Here’s an extended version of Stronger than You :D
I really think they should’ve kept the extra verses, they tell alot more about Ruby and Sapphire than the shortened version, but i guess some stuff had to be cut to fit the time slot.
I had to step back from a few minutes of anger today to think and this is what came to mind.
There are always going to be folks who want to discourage you. Confidence scares them. No matter what THEY think of your work, if a majority of people find you inspiring, creative and they enjoy your work, these haters do not matter to you.
“In 2009, the Haitian parliament unanimously passed a measure that would hike the Haitian minimum wage to $5 a day.
Yet much as the United States government mobilized to protect Big Oil’s profits a few years earlier, American diplomats immediately protested the hike in wages.”
Reblogging for anyone who doesn’t know about this yet. This should be front page news. This should warrant resignations of diplomatic corps and executive office officials. We should be in the streets to support Haitians.
just remember who was the boss of all these diplomats when Hillary Clinton runs for president on the “success” of her tenure as secretary of state
So everyone’s talking about Rose/Pearl’s relationship and such, but I’d like to point out another interesting thing about this episode.
When Pearl makes holo-rose, she’s recreating the scene. She repeats it, word for word. Every expression Rose made, every shift of a curl. And as we all know, Pearl is an extreme perfectionist. She wouldn’t change a detail of this scene.
So what am I getting at? Pearl’s posture.
Pearl is down on one knee. Heck, she’s GENUFLECTING. Everything about her posture and expression illustrates extreme respect, and this is before they are even allies in battle.
My next point is Rose’s Flag. It could very well be a revolution flag meant to represent the crystal gems, it’s true. But take a look at it. It’s 100% rose quartz. None of the other gems are represented on it in any way. Don’t you think it would be a little out of character for Rose, who’s all about loving everyone and everything, to make their flag all about her? It seems a little vain for this selfless gem we’ve been shown.
So here’s my theory; Rose Quartz was gem Royalty. Or at least held a very high rank. All of the gems respect her unconditionally (beyond that, they all seem positively enamored with her) she has whole armories, she has an insignia on a FLAG. It would make sense that Rose would be an incredibly important gem. As far as we know Rose was the only gem with healing abilities. Even Lapis Lazuli seemes shocked to hear that Steven had healing powers. Rose could have held the life of her entire species in her hands, which would make her pretty damn important. So if the gems do come back to earth, what will we learn about Rose, and who she was before she chose earth?
What if Rose Quartz isn’t actually Quartz?
Look at her gem. and well,
this is the pinkest piece of gemstone cut rose quartz i could find on a cursory search. See how its smokey and not really “pink” like Rose’s gem?
Well, I have a gem that matches it much better.
This is a rose diamond.
I wanna add a bit more to this theory. I think that Rose being a Diamond Gem is pretty plausible; not only because of the above text, but because of the fact that some people theorize there are FOUR Diamonds. We know of Yellow, Blue and White, but some have theorized the existence of a GREEN Diamond as well.
Green Diamonds exist in nature, and are some of the rarest gems out there:
Now before you think “why is this relevant?” lemme point out this screencap I took from “Jailbreak”
if you look at the overall color scheme on the ship. it’s predominantly green and yellow! Some might say that is because of Peridot, but I think not, because of the symbol on the floor. It has three triangles at first glance… In reality, those three are surrounded by a larger green triangle. And all of that is contained within a circle
This is assuming there are four Diamond Gems… but if there were once five, what would that symbol have looked like?
my theory? THIS:
and where have we seen something like that before? Oh yeah, on ALL of the Crystal Gems!
So maybe, Rose was cast out for choosing earth, and the Diamonds’ Symbol was changed. But the Gems that remained loyal to her kept the star as their symbol during and after the war!
