Maybe it was a part of that whole "who I am" laser, I think they were using she during the trial. That is, he didn't just tell them he's Pink Diamond, he got across that he's Pink Diamond's son.

No. Unfortunately, common-law marriage is not recognized by Homeworld. Also, all other kinds of marriage.

It might be able to poof her but I doubt anything short of a breaking point could shatter them.

I think my favorite thing about the development of Blue and Yellow Diamond is that to me at least, it really shows them in a new light as people who were consumed by grief for a dead sister they don't feel like they didn't show enough appreciation for in life.

I really hope they don't go ahead and backpedal them to being villains again.

I think blue will be more chill about things, but yellow will kinda still be villainous, just in a different way where she either is antagonistic about being duped, or becasue she expects steven to take up pinks duties, which include harvesting the earth.

Also, in random future episode specualtion, I think think Peri and Lapis are gonna fuse soon-ish, I also think there will be an episode about getting Dewey to move on from being mayor, its getting enough screentime that something has to happen and "he's sad so should have his job back" would be a bad message, esp considering the whole male-entitlement-in-nerd-culture thats an issue everywhere right now

It wouldn't be backpedaling to show them as villains because they haven't stopped being villains (yet).

Well, if you want to be technical, I think it would be lame if they don't follow through with what the previews seem to be suggesting.

Mostly because I want episodes of the Diamonds interacting with Greg and the townies.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
It would be fun to have a moment with Blue Diamond and Greg catching up, totally ignoring Yellow who is desperately trying to join the conversation. Just "All this time we were mourning the same Gem... who would have thought!" "Hey, I was mourning her too you know, Blue!" "Yes, but this human listened to me instead of trying to steamroll over me."

It would be interesting if Greg ends up being the real key to bridging human/gem relations by showing Blue Diamond that humans are just like them instead of animals to be culled.

And the final title card has the show renamed to "Greg Universe".

I think she'll start with "Pink get your gem outside of that human child right now. You are a diamond you cannot look like that. I don't want to hear your excuses about memories any more, you're coming out now to face to what you have done!"

It's possible that the ending of the show is Steven willingly giving up the gem and managing to separate from it without dying, pink diamond reforming and going home with her sisters.

I'm gonna say no. That would totally eliminate any lessons the show has been teaching about appropriate ways to deal with grief and move on from death, along with removing any ability Steven has to keep helping Earth with the powers he's spent an entire show slowly developing.

There’s no way Rose/Pink will be back at the end of the show. If she is, I’d be really bad due to the show not living up to its themes.

I'm thinking at some point Blue and Yellow will let Steven be and just wait for the organic part to grow old and die, leaving behind the gem. The Diamonds already lived for 5750 years thinking Pink was dead, what's another 100 years give or take?

Yeah, what does happen after Steven dies? Does Rose just come back and be like “So, what did I miss? ...Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Steven's aging is messed up. It can be accelerated but also seems to have ground to a halt. It's more likely that Steven dies tearing the gem out of himself, and then Pink/Rose comes out and cries about it, restoring Steven to life with extradimensional pink hair.

Diamonds get what they want, exactly when they want it. If they want pink back I'm sure they'll try to get her back. Some enthusiasm and fondness for Pink might be lost learning that she was Rose Quartz and started her own rebellion.

I can't help but think that telling Blue and Yellow everything might not get the results they want. The gems were corrupted instead of destroyed? Maybe they'll try to finish the job.

Remember, Aquamarine is still out there and show remembers, there was a shot of Steven with one tear on his cheek like hers when he was singing about the wedding.

Incidentally, Steven's pink aura can be added to the list of weapons that can beat Aquamarine's wand.

Yeah, if he ever masters shapeshifting he can remain immortal. The only issue is that none of his human friends and family will, so he gets the choice of watching his whole world age and die one person after another or joining them in death.

Is it just me or is it a very “mom” thing to do where Blue Diamond specifically rounds up her time spent grieving to 6000 years even though it was established the time since Pink was shattered was more like 5750 years? Always exaggerate by rounding up to lay on the guilt trip thicker perhaps?

My guess is if the show were to do one of those distant future epilogues we would see that Steven and Connie have become Stevonnie permanently

Also I have the feeling Lars won't be the last human in the cast to end up Pink before the show ends

There's a fan comic with that but it's really bad just like every other drawing and/or theory revolving around a dead child on a kids show.

I don't know why people keep saying he's stopped aging after Steven's Birthday explicitly showed he was aging by having him grow a beard hair at the end (he even shaved said hair at the start of the most recent episode to remind folks!*) The boy is just a late bloomer.

*which I thought was hilarious because it totally reminded me of doing the same thing as an early teen
