[[WMG: Pink Diamond was shattered later than the Diamond Authority believes.]]
Pink Diamond starts up the Crystal Gem rebellion as a delaying tactic, but as these things do it spirals out of control and factionalises. Then the other diamonds realise this far more successful rebellion has to have strong backing by someone who'd agree with the ideals. They would have to be powerful, Off-colour and Deep-cut - there is only one candidate. Pink realises that her cover has been blown, and needs her most loyal soldier to remove her from play before the Diamond's do.
As a secondary advanatge the rebel factions will be able to work together. Pink can't have any Sapphire ''especially Parapashaca'' too close or that will undo this scheme. And a diamond being shattered by Rose Quartz will help improve the morale of the rebellion and put the Crystal Gems in command. This partially backfires - Blue Diamond takes over Pink's duty(when we see her on Earth she's in her mourning veil). Then we discover Garnet.
We've assumed the picture is Pink Diamond being surrounded, and with an evil grin, but what if it is a grimace with Pink and the Crystal Gem's facing Bismuth's rebel faction. Pink Diamond will sell her life dearly. Pearl is surprised. Garnet is fearful and worried. While Pink Diamond does love humans, she loves them ''as pets''. Despite Pink caring for humans, free humans see her as an oppressor - The Diamond. They shatter her with Bismuth's armanents, and ''that'' is why Bismuth got bubbled.
Garnet is fearful [[spoiler:because Sapphire was a high-ranking Homeworld gem, and the rumours she's heard about Pink Diamond are not very flattering. Keeping humans in Zoo as Trophys, because normal homeworld gems don't understand why else Pink would do so. Erratic, bad tempered and collects trophies. A worse tyrant than the other Diamonds.]]

[[WMG: The Diamond Authority is a hypocritical conspiracy.]]
They're ''all'' fusions. The murals on the ship are inaccurate because they were made by Gems who wouldn't know the difference, but the Diamonds are immensely tall and, of the two we've seen, wear long, loose, concealing garments while all the others we've seen so far wear form-fitting tights or dresses. They know what kind of power Fusion has and that's why they place such huge restrictions on it, but most importantly, all the fusions we've seen have a strong desire to do what ''they'' want because they're a unique combination of personalities that both Gems become aware of, it's the only way they can experience being "different" and become introduced to the idea of being able to change. Even Jasper completely abandons her obligations to Homeworld after getting a taste of fusion because of the power trip she's on. Restriction of fusion is how the Diamonds keep their people in line.
* Jossed: They're not fusions.
[[WMG: Bismuth will be in the SDCC 2017 poster.]]
Greg and Connie were in the 2014 one, Lapis, Jasper, Peridot, Ruby, and Sapphire were in the 2015 one, and everyone (minus Ruby and Sapphire) was in the 2016 one. If anything, there's a very good chance of it.
* Jossed.
[[WMG: Blue Diamond will meet Lapis before reaching Earth]]
* It is implied that Lapis used to be a member of Blue Diamond's court, and Lapis disappeared into space at the end of "Raising the Barn". Blue Diamond will ask Lapis, "What is worth protecting on Earth?" and Lapis will show her a complete box set of ''Camp Pining Hearts''. This will play an important role in Blue Diamond's eventual HeelFaceTurn.
* Jossed.
[[WMG: Pink Diamond was shattered because she was about to make a HeelFaceTurn]]
* It's been noted that the story that Rose shattered Pink Diamond has a lot of holes in it, and that the circumstances of Pink's shattering actually very strongly imply that it was ''another Diamond'' that shattered her. It's also been noted that Pink seems to have been a lot nicer and less sociopathic than the other three Diamonds. Putting those two ideas together, what if Pink Diamond was about to sue for peace with Rose Quartz, either because she'd come to understand what Rose saw in Earth, or because she felt the Rebellion was costing too much and it was time to cut their losses? If that were the case, it's quite possible that one of the other Diamonds (most likely Yellow or White) might have shattered her to keep her from suing for peace.
* Jossed. [[spoiler:She was never shattered at all.]]
[[WMG: Rose Quartz only poofed Pink Diamond. It was Bismuth who shattered her.]]
* Not only would shattering Pink Diamond have gone against Rose's morals, it was also a tactically stupid thing to do. Rose had to have known that if she shattered Pink Diamond, the other three Diamonds would lash out exactly as they did. So let us suppose that Rose managed to ambush and poof Pink Diamond, and then bubbled her gem or otherwise took it as a hostage for the Earth's survival? However, Bismuth didn't ''want'' an end to the war. She wanted the war to continue, to grow worse, in hopes of eventually destroying the Diamond Authority. So she did the one thing that she must have known would ensure that the Diamonds would fight the Crystal Gems to the death, and shattered one of their own.

[[WMG: Stevonnie is a Hermaphrodite]]
* It's been stated that all fusions have "something extra", such as Garnet's three eyes, Smoky Quartz's three arms, or the extra eyes and arms most fusions manifest. Stevonnie, on the other hand, does not have any visible extra features.

[[WMG: White Diamond's pearl is an automaton/robonoid]]
White Diamond's Pearl is the only one that isn't voiced by the other Pearls' voice actress, and is in fact voiced by White Diamond's voice actress. This, along with her robotic cadence, generally bizarre movement, ability to summon gemtech pods and travel through walls, points to White Diamond's Pearl not being a true pearl, but instead a robonoid/automaton.
* Jossed.
[[WMG:White Diamond's Pearl is directly mind controlling White Diamond herself.]]
Yeah, it's a silly theory, but what if White Diamond isn't the one controlling White Pearl, but the other way around? Pearls are just a servant race, but White Pearl uses her BeneathSuspicion status as a Pearl and White Diamond's authority to effectively rule the Gem Empire by herself.
It all started when White Diamond attempted to possess her Pearl so she can see and hear through her, since Gems are more likely to say compromising things in front of a lowly Pearl than they would ever do in front of a Diamond. However, the it backfired when White Pearl reversed the process and turned it on White Diamond. She now keeps WD in seclusion to minimize the chance of someone noticing White's behavior is off.

For instance, they probably can't change the color of what they shapeshift into, hence why all of Amethyst's forms are some shade of purple. In addition, there might be certain aspects they can't change, like number of eyes. So while Garnet could shapeshift, she is unable to get rid of her third eye. She probably wears her shades so she doesn't appear too frightening to humans.

[[WMG: Gems reproduce via reincarnation]]
When a Gem dies, whether through battle or through natural causes, their physical forms deteriorate into nothing and the gem goes into a sort of incubation period where it creates a new physical body for itself, resulting in a baby. While ultimately the personality and life of the resulting offspring will vary, the girl will grow up into a warrior having a personality similar to the previous gem, possibly even gaining the instincts or even some of the memories of the previous life.
Steven is different. Rose Quartz marrying and having a kid with Steven's father, Greg, changed the process significantly. If the offspring of a Gem is done traditionally like normal humans, the Gem will become pregnant with the coming child like a normal human woman. Her body will then deteriorate after the child is born, since a Gem's body is not strong enough to handle actual childbirth. They will, however, will themselves to live long enough to pass on their Gemstone to a successor. This successor is usually the child they just gave birth to, as most often the reason the husband is not chosen because they lack the training required to harness the gem's power. If the child is the successor, which is usually the case, he/she will be raised by a combination of their father and his/her mother's previous teammates, the latter whom will teach the child in the ways of harnessing his/her mother's gem.
And what of the Gem herself? There are one of two possibilities: The more traumatic possibility is that the Gem will be born as a normal human female and live out her life as a normal human until the child of the previous life has their own child, which will cause her [[CriticalExistenceFailure to automatically die and physically deteriorate,]] her life essence going into the impending grandchild. The more optimistic and less FridgeHorror inducing possibility would be the previous Gem ceasing to exist in physical flesh form, her essence still inside the crystal until her son or daughter has a child of their own.
Either way, the first grandchild will '''''always''''' be a Gem, and she will automatically inherit the gem stone's power. If the new gem doesn't marry, the normal reincarnation will begin anew.
* And each Gem is stronger than the last......see further down WMG
* Sort of. In ''Lion 3: Direct to Video'', Rose says that she and Steven can't co-exist, likely due to there being only one rose quartz gem, so she actually became part of Steven to give birth to him.

[[WMG: Part of Rose Quartz still lives on inside of Steven.]]
We know he has the same gem as her. Later in the show, he might be able to channel her spirit or something.
* I had the same idea, except all or Rose is still alive. When a Gem's physical form takes too much damage, they revert back to their gem, which houses their consciousness. Rose may have chosen to do that when she gave birth to Steven, in which case she's still around, in his gem.
** Actually, this theory makes a lot of sense. In addition to the hints we've gotten that Rose might still be around (the talking whale in "Rose's Room", the statue reaching for Steven in "Rose's Fountain", etc.), bear in mind that when everyone talks about Rose's "death", they seem to use the same InsistentTerminology: that she gave up her "physical form", which (since her Gem is still around) would mean her humanoid body. It could mean that Rose's soul/spirit/essence is still inside her Gem, and she just can't interact with anyone or anything due to not having a physical body.

While a few splintered fragments of her early memory are still available to Steven in his dreams, nothing of her personality remains; as Steven puts it, she's gone. When she said part of her would still be there inside Steven, it's clear now that she was talking metaphorically.

[[WMG: The Gems aren't immortal, but they age and mature very, very slowly.]]
Amethyst's behavior suggests she's mentally a teenager, but the show implies that she and the other Gems are much older. It could be that the Gems just age extremely slowly, and Amethyst is still the Gem equivalent of a teenager.
* Sort of confirmed by Episode 13: They seem to be TheAgeless.
** {{Jossed}} in the long run in a number of places, but especially in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E16GregTheBabysitter Greg the Babysitter]], which unambiguously makes it clear that gems don't physically age or grow normally and that the fact that humans do was both fascinating and confusing to Rose. Every gem is born fully-formed and that they don't normally grow or mature at all. It's possible for them to mature mentally, and this can have ''some'' physical impact when they reform, but that's not a built-in or universal thing for them, and the speed at which it happens isn't 'naturally' slow or fast, it just depends on their situation the same way anyone else develops mentally.
** Amethyst being teenager-sized, in particular, is not because she's younger than the other gems - she's actually very close to Jasper's age - but because she's overcooked. And she'll never grow out of it, much to her frustration early on. Her mental state is close to that of a teenager, yes, but that's not some special aspect of gem-kind, it's just how she was; it develops over the course of the show because of her own efforts and that of those around her.

** Well, ''probably''. It's still sort of plausible (if unlikely) that "Pink Steven" was actually just Pink Diamond's desperate attempt to invoke ThatManIsDead rather than let White have her way. Particularly if she considered that the emotional blow this deals to White might be her only way to buy time to reunite with Steven before it's too late.
