Just when you thought Blue might finally be understanding it...

I feel like that pink drop drawing was more showing how Pink's tears/fluids create life. At her table there's a pile of pebbles, so she probably spent a lot of her time experimenting/playing with the Pebbles she brought to life (since the Diamonds were always too busy to spend time with her). The fact that Steven's SWEAT brought the pebble to life has huge ramifications, and adds more meaning to the "Extraction" chambers. This could mean that all Diamonds create an "essence of life" liquid, which turns any rock/gem into a sentient being. Notice how all of Yellow Diamond's "juice" was collected when she left? I think this liquid is collected from the Diamonds and used to fuel THE INJECTORS in Kindergartens! While a small drop can bring an average Pebble to life, full Gems need a longer incubation time to form properly. That triangle on Pink's drawing could be her realizing that her "juice" is used in the Injectors. This ALSO explains why all Gems are extremely loyal to only one Diamond (and share her color scheme). They were LITERALLY made from her "life juice"! AND this adds extra depth for each Diamond's colonies. All of the Injectors for that planet's Kindergartens are fueled with her life essence so the Gems made there are innately loyal to her for making them!

Steven... STEEEEVON.... its such a funny sounding name

You can't tell me that the scene with Yellow Diamond wasn't funny.

Rebecca: New Song, Pebbles, and much more Everyone: *Pink Lasagna*

Is it strange that I want to see the flashback or the Diamonds together playing that game in blue Diamonds Pool/bath.

If the Crewniverse doesn’t make Pink Lasagna a running joke, I’ll be a bit disappointed

Pink diamond: hey I’m a diamond too Steven: hey I’m a crystal gem too Diamonds: * goes to do important diamond stuff * Crystal gems: * goes to do important crystal gem stuff * Pink diamond: * drives diamonds crazy * Steven: * annoys crystal gems * Familiar that’s why it’s so familiar Familiar like someone i used to be

I still hope they throw a diamond is unbreakable reference in there.

Great breakdown. I still think it’s a huge jump to say that the image of the pink drop is her creation. They were clearly showing her tears brought life to those pebbles and was even doing so as Steven saw the images. This would also give a huge impact on Pink because all those pebbles show how often she cried...

*_PINK LASAGNA_*

Already saw this episode like 10 time. Who else ?

YO I SAW MY DRAWING IN THE FEATURE OF THE SU AMINO

Blue Diamond said White Diamond got furious when Pink named the Pyrites "Fool Gold". I repeat : WHITE DIAMOND... FURIOUS !!!! I want/don't want to see that.

Sooo, aren't we gonna talk about the fact that apparently diamonds' sweat is collected and that it is likely the vital lymph of the other gems? And that sweat may be what's inside those viral shaped machinery in the kindergartens?

3:56 just realized pearl’s elbow wasn’t colored in haha

Yo here’s a thought: ya know those extraction chambers? And how White hasn’t left the ship? And she got those wires hangin off her? What if she’s just permanently being extracted from? To combat the lack of resources? OooooooOooooOoo

Personally i think when pearl said "steven your going to break her" she was beong slightly sarcastic and jokingly

The storyboarding in this episode was ideal; every character looked visually stunning and the size consistency was the best I’ve ever seen this season.

Blue Lasagna

Something I noticed. All the gems want Steven to be someone else (Rose or Pink). However, none of the human characters ever expect this from Steven. They always just expect him to be himself: Connie, Greg, Lars, Sadie, the Cool Kids, they all accept him for him (of course the Crystal Gems accept Steven, and now the expectation to have him be Rose Quartz is no longer there. However, there is still this expectation they have of him to be their leader). I hope the show addresses this one day~!!!

I honestly loved this episode and the song "Familiar" is just another to add to the ever-growing playlist. I also loved the addition that was made in both the episode and this video about "Fool's gold" That stream was incredibly dear to me and I re-watch it pretty often. So am glad it's not going to be forgotten. extra thoughts: honestly, pink's role on homeworld reminds me of the diamond's pearls role. or rather a court's jester, who's big role was to be an entertainer. Emphasis on the juggle. and by combining those two thoughts, Pink's clothes resemble a mix of a ballerina and a jester's. *now am curious to see Pink or Pink lasagna juggle.*

"White Diamond ain't nothing but a PINK LASAGNA!"

I don't think that "male" Pebble uses he/him pronouns. Sure, the Pebble is voiced by Zach Callison and looks masculine, but they're a gender neutral Gem. And Gems use she/her pronouns by default unless they decide otherwise. But for that, they'd have to be introduced to the earthly gender system, which doesn't exist on Homeworld and I don't think this Pebble would know much about it.

What about blue diamonds statue? It blinked and Steven took notice into it

I think all the diamonds all have some sort of life giving essence. Thats how Steven brings the pebels/veggies/lars to life. Yellow has living walls, blue has a living hair comb. I think bringing inanimate objects to life is a diamond ability.

I wanna spin off show about the diamonds

Its interesting that on the new insigna yellow and whites symbols are on the same level while blues is on the bottom

This is gonna be so complicated for Steven. He can’t risk hurting White because then all of the corrupted gems will in theory will not be cured. (By hurt I mean shatter white) Also I think the only way for the diamonds to understand that Steven isn’t exactly Pink is that he needs to fuse with Connie. After all, theres Nooooooooooooo way pink would have been able to do that or any other gem as far as I know. How the diamonds will react is up in the air. I really doubt talking to them is going to work, but at least Steven is trying.🤷‍♀️ Plus I wanna see Stevonnie again

You missed that yellow’s sweat and the water blue and pink(Steven) stayed in is being used to something maybe create gems because we saw that Steven sweat created a pebble so maybe they use anything the diamonds touch or their tears and sweats to create gems.

My problem with Steven wanting to stop the diamonds from repeatedly colonizing world's is HOW ARE THEY GONNA MAKE MORE GEMS , like Steven needs to find a way to FIND A POSITIVE WAY TO MAKE GEMS WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE

i have a theory if the pebbles can make make steven new suit maybe they made connie's new sword because they are like mini version of bismuth so maybe the pebbles made connie's new sword.

Have a nice extraction pink lasagna T-series ain’t nothing but a pink lasagna

*PINK L A S A G N A* Also, if the diamonds know that Steven is pink and pink is Rose, they should pop all those bubbles with the R.Q.s in them. Or Steven should explain about it to Yellow and Blue.

0:43 YOU TOOK MY QUIZ?!? OMG IM SO HAPPY I MADE THAT! :O I’m following you RIGHT NOW 💗💗💗

Honestly I loved the song familiar. It showed so much growth and understanding from Steven. My favorite lyric has to be when Steven has hope to fix the family that is the diamonds. How he has experience doing this, helping each of the crystal gems in his own way. It kind of sums up your idea that the crystal gems are like the diamonds, broken souls filled with grief and stress. And how Pink and Steven both helped them in their unique ways.

Anyone else notice what looks to be an early version of a Gem destabilizer when Steven clinbs up to look into the mirror

I think that the diamond's current emotions are figured around the phases of depression White: resolution Blue: depression Yellow: anger Pink: guilt?? Edit: steven does show guilt about his mother's actions

I think you should go more in depth about the song Familiar. There’s a lot more to it than it looks. Some may think it’s unnecessary, but it really is important. It explains Steven realizing that every moment he has had in the past was just like Pink’s life back then. This helps Steven get the idea of throwing the party. He understands a broken family’s pain, and he knows how to fix it. Without the song being included, I think I lot would have been left out of the episode. Also the song was amazing.

I may be wrong but blue kinda understands that steven isnt pink. Blue just sayss oh pink you are so creative with names. Yes she was talking about pink naming her new form steven.

Urgh, that was so unsatisfying, just when you think that she can get it through her head that Steven is not Pink, she called him Pink. Even after he clearly doesn't remember anything from his past (aside from the few dreams he had) but she continues to call him Pink! I really need a resolution from this and for the other Diamonds to call him Steven as well, but so far Blue seems to be the most understanding of this so she should know that he is not Pink. He may have her gemstone but not most of her memories. Memories is what makes a person a person, or in this case what makes a gem a gem. If none of us had memories or personalities we'd all be walking husks of meat! Come on people!

Guys, the gems in the architecture might be gems who are "off colors" or rebels

God I loved this episode so much

Notice how when blue was telling stories she said. Pink was sinking at the bottom Yellow and blue where at the shore And white was at the top

Yellow diamond is a sweaty overlord

PINKS PALACE IS ROSES SWORD 2:22

I have theory that this alive walls or statues sing Escapism ,and that other Diamonds can make objects alive like PD, and this why we have extraction chambers

Blue diamond is under rated in my opinion she deserves more recondition her powers ate way better than yellow

Is the cn 2019 video still happening

6:54 steven's sweat is PINK. This really supports the whole 'essence' theory.

It really seems like that drawing was of pink diamond creating pebbles, and that Diamond sweat is the key to gem life!!! Whereas Steven is organic and can create gemless pebbles, Watermelon Stevens, and Pumpkin, the diamonds can create gemstones through their sweat! This would explain why both Yellow and Blue take part in this "extraction." When Yellow had to leave, she didn't wipe her sweat and go, she SQUEEZED the rest of it out, as if to meet a quota. Not to mention, her sweat is clearly yellow, while in the same scene Steven has unusually pink sweat himself. I theorize this sweat is exactly what the drain was collecting, and what gem injectors are injecting. Whereas sweat on a stone creates pebbles, an injector that injects it into buried gemstones would create living gems! This could also fully explain why era 1 gems are so much stronger! Blue recollects that all four diamonds once performed extraction together, into the same drain, which blue now uses all alone. Like with corruption, truly completing the job takes a little from EVERY diamond. Without pink, or with only one diamond's essence being injected into a gem, powers might just be too much to expect. This could also explain why yellow is now forced to spend her time checking on her citrine production, as she's working with less than she did during era 1, and thus mistake become much more probable!

I thought Pearl was just messing around when she said steven might break yellow pearl

I love this video

I have a theory!! The more important a gem is, the shorter an amount of time feels. White said that Pink's little game is over. Moreover, in "What's the Use of Feeling Blue?", Yellow kept saying that the both did miss her but seemed less upset and eager for it to be over. Blue was the most upset, as she is the second least influential, therefore lesser powerful, diamond. She treats Pink's "shattering" as if Pink was forever gone, and was much more devastated than Yellow and certainly more than White. However, from the start of Pink's transformation into Rose, several thousands of years had passed. I don't think someone would call a milleniums-long disappearance a game if it felt like such of a long time to them.

Steven is an actual half-blood prince ooooooh my stars...

QUICK CORRECTION!! It's Susan "EE-gan" not "Egg-an".

If Steven throws a ball, we can see the return of aquamarine, topaz, emerald, the rubies, holly blue agate, the famethysts. I can’t wait Edit: we can even see hessonite!

YES! I’ve been waiting for your breakdown of this episode!! THANK YOU

Just want to say... I got a new phone for Christmas, from an iphone5 to a Samsung note9, and I never realized how freaking smooth your intro was. It's seriously so nice....

I'm here pink Lasagnas!

Pink Lasagna Lyrics by Steven the Rapper I don’t like you, White Diamond Nothing personal But I must go all out Just this once Pink or Rose Quartz, whichever will it be Sit the fudge down, auntie, I’m here to spill the real tea You tryna put me down because you are number one But you Homeworld, you lose, so best think you haven’t one When I’m through with you we’re gonna be completely fudging done Cause we only just begun I reviewed you (clap clap) zero, bye, witch, gone So come on White Diamond, looking hungry for some drama Here, let me serve you some pink lasagna Pink lasagna, pink lasagna White Diamond ain’t nothing but a pink lasagna Pink lasagna, pink lasagna Look at White Diamond, she just a horrible bad momma Pink lasagna, pink lasagna White Diamond looks corrupted in her pajamas Who the heck’s your Pearl and why you wanna kill em I’m a human-gem hybrid, but your just light projection You gotta got a lot hierarchy in your nation But I got equals in worlds, so hold your defamation “Hello Starlight!” What the fudge is that supposed to mean? You language sounds like it came from a mumble rap community No my Diamond, no my Diamond, yes my Diamond; POOR PEARLS Now down all this sugar and let’s throw this party with some pink lasagna Pink lasagna, pink lasagna White Diamond ain’t nothing but a pink lasagna Pink lasagna, pink lasagna Look at White Diamond, she just a horrible bad momma Pink lasagna, pink lasagna White Diamond looks corrupted in her pajamas You gotta tech count of 1.32 billion But most of your gems don’t know the number after a million YOU BRAIN WASHER!!!

I just want to address how Connie was able to be in Pearl's gem when she's entirely organic. It seemed so easy...is it because of fusion? But even Steven took a bit to become light projection for the warp pads and stuff... I NEED ANSWERS.

I'm not that shore if this is important but if you go back to the closeup of blue diamond's brushes you can see a bottle with what looks like pink diamond's "shard's".

Can’t wait

"Stop it, you might break her." What if that's what happened to White Pearl? Edit after watching vid: I'm glad you said that! *embarrassed face*

You missing: steven float like pink diamond flashback in jungle moon when he is in the extraccion room.

Steven was making connections like "I used overly energetic and was never allowed on missions, and that was the same case with pink." Steven and pink are obviously parallels, so I think the others are like that too. Pearl represents white, Amethyst represents blue, and Garnet represents yellow. White was formal and strict before pink came along, and then she was more open and fun. Pink left, and she went back to her old self. It's the same case for Pearl. Pearl kind of hated everyone and everything when pink first turned into Steven, because she thought pink was gone. Then she got to know Steven, and was happy again. Maybe white will be happy like that again too? Amethyst is like blue because they're both kind of moody, but blue is more moody than Amethyst of course. Amethyst had some serious issues with being from the kindergarten and how she didn't come out right. She's always pretty sassy too. We've seen blue throw a little bit of shade, and we all know how emotional she always is. Garnet represents yellow. Neither of them really show a lot of emotion, and they're kind of like the leader. Since white is like a shut-in NEET nowadays, yellow has kind of stepped up to fill her shoes. She's not recognized as a leader the same way white is, she's definately a better leader than white is now. Garnet is recognized as the leader of the crystal gems, but I've always thought that she was more of the face of the crystal gems. Pearl is more like the leader because she's inevitably the one who says, "Yeah, we're not doing that" because she's in charge of Steven. She was also the closest to pink, so she was like the second in command. Sorry for writing so much lol. Let me know what you think of this theory. Also NOTICE ME @THE ROUNDTABLE

The episode was incredible

honestly, i feel like steven will meet the same sad and dreadful fate of his mom. becoming a selfish, childish, brat who fails in the end due to being a semi-toxic try-hard. his mom lives inside of him for god's sake, the only reason this is prolonged is due to his dad's genes being apart of him. the whole episode is literally about how steven is going through rose's experiences, theyre familar to him because he IS rose. as much as he tries to deny it, its true. i think steven is more bothered by his mom then he lets on because he's afraid of becoming her, when in reality, deep down, he knows he is her, and will become her eventually, maybe not as bad due to having greg's genes but still pretty bad.

Thank you for acknowledging that there are no “filler episodes” even though so many people feel like every episode about the beach city residents are just boring fillers with no real meaning behind them. I like to think that there are no real “filler episodes” in any sort of show, mainly because you watch the growth of the character. We are all humane beings, growth takes time, and can sometimes be boring. Everything in life isn’t at high full speed action all the time, and there won’t be much time to grow and think in those situations. There are no filler episodes 👏🏻

that pic. pink drew isnt her emerging from a star, its pinks tears. the pebbles, the lil gems in that drawing, are watching her make more pebbles

YAAAAA 56 LIKES IN A MINUTE!

Finally gems that are masculin/voiced by a guy. Not that i didn’t like the others though ;)

2:31 That could be possible but I think while The Palace is Pink's headquarters, Yellow's equivalent to that would be The Extraction Chamber, White's would be her ship and Blue's would be whatever that pool area is called

2:39 Not a comet but a water droplet Poring in to the thing Steven sat on giving life to the pebbles. (Which explains why almost everything has mind of its own in the extraction chambers and how the pebbles came to be)

I have a theory and that is white diamond is also black diamond. Why I think that because white seems to favor pink than the others. Pink was an off colored red diamond and the reason why she likes pink more is because white herself is an off color black diamond and that’s why her pearl has grey in her color palette because white and black creates grey. I do believe white can still become black diamond but something has to happen for that transformation to happen. That’s why the diamonds can’t see her for too long because black diamond could possibly become black diamond at any time and I believe the pebbles know of this and that’s why there scared of anyone except pink because something happened in the past that made them trust her

But it WASN'T a drop of sweat it was a TEAR that brought the pebble to life

I didn’t notice that Pendleton ward helped story bored familiar. That makes me so happy that he worked on a Steven universe episode. I love adventure time and Steven universe. And when you said” gone but not forgotten.” I loved it. I miss it so much. But I’m excited for new episodes of Steven universe.

That last bit where vox was talking about how the crystal gems and the diamonds mirror each other personality wise literally blew my mind as soon as he said it

Am I the only one that thought that during Familiar, Steven’s voice got lower as he sang it? Now I am aware that this might have just been Zach not wanting to strain his voice and all, being in his 20’s doing that high-pitched voice, but it seemed a little low. And Zach has sometimes gotten lower, but never that low. It just seems weird.

You're still on that coming from a comet cause of the pebbles but dood, that's clearly, not it. We watched the episode, that image is clearly not that. The image shows a pile of rocks, with a couple peebles looking in, with a drop of pink liquid about to be dripped on them, STEVEN LITERALLY DRIPS A DROP OF PINK LIQUID, INTO A BOWL OF ROCKS, and births a pebble. The image is just a photo of Pink Diamond probably creating a bunch of the pebbles by dripping on them. We also had Comby Comby is voiced by Blue, and in Blue's "Blue Liquid extracting" room The Pebbles are voiced by Pink, and also Steven, Who literally, Just made one while singing, with them singing backup - we don't specifically see his singing, but backup is being sung when they're visible and none of their mouths are moving. It's now HEAVILY implied, that these liquids are Life creating, and that its probably related to the "Goo" that is in the injectors to manifest gemlife. - especially seeing as the Pebbles share similar abilities to Bismuth (which may or may not imply something about How Bismuth(s) are created) So Pink has healing powers, separate from the life-resurrecting/creating power. and all diamonds probably (or only the diamonds liquid extraction, is used) all have color/essence infused liquid that can bring things to life (or back to life)

When the door opened to the big mirror/powder room thing while steven sings "familiar" theres a moment where we focus on his face and he's starry eyed. Even before knowing that Pendleton Ward was a guest boarder, it really gave me the adventure time vibe!

This is probably what happened when Rebecca needed something to add to the script for the 9 year old army: **thinks of any jokes or references to add to the script** Rebecca: Oh, I got it! **writes down Pink Lasagna as a PewDiePie reference** Rebecca: I'm doing my part!

Hola

3:36 voice by zach callison? I knew it! THESE PEBBLES HAVE GENDER DIFFERENTIATION!

Could white be a fusion? If she’s like Garnet, it makes sense - not to mention how fusions are stronger than normal gems, and White is the biggest gem their is! (Unless that cluster counts as a gem)

I think yellow had to make an extraction chamber because blue left her duties. We all know blue just started back working

So pink diamond was like festivia the fun

Anyone else notice all the gem ships fit together? White head/torso, yellow right hand, blue left, pink legs. Probably symbolizing that they form a single complete being, each being a part of the whole that makes up someone probably through emotional levels.

STEVEN: Call me lasagna PEARL: Steven stop you are going to break her YELLOW PEARL: Have a nice extraction Pink Lasagna

I love the part where Steven ask Pearl if Pink was a jurglar, and she says "No, well, yes", is what we all tough when the Pink outfit was revealed

I SO hope that Steven can "shapeshift" moving his gem too like Rose did. Cause...that would be incredibly cool!

I kinda have a theory that pink diamond was made to make the diamonds happy The diamonds seem to have roles Yellow-military Blue-diplomatic White-leader/ruler maybe And pinks was just to make them happier

I think from this episode that at the beginning of era two in was no longer efficient to just shatter a gem when it was no longer effective, so now instead of shattering a gem they harvest the energy from that gem and leave it a statue as seen of the gems in the yellows chamber. Gems need energy so using this energy for another gem is much more efficient. The harvested gems are in a coma hiatus like state until energy is restored to them.

GUYS HERE ME OUT! What if PD is the court jester. Stay with me here, stay with me. Her outfit has always struck me as a teeny tiny bit more on the goofier side compared to the other diamonds, n she sure is known to make Blue n Yellow laugh with her little antics. N idk about u, but from the newest ep Familiar, the fact that she juggles n entertains everyone at big balls was what really got me. Yes? No? Just me? Idk.

Hey, I kind of feel that Steven might actually be Pink/Rose in the end. Perhaps allowing for a way to redeem pink in the end? Because while he is half human and half gem, he has been recovering some of his mother's memories such as on jungle moon. I think Steven singing familiar showed many things but it instantly gave me the idea that it is familiar, meaning Steven will gain even more memories. Eventually there will be like some weird awakening. Deadass this is some crackpot theory but I'm just gonna leave it here for the off chance it happens 🤡

NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT THE EXTRACTION CHAMBERS. I had a theory a few seasons back about the Diamonds and their respective courts. Each Diamond creates and controls gems that share their color, right? So far, all of Blue Diamond's gems are extremely powerful: from Sapphires to Lapis Lazulis, from Aquamarines to Holly Blue Agates, there are NO slouches in Blue's court. None. Yellow Diamond's court is entirely different, however. So far I've seen one *truly* yellow gem, and that Topaz fusion even had a greenish tint to them. Peridots are green, and we've seen an Emerald. There's talk of Citrines at this point, but as far as we've *seen*, all of Yellow's gems are green(ish). BACK TO THE EXTRACTION CHAMBERS: Yellow had to be steamed to extract whatever that liquid was that got collected in the drain. Then she had to focus to get rid of it. We even see Steven start to "sweat", but it's PINK, thereby illustrating that it's probably NOT sweat. Blue, on the other hand, was practically submerged in her own liquid. As Steven climbed the steps to her pool, there were tubes of running liquid draining away from it. When he jumped in, he was covered in it, and while it looked like it could be water, I think it's whatever these Diamonds are excreting. Judging by how quickly Yellow went to oversee her soldier crop, this substance is what enables them to create gems in their image, so to speak. We even see more of that when Steven cries in the bowl of pebbles, instantly creating a brand new Pebble. I THINK that Blue is a more powerful Diamond than Yellow. Personality-wise, Yellow might be of a stronger constitution than Blue, but I think after "hundreds of successful colonization campaigns", Yellow Diamond is just about tapped. At this point, she has to draw some of her power from Blue in order to continue producing gems, which is probably where the shift in resource availability on Homeworld comes from. It also illustrates just how impactful Pink Diamond truly was. The other Diamonds might have treated her like a child, but her nurturing disposition was a great source of power for them. The interesting part will be seeing how Steven copes with all of this. ...sorry for the essay. :D

Pendleton Ward is also the creator of Bravest Warriors.

Oh, and another thing to note. Yellow mentions that she runs HUNDREDS of colonies. This is wildly more than what was depicted in her mural on the moon.
