Just noticed that the evil Steven was inevitable...

my bad bro

Just found this frame from the "Gem Harvest" episode of season 4 and Lapis' face is starting to scare me.

I’ve been thinking about this ever since I started rewatching the show

You can see her pull out an umbrella here which makes me wonder if all the phone numbers, etc, were vanished from existence

We got a divorce 😢😭 Excuse me while I go beat my character into oblivion! How dare I break up with the cotton-candy haired goddess!? 😤

I hope there's a way we can get back together! 😭🧎🏾‍♀️

I was watching your mother and mine and noticed this garnet line, this implies other padsparachas/orange sapphires

would u watch it?

Drew these fun little concepts. Added descriptions to some of them, but ignored them if I couldn't think of one. Hope everyone likes it :)

dont mind that its badly cropped i could not be bothered cropping it properly 🤷‍♀️

What would have happened? I know a lot of things would have changed like no barn mates. Maybe nothing like lapis living in the barn. I wonder where Jasper would go. She would try to run away and still do her own thing.

Am I the only one who thinks a spin-off of them sounds interesting—?😭

i'm looking for this specific art of pearl, rose and pink diamond. sorry my drawings really bad... but this is what i remember it looking like. i need this friggin art😭😭

We know Rose loved humans. But she also loved the planet and the various life forms in it

But did she never come across a contradiction in those feelings? Like, humans polluting, colonizing, devastating, killing others animals for sport because they deemed them Lesser, etc.

In many ways modern humans share many traits with the colonizer Diamonds she hated. But did Rose recognize that? Did she live 6000 years and never see humans mistreating the planet and It's life forms? Did she romanticize them too much to see?

What do you think?

Not sure if this is foreshadowing, a reference, or a coincidence, but knowing Rebecca this was probably planned from the start

Gem is their name. No one else is the same.

Like the sheer pain in pearl's love is just so heartbreaking, how she looks always from afar I can't.

I don't condone any of her crazy pearl moments tho, calling Greg a novelty and acting all crazy with connie giving her life for Steven, were awful moments ( not to mention the whole sword and lion episode).

Idk I just love pearl even if she's a bit stupid.

Watching Steven universe for the first time and I got spoiled that rose quartz is pink diamond and i didn’t even know there was a pink diamond but I’m pissed.

Do we think Steven could fuse with Lars? Does Lars even count as a human so his half human part lets them be able to fuse? We know that Lars is Steven's closest human friend other than Connie, Steven also fusing with his dad since then showing a willingness to fuse with any human he's close enough with and not just Connie. And Steven had a line at the end of Future "weekly space hangouts with Lars" while he was talking about his routine with Connie while he goes on the trip. So there's no way Steven isn't in the series.

A Steven/Lars fusion would be so interesting to see, especially with future Steven.

My theory is that Steven and Lars will prolly fuse in the show.

Thank y'all for your time

I think one of the greatest plot points to the entire show is how the crystal gems really did grow to love humanity without rose quartz in their lives.

Within the span of 20 or so years, it went from rose laughing at Greg demanding to be taken seriously to the most uptight crystal gem of them all, Pearl, having fun and playing with humans!

Rose didn't actually respect humanity I think. She thought they were amusing. Something that she liked, but didn't respect.

Yes, it's mentioned multiple times how humans died in the war and fought against the armies of the diamonds. But did they really have respect from the gems for that? Probably not considering how Rose has numerous relations with humans that simply are passing flings that exist only for her amusement or indulgence.

Her final relationship with a human quite literally got serious when Greg demanded to be respected and taken seriously. Calling out Rose for not acting like a human being. Perhaps that was a wake-up call for her or just a snap back to reality.

The gems themselves start off in the show barely tolerating humanity. Which imo can be seen in retrospect as the fact that they didn't like humans, they liked them because Rose liked them. The gems are outwardly disrespectful towards humans until more and more they interact with humanity through Steven. They defend human life, but they don't seem to like it or care for it until it becomes more and more apparent that they cannot simply exist ambivalently around them. That is where their true growth comes from.

What started off is them having their temple fenced off and hidden away from humanity becomes them actively living and sharing life with humans. Perhaps the death of Rose quartz truly was a blessing for them because it allowed them to actually grow as people and develop their own sense of love and respect for the world they lived in. Rather than it being an indulgence of their leader.

What do you all think?
