  OKAY BUT AROUND <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLLABUPdPug&amp;t=1380">23:00</a> SAYING “removing his gem would mean to not care about Steven at all” AND THEN CUTTING TO “It’s time to come out…. Pink.” WAS EDITING GENIUS.

  I think an interesting thing I see no one talking about is Amethyst. The show constantly reminds us that gems can&apos;t age or develop, but we see Amethyst do it.<br>She&apos;s out of the kindergarden a blank slate, &nbsp;mimicking those around her (much like a baby would), and has limited speech. She develops interests and a personality overtime, grows out long hair after seeing Greg&apos;s long hair, and her physical form (and the other gems) grow presumably after Rose&apos;s death. I&apos;m kinda sad the show didn&apos;t go more into detail with this. Under certain conditions, gems <b>do</b> grow and change. Not at a human&apos;s rate, but they do.

  I just noticed the kind of clever irony that the part of Steven that’s flesh and blood is ironically the emotional part, and the part that’s etherial light is strength and power, the parts you’d expect to be the ‘body’ and the parts you’d expect to be the ‘soul’ are reversed

  Loved this video. Thank you. <br><br>Having said that, the reason why Rose says &quot;my pearl&quot; is because saying &quot;my diamond&quot; is a sign of respect and distinction. So Rose is actually elevating Pearl.

  Something I absolutely love is that Rose never came back in any form. That video tape was the last thing we heard from her. Steven never found a letter from her or anything. Nothing. Rose’s thoughts, ideas and motivations are all gone along with her. She cannot apologize or explain anything because she is gone. Just like when someone dies in real life, you can’t get any answers anymore. She never gets to explain why she did anything that she did. And that’s …. Beautiful. I’m so glad Pearl or Greg didn’t know more of her motivations to become Steven or why she chose to live on earth. I’m glad there wasn’t another video tape with all the answers. She’s gone. They’ll never know why she did what she did. It’s absolutely amazing. And so rare, in tv shows overall, that neither the audience nor the characters get any sort of explanation or closure.

  I would like to make a little point about Rose&apos;s flaws being shown throughout the show. It&apos;s done in reverse chronological order. At first Rose is shown as a noble leader but by the time we get to Pink Diamond she&apos;s a bratty little kid. Rose&apos;s character arc was being shown in reverse, she really was a good leader but because of the way it was presented it cracks our perception of her.

  I was 99% sure Rose was gone and they wouldn&apos;t bring her back because that would go against all the themes built up. But this scene did put JUST enough doubt in me that the moment White took his gem I was nervous, captivated, and had no idea what would happen.

  I&apos;d like to point out that Steven line &quot;I am a child what&apos;s your excuse&quot; is really similar to a line he had in the pilot which is &quot;I can&apos;t help it what&apos;s your excuse&quot;

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLLABUPdPug&amp;t=388">6:28</a> this joke is way funnier with the knowledge that Pearl DOES in fact know yellow Pearl

  That bit where Pink Steven screamed &quot;SHE&apos;S GONE&quot; and shattered the floor scared the shit out of me when I first watched CYM. It was the first time we saw him do something so monstrous and insanely powerful, and he was so cold and unfeeling I was actually worried that something was wrong with him. But, then he was okay. Such an amazing moment.

  It&apos;s so rare to find a well thought out and delivered video essay on Steven Universe these days that&apos;s actually positive (let alone constructive to boot). From one SU loving brit to another, thank you for a great look at one of the best scenes in the show!
