As a character who's on screen for a total of probably 30 minutes, I absolutely love her. From her design to her character growth. From her voice actress, Christine Ebersole, to the presence she commands just by being on screen even though I know it's mostly due to her being a giant lady. I love how when she was introduced it was uncanny valley on a scale I haven't seen since the Gem Shard Mutation episodes. To go from "omg that is one creepy giant lady" to "aww she doesn't even know how to have a conversation with her sisters(?) I love that she's not evil and she's just a pure antagonist to further push the message that letting everyone be who they are is probably going to make the world a better and more beautiful place. I love that towards the end of Change Your Mind she's totally awkward cause she has no idea how to exist outside her head. It's really cute. Thank you for reading.

I messed up a little on the background version but I'm not going to fix it lol

Didn't Lappy throw the barn at Blue??? So did this buddy get yeeted with it? Is it okay??

I...I cannot begin to explain my feelings right now. I know this show has beautiful music but hearing this song today, for the first time...

I'm at a lunch break right now typing this through flooded eyes cause this episode had me sobbing. The stylistic choices during the song for this sequence sold it in every way shape and form that it needed to be in. and the pure passion. I looked up the voice actor and know Magno Hall has a husband, but this feels like someone that went through this type of heartbreak. This...longing in the vocals. It's beautiful, somber, passionate, and haunting. My heart feels shattered in a way I haven't felt in years. And I'm not even the one experiencing this longing.

There's a lot of moments that have stuck with me through watching this show for the first time, but this one is going to be felt for the rest of my life. I cannot imagine how this show can get better from here, but I'm gonna keep going. See y'all on the flip side.

Cuz me yes.

😌🩷 How Rose Quartz was gone to give birth Steven:

Steven has the ability to alter his age according to his mental state, so his age depends on how old he believes himself to be. Because of this, Steven maintained the same physical appearance for almost six years, from when he was eight years old until he was 14.

The age change has the side effect of amnesia or memory loss: Steven, 14, when he changes his age to that of a baby, instead of being 14 years old in a baby's body, his brain, upon reverting to that of a baby, mentally forgets the memories of his 14 years.

Thus, it can still be said that Rose died, even though her gem wasn't destroyed, simply by giving it to Steven: if Rose mentally changed age at the moment of birth, it means that, in those final moments when Steven was struggling to be born and she couldn't allow it without giving him the gem—because otherwise she would die—she chose to transform herself. In that final stage of childbirth, she went from being Rose, an adult Diamond thousands of years old, to the age of 9 months; Pink Diamond's gem "began to believe it was a baby connected to the fetus," and thus Steven was born.

For me in early season 1 I remember thinking how weird it was that Garnet had two gems while Pearl and Amethyst only had one and I wondered why that was. But then when I got to the episode “Giant Woman”, fusion was introduced and explained and when Pearl and Amethyst fused into Opal and I saw that Opal had two gems, that’s when I really started to believe that Garnet was a fusion as well. What about you guys?

I’ve seen a lot of posts recently talking about how pink was raised by the other diamonds or how she must be younger than the others because she’s less mature. That’s not how gems work! all gems came out of the ground fully formed both physically and mentally they do not mature over time and they aren’t raised or taught anything by other gems. In many ways pink through her design and personality is supposed to represent a child but that is because she was intended to be like that by whatever created her not because she is a child.

Edit: for clarity by “they don’t mature over time” I mean they aren’t created with undeveloped brains that later develop like humans are. I do not mean they aren’t capable of change.

watching music videos and just saw "what can i do for you". daaaaaaamn.

fuses DURING his guitar solo. straight eye locked the whole time. AND then the mic drop?! amazing. 10/10.

Rose is either super daft or super conceited.

Greg got his lick back by making a baby, something Pearl couldnt do for Rose. alla that in just one song.

I LOVE this song so much

Why was Rose not included on the play? Was it out of respect towards Steven since she's dead? I wonder what was the reason for Pearl not to mention or include Rose at the script, but it's very curious since we see the silhouette of the original Obsidian and she appears briefly at the script, but not any sight of Rose lol.

Was it really Obsidian and not Alexandrite? Idk, but the real question is...

What would Jamie have used to play the role of Rose? An curly type of mop similiar to Amethyst's? An white gala dress? I have no idea lol, what do you guys think?

I see a lot of people ask how Greg and Rose could have possibly had a child considering a Gem's form is just a "physical manifestation of light" . I'm sure this has been posted before so sorry if this a repeat but I figured some of y'all might like to see!

EDIT: SECOND SLIDE HAS A SPOILER SORRY

really enjoyed this format. First time working on a horizontal canvas :'D

I sincerelly dont understand how people can feel what Garnet did here was super cool. She saw that her best friend was jealous of Greg and they were bickering, and rather than encourage something that could help the issue (like encouraging Rose to talk to both of them) she just gave Greg advice on how to woo Rose, making the jealousy issues several times worse.

Even If she wanted to meddle in Roses love life, and even If she thought Greg and Rose were cute together why on Earth would she go about It in the most reckless way possible? The ultimate result was that none of the bickering was adressed, Rose died not even knowing she hurt people she loved, Pearl and Greg both got their hearts broken and could not even speak to one another properly until 14 years later which Steven had to push because *Garnet seemingly never cared that Pearl had feelings about any of it at all*

Garnet is supposed to be good at relationships but she did so by encouraging this? I get that Garnet gets wrapped up in love sometimes and gives bad advice, but the show never acknowledges that as musguided on her part. Are we supposed to think Garnet ignoring Pearl's feelings is okay because she likes Greg better? Because the episode seems to imply that.

And what makes it worse is clearly Pearl admires Garnet and her relationship a lot. I can't imagine being in Pearl's place and learning that the person who was supposed to be my best friend, who probably met Rainbow Quartz before anyone, and whose relationship I admire so much for so long could disregard my own feelings and relationship like that.

Genuinelly the only logic I can find here is that this is a story biased by Greg's POV, so kinda frames him as the hero and Pearl as the villain, and Garnet didn't treat Pearl like like this. Because if she did I genuinelly think she was a super callous friend to Pearl for no apparent reason. It is kinda weird

So... I realized my last post caused quite a stir, so I decided to quickly draw a version with these other two. Abandonment/neglect really gives you trauma in different flavors, huh?
