I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
Some people were talking earlier about Steven being poofed and what would happen. All I'm going to say is that I believe what happened to Vision in Infinity War is what would happen to Steven and leave it at that.

White was cracked and that's what is gonna get the Diamonds on Stevens side because he will show Pinks healing tears and fix her.

I wonder if Steven could stretch out his torso and rotate his gem into Pink Diamond position, or if the way it's attached/Steven's different shapeshifting prevents that. Seems like that would be another way to prove things to the other Diamonds.

I always assumed that white diamond was a fusion of blue yellow and pink (white light contains all the other colors, right?) and thus hasn't been seen for 5000 years.

Now I really want to see what a 'real' Rose Quartz gem 'body' looks like. Did PD just floof up the hair on a general type, or is her Rose Quartz imitation very different.

I think that's supposed to be her ship/palace/a statue in her honor. So far everything seems to be implying she's only twice the size of Yellow and Blue, and 4x the size of Pink.

I'm still holding out hope than when news of this magnitude hits Blue Diamond her only reaction will be to just snap and start laughing her rear end off, like she's in so much despair it's caused a buffer overflow error.

I'm very interested in seeing just what reaction Blue and Yellow Diamond have to finding out that not only was Rose Quartz actually Pink Diamond in disguise, but that by extension Steven is Pink Diamond. Pink is their beloved little sister and they almost destroyed Earth in grief at her apparent death, so you'd think they would be happy to hear she's alive, but she also was the cause of all of that in the first place so she bears a lot of the blame, but also she's still technically dead and Steven is a new being with none of her memories and thus doesn't really have the responsibility she held for loving things up.

It's a really complicated situation emotionally, and I can imagine that their first reaction to finding out might be to try and "poof" Steven in the misguided hope of forcing a regeneration.

Also let's not forget that their Renegade Pearl never stopped being loyal to her diamond. By their own laws, Pearl did nothing wrong.

Yes, Steven being just a gem projection would mean the whole idea of blending with humans had failed. He needs to be 'mortal' for the story to work.

With how the unexpected interacts with Garnet's future vision, rather that just moving to other branches of the river this revelation is probably going to dam the whole thing and piss in the reservoir. It's gonna take some untangling before Garnet can predict anything again.

The real reason Sapphire's leaving next episode is because she thinks she's useless, and to be fair if my one special ability was predicting the future and I got blindsided like this I'd probably think the same thing.

I feel like the next real confrontation with the Diamonds may well just be another trial. It was such a good reveal at the top of the season after Steven sacrificed himself that Homeworld apparently respects some kind of rule of law (although the trial itself was a bit of a cross between a kangaroo court and an interrogation). If Steven ends up trying to tell the Diamonds everything, then the only way to really do it might just be to fully prepare a case with all information and lay it out there. Maybe in some kind of neutral territory like the moonbase.

And that's not just because I really liked the Zircons and want to see them again, although that'd be great.

Probably a factor, though the SU podcast episode about Garnet also makes the point that, because of the way she interacts with the world, she has to place a lot of trust in others, so she takes betrayal really, really poorly.

I would think Steven would consciously choose to keep his Rose Quartz orientation to purposely identify more with his mom. The only reason to display his diamond nature would be to convince the other diamonds and homeworld gems of his true lineage, but that doesn’t feel like it would be true to Steven’s actual character. Rose is still his mom, Pink is just who his mom was in those grainy college photos from way back when. Also, it would be kind of a slap in the face to the other crystal gems.

I mean, it turns out that Rose wasn't real, so that makes keeping her gem kind of weird imo

Steven can do whatever he wants, Rose was real to him for his entire life up until now. She’s real to Greg, who has repeatedly stated that the past is the past.

One thing that's amusing is we all thought Pearl was someone who left her diamond to start doing her own thing - but she never left her Diamond's side. She was loyal to her liege to the end, her Diamond however, was not loyal to her sisters.

also in "I love Both of You" I'd assumed that the colouration of Pearl and Greg's lighting was representative of Steven getting to Diamonds to talk to each other in the future, but I didn't take it far enough. The pink lighting isn't Rose Quartz's pink - in the same way as Greg is coloured like Yellow Diamond and Pearl is coloured like Blue Diamond, while having similar arguments about how they feel about someone's death (and it turns out its the same Gem that both pairs are arguing about), Steven is coloured like Pink Diamond.
