White Diamond Broke Homeworld: How and Why?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- In the newest Steven Universe episode "Legs from Here to Homeworld", we met White Diamond and found out that Homewold is broken apart! Why is it broken like this? Was this done purposely? The evidence points to yes.
Does White Diamond power Homeworld, do Diamond's grow bigger over time? All these questions and more are discussed in today's video!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder to take the poll regarding this video over on my Community Tab on my channel! If you'd like to start a discussion on this theory, comment below! Make sure to be civil with one another while discussing theories!
*Edit:* A lot of people keep bringing up Amethyst, and how she was smaller because she was overcooked/incubated longer than she should've been. It's important to note that over incubation and being incubated multiple times are two entirely different things, and have two entirely different effects. This video isn't about over incubation. It's about incubating multiple times, not just once (and not for a longer amount of time). These two things are completely different, so Amethyst being overcooked does not disprove this theory.

Lea C. This video would kinda go along with some of austrukvox videos
I would like to discuss the parts of what looks like a giant robot. Pink with the legs, blue and yellow with the arms, and white with the torso and head. Does this lead up to something? Also, who is the fusion gem on steve's home
I personally like the theory and I find it very believable. However, if the "overcooked" argument doesn't count because this is about being incubated multiple times (and as you mentioned, not for a longer amount of time), then what about the Cluster?
Oh and that’s why she looks different in jungle moon compared to who she gets Earth 😀
...
...have you guys noticed the dialogue from both *White Diamond* and her Pearl? White Diamond's may have made her a bit nicer, but not her Pearl's. In fact, if you listen *carefully* to their dialogue, it, more or less, makes them *automated,* almost as if they were, at best, metaphorically *programmed* for their work. And if that's the case, then the *entire* issue of how and why the Gem Homeworld has been broken should actually have *far less* to do with "quality of colonization * number of planets (E=mc2) = quality of Gem size", and *much, much more* to do with exactly how *well* White has adapted to her job as a *Diamond.* If it's true that the Diamond Authority is a matriarchal establishment motivated like some *big game,* then White Diamond has either failed to fulfill her *leadership* role, or succeeded in gaining *points* by number of planets, thus controlling *most* of the *entire cosmos.* However, concerning her dialogue, along with her Pearl's, I don't exactly hear *any other* Diamond talk like some "tool-driven *robot* " (Connie's own words)! *Pink* doesn't talk like White does..., at least when you compare both those Diamonds in terms of use of *emotion.* The Diamond Authority may have cost *massive* habitation in *selection* of such planets for colonization, but that doesn't exactly explain the potential for a *Gem* to literally *grow in size* as a Diamond. In fact, more than *anything else* regarding the Gem Homeworld, destruction of planets due to colonization should explain not only White Diamond's *character,* but an expanding *system* uprooted from the Diamond Authority! Listen again to Yellow's statement on communicating with White:
"We'll be lucky if [White Diamond] ever *speaks* to us again after this.... When we (Blue, Yellow, and the Crystal Gems) show up in [Pink's Leg] ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6000 years are now *the biggest galactic embarrassment* that's ever happened, and we [Blue, Yellow, and Pink?] are the ones to blame."
- Yellow Diamond, "Legs from Here to Homeworld"
The statement above implies to me that while Blue and Yellow may now be *questioning* their roles as Diamonds, White is not even *aware* of what has happened on planet Earth, because either she *knows* the actual *damage* done with *other* planets, or she's too *focused* on *gaining* planets, and control thereof, that she can't even *tell* how much *habitation* has been *destroyed* on her own account! I can therefore conclude that there's something *extremely* problematic with the system established by the Diamonds - not necessarily the equation in *size,* but the very function in *practice.*
"To show the power of Flex Tape i've sawed this world in-half"
Forget the video, this is the only explanation I need.
Someone needs to make a crack video quick
Lmao yes
*White diamond is seen sawing Saturn in half while blue and yellow look at her concernedly*
Now that's a lot of damage

White Diamond is the ONLY gem that has ever given any gem a nickname hence Starlight for Pink/Steven. I watched a video on this and he said that White D stayed on Homeworld because she was still in denial. Her lifespan is so long she hasn’t gotten over a “death” that happened 5000 years ago. So that’s why she didn’t come to the trial with Rose because she didn’t wanna miss Pink “Come back” and the reason we all get that chill down our backs whenever she talks to Steven is because she’s almost obsessively loving towards Pink
Maybe don't call her "White D" 💀😳
5:34 I thought that Russia was missing because they wanted to censor Steven Universe.
So Steven Universe censored Russia.
DreamJournal Me too.
there are many Russian fans who genuinely love the show, but our dumbass government has a law to censor "lgbt propaganda" (though there are some overly sexualised scenes I must admit).
so, ouch :(
That sounds hilarious actually.
That's kinda insulting but still funny.
Lmao
I just realized something. The human zoo ... that chunk missing from Russia ...
y e s, e x a c t l y
the human zoo isn't that big
SpicyMacie wait what? Take revenge? Who would even do that? it doesn’t make sense
SpicyMacie I’m sorry if I’m rly rude I just don’t get it
SpicyMacie yeah I know that, but that’s the case with many other countries, Rebecca wouldn’t make a decision like that in the show just for the sake of revenge
if a gem tries to incubate itself again wouldn’t they become “overcooked” like Amethyst?
I think that’s only for the first formation
Maybe she was overcooked because she was incubating in a piece of land with its resources already drained
@@OurLadyOfDesiderium why would that be a thing?
They were going for quantity over quality.
Jasper was the lucky one maybe other gems on other worlds got the quality treatment like Jasper.
@@DB-bq6zc yeah but jasper was from the beta kindergarten, amethyst was from the good kindergarten, as someone already said i think amethyst was in the ground so long that there were not enough resources left
Amethyst stayed in the ground too long and came out defective...
This video isn't about over incubation. It's about incubating multiple times, not just once (and not for a longer amount of time). These two things are completely different, so Amethyst being overcooked does not disprove this theory.
@@ToonRuinsOfficial Ah, guess I missed that wording.
Lea C. You said “they continue to grow if they continue to incubate” 5:03
Blue also states that White Diamond has been on homeworld for EONS, presumably incubating. Amethyst had been incubating much less than that obviously
well also white diamond is older than yellow and blue and likely there was a time where it was only white diamond, and thus there is history that blue and yellow might not have been around for.
If Diamonds incubate in different mineral veins than their gems, that would fix the Amethyst plot hole. The diamonds would have access to specific minerals and resources, possibly organic fossil fuel deposits, as all known living species contain some form of carbon atoms, like diamonds. It would be an interesting parallel to humans destroying our own environment by harvesting and overusing our fossil fuels. It might also explain why the planet in jungle moon doesn't look like a completed colony. Yellow could have sucked all the energy from the planet before the colony was completed, leaving no materials behind to give new gems life.
I vaguely remember Peridot saying something about Homeworld being out of resources and them having to quickly make Peridots and bc they were rushed (and thus had less time to incubate) they came without obvious powers and strength. This theory might explain why Peridot is so small without her limb enhancers.
ahhh that's my fanart !! tysm for the feature ! I'm so happy you liked it
Makoninah how much experience do you have in creating art??? The artwork you made shown in the video is great!
a lot ! if you're interested, I have commissions open right now over on my tumblr at makoninah !! makoninah.tumblr.com/post/176173556327/hello-my-commissions-are-open-again-i
Now im wondering what if the diamonds are being controlled by someone more powerful like silver and silvers being controlled by gold
Nice art dude/dudette
I used to full heartedly believe this theory, but something Peridot said during the Cluster arc popped into my head. It could just be that Blue and Yellow were made on Homeworld, either at the same time; making them twins, or blue emerged slightly after yellow. Homeworld would’ve been rich with resources at the beginning. Heck, Peridot mentions that the reason she’s not like Era 1 Peridots is because Homeworld is losing resources, thus she is an Era 2 creation. It’s incredible to think that Homeworld STILL has enough resources to make a fully functioning Gem, even though her size is small and powers semi-limited.
I think the “birth” of Pink Diamond began the second Era of Homeworld. After her, other gems created on Homeworld were much smaller. It could be the reason why Rubies are so small, despite having a warrior status. There seems to be a fair amount of big gems, like Bisumith and Agates. Wouldn’t it make sense for these gems to be warriors over Rubies? Rubies who always need a group in order to go to any form of combat? It’s likely that Era 1 Rubies were big, strong, and capable on their own, but in Era 2, Rubies got smaller. They were still cast as warriors because, well, they’re still Rubies. As for Sapphires, why would you waste extra resources creating a gem who’s sole purpose is to predict the future? Although, that’s really all I can say about them
Great theory, however the timeline is slightly wrong. Pink diamond was born in the era 1 and she CAUSED era 2. Since she started a war and basically won, Earth was an unsuccessful colony and millions of gems were lost, so new gems (like peridot) had to be created on Homeworld. At this point Homeworld was pretty much sucked dry of resources, but still somehow managed to squeeze out new gems, which were severely compromised of their abilities like peridot.
I know this video is pretty old and the show already concluded, but I am still very interested in the show and I like to debate theories ^-^.
because telling the future is sick and cool
Our Ruby has to be an Era 1 ruby (era 2 started when pink died) so I don't think your theory is correct.
This would make sense which it kinda does however as was stated by the people above me, pink diamonds “shattering” IS what caused era 2. When Steven goes to home world and they all think he’s pink diamond, era 3 begins as if to celebrate “ pink diamonds” return to homeworld.
I personally think that the cut/facet and whatnot of the gem also helps their actual size, seeing as Lapis is taller, like her gem because it's elongated, and then say, Amethyst's is short and stubby like her form. Garnet is a fusion so she is two short gems put into one larger and taller gem. This is just my view. Could be wrong!
It is due to the amounts and types of minerals and nutrients around from where they emerged, as Peridot stated. Which is why some of the amethysts from the human zoo were taller and shorter; they emerged in different areas with varying minerals and nutrients. You could argue that yes, those with more and better minerals or nutrients will emerge bigger, which might have occurred when the diamonds originally formed, I just think incubation between planets after the fact is unlikely.
Remember that Lapis was made on Homeworld while Amethyst was made on Earth, so the materials may differ
Or maybe the placement of their gem too? Cuz white is tall and her gem is at her head. Idk this could be wrong 2
I always thought that homeworld being split in half was the result of the gems using as many resources on their planet as possible. Hence they split open the planet to harvest the minerals in its core for more kindergartens
Just realized something. In the plans for the Earth colony, it shows the core of the planet branching out into towers on the surface of the planet. Those towers show some sort of wave leaving the tower and heading out towards space. Maybe the towers take energy from the core, convert it to another form, and then send that power to Homeworld or it’s outlying colonies to, well, POWER them!
Iiiii dunno. If the Diamonds "incubate" from their planets, why do Yellow and Pink (that we have seen) manage the planets instead of actually using the power? When would Pink have taken that chunk out of Russia? And if Diamonds are designed to grow, why was Pink (now Rose Quartz) so fixated on the ability of humans to grow and change? If your theory is correct, she would already know about growing and changing. The other Diamonds wouldn't have kept that from her.
BTMotley and the fact that amethyst was in for a long time
Agreed. I still think Pink was defective like Amethyst is.
Because they drain some power but leave the rest maybe
Maybe they need to succeed the colonization process then incubate?
And Pink could mean growing as in changing as a person, "growing up". Even if she would grow in size and authority, she'd still maintain her personality as everyone is taught in Homeworld that they can't change.
Gems don't grow, and have no reason to. I think it is much more likely that the diamonds were made under very special and very specific circumstances, and came out larger because they were diamonds, not necessarily because they were incubating planet after planet. Though, say if a diamond was forming on a new planet, because they are a diamond, they might have taken all the minerals from the entire planet themselves and then emerged as a diamond, but I don't think they grow by colonizing other planets and absorbing their minerals. That would be too convoluted I think
When u incubate too long, u become small like ameythst
She didn't have enough recources
Udo Ka I don’t think she incubated long enough.
alus nova
She was referred to as overcooked, staying in the ground too long.
Im pretty sure the only reason White was glowing was because she was in her ship (since her ship is just her head and upper body). The same thing happened in the same episode when we saw Steven's legs get a pink glow over them because the ship was the waist and lower body. As for the diamonds being as tall as they are because of how many colonies they have, those murals arent exactly accurate as to how many colonies the diamonds have today. The murals were made as part of the moon base and would have been made around 6k years prior to when we see them. Not to mention how Yellow hasnt grown in size at all from how she appeared in the flashback compared to her size today.
thi would make sense, but in change your mind when she's turned pink we can see she isnt glowing as brightly, however, she is still controlling her ship. Also, steven's glow was a visible line around his lower body. not his entire body, as we see with white. Even her feet are glowing.
I think White Diamond IS Homeworld, although I really like your idea, as well! I think it has a lot of validity. So, in my theory, as opposed to her being the queen bee, she'd be the hive, itself. I only think that because of the amount of planets, under her domain.
She's also, the oldest and the most established. Perhaps, her techniques in harvesting and conducting her business aren't the same, as the other diamonds. Perhaps, she's the old fashion way of doing things which were super effective and the other diamonds are the newer, more up to date versions. If you think about it, this idea really works, if you think of them as TVs.
My first impression of White was she reminded of the old black and white movies. Her voice pattern, style and verbal tone reminds you of the old Hollywood stars, from the silver age of movies and the old tube tvs in the floor console. Meanwhile, Yellow and Blue are the the contemporaries of years, thereafter. While they're still rather sizable and big, are smaller than White. Then there is, Pink, who is the smallest of all the TVs. That's because she's not a TV, at all. She's like a device, aka a laptoo, phone, tablet. It's like they went from black and white, literally to color.
And what were the portray color schemes for TV? Black, white and gray and yellow, cyan and magenta!
So, their size could literally be a visual representation of the technological development of the diamond authority. While, the colors were their natural change through their expansion of the gem domain. IDK I'm just spitballing here!!!
Nobody:
White diamond: *N E C C C C C*
My personal belief is that Pink is smaller because she's a third generation Diamond. White is a first. Blue and Yellow are both second. By the time Pink emerged, most of the resources of Homeworld had already been taken in by the other three Diamonds. This is why she's the runt of the litter. It's even possible White had a contingency plan to grow another Pink on some colonized world. Think of this: Peridot is a third generation gem who lacks the usual gifts other gems have (until she developed her metal power) and can't shapeshift. She has to rely mostly on technology to compensate. It's because by the time she was made, much of the resources on Homeworld had been depleted, thus the scrambling for the Diamonds to find a new Homeworld among their colonies. It's possible Pink was the canary in the coal mine. As soon as she emerged, the other Diamonds knew it was just a matter of time before they had to transfer their home base to another planet. This is why colonization became so important and why they could afford to pay attention to a little nothing colony like Earth, rather than just dismiss it after the rebellion began. It wasn't some wound to royal pride, but rather more practical necessity. Even the Cluster experiment may have been part of this effort.
One thing I remember that goes against this is that Amethyst is small because she stood too long in the ground, not too little. Peridot says this multiple times.
I especially like this theory because it explains why PD went from her tantrum and being a bratty child to a suddenly mature teen or young adult. She finally got her nutrients from her first planet. That might explain Russia. If she had taken the whole planet, not just a country/landmass, she could very well have grown physically as well as mentally. I honestly think that yellow especially would treat Pd different had she finished the colony. Not because pink proved herself, but because she grew up so to speak. Like... you scold your 8 year old for using a swear word and put them on time out. When they’re 14, you scold them. When they’re 20, you just ask them to please watch their language as it’s not your preference. People treat other people accordingly based on age so I think you’re spot on.
Remember in "So many birthdays" when steven changed age stages based on his emotional state? what if the longer a diamond or any other gem lives and the more "mature" the gem is as far as state of mind, the bigger and more imposing a figure it can present itself when the projection of light is reformed after say, poofing? Case in point amethyst being able to make herself so many different sizes and forms upon reforming, pearl changing her outfit (though thats a lesser example) pink diamond reforming herself as rose quartz permanently after faking her shattering could be an example as well. what if pink blue and yellow diamonds sizes/forms are just a projection of their actual state of mind and not necessarily related to actual hierarchy or authority? That would mean that the reason she (pink) is so small is because of the way she'd been made to think of herself by having all the other diamonds look down on her like they did? Just my thoughts.
My therapist: Giraffe white diamond doesn't exist, she can't hurt you.
The thumbnail:
If Steven Universe happened on Australia, we would have TONS OF LITERAL OPALS
Think about it:
Amethysts and rose quartzes grow in purple rock
Topazes, jaspers, and carnelians grow from red-orange rock
Would diamonds grow in carbon-rich rock? The carbon-rich rock of Homeworld?
Your theories are always so unique and original, you NEED more subs!
While I appreciate your bee analogy, the information on the stinger is incorrect. Queen bees still have stingers, the difference is a queen's stinger is not barbed. Royal jelly allows the larvae to overcome the phermone/hormone supression that comes from other queens. If there are no queens worker bees will lay drone eggs.
ik i'm late, but no. worker bees never lay eggs. drone eggs come into existance when an egg is not fertlized. that's the only way it would make evolutionary sense.
an unferlilized eggs is a drone, a fertilized egg is a worker bee and a fertilized egg, later fed with royal jelly, is a queen bee.
*Sees White diamond with long neck*
*click*
*theories*
I'm out
This actually makes so much sense in my opinion. Despite the fact it's known that there are some continuity errors in the show with heights and designs, from Jungle Moon to a Single Pale Rose pink appears to have grown taller. While some could debunk it as it just being to do with who storyboards I think it would make far more sense with this explanation! It would also make sense with the fact that geographically a lot of the earth in SU is different to our earth, like a huge chunk of Russia not existing and Iceland but existing at all. But this is just my opinion!
This is the smartest Steven Universe theory I've seen on TH-cam.
Its pretty interesting how White Diamond calls pink diamond *starlight* . I think its because she is controlled by the creators of the gem species.AKA SNEEPLE and maybe they call the diamonds stars
Did you ever notice how it also parallels Marty calling Greg "starchild"? Gives it more manipulative connotations.
That or it's just a gem compliment...
I call them snake people or reps. for short. They are the most underrated and undeveloped characters all in the Steven universe. Though, not all of them are bad, as villainy goes. They can make the most terrifying villains you will ever see, love to be hate. The alien race survive through eugenics force and gene speed change. It's dark.
In the thumbnail that
candace-neck white diamond 😂
N e c c
It's a pretty good theory, and the main support is how the other gems treat defective or lesser gems. If you see a gem that comes out even kinda wrong you throw it in the garbage (shatter). Why would they keep a defective diamond??? They'd just throw it away like they do the rest.
Bruh white didn’t break homeworld, in order for a colony to be completed holes will apear in the planet and it just so happens that homeworlds finished colony breaks it in half.
If you don’t believe me then refer to the episode where garnet,pearl,amethyst,steven and peridot went to the moon base
When I heard that the Diamonds their Rank is correlative to their height I couldn't stop myself from thinking of Zim screaming:" MYY TAAALLLLEST!!"
What if the irkin went to war with the gems. Who would win
@@ricardoramos4514 The Gems, obviously. They are taller.
Hello, Starlight!
I quickly want to just say that near the end of Steven Universe, the scene where white diamond pulls stevens gem out. That she herself said that she had to be perfect. I think this is interresting considering she is( in theory ) in charge of pretty much everything so could this mean that there is another higher species that made the diamonds and the rules? And if so are they still even around?
I wonder how this theory will hold now that Steven was seen acquiring a kaiju size without fusion.
Well, this kinda lines up with my theory that Earth was meant to be a diamond producing colony because Homeworld had run out of the carbon necessary to build diamonds after Pink (which also explains why she's small, there just wasn't enough left to make her bigger). Interesting thoughts here and pretty likely in my mind to be correct.
that's actually interesting. what if the reason why the diamonds don't have that many planets than they should is because they need planets that have carbon? it could also be the reason why the planets they colonize tend to have life.
This actually aligns with a theory that I myself though of, and builds on it a little. Basically, I think that, piggybacking off of how we treat gemstones in the real world, diamonds aren't TRULY so rare- There's a false scarcity. When diamonds are found in kindergartens, they're shattered, usually, to maintain the idea that diamonds are so unique or rare. However, taking this into account, I think, instead, that maybe they're common on planets just starting out- This doesn't say Pink Diamond came from Earth, but that maybe she was one of the last gems to come out of a previous colony, and she was then... Noticed, I suppose, and she started to grow as a result of the acquisition of her own colony. Diamonds are simply shattered (and likely "harvested", something that Peridot mentions when she sees the Temple's room full of bubbles) unless they attract attention like that, and this is a bit of a stretch, since I'm sort of connecting loose(ish) ends with this last bit, but perhaps the "harvested" diamonds are either recycled back into material for other gems or even consumed by the diamond controlling the colony, which allows them to grow in a similar way to perhaps how it was mentioned White Diamond might be feeding off of Homeworld, though obviously, not exactly in the same manner.
But that's just my two cents. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
Amethyst was over incubated and become a dwarf theory out the window
This video isn't about over incubation. It's about incubating multiple times, not just once (and not for a longer amount of time).
ikr exactly what i was thinking
Also, gems do grow. Looking at amethyst when she reforms during the movie and when we see her in flashbacks, vs how she is later in the show. She grows taller. Not an age thing but she definitely does grow bigger

Dude's from the future, or knows someone who has access to the super exclusive elite early press copies of the show. Lucky bastards.
any of us would KILL to see the episodes before release
White Diamond could still be giving energy to Homeworld if only to keep it from falling apart.
YEEES SU CONTENT. FINALLY. THERE IS NOT MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW SO THIS IS VIDEO WILL BE 10 TIMES MORE ENTERTAINING FOR ME
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE IN TERMS OF WHITE TAKING IN ENERGY!!!! Think about it, whenever white is in her head, she glows, and you couldn't even see her gem at one point. But when she shoots her lasers to change your mind, you can see her jawline, and her face is outlined like normal
It's hilarious that the gem society seems to have similar approaches to hierarchy to the Irken empire, what with height being indicative of power.
Maybe that's why they look different from their murals. Thats how they looked when they got done..... Incubating I guess
The murals were pretty accurate save for not showing the size differences, what do you mean?
I have a theory, white made diamond gems but they weren’t like.. the gems that form yet, white is so emotionless because she passed her emotins to the other diamonds, and thats why pink is so small, because white’s joy is super small.
I'm pretty sure gems can just grow normally, in flashbacks as well as old tapes, we see baby Amethyst, who's got shorter hair and is smaller than before
My head cannon on why the planet is torn apart is it’s the diamonds kindergarten. The planet gave life to four sentient rocks. The white one came out first, then the yellow and blue diamonds came, but the red one didn’t. This explains why pink is pink and not the obvious red. It was only later the over baked runty off color pink. Like amethyst. This also explains why the diamonds hate off colors, it’s a sign of their imperfections. Furthermore, a catastrophic agent like a Diamond emerging is why the planet is destroyed.
I think you have some interesting thoughts, but that you've looked over someone that breaks your theory: Amethyst. She stayed in the ground and became smaller than normal amethysts, not bigger. If your hypothesis says that a gem can get bigger the longer they absorb nutrients, Amethyst is your breaking point
maybe its because the kindergarten was already drained of all the resources and abandoned
@@anoobisgames2310 I suppose anythings possible. It's something to take into account
I love how deep every Steven universe TH-camr go when talking about somethingz
I'd love to see you cover the recurring eye motif we keep seeing in SU and what it could mean! From Steven Jr.'s missing eye to White Pearl's broken one, and even to those alternate Connies with the eye patches. :0
back with the color idea and the light spectrum: I think that Pink is smaller because she is on the side of the spectrum is low energy side whereas the colors blue, yellow, and white are higher energy therefore can be much bigger. The fact that Yellow Diamond is slightly bigger than Blue must be due to the amount of colonies since yellow is a lower energy color in comparison to blue.
What if Pink's colony was supposed to become the new Homeworld for the Gems? Even Peridot stated that her final result was supposed to be well thought out and complex.
What if there is a “secret diamond recipe’ and a group of rouge gems found it somehow and decided to re-create another diamond and that’s what the new Steven universe movie is about. Except of course this new group would be a new society of gems trying to collect planets for their new evil diamond.... lol
you also have to wonder how homeworld still has an atmosphere, and how it gets replenished
Carbon, what is diamond, carbon, sucking the carbon for the air, carbon dioxide, bye, bye and say hello to double Oxygen.
This is an interesting theory, but I’ve seen another theory (about the future series) that kind of goes against this, saying that pink is responsible for homeworld being torn in half. I forgot who came up with that theory, but this one is just as good. Which one makes more sense though…
I think it's cool that the only thing that disproves this with the information we have gathered since the video was made is that pink diamond seemed to have the most abilities overall
This makes me confused: if Pink was in charge of the Earth & Moon colonies, might that mean she created humans?
Humans had already existed by the time pink was gifted earth.
Amethyst is so small because she was "overcooked" or, I guess, over-incubated.
So white Diamond is eating homeworld?
diamond: NOM NOM NOM GIMMIE THE PLANETS
I’ve thought the same thing, but you explained it better than what I thought
In the art book it was reveald that the diamond emigrged from a planet that looks like home world
Also the first time we see Pink Diamond, she is alot smaller than in "A Single Pale Rose"
the growing thing makes sense:
we know by Jungle Moon's dream sequence PD was around Stevonnie's height at that time by the cracked window, yet in Can't Go Back's flashback, which is set after, she is significantly taller than Pearl (who Stevonnie is only a bit taller than). This can be chalked up to this theory: after Jungle Moon when she got Earth she grew.
Man, I don't know what to think of this idea. I just want Andy's little Yellow Diamond to be canon.
what ?

This is an amazing theory I really like it, it makes so much sense that after colonizing a planet a Diamond would make it their own by absorbing some component of it thereby becoming larger and more powerful. It's sort of clear Pink is the youngest as Yellow talks about her "not being ready" rather than not built for it. One thing that is worth mentioning is that I don't think incubation really impacts much of a gem since Amethyst is seen as defective rather than super powerful for her over long time, instead I feel like a Diamond would sort of absorb the energy of a planet. But that's just my take and this is a really eye opening theory that I sort of want to say if they don't include it in the show then the show is wrong.
I think this theory can definitely apply to Diamonds, but not regular Gems. Amethyst is living breathing proof of it to. She claims that she (And I quote) "So I stayed in the ground too long. Got a little smushed." Which means that there's probably a certain time period to the incubation process that could be different for some gems. Maybe like how the reformation process is different for some gems. Amethyst reforms faster because quartz soldiers are meant for war, and need to reform quickly, where as more fragile gems like pearl take much longer because they don't need to come back as quickly.
Perhaps Diamonds indeed need the energy of planets to sustain their form and grow their gem a bit.
though, I feel like there could indeed be an argument against this, pertaining to how Rose talks to greg about how humans have the ability to grow and change overtime. She talks about the topic about how foreign the idea was as if she really wasn't meant to grow up on home world. And this can be seen again when Pearl cries over baby Steven, about how the whole growing and changing bit was unnatural to gems. And you would think that because she was a Diamonds pearl she wold have known that Pink Diamond was supposed to grow the more planets she 'Consumed'
About their ranking: don't forget their control panel arrangement, white on top, yellow blue next, and pink at bottom.
ooh this would also explain why in jungle moon when stevonnie dreams that they're pink diamond, the two are the same size (and stevonnie is just a little taller than pearl), but later we see pink being GIGANTIC (several times pearl's size), and that is after she gets earth
remember when peridot said resources are dwindling in homeworld? maybe whites on,y bigger cuz she was,
presumably one of the first gems and when she was made she took up a bigger amount of earth maybe excessively cuz they had a lot of land to waste on themselves, and when they wanted to make more they started scaling down the soace they needed to grow gems to make space for more gems. This explains why pink is the smallest cuz she was made last i assume. but this is just my theory ╮(∪^∪)╭
i agree cuz on jungle moon we see a broken up planets that was under yellows control
Not to forget when steven talked to yellow diamond she told him that she have hundreds of successful gem colonies
I feel like this video unnecessarily complicates this. Home world broke because it was drained of all minerals, like other planets will be drained. White diamond doesn't leave because she's in a kind of depression / denial / deep isolation / apathy. Also their size in relation to white makes sense as they were all once a part of her, and the size of those parts + minerals etc determined their size
My theory is It may also be possible that White diamond stole pink's energy like at one point the 4 diamonds were all the same, but while they were incubating, white diamonds gem stole alot of the energy that was supposed to be given to pink diamond, but blue and yellows size is the normal diamond size because they incubated normally, while white is bigger because of this.
2:15... Invader Zim vibes? My Tallest White, Yellow and Blue... Elite Invader Pink is finally sent to colonize Earth... Ends up staying on Earth for a very long time
I just realised something. Why? Why do they make more gems? To get More colonies? They use colonies to make more gems.
White wants more power but its not like a rebellion is going to happen *again* right? Having more planets just creates more gems that can rebel.
Is this ever explained?
I always felt, and still do that homeworld is where white diamond came from orginally, and that's why it's almost completely destroyed.
I personally think that Pink Diamond cracked it. As we know pink diamond/rose quartz had anger and temper issues. We saw in Steven Universe Future that Steven ended up in a creature, because of his feelings and anger. That anger was originated from his mom Pink Diamond. When white diamond talked with pink steven wondering where pink is, pink steven said "She's gone" and then created an explosion that cracked th inside of white's head. We'll I think that that was nothing and homeworld is cracked, because of the true power of pink diamond the biggest anger that she could ever experience. White diamond took the credit just to make homeworld "perfect"
and to make people obey her rules and to fear her, to look at her as she's a perfect and flawless lider.
I love looking at old therorys.
OMG its right there in white's mural! She is holding home world together.
Was it just me, or did Pink seem Smaller in Jungle Moon? I'm wondering if Diamonds grow.
rebecca makes sure to stay to irl gem stereotypes, either doing the same or the opposite. with amethyst she wouldve been better and non defective if the resources there were available, but they werent because of the other gems using it up. so i think this is true, especially since how the longer/slower a gem forms its crystals, the larger those crystals are, but there of course would be a limit
i think their difference in size is duo to the low resources on homeworld [that if all the diamond were made on homeworld] with each diamond emergence the resources got lower and lower. white was the first to be made thats why she is the biggest and has most authority sec theres yd then bd and finally pd
Gem creation sounds/looks just like fracking
It is said that White is the original diamond matriarch. She made the other diamond from her own parts. Yellow and Blue are her perfect creations while Pink is technically not deffective but White just doesn't have enough parts to make Pink as large as the others
My theory was always a bit more of an Occam's razor situation. We've seen what gems being cooked does to a planet on a small scale. What if Homeworld is shattered because gems - specifically, diamonds - were made there? If White Diamond formed naturally there to kick off gemkind, quite probably similarly to how diamonds occur on Earth, it makes sense that it had an absolutely devastating impact on the original planet. The Earth kindergartens we've seen generate primarily Quartzes and Quartzes are just about the biggest individual species of gems we've seen excluding the Diamonds - even then, they aren't even that powerful. They're rudimentary and irreversibly destroyed Earth's ecosystem on Kindergarten land. Imagine the strain that that producing a DIAMOND - an extremely powerful, extremely large gem - puts on a planet. It could very well destroy it entirely. It could also explain why the diamonds decreased in size and power over time. They were straining Homeworld beyond belief producing diamonds until it literally broke, so they were putting less resources into diamonds the more were made. Of course we know that the infastructure there is already pretty unstable - so many holes in the foundation of the planet. I don't think it'd take very much to break something that unstable.
amethyst started out small but gotten bigger.
So basically what you are saying , Homeworld looks broken because she's taking all the energy from it to be more powerful, and that's why she doesn't move. She is like a wire to Homeworld and connected to it. and if she's the most powerful gem/diamond, then she wants to keep her power to use her powers for mind control (her pearl) and other things. maybe this is also why her head is all lit up and we can't see her gemstone, or this could possibly be some illlusion. and if she is sucking up all of Homeworld's energy, this could be why it's falling apart.
It could also be the reason why pink diamond is smaller in the first episode we saw her than she is when she got our pearl
The whole gems powered by planets seems likely because when white is standing still she is glowing but when she moves she is not(although this might just be the creators showing this as a metaphor as in her glow is her pride)
The homeworld planet reminds of the planet cybertron
I just notice something... In the episode Your Mother And Mine (Season 5) when Garnet was telling the story of Rose Quartz to the off-colors, there were planets that show that what planet did each diamond colonized. But in coincidence, White Diamond's planet was similar to the present Homeworld now. Think again twice.
I always thought homeworld looked like a geode that was split open
This makes more sense than powering homeworld, especially when now pink and white are kinda seen as opposites; pink gave life and white takes it away?
Maybe just MAYBE white diamond is the image of “perfect” and wants the other people to be like her and Rebeca even said that white is like a “super ego” and blue and yellow are “egos” while pink is a (I forgot what it’s named)which means pink is like a toddler, or a bit like a boomer, she dose not want to change her idea of saving the earth while yellow and blue the egos try to satisfy the want (pink) as much as she can. Super egos if you don’t know is like an adult, feeling guilt for something the want did or in this case what pink did, the egos are like teens trying to satisfy the want as I said b. Pink is basically the opposite of white.
this theory that gems grow with incubation has been proven wrong in the episode "Now We're Only Falling Apart" when it is confirmed that amethist from crystal gems has been considered defective due to her staying in the ground for too long - therefore, the incubation process lasting too long can lead to defects.
I had the assumption that White Diamond was just a hologram when we saw her, as we never really saw her gem. so you could be correct, except she's in a different area.
