actually Greg Universes quote
I believe that White diamond was created with the planet when that solar system was formed, as white grew she learned her unique powers and found out she had 3 lights that made her. Which was Yellow Cyan Magenta which makes White. She possibly used those lights in her gem to create the other diamonds and also use her advanced technology in the gems she made and gave them a purpose and use the lights to create the diamond. Then those diamonds started making other gems while she was giving them a purpose
The pink flaw was just a sign that she was connecting with pink, the same thing would happen with other diamonds too
White diamond is amazing, but her head looks like a white sun with a face lol
Like sunstone
like teletubbie sun baby
You meant-
*White lamp ;)*
I actually have adelaphobia and I didn’t realize it. I can relate to her the
most
I do too. It sucks, doesn’t it. Making sure your always perfect. Making sure everything’s always perfect.
I'm basically a fusion of all 4 diamonds somehow?
@@silentservant_ ocd doesn’t mean that you’re a perfectionist
Hey don't insult WD by comparing her to Snoke. At least she's got character :3
Jake Bryant Exactly!!!! She’s more like emperor Palpatine.
She’s a bad character in my opinion since she barely got time to develop and she was way better as a villain
That’s just me though..
I like emperor Palpatine
That's probably why I like white diamond
Tagomi San, that’s probably why I like white diamond too!!!!
Ricky Archuleta III, Thats a bad thought.
White Diamond is one of my favourite characters in SU and SUF. Really wish we got to see more of the Diamonds, ideally after the movie or even before with OG Pink, as I have a theory that Pink was exaggerating how bad they were since that’s what kids do a lot 😱
Even though she doesn't mind control people anymore, White Diamond still don't play
So WD is a big time executive officer at a Fortune 500 company who doesn’t have time for her yellow, blue or pink children confirmed
It’s not because emotions that she thought was inferior she throughly she was flawed because she thought she was right about pink diamond was still here like pearl did when they were hanging out with baby Steven but like pink Steven said “SHE’S GONE!!!” when white found out she wasn’t right and was roasted by Steven after she threw a tantrum
When white mind controls other gem it’s called bleaching which takes color from gems
Unpopular opinion: I love White diamonds
Reason why: I’m into villains and the more evil they are the more they my favorite. White diamond give me old time mother vibe. She like the mother who trauma her kids and mind control her children this cause her children more like her . White diamond also give me the vibe of the mother of TANGLED . Both showing love to they “ children “ to make them do what they want and hurt people who get in the way .
Analysis of white: white is the first diamond that we hear so she want to look perfect to show she can handle everything. It’s like a mother that have to be perfect for they kids but by doing that they traumatized them. White also that villain who work her high point. She work hard to show that she more powerful then everyone . Real life white diamond is a rare thing to get and you mostly get it for your love ones. So it’s amazing seeing the she abuse you mentally by showing you love so you won’t fight back when she ask you for something
This is all my opinion.
I share this same opinion.
Me too
That moment when you realize you have Atelophobia:
" But I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to BE better! "
"You can. All you need to do is put yourself in a wooden box to float down a river."
I don’t know if it’s fair to call White a narcissist. After Pink Steven brought her to her knees (literally), she admitted she was wrong, and her response to seeing Centipeedle was pure empathy. She had simply learned to distance bottle her emotions, not horribly uncommon after an emotional loss (Pink). Steven’s breakthrough put an end to that behavior.
White mentallly shut down after Pinks so called shattering, makes sense
Psych2Go explains narcissism better than I can, but long story short, White Diamond shows ALL THE SIGNS of narcissism.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 That could be due to her atelophobia and the fact that she lives in her own head (both figuratively and literally). Because of her fears of imperfection, she does everything in her power to have everyone and everything conform to a strict and proper standard of being. To her, she desires everything to be stable, rational, beautiful, and flawless. This in turn has her believe such methods as being correct, thus making her believe her ideas and decisions are solely the correct way. This is why she doesn't believe in the identity of others. And it's not because she believes every gem is an extension of herself persay, but moreso the standards of perfection she places upon herself. It's why she doesn't believe she has an identity of her own outside of those standards, and why she'd ignore or overrule anyone who doesn't meet them.
In terms of her having a narcissistic personality disorder though, you're not wrong, she has those traits. From what I could gather though, narcissism isn't very simple, it's actually rather complicated. Most people who have it aren't always malicious. Their actions might say otherwise, but they geniunely believe they're doing or saying the right thing. White Diamond isn't doing what she's doing because she wants to hurt people, but moreso because she geniunely believes she's helping others. The traits that apply to her seeming arrogant largely stems from what I mentioned earlier in the first paragraph about her sense of perfection, especially when it comes to portraying herself that way. In addition, the manner in which she talks down to others could be due to her perceiving them as not knowing any better, and so she has to be the one to "correct" them.
@@2gredvisions8560 I see your point, but what Steven Universe has taught me is that the feelings of the victims matter more than the perpetrators, as seen in Volleyball. To me, it unintentionally sends a bad message about hating the ones who hurt you, even though no one said to actually do that.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 Don't worry, I get that 😅. I was mostly trying to clarify why White is the way that she is and why she's considered narcissistic. In terms of what you mentioned of the theme, Steven Universe is all about feeling for the victims of whatever abuse is brought onto them. Obviously the point is to resolve/ fix such matters so that they could be amended, and have those people responsible to be held accountable. In terms of White Diamond, the point of even meeting her for Steven is to have her fix what she and the other Diamonds had done to the corrupted Gems found on Earth. Many Gems experienced lots of bad things because of White Diamond's standards, so it was best for Steven to have White Diamond break (mentally speaking) so that things could change for the better. In SUF, the Diamonds are even shown continuing with fixing all their wrongdoings, which is obviously going to take a long time to do.
It's probably too late for Pink to atone for her actions given that she gave up her existence to have Steven. But it's likely she would've been the most willing to ammend her mistakes due to the lessons she's learned while spending time on Earth, especially after the Gem War. Aside from her not wanting to return back to her life as a Diamond, due to how delicate and dangerous the remaining Crystal Gem's position was after the war, it was probably impossible for her to fix the things she's done to both Volleyball and Spinel.
My best guess as to why no Gem has gone out of their way to air out their grievances toward the Diamonds could be do to them not knowing how to. This of course could be mostly attributed to how Homeworld culture was like, as the concepts of morality that's customary on Earth isn't entirely understood by Gems. Plus, they've always viewed the Diamonds as something akin to dieties, which is why it's probably new for them to hold them accountable for their actions. Just look at how Peridot felt and reacted after incredibly talking back to Yellow 😂. The reason why Gems even found the incentive to rebel against the Diamonds back during the Gem War was mostly due to Pink as Rose Quartz inspiring and encouraging them to do so.
White diamond been listening to Beyoncé flawless on repeat

FINALLY WHITE DIAMOND, now we just need the diamond that started Steven Universe, GOOD OL PINK DIAMOND
Once you get to Pink Diamond, keep in mind the IRL source of pink coloring in a diamond. Pink is NOT caused by inclusions, but rather, molecular voids resulting from defects in the diamond's crystal lattice. Now, White said the source of her control was the removal of impurities, yet, her aura ray was completely unable to reach Pink Steven. That would make sense if Pink Diamond had no impurities to remove. This may also be a metaphor for one of the show's most important morals: LGBT people are fine just as they are; they don't need to be fixed.
I filmed this last week and talk about the molecules! ^This is a great take on it!!!
The only problem with White is that the Crewniverse didn’t had much time to write for her more
See white diamond is a gaslighting gems
I think they call more higher status gems "your clarity" because they are more valuable like a sapphire or a diamond 💎.
Unpopular opinion:
The crew had a fabulous character, someone who could be a real threat. Someone who could possibly be used to show that some people can’t change. That the only way is to fight. But no! Instead the redeem her in one episode, then she was defeated by becoming pink? What an idea.

*HaI sTaRlIgHt*
I adore the way Rebecca and the crewniverse has handled the diamonds as villains, it’s so easy and only seems to get easier to just classify someone as just plain evil even when we consciously know it’s more complicated than that. Just look at how quickly some people in our celebrity culture get put into the good or evil category without much thought.
Remember that period of time when people felt justified in harassing Britney Spears into mental breakdowns because she was an “out of touch overly sexualized druggie alchoholic pop star”? Or how about reconciling people who have done gods awful things like Jim Jones and how before the cult he was known as someone who fought passionately for civil rights. Or John Wayne Gacy who loved to entertain children dressed as a clown. These things by far do not make up for the horrible things they did, but it does remind you how people are complicated and often not as one demential as let’s say, our picture of Stalin. Heck, there’s still a lot of people arguing whether or not Rasputin was evil or just a guy who got the short end of the stick.
A lot of people like to compare the shows philosophy with the comic making fun of it with Hitler and Steven saying, “it’s ok, he says he’s sorry”. Which aside from being reductionist to the whole show and is an easy strawman for bad faith criticisms, is under valued. I sadly always forget his name, but there was a famous black jazz musician who collected KKK hoods, of members he basically convinced to resign, including high wizards. He did this by just having a drink and talking with them, often finding they had no personal experience with black people so they got a whole lot of misinformation. He was highly successful at this.
And sadly, we’re seeing this still and it being hard still with people doubling down on negative traits because they’re afraid of things like, being ostracized by their friends and family, hurting their own self image and perception, being taken advantage of, being left behind by the system or ever changing times, etc. Rebecca said that the message she hoped people took from the movie was “that it’s ok to be a work in progress” and I hope by the time I’m 80, that will have stuck.

Clarification is that Diamonds aren't and have never been rare the brewer brothers bought up rights to pretty much all diamonds and control how much are given to jewlers.
Does anyone find it interesting how even White has a soft spot for Pink? Like, just WHY? I get that Pink is a very fun and adorable characters I imagine, especially in her younger years, but why does all the Diamonds adore her so much, even White Diamond, to the point that Yellow even gets slightly bitter about it? Pink/Steven was the only one she allowed in her Head upon coming to Homeworld, she didn't immediately use her mind powers on Pink/Steven, and she even has a pet name for Pink/Steven.

I don’t think anyone realizes that White Diamond’s design is a combination of all the other diamond’s outfits put together into one.

Sneople, I guess (there's a legit reason why that could actually be the case). They never touched on the origin of gems nor those of the Great Diamond Authority. Would be interesting to know more about that.

I was waiting for the Aries comparison, as we're hotheaded and stubborn and tend to act without thinking about others. As both an Aries and someone with NPD, I relate to White Diamond almost too much.
*HELLO STARLIGHT*
Dad jokes Inc. AAAAAAAAAAA
That “You dare raise your shield against me?!” was so anime
Can you do pink diamond or a.k.a rose quartz?
It's disgraceful how badly they wasted such an original, disturbing and unsettling villain
I think we all drew to conclusion, but were smart/gracious enough not to mention "him". Thank you.
Familiar.... Why this feels so familiar
1:27 I would say shard Shed
I think it's a testament to the writers skill that I never watched the show beyond clips and reviews yet the second I saw her I instantly knew "abusive mom".
I don't really think people should have empathy or ally with White Diamond. I knew someone who was just like her. These personality types make you feel less than human, like you're not a person worthy of respect and humanity. Dogs get more respect than you do. At first, characters like White Diamond seem tragic, but at some point the story gets old. They never really change...
While that is true, that doesn't mean people who have WD's problem can't be treated. People with NPD can't be cured from it obviously, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to have them better adapt with interacting with others. Or giving them some better clarity. However, they of course have to be willing to cooperate with such treatment, as it isn't an easy thing to do. Most often think they don't need treatment, which is usually the problem. Not sure how successful it is, but that's as far as I know about the issue 😅.
*I love how the diamond just T pose and white has been T posing for eons*
Honestly white dimond i feel you
She's basically the Winged Dragon of Raa of the Diamonds
She seems to be made in the image of the Greek Primordial Phanes (a.k.a Eros, Protogonus, Nous, Logos, the Demiurge, ect...) That's why she is pure white light and why she's seemingly able to read other gems' minds and take control of them. Not to mention that she may very well be the progenitor of all other gems making her the first gem as well as the architect of gem society. That's why she has Hellenistic influence in her design and why she believed that she's all of the gems and all of the gems are her.
Then I have Atelophobia, because when I have a minor imperfection [not funny to friends, not successful enough for my family (I’m 15 years old), and not being cool so people ignore me, because they do] I get scared that I might not be enough for anyone, and I might have depression, so yeah, I think I have depression
I needed to get it off my chest because I never tell anyone about this
Ya know, at first i hated the idea that white was so bland and stevens way of defeating her was rushed and out of nowhere. But, after moving out and discovering my mother started losing her cool when i wasnt under her roof and doing what she wanted, i was like OOOOHHHHH. NOW I GET IT! White is narcissistic and believes she knows best above all us and when called out on her shit or her flaws are pointed out she cant handle it and has horrid outbursts. Which is why everyone is probably terrified of her. Shes has all this power and is highly unpredictable.
Masters Candidate in Clinical Mental Health here, and....I actually don't have anything to add on narcissism 😅 But here is a comment anyway! Love your videos!
Taylor Gabbey thank you!
Sometimes we use gems in jewelry right? I just imagine the gems seeing one of those bracelets or necklaces 😂
AKA: Yertle the Turtle’s...uh...Current pet owner! Current, wether or not Steven had made White Diamond turn over a new leaf (It wasn’t as wierd to call the other two Diamonds Golden Frieza and Emperor Palpatine’s ex-wives).
White diamond is pretty much every strict mom ever in existence
Something intriguing is that white diamond knows what a child is, despite her apparently being on homeworld for eons, how would she even know what a child is? Unless shes had experience with biological life or she was watching a biological species for some reason?
When she turned pink it was probably her powers in reverse
Can you please make Pink? I want to her bad habit of “running away and leaving everything behind (her friends, her mess) and never looking back”
Steven tries to slam her head in a pillar
If white diamond radiated her power to control gems and make them perfect why didn’t she unfuse Garnet or did she want to focus on (nice scolding pink) wtw
Yeah, I think one of the first things she would have done is unfuse Ruby and Sapphire and maybe change the groups' Crystal Gems attires to something she deems more Homeworld appropiate, maybe even making Amethyst taller in the process. It's like Yellow, Blue and the rest of Gem society were more concerned with that than the actual figure from whom those beliefs stemed from.
