Spoiler Holy shit this is gonna be a wild ride. Also, WHITE PEARL IS SO CREEPY I LOVE HER. Also apparently she shares a VA with White Diamond rather than the other Pearls? I wonder if that's significant--she looked and acted quite different from the other Pearls we've seen, too... (Also, note that her gem is on her stomach...:thinking:)
Spoiler white pearl is a hollow shell of a person who speaks with white diamonds voice and hovers through reality I DO NOT LIKE IT
Spoiler White diamond's way of talking over and "pleasantly" enforcing the Right Order and the Right Thinking is so creepy. it pings me as ...narcissistic? i can't pin it down but. Not Good.
Spoiler 1) I FUCKING CALLED IT. I always thought the ruins looked like legs, like the position for birthing which fit with the whole motherhood thing. And then the Diamonds were revealed to have hand ships too and I brushed it off as me just being super gay. BUT I WAS RIGHT AND PINK HAD A BUTT SHIP I AM VINDICATED 2) I want White Diamond to step on me.
Spoiler I kinda wanted to know more about what pink was like, but meeting white explains so much. Also, is the size difference between the gems significant? When dealing with Yellow in that dream, Pink seemed like a bratty little kid. Like maybe the HS Freshman who wants to go to college parties like her sisters. White treats her like a barely-verbal child.
Spoiler Looking back on my predictions: http://theothin.tumblr.com/post/175647153857/theothin-so-thinking-about-where-things-will-go Yellow Diamond started out acting similar to how I expected, but White ended up taking over the bulk of the "Pink is a child who's been acting out and needs to be put in her place" shit. I'm curious where Yellow will go from here. So far, she's been surprisingly cooperative out of fear of White, but that same fear means she's unlikely to stand up to whatever White wants her to do. "Pink and Blue vs Yellow and White" could still very well end up happening, just in a rather different way than I was expecting, lol. And could still satisfy the whole "Reunited focused on Blue vs Crystal Gems, Yellow's real turn is later" thing.
Spoiler: I don't know much about this character but OMG, Centi wasn't a Crystal Gem? The diamonds blew up their own troops and blame pink? There's also a line that I'm surprised got past the censors.
Spoiler Okay, so we finally met White Diamond. And she had almost no reaction to Steven/"Pink." No comments on their form. No comments on how long it had been since the rebellion. No relief, or sadness, or happiness, to see them again after thinking they had been shattered. Nothing. Just whisked them away without even letting Steven talk. That's very different from Yellow and Blue, who were very upset at what happened (blaming themselves, being angry/depressed respectively, still feeling hostile about the Crystal Gems, feeling better to see "Pink" again, questioning why Pink Diamond did what she did... Is this what Pearl meant about White Diamond being "different"?
Spoiler Steven's in a huge empty creepy little girls room. I'm guessing this is pinks old room from 6000 years ago?l
Spoiler So, it seems White has a torso/head ship. Giant Diamond mech? Giant Diamond mech. But also... That's not a Gem. Did we even see her actual, you know, gem? There's something extremely weird about White Diamond, and I think she might actually be a member of some precursor species.
Spoiler: so I have a lot of questions and concerns about WD and about her Pearl. like, why does her Pearl only have one working eye and look like her form itself has a crack in it? what gives? and is there some actual significance to that Pearl's Gem being on her stomach? also White is so... I don't know. she seems....very old, and very....detached. Pink's rebellion, faking her shattering? all a game. all just fun. the numerous Gems sacrificed for that? White doesn't even seem to care. did you get those childish desires out of your system with your fun? good, back to business. zero observation on the new form. no anger. no upset, as far as we can tell. she doesn't care. Pink is back, so clearly she's ready to go back to work! business as usual. it also makes me wonder... the welcome was set up by her. it had to have been. and no one has TOLD her that Steven is Pink, as far as we know--which implies White has known Steven is Pink for a while. and I wonder if maybe White is better at sensing auras than Yellow and Blue and has maybe known what's up since the trial?? ....what if she sent the two Diamonds there herself, to try and get exactly this to happen, them to realize Pink is alive? also, this is gonna be quite the arc, I feel like. White doesn't seem HAPPY with what Pink did but neither does she seem upset--it's like it was a toddler being mischievous to her. but I can't imagine she'll be thrilled if Steven tries to leave, and I can't imagine she'll be very invested in saving Earth or letting Steven and the CGs go back there or fixing the Gems on it--she doesn't seem to care about them. also, I am anxious about how she's going to respond to the CGs and their presence, and what she'll be saying or doing to Yellow and Blue. I wonder if we'll see Lars and the Off Colors in this arc? or if maybe they'll just head to Earth without even knowing what's happening... ALSO ALSO okay is White's ship...her head?? is THAT what we've been seeing? because if yes, then can the ships all join together to make one big ship? it seems like that would kind of make sense, considering what White's space looked like from the outside. oh, and it seems implied that...Steven is needed to heal mental/emotional trauma of the corrupted gems, Blue is needed to give them their cognitive functions, Yellow their forms--but WHITE is needed to make any of that permanent. how powerful is she?? I am afraid. ALSO THAT ROW OF AQUAMARINES.
Spoiler White pearl... it's like she's had her mind ripped out and replaced. She moves like a wind up ballerina doll, or one of those old fashioned cuckoo clocks where people come out
Spoiler: hm so the way White talks, this may be the BIGGEST troublesome thing Pink has ever done, but....it isn't the first. she calls it "your latest game", Pink "misbehaving" is not new to her. what if our Pearl was originally White's Pearl and White's current Pearl was originally Pink's, and something happened that made White take that Pearl and give Pink a BETTER Pearl, one that to her was more sensible and better trained, and then she just....forced the original Pink Pearl into submission and basically acting as an extension of White, crushing out of her whatever White had deemed a problem in association with Pink? or worse, what if Pink Pearl didn't even do anything and taking her was punishment for Pink? "act out and I take your toys." it just seems....very significant to me that our Pearl has the same Gem placement White is always depicted with, and then White's Pearl has the Gem placement of Pink. and she's so eerie too, like....she's perfectly behaved and functional, she follows her orders to a T--it's like there's NOTHING in her except what White asks of her. even Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl aren't like that.
Spoiler: quotes my own post to answer my question there's a post of a drawing of White with her Gem that Rebecca Sugar drew. White's Gem IS on her forehead. it is also the exact same cut as Pink.
Spoiler heheh This ep was cute funny and ominous i love it White D as part of the bg with only her face animated was spooky and cool. White diamond has toenails with 'nail polish' White diamond = truly ancient being I love blue and yellow they're absolute babes Garnet holding cat steven: if you could water this for me while I'm gone that would be a big help Love that line I love Yellow she's so goddamn snarky, blessed Legs moving clonk clonk clonk Pearl fondly saying no not really in reference to pinks grace in ship take offs is great If you notice when they uncorrupt nephrite and she mentions pink/rose blue n yellow turn away Homeworld cracked Like egg Spoiler: Nsfw BIG LEGS = BIG PUSSY
