It was bad enough when it was assumed that Pink Diamond was only technically his grandma, being Rose's creator.

Now I'm imagining Blue giving Steven a spanking for fibbing. tongue

The idea of Blue immediately switching gears into overbearing mother figure amuses me greatly. Like I said— "You are so grounded when we get back to Homeworld, young man."

So I've seen it brought up on tumblr and in other trope pages that Pink Diamond essentially cosplayed as her Gemsona Rose Quartz. She even gave "Rose" a bunch of Mary Sue traits.

Well, shit.

Lmao I felt so dumb, I hadn't watched SU in a while and my mind was sort of elsewhere while watching that clip that when I saw Rose turning into Pink I was just thinking "Wait.. Rose shapeshifted into Pink? So that means the real Pink is elsewhere?"

I thought as much for 20 seconds or so before I finally got it. Doiii.

Her Gem just turned over?

Yes. She changed the facing of her gem to hide that it was a diamond.

Something in regards to Garnet's flashback,the only non stylised part was when the Rose protected them from the Diamond attack,Garnet was actually there so it definitely happened

Rose Quartz isn't a gemsona, she's a disguise.

If the Rose Quartzes are natural healers and so is Pink, then that's just convenient.

Except they aren't...because it's a trait that people said is specific to her while other Rose Quartz aren't acknowledged in literally any way.

[up][up] It's a Gemsona because Pink Diamond wanted to be "Rose". Rose wasn't just a disguise. Rose was the idealized self she wanted to be as opposed to the Pink Diamond whose own sisters didn't care about her (in her mind at least).

Rose Quartzes likely were healers,it's just resurrection powers are something tied to her especially

I wonder if we'll ever get to see a genuine Rose Quartz in action. I'm still willing to bet that they actually have the same abilities as other Quartzes like Amethyst and Jasper and use rolling attacks.

Greg: "I barely even know you!"
Rose: "That's a good thing."

That exchange just keeps getting new meanings.

Something that keeps striking me in all this is that the reveal reinforces just how much alike Steven and Rose ultimately are. Given all this it's now way to easy to imagine Rose Quartz lamenting why she never asks follow up questions.

The difference is that Steven has been maturing quite quickly over the course of the show. If Rose matured at all, which I'll not banking on since so much of the Crystal Gems' character development in general seemed to stem from Steven and Rose's in particular from Greg, it would only have been after the Gem War and corruption, and the realization of how far everything went.

That said, I'm not entirely sure Rose was ever that introspective.
