Its time for an extremely late take on one of my current favorite episodes of Steven Universe Future! The dramatic, dynamic and all around emotional Volleyball! I hope I covered the themes in this episode well enough. ^^;
Also this was meant to be released when only the first 4 episodes aired, but it got a little side tracked. Let me know if you enjoyed it and what you thought of Pink Pearl and Pearl's interactions here!

While I not a Pink Diamond fan and I am still on the fence about her morally gray character, I am convinced that she didn't hurt "volleyball" on purpose. The main source of evidence is shown in the Steven Universe episode "together alone" in the flashback dream sequence, which showed that Pink Diamond and Volleyball were close friends (possibly best friends). It's even implied in the Steven Universe Future episode "volleyball", that what Pink Diamond accidentally did to Volleyball might have led to her losing Volleyball and her keeping everything to herself by the time she had Pearl.

I still can't fully comprehend how much Steven Universe helped me grow. Pearl is an amazing character and I related to her from the third episode onwards. The way she acts is so simmilar to myself and from her reaction towards anything Rose related I could tell early on that we had someting else in common as well. Seeing someone riled up about something that they know should be a thing of the past is not often depicted, and seeing her grow, learning to be there for herself, slowly trying to move on, it helped me go that way myself. I thought it had peeked with Independant Together, but when this episode came out, it released a bunch of feeligs I can't even describe. Pearl is a character that shows us that we can be vulnerable and that we can allow ourselves to be, happy even if things in our past might haunt us for the rest of our lives, and that it is ok to feel what we are feeling. I'm never not going to cry during a major Pearl episode, and I'm completely fine with this fact.

This a great review/analysis. Volleyball is without a doubt my favourite episode of Steven Universe Future so far. I have a lot of love for Pearl and it was so great to that the two Pearls were finally able to get some closure regarding Pink. They still have a long way go but they are on the path the healing. I loved how the show addressed that Pearl even though Pearl has grown a lot since her Rose obsessed days she is still hurting and still not willing to deal with the pain Pink Diamond caused her. Yes Pearl's pain is not as obvious and immediately horrifying as Volley Ball getting injured from due to an angry outburst from Pink but it is still there. Pink wanted to be better but in her quest to be better she roped Pearl into starting a rebellion, unintentionally sold Pearl on a dream that after the war they would be together and after the faked assassination and everything that came with that Pearl was forced to carry the burden of knowing the truth but not being able to share it. I don't have the same hate on for Pink/Rose as some of the fandom does, to me she was well-intentioned but impulsive. You see a lot of this in Steven as well but the difference being that Steven grew up with authority figures that helped control the fall out from some of his more impulsive actions. Even in this episode you see him trying to hide the fact that Pink hurt Volleyball from Pearl and then lashing out in anger because he can't deal with hearing about more of Pink's actions. Yes, in the end it all worked out for the best but it could just as easily gone horribly wrong. I curious to see what happens next for Steven and I hope we get to see more of Volleyball down the line

Great video! I'm just a little disapointed you didn't mention Steven emotionnal state in that episode thought. Btw, I've been thinking lately and I'm starting to think "Volleyball" was actually suppose to be episode 3 and "Rose buds" was meant to be episode 4. The reason I think this is because of Steven saying "After everything that happens, I'm not sure if I still want her haggning over us" in Rose buds. At first, I thought Steven was talking about the events of the movie, but it's been months in the timeline of show, so why only give a reason now? But if he was talking about the events of the rifts, it would make a lot more sence and tell us in a way that they did talk about the events of the rift off screen... Basecly, I'm saying that switching these 2 episodes would make the story a lot more fluid... Only, if my theory is right, when CN would switch these episodes? because Volleyball was a better episode to end the hour special of course 🤷‍♀️

3:29 "attacking" might be a bit too extreme a word for it, Ya know the outburst Steven has in that same ep? I think it was something like that multiplied by pinks emotional abuse and mistreatment by the other diamonds. I think It wasn't intentional. it was just BAD for everyone. Her eye cracks further when she "makes excuses" not because she is lieing or that the reasons given for the damage aren't valid, but because she is repressing the hurt she feels. Like saying "it's okay, it was an accident" and "she didn't mean to" it's denying the very real hurt she feels, repressing rather then healing.

Despite what some fans may feel about pink diamond, you have to(if you wish to of course) understand that despite her flaws... she really did tried to be a better person in the end and I have a strong belief the pink pearl incident was the catalyst and turning point for her as seen in the flashbacks throughout the series (but in reverse) how she started out as an inpatient child princess who would have temper tantrums that cause great damage ( implied to have been done in secret as yellow or blue makes no comment on this whenever they were disciplining pink/steven), to a truly kind and (most of the time) benevolent leader of a band of freedom fighters and protector of earth. Does this mean we have to forgive her for everything... No of course not but that's doesn't mean we ignore every good she done ether. If there's one thing to remember is that pink was a complicated character and was written that way on purpose.

I think everyone is forgetting that we are seeing pink diamond's journey backwards. There is a video that explains her timeline in the correct order. She is not a perfect or even particularly great person. But she does grow. Her cautionary tale is not to idolise people. If you put someone on a pedastol they will always let you down. Pink diamond did grow as a person. She did learn from her mistakes. That doesn't erase those mistakes, especially not the hurt she caused, but she isn't an unfeeling monster. She is a person who comes from. An abusive household trying to get better. Unfortunately, victims of abuse often end up abusing those around them as well. Trying to fix those behaviours is a very difficult but important journey. Just a message for anyone who, like me, sees a lot of themselves in pink diamond and is kind of reeling from all the hatred she gets. It's funny that the two characters I identify with are also the most hated in the fandom. Maybe I just suck
@stardusttodust25

Yeah, I 100% agree. The whole point of her character is that she's complex. She's a lot of different things to a lot of different characters, and so every retelling of her story is from a different angle. She's not in any way perfect, she did a lot of bad things, but some fans paint her as a monster, when she really isn't. The show's from Steven's perspective, of course he has negative feelings towards her- she caused most of the conflict in his life. It's something he needs to work through, but it doesn't mean she's the absolute worst person ever to exist or anything. I saw that video as well, and it's very clear her character developed in reverse. It's also kinda hypocritical when people are willing to forgive the other diamonds for actual genocide, but not Pink for hurting people she loved by not thinking through her mostly well-intended actions. Yeah, anyway, you said it better, I'm just saying I agree with you. And you're not wrong for relating to Pink.
