  • Is it possible that some of the powers that we think of as universal for gems are actually derived from just one single diamond? Why did they keep a seemingly useless Pink Diamond around for thousands of years if not for some specific purpose? Is it possible she provided resources that didn't just help with the number of gems being created but also the powers they have?

    An interesting theory. I personally believe that Pink's Diamond ability has to do with the 'soul'. We know that Yellow's powers are physical, Blue's are emotional, and White's are mental. So, what is the glue that holds that all together? The soul, and that's Pink. We know through Steven that she is able to possess things and establish mental connections with other gems. The movie brings up the theory that her unique power is to rejuvenate people, which makes sense based on the fact that the rejuvenator is pink. Possession and rejuvenation both remove the sense of self, which can be synonymous with soul in this case. In addition, when Blue, Yellow, and Steven heal Centi/Nephrite in LFHTH, Steven allows Centi to get her emotions under control and speak full sentences, which could also allude to the soul.

      The zircons served as lawyers in the court and therefore represented their diamonds' cases.

See how Blue zircon was panicking and trying to save Steven (as Blue diamond also kind of didn't believe he had done it) and yellow Zircon persecuting him with speed (as Yellow Diamond wants Blue to move on from this as soon as possible, etc).
      A fun fact: Cubic zirconia are also considered to be simulated diamonds, so it makes sense that these would be the gems they chose to represent the Diamonds in a court

    Sorry but no... Pink Diamond being the only Shape Shifting diamond is silly. You say “yellow has electricity power” “blue diamond has emotional powers” “so Pink Diamond’s exclusive power must be pink diamond’s power”.. Um... Pink Diamond’s exclusive power is healing and stuff. We know that every gem is a hologram light with a gem as it’s source. Therefore, they can bend light just like Pink... just like every other gem. If it’s complicated to explain and you gotta take huge leaps, then it just isn’t gonna be likely true.
    “All gems can shape shift. The reason the diamonds don’t shape shift and other Homeworld gems don’t shape shift is because it’s seen as negative to their given form. Pink diamond and Crystal gems choose to shape shift because since they don’t serve Homeworld, they just do it”.

    I think that pink diamond is the gem that is responsible for giving other gems their abilities, or has a very large part in that process, not just shape shifting which in of itself is an ability. With peridot we can speculate that she used Stevens toothbrush, Steven is pink diamond, and in “too short to ride” she found out that she had the ability to telepathically control metal...that is not a coincidence. We also need to consider that both white and pink were missing since white hadn’t left her head in a millennia...I think yellows contribution is physical, blues contribution is emotional, pink represents presence so she gives the gems their abilities, and white represents brilliance and makes sure that all gems are perfect. Pink was way more important than we give her credit for!!!!!!!

And from pinks power they made a rejuvenater but it is less powerful as pinks power just like yellow and gem dystabiliser

  • @arseen33
    @arseen33 Před 4 lety

    This is like my favorite theory now. What if it's like... the Diamond's powers are the part of their personalities that handle emotional pain? As in like it's their emotional defenses and also their physical defenses. White Diamond reacts to pain by covering it up and being controlling. Yellow doesn't like to feel her feelings so maybe she's like someone who would rather get angry and project on/tear down others when she's hurt? She destabilizes people. I'm not sure how well it fits with the character, but maybe Blue is the equivalent of someone who guilt-trips when in pain. If White is like her parent, she probably hasn't known much compassion. Some people are understandably starving for empathy but can get a little manipulative about getting it. I don't think some of those people even realize they're being manipulative.
    You know how some people mold themselves into whatever kind of person they think you want them to be? I think Pink is like the opposite of that. Sometimes when people come from a situation like hers where no one really seems to love and appreciate you, you learn to love and appreciate yourself but it's not in a healthy way because you don't love your whole self. You have a version of yourself in your mind that's pretty great, and also the version of you on the outside that's made from all of the negative ways you're treated by your family and it's full of shame and anger so you avoid its existence like the plague. You want people to see and interact with only the good version of you in your mind so that's the mask you put forward. If you don't get the right reaction, you change masks a little. You're vying for their reaction. If Pink feels pain maybe she just shifts how she thinks about herself in respect to the situation until she feels relief from it. Feeling guilty about abandoning Spinel? It's cool, just become a literal paragon of empathy. No one blames things on those. If other people don't see painful things about her maybe it's like the pain isn't there at all. She shape-shifted it away.

    No, So, White has Mind Control, Yellow has Destabilization, Blue has The power to make people cry, but Pink has the power to Heal, I'm sure they can all shape shift but they choose not to, Pink's power isn't Shape Shifting because most gems can already shape shift, Pinks real power is the power to Heal.

      Probably not. Her gem base I don't think can be altered after being created. Kinda like how the ratio of diamond oil is basically like your DNA. Sure it can be healed, but not altered. In theory, if a gem were exposed to a form of radiation to alter their gem base they could gain powers...but be more likely to end up getting corrupted or shattered.

      and those alterations were first made by the corrption blast. That, like Danny said, is most likely equivelant to radiation. A good analogy I feel would to be to relate the original blast to getting cancer from a carcinogen and the healing of it to chemotherapy. By normal means the base of the gem can't be altered.
      Though OP might be on to something because technically steven has never had to 'heal' an era 2 gem and his healing powers could fix the shapeshifting thing like how steven healed connies eyes, something that no one realized could be fixed so no one thought to try. I think it'd be a nice call back to that episode if that were to happen.

      No, as I said in the video most gems would be given drops of pink in order to shape shift, the same way some blue gems get a drop of yellow in order to have weapons. The resource shortage is literally pink diamonds oil, Rebecca Sugar said so herself, so that means that shapeshifting either comes from pink diamond oils, or having a certain quantity of oil regardless of gem color.

    Uh correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we were basically told that shapeshifting was just a general innate gem ability that all of them can do. Plus, if they could fuse, then why couldn't they be able to shapeshift, aren't they related powers? We saw two green gems fusing, the Jades. We of course saw Lapis fuse. Plus, we don't know what Pearls are made from, could be from all Diamonds or from just White. Pearl can shapeshift.

      I address that in the video. Peridot wouldn't be part of her court either, but she indicated that era 1 peridots could shape shift. Pearl even describes alll gems as being able to shape shift. We know for a fact that the resource shortage is a reference to Pink Diamond so why would that effect a peridot (who would mostly be made of blue and yellow) who wasn't even form pink diamonds court, yet she doesn't have shape shifting powers?
      The answer would be, as i said, that even gems that aren't part of another gems court might get just a few drops from other diamonds to give them certain abilities like gem weapons or shape shifting.

    • @squinchini

      Deepcut yah but why would they need pink for that, pinks own power is Healing or having strong connections with others, the only reason homeworld gems and the diamonds don’t shapeshifter could possibly be because it’s disrespectful to their own form, as Crystal gems fuse on there own cause they want to. And after pink diamonds “shattering” what happened to newer gems? They were just left powerless of useful shape shifting? The show only stated that the era 2 peridots don’t have powers because of a resource shortage. That probably had nothing to do with pink Diamond.

So if Blue and Pink both had an aura, why can't Yellow and White? We might've even seen Yellow's in that same scene with Steven. It might be that it's always there internally, but it's weak and doesn't heavily affect others unless the Diamond wants it to.
