* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: Downplayed.
** In "Everything A Growing Gem Needs", Pink Diamond manages to find a way to prolong experimentation on Earth after the other Diamonds pressure her to up production when she discovers that there are gemstones unique to it, including amber and coral (which are both organic gemstones that come from animals or organic life forms).
---> "My Diamond, I doubt that every society on Earth or organism is capable of producing an entire gemstone type - it seems more likely that we may simply find several potential new ones here." Pearl replied carefully.\\

** Funnily enough, this also serves as a call back to Peridot's own words in canon, that the organic ecosystems of Earth could produce unique resources that could benefit the empire. Here, it's shown how- entirely new types of gems are discovered and implemented on Earth before spreading across the Empire, such as Amber and Coral.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: In the ''Codex: A Pink Planet'' Chapter "Classes", it is explained that human-gem hybrids are considered higher in the Gem Empire's hierarchy than regular humans and off-colors, but they are considered lesser than their "true gem" counterparts (with the exception of pearl-hybrids, who are considered the same level as humans) and hold less authority than their pure-gem peers.

*** She also starts to notice and [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon actively tries averting]] this trope whenever she starts [[AbusiveParents acting like Blue Diamond or Yellow Diamond]], deciding to take a break to be with Steven instead of leaving Pearl to do it.
----> Pink Diamond sighed. She had been needing to do this meeting for a while, since she was getting a fifth permanent colony that would be Earthformed, and both her and Bixbite had fairly busy schedules. But she'd swear if asked that half of the things she needed to do would be better off decided by somebody else who had knowledge in that field, or could easily be delegated. \\

* RidiculousProcrastinator: Pink Diamond initially does everything she can to slow gem production on Earth to a crawl, though in this case it's done not out of laziness, but as a means of biding time for her to find a way to make gems without destroying the planet in the process. She was only able to get away with it with White Diamond's permission at first, framing her work on Earth as multiple elaborate experiments with promising results.
** Later on, she's been using the Kindergartens on Earth at "reduced capacity", so that gems can be produced practically forever without causing irreversible damage.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: With more scientific resources and thousands of years worth of previous experimentation in gem-organic hybridization, Pink Diamond was able to have Steven born via UterineReplicator, allowing her to keep her physical form.

* UrExample: The first recorded gem-human hybrid is Kemala, the daughter of an Aquamarine who had immigrated to Earth at some point after its inclusion in the Empire.

* {{Unishment}}: When Pink Diamond finds out that Kevin had sent out Prisms to terrorize Beach City to get Hessonite's attention, he disciplines him by basically making him spend more time with his mother Hessonite.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Pink Diamond puts on a brave and wise face towards the Earth and the people that live there, but Greg was quick to realize that her [[AbusiveParents history of abuse from her fellow Diamonds]] have led her to have massive reserves of self-doubt and a pathological fear of disappointing others.

** Music/DavidBowie, Music/{{Queen}} and Music/EltonJohn (or at least their songs) exist in this world.

* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: Experimentation with fire salt has eventually led to humans [[AlienLunch adding it to some of their dishes]], [[ForeignQueasine though gems and humans that have developed a tolerance for it are the only ones able to stomach it]].
