      ​@@ShurouInu Exactly! I really dislike it when people refer to Pearl as a slave. It was so clear that Rose didn't treat Pearl as a slave and actively told her that she isn't bound to her anymore and constantly encouraged her to follow her own path. It's especially evident with Pearl lines like "Why can't you just let me do this for you Rose?!" which tell us that Rose discouraged blind devotion from Pearl. At that point Pearl wasn't following Rose out of obligation but out of love. For people to call it a slave/master dynamic is just incredibly reductive and doesn't encapsulate the nuances of their relationship. It just shows a severe lack of understanding of the characters and their relationships to each other.

This episode changed everything, the "Rose is Pink Diamond" theory was something that people considered very early on like in season 2 but after that became the primal "joke theory" of the fandom because of how outlandish it was, how many plotholes it had etc and everybody used it to mock Steven Universe theorists, so when it actually came true everyone was losing their minds

    Pearls forms in nature in layers, so it makes sense the part of the pearl inside other pearls.
    This means that Steven is a diamond.
    This explains why Steven has so much powers and himself being so powerful and strong. And this also explains why Pearl hasn’t shapeshifted in any instance since “shattering” Pink Diamond.
    Men this is THE best episode of SU, I remember when I was and what was doing when this episode came out, the shock in my face. There was theories since the second season that Rose was Pink but everyone in the fanbase thought it was stupid and impossible, but if you pay attention there’s clues in a lot of episodes. Can’t wait for next episodes, and then the movie and Future, I’m going to cry all day watching this episodes again 😭

      "This explains why Steven has so much powers"
      While I agree that this is a decent enough explanation on paper, when you really stop and look at it, I still don't think it makes too much sense. Steven/Rose/Pink has a disproportionately high number of powers, even when compared to the other Diamonds.
      Yellow Diamond really only has the electricity thing (until Future, but no spoilers here).
      Blue can cause nearby Gems to cry.
      And then we look at Steven/Rose/Pink, who has:
      - The Shield (but that's a given, seeing as how most other Gems have a weapon).
      - The Bubble (with optional spikes and also that thing he did to save Eyeball in the season 3 finale).
      - Healing tears/spit (that can also make sentient plants)
      - Floating/slow fall
      - Dream walking (and, by way of that, possession)
      - That thing in Steven Universe Future that I won't mention because of spoilers.
      There might be more, but that's all I can remember.
      (And I'm not going to talk in-depth about White because, again, no spoilers, but even she only has the one power.)
      I like this show quite a lot; I really do. But it still has many flaws, and I believe Steven's overpowered nature is one of them.

  • @Denf0
    @Denf0 2 ปีที่แล้ว +89

    Pink Diamond is, at the most basic level, a metaphor for generational trauma. Her predecessor instilled an inherently evil set of values into her generation and (as is often the case in real life) since she was the youngest, she was the best equipped to rebel once she discovered a better way. However, her situation didn't allow for a total overhaul of the system she was raised in (despite her best efforts), so she had to do something drastic in order to bring about the change she thought was necessary. Enter Rose Quartz, the "first generation" of a better way. She had no precedent to go off of and no history to learn from, so everything she did was pretty much an off-the-cuff decision only informed by her not wanting things to stay the same. Naturally that meant that many of her decisions did not turn out well, but she felt she had to stand by them because to do otherwise would be the same as admitting her motivations were wrong, which she wouldn't allow herself to do. That allowed her to stabilize the chaos caused by her initial transformation, but it wasn't enough to keep the situation from going back to how it was before, so she had to make another drastic transformation in order to finish what she started. She learned from the first time that she alone did not have what was needed in order to fully achieve her dream, so she took what she learned from homeworld and the rebellion, and combined it with humanity's ability to adapt and change - and became Steven. A lot of what she did wasn't fair to those around her, least of all to Steven, but ultimately it was their shared belief in her cause that allowed them to achieve the impossible in the end. Were all of her actions "good"? No, in fact I would say the majority caused undue suffering to her friends & allies. But was she "evil"? Of course not. She was just Pink. Just Rose. Just someone who saw that things weren't right, and had the motivation & the means to change them.

      She was not always the best person but she was never evil and wanted to the best for everyone and tried her best to make that happen and make those changes, meanwhile growing and changing herself. It takes a long time to break out of a mindset you grew up with like the diamonds enforce.

  • @LooDoesStuff
    @LooDoesStuff 2 ปีที่แล้ว +322

    In light of the revelation in A Single Pale Rose, I'd like to make a list of all foreshadowing/interesting info to look back into with this revelation in mind.
    - in Jungle Moon, when Steven and Connie got stranded, they were both having a shared dream about their moms
    - Pearl's space uniform in the season 1 episode where she tries to take Steven to space has a pink diamond symbol in it, much life homeworld gem's uniforms which indicate what diamond they belong to
    - Since she received an order from her Diamond to not speak of what happened (with Pink covering her mouth when giving it), every time she got close to talking about anything relating to it or hears about it, she unwillingly covered her own mouth violently, you can notice that in a bunch of other episodes (when eyeball Ruby tells Steven that Pink was shattered, when Pearl was trying to comfort Steven when Connie wasn't talking to him, when Steven turned himself in to Aquamarine, etc). Poor Pearl was physically bound from ever revealing their secret and the weight of it all was a lot to bear
    - Pearl seems much more justified in episodes like "Rose's Scabbard" when we look back at it now, when she said "You never had what we had" and etc. It's all much more understandable now. Not only were they lovers, but she was the only person in the world who truly knew everything about Rose/Pink and knew the truth about what happened
    - Pearl never shapeshifts because she's traumatized after doing it for their fake shattering of Pink Diamond, taht's why we never saw her shapeshift in the show
    - She knew about the moon base and the zoo, and (I'll say this knowing that you already finished the main series on Patreon) the moon base was originally Pink's, to observe the colonization of Earth. The diamonds always make bases on the moons of the planets that they're colonizing (like the one seen in Jungle Moon, when Steven and Connie got stranded on that moon of that planet colonized by Yellow, where they had that dream)
    - Steven/Rose were too strong to simply be a quartz, with healing tears, astral projection, plants, a bubble, etc and all of that not counting Rose's main weapon- her shield. So it makes much more sense for Steven/Rose to be a Diamond
    - The lyrics of the song "Love Like You" which are theorized to be from Rose's POV : "I always thought I might be bad, now I know that it's true, cause I think you're so good' and I'm nothing like you"
    - In "Mr Greg", during the "Both of You" song that Steven sings in the piano for Greg and Pearl, Greg is lighted in Yellow and Pearl in Blue, and Steven in Pink, giving double meaning both to Steven relationship with Pearl and Greg and Pink's relationship with Yellow and Blue, "You both love me and I love both of you”
    - In “Three Gems and a Baby”, the flashback episode to when Steven was a baby, when Greg opens Steven’s onesie where his gem is so it can “breathe”, the unbuttoned hole forms a diamond around his gem
    - The attorney gem during the trial was correct! Only a Diamond could've done this and pulled it off, and she was right! It was an inside job, just not in the way that we were expecting
    - Also during the trial, Blue said that Rose's sword was what shattered Pink, but that wouldn't make any sense because during Bismuth's first episode she revealed that the sword could only break the physical form of a gem but never shatter the gem itself, so that didn't make any sense
    - The different Pearls inside Pearl represent the layers of her subconscious mind. Pearl told Steven to go inside her Pearl because it was the only way for him to know the truth, she physically wasn’t able to tell him as much as she wanted to, having to speak in “code” in this episode : “there are some things I *can’t* tell you, but what I *can* tell you is that I need my phone”
    - When Fluorite said “Don’t be silly- Rose Quartz isn’t real” she was technically right. (Our) Rose Quartz was never real. She was just Pink Diamond’s alter ego.
    This show is simply brilliant. This episode changed everything.

    What’s interesting about Rose/Pink Diamond’s story arc is that it’s REVERSED. We saw her development first so we see her as this perfect being but then we get to see some of her past and her flaws. That’s why I disagree with people hating on Rose so much. She started off as a child but grew into the character we know in the start. She’s not entirely bad and entirely good, much like all of us.

    Dude.... Pink Diamond became Rose Quartz. She was always pink diamond but she hated being a diamond so she changed her identity. And Pearl only pretended to be Rose so the other diamonds would think she "killed" Pink Diamond. When she didn't. And then Pink, masquerading as her new identity as Rose would later go on to be the mother of Steven.

  • @kingjwhit8812
    @kingjwhit8812 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    This show is so genius when you realize that a lot of the facts and abilities of the gems are based on real life gemstones, and in real life only a diamond can cut diamond. And remember Bismuth described that she made Rose's sword to never be able to damage the gem itself, thus making the breaking point later on.

  • @potatohuevos2269
    @potatohuevos2269 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

  • @lautaroaguilera2672
    @lautaroaguilera2672 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Roes Quartz never existed, it was just an 'Alter Ego' that Pink created to go unnoticed, so yeah, Roes Quartz is just a non-existent form, it was always Pink Diamond. Pink Diamond had to fake her death in order to save the earth and her entire army, that's why Pearl covered her mouth in so many episodes, the instinct of pearls is to follow the orders of their diamonds, and as Pink told her: "Please Let's never talk about this, no one can know" Pearl couldn't say anything.
    This also implies that not only was Roes all this time pink diamond, but NOW steven is a diamond since he has his gem. Plus that Pearl never dared to change her form, because it brought back a bad memory of when she chose Roes' form to fake Pink's death.

    You’ll find out in the next episode
    But to put it simply in this episode
    Pink Diamond shapeshifted into a quartz
    So she can live a life on Earth
    But in order to be on Earth permanently is to fake her shattering so she swallowed some fake shards and have pearl shape-shift into Rose Quartz in able to fake it
    So once she regenerated back
    She will be Rose permanently
    And once she was about to have Steven
    She gave up her form to create Steven
    Which is why they both can’t exist

      It's especially true when you consider almost all soldier gems have cuts like Garnet, Amethysts and other quartzes- there's absolutely no way SOMEONE wouldn't have noticed a diamond coming out of a rose quartz.

  • @joealonzo6857
    @joealonzo6857 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You gotta remember, Lapis is a survivor of an unimaginable amount of trauma, and she still finds the courage to do the right thing many times even in spite of her fears. She spent thousands of years trapped in a mirror, believing everyone forgot about her. The first person she met was Steven. They had probably 5 minutes of interaction together before she was captured by Jasper and Peridot, who then imprisoned her again. After finally being freed by Steven and the Gems, she immediately decided to take one for the team and spent another couple of seasons trapped in an abusive relationship with Jasper so she could save the only ones who seemed to care for her. She had the courage to not only forgive Peridot (her one time captor), but allowed herself to be vulnerable enough to actually trust her and become her best friend. That's the kind of person/gem that's worth the extra effort to fight for when they're scared. You can never waste enough time on a person who's shown that kind of character. She's literally my favorite in the show.

  • @PuccaLover15

    I still remember my reaction. I was in my college dorm watching it on tv. I never dismissed the "Rose is Pink" theory (not after Gravity Falls and started believing all theories just in case) but it did seem a little farfetched yet I did see everyones points. So when Rose said to Pearl "I can't exactly shatter myself", I was like "Wait, what? (suspiciously) What did she mean by that?". And then the reveal! When Rose revealed herself to be Pink, I was ready to scream!!! I wanted to pause but couldn't and I had to keep the freaking out in because I needed to watch more. I had to cover my mouth just to stay in control while I watched the rest. Once the credits rolled though, then I started losing it.

    Things to remember (pending episode 19):
    In The Trial, Blue Zircon said that Rose Quartzes were a known threat for several hundred years, so Pink Diamond must have been doing the Scarlet Pumpernickel routine for that long, trying to convince the other Diamonds that Earth was too dangerous to develop.
    The reveal didn't shock me, because it was plain to me that Rose Quartz had far too much power to be an ordinary Gem; that she'd somehow gained Pink Diamond's powers. I was more ticked off at the Crewniverse seemingly cheating by making Pink Diamond's gemstone in a form that couldn't possibly match up with Steven's (the faceting on the crown is wrong, otherwise Steven's/Rose's gemstone would be encircled by a zig-zag pattern).
    No wonder why Blue Diamond grieved so much, having pooh-poohed Pink's warnings about the danger posed by "Rose Quartz". This would also explain her uncharacteristic fury at Ruby and condemning her to be shattered when Ruby inadvertently blew up the best chance to capture Rose Quartz.

  • @TheEgoChallenge

    This really reminds me of how much Game of Thrones completely effed up because they wanted to "subvert" the audience who guessed how things would end, and instead made the ending incoherent. Whereas many people guessed Rose was Pink Diamond, but that just made this reveal 10000x more impactful because of how masterfully they wove the story. Probably one of the greatest reveals in a TV show ever written.
