* ForWantOfANail: Greg didn't go to Beach City, but went on to become a major music star. Not only does this mean that he meets Blue Diamond in Korea, it means that they way that the residents of Beach City look at him is completely different from canon- instead of "Steven's Dad" or "That guy who runs the Car Wash," they see him as a literal rock star.
** It's implied that since Greg didn't go to Beach City, Marty never went either, thus never met the future Onion family, and therefore Sour Cream doesn't exist in this world.

** The two Pearls try to talk a few times, but the first time they do it's from the perspective of a Pearl who values freedom highly and has had thousands of years to get used to the idea of "I can do what I want," and Blue Pearl who still sees herself as property of Steven and Greg- albeit willing property. This leads to an argument between the two and helps kick off Blue Pearl's character arc of learning how not to be a slave.

** A broader version of this is why Garnet and Sapphire didn't see Steven's arrival, or that Rose is Pink Diamond- there's an element of bias to Future Vision, and if they don't expect to see something, or look for it specifically, they can miss important details (like a certain Ruby trying to sacrifice itself for her Sapphire and creating a fusion).

* AdultFear: Blue Diamond was a terrifying, tyrannical leader in her lifetime; a fact that hits Steven hard as he grew up idolizing his mother.
** The reason Greg is spying on the Crystal Gems is partially because Blue Diamond asked him to, and partially because he's terrified that if they find out about his son, they'll try to shatter him first without asking questions. Later on, they capture him and nearly do this, which he finds out when he sees Steven in the Temple inside a cage.

* RealityEnsues: Blue Diamond mellowed out a lot once she met Greg. They spent years together, and she learned to love and treasure the Earth and the humans on it. This does not mean that she didn't spend literally millennia as a brutal tyrant and dictator of her people, whose atrocities are legend. Greg and Steven are horrified when they find out.

** White Pearl is constantly disgusted when she hears the things that Blue Pearl has to do for Steven- carrying him, making his food, reading to him, calling her "His Pearl"! Part of it is that she's incredibly biased against Blue Diamond, but she doesn't understand that these are normal things that one needs to do for a young human.

** In terms of physical strength, Lapis and Blue Pearl are no match for Garnet, who defeats and captures them pretty quickly when she catches them at the healing fountain. It doesn't help that the only ammunition that Lapis has, in terms of water to manipulate, are Rose's healing tears- which heal wounds.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Lapis calls out the Gems for being imprisoned for thousands of years, which they fire back that they weren't the ones who imprisoned her, Homeworld was. Lapis states that the Gems didn't even try to free her, but the Gems thought that all Gem-based items (like Lapis' mirror) were "dead" gems that didn't have a personality or memories, so they had no reason to do so. Lapis being imprisoned when she could have been freed was wrong, but the Gems didn't know she was there.
