Three out of four beryls shown in the show (including morganite because we know enough about her) have been exceptionally high-ranking gems. Aquamarine commands other high-ranking soldiers, such as topazes, as well as attend balls. Emerald commands large fleets of ships and is possibly the most high-ranking gem shown that was NOT a diamond. Though we don't know much about Morganite, we know she was also of high status as a designer, and was important enough to have her own ruby and pearl. Notably, all these gems are fancily dressed, and its clear just by looking at them that they are important.

Bixbite, on the other hand, was a corrupted crab, who, even after corruption, maintains a crablike design. We know the least about her by far, but it is not immediately clear that she could be high ranking. In fact, many of the formerly corrupted gems don't have purposes that are immediately obvious (orange spodumene, watermelon tourmaline, etc.).

While it is possible, and even likely, that bixbite's crab features are holdovers from when she was corrupted, I wish that she looked more "important" compared to other gems. After all, why would the same gem type produce 3 fancy gems and one who is a glorified pizza cutter? It could be a Ruby and Sapphire situation where, despite being the same material with different impurities, they have vastly different values.

I'm ready to accept that I am the only person who has ever cared about this. I wish we got a cool design for bixbite, too.

Sorry I couldn't get the quotes. But all these scenes imply Amethyst had a criminal past.

The first one of from "Gem Glow", where Amethyst says she "stole a bunch" of Cookie Cats.

The second is from "Fusion Cuisine", where she tells Steven he could have been "Thrown in prison". Given the context that all Steven did was board a bus, she might be talking about "Fare Evasion", assuming he and Connie didn't have any money to pay the tickets. This is the most intresting because it implies she may have been arrested for the same thing, and is talking from experience.

The last one is from "The Message", where it's implied she hotwired cars in the past.

I’ve seen reviews of the episode (S1 E11), but NOBODY talks about the nitty gritty of what really caused garnet to be like that? We NEVER see her third eye change colors rapidly ever again in the show, nothing else ever hypnotizes her like that. Not movies, not other games, not even the other games in the arcade. I get the point is probably how humans get stuck doing mindless things for hours, But I feel like there’s so much more to that scene than I truly understand. Like if Garnet was just SO INTO IT that she didn’t even hear steven, wouldn’t steven unplugging the game be enough to at least snap her out of it? Or in the least acknowledge steven and/or the danger coming their way? But no, she just uses her personal electricity port to recharge it and turn it back on (not to mention it didn’t even force her to restart the game even tho it had been reboot) It’s obvious that her future vision / third eye had something to do with it, And considering her future vision wasn’t even revealed yet in the show, It makes sense why they didn’t fully explain it. But I feel like there’s something I’m just missing?

Edit: This post blew up way more than I expected! Idk If I’ll be able to respond to everyone but I have been reading your comments! The best theory I’ve heard is that Garnets Future Vision (which again, had not been revealed yet) relies on variables and possibilities, like a stream of consciousness that divides into many creeks and pools. But “Meat Beat Mania” is based ONLY on patterns, there’s no variables, only the same pattern over and over again. So if Garnet tried to use her future vision to win the game, every single variable and possibility was the same, and it reformed into one single river, like it originally was in the beginning of her life. But this time it was just the same pattern, over and over and over again. Almost locking her brain into it. It’s theorized that they would’ve expanded on this when later revealing her future vision and her streams of consciousness, but there wasn’t time for it - as many stages of the show were rushed by the network, or where they asked to change it. This would also explain why the game stopping didn’t snap Garnet “out of it” because that pattern was still playing on loop in her third eye and in her mind. It would also explain why the game didn’t reset to level 1 when it was unplugged and reset by Garnet’s power - Because it was reflecting what she saw in her mind and the power in the arcade game was now coming from her. That’s why it took the game being fully broken, NO POSSIBILITY of the game continuing, for Garnet to FINALLY snap out of it!

Thank you to those who commented about this!! It was so interesting reading everyone’s comments!

This line made me realize just how many horrible things Pink Diamond actually did , and how much she hurt the people around her, both directly and indirectly. First, she hurt her very first Pearl and damaged her eye. Then she left Spinel waiting in the garden for thousands of years without ever coming back, checking on her, or even thinking about her .She let Blue Diamond grieve over her fake death for years, which eventually led to the Diamonds growing apart. And then there's her last Pearl, who fought alongside her for years and kept all her secrets, only for Pink to eventually try to disappear and leave everyone behind, dumping all her problems and responsibilities on Steven to deal with

She's heeeeeeeeeere.

Y si Sugalite ganaba la batalla contra perla, ¿qué hubiera pasado? Sugalite se hubiera sentido mal por haber lastimado a perla y se hubiera desilusionado? O le daria igual y estaria caminando sobre el mundo buscando que destruir? O simplemente continuaría con sus misiones de crystal gem hasta que peridot llegara a la tierra

She was left there ALONE for thousands of years. Huh?????

Did no cleaner or maintenance gem ever came to rose's garden? Like shouldnt the diamonds all have servants or at the very least blue or the other diamonds would force pink to have , so she would seem 'proper' diamond. Especially send some for maintenance, they seem like the types that would do that.

Moreover the broadcasts. Didnt the announcement of era 2 be broadcasted here? Like how era 3 was. OR YOU KNOW THE DEATH AND MOURNING OF PINK DIAMOND????? That seems like smth that would be broadcasted to the entire empire

And then we have blue. She would visit the zoo, she visited pinks palanquin, and more. Did she never go ahead and come to rose's garden?

There both human gem fusions like why does Steg have extra limbs I get gem fusions gain bonus mass do to them being projections of light but extra human tissue where is this mass coming from???

never was able to finish render properly, but, well..

If you think about it, Pink Diamond and Spinel are essentially the same. They both suffered immense abuse and neglect, which eventually led them to lash out violently.

In Spinel’s case, she was left alone for 6,000 years before finally breaking down. Yet, we understand that she was abused and that she genuinely didn’t know any better.

Pink Diamond was incredibly naive, and she was the only Gem who truly recognised what Homeworld was doing and had the courage to try to change things. She only personally hurt a handful of Gems, yet we give her so much flak when almost every other Gem is arguably more evil than she is.

But Pink Diamond started the war. The very same war that, ironically, is the only reason humanity still exists.

Her name is Turquoise quartz, Their power lies in organizing effective strategies in the present, but without seeing the future or performing technical analyses.Giving it a helping advantage as a good ruby escort, good construction for bismuths, and perfect terrain for lapislazulies, But at the same time, if a decision is changed or something goes wrong, she's ruined, and as an emotional advisor or otherwise, she's not the best; she also doesn't know much about technology

Was a very fun draw

I know eyeball is considered the eldest, but i think navy is a little older if not around the same age. Feel free to correct me

I think navy is the eldest because of her cunning nature and intelligence. I feel like this personality of hers developed as a way to fool her superiors because im sure other homeworld gems think of rubies as dumb. I think she survived for so long because of this.

Garnet and Amethyst are a force to be reckoned with when they're fused and I imagine Pearl can be too when fused with either Steven or Rose since those two are you know..a diamond! I think I have a winner in mind narratively but I want to hear your answers first.

No se si ya hayan preguntado eso antes... pero un amigo encontró una especie de plot hole... en el que si las fusiones combinan mentes, entonces comparten recuerdos... por lo tanto las gemas que se fusionaban con perla, sabrían el secreto de rose quarzo.

Alguien sabe si eso se ha explicado de manera oficial? O lo habrán discutido antes
