So, where do you stand on White having always known that Pink wasn't really shattered, or actually thinking she was and simply moving on/not really being emotionally invested to begin with?

I quite like the idea of her being stuck in denial, believing Pink wasn't shattered simply because she didn't want to.

I think White knew from the start. White Pearl immediately went to Steven to take him to White Diamond. Even if she assumed Pink was back because of Pink's ship arriving, how would she know Steven was Pink? Blue and Yellow only knew once Steven emitted an aura in the mental-world.

Either White can sense gems with perfect accuracy no matter their form or even if they are mixed in a similar group, or my own theory is that White can watch the gems through pearls and witnessed everything through CG Pearl, her original Pearl.

The Mario music makes it 10x funnier.
The Goofy howl and Ed Edd n Eddy sound effects also help.

So, where do you stand on White having always known that Pink wasn't really shattered, or actually thinking she was and simply moving on/not really being emotionally invested to begin with?
Pink's departure coincided with White secluding herself in her ship—and possibly some sort of radical self-augmentation—and she still hasn't left. Pink meant something serious to White at some point, even if it was always a very selfish, possessive interest.

I quite like the idea of her being stuck in denial, believing Pink wasn't shattered simply because she didn't want to.
Interesting, but as Obligatory Sarcasm points out, it doesn't explain how she identified Steven as Pink. Nor why the crowd was already gathered when Pink's ship landed. And White's talk about Pink's "latest little game" only makes sense if she knew/assumed Pink stayed on Earth voluntarily.

Maybe White only found out recently, like when Yellow and Blue did (somehow). But she logically must have been in the know before Steven's arrival, whether it was six hours or six millennia earlier.

my own theory is that White can watch the gems through pearls and witnessed everything through CG Pearl, her original Pearl.
That's quite a common theory, really. I'm not sure how to feel about the idea of White Diamond secretly being privy to all of Pink's time on Earth and Steven's entire life. It would mean White saw everything we have and more, in real time, but still thinks Steven is Pink and that either of them would want to return to Pink's old life.

On one hand, that is an awe-inspiring case of Evil Cannot Comprehend Good.

On the other, where do you go from there?

> "latest little game"

For some reason I'm picturing a series of attempts by Pink Diamond to rebel and basically getting roflstomped every time

Ok I have seen some episode in not order because cartoon network is useless when it come to SU, but I will coment on it.

So I saw the episode before the big revelation of pink diamond being rose and is pretty good, I was surprising to see Garnet emote this long and how she is forcing to see alternate timelines, granted she may go insane because that happen when you look to deep but hey!.

Also "paint me like one of your amathyst" I seriously didnt expect that reference, I laught for a full minute because of it.

Ah, you're just in time. The Season 5 finale is next week.

I believe the CN app has all the episodes of Season 5 currently released, so if you have a cable provider, that's a great way to catch up.

Not that I spend a lot of time troping, but, I was poking around this show's trope page looking for something to be angry about a character whose powers and personality could be a match for Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach longer story here  when I noticed that this show has a YMMV page broken into subpages and alphabetic categories.

This cartoon is really that YMMV?

[down]I have never seen a YMMV section that large before, or at least not for a show that's been around for less than a decade.

It's a cartoon with a huge fandom that's been running for five years with morally grey characters, LGBT characters, and a mostly-female cast. Of course it's going to have a huge YMMV page... Though there are probably a lot of bloated pages and misused examples. The What an Idiot page, for instance, probably only has one legitimate example out of about fifteen.

Yeah, it's good that a show like this exists, but by that same token that's exactly why there's going to be a lot of controversy. Some of it justified, most of it not so much.

Though to be fair, "not so much" probably describes most YMMV pages to begin with.

I think it's just because it's popular and been on a long time. Overwatch has two YMMV pages, and it's less than three years old and has no story in the actual game. A bunch of other franchises would too, if they weren't already split between various spinoff/sequels.

Ian JQ confirms what I suspected with Joe Johnston's previous post: Battle of Heart and Mind is a promotional title for the event (like Wanted and Out of This World). The actually episode title for the season finale is "Change Your Mind".

So would that make it a Double Subverted Working Title then?

It's not a Working Title at all, just mistaken to be one.

Just realised while looking at a common topic "What's Sapphire's weapon/Power?" that if Sapphire had to fight but couldn't fuse with Ruby she probably summon a blizzard using her psychic abilities,like when she was so upset she froze over Rose's fountain and caused it to snow heavily.Now imagine her being super pissed,instead of snow showers it's a raging blizzard,she's probably got a similar range of powers to Elsa thinking about it

Well, I saw the episode with steven going to homeworld and seeing White Diamond.

I´aint that well about diamond being simpathic considering they are space tyrant and all the jazz, is good to see they dont really get what steven is(and even a this point I dont think the main chararter get it ether), the part were steven is taking and dosent see rose ship is funny, how a plot point is used in a funny way.....

And how funny it was, seen a huge pink legs flying into space is something I didnt see since the 90, I used to miss that kind of batshit insanity.

And white is.....a thing, I dont know what to said aside aside of how cold she was, also the fact she was....expecting all the chararters, like she knew steven was going to visit her, that is suspicious.

So the last time I watched Steven Universe, Steven met up with White Diamond- that being said are there any current developments with White Diamond so far? Also White Diamond genuninely looks scary especially when being compared with her other sisters, kudos to that!
