SU Mini Theory: The Rejuvinator DID work!!!

This is probably very obvious but what the hell.

In the movie, Steven gets slashed with the Rejuvinator–multiple times.

At first no one suspects anything happened to him, as he seems to be fine. But then his powers start to malfunction, and he finds he has to relearn how to use them. That goes away pretty quickly, 

but uhh....then this sudden change in character happens in Future. 

Steven, our little Steven, starts having anger issues, seemingly from out of nowhere. Look i know we can sit here and argue that its a natural progression but, I don’t buy it. We’ve seen little Steven be put through the ringer an get frustrated before, he never behaved like this, 

This is too much, all at once, with no explanation. Then we’re given this bombshell by Pink Pearl:

That punch she throws at the wall in Yellow’s observatory wasn’t a one-off thing; Pink Diamond threw tantrums, tantrums she couldn’t control, and had a scream that could crack walls, and once she hurt Pink Pearl, and she was given White Pearl, she changed all at once and to the other extreme, as if traumatized that she had the power to damage someone that much, someone she cared deeply for. And now, after being hit with the rejuvinator in the movie… 

..he’s cracking walls like his mom? And I’m supposed to write it off as some natural progression? Nah. We’ve seen this destructive power before.

I think the foreshadowing is pretty clear,

THIS THING DID WORK; ON PINK STEVEN!!

and what this implies is fucking terrifying; Remember this?

Yeah, this is Pink Diamond after having gone through 8,000 years of character development. Here, she isn’t the screaming, wall cracking tantrum throwing bitch, she’s become a good person, with the bagage one would expect one to have when one starts off as toxic and becomes good, so when Steven was born, his Pink half had all its character development–but since Spinel hit Steven with the rejuvinator multiple times, I think his Pink side has regressed to Pink Diamond’s state, from 8,000 years ago. 

Which means, his Pink side doesn’t love being him right now.  

How can it? Every other gem hit with the rejuvinator had to be reminded of the experiences that made them who they are after all, how can Pink Steven love being himself when it doesn’t remember how it got there?

…and with this show’s track record with forshadowing, since Pink Diamond had to hurt someone she loved before learning to control her temper…

Genocide in the context of SU

“THEY COMMITTED GENOCIDE” is a claim i hear a lot when discussing the Diamonds, and it has always confused me. I get that some people really can’t tell the difference between dictatorship and nazism (both are bad, of course) so they call the Diamonds “nazis” and by that association assume that like the nazis they committed genocide.

first of all, aside from earth, we dont know how many intelligent life gems encountered in their galactic colonization. so we’re only looking at the only example we have: Earth and its residents.

second of all: What is genocide, really?

two things:

1. The Diamonds and gemkind in general are aliens, and artificially intelligent ones at that. they clearly dont see any organism that isn’t a gem as intelligent or even capable of conceiving complex thoughts and ideas. We saw it with Blue Diamond when she chatted with Greg. 

We saw this in early interactions between Greg and Rose.

 we saw it in the main CG throughout most of the first few seasons. and it goes on and on, every interaction between a HW gem to humans or other organisms is coming from that place on imbalance. Gems think theyre superior to organic life, and its not just The Diamonds.

2. Gems use the planets they colonize to create more gems, and promise their own species’ growth. They take away everything, leaving no life behind, just to secure their own kind’s success and survival.

Does this sound familiar?

Yes.

This is what us humans do to other organisms on our OWN planet.

We ruin habitats, to build new places for humans to live. We wipe out natural populations of animals for our consumption. we grow plants and raise animal for the sole purpose of our consumption. because to humans, the first thing that matters is to make sure our species survives, even if we lost sight of how much we consume, even if at this point the balance is thrown off significantly. All in the name of self-preservation.

Can we really point a blaming finger at the Diamonds, and other gems for that matter, for doing the same? the is a very human way of thinking.

Do you call the mass extinction of marine life by humans ‘Genocide’? do you think about it when you eat a salmon? are you a contributor, just by living on this earth during this time?

Listen, im not vegan nor am i trying to force that lifestyle on you. but this is whats going on in current times. we humans have consumed the planet, shaping it to fit our needs, and will continue to do so until there’s nothing left to exploit. we are the real world’s gem kind, but we cant move on to a different planet after we’re done. The gems view humans on SU the same way real life humans view something like a chicken. alive, but not intelligent, and therefore disposable for the greater cause.

What im saying is: ‘Genocide’ is not the right term to describe what’s going on with Gemkind’s method of expansion and its relation to humans. Genocide is DELIBERATE, not a byproduct, has to be done on a group of the same species as you, and is motivated by active hate and cruelty. using that word in this situation is belittling to any nation that went through an actual genocide. We aren’t like fucking chicken.

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
