some thoughts: Spoiler: spoilerssss -i'm thinking it was white diamond, possibly via pearl, like some ppl in this thread were saying? but ofc that raises Even More Questions -when zircon was making her case & then accused the diamonds to their faces i was just like welp, you're dead, sorry -i love pink lars!! and just like, everything about lars' development over the last few episodes -if lars has portal-making powers like lion that would just about solve this issue :U clearly he just needs 2 screm -there's a joke to be made about "pink-zombie" and "p-zombie," but damn i am just not coming up with anything
Spoiler: pls give my theory attention I wanna see what others think link to thing. obvi spoilers for all the recent episodes. idk I just wanna see if anyone has any ideas ;w; SHARE WITH ME YOUR THEORIES AND THOUGHTS
Spoiler i wanna know too! and how they got together! and something i realized is that every time a poly fusion like her gets a new member, if the member is not the same gem type as any of the others contained already, the poly fusion changes gem type. and losing and interchanging and adding new gems in a poly fusion. like the ship of theseus, as gems get shattered or decide to leave and decide to join but enough stay each time to keep a thread of history going throughout the ages. like, i don't think that's happened to fluorite but it does seem like something that could happen with one of them.
Spoiler: oh man that's honestly really cool to consider DAMN. also like, I so very badly want to know how Fluorite got together cause--three of those gems look like the same Gem type and part of me is like "what if they were together as a poly triad and then they met one of the others or the others were already together and they met the triangle Gem triad" and stuff and AAAAAAAAAAAAA I must know! also now I want to write....something about a poly fusion. idk what. just. something.
holy shit look at this theory i found on tumblr (spoilers for wanted, so don't click the link if you're not caught up)
....wait Spoiler is it possible for a gem to bubble themselves and then teleport back? Because if so that would sure solve some problems...
Spoiler: wanted speculation consider: the mural has rose quartz holding up a pink diamond which defends against white diamond's attack if rose got PD's gem and then used it in such a way that WD had to shatter it to defeat her defense, this would fulfill both the 'only a diamond can damage another diamond' mohs scale theory and therefore the 'A Diamond Did It' theory, while also allowing for 'it was a staged production between PD and rose quartz' eta: this also means that, in effect, rose quartz did shatter pink diamond in the eyes of, say, yellow diamond, who would be loathe to blame her sister for being backed into a corner
Spoiler but chronologically, when would that happen relative to the events described in the episode and why would the diamonds think rose used a sword to shatter her if that was the case?
Can I just say I love everyone in this bar. I mean. I've said it before, but - gods. Spoiler: off-colours (ALSO. ALSO there was a part of me SO HAPPY to see Rutile! It means my theory that gems can come out of the ground like that was right!! Also I'm adding to what everyone else has already said and I LOVE POLYGRANDMA FLUORITE SO MUCH I WANT TEN.) Spoiler: the trial OH though also the framing in the Trial?? I thought that was obvious that we were meant to think that poor Zircon was pointing at Yellow and Blue Pearl, not the Diamonds, for a bare instant? And yes, it seems almost stated at this point that our Pearl was WD's once upon a time. (Isn't White as a hue technically made of up of all the other colours?) I have nothing left after all that. Holy shards.
Spoiler yeah, i noticed that too but i dismissed it as my brain just reading the scene wrong. (yep. under one colour system, the one for light. under the one for paint mixing, black's it instead.)
Guys I just. Spoilers for Lars's Head I guess but. https://fan-o-fandoms.tumblr.com/post/161219702005/
Spoiler: slightly more coherent thoughts, in the sense that there are actual words used PADPARADSCHA DID NOTHING WRONG EVER IN HER LIFE I love her so much. What a goddamn cinnamon roll. All the Off Colors are cinnamon rolls, to be fair, but Padparadscha is SO FUCKING ADORABLE. Also I ADORE Defense Zircon. What a badass. Like, seriously, she is AWESOME and I hope she ends up safe.
Spoiler: response i mean she kind of accused a Diamond of killing another...so she probably isn't going to be ok also yes, padparadscha is great, even if I can't spell her name
Spoiler I was expecting Steven to have Lion make a portal back to Homeworld to grab Lars? Since he was able to get to the moon that way. Homeworld is a lot further, but warp pads still seem able to connect with it.
