Head canon that Blue Diamond changed her appearance because of stress

Since the Wanted arc aired, I’ve been thinking about Blue Diamond a lot lately and after seeing this video, it made me want to draw her.

In this video, it brings up a very great point about Blue Diamond’s appearance change from her mural depiction in the moon base to what we’ve seen so far.

In the mural, she wears what looks like a long flowing dress that exposes her gem and arms. Her hair color is depicted as darker than that of her skin. So we all expected her to look somewhat similar to that. BUT she ended up like this.

Why is that? Because she’s been mourning the loss of Pink, of course. So because of this, I wanted to draw what she could have looked like before Pink’s shattering.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Blue’s design so much! I love the way she contrasts Yellow’s jagged and sharp design, but I don’t think Blue has always had the white flowing hair and mourning attire she has now.

Any Thoughts?

Speaking of Rose's tears and their unprecedented mystical properties-- I can't help but think that there's a connection with Blue Diamond's powers to make gems cry. Sure that's almost certainly not the only thing she can do, but both times it's come up it's been given a lot of emphasis. Maybe this is evidence of Rose Diamond and maybe not, but I really don't think it's a coincidence :0a

Huh.

I mean, I had the idea of, I don’t think it’s exclusive to Blue, and I think this might be the main “thing” that sets the Diamonds apart, and defines their caste, with things like size being sort of by-products.

Basically, I think about the idea that Gems’ forms are basically wavelengths (light and sound) centered around a gemstone core.

Singing is clearly not only a thing but a pronounced thing among the upper ranks of Homeworld. And while many Gems and fusions are given notable musical VAs, Yellow Diamond is specifically given the voice of Patti LuPone.

So- basically, what if the thing with the Diamonds is that they resonate in a way that they can strike the hearts of any Gem within range? This would explain the corruption (seemingly, White’s handiwork), it’d explain both Blue’s power and why Lars is unaffected, and it might well also be the origin of destabilization technology- Diamonds are in fact able to “sing” in such a way that a lesser gem would be shaken to pieces by that resonance, but the Diamonds are built for it.

After all, the Diamonds apply the rhetoric of “every Gem is made for a purpose and that’s Who They Are” to themselves. Yellow’s song even makes that very clear- A place for everyone, and everyone in their place- that means you too, Blue, and you’re not in your place doing your job.

If the Diamonds are “made” to lead, then it makes sense their skill set is geared towards other Gems. Interconnecting, communicating.

Mostly, what we see of the Homeworld Diamonds is they’re broadcasting, much more than they’re listening. If anything, not listening is definitely a problem of theirs.

However… Steven also has a lot of communication related powers, doesn’t he? Dreamwalking, his body-hijacking powers- and a very obvious musical aptitude he shares with both his parents.

I mean, I think a lot about the fact that YD’s ability to channel destabilizing force through her own body proves that diamonds, or at least YD, are impervious to that kind of thing- and how Steven is immune to destabilizer fields, and we all assumed it’s because he’s half human.

I think about this especially because it’s been stated if Steven poofed he’d be “dead forever” and Crewniverse, I believe specifically Matt Burnett, said something about “A Diamond poofing? Hahaha,” implying they can’t or that it’d be incredibly unusual.

TL;DR the Diamonds seem to have a thing about psychic empathy? though, it’s not clear yet if the Diamonds can “listen” as much as they can “broadcast” or if their skill set is actually limited.
