The Transformation of Pink Diamond’s Powers

Hey, everybody! Boy, that finale was something else, eh? I’m happy to have gone on such an incredible journey with everyone. But today, I won’t focus on the last episode. Instead, I want to focus on a realization of Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond’s character!  The fandom is still rather divided on Pink Diamond’s past and whether or not she was a bad person. Originally, I was going to put together a post on why I thought she was good until I made a rather interesting observation after watching “Homeworld Bound”. It was so interesting in fact, that I didn’t feel like writing about anything else! 

(OKAY so it’s late and I haven’t slept at ALL but I had to throw up my thoughts. It’s very rambly and not that well-written but HEY, it’s a dumb post about a cartoon lol so it’s all good)

--

“Your Mother’s Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn’t understand why. The other never expected her to change at all.”

In “Volleyball”, we saw that both Pearls had gotten into an argument when Pink Diamond’s past actions came into question. Our Pearl knew only of the healing powers that Rose Quartz possessed, while Pink Pearl revealed that she was more than familiar with the destructive power of her Diamond. 

While this reveal does indeed give us insight into the past, we also see the true start of Pink Diamond’s journey into becoming Rose Quartz. Her transformation that began after her outburst unintentionally damaged Pink Pearl. In the episode “Homeworld Bound”, we can find a similar transformation with the Diamonds. 

After thousands of years of leading her army’s to conquer other worlds, of experimenting, of punishing her troops, Yellow Diamond had realized what she’d done wrong. Without Steven’s provocation, she had begun to pull in her past experiments to put them back together and reunite them with one another. 

Her powers were once used to poof a gem near instantly. Yellow Diamond took out anyone who stepped out of line. But now, she’s painstakingly taking her time to put together the shards of fallen gems. 

After thousands of years of grief, of forcing her pain onto others, and keeping everyone’s emotions regulated, Blue Diamond saw that there was more than sadness to experience in the world. She knew that she had hurt others while they were under her rule. Without anyone pushing her to do more, Blue Diamond took it upon herself to bring joy. 

Her tears disappeared. Instead, clouds filled her room that brought peace of mind to any gem who would need it. She stays to offer advice to troubled gems, and with Spinel she’s able to bring laughter. Steven was only able to shed tears in the past while in her presence. Yet now Blue Diamond had moved on to make amends rather than focusing on her past. 

Honestly, there’s a lot to unpack with White Diamond. Since the very start of Gem-kind, she was a cruel leader who expected perfection. She held a high standard that even her fellow diamonds struggled to follow. White Diamond began the invasion of other planets to destroy for the sake of creating more gems. Her powers allowed her to invade the body of others and control how she pleased. 

In “Homeworld Bound”, we truly see how far White Diamond has come. Her powers allow other gems to take control of HER so that they may be heard. She’s given them a voice when before they had none. Despite her past actions, White Diamond chooses to entrust her body to the minds of gems she once enslaved to allow them the chance to speak. 

Steven had the Diamond Authority give up their colonies and dictatorship. He had them begin to realize that everyone should stand on equal ground. But he wasn’t the one to lead them down the full path to redemption. Steven certainly pushed them in the right direction, of course, but the Diamonds needed to self-reflect. Once they were able to tell for themselves that what they did was wrong, their powers completely changed. 

Just like Pink Diamond. 

At the time she didn’t have Steven to help her along the way. Instead, she was allowed to see the pain she caused after her outburst had hurt her close friend. She had felt so much regret over her actions that Pink Diamond never allowed her powers to hurt anyone else again. 

When Spinel interrupted her call with her fellow Diamonds and risked her chance to be responsible, Pink Diamond held back her temper. She never yelled or told Spinel off for frustrating her and acting silly. Pink Diamond kept herself under control and refused to let her powers get the better of her. Instead, she loved the goofiness that was Spinel continued to laugh at her jokes even as she grew weary of them.   Now, Pink Diamond did make a mistake when having dealt with Spinel. My point here is that she held herself back after having learned what happens when she gets upset.  

Even during a war over the fate of the Earth, Pink Diamond asked for a sword that could never shatter a gem. Even if they were her enemies, she didn’t want to hurt them. She stopped Bismuth, her closest friend, from ever using her weapons to kill. 

Her Pearl’s injuries had put Pink Diamond directly on the path to becoming the loving Rose Quartz that everyone knew. The Rose Quartz that was patient and kind, finding the beauty in everything and everyone. The same Rose Quartz who became so fascinated with change because she wanted to change herself. She wanted to change to be better, to be different than the Diamonds who hurt her for not being proper. 

It was this same need to be different, to grow, that spurred every other gem to join in the rebellion to fight for life on Earth and their freedom to be who they pleased. 

Both Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz weren’t perfect. They made so many mistakes along the way when they had no other guidance. But there’s no argument when I say that we ended up with someone kinder than they started. The world isn’t black and white, and Rose certainly isn’t, but I think she was a good person.

This movie looks like it's going to be great! Now, I hate when the message is "Hurr Durr, Technology bad" but I can sense that this isn't really the message it'll tell us in the end. That being said, some of y'all need to take a chill pill before labeling the dad "abusive". Chillax.

God this looks cute.

Thoughts on Pink Pearl and our Pearl

After watching the movie I believe that I may have an idea or two about the story behind these two. Hopefully what I’ll write will make sense. In the least, I hope you enjoy reading my speculation! 

First things first, I’ll address what happened to Pink Pearl and how it may have lead up to the events of Spinel. 

In flashbacks from past episodes, we’ve heard Blue comment to Pink, “White is very unhappy with you. If this keeps up, she’s going to take away your Pearl”. Many have assumed that that was indeed the case. Pink Diamond acted up, a prank went wrong perhaps, and her Pearl was taken away. 

But what if Pink Pearl was the one who acted up? 

In the flashbacks, we saw her laughing and playing along with Pink Diamond. Telling jokes and making silly faces. It was only when the Diamonds were around that Pink Pearl acted “Proper”. Pink Pearl was acting out of her intended purpose as a servant to the Diamonds. White Diamond had to correct Pink’s Pearl because Pink Diamond encouraged her Pearl’s “Defects”. 

The Diamonds couldn’t have gems straying away from their singular purpose. If they allowed anarchy, their perfect empire would be jeopardy. But if Pink Diamond had been so desperate for a friend then they’d give her what she wanted. They built a gem whose purpose was to be Pink’s best friend. 

Spinel. 

She was literally made to be a friend. A playmate. Spinel was only capable of being silly and doing tricks. Just like what Pink Diamond wanted from her Pearl, right? The distraction that the Diamonds made for Pink worked at the beginning but things were sure to fall apart as time went on. 

Pink Diamond wanted a colony, to be taken seriously as a fellow Diamond. Due to Spinel’s purpose as a playmate, her silliness only humiliated Pink in front of the diamonds (Note her frustrated glances towards Spinel while she’s having a call with Blue and Yellow). It didn’t help that Spinel was a replacement as a friend when Pink Pearl was taken away, which may have added to Pink Diamond’s eventual distance from Spinel. 

When it came time for Pink to leave the garden and head towards Earth to begin her colony, I believe she felt she had to leave Spinel. Spinel was too goofy to take with her on her mission to prove herself. And as White Diamond proved to Pink, it was impossible-- wrong, for a gem to change and grow. 

And if Spinel did manage to grow past her original purpose? White would only step in again to correct her like she did Pink Pearl. 

While Pink was growing out of Spinel, she also wouldn’t have wanted for Spinel to share the same fate as her Pearl. To spare the both of them trouble, Pink simply left Spinel behind. Making sure to leave Spinel happy by telling her that they’ll be playing a game. What Pink did to Spinel was selfish and wrong on all levels, but this may just put a little more insight into the way she did things. 

(And before ya’ll crawl your way into my butt, screeching “ROSE IS A HORRIBLE PERSON, DON’T EXCUSE HER ACTIONS”, let me just say: No. I’m not excusing her actions, only putting thought into why she did them and how she was feeling. That being said, I honestly don’t think she’s a horrible person. I think some of you may just be looking for someone to hate. I won’t get into why I believe Rose is good, but if anyone is interested to hear please mention it and I’ll make a post on it!) 

By putting my thoughts on Pink Pearl to a close, I’ll move on to Pearl and what I believe her origins are. 

There was a time where everyone theorized that Pearl was originally White’s. I believe that Rebecca Sugar turned down the idea but Steven Universe: The Movie gave us an important hint. The song “System/BOOT. PearlFinal (3).Info” is the answer! 

After being hit with the Rejuvenator, Pearl reformed while prompting the name for the name of her new owner. It struck me as strangely...generic. The same message you’d get when booting up a new computer. It got me thinking. 

When Pink had her original Pearl, why was it so significant that she’d be taken away when the Diamonds were just going to give her another Pearl? 

Because Pink Pearl was made specifically for her. Think about it. Why is it that all of the Diamond’s Pearls resemble their respective Diamond, while our Pearl looks different and even has a mix of colors?

It’s because Pearl is from a different production line of Pearls. Ones that were meant for high gem society, but not for the Diamonds. It’s why she prompted as to who was her owner instead of immediately requesting for Pink Diamond. 

Note that Spinel immediately latched onto Steven. She was made to be Pink’s best friend, and Steven has her gem. Spinel didn’t need to ask who she was made for because she already knew. 

This was how Pearl was able to fight alongside Rose without being recognized as belonging to Pink Diamond. Because she looked like any other Pearl (Although a fancy once, according to Peridot). 

Aight, that’s all I got. If you have any questions or want further discussion, feel free to message me!

Coffee Stains (yandere shouto x reader)

summary: you couldn’t have ever imagined that your innocent fantasies on the ice and flame hero could’ve turned into this mess.

a/n: wow really just pulled 10.3k words out of my ass for shouto, who isn’t even my favourite character. hope yall enjoy! (please I slaved over this it’s so goddamn long) might change the title to something better, so if u have any suggestions drop em down below!

tw: stalking 

——-

You wouldn’t call yourself a stalker, per se, but there’s no denying that you’re just a little more obsessed than the average fan. In middle and early highschool, when every girl sighed over their favourite pro-hero and practiced writing their first name and their idol’s last name together, you were shameless with your obsession, furiously scribbling ‘Y/n Todoroki’ on every piece of scrap paper you could find.

Red and white graced your walls, along with cute little printed out photos of Shouto himself, mostly screencaps from the UA Sports Festival. What little merch you could find stood proud on your dresser and you ran a blog completely dedicated to icy-hot himself, from photo edits to love letters to long rants against Enji Todoroki’s treatment of him.

Even worse, you wrote fanfiction about him, twelve-year old mind fantasizing about walking hand in hand with him or stealing his hoodie or doing whatever cute couple things that, you know, real couples did. Probably taxes. Real couples probably did taxes together.

It wasn’t until you were sixteen that your blind adoration began to lessen, the dozens of Shouto Todoroki posters plastering your bedroom walls suddenly becoming embarrassing every time you had a friend over. Slowly, you started to wear colours other than red and white, gradually abandoned your fanfiction blog, stopped spending hours on end screenshotting and editing blurry photos of him, and started signing off with your real, legally given name instead of ‘Y/n Todoroki’. 

By the time you left for college, all that remained of your previous childhood fixation were a couple of soft, oversized merch t-shirts and your abandoned blog. That’s not to say that you stopped liking the ice-flame hero; just that you learned to focus on the people beside you rather than thousands of miles away, completely untouchable.
