Are people actually saying it’s “whitewashing” that the blue character is….. blue……

Please tell me you’re kidding I beg you

image

I don’t think people should be complaining about this fandom at this point, we should be making fun of them. These people are fucking demented on a hilarious level.

I just got genital warts from the levels of stupidity.

Do these people not know what lighting is?

Whyyy

This is pretty much the only way to react to anything complained about by the steven universe fandom from now on

It’s almost like when you’re body is covered in a large cloak and veil, there would be heavy shadows on your skin. Not to mention that mural is over 5k years old and from what we have seen from garnet and pearl, gems hair as well as their overall colours can shift from one shade to another. Even drastically over the course of millennia.

or pearl who used to be blue with much redder hair at one point. Though it was during the pilot, we can see that bodies shape defined when she was regenerating indicating it was her form at one point.

image

So no, it isn’t whitewashing. What it means is that at some point after pink diamond was shattered and the rebellion was full on war, blue diamond was poofed and regenerated.

queering-gems:

So is anybody else confused by Blue Diamond’s gem placement

image

Specifically how it doesn’t match the placement of any of those on the statues located in the sky arena, except for the one we now know to be Yellow Diamond

image

Her entire design doesn’t match the mural

image


My theory is that blue diamond is the weakest or is a cursed title like defense against the dark arts and is replaced often. it would make sense for a blue diamond to seek the help of a seer if this were the case.

ohmymetta:

I would believe in rose quartz=pink diamond if someone could give me a reasonable explanation for 4 things:

  • why doesn’t steven know already? Shouldn’t the gems have told him that his mother was a ruler who turned away from her empire because she believed that everyone was equal? 
  • If the gems haven’t told him for a good reason, surely he would have noticed a GIANT MURAL OF HIS MOTHER in “It could have been great” and like…. commented on it?
  • The other diamonds are HUGE. And as far as we can tell kinda spindly. Rose is tall but not as tall as they are, and shes nice and round.
  • Seriously explain the gem inconsistancy. Now we’ve seen that the other 3 gems have diamonds shaped like ♢, why would rose’s be the only one shaped like a circle? I used to subsribe to the theory that rose had a gem shaped like  💎 and we just see it from above, but now even that would be inconsistant from the rest of the diamonds.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that rose CAN’T be pink diamond, but I would really like to hear other theories about possible explanation for these points. There’s a lot of good evidence FOR the rose diamond theory and I used to believe, so I haven’t written it off entirely yet.

1) They didn’t even tell steven they were aliens until lapis arrived. And they didn’t even explain anyhting about the diamonds. Peridot did.

2) We’ve really only seen ONE diamond. Blue diamond should not be counted yet as her appearance in the garnet origin story does not match her lunar mural like yellow diamonds does.

 Also, the only other place we’ve seen hints of there being four diamonds has the statue corrosponding with the pink one destroyed.

image

It is entirely possible that the Diamonds of homeworld attempted to destroy evidence of pink diamond for her treachery.

3) Gems can shape shift. They can also choose their basic form when regenerating. Rose could have regenerated smaller (which is not the same as shape shifting as it would be permenant until her next regeneration)

4) Same as point 2. We don’t actually know if blue diamonds cut is that shape. until we see another diamond that isn’t in a flashback, I think it’s still up for grabs.

addictedtoslugterra:

So these are all the Diamond Authorities we got to see today. Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond, and I’m assuming White Diamond (or they may just call her diamond idk). No Pink Diamond in sight yet.

These diamonds are so massive it’s making me second guess the whole Rose is Pink Diamond thing. She’s so much smaller than the diamonds.

Furthermore, from examining these pictures it looks as if White Diamond is the most powerful, since she appears to be in the most powerful stance.

I also noticed the other diamonds have their gems on their chests, but White Diamonds gem is on her forehead, possibly symbolizing she’s of higher ranking.

Of course this is all just speculation, not confirmed, but it’s really interesting. Today’s episode blew me away. So much new information to digest and new theories to make!!

WEll if you look at the floor,

image

You can see that there IS a pink diamond shape. 

And going back to sworn to the sword

image

The pillar and statue corresponding to the pink stone is smashed. It is possible that after the rebellion, all monuments to pink diamond were destroyed due to her betrayal. 

Also, look at blue diamonds mural

image

She has her face showing and isn’t shrouded in cloaks, she’s got no sleaves and her hair is long. the only thing similar to the answer is the placement of her gem

image

Meaning that what we see of the answer, including the size of the diamonds, could very well be how steven imagines it to be while garnet tells him.

I drew Blue Diamonds Pearl. Someone needs to save her.
