Hey, so..... I'm pretty sure that by a combination of gemetics and Rose's particular interest, amethyst is the closest thing Rose/PD has to a daughter. For me that seriously corresponds with how amethyst has been acting like the older sibling who got out of a toxic household and is trying to support her brother who's still in it when it came to finding out about Rose/PD. She's the only gem who just wants to know how Steven feels and prioritizes his emotional state, rather than making it about her (not that Pearl and Garnet didn't have good reasons).

Amethyst and Steven are so close that they don't even need to dance to fuse. There has never been a intergem fusion on the show that didn't involve dancing. Not even stevonnie. I feel like theirs is the unconditional love of siblings, the only people who can understand fully how the other feels.

Amethyst is the only gem that doesn't initially condescend or doubt Steven's intuitions, despite the fact that Steven regularly surprises even Garnet and is regularly underestimated by Pearl. She supports him when he questions things, even when she can't provide an answer.

Amethyst's relationship with Steven often gets overlooked because she's the least motherly, but I'm pretty sure that's why they have such a strong bond. She gets him, and doesn't treat him like a helpless child. She's been in his shoes. She's always gonna have his back.

She's his sister.

IMO...

I genuinely don’t think that this is a case of Steven’s gem half gaining individual awareness separate from Steven as a whole and “taking him over,” as I’ve seen some theories point to.

I think that typical, hybrid Steven is flat out just… turning pink as he slips into Ultimate Diamond Mode here. It’s something that’s been triggered directly by his emotional state, just like all of his other powers. He’s unlocked a sum of strength he didn’t know previously that he had. And I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, either.

He’s probably quite frightened by the implications behind turning pink, for all the bad memories about being compared to his mom, and concerned that he may be losing part of himself, but like… having access to such an ability isn’t an automatic terrible thing. And the fact that he is visibly angry in both shots we saw his Diamond Mode in also isn’t an instant sign that “wow, he’s finally gone apeshit,” as much as I find the jokes amusing. As with anything, it just depends on how he utilizes those things. Anger can be productive. Anger can serve a good cause. I believe this ability absolutely can too. It doesn’t have to be something inherently fearful.

If anything else, I think it’s a great sign that Steven is expressing any sort of anger towards his situation to begin with- because in previous seasons he definitely started to clam up and barricade many of his less than positive emotions- anger absolutely included. And that isn’t healthy. 

After all the nonsense he’s been through, Steven has fully earned the right to be angry about it. 

I’d certainly be, if I were in his shoes.

Bonus:

Pearl, thinking: “She likes me for my brains this would ruin everything”

I was thinking about Spinel’s fight at the beginning of the SU movie. She goes up against the Crystal Gems, a group who defeated an entire empire and beats them in under 5 minutes, barely breaking a sweat!! And what was in all likelihood her first fight no less?!?! So I started looking at the structure of her gem IRL and it appears that it has similarities the Diamonds and Garnet, with an appearance similar to a Ruby. All these gems are incredibly strong when it comes to pure physical fighting, and we know from Ruby’s first lines in the movie that they are ready for battle from the moment they hatch with no training needed. This could explain why Spinel was such a formidable opponent even without any fighting experience.

it frustrates me how some confuse SU’s message of “everyone has the capacity to change” as being the Exact Same as saying every victim in any interpersonal relationship has to forgive, no matter how imbalanced or abusive.

so let me make the distinction for you. 

there are relationships that end in the show. rose left the diamonds, lapis and jasper fell apart, greg ran away from his parents, sour cream did not reconnect with his biological father. i’ve yet to see any of these characters be forced to make it up, or told that it was invalid for them to leave. the show has never said that. steven has never said that.

if steven ever wanted to escape from someone and had to learn the lesson that he’s being a Meanie for doing so, that would be a valid take. that is something that a lot of media pushes. but in SU, that’s just not the case.

SU never said you have to forgive your abuser / mutually toxic partner / parental figure. it doesn’t want complacency. it thoroughly supports breaking toxic status quos. it’s just said that those people, even yourself (!!!), can become less toxic. even if you’re not responsible for changing others. that’s the distinction.

basically, even if nobody is obligated to forgive whoever hurt them, that doesn’t mean that the hurtful person in question has no chance to get better. 

the diamonds ruined their relationship with pink. they can never get her back. but even without her, they can still grow as people. that’s it. that’s the message.

it’s never conflated that with people being forced to stay in relationships they don’t want. the show is fully able to balance “there being hope for everyone” and “victims get to make their own choices regarding how they feel about the people who hurt them”. imagine that!

rose chose her found family. as did greg. as did peridot, who was never made to heal yellow diamond. as did lapis, who was never made to heal blue. the show is pretty consistent with this. characters realizing “i’ve screwed up with you, i’m gonna work on myself” is pretty common - as spinel puts it herself.

there are people who work on relationships with people who have hurt them - like steven - but that’s generally framed as his choice. and it’s a choice he’s often discouraged from. “no steven, let’s just bubble them”. “no steven, that’s dangerous”. “no steven, you can’t help them”.

so it’s no wonder that part of steven finding his voice is about “yes, actually. i can and will try to connect with people. you can’t stop me”.

because SU is pretty great at balancing this, none of this interferes with the message where the structural institutions and beliefs of society is the toxin, and the people who have been influenced by those societal norms are not “beyond saving”. heck, they compliment each other! you can reform people, and society as a whole, without pressuring individual victims to be there for their abusers. 

SU knows that - it just doesn’t let these individual connections be the end-all, be-all in whether society and the people within them can reform. that’s part of its brand of structuralism. people are shaped by overarching social systems, and those people can change regardless of an individualistic “does the victim forgive or not” lens. they can always work on themselves, and there is healing to be found in trying your best to grow and questioning social norms. 

i think that’s an important message. 

it’s yknow… good to tell toxic people that if they change, it’s not gonna depend on whether their victims are there to support them. they should never feel entitled to them. and if you want toxic attitudes to change on a societal level, you should never leave that responsibility to individuals.

sending those signals matters, even if you think you’ve never needed to change.

it’s just that the show isn’t so bland as to think the audience needs to be told, to their face, that “people have the capacity to change” isn’t the same thing as “you, personally, have to forgive them”. that’s not a mindblowing revelation. it’s something they just… show. rose wasn’t made to be the diamonds’ life coach. greg was never shamed for going his own way.

then again, the people who think SU says they “have to” forgive have never been subtle about not wanting anyone to be forgiving. even if it’s their choice.

you’re not mad at the show for “forcing you to forgive”. it doesn’t. you’re mad people are given the chance to heal at all. similarly, steven isn’t forced to forgive, that’s his choice. you’re mad he chooses to be himself.

And now I’m sad

Hey so do you think it takes Pearl so long to regenerate because she essentially has to battle through her Nine Circles of Repressed Traumatic Memories every time?

[stevenuniversetheorizer]

I thought it was odd that Spinel’s gem was cut in an odd shape when so many gems seem to be a more stereotypical/basic cuts so I looked it up and apparently bc spinels are more valuable the more intense the color is, so they are often cut in alternative shapes to preserve their value.

Was Spinel trying to get Pink back??!!

Think about it. She could have been hitting Steven to make the gem reboot and bring Pink Diamon back to her original form. You can see she tried over and over, and then gave up. She is faster than Steven but she stopped trying and let him puff her.

[stevenuniversetheorizer]

Pearl can shapeshift

But she chooses not to because the last time she did she “shattered” pink diamond.

[stevenuniversetheorizer]

Don’t know if anyone else has done this already but… Eyedrop tooled their pearls and… I mean… Not gonna say it but… Hmm….

[stevenuniversetheorizer]

Pearl is best girl confirmed!! But on a more serious note, the hibiscus has been connected to Pink Diamond, so that first line is interesting bc it makes me think of Pink not being the perfect diamond the way she was meant to be.

[stevenuniversetheorizer]

A small theory about why Pink left Spinel (related to her character)

many of her lines mentions about how much she hated her past-herself-

(about how she talks to Pearl that she wants to forget all of her life before Rose, or telling Greg that it’s good to not know much of her, etc..) 

and Spinel has a lot in common with her…. maybe Pink saw herself through Spinel, a part of herself she always wanted to forget and destroy….
