Steven Universe

People have pointed out those "legs"◊ could actually be the knuckles of another arm ship.

If that does end up as Yellow and Blue's ride home, that would logically have the issue of Era 1 ships supposedly being way slower (possibly even slower-than-light). A couple possibilities:

• They salvage the gravity engines from the other wrecked arm ships (or even the Sun Incinerator).
• Gravity engines did exist in Era 1, but they were very rare.
• Even if it would take too long to get to Homeworld in such a ship, they can still get somewhere that does have a fast enough ship or a line to Homeworld.
• Era 1 ship can't make it from Earth to Homeworld in hours like it seemed to take in "Stuck Together", but even they only take a few weeks or months.
• The trip actually is so long it outlast the time frame of the series, effectively writing the two of them out.

Or someone has enough reason to force it open, even if that risks breaking what's inside.

They could fix a warp and use it to return. They could use Captain Lars' stolen ship. White could come and take them back.

Hey, doesn't the temple have a Hinduism-inspired statue? One with multiple arms, in a setting where arm-shaped spaceships exist?

Just remembered Rose's light cannons,I wonder how differently the battle would have gone if they had time to set them up

Against the Diamonds? Really doubt they would have made a difference.

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

Well they are artillery and they were probably made with taking down Gems in mind,so I expect they could some damage

Or the ship itself could have a line to homeworld.

So was Rose's sword, and Blue snapped it like a twig. The light cannon already got worfed against an arm ship, so they'll probably won't do a thing to the Diamonds.

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

Ah right, even the communicator left in the moon base could transmit instantly to Homeworld.

"What is that!?" "It's the Cluster." "It does not look like that."

I’m still a little disappointed Cluster didn’t look like a giant sock puppet.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.

It's big enough to wear one. Steven (and it probably would be Steven) just has to make it.

I wonder how much thread that would take? He'd need some giant buttons, too...

The Gems were on a pinkish structure away from both the moon and the Earth in the second intro before they warped away...

There's a fancomic out there that has Peridot explain that it's inaccurate because the Cluster is purple, not green.

Disgusted, but not surprised

If we're trying to figure out how to get Blue and Yellow Diamond home, I can see two ways that are feasible.

1) Steven repairs the Warp Pads and BD/YD use those to get home. Yes, they might have to shapeshift a bit to get to a size where they could use them, but I'm presuming that, if Amethyst could easily shift such that she was a set of limbs and a head popping out of her gem, a Diamond could shift to a slightly more reasonable size for long enough to use a Warp Pad.

2) Peridot manages to cobble together a ship for them to get home (possibly with Bismuth's help - look, I ship it, okay?). Sure, they need repairs, but most of the armships are still right there with usable components, even if they can't just be repaired. Even if Peri doesn't have the information in her memory to do it, there are probably on-board computers that could be easily repaired to do it. Failing that, Lapis could do Peri a solid and finally pull Peri's limb enhancers and related screens from the bottom of the ocean (it helps that we know more or less where they started - right where Amethyst dumped them).

There are other ways, of course (Lars finally arrives and they use the Sun Destroyer to get home, some other amazing gem tech that summons a ship), but those are the two that strike me as easiest.

Do they have the same voice actors? I swear they sound different.

These are great

Yellow Pearl emerges from the armship

Blue Pearl too

I kinda wondered if the Diamonds brought their Pearls along - that artist clearly decided on "yes."

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

I suspect they didn't bring their Pearls as they felt the mission was dangerous for them,the shadows we saw in trailer might be their Pearls bringing fresh transport ships

We don't even know why they came to Earth. I mean, I'm assuming Yellow wanted the Cluster, because she made a bee-line right for it, but I'm not sure WHY. Last time we saw her she thought the Cluster is still waiting to emerge, yet here she arrives and tunnels into the Earth and unbubbles it, as though she knew it was bubbled.

Those are hilarious!

My idea is that Yellow got tired of waiting, so when they came and saw Earth was still intact, she went "fuck it" and made it emerge herself.

So uh, in other news... Here's an interesting post about Prosecuting Zircon.

Because she wanted the Earth blown up just then? And not really. They only need to know where it is to try and force it to form by digging it out.

Why would digging up the Cluster make it form if it wasn't ready to "hatch" yet?

It was ready...a long time ago.

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

>Why would digging up the Cluster make it form if it wasn't ready to "hatch" yet?

Gives it more room to expand basically,like breaking the shell on a chicken's egg so chick can hatch

She probably assumed it was ready, but just couldn’t come out on its own.
