Terrifying Supervisors...
Emphasis on terrifying...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Continuing that line of discussion on Blue Diamond: Well, as far as the corruption stuff goes, I'm still not quite positive that was something deliberate (or at least not necessarily something premeditated); a theory I saw floating around was that the corruption bomb was caused by the remaining Diamonds losing control of their emotions after witnessing Pink Diamond's death, or even as some sort of aftershock of sorts from Pink Diamond's shattering. Homeworld was indeed pulling out at that point, but we don't know exactly why*, and considering the Crystal Gems had no way of escaping the planet, it wouldn't really make much sense to deploy the corruption bomb with homeworld troops still on the ground.
* Centipede and Lapis's stories were quite vague about what prompted to call for evacuation, and whether or not that came before or after Pink Diamond was shattered.

I've always been on the assumption the corruption bomb was intentional and that's what brought about evacuation. But now it's brought up, I wonder if the corruption itself was an intended side effect. While not the clearest indicator, it's still worth noting that Peridot had never seen anything like Corrupted Gems before Kindergarten Kid.
A complete evacuation from an active battlefront takes a long time—Homeworld's diminishing forces could have prompted the Crystal Gems to advance on the Galaxy Warp or leave Earth on ships (their own or ones they'd capture), especially if they had some idea of what was coming.
A silly revolution that picks up steam and manages to kill a Diamond is also something you very much want to keep quarantined.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI definitely think Homeworld would be ruthless enough to do it. They made the Cluster, they clearly don't care by this point about destroying the planet. And yeah, their leader shattered a Diamond, they want her dead for that.
Warping the minds of every last Gem on Earth, then dumping all their dead into a monster that will crack the planet in 5000 years just to be sure is a pretty safe bet if you ask me.
On the other hand, one of the big takeaways from the last bomb is that the Diamonds aren't nearly as aloof, cold, and calculating as they were made out to be initially, so I don't think it's by any means guranteed that the corruption bomb was something premeditated. It's certainly not something that's been used widely, since Peridot and Jasper seem to have never encountered corrupted gems prior to coming to Earth.

A random a thought I had
Supposing the crystal gems get all the rubies but Eyeball,anyone else think that for the Rule of Drama she'll end up being recovered by Gem Empire?
It would be massive bombshell if Yellow Diamond learned that "Rose" was alive through the interrogation.
Or they recover all the Rubies but Eyeball who ends up lost for forever
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverInterrogation wouldn't even be necessary...she'd probably just spill the juice about the Gems willingly.
Rubles got that self-disposable attitude.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I kind of like the scene with the Diamonds "alone" with each other, because it shows that even at the level of the Diamonds themselves, they believe that every gem, including the Diamonds, has a designated role that they are meant to play. It's interesting to me to see that mentality hold even for the leaders.
I have a message from another time...Their surprisingly nice to their Pearls. Like I didn't expect them to freely show such emotions in front of there servants. I get being allowed to be emotional with each other buts its rather sweet that the Pearls are aware of their leaders emotional issues and help them out when asked.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I actually took an opposite view. They're willing to be emotional in front of their Pearls because they're just Pearls. They open the door. They sing. They're owned by the Diamonds, while the other gems are led - even if disloyalty can mean death. They have to be strong, commanding, cold, and disciplined so the other gems take them seriously. Which both helps with morale and keeps them loyal.

Expect the warrior and grunt gems to be openly chummy or aggressive ...
No in between...
Ultimately it would make more sense that they were, because the if the Rubles were like that, the Amethyst were...could be like that too.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Unlike the Amethysts, who gladly helped the Crystal Gems, the Rubies are loyal to Homeworld. As soon as they determine that the CG are the enemy, the friendliness disappears (when they remember their orders). Even Navy and Leggy will fight without question when commanded.
But since there are, or were, loyal Quartz during the war, I think discrimination and abuse destroyed any sense of purpose or loyalty to Homeworld.

Nah, they just really dislike Agate...and really do like CG Amethyst.
As has been said on the spoiler thread, that had to have been a much-needed boost for Amethyst's ego. Knowing that after fusing with Steven and finding kinship that they have each other as the underdogs, she's not worthless or unique in being a defective Gem. And all those holes in "On the Run"? they were all right there the whole time! Her sisters are still alive, or at least most of them, and they're good sports about it.

That Rose theory is good save for the face that Rose's shield may be her unique weapon. Both Bismuth and Eyeball confirm that not all Gems of the same type have the same weapon.
