honestly bismuth is such a wonderful character

i mean she’s so. shes so kind and insightful and powerful and just. all that stuff she said to steven about being better than what others expect u to be was so quintisentially a crystal gem idea, it was so exactly what he needed, it was so exactly what rose faught for. u can see why she’d be one of rose’s closest friends, but at the same time she goes way too far w her zealous pursuit of justice

“nobody is more crystal gem than me” and “rose changed my life,” like. imagine being in that position, where the person who you looked up to like that treated you like an enemy. like you had betrayed the cause you dedicated your life to fight for

imagine being bismuth and creating this weapon that you think is going to set gems free, and then rose quartz telling you that its not the way of a crystal gem.

bismuth obviously prides herself on fighting for freedom and being a crystal gem to an extreme degree, and then was shot down by the person who founded the crystal gems. steven said something like, it makes us no better than them, and like. imagine being bismuth and being compared to homeworld

like god u can see. EXACTLY where she went too far, but u can also see why and u can also see how what rose did could have just. destroyed her. she begged steven to shatter her

she obviously loved the crystal gems so much. she would have done anything for them, until she did too much
