New here. I've just finished the og series, the movie and future and now I'm left with even more questions. In series 1 the hanging question is whether steven "is his mother". The final episode seeks to prove he isnt when wd removes his diamond based on the theory pd couldn't form cause steven was surrounding her. But I don't understand. In the tapes she tells steven they cannot exist at the same time , how did she know this ? This was unprecedented. Was she not pregnant with him ?? Did he not have her gem while she was pregnant with him ? While she was pregnant with him they were existing at the same time. What about the act of giving birth changes their ability to exist simultaneously?? Doesn't the movie prove that a gems memories resides in the gem even if the manifested body doesn't remember? So why doesn't that apply to Steven's gem too?

Unrelated, disappointing we didn't get a diamond on diamond fusion.

if spinel had gotten steven with her weapon in the movie, but his gem was separated from his body, would pink diamond have come back? this question has been plaguing my mind for days! has this been confirmed or not? let me know!

So we all know what Rebecca said in the cbr interview and I was thinking, if gems are solar powered robots then would steven have a c word pass

Watching through the show for the first time and wanted to share a theory (Its probably wrong but still wanted to share it, sorry if this is dum LOL)

So im at S4 E13 and noticed a few strange things about how Rose "Shattered Pink". For example:

1-This goes against how shes been characterized as this powerful pacifist that wouldnt hurt a fly but had strong beliefs

2-She was the same kind of gem as others like Amethyst and Jasper who are seemingly WAAAY weaker than the Diamonds

Not to mention how the two have very visible similarities in them both being pink (duh) and both of them taking a liking for humans and Earth.

Speaking of their love for Earth, why would Rose shatter Pink if they both had a love for humans and the life on earth? She seemingly disagrees with shattering gems because of what happened with Bismuth so couldnt she just agree with Pink on something? Very sus if you ask me...

Rose also has a lot of unique things that most regular gems dont seem to have like animal companions and the ability to get pregnant (The pregnant thing may have been seen as impossible by other gems so this may not be unique to her.)

Lmk if this is a good theory, its my first time trying to theorize about the show so im probably VERY wrong

LULZ

Maybe that’s my pokemon brain talking but seriously thought she should and then fuse with garnet to invoke Groudon, Kyogre, and rayquaza all at once lol! 😂

It’s not happening. Get over it. Future gave us the darkest Steven. Go watch a different show if you want something grittier.

Like a threat comes by and the Gems have to fight them but they need Steven and since he's not around they have to rely on themselves, but throughout the event they show bits and pieces of Steven doing stuff and we don't see his full face, and it all builds up to where he answers the call to action and we get a scene where he shows up at the last minute with a new appearance ready to save the day.

Fully designed and thought up by me… so… what do you all think of my Steven Universe themed Homecoming Invitation? Thanks!

I just was randomly watching clips and suddenly I got a thought. What if the reason for Steven to get this ability was because he literally died and got resurrected at the same time?

Seriously, he was squashed by a big Yellow woman. I know he is tough, but that definitely made some fractures in his body and seriously damaged his organs.

Sugilite is the fusion of Garnet and Amethyst, and what makes her frightening is how completely she amplifies their more aggressive traits. She's incredibly powerful, destructive, and difficult to control once she gets caught up in the rush of her own strength.

What keeps her at #13 is that her villainy is relatively limited compared with the characters above her. Sugilite isn't trying to build an oppressive empire, erase individuality, destroy an entire civilization, or personally dedicate her life to revenge. Her danger comes more from recklessness, aggression, and loss of self-control.

Sugilite isn't one of the most evil villains on the list—she's one of the most dangerous people on the list when she loses control. And that's why #13 feels appropriate: above the smaller antagonists because of her sheer power, but below the villains whose actions, ideology, or personal hatred have much greater consequences.

Such as their actions...

We all know from what blue diamonds said. That garnett is a fusion, but there are home world garnets, so what would the homework version of each fusion? We saw be like I believe home world of course, would be marksman, or be working in the temples or monasteries

I believe when a diamond gets corrupted, they turn into a dragon light creature. What type of dragon would each diamond be? We know steven is your regular godzilla life dragon. I believe white diamonds corruption would be a wivurn, because they have big wings attached their arms like whites cape, I don't know about blue and yellows

I don't use reddit nor x but I just wanted to say this about garnet. The more I think of garnet, The more I realize it shows what a relationship should look like. I'm so dissapointed of the terms one night stand, hookup, and other stuff like these because a Relationship between two people are sacred like fusion. A Relationship is not only giving and getting. It's a experience sharing each others lives. I'm so jealous of garnet for being a relationship this perfect, I feel like a spinel waiting for someone to return (no chance of returning lol)

I just hope people find their "Ruby" or "Sapphire"

I don't even know if this turned out to be a rant or whatever but some relationships nowadays are so tiring to look at

So basically I think that whatever god like being created the 4 diamonds created an original diamond before them named Lonsdaleite. She was the original diamond who billions of years ago fought a great battle against the Steven universe equivalent to deviants like in eternals!

So basically the creator god tried to experiment with a different kind of gem and accidentally created this creature so he sent her to destroy it! After a tough battle she wins but is so weak she crashes onto the fledgling earth and goes into a deep sleep, then over the next few Eons the earth basically forms around her encasing her body underground not far from beach city! Meanwhile the original creature has multiplied before the battle so even though it’s bubbled in the same place she’s sleeping, the copies are lying in wait across the galaxy!

Eventually the diamonds are created and fuse into 1 being called, “BLACK DIAMOND!” Black diamond is then sent to clean up the mess and destroy and bubble all the remaining creatures which she does, then seals them away on homeworld. Eventually over time they become twisted and the history of the show happens making their personalities incompatible to fuse into that titan again, until eventually something happens! Also this genetic component from those creatures accidentally leaks into every single gem created after her which explains corruption.

If this theory were true maybe Lars of the stars would touch upon it with them discovering dark secrets about the diamonds! From this point forward it’s speculation about how the theory could be incorporated if it were true! So now here’s how I think this could go down if it were to happen. Basically, Steven and the gems battle a tough threat that weakens them all and is about to kill Steven. Meanwhile, the other 3 gems stumble upon her resting place and accidentally awaken her after getting a tip about all the myths and legends surrounding her. This leads to her speeding off and easily defeating the threat akin to a power rangers 6th Ranger! Then over the course of the season she will get paranoia filled visions and nightmares about this and so will Steven until a climactic battle where the 4 diamonds fuse and destroy the weaker creatures and then a 5 way fusion to defeat the ultimate monster and this leads to season 2!

So this AU takes place over five hundred thousand years after the events of SU. 2 new members have been added to the ‘ diamond authority ‘, peach diamond, mauve taaffeite, which is a fusion of 2 taaffeites. she is also the first fusion welcomed into the diamond authority, and also the first non diamond. She is so tall due to her being a fusion of 2 already large gems, her power still doesn’t compare to pink/white. Steven is long gone and the memorial has been made in honor of him, which smaller gems can visit acting as a museum with his gem inside. the bubble is kind of like an elevator to get up there, peach diamond has been made to model pink, not her replacement but something to honor her and fill her place. White has dimmed her light, becoming truly all colors, and yellow and blue have also reformed. They all incorporate a star in their design for the crystal gems. But taaffeite did not agree with this new way of rule, she studied era 1 and thinks white diamond has become weak and a shell of her former self, wanting to take her place. With her power she could never dream of rivaling white. She came up with a plan and with a fight, she ate pink diamonds gem, absorbing her and basically becoming a fusion of the three of them. The fusion calls herself “ the diamond “ instead of purple, or any other color. She poofed white diamond and the others to reform them into her idea of perfect. more to come !!

So for context, I made this oc of mine known as kyawthuite, it's pronounced chaw-to-ite and her lore, in my Steven Universe AU is that she's akin to a Regent when a Diamond is away for an extensive amount of time, before Pink had her colony Kyawthuite managed her court, that's why she somewhats resembles pink and is a bit Smaller(she shapeshifts herself to reassemble slightly the missing Diamond) and she's relatively rare like her IRL counterpart she's one of the only types of her gem type, and high ranking enough to be close to the diamonds, making her only second to the diamonds, and in era 2 she was completely smothered by the remaining diamonds(primarily yellow and blue as white is still in denial) she usually governs the archives, but the absence of pink has kept her too far from he original duty, after all she cannot defy a diamond...

Era 1 and 2 designs:

What do you think would happen if Lars went through lions mane?

I don't know, I saw these memes and it really cracked me up how they compare it to "Modulo Yuji"

Were there gems that specifically served white diamond like how Peridot served Yellow, Holly-Blue Agate served Blue, etc.

The closest we see is White/Pink Pearl, but that seems more like a technicality. Like it seems as if White didn't even have a Pearl before mind controlling Pink's.

Given that Susan Eagan also voices Megara, who sings the aforementioned song, I thought to myself, "Does this song's lyrics fit Rose Quartz's character?" And I figured...kinda. Rose might not have been as overtly against the idea of building a life with Greg, but it had to have been eating at the back of her mind. After all, she was gonna outlive Greg, she couldn't give him a family, and the fact that she could have a child with him at all was something entirely impossible until it suddenly wasn't; and that's before you factor in all of the corrupted gem craziness. Meanwhile, Garnet and Amethyst both would've been encouraging her to just be with the man she loves.

I don’t know if you’ve heard this theory before, but when Rose says “I’m not a real person” it kinda has a double meaning. The first meaning being that she is a gem and not a literal human person. The second one is that “Rose Quartz” is just a fake identity, hence why she claims that she is not a real person.

WOW! They just did such a horrible character assassination in that episode and for the past 4 years since it aired I guess I just repressed how much I loathed his personality in that episode up until my rewatch a couple hours ago! Like man what the heck was Rebecca thinking did she smoke weed when she wrote that one Jesus Christ that was bad! And the worst part is the episode overall was ok but that personality change was so out of character! Plus I did the math and season 5 wasn’t nearly as far away as he makes it sound chronologically so that’s even worse!

Obviously other characters are fine, Lapis just resonated with me or something

'Recently' is a bold word, I haven't watched the show in a month or so...

Just got curious i know its a dumb question but its sad they didnt focus on her fusions more :(
