Steven Universe

They now have Peridot, who has a working knowledge of current Gem technology. She could help them build a new and better ship...with lots of complaints about the substandard tools and materials she’s forced to work with, of course.

Pearl may have been able to get a working ship if she wasn't rushing.

Regardless, even with Peridot's help, they'll clearly need an Alcubierre Drive to make a useful spaceship, which probably needs some hard-to-reach parts/materials. Maybe that's what the thing in the moon base was, though just grabbing it seems too easy.

She's good at her job, but she's no Tony Stark building ships out of a box of scraps.

In regards to where one might get an Alcubierre Drive... well, the Hand Ship that Jasper and Peridot used to get to Earth in the first place probably had one. I'm not exactly sure what the Crystal Gems did with the wreckage of that ship (though Amethyst's room is always a solid guess), but it wouldn't be totally out of left field if enough of that was salvageable that Peri and Pearl could build a workable ship.

And then they could fill the scavenge-built ship with all kinds of insane warrior imagery. What a day that would be. What a lovely day.

I think their ship would be heart shaped so it contrasts with the Hand ships used by Homeworld,also it would be decorated with Rose imaginary all over

But if you were to put her in a cave first...

An interesting theory.

Also puns.

It was actually a plot point that Buddy didn't illustrate or mention the color of the palanquin, because the drawing was of Pink's but it turned out to be Blue's—though they cheated that part (deliberately or accidentally) by making Buddy's drawing have none-color details specific to Blue's palanquin.

I think it was always Pink's, Blue's just happened to be there when Steven and Greg got to Korea.

Pink's Palanquin is the ruined one he saw, yeah.

Sorry, I miss-wrote. I meant to write "the drawing was of Pink's, but the lack of color made Blue's a Red Herring".

@48301 I don't know if you were intentionally trying to make a parallel with Mad Max: Fury Road, but now I'm imagining Pearl as Furiosa. And pre-corruption Japser as Rictus.

@48302 I mean, you could go whole-hog and make the entire ship rose-shaped. Rose's cannons already were. Slightly related, if the Crystal Gems were to build a ship, it wouldn't surprise me to see the cannons get an upgrade and added to it.

Yes, that was exactly my intent.

That theory's interesting, but it glosses over the most important aspect: if Rose had a whole pride of lions in various rainbow colors, could they have combined to form Voltron?

I've checked the math and yes

My god.

No real solid info but a lot of promises,we'll see

Yes! A better layout.

Hmm. First Jones-Quartey, then Zuke, and now Burnett and Levin. Seems there's a lot of shakeups going on.

The history for the Tearjerker page has a bit of saying Steven and the CGs are Designated Heroes. Do you think that's accurate?

No.

How long ago was this?
