Steven Universe

I think she was blaming Ruby for the fusion because Ruby was a grunt, while Sapphire was an aristocrat.

It was a little from column A a little from column B, I think.

I wonder if that will be enough. From the very little we've seen, Gems seem to believe you're supposed to lord it over your lessers.

They're also held up as objectively perfect. Peridot's abandonment of Yellow Diamond was finalized by her outburst: Yellow Diamond isn't the rational, perfect figure Peridot imagined. Instead, Yellow Diamond is a petty brute who is driven by grudges and anger.

They're need to be revealed as pathetic to Homeworld.

I find it hard to believe that the Diamonds created Gems as a species, as opposed to overseeing the creation of all Gems currently alive, while themselves being a product of a society that ended up with them at the top that only they are old enough to remember. There was probably Gem society before the four Diamonds we specifically know of took over.

The issue is. Gems are immortal. Unless there was a massacre somewhere along the lines, there should at least be some Gems still alive from before the Diamonds if the Diamonds weren't the first.

The answer is: probably.

Only the Lore Masters truly know the answer.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

Might be a bit cliche but I've always wondering if someone or something made the Diamonds and then they tried to sort of replicate the process and ended up with the Gem Empire.

Oh really when?

Or the Diamondo got the knowledge of how they were made and tried to make more of themselves.

Same thing basically.

Are they? If they could die of old age, they'd live long enough we'd never get to see it.

Til the end of the universe, and if they manage to survive all the implosions...the only things left to do are "stop", kill eachother, or wait until the universe resets.

Or they run out of stored energy in their gems in some 10s of thousands of years, we can't say one way or another.

I mean, ever in her first appearances, she showed that is wasn't too hard to rile her up.

Oh God! Natural light!

Just generalizing it to season one is wrong anyway. It's "only" in that first appearance where she's anything close to "emotionless".

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

It's more like she was being analytical because it was all she was focused on. With the CG hounding on her, reluctantly befriending Steven, turning her back on YD, and stopping the Cluster, Peridot's had time to emotionally develope. She still has plenty of moments where she's colder and more withdrawn when studying something or showing confusion with others' feelings;; a process she's still trying to figure out.

I don't think it works very well tbh.

Even if there are some gems from earlier, gems as we know them were made by the Diamonds for the sake of their empire, not the other way around.

The fact that Peridot goes out of her way to say that all Gems were made to serve the Diamonds makes me think there'll at least be a hint as to where they come from. Or how they got in power.

I've said it before, but I think this show has great potential to have the new rebellion go full-scale. I don't mean to say that the show is bad in any way when I say this, but the show feels like a prequel to a much more (for lack of a better word) eventful show. Obviously, Homeworld coming back to Earth and the Crystal Gems having to fight for it again is somewhere down the line, but it feels so far down the line that it seems like the show's going to end before it actually happens.

Before you said it was a sequel...based on a similar thing.

It's the sequel to a war story that's the prequel to a sitcom that's a sequel leading into a West Wing set on Homeworld.

My overall point is that it feels like both a sequel to a show about an alien race's rebellion on Earth and a prequel to a show about the rebellion leader's son trying to take up the mantle from the last few remaining members.

You could said is like OT of Star wars and Steve is luke.

Regarding the diamonds: Well I strongly suspect they are the product of some sort of society. If not gems than a race of Abusive Precursors who created them presumably as living weapons, or something of that sort.
