  Only 9 mins in but this is really good analysis! Has me thinking about lots of stuff I've never thought in the series and cleared a lot up already. Good content keep up the good work

  It’s been an entire lifetime for Rose/Pink between leaving Spinel (which admittedly the way she left her can definitely be criticized) and having Steven. In my mind, I would think that Spinel would be the last thing on her mind and probably something she came to some kind of closure on in her time on Earth before Greg

  Getting to see Rose's development and redemption in reverse - meaning we learnt everything backwards - was really something. I wonder if we'd be more forgiving if we saw her worst deeds first.

  I feel like Connie eventually getting frustrated with Steven is understandable after five seasons tbh. Even patient people break. If someone kept leaving me behind to go put themselves in danger withoit warning, it would stress me out too.<br>Edit: typos

  I feel as though all sapphires when they are made their future vision is just one straight line when garnet was telling the story of how they met she said that sapphire knew everything in her life that was going to happen because they all start off with one path but after the fusion it was so unpredictable that it altered the way her powers worked the stream that was once straight became a river with multiple paths her future vision isn’t wrong it’s just that everything Steven does is something that is so improbable that she cannot see it happening

  I like this analysis but I don’t think rose would use humans in the war and she didn’t even want the human Zoo that was Blue trying to appease her and it seems out of character since she was so dedicated to protecting Earth and its life including humans

  I always thought that the fact she ditched Spinel and drifted away was forgetable, since all the gems were seen as objects before and &quot;thought&quot; to be programmed to listen to them, like humans use gadgets, for example.<br>If the other 3 Diamonds made Spinel, just to be a &quot;playmate&quot; or a puppet, so it was understandable to treat her like one, and left her in the closet.<br><br>When she turned into Rose Quartz, she learnt in a way how to empathise with other gems, and the fact that she didn&apos;t come back to her could be explain by 2 theories:<br><br>1. She wanted to let all her past behind, along with Spinel. I know that Rose realised that she was in the wrong for not doing anything for her, but she assumed this stunt as one of Pink&apos;s deed, or a deed of her past self that she (thought) couldn&apos;t fix it anymore, and she was thinking that she couldn&apos;t help Spinel adapt as being a Crystal Gem, since Spinel has the mentality of a child or young adolescent, so on this hand, I don&apos;t blame Pink for letting her in a garden as she was.<br><br>2. She couldn&apos;t come to Spinel because all of the infrastructure and teleport routes were destroyed, so Rose couldn&apos;t go to the Garden in the other part of Space, cause she needed to go via another teleportation platforms or she needed a ship, ship that Pink didn&apos;t have anymore.<br><br>In my opinion, what Pink did is (kind of) excusable, since she didn&apos;t want a child doll to get in her way and I am very sure that the other Diamonds would NOT have loved to have her, after she was rejuvenated, since they were mature and had to deal with other responsabilities.

  The gem war was thousands of years ago right? Probably long before governments existed strong and smart enough to even understand what the gems were doing maybe

  Pink being an under baked gem is an interesting idea, I really like and I believe some parts. However, in the end of an era art book, there&apos;s a timeline showing the diamonds origin around 20,000 years ago. There&apos;s also a picture showing all four poofed in between a split planet (possibly homewolrd?). I don&apos;t own the book, but I&apos;ve seen people talk about it online.
