Vox: Shows suicide hotlines just in case.
*Everyone liked that.*
there was a line that eyeball said when she met amethyst(as jasper) saying she nearly dissipated her form when she heard she was on earth. perhaps it wasn’t just a figure of speech, maybe gems can poof in response to an emotional event.
Bump! This is a decent idea! I totally forgot about that!
Oh yeah!
or return to gem on command
Oh yeah! Forgot about that, Vox should take this idea into consideration!
You may be onto something there.
Amethyst: gets tired from being jasper for a few hours
Also Amethyst: Has mentioned multiple times that she was a toilet for a few months
Ye but as a toilet she was stationary, while she was japser she was constantly moving exerting more energy. Also japser’s form was most likely more complex and larger than a toilet.
Alex Photiou that makes sense, but she was a toilet for months, MONTHS. HOW
It's a lot closer to amethysts height?
don't forget about her being a horse in Ruby Rider
I mean, doesn't emotional energy count?
This is how many hugs spinel deserves
👇🏾
Itachi Uchiha clever
She deserves more than 37 hugs
Itachi Uchiha now she has 38 but she still needs more
C'mon! 100000000000000000000000 numbers more to add!
Like beggers... Always will be here.
I saw this heartbreaking comic that toyed with the idea that she tried to shatter herself and failed, poofing herself instead
Update: if you look up "ZeppyDingus tumblr thats what friends do spinel" you should be able to find it
Theres also a comic dub of it by "upopularjolibe" on youtube
"Oh yeah I saw it on tumblr"
I found it on Instagram lol
@@sacredtreasure212 same
JQuiggles2 same actually
Crap i saw it on CZcams
Can we get “Top 10 Worst Things Pink Diamond Has Done”? Pretty sure we can fill out that list pretty easily now.
More like, 15 or 20.
Bro more people need to read this
Spinel would be pretty low actually
1.faked death.
2. Lied to people she "Cared about" both diamond's and crystal gems
Left all her problems to a 14 year old boy
Gave pearl the illusion of her freedom
@@beastgamer2810 No, that's actually a good thing. Without her, Steven wouldn't have existed.
4:11
Eyeball Ruby said once
“I nearly dissipated my form”.
Doc the ruby said in back to the moon that when she heard that she had to look for jasper she nearly poofed out of exitement, it could have been a case of exageration but who knows
Jeez, that thought of her trying to to proof or even shatter herself is disturbing.
Very disturbing
Now I feel more sad for her 😢
I really hope that isn't the case that's just really sad
I cried
Wouldn't it be.. heart breaking?
Ahem.. I'm so sorry..
I'll leave now
I had a thought about Garnett's reformation.
A lot of people didn't understand her final piece.
Her piece is Truth.
Pink Diamond held the emodiment of a lie, her form as Rose. She was a walking lie.
Steven has never lied, his heart doesnt allow it. Him snapping the rejuvenator, crying out that what Spinel accused wasn't the truth, it metaphorically snapped back to Garnett.
Her break down in Pool Hopping emphasizes her inner turmoil, that she doesn't know what will happen anymore, the truth is out of her reach.
But Steven brought her back together, stabilized her doubts. Even if whatever around her was filled with uncertainty, there was one thing that she could never doubt was true, herself.
This is the best comment on here. I completely agree with this
Holy heck, thats amazing. This comment is underrated.
i believe during "drift away" when both spinels close their eyes, that is when spinel reformed. i feel like it'd be more-so a form of corruption because of how hurt spinel was.
EDIT: might i add during her regeneration, spinel didnt reform like all the other gems. she kinda just,, transformed instead. what gives me this idea is the way her spiked pigtails became part of her form. idrk how to explain it but hopefully yall can kinda catch on to what im saying
That makes sense. Garner even said in one episode that being corrupted is like 'the fabric of your mind is ripped', so maybe it's never happened before because stuff that Spinel went thru NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
Well she technically only had one other form so that’s why her reformation shown in drift away looked so simple so that’s pretty much why
Yeah like how pink diamond could easily become rose quarts without poofing. Just by moving her gem
Yeah, i think your right.
Reese Fuentes \ yeah i know what i was saying is unreasonable lmao. it just seemed kinda different to me
"2005 DeviantArt Spinel to 2007 Hot Topic Spinel" BRUH 🤣🤣🤣
There is ONE instance where we've seen a gem change form without being poofed.
Corruption. A breaking of the mind.
Exactly! I think this was essentially a case of corruption without the Diamond’s involvement, meaning there isn’t a forced bestial transformation and the gem doesn’t lose their sense of consciousness, but the trauma and pain is enough to forcefully alter their appearance into a reflection of their inner emotional turmoil. I can definitely see a grievous enough heartbreak causing a poof so that Spinel reformed as she did once she discovered the truth about Pink Diamond. Garnet says something along the lines of corruption being “a tearing of the mind” and I can’t imagine a more suitable example of that statement than Spinel discovering her sole purpose for existing had abandoned her purposefully, lived a life without her, made new friends, and then DIED.
...wait... SO YOU'RE TELLING ME... ALL THOSE GEMS... Oh fuck this is like reading the last chapter of berserk...
@@sacredsin7282 YES! Finally someone who says what I was thinking~!
Did anyone notice that we can see Ruby and Sapphire in Garnet's reformation?
You can see them if you slow The video
Here, let me help you: 1:08
woah
Watch it in a slower playback speed. You can see that their gems are reversed, and that ruby is throwing and catching sapphire.
Oh yeaahhhhhh. Thanks
Kumon P Although, their gems are swapped!!
Amazing thing is how their gems are swapped
Looks like Rebecca Sugar confirmed the "heart attack" theory. The intense emotions caused by learning Pink Diamond was gone and had left her alone for all those years caused her to lose form and poof, then reforming into a twisted version of her original self, reflecting her newfound feelings of sadness, rage and hatred.
In the episode Caught By Jasper, a ruby mentioned she nearly "dissipated her form" when ordered to look for Jasper. This confirms gems can poof when faced with intense emotion.
Remember when we were trying to figure out who sings escapism? (OMG I WANT SPINEL TO DO A COVER OF EVERY SU SONG)
It was Stevonnie
In my opinion, if a Gem has enough personality change their form will change to suit what their gem feels....she did become deteriorated looking different just standing there...
I like this theory you presented :0
I had the same thought! Because that's basically what corruption is and the diamonds cause corruption.
I agree, I mean we saw pinks previous pearl who apparently got abused by WD explaining her broken eye.
So trauma can probably alter an gems form without poofing.
I can see this theory working with her gem rotation.
"I came here to take my anger out on a buncha strangers"
Its like she wanted to stay as her original form
Because like remember when she said “THEN STOP ME!” after steven was trying to protect garnet?
So maybe she wanted to restart as the real spinel so she wont remember that she was with pnk in the first place
*she might of known from drift away*
This is really sad. Like seriously this really hurt my feelings, I feel so bad for Spinel, and I really think this is what happened to her. Poor spinel.
The fact that there isn't more than one of her type of jem in the series though. Could it be that all of them were so annoying that they were ordered to be shattered and Spinel was the only one that survive and spared? 🤔
You should feel bad you know what she went through?
@@spinelismywaifu9669
Hell yeah. 6k years is a pain in the ass. It no telling what happened to her other gem types if that the worst thing she went through. Steven sort of an ass for not giving her more of his time to help her out, but then again he's 16 and now a teenager so at this point to be honest, it make sense of the ways how he treated the issue.
@@buckhill12 the average years that a human can live is around 100 so imaging like having a 600th great grandchild,him/her dying and then only will spinel realise shes been abandoned
@@spinelismywaifu9669
It weird how time works for them. Gems treat an thousand years as it was a regular year.
I just assumed she got poofed while stealing the injector and rejuvenator.
*watches video*
I wish I was a gem so I would just poof myself and become 6 feet tall
Great, another scary thing that can kill u (heart break syndrome)
Better to have loved and lost, y'know? I'd rather have loved ones and lose them one day than have no one at all.
@@thesandwich5321 Dr who quoted that as well, love it from that version.
yup
You'd be surprised who one of the most famous potential cases is.
I edited this comment so the replays make no sense
Crystal Floof I don’t think a suicidal spinel is ever going to be canon.
To*
Nononon when steven talk to the cluster they're still in conscious trying to find there other pieces. So why would spinel shatter her self if that would make her even more sad?
@@nathansumel2182 that's horrifying.
U WACTH THAT FAN ANIMATION DID U??!??????
maybe if you go through something traumatic that makes your personality change forever you can change form
Spinel didn’t seem to care when Stephen hit her with the scythe
And I think Spinel was punching herself
I know some gem has commented something like, “I was so excited I almost dissipated my form” so I feel like heartbreak could have been enough to cause her to poof
I think it would be very interesting to touch on the topic of suicide, just like many others have thought.
The audience has gotten older and more mature, and so has the show. It might be an appropriate time to talk about something like that.
The video already *did* address this topic??
A comic addressed this topic.
@@DrawciaGleam02 I know, I was agreeing with what he said :3
She could have poofed herself (tried to shatter herself but failed)
Edit: never trust autocorrect lmao 💩
I suggested that to Vox on Twitter but never got a response so I dropped it.
Box
This is my favourite theory. So sad, but makes the most sense to me. Dunno if a kids show is willing to brush up on the subject of attempted suicide tho.
A SUICIDE attempt!?! As dark as that is, that is a very good theory.
@@PooBoi_YT kids shows can be *_d a r k_*
Does anyone else remember that Ruby saying "I was so excited, I almost dissapated my form" ? Do you think she was so sad that it dissapated HER form?
Thank you for the depression break, that helped me.
I kinda feel she probably attempted to commit suicide. Which is pretty dark
She was hurting herself in the movie once
my crazy life totally make sense with how her character acts
Vox: she may have poofed out of a broken heart
Medical droid: We don’t know why, but we’re losing her. She’s lost the will to live
Nobody:
Polis Massan medical droids:
*I diagnose you with sad*
*_[... yeah...]_*
REX YOUSA GONNA BE DISCHARGED FOR THAT COMMENT.
Scott Bruckner I used to think being a good soldier meant commenting everything they told you. But we’re not bots. We’re not programmed! You have to learn to write your own opinions
@@captainrexofthe501st9 AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE STORM TROOPERS NOW.
There’s this animation on CZcams that pokes at the idea that spinel tried to shatter herself and then reformed.
Young Persephone where
Can I have a link?
My headcanon is that she tried to shatter herself and failed, poofing herself instead.
I think Spinel tried to poof herself by removing her gem from her body, as Jasper did to one of the monsters. and then Spinel reformed, grabbed the scythe and injector and headed to Earth
You realize that spinel represents borderline personality disorder and didn’t gain influence from any other gem, if I’m wrong I’ll come back and use the clown emoji
Honestly, Spinel probably did want to end herself- or just stop her grief. She DID let Steven hit her with the rejuvenator.
I’m just gonna assume her reformation was caused by extreme emotional distress, until last the Crewniverse confirms or denies it.
And here i thought she just reformed without being poofed
That's what I thought until I realized no gem has ever permanently changed their form without being poofed first.
I thought that its one of spinels ability😂 if u know shes sad then her heart will turn upside down HAHAHA sounds stupid right?🤣
@@johannfrancoistanyag5103 Nah, anything's fair game at this point lol
Did anyone think that she just did what pink diamond did? To reform ya know ???...
GreenHorse Hmm come to think of it maybe youre right😲 Although were did she get the idea of her new formm ://
"So Spinel might've tried to kill herself, but id rather not go into something that dark, so instead, for anyone who might need to hear this--" i literally started crying
The suicide one rang a bell with me, as i remember when i first watched the movie, there was a scene with a close up of spinels gem and i swear it looked like it was missing a piece... thought it was just me who noticed.
So this is basically the equivalent of a kids show character attempting suicide.
"I think she tried to shatter herself"
Edit: "Doc, if your reading this then, hi, clod :3"
Edit 2:: ummm me and lapis are really confused usually *[doc]* would have commented by now...
Shhh Doc is always watching
@@user-iw7dq4yw9z "lmao, no joke"
Hi! I'm Sara!
I know of *doc*
@Cindy You almost made me spit out my *Sour patch kids*
I already came up with this theory that either she tried to shatter herself or she happened to reform!!!
Malia _ you didn’t make this up
Ktkiller12 didn’t say I made it up it was a though I had and other people had not hard to see that
When one of the homework’s rubies saw amethyst as jasper they said I almost dissipated my form
If you think about it maybe heartbreak broke white pearl
Maybe White Diamond's pain and grief is what broke her instead. After all, pearls are far more delicate than diamonds, and being so mentally connected in that manner....
These comments aged well after the volleyball episode
You’d think after the first 2 thousand years spinel would get the hint that pink wasn’t coming back
p
Maybe it’s because time is different for gems sense there pretty much immortal. Time isn’t something as precious as it is to us so it’s easily brushed off.
well, considering that keeping pink diamond happy is the reason she exists and if she even touched that possibility it would mean her life now is meaningless, she has just in denial
It's also possible that since Pearl was ordered to do something and she physically couldn't disobey, the same could be regarded with Spinel.
I felt like the show should have touched on how utterly awful it is to force someone to do something like not speak about something or to wait endlessly.
right
When I leave my pizza rolls in the oven too long 4:00
Had these same thoughts about Spinel reforming herself on her own in the garden. It freaked me out how dark I went in to the thought but glad I wasn't the only one who shared it.
I think possibility one is most likely what happened. Spinel poofing over heartbroken actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.
Spinel Is love, Spinel Is new life!
I thought Spinel's new form was just meant to be a jab at the whole Pink Diamond changing her identity thing.
It's possible she took inspiration from her best friend.
7:31: YOU ATTEMPTED SUICIDE!?
No, he just went through bad times.
Personal for a sec last year I was in a bad place and a CZcamsr posted the same numbers you did, I am in a better place now. But if I didn’t see that number when I did who knows. Thank you for doing what u do and how u do it.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT IN UR VIDEO! they do need it...
What if someone knew she’d feel betrayed, what if someone we don’t know was on her side, During the point of Spinel going to the dark side she used the warp to go back to a particular spot to meet the gem to give her planet destroying weapons.
This is why I love your videos so much. You look at these unanswered questions as a mystery that has many possibilities that may be answered in the future while so many other people look at them as a plot hole or a flaw in the movie and criticize it
Conclusion : Ponytails are the best
Yeah
Handle bars for piggy back rides*
Oh Clothes beam, piccolo knows it too
Ever since I saw the movie I was thinking that the planet in the background of the garden scenes have a big heart shape hole maybe that's the planet Spinel was injected on so maybe that injector Spinel had was another spinel but she didnt know and she thought it was like a planet killer or something
i was kinda really sad in the middle of the night and i just decided to watch the video, imagine my surprise at the sensitive part. you made me feel better, thank you
My strong ongoing theory: a gem need to be “damaged” enough to be able to poof and reform. So what’s caused the damage?
She suffered emotional damage. Enough to be pooled and then reformed.
Alright, this is super far-fetched but it would make sense if you consider that it cuts away right after she’s crying (and we don’t see her stop btw)
i considered spinel's "emo" get up to be like the dark digivolution equivalent in this world
I wanna see Spinel's healthy glow up form after she hopefully gets the love she needs
I believe the theory where her heart broke so much that she shattered but I could see the self shattering as well
0:34 Yeah that part of the movie kinda gave me Salor Moon vibes
I think it was a suicide attempt
Edit: well everyone is saying that guess my idea wasn't special
There's one thing about gems' physical forms that I've been thinking about. Gems have to carefully choose how they reform. The body of a gem is merely a representation of themselves. It's entirely possible that Spinel changed so much on the inside that her body changed to better represent her.
i think she probably was so heartbroken that she pooped and then became angry and reformed with black tears and sharp features
She didn’t she moved her gem like pink dimond when she turned into rose
this
Only Diamonds and (theoretically) extremely powerful gems can change the position of there gem. This would explain Spinels gem since she is probs one of the most powerful gems in the gem hierarchy considering the fact that she is constantly changing her shape and stretching/shape shifting.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT
@@MykeThaOrphan0209 Just because a diamond did it doesn't mean other gems can't.
@@MykeThaOrphan0209 The creators havent specified exactly how strong you have to be in order to do something like that, plus I believe in a moment of that much pain, I think she could have done it.
When your so early the poll is 100% regardless of what you pick
“2007 Hot topic Spinel” next T-shirt to go up for purchase there. Love that
I've been having a pretty terrible week, and I came here to get my mind off of it. That reminder that I matter made me cry, I've been thinking the complete opposite lately. It really helped, thank you man.
Amethyst only had trouble with Jasper and Steven on his birthday, because they were bigger than their normal selves
If heartbreak could poof a gem wouldn't you think Pearl w would get poofed
Noel Bagot Spinel was alone on that platform, she only knew Pink her whole life. Pearl saw Pink as an escape to no longer be a servant and she experienced to see gems come and go. Spinel did nothing but stand in the same spot and wait for the one person she knew and trust to come home only to find out that she had a better life with new people who were better than her.
@@cynthia912012 I know but the love of Pearls life was really gone and how did everyone expect Pearl to feel. You saw how she acted in three gems and a baby
Noel Bagot you have a point there. But you need to remember that Spinel spent more decades sulking and doubting, without having emotional support. Pearl had people around her to show her that her happiness doesn’t need to come from one person
@@cynthia912012 I didn't really think that I guess your right but I still have one question..... Where is pumpkin 🤣🤣 last time we saw him was at the end of Change your mind
Let's don't forget in change your mind yellow diamond says (out of context) "A gem could CRACK under so much pressure!"
Gabriel [isto] I always thought that might be hinting at whatever happened to Pink Pearl's eye.
@@vilmublues752 but that's not her gem , her gem is not in the eye
I prefer thinking of a middle ground, remembwring how she began to attack herself in the steven battle, i believe she might have dont that and accidentally poofed herself from panic and confusion. I love this video btw my man!
R.I.P Everyone Who Died From Broken Heart Syndrome They Never Deserved To Die 😭😭😭😭😭 I Hope There Family And Friends Recover 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
maybe in pain Spinel just tried to take her gem out of herself D:
dare i mention when one of the rubies found out that an earth mission was to retrieve jasper she said, “i nearly dissipated my form”. maybe spinel just ‘poofed’ or ‘dissipated’ her form
just leaving this comment of appreciation for reaching out to people who might need it, it was just really kind from your part and I'm really touched by it. Thank you
They gems basically died and came back to life when they forgot their memories, if you kinda think about it.
Gems: Restore forms?
Pink Spahget: *y e s*
*IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO ADDRESS THIS- I was so confused before 🥺*
Thank you, Vox.. Your videos are awesome and I'm so glad that I discovered this show and your channel.
Why dose she smile when she gets rejuvenated?
Neon Wolf56 she was probably mentally unstable, after hearing that her friend was gone and she had been replaced, her mind was most probably not in the right... she probably wanted to forget what had happened to her, which is why shy had that specific weapon.
KDiN oh okay that is a good guess
Some would say that it was part of her plan. To get poofed anyway
I think she thought her mission was complete, so she would be happy? That just a guess tho
Didn't Peridot say something about stress being enough for a gem to poof? Maybe it's some kind of gem saying? Idk
Maybe she ended up proofing because she disobeyed a direct order from her diamond. She was told not to move until pink diamond came back but when she saw Steven’s message to the universe she ran to the diamond line. We saw in the series that pearl no matter how much she wanted to could not physically tell Steven the truth about rose/PD.
To me, Spinel’s black lines on her face look like she cried with makeup on
No they *EyElAsHes*
@Nev looks like masscara tho
wOw I wAs jUsT sAyIng whAt I sAw iT aS
I honestly thought that she poofed herself, or that she tried to shatter herself but failed.
I always wondered what would happen if a gem were to like, lose an arm or a finger or something. Getting hurt but not hurt enough for proofing always interested me.
★ *Patrick*- _"We should take __-Bikini Bottom-__ Pink Diamond and push it somewhere else!"_
★ *Squidward*- _That idea may just be crazy enough... To get us all killed!_
And THIS is how the series, its following movie and everything in the franchise's universe came to be... Yes, you heard me right, this is canon.
Personally, I think changing the orientation of a gem leads to different "presets" of the gem's form. Pink diamond has her diamond and rose presets, and spinel had friend and foe presets.
Wow putting out SU videos all the time now
Pink Lars of the stars haitus kills the channel lol
That's their job...?
7:34 at that exact moment I dropped my pencil....
*_[I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the first to say this, but in back to the moon, when 1F4 cut 4ND saw "Jasper"... Amethyst in disguise... she exclaimed: "When I found out this mission was to look for you, I nearly dissipated my form! It is an honor to finally meet you." Which might just be an expression but what if it can happen when gems go into shock, experience extreme emotions or something like that, that might be what happened to spinel]_*
I forget who did it but, someone drew a scenario where Spinel just ripped out her gemstone.
She most likely just changed, morphed, or something like that.
Yeah rose quartz did the same thing
@@malloryhughes9341 until pink was poofed during her fake death she just shapeshifted into rose but Spinel wasn't shapeshifting as she changed immediately into her new form after she regained her memories
