2.5 MJ to boil off one kg of water. Boiling off 10 tons of water to empty a swimming pool = 25 GJ
Doing so over say three hours ~= 10k seconds
Constant power output = 2.5 MW
Photon drive at that power (divided by 300 MW/N ) ~= thousandth of a newton
Assuming Rubys have an actual mass of 1 kg (the projected forms are fakes that gravity tether when standing on worlds) -> Acceleration not quite one ten thousandth of a G.
Randomness believes it's because she's delusional, though there maybe something more to this..."personality" thing she has goin' on.
It's complicated.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So here's a theory:
This theory covers who shattered Pink Diamond and it continues multiple other theories that have been thought out before.
As we know Pink diamonds represent love, creativity, and romance. That could mean that PD was actually a good gem. We know that from PD's mural, she only had one colony and that's Earth. Why does she only have one colony? That seems strange doesn't it.
Now, I'm just going to say it. White Diamond actually shattered Pink Diamond. WD is clearly top in terms of Diamond Hierarchy. WD was likely upset that PD was more focused on "useless" things like love.
Now this was pre-Rose creates the Rebellion. WD confronted PD after she possibly rejected WD plan to turn Earth into a crystal colony. I mean, we know what would happen if it did. Earth would be lifeless, if PD is a good gem, she won't exactly want that. Perhaps that's why she never had a colony and why WD hates her?
Okay but what does this have to do with PD being shattered by Rose, which Eyeball said she saw? It's simple, Rose was simply present before PD was shattered by WD and WD used Rose to frame her (or it was coincidence that Rose was present.) - Pearl was also present.
Wait, what? Pearl was present? Well I say that because, when Eyeball said Rose shattered PD, Pearl was showing visible discomfort. Pearl is white colored. We can visibly see that. But why? YD's Pearl was yellow. So does that mean Pearl belonged to a different Diamond and not PD or Rose? Maybe White Diamond? Possibly. Pearl was likely present when PD was shattered and defected from WD's court because of this and joined Rose. Maybe that's why Pearl regards herself so highly as Rose's most loyal follower and why she thought she knew everything about Rose, because Pearl was the first to join Rose's rebellion.
Well, regarding Eyeball Ruby. Eyeball only saw some of what happened. WD probably framed Rose in front of Eyeball. I mean, that can't be far off, right? Without spoiling, how many times in fiction have fans been mislead by what one character saw verses what actually happened?
What if Rose wasn't just motivated to free Earth just for the sake of life? What if Rose was trying to fight off WD because WD killed PD?
So what do you think? I personally see stuff like this as making things much more convoluted than they need to be and the person who came up with it admits it's mostly just speculation on their part.
Personally, I don't get the mental gymnastics people are going through over this. Obviously we don't know the entire story but I don't understand why so many people are desperate to come up with reasons why it totally wasn't Rose.
Sounds Asura's Wrath-esque. Well with the whole Physical God framing someone for murder thing. Not the part where the MC went on a rampage of revenge. That's more Jasper's deal.
Yeah, I'm still not happy with it. Rose did morally iffy stuff! The diamonds are all evil! Who knew??? What a shock!!! Jasper will probably never be redeemed and the Rubies will probably all die in space!
Does Connie?
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.I just thought of what Rainbow Quartz's weapon could be when Steven and Pearl fuse: A double-bladed staff, with a sharpened half of the shield on each end.

"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawPearl and Garnet's reaction to Eyeball telling everyone that Rose shattered Pink Diamond gives it away, as does Jasper's rage and hatred. Pearl and Garnet didn't want Steven to know what Rose did (at least not yet), and if they did, wanted him to be told with much more sensitivity. If Eyeball was misinformed, Pearl and Garnet would not have reacted the way they did.
As for who Pearl was created for, I want to see more of her backstory. We have next to nothing.

Expect an upper-class HW Gem who ends up not having a Pearl because the CG Pearl left her...and she didn't get another one because no other Pearl could ever replace the one she truly cared for.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.She should be a lot pale-r if she originally belonged to WD...Gems can't change color, brooski.

Carnel-ah, beat to the punch.
