"I can see the good in everybody. Even if it is very, very, very small."
Me and my friend's collaborative webcomic: Forged MenI would just like to mention that CN's announcement
for SU coming back is just the right size for an icon.
Opening Science doesn't sound nearly as cool.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Maybe Pink Diamond had an affinity toward roses. After all pink variants of a lot of gems are called "rose" (insert Gem type here).
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Rose Quartz: "The Crystal Gems never told you what happened to Pink Diamond."
Steven: "They told me enough! They told me you killed her!"
Rose Quartz: "No, I am Pink Diamond."
Steven: "No, no, that's not true! That's impossible!"
Rose Quartz: "Search your feelings; you know it to be true!"
Steven: "NOOOO, NOOOOOOO!!!!!"
And then Steven wakes up, with Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back on TV.
I don't like that theory. Rose shattering Pink makes for much better drama, and the reveal was too impactful and late to go back on it. It'd be a lie, and a lie is not a twist. In addition, it was revealed in the same arc where Steven encountered multiple enemies who would not relent, which parallels Rose and Steven, and had to be poofed. Or sent into deep space.
It is possible, but I think it would be a bad idea.

I mean, I was a supporter of the Rose is Pink Diamond hypothesis. The disappearance of Pink Diamond's symbol on the diamond insignia was clearly foreshadowing something. However after Jasper declared that Rose was Pink Diamond's, and especially after it was revealed that Rose was the one who shattered Pink Diamond, that hypothesis just doesn't make any sense anymore.

also look at their reactions when Eyeball told the Rubies about her. That's a trigger if I've ever seen one.
Also generally what we know about how Gems work, it never made much sense to begin with. Nobody ever contradicted Rose's Gem shape or personality, and Peridot called Steven some sort of Quartz. Besides, it's what I've been saying all along, complicated doesn't equal better. More often than not, good storytelling goes for the simpler explanation instead of something so convoluted it takes more questions to ask than answers it resolves.
After further research, I've found there are roses
that look like that (single roses), but that's not the kind used in Rose Quartz's Flower Motif (full roses).
My point is, that's probably evidence that Pink Diamond is associated with a flower, but not the same kind as Rose is.
Guys, can we stop wasting posts shit-talking some theory that fell out of favor almost a year ago, even before it was explicitly disproved?
No one here has supported any "Rose is Pink Diamond" theory since "Back to the Moon", they just made vague references to people talking about it in other places, inspiring lengthy, often contentious defenses of the obvious, responding to no one.

It still looks like a rose to me...specifically a heraldic rose
◊. Before modern hybridization techniques were developed, the "standard" image of a rose was a single rose, since that is the wild form. And the number five, besides being the most common number of petals for a wild rose, is also associated with the planet Venus and femininity.
