The importance of earth here reminds me of the Justice League two-parter Starcrossed, right down to the Cluster, which isn't there to destroy earth but to create a transit hub for the Empire which just involves the earth becoming uninhabitable, similar to the Thanigarian aims in that special.

It follows that their motive may be similar, they're fighting a war in which Earth is just a pawn, and we may see something more dangerous come by...

Why was Sugilite voiced by Nicki Minaj?

Because all fusions are voiced by musical stars

I think it's true that the Crystal Gems didn't rebel against Homeworld for the sake of humans.

The thing is, I'm not sure that's necessary? Or even what Rose claims.

She even gives Peridot a chance to return back to Homeworld, and even then only sends a fleet out to ask Peridot where Jasper is.

The Rubies didn't even know Peridot was Peridot. She was just a gem they locked on to.

I would point out that Yellow Diamond might not know Peridot survived the diamond communicator self-destructing.

I think Yellow Diamond "doesn't hold grudges" in the sense that she honestly doesn't expect the recipients of her ire to live that long.

I don't think Yellow Diamond cares. She is just a Peridot who was either killed by the exploding communicator or will soon die to the emerging Cluster.

It's also worth noting that, at the very least, Blue Diamond herself was present for the campaign on Earth.

Like. Maybe Earth just has a lot of natural resources for gemkind? We have so much quartz. Our beaches are covered in the stuff.

The Diamonds had their own moonbase. That communicator was for diamonds to talk to other diamonds. And that moonbase is older than the colony itself was. At least one diamond came to the moon to scout out Earth before anyone else.

For whatever reason, they wanted Earth. Badly.

A high-ranking Quartz rebels, and manages to fend off the personal court of at least one Diamond. And basically wins.

Symbolically, that stings.

Symbolically, the Terrifying Renegade Pearl that can poof or shatter a powerful Quartz in a single stroke is even more of a threat.

A fusion between gems of different castes is horrifyingly symbolic in its implications.

Like.

We know a lot of reasons for Yellow Diamond to hate the Earth. Nothing good for the Diamond Authority has happened there. Everytime she looks at it she is reminded of failure after failure after failure.

Countless acts of betrayal and defiance.

Like, all fusions are voiced by musical stars. I was skimming through this thread once and someone said that garnet being voiced by Estelle was in retrospect foreshadowing for her being a fusion and it's amazing nobody picked that up after multiple other fusions had been shown.

Same type fusion Ruby Red isn't.

Also because Sugilite's just that big.

Okay, I forgot that one. What I should've said is cross-type fusions.

[up][up][up] That's the type of theory that would have made me roll my eyes really heavily if I saw it. It's up there with "Jasper's a fusion because she has stripes".

That theory's pretty legit though...it at least has basis.

Stripes have not to do with Fusion.

I have to wonder if rank's just that important that Jasper's fuckup is why they're looking for her to bring back to Homeworld for punishment.

And I don't imagine Jasper will be happy to hear about this. Because like Peridot, Homeworld knows she fucked up on her mission, so she's going to have to do something to get back in their good graces. Like say, trying to reactivate the Cluster.

Granted, Pearl wasn't a fusion. I doubt that Estelle was chosen because of the fusion thing, though someone might have noticed this during production.

They would've had to have thought of that after making the decision of who they'd want to voice the 2nd ever fusion.

So how much of Gem technology is made of Gems?

Like. It was confirmed that Steven's healing spit would have "healed" the warp pads if his healing powers worked consistently.

And they can apparently put gems in mirrors.

And gem harvesting is a thing.

About motive for the rebellion, Pearl since to bound to Rose in some way and follow whatever ideal of her, is dificult to pin down how much she belive her and how much is the love that bright like thousand suns for her(I meant her recount of the war is almost epic story for her because of Rose)

Garnet also feel Rose since it allow to be herself, also she seen more about fighting Homeworld draconiant rule

And Amathyst see to like earth the most, as she can chat with human, like Tv,Wrestling and food(unlike Pearl who consider gross)

But I think neither of them have the deep love Rose have for earth, she talk about life and seen to be very found of humans(to the point of marry one) the CG seen to like earth and life, but they dont try to understand Human behivor and seen pretty apathic in general, is part of Steven charm to grounded a little bit

But is hard to said about the rest, until that we cant but guess

And dont be wrong, Yellow diamond HATE being question, it going against the whole cult of personality the install, just look Blue diamond response against Garnet

"is this the most interesting period of our character's life, and if not, why aren't you showing us that?""

Because, what can you show being intersting enought? sometimes is wise to leave some things unanswer
