[up][up]Can get a source that “polish twice a year” applies to diamonds, but not quartz?

for the record,here is the article in qeastion

There's no comparison of a quartz and a Diamond but there is this

"How often you clean your diamond rings and other jewelry is dependent on how much you wear them. Diamond rings can withstand more wear and tear than, say, a cameo or opal ring. Since diamonds are more resilient, they can be more aggressively cleaned more often"

It's kind of funny

It's too obvious to hide too much foreshadowing in normal dialogue and songs so writers hide hints in ice cream sandwiches and crossovers

And if anyone finds the hints nobody will believe them because we're conditioned to dismiss the crazy theorists that talk about ice cream sandwiches and shoe colors

Wait, how does Pearl justify to te other cristal gems having a pink diamond on her space suit?

Also, after rewatching so Steven Birthday, is funny steven can't hold a shapeshift for more than a day considering what her mother did.

Also I don't understand how if steven didn't grow up since he was 8, why did it take so long for him to realize he didn't fit in the toy cars in Too Many Birthdays?

Why would she need to justify it? They know she used to be with Homeworld like basically every other Gem, presumably it's a leftover from when she left.

Well, i guess having his dad being named Yellowtail was a potential red flag.

My theory is that Yellowtail is an alien. That should explain his gibberish other than Rule of Funny

Yeah, Peal being in Pink Diamond's court is an entirely valid half-truth.

It's not even a half-truth, it's just the truth.

The answer to the question "was Pearl owned by Rose Quartz or Pink Diamond?" ended up being yes.

I'm not sure the Mathematician's Answer works for either/or questions where both options are correct.

Another common form is when a character is asked "Is it A or B?" they will respond "Yes" as if it were a question of Boolean logic rather than clarifying which specific one is the case (though this can also occur if the responder does not know the answer, or considers both answers correct. This crops up a lot in Real Life, especially in the world of computers). This occurs because a question of the form "Is the capital of Australia Melbourne or Canberra?" is ambiguous between "The capital of Australia is either Melbourne or Canberra. Which one is it?" and "Is the capital of Australia either Melbourne or Canberra?". A logician may misinterpret a question of the first kind as being one of the second, to the frustration of the person who asked the question.

@Fawful Crump: It's a valid Mathematician's Answer so long as you accept that question could be using the inclusive or.

"Was Pearl owned by both Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz" would also be "Yes".

Does anyone else feel a little let down by the big reveal? I mean, there were fan theories back in season 2 that predicted this, noting the evidence and so forth. Then we heard that Rose shattered pink, and that shape-shifting had limits and would put stress on a Gem's body, and Diamonds are super-tall. And now we find out that all of the second-season theories were true, and the Diamonds have different rules. It feels like "Oh, so I was right the first time."

[up] Pink Diamond is pretty tall. And I imagine compressing yourself into a smaller shape is easier than indefinitely maintaining a larger form. Heck, maybe that's one reason Rose Quartz is so much curvier than Pink Diamond.

Rose also took a lot of alone time.

Apparently nobody could get into her room but her.

And also. I sure hope we learn something about the temple at some point.

And I think the "evidence" is being overstated. There are things that, in hindsight now fit well with this, but those things by themselves weren't strong evidence for it.

TBF, the writers themselves referred to them as "elaborate breadcrumbs". So they were hints.

Come to think of it, Steven's bout of cat shapeshifting was a hint too, since he also wasn't limited to his original color palette.

Cats are a bit of a recurring motif for Steven, huh?

There's Cookie Cat (HE'S A PET FOR YOUR TUMMY), the Akira-esque undifferentiated cat blob Steven turned into during his first brush with shapeshifting, Lion obvs, and Cat Steven
