So many fun characters and designs debuted in Change Your Mind, I wanna draw them all AAAH

reo-trashcan:

I just noticed something, digging around for some screencaps. I’m not about to “redeem the Diamonds in 60 minutes flat,” but at least with Blue, there’s some definite character growth to talk about here.

Blue is fixated upon how Pink used to make them all feel. All the things Pink did, and trying to unpack why Pink did those things. The purpose of play.

All that stuff with Yellow and Blue Pearls during Together Alone, and fun being “something you want to do, because it feels good,” rather than adhering to what you’re supposed to do, what’s expected of you, your purpose. I feel very strongly that the echo of the word purpose in Blue’s plea to White was deliberate. She doesn’t want to hurt people. And she hasn’t been allowed to do anything but that for thousands of years.

And then, at the end of Change Your Mind, BLUE is the one making everyone laugh.

Up until the events of Change Your Mind, Blue made everyone hurt because she was hurting. But she stopped using it, and didn’t even use it against Yellow when they argued. She’s no longer weaponizing her ability to control emotions. She wants to do things because they make other people happy. Making other people happy makes Blue happy. And she’s starting to understand that even if it might not be her “purpose,” she’s very good at it.

Another tidbit from the podcast I found… very interesting:

MK: Pearl has her jacket and I’ve seen a lot of people talking like… is that a reference to Bad Pearl from Last One Out of Beach City?

RS: Yeah, that’s part of her independence. The jeans, too, she sort of subtly has those jeans. And this is something… I mean she’s been very different lately. She’s been playing the field. She’s been exploring who she is, and all of that I think really got kickstarted in that episode so it’s very important to her.

I’m sorry, what, you’re saying we’ve been missing out on Pearl’s Spectacular Lesbian Adventures all this time? I have never before in my entire life been so against the Steven POV only rule oh my god can I have an entire spinoff.

So I’m assuming that also explains how we got from this:

to this:

Pearl’s been busy.
