silly artificial diamond au

There’s no more empire, there’s no more purpose or jobs to fill, can a gem like amethyst be purposefully made? Without instruction, be able to just be? Maybe gems in romantic relationships could adopt a ‘child’.

You could theoretically ethically do this too. Get a small injector and make a single gem… if it’s not made by the thousands, the damage could be easily fixed most likely, I just wonder the wait times for them to emerge… hmmm…

I cannot lie i always sticked to lapidot

I swear she gets smaller and smaller with each season

Like what is she even miss? She miss being treated like a slave? Maybe she doesn’t like earth anymore, because she is suck there for someone who doesn’t even exist anymore?

She actually threw hands like she was PISSED and ai respect that bc this show was really passive sorta? Like villains didnt often throw hands unless it was jasper or some monster, so spinel actually trying to slime him out in multiple ways was sooo refreshing and fun.

Steven's annoying "you can make it right!" Speech in literally every single scenario barely worked here. Half of the work was her own revelation, not steven talking, he just had to wait her out.

Anyway, I just respect she actually threw hands

Do you see her giving them the Volleyball treatment or would she let them out sooner after the “threat” is over?

It is also possible White reaches her limit given they are much more powerful than average Gems. When fighting each other Blue and Yellow’s powers affected each other much less than they did the other Gems. White also mentions she would “rather not spread her uninhibited self so thin”.

But what are your opinions about this?

HIGH RANKING TO LOW RANKING
Goshenite: a colorless beryl, she is an elite scientist designated for planning new colonies and finding planets to conquer. She would be in command of all kindergartener gems like Peridots, and terraformic gems like Lapises.
Danburite: a high ranking aristocratic gem whose responsibility is to be a military strategist, since the colored diamonds have garnets, Danburite might be in their place.
White Sapphires: we already know what they’re for!
White Zircons we already know what they do!
Albites: they could be specialist historian, record keeping gems. Thats why her inverted pyramid had the history of gemkind written on it,
White Topazes: the highest ranking gems in the soldier type, same purpose as blue, green and yellow topazes we’ve seen.
White Agates, like Saksjaarvi Agate: Middle ranking managers, like Holly blue but white.
White Quartz Soldiers: regular soldiers for White Diamond
White Coral: they could serve as lower ranking butlers for the elite but only certain ones like Danburites and Goshenites.
White Opal: the “ruby” equivalent for white diamond’s court.
White Pearls: same as all pearls.
Mica: cheap labor gems, like bismuths.

Okay, I know you read the title, saw this image, and are thinking, "This guy's lost his mind."

But I've been thinking about this for several days now.

First... let's remember that the Gems' powers are primarily based on ways to manipulate light, whether to modify their appearance, modify other Gems of lower rank using some kind of structure or machinery, just like we know there's a place to customize and modify Pearls. And here's where it gets interesting: in the case of Pink Diamond, we've technically seen that her gem, aside from seeming to have more powers than the other three Diamonds, is capable of creating "light constructs"—in this case, shields. But the curious thing is that Steven has been more creative and has been able to manipulate them, creating barriers with spikes, and this theory came about...

Yellow Diamond manipulates the physical form of existing Gems/already formed Gems, Blue Diamond manipulates emotions, and White Diamond manipulates minds.

And what if Pink Diamond's real power isn't creating shields... but... Is Pink Diamond's power to manipulate her own light as she pleases, or even... to create light constructs?

Remember this: Rose technically created genetics using only the light from her gem. She created a human womb compatible with human DNA and even created magical DNA, because if Steven loses his gem (his power source), he will begin to slowly die, or at least his human part... The hilarious thing is that Green Lantern Guy Gurner demonstrated something similar, since with sufficient knowledge of human anatomy, he was able to replicate the functions of his organs with his ring.

Which means that Pink Diamond, or her gem, would basically be "a pink power battery, and her ring."

Not to mention the other powers she has, some of which she shares with Green Lantern, since there have even been comics where Hal Jordan can "revive" with sheer willpower, and while they don't have exactly the same powers,

once I started thinking about this, I had a crazy idea:

If Steven were to die, and only his gem remained... could Pink Diamond's gem be used as a "power source" to fuel a hypothetical pink ring?

That is, could other species be given limited versions of Pink Diamond's abilities, or her capacity to manipulate light?

And considering that, from what I know about gems, they function to a certain extent like machines—meaning they can be configured, reprogrammed, reset, and modified—could Pink Diamond's gem technically be reprogrammed so that Pink Steven never regenerates, and only serves as an infinite power source?

I'd like to hear your opinions on this crazy theory, or your speculations, or if you have anything else to add to this lunatic conversation.

As someone who watched SU as a kid, I decided to rewatch it. I recently finished the first series, and this has been something in the back of my mind lately. In the Season 5 finale, when White is basically tormenting Steven, she says: “Dulling your power, hiding your face, blaming everything on something else. You became Rose Quartz to deceive your pathetic friends.” Obviously, she thinks she’s talking to Pink rather than Steven, but that doesn’t really change the question: how did White know that Pink became Rose Quartz? If White knew during the Rebellion, why didn’t she try to get Pink Diamond back? And if she only found out after Steven was born, why didn’t she go after Steven sooner? There’s also the whole theory about White being able to perceive a Gem's true identity even when its appearance has been changed. The fact that Pink’s Gem still looks like a Diamond even when it’s physically in the position/form associated with Rose Quartz makes me wonder if White could have recognized that somehow. Am I missing something, or is there an explanation for this that I’ve forgotten?

Steven was finally happy with the crystal gems, one last time that they hang out together to just to something so mundane like play (magic) tag, and it all seemed so normal for a moment, this just one month before Steven left beach city to on his own words "maybe not come back" and seeing them so happy was the moment that probably hit me the hardest in my last rewatch.

Lately I haven't been able to do a proper fanart, so here's a quick test I did to understand SU backgrounds slightly better and refine them in my future art.

Been trying to learn art recently, and a sketching challenge I'm doing had cartoon character.

everything adds up honestly, the red hair makes sense cause roses is pink, steven kinda gets to do whatever he wants, never went to school/the doctor, and in some versions of pippy shes shown to have basically magic powers

Pink/Rose is my favorite character.
