You're assuming that. I'm going with the time being the big reason for them not unfusing because Pearl specifically calls attention to it.

Sugilite being a problem child doesn't necessarily mean she always tries to stay fused as long as possible. We saw what Pearl was worried but she never mentioned being afraid they wouldn't unfuse and neither do Garnet or Amethyst.

I'm not assuming anything. They say she's wild and unstable. That has to do with how their personalities mix. Even Garnet says so in Cry for Help. That and Garnet can stay fused as long as she wants, and still make plans to separate. So time is not the only reason. How compatible their individual personalities are is a bigger factor.

I didn't say time was the reason for Sugilite's personality. I said staying together for too long was the reason she refused to separate and started attacking Pearl. The show basically said as much too, so I'm not really getting you're point.

I said you were making an assumption about their moods being the reason Sugilite unfused so readily because it is an assumption. And you are also assuming its usually difficult to get them to unfuse in the first place.

Amethyst seemed really exasperated by Sardonyx's antics. Do you think she is generally put off by Sardonyx's personality or was she just bummed that she didn't get to fuse with Garnet?

I think she was just jealous...she tasted the salt that day.

I mean ordinarily, Amethyst is such a fun-loving gal, so she should sort of get along with Sardonyx.

pyramid gem was corrupted

my blog

I hope Lapis was corrupted but she forgot, and she just...got better somehow, which will lead to other corrupted gems recovering. Probably not, but.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

It might have been that Lapis was in the early stages of corruption when her gem was cracked in the mirror. Maybe corruption happens when a gem cracks but... heals wrong, I guess? We actually know very little about the process, but it must have happened to hundreds or thousands of Gems on Earth.

Speaking of Lapis... the Lapis Lazuli gem is actually water soluble- ironic for a character who controls water, right?

Well, where is Lapis right now? Under water.

And what is happening to her? Her identity as Lapis Lazuli is gradually dissolving.

I think it's more that they're Malachite, but still, point taken.

Interesting about Pyramid-Gem. I really wasn't buying the White Diamond theory.

It seemed like the pyramid was built to give the Gem something to do as a task to keep it busy, as apposed to being Bubbled.

Otherwise I don't really see what the temple was there for in the first place. Unless humans made it as a place of worship or admiration for the Crystal Gems. I doubt it'll get addressed, but as mentioned before, it makes sense if early humans thought of them as gods descending from the heavens to wage their own incomprehensible war.

"No will to break."

Out of all these alternate outfits for Pearl's reform.◊

I seriously would have liked the one on the top left.

How does it being corrupted contradict that theory?

Who would care about the difference enough to build the temple over it? The Crystal Gems sure didn't, otherwise they wouldn't have risked their lives getting it out. And I really doubt humans would be capable of building that thing alone, even if they found the gem-powered mechanism and build the rest over it. For starters, the entrance is a door that disappears when you stick the key (which is a giant pyramid) inside of it.

To keep people from reaching that gemstone.

I like the third on the top.

That one would have been my third choice actually.

But yeah one of out of these six designs we're going to be Pearl's second form after "Steven the Sword Fighter".

What is the white diamond theory?

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play

How many diamond colors are there anyway?

The modern logo (seen on the space ship floor on Jail Break) has three colors, white, yellow, and blue. The older logo (seen on the training area and the wrecked ship) has four, white, yellow, blue, and pink. That's the source of the "Rose is Rose Diamond/ Pink Diamond" theory, as it would make sense that Rose's rebellion would get her kicked out of the heigharchy.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

Details vary, but the common idea is that the gemstone in the Pyramid Temple is White Diamond (or "White [whatever else]"; the others aren't necessarily diamonds).

Are we sure it wasn't just the NFPA diamond?

The theory is that the two other Diamonds on the Homeworld symbol, White and Blue, were already shown on the series as two different bubbled Gems. Supposedly, the Gem from the temple in Serious Steven is White Diamond, and the Gem from the lighthouse in Horror Club is Blue Diamond. While I feel that it is a promising theory, I can't say that I fully believe in it.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Those theories are similar, but separate.

I think the one about White Diamond has a decent chance of being true (at the very least that the gem is someone important) but the Blue Diamond one seems just barely possible.

Another theory is that the lighthouse gem is Iolite. Because iolites were used for navigation.

The resemblance is rather striking: just switch red to pink and rotate 180 degrees. I wonder if that was a coincidence or not. There's a bunch of references to geology, but chemical hazards aren't very closely related.

I mean, "chemical instability" is a good description of Peridot and Jasper, but Lapis isn't toxic and the Crystal Gems aren't flammable.

The only other one I've heard about Blue Diamond (and this one is an incredible stretch that, quite frankly, is dumber than the "Jasper is a forced fusion" nonsense) is that Lapis Lazuli herself is Blue Diamond.

And also, the lighthouse Gem looked like it was in the shape of a diamond. That's just my observation, but it wouldn't make sense why Blue Diamond would be in Beach City and get lost in a lighthouse.

You know I've been wondering recently why the random symbols have to represent diamonds.

The Diamond shape could represent gemstones in general not just diamonds.

Yuuush. I don't think all the leaders of Homeworld necessarily had to be diamonds, like Rose Quartz could have been one of them and still be Rose Quartz. I think it would have been a bit clearer if Lapis was one of them though.
