I rewatched The Trial and noticed something that not many people seem to be talking about.

Remember when a large portion of the SU fandom actually thought that Yellow Diamond was a suspect to Pink’s shattering? I mean, the way she acted during the trial as Blue Zircon made accusations towards the diamonds was pretty peculiar. It was like she was hiding something. 

But that’s just it though. 

I think we just misread her behavior as a whole.

She’s looks either offended that anyone would even accuse her of shattering a member of her family 

OR

She actually believes it herself that she played some part in having Pink disappear from their lives. She said it herself in Reunited. 

“How miserable. I knew Pink couldn’t handle her own colony. But I gave in. And now, I’m to blame for her fate.” 

This really strengthens her character and doesn’t give her the whole cookie-cutter villain persona. Yellow has deep, hidden emotions that she expresses in difficult ways which gives her a cruel undertone. And I fucking love this show even more.
