Is White withholding major secrets from the others Diamonds? THUMBNAIL ART BY ARTWITHKODA: artwithkoda.tumblr.com/ instagram.com/artwithkoda/ th-cam.com/channels/zNnvLLuJ7qhu1c9-_d5oKg.html
The other diamonds are in the loop, probably, as for the the crystal gems the diamonds probably either assumed Steven had gone thru his destructive phase or had a few years to go before he got there.
they will most likely realize the power thats overlapping him and try to do something, they prob knew pink possessed it and steven is starting to inherit and unlock it with no self control which they will assist in helping him keep it in control
Blue and Yellow will definitely be shocked because they were under White’s control and didn’t exactly see it, but since White has seen it, I think she’ll definitely do something about it.
I thought that once Pink realized the damage she caused her Pearl she decided to change her ways and explore other ways to manifest her power - leading her to realize she could heal
@@devalphamon7289 the gems in Steven universe are based off of real life gems, and Rose Quartzes are believed to be healing gems. As well as this, similar quartzes are shown to aid the humans in the zoo
@@Marigold11037 quartzes are fighters in steven universe, the famethyst in the zoo were originally intended to fight until the war ended with pink getting "shattered". The gems in steven universe have little to do with the spiritual aspects people assign to them irl, otherwise pearl and bismuth wouldnt be gems since they aren't actually gems.
"Are you are done?? Did you get it out of your system?" "You're what I have to repress" hearing these lines knowing what we know now about Pink is so wild
@@hellodolly7301 it's something that both destroys and creates. I guess it's something that deals with th...... Oh. oh fuck. What if the Diamonds are meant to be the 4 fundamental forces of nature? White= Gravity (would explain the light manipulation and with the gems being light-based creatures it would make sense for her to be the ruler) Blue= Weak Nuclear Force (she's here just to fit the quota) Yellow= Electromagnetic Force (lightning attacks) Pink = Strong nuclear force, which is described as having the shortest range and the most power on top of being capable of both attraction (healing) and repulsion (destructive power)
I think all diamonds can destroy and heal. Seeing as yellow said they've never tried to heal anyone or to reverse corruption before. Pink had to learn how to heal. She learned to be kinder after hurting volleyball. She was traumatized by what she did so she never wanted to destroy again. Hence why she doesn't shatter.
I think you are right. After all they were all needed to heal corruption. And you can't convince me that an angry Yellow or Blue couldn't cause MASSIVE damage, just like Pink. Also all the Diamonds having both powers would make a lot of sense, seeing as they create the other gems with their essence, both the fighting types and others.
It's kind of like how gemstones or colours can have multiple meanings White can mean purity, but also vulnurability Red can mean love but also violence It'd make sense for the gems to have both sides of their assigned colours-perhaps not all with the exact same powers, but similar ones
No Pink diamond was willing to shatter gems but when she saw Garnet's fusion she was happy. It was explained in the episode when pearl was talking to sapphire. Or was that she wanted to scare every gem off the planet? I don't know you gotta see.
Captain FluffyPaws if you think about it, Pink and White have the exact same gem shape, however, they’re in different body placements, with White’s gemstone being on her forehead, while Pink’s gemstone is upside down and on her navel.
*"Did you get everything out of your system?"* Makes a lot more sense now than it did before, at first I thought it was Pink pretending to be Rose-eh, White's case it's Steven but now this makes more sense and not just some statement that felt like it could've meant anything.
I'm pretty sure that, since WD seemed like the mother/leader of their hierarchy, and PD was like the youngest child, Pink and White were actually the closest compared to the other Diamonds. It's not like White would acknowledge Pink's feelings, but she'd still listen and allow Pink to be honest and get angry and release all of her frustrations compared to when she'd be with Yellow or Blue (i.e., she'd have to intentionally act less adequate to them, rather than a Diamond who, though still mentally incapable of managing a colony, had powers equal to White herself.
@@hellodolly7301 Safe to say from a observant point of view, we're learning more of this as we go. I originally thought Pink was the weakest and no not because of her height (which I hope will be explained somewhere) because of her at the time seem really limited ablities. Future is basically slapping everyone in the face with: *"Or so you thought you knew."* kinda quote.
@@hellodolly7301 Oh and another thing I know White's like the leader and all but her own self-absorb ways is what made her a terrible leader; Blue who is emotional to a fault and Yellow who is all about logical thinking even knew they had faults; wouldn't show them because I assume they didn't want to be look at like they're weak and unfit to order their respected court.
@@hiddenmoss3516 The point of size could in theory be explained through this idea. The concept that PD might actually be super powerful would lend to the idea she was overcooked. Like how Amethyst was overcooked and consequently has a really high-level gem weapon. And Amethyst is smaller than other gems like her.
Remember, nothing on Steven Universe 5th season was for nothing. Especially the Diamonds part. Heavy plot points are way too important by the end of the series to be "Just put that in the heat of the moment or at random" such was Bismuth gem on Lion's mane or the chest. xD
My theory, is that Pink Steven represents Pink Diamonds destructive power. Pink was often ignored and mistreated by the other Diamonds, which made her angry frustrated, and awakened her destructive powers. But when she matured and became Rose Quartz, she awakened her healing powers when she grew to love Earth, humans and other Gems. White Diamond may have known about Pink’s destructive powers, and constantly punished her to keep her from using those powers. Though her punishments may have only made things worse. The Diamonds didn’t seem to know about Pink’s ability to heal others, because Pink didn’t feel as though the other Diamonds loved her...so her healing powers did not awaken during that time. Now if Steven becomes angry or frustrated, his destructive powers awaken. That’s just my theory though.
I like this idea! Pink steven is raw, emotionless power which can manifest in whatever way it chooses to be However steven is human-loving, empathetic, kind, and so he uses that power to heal If his Pink side is coming through then he's probably using more of his destructive power
@Honey Cakes This. So many takes on Pink/Rose nowdays don't really acknowledge what abuse can do to a person. It can make you destructive and angry, it can take years to heal and find out what you can do for the better.
This makes so much sense because if y’all remember from “Legs from here to Homeworld”, after greeting Steven white states “Did you fun? *Did you get everything out of your system?*”. White Diamond not only knew about Pink’s powers but I feel that White actually encouraged her feats of strength.
IIRC, White implied that she created the other diamonds (including Pink) from herself. I have to wonder if the attributes of each Diamond also belonged to White before they were made. Perhaps in making Pink, White Diamond removed her own volatile temper and destructive power from herself because she saw them as a flaw. Could the enraged, pink-hued White Diamond from the antagonist panel be a flashback to before Pink was created?
This makes a lot of sense actually Since Blue and Yellow seem to be equal in their power and size, they may have been made together to balance each other out, leaving only White with her pink side. The reason Pink is so small is because White couldn't manage to completely remove her own "flaws", leading to her still having parts of pink inside her, therefore being off colour Another idea is that perhaps Pink is the most powerful diamond because all of her power is so concentrated within her tiny gem-self.
I actually think that Volleyball's eye is actually the reason that she was taken away and replaced by Spinel and Pearl. It was said in the show that it was an incident involving Pink Diamond that got Volleyball replaced, and what more obvious reason would it be than literally breaking a Pearl. White didn't want anyone to fear Pink Diamond because of this so she took control so no one would find out. She didn't lie, but she also didn't tell anyone why Volleyball's eye was broken, making everyone fear White as she was the person in control when they learned of Volleyball's eye problem
Oh and I love the "Pink broke homeworld" theory. Pink Diamonds are basically super compressed to the point of breaking the orderly crystal lattice structure and causing a graining that gives the gem its pink color, *hint hint*.
I mean that could work but i prefer how when a parent gets you a new phone they're like "okay now dont break this one." y'know? I like the parental vibe from the other diamonds lmfao
I still like Rose. As to what Mega Pearl said “One knew that you mother was always trying to change, but didn’t know why.” Pink before our pearl was angry and couldn’t keep a secret. Pink with our pearl kept secrets and was able to control her temper to an extent but also abandoned others. Rose when she just started to protect Earth was more calm but still kept her secrets most likely to protect her pearl and others. She also viewed Earthlings as entertaining instead of people but view them as important. She was most likely calm because she felt as if she had a purpose. Rose after meeting and talking to Greg became much more calm. She loved him and gained a better understanding towards humanity. Most likely why she was going to become part of Steven is so she could grow with him. She knew that who she was was not great and maybe wanted a new start where she could understand humanity and be empathetic. She would gain the most growth if she was human.
THEORY ALERT: What if every time Pink acted up before she had a colony, she was REBOOTED. This would explain why Pink didn’t remember Spinel. And her fits of rage being the same over and over, because she was never allowed to grow because she was always starting over again and again, much to white diamonds dismay and influence most likely. They’ve been making Pink Diamond out to be such a horrible person but I feel like with how much effort she put into wanting to change they’re gonna hit us with a curve ball to explain and probably excuse some of her bad stuff.
Yes.. but she would have just reset to the angry version of her, and she was given her colony while spinel was there. If they wanted to rejuvenate her, they would have done that and then given her the colony.
I doubt this. If I remember right, when Steven and the others are ambushed by Spinel, Pearl says "But it can't be..", likely meaning that Pink had told Pearl, showing that Pink probably forgot about Spinel naturally instead of rejuvenation.
It’s kinda crazy how each of the Diamonds demonstrate different destructive behaviors: Yellow ignores, and suppresses. Blue gaslights and guilt trips. White is passive aggressive, having a sick and weird way of... helping people to the point of stressing her out, and Pink, who physically abuses and runs away from her problems.
Hear me out, because my theory is slightly different. I think that Pink Diamond may be the result of White purging the rage from herself. I think the version of white diamond we see in the opening is from a flashback, when her temper was as bad enough to make Blue and Yellow as afraid as they were of her, and in one of her worst tantrums she split homeworld in half. After seeing what she'd done, she purged the rage from herself and used some of it to create pink diamond. Pink is the literal mirror of white putting on a facade and being full of rage in private: her tantrums, breaking her pearl, starting a war just to get her own way. Even White said "As for me, I'm certain I don't *need* you...But you're a part of me, the part I always have to repress". If I'm right that version of White Diamond from the opening will either be a flashback to OG White before Pink was created or somehow White will fail to repress her rage anymore. It's the same pink tint that steven gets with his new rage-based Pink powers.
What if the diamonds are all manifestations of white's insecurities, and white made the other diamonds, and the reason she thought she was perfect because she thought she purged all of her insecurities?
I find it funny but also sad because it was given as a way for our pearl to be catty with her and VB is too oblivious to notice she was being made fun of. so it feels a little mean to call her volleyball.
I personally have mixed feelings with the fact , that Pearl gets to go by Pearl, and "Volleyball" is the one who has to get a nickname. I mean hasn't she been through enough.
@@ElCactus7567 I think she was just in shock on seeing HW again. It's not too farfetch of an idea to think gem production and draining the planet of it's resources cracked the planet in two
I mean it would make sense but they immediately blamed WD for it being that way just like with Volleyball so kinda makes me think a lot of stuff that White was blamed for without actual witnesses is actually because of Pink. I’m also starting to think maybe White knew about Pink’s plan of being Rose Quartz seeing as how once they met and even when Steven landed she immediately welcomed him back with no explanation or surprise from her, not even anger unlike the other diamonds (until she realized Pink was no longer with them). But she started already accusing her of taking another form and acting as if she’s wasn’t Pink, which Pink actually did do when she was Rose, idk I may be thinking too much but Rose kept lots of secrets and we barely know anything about Pink so she has lots more secrets from home world we know nothing about which already started after the Volleyball and Rosebud episodes.
Does anyone realize how ironic this is, steven went from so powerless that he was holding back the gems and was sad he couldnt get his powers, and now he has so much power that he cant control it and hes the strongest gem
Pink: What is this? Where’s my pearl? White: She’s gone Pink: What did you say?.. Answer me! White: She’s gone I believe that this might be what happened when volleyball was controlled. White would be calmer than Pink, especially before Pink was ‘shattered’. Even if she knew about it
In one episode (I think the one where Steven is just discovering his floating powers) it's stated that rose's/pink's powers rely on her emotions so wouldn't it just make sense that when she got angry she would become destructive? Like, compared to the other diamonds, whose powers cannot go above a certain level without training or personal growth, Pink diamond's abilities can drastically change in power with just the change in her emotional state. Making her both the weakest and strongest diamond.
pd left spinel after the volleyball incident btw. in the movie she says quote unquote "And pink diamonds pearl.. Well she took you with her, isn't that just swell?!" meaning she left after that happened. she also got her colony at that exact moment
@@sarckat7021 Pink Diamond left Spinel only after she got her colony Since Pink Pearl mentioned that she was under White's control for 8,000 years and the war has concluded for 6,000(?).. that means she left 2,000 years after the Pink Pearl incident; not immediately after. Also Pearl and Spinel were given to Pink Diamond after that incident--
Friendly reminder because some people seem to be forgetting “Pink Steven” is not a separate being to Steven. The organic Steven we see without his Gem in Change Your Mind is just as much the real Steven as the Gem half is. They’re two halves of a whole. When separated, they see from each other’s perspective as well as their own. There is no “Steven and Pink Steven”. There’s just Steven. When separate, you just have the organic half of Steven and the Gem half. Organic Steven isn’t just the entire Steven without his Gem, just like Gem Steven isn’t just the entire Steven made of light. Neither are whole without the other. They’re one and the same. Two sides of the same coin that make up Steven.
So, I saw this post on tumblr, and I think that it can properly explain Rose/PD. It's by keleficient. I was thinking about why Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond is so hated. The obvious answer is because of the horrible things she did. image But the other diamonds did horrible things too…worse things even. Pink abandoned Spinel, which is wrong, but Spinel was planning to kill every living thing on Earth to spite the son of a person who was no longer even alive. Yet, no one talks about what a monster Spinel is. So many Steven Universe characters have hurt people, but we forgive them and are happy to see them redeemed. So why not Rose? Then, it hit me: because Rose’s redemption arc is told to us in reverse. The first time we see Rose is toward the end of her life when she is pregnant with Steven. We see her appreciation for life and how full of love she is for Greg and her future child. She’s willingly sacrificing herself to bring a new life into the world. image But then, we start learning who Rose used to be, all her mistakes, all the people she hurt. The loving mother in Steven’s video becomes a distant memory. For those of you who hate Rose, imagine her backstory unfolded a little differently for us. We’re introduced to Pink Diamond: she’s spoiled, bratty, immature, irresponsible, and inconsiderate. She throws temper tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. image Not exactly an endearing character, right? But one day, her tantrum injure Pink Pearl, her best friend. From that day on, she keeps everything to herself. Now we see her dealing with a consequence of her bad behavior. Then we see how she’s abused by the other diamonds. We start to sympathize with her. image We see her try to save Earth. We see her trying to do the right thing for once. But it backfires horribly. image She spends the rest of her life trying to fix it, but she can’t. She meets Greg. Here is where Rose has the most emotional growth as a character. She learns what is truly means to be a “real person.” Finally, she grows such an appreciation for human life, that she decides to sacrifice her form to bring her son into the world. image The reason Rose is so much more controversial than other characters who have done problematic things is because her story is told in reverse, her redemption comes across as a fall from grace. But there are plenty of characters who have a fall from grace who are still not as controversial as Rose. The reason why many people are less sympathetic to Rose is because we never see how Rose reacts to her mistakes. We never get much insight into how Rose feels about herself and the things she’s done. We get small hints: ``I barely know you.`` *``That's a good thing.``* For everyone who hates Rose, I get why. But I think we need to remember who she became instead of who she was.
Could Pink's destructive potential be the reason why she was finally granted her own colony? I find it interesting how Volleyball acknowledged Pink destructive potential, yet was the most dismissive and forgiving. While our Pearl, while admitting her Diamonds flaws, saw her as a healer. Vehemently denying the truth of Pink's past. This must be what Royal Pearl meant when she said one couldn't accept the scars of Pink's past. While the other couldn't the potential for Pink to change. Sadly ironic that it was those scars that resolved her to change.
White diamond: leader of homeworld Yellow diamond: commander of the ship Blue diamond: organizer of the homeworld Pink diamond: *_glass destroying powers_*
I just realized something. Volleyball said that Pink Diamond did that to her eye out of a tantrum. When Stevonnie had a dream about Pink Diamond shattering a window out of a tantrum, maybe the window wasn't actually a window. Maybe the window was replaced by Volleyball. Volleyball said that Pink Diamond didn't know what was in front of her and Pink Diamond pictured a window instead of seeing Volleyball and she punched Volleyball in the face with her destructive power.
We need the full picture!! We still know so little of pinks life when she was an active ruling diamond and what she was really like before her colony. I know pink did some effed up stuff, but she obviously wasent entirely bad. The pebbles recognized Steven as pink because he said THANKS. And the rose quartz solders are adorable and sweet and caring. And the video for Steven pink left behind. And Greg's and the crystal gems love for her. I know that she was lying and caused a lot of heart ache but there had to be a reason. We're getting 2 completely different versions of who pink diamond was. Instead of thinking HOW could she do that, I want to know WHY did she do that? And was there even another option for her anyway? Could she escape her life, her role, her homeworld, if she did it any other way??
Her line "but you're a part of me... the part I always have to repress" has a lot more meaning after Future. In Rose Buds we get more proof that Gems take on characteristics after the Diamonds that made them (like children). Maybe White is the one that made the other Diamonds! This would also explain why White feels like she deserves to rule all of Gem-kind. She *literally* made the Diamonds and, by extension, every Gem in existence.
I have a theory about Spinel!! In "Drift Away" the song spinel sings, you can see a planet in the background with a giant heart through it. And there is a theory that, like the amethyst guards , took life from the planet to make them, and since Spinel was so full of activeness it took a whole planet to make her. So, when Steven climbs Spinels injector in the end of the movie, you can see the top of her injector has a giant heart on it, and the poison inside is pink like Spinel, so could that have been a spinel injector, that the diamonds used to make her, was it like a back up injector?! Would earth have created another Spinel?
@@danielkundaijacha8933 Maybe the injector was used for spinel but then they didnt have any other use for it and didnt wanna waste injectors, so they just re-purposed it? :p
*pink diamond breaks something*(ie the planet or a building) white shows up on everyone's tv: don't worry everyone I just ummmmm sneeze that's now GET BACK TO WORK or ill sneeze again this time AT YOU.
"there's more that meets the eye- and no, not volleyball's missing eye" Volleyball: "I would have stayed mind controlled if I knew I was gonna have to hear that"
I understand why people dislike but to me, she’s such an interesting character. She started off as a holy and saint-like character but as it goes on she’s much more complex and have loads more to show. I like her as character cause there’s so much to uncover from her
Oh no, right off the bat when I saw her eye I was like "Pink did that, and that's why her pearl was taken away, because she wasn't responsible enough."
I.. have trouble believing that cause we had no previous knowledge of pink being destructive, really (unless im forgetting something, but i don't think so.)
@@blueishere1613 Blue said "If you keep this up she's going to take away your pearl." Even if Pink never displayed her violent temper in front of the other diamonds that doesn't mean that she didn't have violent outbursts. Remember the flashback of her punching and breaking her mirror?
I was thinking this too! she was so quiet and seems like a carbon copy of pink/rose voice and all. maybe pink copied her form verbatum causing this poor innocent RQ to get a lot of crap for it. which is why she was bubbled and the rest went down with her. imagine having an identical twin commit a crime and you get arrested for it. that's what i'm getting at here.
I think you’re missing out on the one quote that really determines her ability and severity of PD destructive power: White Diamond states in Change your mind that Pink is the part of herself that she tries to repress. It’s pretty clear that if White is the calm, collected type then Pink is impulsive and lashes out. So I think that Steven is going to bring it that side of her in a big way: His new diamond power is like Whites, the ability to place empathy in another person and in a way manipulate them. Each diamond is a mirror reflection of the other Blue and Yellow are two sides of the same coin and so are Pink and White. It will bring into play the idea of Pink manipulating others, which is Jasper’s go to insult, as well as throwing a fit when her manipulation doesn’t work...like any child.
I really think that after she broke her original pearl Pink Diamond repressed all her destructive and scary powers. It didn't make her more mature, it didn't stop her temper, she just stopped destroying everything when she got angry. That carried on into Rose Quarts who was more passive than Pink Diamond (I thoroughly believe that even if you were to poof Rose that she would reform as a Rose Quarts. It's not just shapeshifting, she changed who she was down to her core.) And again, Steven is more passive than Rose Quarts, being a genuinely good person and only wanting to help. Rose was better than Pink but still had major character flaws. Really, the only reason that Steven had such huge character flaws is that he was thoroughly traumatized.
White Diamond: " did you just assume that I did that to pink's pearl?" *Steven turns pink White Diamond: " okay starlight, it is a reasonable assumption " *Steven splits the earth into two
i just think that when ma boi stevs was separated from his gem, and came back to it, the 'limiter' on his destructive powers became more loose and began reverting to Pink Diamond's original state, just like the connection between him and his gem. Not meaning that he can't use his powers anymore, but the Rejuvenator may have something to do with it.
I’m kind of getting annoyed that everything had happening comes back to pink. We get it, she’s bad. She wasn’t that great. But now it’s just getting overdone. - That being said, it seem like pink is a Defective gem
After pink hurt Volleyball she changed. Pink diamond is the one diamond that was constantly changing and growing or at least trying to while on homeworld.
Wait I actually have a pretty good theory as to why Steven has these rage powers all of a sudden and not in the movie. Steven learned how to use his powers again, but he has pink Diamond’s gem. Maybe it’s because he got hit with the rejuvenator, it didn’t reset his powers butt when he got them back he also got the ones his mother had that he didn’t know he had.
They don't adore Steven. They adore the idea of Steven. A supplement for Pink Diamond? Hell yes. They're the only gems that can't let her go. After all, they even ditch Steven to take in Spinel, who to them, is once again a replacement for Pink.
Say what you want but I still don't hate pink diamond. I still blame the diamonds because they made her follow so many rules and they never rewarded her for doing something good so I understand that she had mixed up feelings and didn't know whats right and whats wrong because of them.
@@Young_Wrath brooo dont argue with me, yes she is acting a bit like a child but when pink got a colony after thousands of years she knew that she had to grow up and if your thinking like: she could have given her a new purpose? Spinel was made to play with pink and spinel wouldn't even wanna try finding a new purpose. And rejuvenating spinel would be to painfull to watch for pink. Pink did alot of selfish things but she really cared about others. When bismuth gave her the breaking point to shatter her own family she refused and then bismuth got angry and tried to shatter her. Pink never wanted to be selfish, she just didn't knew how to act because the other diamonds always tried teaching her these selfish manners so I blame the diamonds and not pink
"But you're a part of me... the part I always have to repress!" I believe that White Diamond has the same destructive powers as Pink, but is better repressing it. When she is told 'I am a child, what's your excuse' she turned pink just under her eyes, which made her surrender very easy. I think this has a reason, which we will see in SUF soon. As we have witnessed, White Diamond will turn full Pink aswell! I believe at some point they both lost control and this destroyed Homeworld into what it is now.
5:51 If i remember correcrly White has a certain soft spot for Pink, joining the other Diamonds in Blue's Pool Chamber to play games such as guessing what song Pink was singing underwater.
I believe that all 4 diamonds are the result of 1 separating into 4 parts, to better expand its influence. White "birthed" yellow and blue to separate her emotions into manageable entities. Yellow being things like "drive" or "persistance" and blue being things like "sadness" and "loss". Pink, is the embodiment of her passions,the good and bad, what she pushed down the most, thus making the smallest pink diamond possibly the strongest
I saw white diamond as an extremely calm mother to pink like, WD: that's fine pink that's replaceable.... Pink: ... R-really?!?!... WD: yes sweetheart. Breaks her Pearl... WD: that's......fine?...
Exactly! Even the way she asks if everything's out of her system. She more worried about her physical well-being to the point of harming her mental and emotional well-being. I never got destructive from White unless someone came out and said she did it, but even then, we could tell it was a cover up for a more serious underlying problem. When Stevonnie punched the mirror and we saw Pinks reflection, everything fell into place. White is in way over her head with her cantankerous Pink, beautiful, full of life, love and everything else that comes with a rebellious teen it seems. She should've had help from Yellow and Blue. Keeping secrets from each other is what ultimately split their family apart, and what hurt all the gems that had to deal with the consequences of their leaders actions.
I believe the reason pearl thinks pink is a healer is because her powers underwent a similar change as the other diamonds becoming more passive in future, due to her mental state changing, that is why pinks original power took longer to show in steven, as he was having a harder time.
White made the comment about how Pink was the side of her that she always had to suppress - this could be in direct reference to Pink's tantrums. Maybe prior to Pink's creation, White WAS the one who couldn't control her destructive anger. So when Pink was made, the tantrum powers went with her. Perhaps the White Diamond we see in the opening credits is her seeing Steven struggle, feeling guilt that in order to maintain perfection, she dumped her temper into Pink, and thus into Steven....and she takes it back, or tries to, resulting in White Diamond throwing a tantrum for the first time in thousands of years and now knowing how to handle feeling that angry. OR. ORRR. If Steven's anger corrupts him into the worm monster....White flushed Pink when Steven was all goofy in Change your Mind, perhaps as the worm monster, his anger has the same effect but it's destructive.
WD love Pink D. This is only diamond she called "Starlight". And i think is true. If Pink Pearl know the truth, no better way to shut her up like full 8k years mindcontrol.
"You only make things worst, That's what you do. I make things better " *White diamond coverage confirmed* "Steven She is not even like them" *W.D - P.D flip actions confirmed* To Rebecca Sugar "Do you want to make the fanS hate Pink diamond character " Her answer " 🙄 Well of course 🙄" Coincidence -Too many- *I THINK NOTTTTT*
I feel like the surce of her destructive power isn't just anger, but anger out of emotional pain That's why pink only unleashed it against white diamond, because asking yellow and blue for a colony wasn't final, asking white was, so this would be the only time she would feel truely powerless and frustrated That's why Pink Steven started to lose it when he was seperated from himself, he just wanted to get back together with the person he loves then he got utterly frustrated against jasper angry at himself that he put others in danger at the amusement park and now that he learns what his mom used to do and the feeling of betray against what others used to tell him I feel like it will get really interesting, now that puperty seems to hit him :)
Things I hate: 1) lists 2) comments unrelated to the video 3) lists 4) repetition 5) people who edit their comments F) switching the numbering system 7) people who hate Steven universe 8) people who like Steven universe 9) ideas that contradict 10) pople who cant spell
This might be a far stretch, but I think I figured something out. Compared to Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond, Steven's gem ON IT'S OWN is the strongest. Sure, White can do some pretty impressive stuff. But Steven's gem was able to counteract that, meanwhile, Blue and Yellow couldn't. And if your theory of Pink being the reason homeworld is in two halves, which I one hundred percent agree with, is true, then that furthers my theory as well. We don't know the extent of Steven's potential, but with everything we've been given, we can assume that Steven's gem could at least be more powerful than Blue and Yellow. Pink may be small, but she is EXTREMELY fierce.
When you frame Pink’s story like this so many little things in SU make sooo much sense. Like when Steven meet White for the 1st time she calls home “star light” and says I hope you got that out of your system. Before it seemed cold and dismissive but now I see it like a mom keeping her cool in public with a reactive child. Giving that are you done know vibe. Because Pink is so prone to outbursts and tantrums White doesn’t even let Steven talk before sending him to Pink’s room almost like a timeout, think about what you did and come back when you’re ready to be a big girl and use your in door voice. No mom is perfect but is it possible White is maybe a good mother ?!?
Moon River Baby very true, but I said no mother is perfect. In real life parents do crazy and problematic things all the time because they love their kids. Its evident to those on the outside that said actions are hurtful, but to the parents they just there kid to be safe or in this case be the picture of perfection b/c she’s a diamond. Control is a product of fear.
Terrell Mack White may have good intentions but they were still very selfish. I dont think Pearl, Garnet, and amethyst were perfect moms for Steven either, but they are overall good moms. Overall, I dont see White Diamond as good mother. She just wanted to be the rich mom who PRETENDS everything is perfect. Im reminded of Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez.
It makes sense to me now how Pink might be the most powerful... she’s smaller than the other diamonds, but that means she probably had the most concentrated energy
Is White withholding major secrets from the others Diamonds?

I don't know
If White Diamond knew about the temper power maybe Steven will then corrupt her.....
The other diamonds are in the loop, probably, as for the the crystal gems the diamonds probably either assumed Steven had gone thru his destructive phase or had a few years to go before he got there.
I guess steg don't like this because he had a pink glow
Yo
Maybe That’s Why The Gems Weren’t Obliterated In The Diamond Blast They Needed Pinks Destructive Power

Steven: well they weren’t exactly obliterated..
This comment needs more attention
*[Oh my stars, you're right!]*
I wonder how the diamonds will talk to steven whenever he turns pink in front of them.
I wonder too
they will most likely realize the power thats overlapping him and try to do something, they prob knew pink possessed it and steven is starting to inherit and unlock it with no self control which they will assist in helping him keep it in control
Traumatized white diamond from change ur mind
Blue and Yellow will definitely be shocked because they were under White’s control and didn’t exactly see it, but since White has seen it, I think she’ll definitely do something about it.
Yellow:You could be a warrior
Blue:How cute
White:DON'T SHATTER ME
Yellow+Blue:???
I thought that once Pink realized the damage she caused her Pearl she decided to change her ways and explore other ways to manifest her power - leading her to realize she could heal
Plus she must have created the Rose Quartzes, _healing_ gems, after the Pink Pearl incident.
@@Marigold11037 there isn't any proof that actual rose quartz have healing powers, just pink diamond.

What if the Diamonds are meant to be the 4 fundamental forces of nature?

Blue= Weak Nuclear Force (she's here just to fit the quota)
Yellow= Electromagnetic Force (lightning attacks)
Pink = Strong nuclear force, which is described as having the shortest range and the most power on top of being capable of both attraction (healing) and repulsion (destructive power)
@@DT-yw4ob holy moly--
you're a genius !!
@@DT-yw4ob oh this is legit
I think all diamonds can destroy and heal. Seeing as yellow said they've never tried to heal anyone or to reverse corruption before. Pink had to learn how to heal. She learned to be kinder after hurting volleyball. She was traumatized by what she did so she never wanted to destroy again. Hence why she doesn't shatter.
I think you are right. After all they were all needed to heal corruption. And you can't convince me that an angry Yellow or Blue couldn't cause MASSIVE damage, just like Pink. Also all the Diamonds having both powers would make a lot of sense, seeing as they create the other gems with their essence, both the fighting types and others.
This makes sense considering all the diamonds together are able to heal the corrupted gems.
It's kind of like how gemstones or colours can have multiple meanings
White can mean purity, but also vulnurability
Red can mean love but also violence
It'd make sense for the gems to have both sides of their assigned colours-perhaps not all with the exact same powers, but similar ones
Crystal Clear should see this
No Pink diamond was willing to shatter gems but when she saw Garnet's fusion she was happy. It was explained in the episode when pearl was talking to sapphire. Or was that she wanted to scare every gem off the planet? I don't know you gotta see.
It seems that Pink Steven is White Diamond's big weakness and downfall.
Just like Blue and Yellow are each other's opposites.
It does make sense that Pink would be the opposite in personally and powers.
Four humours theory
Captain FluffyPaws if you think about it, Pink and White have the exact same gem shape, however, they’re in different body placements, with White’s gemstone being on her forehead, while Pink’s gemstone is upside down and on her navel.
JBrown 30 Also, white diamond even said that pink was the part of her she always wanted to supress.
*"Did you get everything out of your system?"*
Makes a lot more sense now than it did before, at first I thought it was Pink pretending to be Rose-eh, White's case it's Steven but now this makes more sense and not just some statement that felt like it could've meant anything.
I'm pretty sure that, since WD seemed like the mother/leader of their hierarchy, and PD was like the youngest child, Pink and White were actually the closest compared to the other Diamonds. It's not like White would acknowledge Pink's feelings, but she'd still listen and allow Pink to be honest and get angry and release all of her frustrations compared to when she'd be with Yellow or Blue (i.e., she'd have to intentionally act less adequate to them, rather than a Diamond who, though still mentally incapable of managing a colony, had powers equal to White herself.
@@hellodolly7301 Safe to say from a observant point of view, we're learning more of this as we go. I originally thought Pink was the weakest and no not because of her height (which I hope will be explained somewhere) because of her at the time seem really limited ablities. Future is basically slapping everyone in the face with:
*"Or so you thought you knew."* kinda quote.
@@hellodolly7301 Oh and another thing I know White's like the leader and all but her own self-absorb ways is what made her a terrible leader; Blue who is emotional to a fault and Yellow who is all about logical thinking even knew they had faults; wouldn't show them because I assume they didn't want to be look at like they're weak and unfit to order their respected court.
@@hiddenmoss3516 The point of size could in theory be explained through this idea. The concept that PD might actually be super powerful would lend to the idea she was overcooked. Like how Amethyst was overcooked and consequently has a really high-level gem weapon. And Amethyst is smaller than other gems like her.
Remember, nothing on Steven Universe 5th season was for nothing. Especially the Diamonds part. Heavy plot points are way too important by the end of the series to be "Just put that in the heat of the moment or at random" such was Bismuth gem on Lion's mane or the chest. xD
My theory, is that Pink Steven represents Pink Diamonds destructive power. Pink was often ignored and mistreated by the other Diamonds, which made her angry frustrated, and awakened her destructive powers. But when she matured and became Rose Quartz, she awakened her healing powers when she grew to love Earth, humans and other Gems. White Diamond may have known about Pink’s destructive powers, and constantly punished her to keep her from using those powers. Though her punishments may have only made things worse. The Diamonds didn’t seem to know about Pink’s ability to heal others, because Pink didn’t feel as though the other Diamonds loved her...so her healing powers did not awaken during that time. Now if Steven becomes angry or frustrated, his destructive powers awaken.
That’s just my theory though.
Good theory !
I like this idea!
Pink steven is raw, emotionless power which can manifest in whatever way it chooses to be
However steven is human-loving, empathetic, kind, and so he uses that power to heal
If his Pink side is coming through then he's probably using more of his destructive power
@Honey Cakes agreed. He's running out of people to give his compassion to, and so his destructive side is taking over
Pretty good theory, makes sense. Especally with how the plot is going.
@Honey Cakes
This.
So many takes on Pink/Rose nowdays don't really acknowledge what abuse can do to a person. It can make you destructive and angry, it can take years to heal and find out what you can do for the better.
This makes so much sense because if y’all remember from “Legs from here to Homeworld”, after greeting Steven white states “Did you fun? *Did you get everything out of your system?*”. White Diamond not only knew about Pink’s powers but I feel that White actually encouraged her feats of strength.
Pink Diamond used hyper voice!

IIRC, White implied that she created the other diamonds (including Pink) from herself. I have to wonder if the attributes of each Diamond also belonged to White before they were made. Perhaps in making Pink, White Diamond removed her own volatile temper and destructive power from herself because she saw them as a flaw. Could the enraged, pink-hued White Diamond from the antagonist panel be a flashback to before Pink was created?
Alex K hmm i think you are right that’s convincing
This makes a lot of sense actually
Since Blue and Yellow seem to be equal in their power and size, they may have been made together to balance each other out, leaving only White with her pink side.
The reason Pink is so small is because White couldn't manage to completely remove her own "flaws", leading to her still having parts of pink inside her, therefore being off colour
Another idea is that perhaps Pink is the most powerful diamond because all of her power is so concentrated within her tiny gem-self.
like bleaching herself
Alex K
the diamond extract in episode 1 is very interesting
@@Marigold11037 i really hope this theory comes true
I actually think that Volleyball's eye is actually the reason that she was taken away and replaced by Spinel and Pearl. It was said in the show that it was an incident involving Pink Diamond that got Volleyball replaced, and what more obvious reason would it be than literally breaking a Pearl. White didn't want anyone to fear Pink Diamond because of this so she took control so no one would find out. She didn't lie, but she also didn't tell anyone why Volleyball's eye was broken, making everyone fear White as she was the person in control when they learned of Volleyball's eye problem
Oh and I love the "Pink broke homeworld" theory. Pink Diamonds are basically super compressed to the point of breaking the orderly crystal lattice structure and causing a graining that gives the gem its pink color, *hint hint*.
I think the “don’t break this one” is pink saying that to herself alluding to her trying to hold in her emotions so she doesn’t break this one
I mean that could work but i prefer how when a parent gets you a new phone they're like "okay now dont break this one." y'know? I like the parental vibe from the other diamonds lmfao
I still like Rose. As to what Mega Pearl said “One knew that you mother was always trying to change, but didn’t know why.”
Pink before our pearl was angry and couldn’t keep a secret.
Pink with our pearl kept secrets and was able to control her temper to an extent but also abandoned others.
Rose when she just started to protect Earth was more calm but still kept her secrets most likely to protect her pearl and others. She also viewed Earthlings as entertaining instead of people but view them as important. She was most likely calm because she felt as if she had a purpose.
Rose after meeting and talking to Greg became much more calm. She loved him and gained a better understanding towards humanity. Most likely why she was going to become part of Steven is so she could grow with him. She knew that who she was was not great and maybe wanted a new start where she could understand humanity and be empathetic. She would gain the most growth if she was human.
I agree with all of that
this is a very good take
THEORY ALERT:
What if every time Pink acted up before she had a colony, she was REBOOTED.
This would explain why Pink didn’t remember Spinel. And her fits of rage being the same over and over, because she was never allowed to grow because she was always starting over again and again, much to white diamonds dismay and influence most likely.
They’ve been making Pink Diamond out to be such a horrible person but I feel like with how much effort she put into wanting to change they’re gonna hit us with a curve ball to explain and probably excuse some of her bad stuff.
I love this theory
Yes.. but she would have just reset to the angry version of her, and she was given her colony while spinel was there. If they wanted to rejuvenate her, they would have done that and then given her the colony.
A horrible attempt at trying to make people magically forgive her.
I doubt this. If I remember right, when Steven and the others are ambushed by Spinel, Pearl says "But it can't be..", likely meaning that Pink had told Pearl, showing that Pink probably forgot about Spinel naturally instead of rejuvenation.
"survived by her son"
and just like that I nearly spit out my soda due to the flashback
It’s kinda crazy how each of the Diamonds demonstrate different destructive behaviors: Yellow ignores, and suppresses. Blue gaslights and guilt trips. White is passive aggressive, having a sick and weird way of... helping people to the point of stressing her out, and Pink, who physically abuses and runs away from her problems.

Jeez, you're not early very often, are you?
I don't think she was evil.
Hear me out, because my theory is slightly different.
I think that Pink Diamond may be the result of White purging the rage from herself. I think the version of white diamond we see in the opening is from a flashback, when her temper was as bad enough to make Blue and Yellow as afraid as they were of her, and in one of her worst tantrums she split homeworld in half. After seeing what she'd done, she purged the rage from herself and used some of it to create pink diamond. Pink is the literal mirror of white putting on a facade and being full of rage in private: her tantrums, breaking her pearl, starting a war just to get her own way. Even White said "As for me, I'm certain I don't *need* you...But you're a part of me, the part I always have to repress". If I'm right that version of White Diamond from the opening will either be a flashback to OG White before Pink was created or somehow White will fail to repress her rage anymore. It's the same pink tint that steven gets with his new rage-based Pink powers.
Omg yes
OMG I love this theory, totally makes sense!
Honestly this is one of the only theories in this community that i agree with. It would make sense.
What if the diamonds are all manifestations of white's insecurities, and white made the other diamonds, and the reason she thought she was perfect because she thought she purged all of her insecurities?
@@lelmin5182 Bro honestly i like that.
Am I the only one with mixed feelings with the name “Vollyball” or is it just me?
Not just you.
I find it funny but also sad because it was given as a way for our pearl to be catty with her and VB is too oblivious to notice she was being made fun of. so it feels a little mean to call her volleyball.
I personally have mixed feelings with the fact , that Pearl gets to go by Pearl, and "Volleyball" is the one who has to get a nickname. I mean hasn't she been through enough.
Well it was a line-of-sight name, it doesn't really need be good, just workable. Maybe she'll get something better, fandom does help
What if it was the creation of Pink Diamond what broke Home World though?
Like foreshadowing to the power she holds~

@@ElCactus7567 I think she was just in shock on seeing HW again. It's not too farfetch of an idea to think gem production and draining the planet of it's resources cracked the planet in two
I mean it would make sense but they immediately blamed WD for it being that way just like with Volleyball so kinda makes me think a lot of stuff that White was blamed for without actual witnesses is actually because of Pink. I’m also starting to think maybe White knew about Pink’s plan of being Rose Quartz seeing as how once they met and even when Steven landed she immediately welcomed him back with no explanation or surprise from her, not even anger unlike the other diamonds (until she realized Pink was no longer with them). But she started already accusing her of taking another form and acting as if she’s wasn’t Pink, which Pink actually did do when she was Rose, idk I may be thinking too much but Rose kept lots of secrets and we barely know anything about Pink so she has lots more secrets from home world we know nothing about which already started after the Volleyball and Rosebud episodes.
Pink > I wan planet pls no SchReeeCchherewee
Does anyone realize how ironic this is, steven went from so powerless that he was holding back the gems and was sad he couldnt get his powers, and now he has so much power that he cant control it and hes the strongest gem
Pink: What is this? Where’s my pearl?
White: She’s gone
Pink: What did you say?.. Answer me!
White: She’s gone
I believe that this might be what happened when volleyball was controlled. White would be calmer than Pink, especially before Pink was ‘shattered’. Even if she knew about it
In one episode (I think the one where Steven is just discovering his floating powers) it's stated that rose's/pink's powers rely on her emotions so wouldn't it just make sense that when she got angry she would become destructive? Like, compared to the other diamonds, whose powers cannot go above a certain level without training or personal growth, Pink diamond's abilities can drastically change in power with just the change in her emotional state. Making her both the weakest and strongest diamond.

Yep! If the Volleyball incident never happend thought, she would have experience it. She basecly switch her tantrum with secret, lies and manipulation
pd left spinel after the volleyball incident btw. in the movie she says quote unquote "And pink diamonds pearl.. Well she took you with her, isn't that just swell?!" meaning she left after that happened. she also got her colony at that exact moment
@@sarckat7021 Pink Diamond left Spinel only after she got her colony
Since Pink Pearl mentioned that she was under White's control for 8,000 years and the war has concluded for 6,000(?).. that means she left 2,000 years after the Pink Pearl incident; not immediately after.
Also Pearl and Spinel were given to Pink Diamond after that incident--
Friendly reminder because some people seem to be forgetting
“Pink Steven” is not a separate being to Steven. The organic Steven we see without his Gem in Change Your Mind is just as much the real Steven as the Gem half is. They’re two halves of a whole. When separated, they see from each other’s perspective as well as their own. There is no “Steven and Pink Steven”. There’s just Steven. When separate, you just have the organic half of Steven and the Gem half. Organic Steven isn’t just the entire Steven without his Gem, just like Gem Steven isn’t just the entire Steven made of light. Neither are whole without the other. They’re one and the same. Two sides of the same coin that make up Steven.
So, I saw this post on tumblr, and I think that it can properly explain Rose/PD. It's by keleficient.
I was thinking about why Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond is so hated.
The obvious answer is because of the horrible things she did.
image
But the other diamonds did horrible things too…worse things even.
Pink abandoned Spinel, which is wrong, but Spinel was planning to kill every living thing on Earth to spite the son of a person who was no longer even alive. Yet, no one talks about what a monster Spinel is.
So many Steven Universe characters have hurt people, but we forgive them and are happy to see them redeemed.
So why not Rose?
Then, it hit me: because Rose’s redemption arc is told to us in reverse.
The first time we see Rose is toward the end of her life when she is pregnant with Steven. We see her appreciation for life and how full of love she is for Greg and her future child. She’s willingly sacrificing herself to bring a new life into the world.
image
But then, we start learning who Rose used to be, all her mistakes, all the people she hurt.
The loving mother in Steven’s video becomes a distant memory.
For those of you who hate Rose, imagine her backstory unfolded a little differently for us.
We’re introduced to Pink Diamond: she’s spoiled, bratty, immature, irresponsible, and inconsiderate.
She throws temper tantrums when she doesn’t get her way.
image
Not exactly an endearing character, right?
But one day, her tantrum injure Pink Pearl, her best friend. From that day on, she keeps everything to herself. Now we see her dealing with a consequence of her bad behavior.
Then we see how she’s abused by the other diamonds. We start to sympathize with her.
image
We see her try to save Earth. We see her trying to do the right thing for once.
But it backfires horribly.
image
She spends the rest of her life trying to fix it, but she can’t.
She meets Greg. Here is where Rose has the most emotional growth as a character. She learns what is truly means to be a “real person.”
Finally, she grows such an appreciation for human life, that she decides to sacrifice her form to bring her son into the world.
image
The reason Rose is so much more controversial than other characters who have done problematic things is because her story is told in reverse, her redemption comes across as a fall from grace.
But there are plenty of characters who have a fall from grace who are still not as controversial as Rose. The reason why many people are less sympathetic to Rose is because we never see how Rose reacts to her mistakes. We never get much insight into how Rose feels about herself and the things she’s done. We get small hints:
``I barely know you.``
*``That's a good thing.``*
For everyone who hates Rose, I get why. But I think we need to remember who she became instead of who she was.
Wow thanks!

Could Pink's destructive potential be the reason why she was finally granted her own colony?
I find it interesting how Volleyball acknowledged Pink destructive potential, yet was the most dismissive and forgiving. While our Pearl, while admitting her Diamonds flaws, saw her as a healer. Vehemently denying the truth of Pink's past. This must be what Royal Pearl meant when she said one couldn't accept the scars of Pink's past. While the other couldn't the potential for Pink to change. Sadly ironic that it was those scars that resolved her to change.

I just realized something. Volleyball said that Pink Diamond did that to her eye out of a tantrum. When Stevonnie had a dream about Pink Diamond shattering a window out of a tantrum, maybe the window wasn't actually a window. Maybe the window was replaced by Volleyball. Volleyball said that Pink Diamond didn't know what was in front of her and Pink Diamond pictured a window instead of seeing Volleyball and she punched Volleyball in the face with her destructive power.

We need the full picture!! We still know so little of pinks life when she was an active ruling diamond and what she was really like before her colony. I know pink did some effed up stuff, but she obviously wasent entirely bad. The pebbles recognized Steven as pink because he said THANKS. And the rose quartz solders are adorable and sweet and caring. And the video for Steven pink left behind. And Greg's and the crystal gems love for her. I know that she was lying and caused a lot of heart ache but there had to be a reason. We're getting 2 completely different versions of who pink diamond was. Instead of thinking HOW could she do that, I want to know WHY did she do that? And was there even another option for her anyway? Could she escape her life, her role, her homeworld, if she did it any other way??
Thank you
Her line "but you're a part of me... the part I always have to repress" has a lot more meaning after Future. In Rose Buds we get more proof that Gems take on characteristics after the Diamonds that made them (like children). Maybe White is the one that made the other Diamonds! This would also explain why White feels like she deserves to rule all of Gem-kind. She *literally* made the Diamonds and, by extension, every Gem in existence.
I have a theory about Spinel!!
In "Drift Away" the song spinel sings, you can see a planet in the background with a giant heart through it. And there is a theory that, like the amethyst guards , took life from the planet to make them, and since Spinel was so full of activeness it took a whole planet to make her. So, when Steven climbs Spinels injector in the end of the movie, you can see the top of her injector has a giant heart on it, and the poison inside is pink like Spinel, so could that have been a spinel injector, that the diamonds used to make her, was it like a back up injector?! Would earth have created another Spinel?
I don't think so. Spinel was made to be an entertainer. I don't think a gem like her or any gem needs an entire planet to be made
@@flacotaco6737 I dont know man 😂 I just thought of something and wrote it down before i forgot it. 😂

@@blueishere1613 Blue said "If you keep this up she's going to take away your pearl." Even if Pink never displayed her violent temper in front of the other diamonds that doesn't mean that she didn't have violent outbursts. Remember the flashback of her punching and breaking her mirror?

"... You're a part of me." -White Diamond
I think you’re missing out on the one quote that really determines her ability and severity of PD destructive power: White Diamond states in Change your mind that Pink is the part of herself that she tries to repress. It’s pretty clear that if White is the calm, collected type then Pink is impulsive and lashes out. So I think that Steven is going to bring it that side of her in a big way: His new diamond power is like Whites, the ability to place empathy in another person and in a way manipulate them. Each diamond is a mirror reflection of the other Blue and Yellow are two sides of the same coin and so are Pink and White. It will bring into play the idea of Pink manipulating others, which is Jasper’s go to insult, as well as throwing a fit when her manipulation doesn’t work...like any child.
I really think that after she broke her original pearl Pink Diamond repressed all her destructive and scary powers. It didn't make her more mature, it didn't stop her temper, she just stopped destroying everything when she got angry. That carried on into Rose Quarts who was more passive than Pink Diamond (I thoroughly believe that even if you were to poof Rose that she would reform as a Rose Quarts. It's not just shapeshifting, she changed who she was down to her core.) And again, Steven is more passive than Rose Quarts, being a genuinely good person and only wanting to help. Rose was better than Pink but still had major character flaws. Really, the only reason that Steven had such huge character flaws is that he was thoroughly traumatized.
Hi
I do think that the human Side of Steven was trying to hold back Pink Steven. Since in a way they are a fushion after all.
White Diamond: " did you just assume that I did that to pink's pearl?"
*Steven turns pink
White Diamond: " okay starlight, it is a reasonable assumption "
*Steven splits the earth into two
Wont lie I LOVE how they are finally using that squandered potential of the story. It blew me away seeing em keep going with this angle.
So basecly
SU episode 1: Steven raps about ice cream
Suf: Steven has the power to DESTROY PLANETS 😶
Claire Aquos Superb analysis 👌🏽
Pinks shout is like lions roar, it wouldn’t surprise me if Steven has some portal manipulation abilities
i just think that when ma boi stevs was separated from his gem, and came back to it, the 'limiter' on his destructive powers became more loose and began reverting to Pink Diamond's original state, just like the connection between him and his gem. Not meaning that he can't use his powers anymore, but the Rejuvenator may have something to do with it.
I’m kind of getting annoyed that everything had happening comes back to pink. We get it, she’s bad. She wasn’t that great. But now it’s just getting overdone.
-
That being said, it seem like pink is a Defective gem
Yeah they are villainizing her way. Too mcu
After pink hurt Volleyball she changed. Pink diamond is the one diamond that was constantly changing and growing or at least trying to while on homeworld.
Wait I actually have a pretty good theory as to why Steven has these rage powers all of a sudden and not in the movie. Steven learned how to use his powers again, but he has pink Diamond’s gem. Maybe it’s because he got hit with the rejuvenator, it didn’t reset his powers butt when he got them back he also got the ones his mother had that he didn’t know he had.
What if white replaced pink pearl with our pearl because she was the only other gem who knew?
I still don't get why the diamonds adore Steven. They literally changed everything for a boy that ditched them in the end
Because they really miss Pink Diamond and all they have left of her is Steven.
And they also usually see humans like Steven as being Worthless too !
@@adriendotwav yh but they literally changed everything. Years of work wasted
I think it's just that Pink is back in a way.
They don't adore Steven. They adore the idea of Steven. A supplement for Pink Diamond? Hell yes. They're the only gems that can't let her go. After all, they even ditch Steven to take in Spinel, who to them, is once again a replacement for Pink.
Say what you want but I still don't hate pink diamond. I still blame the diamonds because they made her follow so many rules and they never rewarded her for doing something good so I understand that she had mixed up feelings and didn't know whats right and whats wrong because of them.
Shes selfish tho even steven knows that now she left spinel and never came back she abandoned everything just to have fun on earth lol shes a child
@@Young_Wrath brooo dont argue with me, yes she is acting a bit like a child but when pink got a colony after thousands of years she knew that she had to grow up and if your thinking like: she could have given her a new purpose? Spinel was made to play with pink and spinel wouldn't even wanna try finding a new purpose. And rejuvenating spinel would be to painfull to watch for pink. Pink did alot of selfish things but she really cared about others. When bismuth gave her the breaking point to shatter her own family she refused and then bismuth got angry and tried to shatter her. Pink never wanted to be selfish, she just didn't knew how to act because the other diamonds always tried teaching her these selfish manners so I blame the diamonds and not pink
There's an implication that Pink wasn't there as long as the other diamonds. I wonder if she was born from the part of white she had to repress.
"But you're a part of me... the part I always have to repress!"
I believe that White Diamond has the same destructive powers as Pink, but is better repressing it. When she is told 'I am a child, what's your excuse' she turned pink just under her eyes, which made her surrender very easy. I think this has a reason, which we will see in SUF soon.
As we have witnessed, White Diamond will turn full Pink aswell! I believe at some point they both lost control and this destroyed Homeworld into what it is now.
White: Your GOING TO DESTROY THE WHOLE, PINK! YOU GOT TO STOP IT.
Pink: FINAL FLASH!
5:51 If i remember correcrly White has a certain soft spot for Pink, joining the other Diamonds in Blue's Pool Chamber to play games such as guessing what song Pink was singing underwater.
I believe that all 4 diamonds are the result of 1 separating into 4 parts, to better expand its influence. White "birthed" yellow and blue to separate her emotions into manageable entities. Yellow being things like "drive" or "persistance" and blue being things like "sadness" and "loss". Pink, is the embodiment of her passions,the good and bad, what she pushed down the most, thus making the smallest pink diamond possibly the strongest
I saw white diamond as an extremely calm mother to pink like,
WD: that's fine pink that's replaceable....
Pink: ... R-really?!?!...
WD: yes sweetheart.
Breaks her Pearl...
WD: that's......fine?...
Exactly! Even the way she asks if everything's out of her system. She more worried about her physical well-being to the point of harming her mental and emotional well-being.
I never got destructive from White unless someone came out and said she did it, but even then, we could tell it was a cover up for a more serious underlying problem.
When Stevonnie punched the mirror and we saw Pinks reflection, everything fell into place. White is in way over her head with her cantankerous Pink, beautiful, full of life, love and everything else that comes with a rebellious teen it seems. She should've had help from Yellow and Blue. Keeping secrets from each other is what ultimately split their family apart, and what hurt all the gems that had to deal with the consequences of their leaders actions.
This explains a lot in SU Future
*[Oh, hello screamer!]*
WD: Pink what is that?
PD: *Going to Crack the Planet in Half* a Smoothie
Boihotdogs Mate why do you not have more likes
I believe the reason pearl thinks pink is a healer is because her powers underwent a similar change as the other diamonds becoming more passive in future, due to her mental state changing, that is why pinks original power took longer to show in steven, as he was having a harder time.
I'm guessing pinks powerlevel is over 9000
Yeah i know dead meme
It's not dead with people like you and I love it
@@drakofox1362 Danke 👍
@@lordseelenfresserdemonking1168 no prob
Pink can rivive it
@@lordseelenfresserdemonking1168 oh we all owe white diamond apology
White made the comment about how Pink was the side of her that she always had to suppress - this could be in direct reference to Pink's tantrums. Maybe prior to Pink's creation, White WAS the one who couldn't control her destructive anger. So when Pink was made, the tantrum powers went with her.
Perhaps the White Diamond we see in the opening credits is her seeing Steven struggle, feeling guilt that in order to maintain perfection, she dumped her temper into Pink, and thus into Steven....and she takes it back, or tries to, resulting in White Diamond throwing a tantrum for the first time in thousands of years and now knowing how to handle feeling that angry.
OR. ORRR. If Steven's anger corrupts him into the worm monster....White flushed Pink when Steven was all goofy in Change your Mind, perhaps as the worm monster, his anger has the same effect but it's destructive.
White diamond :what’s his power lvl
Pink Steven:ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!
you're doing it wrong, but good effort :'3
Joey Wakefield WHAT!? 9000!?
Also another theory, i believe steven has the ability to pass angry emotions to others. which explains the pink white diamond and why she's so mad
WD love Pink D. This is only diamond she called "Starlight". And i think is true. If Pink Pearl know the truth, no better way to shut her up like full 8k years mindcontrol.
They all loved her. They just didn't know how to raise her right.

Love your vidios! Have a great day!
Pink Diamond is such a complex and gray character. She's my second favorite besides Diamond.
I don’t think she’s very grey at all. She’s just garbage
Tbh i was abused and i formed a temper from it like pink did
I feel like the surce of her destructive power isn't just anger, but anger out of emotional pain
That's why pink only unleashed it against white diamond, because asking yellow and blue for a colony wasn't final, asking white was, so this would be the only time she would feel truely powerless and frustrated
That's why Pink Steven started to lose it when he was seperated from himself, he just wanted to get back together with the person he loves
then he got utterly frustrated against jasper
angry at himself that he put others in danger at the amusement park
and now that he learns what his mom used to do and the feeling of betray against what others used to tell him
I feel like it will get really interesting, now that puperty seems to hit him :)
Steven is hurting, and repressing his inner pain is making it worse.
Volleyball:is there
Pink diamond mad about not getting a colony:im about to do what's called a pro gamer move
this made me s p i t
This might be the reason that the only thing pink Steven do is scream “she’s gone” and when doing so a part of the floor broke

@@KLF08 this is quite off topic if I say so myself
This might be a far stretch, but I think I figured something out. Compared to Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond, Steven's gem ON IT'S OWN is the strongest. Sure, White can do some pretty impressive stuff. But Steven's gem was able to counteract that, meanwhile, Blue and Yellow couldn't. And if your theory of Pink being the reason homeworld is in two halves, which I one hundred percent agree with, is true, then that furthers my theory as well. We don't know the extent of Steven's potential, but with everything we've been given, we can assume that Steven's gem could at least be more powerful than Blue and Yellow. Pink may be small, but she is EXTREMELY fierce.
When you frame Pink’s story like this so many little things in SU make sooo much sense. Like when Steven meet White for the 1st time she calls home “star light” and says I hope you got that out of your system. Before it seemed cold and dismissive but now I see it like a mom keeping her cool in public with a reactive child. Giving that are you done know vibe. Because Pink is so prone to outbursts and tantrums White doesn’t even let Steven talk before sending him to Pink’s room almost like a timeout, think about what you did and come back when you’re ready to be a big girl and use your in door voice. No mom is perfect but is it possible White is maybe a good mother ?!?
Terrell Mack NO. She’s not. I like White Diamond, but she’s awful. Remember, she did brainwash Pink Pearl for 8000 years.
Moon River Baby very true, but I said no mother is perfect. In real life parents do crazy and problematic things all the time because they love their kids. Its evident to those on the outside that said actions are hurtful, but to the parents they just there kid to be safe or in this case be the picture of perfection b/c she’s a diamond. Control is a product of fear.
Terrell Mack White may have good intentions but they were still very selfish. I dont think Pearl, Garnet, and amethyst were perfect moms for Steven either, but they are overall good moms. Overall, I dont see White Diamond as good mother. She just wanted to be the rich mom who PRETENDS everything is perfect. Im reminded of Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez.
Pink Diamond’s super sonic voice is reminiscent of Lion’s roar
Ooh you're right.
It makes sense to me now how Pink might be the most powerful... she’s smaller than the other diamonds, but that means she probably had the most concentrated energy
