I wonder how other Gems will react to the Corrupting Light?

Like how would other main Gems find out about the truth behind it.

They were on Earth for that, yeah. They must have seen it happen, or heard of it.

It's been fun.

I don't what he means by 'main gems' either

It's rather general question which makes it difficult to answer

Technically Pearl, Garnet, and maybe Lapis are the only ones who saw it firsthand and remain around and uncorrupted. So I guess the question could be what Steven, Amethyst, or Peridot would think. I guess.

I was mainly talking about Homework loyalists like Peridot or Jasper.

[up] I think it would depend on their personality and how they found out.

They may know the real reason—Jasper look at a corrupted quartz and said "What happened to you?", but her tone suggested it was more rhetorical than literal.

Even if they do (and have since coming to Earth), it's anyone guess if that's public knowledge on Homeworld or something they were briefed on for their mission.

But remember, it was the Diamonds who caused it.

There is a lot we don't know about the corruption wave, but it is certainly possible the diamonds triggered the wave and it was most likely used at the end of war

I think it's likely that gems on Homeworld at least knew that Earth was a lost cause,news is bound to have filtered through that they losing badly,Gems being corrupted by weapon that they themselves created won't be public knowledge,neither would the fusion experiments they carried out before the cluster because of how badly it would reflect on their rulers.

The corruption wave clearly was nuclear option,in that there meant to be no survivors or witnesses to what took place there

Peridot didn't give a flying crap about those. I doubt most others would care about that or corrupting gems.

I think there may be some that care about the corrupted gems.With the forced fusions they could dismiss it since it was largely done to crystal gems ,but corruption effected every gem regardless of their side,for all we know their decision to use the corruption wave may have inspired actual dissent,especially if survivors are making it back and they know there are others still down there.

i have to wonder though, would the Diamonds have considered peace if Rose hadn't shattered Pink Diamond? The war with the crystal gems was causing overwhelming loses for their side and rapidly draining their resources for thousands of years,there's bound to come a point where they see the conflict is unwinnable,although the Diamonds might be just that stubborn that they would keep on fighting until they run out gems to deploy

The question is, would Pink Diamond herself give up what seemed to be her only planet?

You're assuming it was a weapon they developed during the war, not something they had long before but held off on.

You know, I just thought of a weirdly interesting crossover: Steven Universe with Animorphs. The Gems are commonly known by Humans on Earth, but the Yeerk's invasion is still kept a secret. Homeworld reluctantly deals with the interplanetary war of the Andalites, Yeerks, Hork-Bajir, ect, while the Animorphs and Steven progressively get more and more PTSD fighting their own respective battles. Maybe the Animorphs learn that the Crystal Gems still exist on the other side of the country and they go to ask them for help. In particular, the Crystal Gems being Hard Light holograms projected by mineral bodies might make them immune to Yeerks and Aquiring alike, or it might not.

Like I said, I wouldn't assume they've left yet.

The Gems put a lot of emphasis on their warrior class, yet the only wars we've seen them wage were (un)civil.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The Gem empire is probably like the bully that's only ever gone after soft targets. It's telling that they use largely close combat weaponry because they've never encountered anyone capable of fighting back,every battle prier to Earth was a Curb-Stomp Battle against primitive or non existent civilisations

I mean, I don't know if that's really true. The ships we've seen seem to have some pretty formidable armaments.

It seems like they mostly use ground forces because they're colonizers/resource thieves. No sense blowing up the place you want to take over.

It's been fun.
