  • What makes White Diamond such a compelling antagonist and what will her relationship with Pink Diamond bring to light? Well we go back and look at everything we know about Pink Diamond and the ruler of Homeworld, things may not be as they seem. They might be worse, because perhaps White Diamond is overly protective and suffocating of Pink Diamond!

      @@user-wt5if6rx8m Yes. But maybe White isn't strictly abusive but overbearing and overprotective. Maybe White Diamond isn't even aware that she drove Pink away in the first place? You could also compare their relationship to that of Connie and her own mother. There's definitely a recurring theme with mommy issues here that's for sure.

      EDIT: Also the only thing i question is why would white attack the planet with an attack that would destroy everything (Or corrupt everything) if she completely obsessed over pink? Is she taking part in the "Game"? The way white spoke made it sound like she knew that rose was pink diamond all along... But i just dont know why she would attack earth with that blast... An attempt to get pink back? I'd like some answers please Rebecca!

      White is completely obsessed with pink diamond. That’s why she didnt help out during the war and didn’t make her self available as an ally towards pink and yellow and blue were addressed. That’s why she has no sorrow when seeing pink for the first time in thousands of years after thinking she was dead.

    Theory: I think White has future vision. Or she is just extremely smart. In any case she forsaw Pink faked her own shattering. Her plan was to get pink going back to homeworld just like steven did so pink could realize that the rebellion and the war, her little game, was a terrible idea so she would stay forever. That's why White sabotaged the diamond attack. If the gems weren't corrupted, her plan wouldn't have worked. What white diamond never saw was that pink would fall in love with greg and eventually gave up her form to give birth to steven. That's why she doesn't understand that steven is someone different.

    Maybe the relationship between Sadie and her mom could be foreshadowing of this too.

      This is especially interesting since, not only did Steven (who's kind of the "new pink diamond" if you will) do the performance for her, but the lyrics of the song Sadie was going to perform heavily mirror pink diamond:
      "I can't help it if I make a scene, stepping out of my hot pink limousine" (homeworld originally was lead to believe she was shattered right as she walked outside her hot pink palanquin, which is not only a parallel to limousine but also closely rhymes with it)
      "Well, everybody needs a friend, and I've got you, and you and you, so many I can't even name them, can you blame me? I'm too famous" ("you and you and you" could be Pearl, garnet and bismuth, but the others could all be the other crystal gems who were unfortunately lost in the war, but it could also mean the gems assigned to pink diamond's court, which could go with the "I'm too famous line" since she's royalty & her subjects would follow anything she said)
      "Haven't you noticed that I'm a star?" (the roundtable has made another theory speculating pink diamond could have been created from a comet/shooting star, which would also explain the star motif she chose for her rose quartz form)
      I'm sure there's more I'm not quite picking up on here but still, the parallel seems more interesting when you think about it honestly??

    @lyshayellowleaf Před 5 lety +157

    I mean I think there could be interesting parallels between our pearl and white diamond. If White’s obsession with pink is true we could compare that to our Pearl who became obsessed with rose “none of you could understand what we had” “I was the one she told everything”. Wouldn’t it be interesting if White thought “her pearl is too bad of an influence, we need to give her something to provide structure. Something like me.” Hence our pearl with her gem conveniently placed on her head. White could have been so obsessive that she made sure that Pink had someone like her with her even when she was out of White’s reach.

    I have a theory of the family dynamic. Pink the child blue and yellow the parents (because they seem more lovey dovey/touchie to each other then just sisterly love to me) and white the grandmother. White is the grandmother that is abusive to her kids but plays a nice facade to pink being the darling grandchild. It explains the nickname as it's something grandmothers do. She acts differently to the child then the grandchild and wants everything perfect get way. And just cause the abuse doesn't happen to you doesn't mean you don't notice when it happens to those you care about.

    In the episode, "Familiar" Steven sees Yellow and Blue and entertains them. Yellow was confused about how White Diamond would want to let Pink in her head, who had one colony that failed, while Yellow
    had several successful colonies. This concludes the diamonds were really close to Pink, especially White.
    White Diamond loved Pink Diamond and was probably annoyed when she really wanted a colony. White knew with Pink Diamond's sweet heart, that she wouldn't destroy Earth, and if white diamond can see through pearl's eyes or could see through the future, she must've planned to semi-permanently corrupt all gems on earth.
    She knew the other diamonds wont accept Pink and she would have to go back to homeworld to entertain the diamonds again. However, maybe, White Diamond must've just assumed everything, but didn't expect Pink to give in and take a new form as Steven, Heck, like the other diamonds, they don't completely believe Steven is different from Pink, but if/when they do I guess that connects to White Pearl being sad

    It all makes sense now! It's true that blue and yellow never truely cared about pink because they always ignored her requests and never really listened to her. But on the other hand white was always overprotective of pink and never misjudged her! All she wanted was the best for her starlight but in a "different" way. She never really considered how pink felt but just decided to do what she thought was best... No wonder why pink doesn't even miss homeworld at all!

    What I think went wrong with the Diamond attack:
    Yellow Diamond holds control of the physical form.
    Blue Diamond, a gem’s emotions.
    And White, their sanity and mind.
    So that leaves Pink to control the actual gem...but she wasn’t there.
    Now with that being said, if this is true then Pink Diamond has a dark power, the creation and destruction of the gem.
    What do ya think bout that, is it plausible?
    So some might ask “Well if the Diamonds knew about that attack then wouldn’t they know what would happen if Pink didn’t help?”
    Well to that I point at White Diamond!
    She presumably knew that Pink was alive all this time because her reaction to pink coming home.
    So what if white told them it would work perfectly fine without Pink? I mean she seems to be the boss Diamond, so they would listen to her.
    What if white knew Pink would survive it if it was just the three of them?

    Maybe it was because of PD's power over organic life that fascinates WD. That would also explain why she isn't red diamond and is smaller. She was an accident and because of this her power can effect humans and other organic life. This would also go with your theory of PD was made from something that cant just be ordered back or recreated and it could've been something new so when a red diamond was implemented it deformed and became PD. (And a side note. PD and WD have the same gem shapes which could mean that they were supposed to have the same power level. [That's a side not because the least amount of evidence supports it]).

    It's quite probable that White Diamond is obsessed with Pink and her activities...especially if she's responsible for Pink's considerable upgrade between the Jungle Moon period and when she was given overlordship of Earth...but I'd be wary about speculating on how much White knew about or believed in Pink's fate after her alleged shattering, since presumably PD in whatever form remaining on Earth would be obliterated once The Cluster emerged as designed. So, either The Cluster was kept as a secret between Yellow and Blue Diamonds alone, or White really did believe that Pink had been assassinated and wouldn't be coming back. (Yes, there is also the possibility that White, having knowledge of Pink's wormhole-creating powers, would think that Pink would simply use them to escape planetary annihilation.

And u can argue what a real diamond looks like but what if white was the first gem and to help rule made blue and yellow but not exactly like her and when pink was mad she was made like white and that's why white is so crazy for her

    I wonder if we are to interpret Pink using a star as the insignia of the Crystal Gems as a symbol of her “graduation” from White, a symbol of her growth and excision from who seems to be shaping up as an abusive, overbearing mother figure. It could also be a nod to her birth from a shooting star/comet, but I feel like it’s more powerful for Pink to have used her nickname from White, perhaps a nickname that came to encompass all of White’s toxicity, excessive protectiveness, her obsessive love, etc as inspiration for a symbol of her rebellion from Homeworld and, maybe more than anything, her rebellion White Diamond herself.
    I like the idea of your theory a lot, Vox. I think White as a villain would be far more frightening if there is nothing she wouldn’t do because of her love of Pink, no length too far or atrocity too terrible to commit, that she wouldn’t dismiss as necessary to keep Pink “safe,” as opposed to White being dismissive, uninterested in Pink, and bent only on keeping the status quo of Homeworld. Plus, like you mentioned, White Diamond representing denial in the stages of grief, would match well with Yellow’s anger, and Blue’s depression/sadness. I’d assume Pink represented bargaining, and by the end of the series, the final stage, acceptance, will be reached by the Diamonds and Steven.

She probably _knew_ she couldn't heal them herself, but she was NOT EVER going to look for a way to bring White into the picture again, as Rose _or_ as Pink (possibly because she was scared White would figure out that she was Rose, or because White already _did_ know Pink was Rose.)

  • @miair1126
    @miair1126 Před 5 lety +4

    I thought the same thing! Maybe White IS obsessed with Pink. She's so obsessed, she would do absolutely anything for Pink so that she couldn't cause any trouble. Maybe the reason why Yellow and Blue was so afraid of White Pearl/White Diamond when Steven and Connie fused is because they were too scared of what White might do to both of them. And if something bad happens to Pink, White might punish Yellow and Blue for not being responsible of looking out for Pink. It's like a mother in-charging two of her older daughters to take responsibility of their young sister that the mother is obsessed with. White's obsession with Pink might've turned Pink into a spoiled brat when we first saw Pink Diamond. (she was all demandy and shit.) which really sickens Yellow of Pink's drama and fame. As for Blue, she not only really loves Pink, but wanted her to rely on Blue. Blue never wanted to get punished by White so she decided to play nice with Pink so she and Yellow would be safe from White's punishments.
    After Pink has "grown up", she realized she can't get away from White. So she faked her death as being "shattered" so the people on homeworld knows that she's gone. After that, she disguised herself as Rose Quartz and start a rebellion to escape from homeworld.
    Until now, we don't know what White might do to Yellow and Blue after she saw Pink (Steven) fused with Connie. They both might get lectured, punish or something worse. But, we'll never know...

      Most likely Blue Diamond is in charge of Garnet fate on homeworld. From what was shown in the promos Blue does not respect Garnet at all.

I think that pink diamond has tried similar attempts at escaping white, and we’ll get a sense as to her passed efforts, and how they ultimately failed, in the episode “Escapism”. I really feel like Steven is pink diamonds ultimate escape. White diamond may be able to control the minds of gems, but does this power extend to organic life?

    Pink pearl may have never even been given to Pink Diamond, her creation intended, white diamond would have wanted to see this pearl before handing her over to pink. And after having a look at this pearl she knew she could never let pearl with pink. Pink probably knew about the pearl being formed for her, but would have been told that pearl would serve her purpose, but was not "perfect" for pink. Another pearl (our pearl) would have been formed to serve all diamonds, this would give her more of a submissive personality, and would have been handed to pink in the hopes of her learning to be more submissive

    Had a thought while listening to this one and had to comment. What if "White" Pearl wasn't abused because she was a bad influence, but because she was acting/being used as a proxy for Pink Diamond?
    If Pink is so precious to White Diamond (could totally see that as possible) but she was badly behaved, White wouldn't want to risk harming her precious baby, so when she needed to teach her a lesson she'd take out the results of bad behavior on someone much more acceptable to dish it out to: her Pearl!
    It's a classic Whipping Boy situation: can't harm the Princess so I'll punish this proxy that she is very close with and make the Princess watch, then she'll regret her actions via empathy/sympathy (another example of "bad" gem behavior?) but not have a scratch on her! It didn't occur to me as a possibility though until the idea of White being obsessed with Pink came up. It happened with RL royalty, and the Diamonds are gem royalty, so couldn't the same idea possibly occur to White Diamond?

Maybe it was playing a little fast and loose with Pink's safety, but I think it's been discussed already that White isn't on the most even of keels...

Pink's rebellion was expected knowing how spoiled she was, and white anticipates it knowing full well that her emotions were pink's greatest fault. Being her greatest fault, white then took advantage of this and decides to play her own game. We just happen to be the new unwitting "king" on the field...

      but were Humans always considered the enemy to HomeWorld Gems and most of the Diamonds!? but than tame them like they're some kind of Animals or Something! and the only planets they're afrering are the ones that have Organic Beings on them and want to try to Destroy as many as Possible ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    All I'm gonna say is just look at the gem placements. (on the pearls) in it will all make sense.

    I have an idea... is it possible that all diamonds(except to white) was an part of white like the pearls inside pearl??? Like, it seems that white is detached from all emotion and the other diamonds are full of it, but... for what??? Maybe because she was trying to eliminate the weakness inside her.

    We won't truly know what their relationship was like until the show explains it, but here is was I think. We saw memories of Pink begging Yellow for attention only to be dismissed and ignored for her childishness. Well if White cares about her so much that she gave her a little nickname then I think she gained Pink's favor. She gave Pink the attention that she wanted and although sheight have also Pink to be immature and young she might have listened to what Pink had to say. I think White was the one to allow Pink to gain her own fleet and planet. Yellow didn't trust Pink with that power, but no one gets in the way of White Diamond's little starlight's happiness. Pink might've found White to be scary and powerful like the other diamonds, but she probably respected her and liked her too. Pink used the star theme for her outfit as well as the outfits of all her rebel members so she must have liked the nick name.

    It’s funny how mad people got about the movie for changing white into a clingy grandma when looking back it’s pretty strongly suggested that she might’ve been like that towards pink from the very beginning.

    To add more stalkerness to white diamond; what if roses room is controlled by white diamond, or someway involved with her. That would also explain how she knew pink was still alive and also steven

    Yellow diamond in pinks ship: *_And were the ones to blame_*
    My sister said *_Maybe white diamond cares about pink bc the way she looks and they thought she’s not perfect, at the same time white calls her starlight because she came from a shooting star and that’s how she was made_*

      White is completely obsessed with pink diamond. That’s why she didnt help out during the war and didn’t make her self available as an ally towards pink and yellow and blue were addressed. That’s why she has no sorrow when seeing pink for the first time in thousands of years after thinking she was dead.

    Austric the reson why white calls pink starlight is because she came from a comet that traveled through the stars
