inhales

i think they’re interesting antagonists, a ‘family’ of sorts. kind of like…mother/sisters to pink. we know that they’re all formed from white, or are of white (cough father and the homunculi cough) but they also are their own separate entities. did white create blue and yellow to just expand the colonies? to create more gems, out of some weird need to continually expand her progeny? gems don’t die unless they’re shattered, and i don’t think white would create heirs for a throne she never intended on leaving.

but pink is a whole other case–it’s never explicitly stated that was was off color, so i don’t think we have a reason to believe that she was a defect. we know that she was the youngest of the diamonds, and that she was treated as a child, kind of disregarding the otherwise necessary “gems are created fully formed and fully aware of what they’re doing” mentality. but gems don’t like, grow, right? that’s not a thing. 

so was pink diamond created as some kind of inside joke? was her existence just there as a reminder for the others of what not to be? sure she was adored, but she wasn’t respected. even if she was symbolically a child, she still was a person, trapped and confined, unable to grow and learn and express herself. and she had no other way to do that besides completely disappear.

i thought the diamonds were the personifications of whites percieved flaws of herself. Her sentimentality in blue, her arrogant stubborn nature in yellow and her childish nature in pink. Obviously she failed since she still displayed these traits but lied to herself about it trying to twist what was left as perfection.
