White Diamond is absolutely terrifying. This reveal did not disappoint. The threat of yellow and blue taking action on earth seems so tame now compared to the fear invoked by a few simple sentences from white. Can’t wait to see More of her
Omg did anyone notice how white pearl's heels weren't touching the ground? If white is controlling her, and pearl takes whatever stance white has, then this makes sense, SINCE WHITE IS WEARING HEELS!
Here's the thing, gems are basically light made solid. They don't need to breath, eat, blink, cry etc. but we see them do these things and we wonder why the fuck they bother. White is that idea made manifest. She is pure light. She is so utterly alien because she doesn't have any real organic tics like all the other gems do. Even her blinking feels unnatural. She's the perfect gem not just in type or cut, but because she is everything you would believe a completely inorganic, immortal, nigh invulnerable race to be. She's been alive for so long (eons apparently, which google tells me is maybe a billion years so heck) that to her 6000 years probably does seem short. Pink's rebellion probably sounds like a particularly rowdy spring break. If you ascribe to the theory that she was the first ever gem, it's like if you lived through all of world history you'd have a pretty skewed view of human wars.
Uni Cakez yeah exactly. Technically gems don't need to cry. They are perfect (don't @ me saying that perfection is subjective, it's just an adjective, chill) world conquering machines created to expand territory, gather, resources and uphold the Diamond Authority. Nothing else should matter beyond that.
I get we're all excited about white diamond but not one person has talked about what Garnet said earlier on the beach. Greg asks Garnet if he should be worried and she says "Steven will be fine." The PSYCHIC, BLUNT, FORMER LEADER OF THE CRYSTAL GEMS, ANSWERS GREGS QUESTIONS WITH A SIMPLE STEVEN WILL BE FINE. She could have said "We'll be fine" or anything else but she specifically says "STEVEN will be fine. And she says it with a blunt and somber attitude. I don't know about you but to me this is blatant and Obvious foreshadowing.
I have a theory: All of the Crystal Gems gets poofed (maybe one will be shattered like Bismuth) and then imprisoned/bubbled(?) except for Steven and he has to rescue them with the help of Yellow and Blue diamond
Something is very wrong with White mentally. Many speculate her being a sociopath but I can't because Blue and Yellow Diamond said she had a bad temper and I know a few sociopaths very well and they don't really feel deep anger. She was dismissive of Steven but not happy. There a saying called "serenity before the storm". It means somebody may be very calm right before they flip out. It almost looked like she was being nice to Steven because he had just arrived but when Blue and Yellow Diamond step in all hell will break loose.
yeah, she seems very messed up in her perception of what's happening around her, not to mention that her parenting is toxic on a truly space level. As omniscient and powerful as she appears, she is also stuck on a broken planet surrounded by puppets, and just wants to keep Pink in a box. I just love the contrast of her polished, luminous presence against the actual state of her homeworld and her pearl, and the retro-ish monochrome visuals.
I think it’s perhaps that she is void of some emotions. She definitely has some emotions but not the emotions that a human might have. Perhaps almost like an intelligent robot that tries to have feelings and emotions but Can’t guise the void ness of emotions.
Goldenluv series I kind of like that idea. When I first saw her I got the idea that she had emotions and either would suppress all but her anger or only knew how to express anger. My other idea is that she has emotions it's just that most of them are ebbed out and dull except for when she's mad.
I've heard an interesting theory about the diamonds which states that each the diamonds represent a form of grieving: Pink : Avoidance Blue : Sadness Yelllow : Anger White : Denial I think that White Diamonds conversation with Steven fits very well into this whole thing. The reason that she acts so distant and delusional is because she is in denial, still predending that nothing has changed and cutting off Steven as soon as he tries to tell her overwhise.
Leannan Well yes, Acceptance is left out, but I think that is because the Diamonds still have to learn to accept Pink's demise, even though I think Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamomd are getting there. Maybe Steven is supposed to represent Acceptance. That would be an interesting extension of this theory.
I can't even explain my feelings better than Roundtable already did. White Diamond is *THE* perfect foil for Steven, the emotion expert who has talked things out and reasoned with almost every threat he's ever faced. Lapis, Centepeedal (sorry, Nephrite), Peridot, The Cluster, Bismuth, *Blue and Yellow Diamond* . The only threats Steven hasn't been able to overcome with words yet are Jasper, Eyeball Ruby, and Aqua Marine, and they will most likely get off of Steven's case once they learn that he's essentially Pink Diamond. So, how do you create the perfect foil for someone with such emotional knowledge and experience? Well, with someone who has completely cast aside all emotion, has zero tolerance for any resistance, and will be virtually impossible to overcome with anything short of overwhelming, godlike, force. White Diamond is, *The Anti Steven*
That magnificent fanart of Yellow at the end reminded me: can we all just stop for a minute and give some appreciation to Yellow Diamond? Understandably, both Pink and White got a lot of attention lately, Blue got some screentime and beautiful animation (not to even mention that everyone love her emotional reaction over Steven) aaaaand Yellow... keeps being a meme. Like, c'mon, she is an icon! I love how different Yellow and Blue are; While Blue's emotions almost rules over her (duh), Yellow tries her damn best to be rational and hide what she feels. Which results in her tossing between being angry, cynical and petulant, but truly you can see that of course, she is annoyed and nervous - but also feels guilty, is deeply relieved and she freakin' loves Pink. I love how real her personality is. And I admire her Great Grumpiness, like damn, her face expressions, gruffy tone and sarcastic comments made this episode for me
Yessss 100% agree! She’s a badass diamond with an incredible design and personality, beautiful eyeliner, resting bitch face for days, and topped off with Patti LuPone’s voice acting/singing? Goddamn ethereal.
THE WEIGHT OF HOW DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING WHITE DIAMOND IS ACTUALLY MAKING ME PANICKED And the fact that her "temper tantrum" sent Homeworld split into THIRDS doesn't help either-
back in the Episode! Message Recieved! Steven just Told Peridot That the "Diamonds are Bad! they Don't Care About The Earth! First they want to Hollow it Out! And Now they Want to Blow it Up With The Cluster" and Now he's Risking his own Life trying to Reason with White! the Worst of Diamonds ! ! ! ! !
I Like to think of her as the Cartoon Western Hemisphere Equivalent to Ragyo Kiryuin from Kill A Kill; Due to her White color scheme; Her Abusiveness to her Pearl(Who I liken to Nui Harime), and Her being a Sociopath
White's positioned as the opposite and foil of Rose, who's associated with love, sympathy, and a genuine desire to make right what she's done wrong and to try to _learn_ empathy, if nothing else. So the opposite of all of that is.... It's interesting that we appear to have the traditional four temperment assemble with the Diamonds, too. Yellow's aggressive, Blue's melancholic, Pink's cheerful and energetic, so White's likely calm and internally unstable.
White Diamond is so terrifying because unlike every other villain in the series so far, Steven can get to their emotions and talk to them. But White diamond is quite literally emotionless and won’t let Steven say a single word. She’s the perfect contrast to everything that’s been established in the story so far.
She is like my mother when i was younger and we were out shopping or something like that she was always like *oh no sweety put that back* but with like that death stare 😂
what surprised me the most was her outfit. it's very detailed compared to the other three diamonds, she wears sandals, lipstick and eyeshadow and her toenails look like they're varnished! (it was reminding me of 30's style, if anyone has an opinion about that) i understand that, her face being so white and so glowy, it was necessary to make her eyes and lips more visible. but still. this was unexpected to me. maybe i've been watching too much fanart trying to foresee her look. the other diamonds almost look dull now, compared to White.
I think that was the thing the animators were going for, design-wise. She’s supposed to be the OG, all powerful, mother of all the gems. I mean she’s literally RADIANT and she’s lived long enough to think what Pink was doing was all just some little game. She’s supposed to look like the most beautiful out of all the diamonds. At least, that’s how I see it 😊
Joseph Fillon i see your point. still, those painted toenails bug me. the other diamonds wear shoes, except blue diamond whose feet are covered by the length of her dress. they don't have toenails visible. not even fingernails. actually, NOBODY ELSE IN THE SHOW, GEM OR HUMAN, HAZ ANY VISIBLE NAIL!!! lol ! so i'd say, in addition to what you said, that those details are there "also" for people to really figure the difference in size/scale between White and everyone else.... (yeah sorry, my view isn't very poetic ^^)
On my grave write Death by BTS OMG! What if Onion IS White Diamond!!! Anyone else notice that onion is not only the most mysteriously creepy character in the serious, he never speaks, is never really bothered/surprised by anything that happens, but is also always singled out somehow which is weird on it's own considering how little of an impact he really plays in the show as a general whole! Just saying....
Mother Gothel is White Diamond confirmed!!!😂 I rewatched Tangled after this episode and the two of them are so similar yet such opposites. Both are dominating and intimidating figures of power but Mother Gothel wants to shield Rapunzel from everything harmful while White Diamond thinks nothing of Pink like “ Yeah she ‘ran away’ but she’ll come back when she realizes there’s no internet outside of the house”.
I have a theory, hear me out! What if the nickname "Starlight" is foreshadowing their origins? What if the light inside of them is like a soul and they simply "soul project." What if White diamond's light came from an actual star and she began to give light "life" from her own light! Hence the nickname for Pink "Starlight" because their sentient souls are from the light of a star/stars?!
There is one being above white Diamond and that is God him/herself. And what if god created White Diamond and if he didn't why is someone so powerful allowed to exist. wait never mind she is smart enough to control her power when she wants to anyway
I have a headcanon. So starlight is a type of pink diamond and I think that white has nicknames for yellow and blue like canary and halo (types of yellow and blue diamonds)
P. E. R. I honestly cant take this comment seriously. Can you imagine this big bad boss calling his friend muffin? I know its supposed to make her sound menacing because she treats these literal gods as children in her eyes,but i can only imagine her making breakfast and calling their names to go down and eat Or just plain screaming at them. Maybe pet names wasnt the best term in that sentence
nate sigh- I respect your opinion and I can see what you mean. However, here is what I get out of Mango Man's comment. I definitely don't want White Diamond addressing both Blue and Yellow by nicknames all the time. And judging by the clip she doesn't do that, because she addresses Steven by both Starlight and Pink. And by her being able to have pet names for Blue and Yellow to me, is like a subtle show of her dominance. `Because by using your example, the Big Boss may not call his underlings nicknames, but if he wanted to he could. And if that boss is *The* *Boss* , his underlings can't/won't dispute it. Plus her giving them nicknames just further shows her condescending and Umbragesque nature. At least that's how I feel. And like I said in order for this to work there needs to be a good balance, which I think the crew could easily do.
P. E. R. Oh im sorry. I didnt actually mean for that comment to carry any weight. I just wanted to point out how funny it was. Guess i didnt explain myself all to well. Though everything you said is true. EDIT: I read over my comment and jesus i showed absolutely no signs of it being funny. Im honestly ashamed of myself
What's even scarier is thinking that maybe it is all a game even for Pink. Just her playing around being in a rebellious teenage phase of her Diamond life.
Yea like things are smaller to diamonds because they “live” for basically ever, but the way White diamond is talking is like a calm before the storm, like how parents talk when their child id done having a tantrum like, “are you done now.” Or how a teacher is about to speak to a student talking during class
I cant stop thinking about how someone is gonna get shattered. It's coming soon, I can tell. And I have a strong feeling it's gonna be Pearl. Earlier in this episode, Garnet said "steven....will be okay", so he'll survive. Connie isn't a gem (unless she gets curbstomped or something which would be pretty graphic so no). I don't think it'll be Garnet since she has two gems, and their on her hands which are also her weapons, so I imagine it being pretty difficult to shatter her conpletely. I feel like amethyst would be too easy...(sorry) and that leaves Pearl. I feel like she'll do something crazy to try and save steven and get herself killed in the process. Just my thoughts though.
FINALLY, SOMEONE ACTUALLY PAYS ATTENTION TO TO WHAT SHE SAYS😂😂😂 I've been watching so many videos of theorys and discussions and none have came to the same conclusion😂 THANK YOU
What if White Diamond is an actual Primordial God! She possibly created the other two diamonds too; all so that she could even live as a sovereign and marvel(sort of) at the entirety of her own creation! She took a complex physical of her own design and made a planet and her own species which has been tested-in HER eyes JUST FOR FUN-in obedience and unity even split apart into four factions!
No there is no religion or gods in steven universe the show is clearly implying that the Gems are some sort of AI robots which is why they have to be artificially made and which is why pearl said in a mini episode that gems are just holograms with mass.
I have a theory. White knew about Pink being Rose Quartz, she knew she was the cause of the rebellion, but she never took it seriously, as such a long living and powerful being, she never felt threatened by it. However, when things came to a head with Pink's supposed shattering, (that she also knew was a sham), and with Blue and Yellow obviously furious and vengeful, she took an opportunity to punish Pink, by corrupting the whole rebelion, forcing Pink who she knows has the ability to avoid the attack, to watch all the rebellion be reduced to mindless beasts. And eventually be killed along with her beloved Earth by the cluster. Of course, neither Yellow, Blue, nor the whole of gem kind knew who Rose secretly was, nor did Yellow and blue know they would cause corruption instead of destroying the gems. But White did. She planned to secretly torture and then kill Pink, squashing the rebellion in the process. Now, of course, it seems she can no longer do that with Pink being confirmed alive all along, but if Yellow and Blue discover this, I have no doubt it will mean widespread gem civil war...
Crimson Avenger Thanks. I think that if this ends up being true, it'll really highlight White Diamond's cruelty, and make her a true villain worth fearing.
White Diamond is terrifying and scares me for two reasons: 1 appearance alone, and 2, she if transparently abusive. White pearl is a topic of her own but her dialog with Steven comes off to me as an abusive parent not allowing their teenage or even adult daughter to say what's on their mind or bothering her because she doesn't think anything she has to say is valid. Like White believes Pink is only a temperamental child that needs to be disciplined. Even if Roses behaviors on earth were by no means all Benevolent, she had an open mind and really tried to help people and take the time and effort to understand where they were coming from. White clearly doesn't Care, she doesn't think Pink's thoughts or emotions are worth anything, just what she should be doing instead. It's horrifyingly abusive in my eye's. I have had conversations where I was never allowed to get more words in than Steven did, It hurts to be so completely undermined, like my thoughts and opinions don't matter nearly as much as the other persons. Quite frankly, after seeing this interaction, I don't blame Pink for running away to live on earth, I would want to do the same if that was her life before earth.
What's weird is that no one even bats an eye at the fact that PINK DIAMOND IS NOW STEVEN. Like, seriously! As soon pink's ship lands on homeworld, white Pearl comes towards the crystal gems and says she needs pink diamond. But without even thinking twice, she singles out Steven as pink diamond! What!? 😑
My theory is wd is the only thing holding homeworld together so she cant move. So her legs are actually her pearl so to speak she is controlling her pearl because she cant move which explains why her pearl is cracking and why her pearls va is the same as wd
That makes no sense at all white diamond is not that big the planet is atleast 100 times bigger then her and we can clearly see that she is not standing between the two parts of the planet to hold it together most importantly the planet is not holding together because of white but because of the gravity between the two halfs of the planet which hold them selves together. (I am sorry I just cant take anymore of these insainly stupid theories anymore).
I don't feel like we have seen white diamond I don't know Some thing about "white diamond" Seems fishy... She has no motion and she sounds like a recording of a person then an actual person She seems... Fake.
Stephen Carlson white diamonds gem is on her forehead, it is seen on the mural of her on the moon base, during the episode "it could've been great" it's just htat she glows so much it can't be distinguished
When I first watched this episode, WD saying "Did you get everything out of your system?" sounded like she meant having fun and the Solar system, not "Are you gonna behave now?", and that sounded much more terrifying.
I don't think White was talking to Pink either, like you said the pauses aren't nearly long enough, but I could see it as a possibility, if White is powerful enough to reach Pink's consciousness that could be laying dormant within the gem. I know some fans don't like the "Pink is still within the gem" theory but I like it
Jasmid Nurmi Speaking of which, what would happen if Steven's gem was removed? Would he live? Would he be alright thanks to his human genes but loses his powers? And would Rose/Pink be physically back? I know it's far fetched but I kinda want to see the last part happening.
Me too. I am fairly certain Pink would come back. And even if Steven wouldn't survive without the gem, Pink could always revive him like she did with Lion and Steven with Lars! That way they could both live and everyone would be happy having them both around!
exactly! Besides I don't think Pink was an unempathic sociopath like some people seem to think. I mean her healing tears are directly tied to her feeling sorrow for the suffering of others! She made HUGE mistakes, but I think she did it because she felt like she didn't have value as a Diamond and that Blue and Yellow didn't care about her. So she didn't think her "shattering" would affect them that much and once the Diamond's attack happened, she probably thought it was too late to go back and fix things. She probably didn't think the other Diamonds would forgive her and since nothing like the corruption had happened previously, she couldn't have known that the only cure to it would be a joint effort of all the Diamonds and even if she suspected that, she wouldn't have wanted to believe it. Like I said; what Pink did was irrefutably wrong, but by coming back Pink could start to fix things, and become more confident as herself instead of creating all these alter egos. Just think about how overjoyed Yellow and Blue would be to truly get Pink back as herself, plus Pink's court would be much readier to follow her than Steven, Jasper as a prime example.
The way you edit White Diamonds lip movements while saying her dialogue is soo much fun to hear and watch. And really gets me exited too see all the possible topics to talk about with White Diamond finally here after years of build up and teases.
I don't think with the talking to pinks gem theory that it's an expected conversation, more of her refusing to acknowledge Steven's existence and lecturing the gem who cannot even respond to her. Since she has absolutely no humanity from what we know, why would she give an organic life form the time of day aside from him basically being a vessel for pinks gem to her. Plus remember, yes Steven was the one in that telepathic world but poofed peridot and lapis weren't there either. So she could have been treating it as though pink was just that, poofed and bubbled by Steven's body.
Could Be True! and Blue did made it sound that it was so Bad that is Not Colonized! and a Bunch of Humans are Still Alive! and Considered Pink to be Punished when Is Really Not Really Punished at All! She Seemed to have Lived a Better Life Than She Ever Did With The Other Diamonds! she even told Steven's Dad that No She Doesn't Miss Her Home Planet! At All ! ! ! ! !
i mean that Blue made it sound like that it was Bad for Earth to Stay Natural and Un-Colonized just the way it is and Also Called it a Horrible Planet! just most of the HomeWorld Gems ! ! ! ! !
I actually wrote a rant about this myself. White Diamond rant When White was asking those questions of Steven, we get a few shocking revelations. When she said that pink “gave them a scare but it’s over now” White revealed that from day one she suspected or flat out KNEW Pink wasn’t dead, right from the start. But then White asked if pink “got it all out of her system”. Yeah you could tell she was angry with Pink, but there’s much more than that. This implies that White never took the rebellion seriously. That right from the start, White saw it as just Pink playing some little childish game or some kind of phase! White had believed that pink would “play hero”, get bored and come to her senses and then come back home to go back to being the version of a diamond everyone expected pink to be! White had always viewed Pinks actions with earth as just an immature child playing make believe or only doing it to know the experience and then come back just to have bragging rights that “I got to do that” And the fact that White wouldn’t even listen or bat an eye when Steven tried to talk shows that White never once cared about Pinks actions or rebellion. To White it was that situation with a parent and child that goes... “You’re a child, I’m the grown up, and I’m always right” White is so set in her beliefs that she won’t listen to anyone but herself. That also leads me to believe that White never cared about life on any planet that was not the gem home world. Or maybe not even Gem life. It’s to early in the new season to know for sure because we only recently were introduced to White Diamond outside of gems gossiping, or talking about the past. The point is, White KNEW Pink was alive, viewed the centuries of Pink rebelling as nothing more than a childish game, and has absolutely zero intention of ever helping or even listening to Steven.
Axolotl 04 I had some conformation that in the next episodes to come, White Diamond and her Pearl have an abusive relationship, doesn't really treat her well *as you can see* Poor Pearl has it rough than the other Pearls
Yesika Narvaez Pearl seems to speak just like her tho, just as emotionless and unatural. Now this is just my crackpot stupid theory, but there is a very good possibility that even White Pearl is above the other diamonds just by association.
Everyone is considering her to be the final boss, the ideas that she has mind control powers, but did anyone think of the idea that Steven is the final boss? Since we believe that she has mind control, wouldn't she control Steven himself?
The thing is, is that a gem with mind control would be assumed to only work on gems, not organic life. if she was able to control organic life, wouldn't they have every human on their side?
Dark Fire Pvp it's also possible she sees organic life as fodder and that's why she didn't bother this answers your question.But if she Connie as a way to get Steven to behave.
But still, why should the Crewniverse let Connie be controlled? She's organic she HAS to eat. She wouldn't be much use to WD dead, and I personally think her powers only apply to gems. It's been established that all of the gem stuff doesn't work on organics/humans. In my opinion, wouldn't a controlled Steven/Pink Diamond be more use to her in the long game? Edit: Also, why would they show a death on the show?
What I found really interesting is Garnet's assertion of ""Steven" will be fine." with the emphasis on Steven. That makes me think that, unlike many previous theories, White Diamond actually does indeed care for her daughters, Pink included. If we consider White Diamond to be...similar, in some way, to our Pearl, or, maybe, a warped reflection of her, she becomes even MORE terrifying. Imagine Pearl with infinite power, far more arrogance, greater disregard for others opinions, with all her little insecurities stripped away. Then top it all off with Pearl's possessive nature. White Diamond may indeed love her Pink Diamond, but that may, in the end, make this entire situation even worse. "I'm only doing this because I care, Pink!" * wiping the earths surface clean of life *
That's a pretty good theory. I always imagine White Diamond personality of Garnet calmness, wise, future vision and the thing you just wrote about Pearl.
i knew i would love white diamond and boy do i. im a sucker for powerhouse characters like jasper and yellow diamond but now it’s all about white for me.
White Diamond is a great personification of Lovecraftian horror. When I first saw that episode and appearance, those were the vibes I got. Major props to the show's creators for instilling such an emotion.
I know this vid old but I still find it amazing that the diamonds have different ways of coping pinks death like Blue Depression Yellow Anger White Denial
So, my theory is that White’s gem is litterally homeworld, and that homeworl ( aka white diamond ) is a carbon star. They are basically dead stars that leave a massive diamond behind with some other elements. Her birth probably ocurred millions of years ago, and she created other gems to make herself purer, extracting other gems so she would be nothing but carbon, a pure diamond. Then, homeworld got broken, and she got broken aswell, gaining her temper. She also despises cross-fusions, as it completely fucks with her perception of purity. Then she ran different colonies because she seed gemkind as the perfect race. Orgsnics are particularly hated because organic material is a union of carbon AND other elements.
I loved this video! And I hope you had fun in San Diego and you practically read my mind on the first impressions of White Diamond/Pearl. I adore how you’ve analysed WD’s words and actions. Also I was so freaked out by her calming and terrifying words, White is truly a beautifully dangerous gem. She essentially doesn’t see anything that’s happened as a huge deal, she is definitely a antagonist for the show purely for her disinterest in what Steven attempts to say. I am looking forward to seeing more of her now.
I just thought about how gems can have powers, and that Sapphires, gems in low aristocracy of Homeworld (correct me if I'm wrong), have future vision powers. Watching your video made me think that, yes, White knew all about that, She is White Diamond, She is linked to Homeworld and IS Homeworld. Wouldn't it make sense for Her to also have future vision but more powerful that Sapphires' ? She remained silent because She saw why it had to happen (for what reason ?). Pink gave everyone a scare, they are all thrilled to see her back. But She saw all of it, She always knew how it would play out.
While Blue and Yellow are considered Pink's older sisters Yellow being the eldest daughter and Blue the middle child, White is more like their mother (I think?). Which would make Steven Blue and Yellow's nephew and White's grandson.
TsunPeppermint I know that when gems are hurt they do retreat to their gemstone. So it must be some sort of damage to the construct of light, so yes. She also seems so robotic which is sickening. And don’t forget that this is a major issue, but no compared to THEE THIRTEEN PLANETS SHE POSSIBLY CARRIED OUT GENOCIDE!
TsunPeppermint my theory is that White is an obsessive perfectionist and broke pearl trying to make her perfect and that what happened to homeworld too. I think that's why she never left homeworld for such a long time because she was so focused on image and to make sure everything goes her way, and why she doesn't even move..
Xavier Triggs I think she's mine control too but it's been confirmed that they have an abusive relationship and it may be possible that only Steven could heal her
omg this just made me so scared for the crystal gems like wtf is white diamond gonna do to them not only that might the diamonds get punished to. She might be mad at them for not destroying the crystal gems on sight im shook...
I think white talking to pink is still very plausable. But other than u assumed i don't think pink was answering or something like that. I think she was just talking to the gem and completly ignoring Steven and since Pink can't answer in her current state she completly glossed over it.
I've been waiting for this video!!!! I love the fact that White is as eerie as she is, because for the first time, we have someone to truly fear. She isn't as emotional as Blue or Yellow, yet appears to be the most unstable (think Hannibal Lecter) this is perfect.
This might sound crazy but I believe white diamond is going to get shattered by a fusion of blue and yellow, with the help of Steven, Garnet,Pearl and,Amethyst. combined as one. There's going to be another civil war. And maybe white diamonds Pearl is going to set her up to her death.
White seems physically blind to me. She rather sees, not their physical form, but their gem, their aura. Because, to me, I feel like white would 100% comment on the different look of her. Maybe since she seems to have more mental powers she has seen the future, as a sapphire would but on a larger scale. I dunno, but I want to see more of her. I need it.
To answer your question on how ancient White might be: Blue said that White "hasn't left Homeworld in eons". I googled how long an eon is, just read for yourself. "Four hours ago is not an eon. Eon goes back to the Greek aiōn, "age." An age is not easy to measure, and neither is an eon. Both are just really long periods of time, but in science an eon is about a billion years." In scientific terms, an eon is a BILLION years. That's 1.000.000.000 years. And Blue said she was on Homeworld for EONS not ONE eon. And who's to say White didn't already exist before she decided to stay on Homeworld forever? Saying she "hasn't left" Homeworld in eons implies that she HAS left Homeworld at some point before that. Maybe White is so goddamn ancient, she was created by the Big Bang. So if "eons" can be taken literally, then yeah, 6000 years is NOTHING to White. To her, it probably felt like just a day or two since she's lived so mindbogglingly long. Which, if you think about it, is terrifying.
Rens I like this, but she definitely left 5000 years ago in order to help yellow and blue with the corruption song. There's a clip of their 3 arms reaching out and blasting earth while rose grabs Pearl and garnet and hides behind her shield.
The reason why white was glowing so bright was because she was controling her ship same way stevens legs started glowing when he controlled the leg ship
WD is terrifyingly beautiful, and she knew what PD had been up to since the beginning. She's literally unbothered by what happened over the past 6000 years and I'm sure she is the worst kind of mad there is: Calm/Silent anger😨 Edit: Loving the Yellow Diamond art at the end😄
I'd like to see a theory on how Steven is actually going to get White to help cure corruption, or at least, how they'll get off homeworld and/or defeat her..
After watching this episode I was just glued to whites pearl. I believe that our pearl and whites pearl were originally switched and white is abusive towards her new pearl
savy gamer why would they be switched? I mean, the gem placement and our pearls knowledge of white is curious, but what would cause them to switch? Furthermore, I don't think there's enough to tell us what white even does or what exactly she needs her pearl for.
JamieSeason well if pearls have a similar personality to their diamonds along with gem placement Pink's Pearl would have been childish just like her and white could have switched their pearls hers being smarter and more mature (our pearl) and if she has mind powers like a lot of people suspect should could be mine controlling her Pearl now
I have a small speculation / theory that Pink is actually fully aware of EVERYTHING that is going on and has happen while still being part of Steven. There are some things in the show that hint at this to be the case. So White talking directly to Pink while Steven thinks she is talking to him, makes sense and take this to another level.
I think the reason white’s Head is glowing is because well... Remember how Stevens legs were glowing while driving pinks ship.( her ship is a pair of legs) white’s ship is a head. Therefore her head is glowing. What do you think?
I viewed the "latest little game" thing as like, a parent trying to understand her child's weird interests. Thinking the pink diamond shattering is just pinks weird way of having fun. It shows the detachment some parents can have. I think she was scared by the war, but she's trying to be friendly and kind in this scene. But she just... Totally doesn't understand why pink would actually rebel other than for a little fun. And that to me, is terrifying. She also clearly doesn't view pink as anything other than toddler, and so she brushes pink off so she can get back to work without worrying about them again.
Van Oskuro well she sort of still is seeing through the eyes of the gem. Its just that the original projection(pink) was not answering back. I mean its possible to think she was talking to the gem,ignoring steven(because filthy organics amirite?) And expecting answers from the gem itself, so she either a ) answered her own questions in the way she wanted them to be answered,ignoring all possible answers steven or the gem could give Or b) was actually talking to pink,and ignoring whatever she had to say in favor of what white wanted. Either way shes a turd But it doesnt inherently disprove your theory that white can see through the eyes of another gem Edit: steven isnt the projection of light that pink is,he is organic so if she truly saw through the eyes of pink,she wouldnt see through steven(the show has done so much to show that they are different beings) as much as either darkness or herself. Which would lead to her answering her own questions.
Who would find a fight between White Diamond and any god or powerful being, in single combat, from any mythos (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Cthulu, Japanese, Chinese, Warhammer, etc.) to be awesome or at least entertaining.
what if when rose/pd used her shield in the corruption blast it convinced white that it was really pink instead of rose. Like she didn't know that pink wasnt really shattered until the shield reflected or protected herself from the blast. White was the only one to see this because blue and yellow thought everyone was shattered. (this is also why she wasnt at the trial because she knew that pink wasn't really shattered) And now that the secret is finally out and has yellow and blue convinced white knew that pink would be in her possession again on homeworld explaining her cool toned infered knowledge of pink really being alive this whole time.
In that episode greg questions garnet if there gonna be fine, and garnet said “Steven... will be fine.” But what about the others? What about Connie? Pearl? Amethyst? GARNET!?
White Diamond is absolutely terrifying. This reveal did not disappoint. The threat of yellow and blue taking action on earth seems so tame now compared to the fear invoked by a few simple sentences from white. Can’t wait to see More of her
CJ Johnson white diamond was different than I thought she would be but I’m not disappointed
She’s a sociopath
Agreed 100%
CJ Johnson how can you have 5 replies when you have 917 like' s
Me too
Omg did anyone notice how white pearl's heels weren't touching the ground? If white is controlling her, and pearl takes whatever stance white has, then this makes sense, SINCE WHITE IS WEARING HEELS!
why does this only have four likes this is kind of frickin genius and you just proved the mind control thing for real omg
Athena Z Haha thank you!
wAit-
This needs more likes tbh
Isabella Whittemore oh jeez ye
Here's the thing, gems are basically light made solid. They don't need to breath, eat, blink, cry etc. but we see them do these things and we wonder why the fuck they bother. White is that idea made manifest. She is pure light. She is so utterly alien because she doesn't have any real organic tics like all the other gems do. Even her blinking feels unnatural.
She's the perfect gem not just in type or cut, but because she is everything you would believe a completely inorganic, immortal, nigh invulnerable race to be. She's been alive for so long (eons apparently, which google tells me is maybe a billion years so heck) that to her 6000 years probably does seem short. Pink's rebellion probably sounds like a particularly rowdy spring break.
If you ascribe to the theory that she was the first ever gem, it's like if you lived through all of world history you'd have a pretty skewed view of human wars.
Zone Doll not really "perfect" but she's just close to "perfection". Because y'know nothing is "perfect" :D
Zone Doll I think they can cry tho
They said she's a star
they literally cry have you not seen Blue
Uni Cakez yeah exactly. Technically gems don't need to cry. They are perfect (don't @ me saying that perfection is subjective, it's just an adjective, chill) world conquering machines created to expand territory, gather, resources and uphold the Diamond Authority. Nothing else should matter beyond that.
I get we're all excited about white diamond but not one person has talked about what Garnet said earlier on the beach. Greg asks Garnet if he should be worried and she says "Steven will be fine." The PSYCHIC, BLUNT, FORMER LEADER OF THE CRYSTAL GEMS, ANSWERS GREGS QUESTIONS WITH A SIMPLE STEVEN WILL BE FINE. She could have said "We'll be fine" or anything else but she specifically says "STEVEN will be fine. And she says it with a blunt and somber attitude. I don't know about you but to me this is blatant and Obvious foreshadowing.
I have a theory: All of the Crystal Gems gets poofed (maybe one will be shattered like Bismuth) and then imprisoned/bubbled(?) except for Steven and he has to rescue them with the help of Yellow and Blue diamond
That cat's name is also Steven.
Christian Woolsey oh my gosh! Crewniverse wouldn't! right? RIGHT?!?!?!
Sean Jones and then asks Greg to look after the kitten that looks like saphire, and asks him to water it. Did she say feed it?
Several people had already talked about it but k
Remember when Steven Universe was about a kid who believed ice cream activated his powers?
J Jubilee it brings tears to my eyes
J Jubilee lol how about that
no
it's just like Hermes from Futurama asking. remember when we used to be a delivery company?
J Jubilee Remember when steven sings "We are the crystal gem". In the episode pilot?
Something is very wrong with White mentally. Many speculate her being a sociopath but I can't because Blue and Yellow Diamond said she had a bad temper and I know a few sociopaths very well and they don't really feel deep anger. She was dismissive of Steven but not happy. There a saying called "serenity before the storm". It means somebody may be very calm right before they flip out. It almost looked like she was being nice to Steven because he had just arrived but when Blue and Yellow Diamond step in all hell will break loose.
Maybe Pink is her favorite, so she wouldn't hurt her, but would take out her anger on Yellow and Blue.
yeah, she seems very messed up in her perception of what's happening around her, not to mention that her parenting is toxic on a truly space level. As omniscient and powerful as she appears, she is also stuck on a broken planet surrounded by puppets, and just wants to keep Pink in a box. I just love the contrast of her polished, luminous presence against the actual state of her homeworld and her pearl, and the retro-ish monochrome visuals.
I can't tell is she realizes what Steven is yet.
I think it’s perhaps that she is void of some emotions. She definitely has some emotions but not the emotions that a human might have. Perhaps almost like an intelligent robot that tries to have feelings and emotions but Can’t guise the void ness of emotions.
Goldenluv series I kind of like that idea. When I first saw her I got the idea that she had emotions and either would suppress all but her anger or only knew how to express anger. My other idea is that she has emotions it's just that most of them are ebbed out and dull except for when she's mad.
I've heard an interesting theory about the diamonds which states that each the diamonds represent a form of grieving:
Pink : Avoidance
Blue : Sadness
Yelllow : Anger
White : Denial
I think that White Diamonds conversation with Steven fits very well into this whole thing. The reason that she acts so distant and delusional is because she is in denial, still predending that nothing has changed and cutting off Steven as soon as he tries to tell her overwhise.
just tired
But aren’t there 5 stages of grieving?
Leannan Well yes, Acceptance is left out, but I think that is because the Diamonds still have to learn to accept Pink's demise, even though I think Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamomd are getting there.
Maybe Steven is supposed to represent Acceptance. That would be an interesting extension of this theory.
Narrative ealaíontóir That sounds like an interesting twist.
So Love is the main theme of the show, and with it Grief as the main antagonists? Genius.
Steven is acceptance.
I can't even explain my feelings better than Roundtable already did. White Diamond is *THE* perfect foil for Steven, the emotion expert who has talked things out and reasoned with almost every threat he's ever faced. Lapis, Centepeedal (sorry, Nephrite), Peridot, The Cluster, Bismuth, *Blue and Yellow Diamond* .
The only threats Steven hasn't been able to overcome with words yet are Jasper, Eyeball Ruby, and Aqua Marine, and they will most likely get off of Steven's case once they learn that he's essentially Pink Diamond. So, how do you create the perfect foil for someone with such emotional knowledge and experience? Well, with someone who has completely cast aside all emotion, has zero tolerance for any resistance, and will be virtually impossible to overcome with anything short of overwhelming, godlike, force. White Diamond is, *The Anti Steven*
The Green Dragon 53 so steven is christ lmao
"The Anti-Steven", I fucking love this comment.
That magnificent fanart of Yellow at the end reminded me: can we all just stop for a minute and give some appreciation to Yellow Diamond? Understandably, both Pink and White got a lot of attention lately, Blue got some screentime and beautiful animation (not to even mention that everyone love her emotional reaction over Steven) aaaaand Yellow... keeps being a meme.
Like, c'mon, she is an icon! I love how different Yellow and Blue are; While Blue's emotions almost rules over her (duh), Yellow tries her damn best to be rational and hide what she feels. Which results in her tossing between being angry, cynical and petulant, but truly you can see that of course, she is annoyed and nervous - but also feels guilty, is deeply relieved and she freakin' loves Pink. I love how real her personality is. And I admire her Great Grumpiness, like damn, her face expressions, gruffy tone and sarcastic comments made this episode for me
Gabriela C Finally, someone who likes yellow diamond.
Sleepycat Yea, my favorite diamond
Yessss 100% agree! She’s a badass diamond with an incredible design and personality, beautiful eyeliner, resting bitch face for days, and topped off with Patti LuPone’s voice acting/singing? Goddamn ethereal.
She's pretty awesome, you're right.
yellow diamond is my fave, beneath that villianous exterior she really cares for blue and pink
THE WEIGHT OF HOW DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING WHITE DIAMOND IS ACTUALLY MAKING ME PANICKED
And the fact that her "temper tantrum" sent Homeworld split into THIRDS doesn't help either-
Omfg *_HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT NOTICE THAT?!?!?!?!_*
back in the Episode! Message Recieved! Steven just Told Peridot That the "Diamonds are Bad! they Don't Care About The Earth! First they want to Hollow it Out! And Now they Want to Blow it Up With The Cluster" and Now he's Risking his own Life trying to Reason with White! the Worst of Diamonds ! ! ! ! !
You’re at a safe enough distance. She is formidable, certainly.
i like to think white diamond is a sadistic sociopath i love her
I Like to think of her as the Cartoon Western Hemisphere Equivalent to Ragyo Kiryuin from Kill A Kill; Due to her White color scheme; Her Abusiveness to her Pearl(Who I liken to Nui Harime), and Her being a Sociopath
I would hate to meet her to be honest but she is stunning not going to lie about that.
oh no doubt she a sociopath. You can't hear any emotion in that voice
White's positioned as the opposite and foil of Rose, who's associated with love, sympathy, and a genuine desire to make right what she's done wrong and to try to _learn_ empathy, if nothing else. So the opposite of all of that is....
It's interesting that we appear to have the traditional four temperment assemble with the Diamonds, too. Yellow's aggressive, Blue's melancholic, Pink's cheerful and energetic, so White's likely calm and internally unstable.
yasssssssss
White Diamond is so terrifying because unlike every other villain in the series so far, Steven can get to their emotions and talk to them. But White diamond is quite literally emotionless and won’t let Steven say a single word. She’s the perfect contrast to everything that’s been established in the story so far.
Her lack of facial features besides her eyes and such creeps me out.
Hannah Johnson she has them but you just can't see them due to the light she gives off. Honestly that's a little more creepy to me.
You can’t even see her gem! Where is it!😳
Hannah Johnson It's on her forehead. Rebecca Sugar gave out Artwork showing her with her mostly unseen facial features including her gem.
Well I feel like her lack of emotions come from the fact that she's some kind of registrated message and not white herself
Créateur de Monde Well that's possible.
She is like my mother when i was younger and we were out shopping or something like that she was always like *oh no sweety put that back* but with like that death stare 😂
Marie creative
XD
I did that to my siblings. I usually look calm but my eyes and voice will tell you otherwise.
Neko Sun same its so much fun since i have a little sister 😂
The T-Pose is White Diamond’s way of asserting her dominance.
Torkai Animations AssRstInG DommINaNCE OvER HoMEwoRLD
what surprised me the most was her outfit. it's very detailed compared to the other three diamonds, she wears sandals, lipstick and eyeshadow and her toenails look like they're varnished! (it was reminding me of 30's style, if anyone has an opinion about that)
i understand that, her face being so white and so glowy, it was necessary to make her eyes and lips more visible. but still. this was unexpected to me. maybe i've been watching too much fanart trying to foresee her look. the other diamonds almost look dull now, compared to White.
Ysckemia her toes alone give me life
lol good for you^^
I think that was the thing the animators were going for, design-wise. She’s supposed to be the OG, all powerful, mother of all the gems. I mean she’s literally RADIANT and she’s lived long enough to think what Pink was doing was all just some little game. She’s supposed to look like the most beautiful out of all the diamonds. At least, that’s how I see it 😊
Joseph Fillon i see your point. still, those painted toenails bug me. the other diamonds wear shoes, except blue diamond whose feet are covered by the length of her dress. they don't have toenails visible. not even fingernails. actually, NOBODY ELSE IN THE SHOW, GEM OR HUMAN, HAZ ANY VISIBLE NAIL!!! lol !
so i'd say, in addition to what you said, that those details are there "also" for people to really figure the difference in size/scale between White and everyone else.... (yeah sorry, my view isn't very poetic ^^)
The Crystal Gem Star symbol may have been inspired by White's petname for Pink, Starlight.
Isabel Brokaw omgg yassss
Isabel Brokaw Whites hair is shaped like a star 😅
Lol what if onion was her spy
On my grave write Death by BTS
OMG! What if Onion IS White Diamond!!! Anyone else notice that onion is not only the most mysteriously creepy character in the serious, he never speaks, is never really bothered/surprised by anything that happens, but is also always singled out somehow which is weird on it's own considering how little of an impact he really plays in the show as a general whole!
Just saying....
Ashley Jenkins and his gang are the other diamonds 0.0
White pearl is ruined XD lol
Lol, funny, but I don't support it
OMG, I thought the same thing once
Seeing White Diamond makes me understand Lapis’ fear SO MUCH MORE
Mother Gothel is White Diamond confirmed!!!😂
I rewatched Tangled after this episode and the two of them are so similar yet such opposites. Both are dominating and intimidating figures of power but Mother Gothel wants to shield Rapunzel from everything harmful while White Diamond thinks nothing of Pink like “ Yeah she ‘ran away’ but she’ll come back when she realizes there’s no internet outside of the house”.
Jason B.
XD
Yellow mama at the end is great
Wait I posted this 15 minutes ago
HOW DID I GET A HEART
Magic.
How did I ever reach 149 likes?
I mean I get it we all loved that and someone had to say it, but wow
Camilish pilish 221 now! :D
So true, It's magical.
I have a theory, hear me out! What if the nickname "Starlight" is foreshadowing their origins? What if the light inside of them is like a soul and they simply "soul project." What if White diamond's light came from an actual star and she began to give light "life" from her own light! Hence the nickname for Pink "Starlight" because their sentient souls are from the light of a star/stars?!
*_IF THIS IS TRUE, I WILL SCREAM!!!!!!_*
That might explain the star shape the crystal gems use on their clothes. Pink/rose could've used it as a reference to her nickname by white.
There is one being above white Diamond and that is God him/herself. And what if god created White Diamond and if he didn't why is someone so powerful allowed to exist. wait never mind she is smart enough to control her power when she wants to anyway
I have a headcanon. So starlight is a type of pink diamond and I think that white has nicknames for yellow and blue like canary and halo (types of yellow and blue diamonds)
Mango Man- That would be cool. It would just shows how truly in charge and opposing she is by having pet names for everyone.
Mango Man 😱
P. E. R. I honestly cant take this comment seriously. Can you imagine this big bad boss calling his friend muffin? I know its supposed to make her sound menacing because she treats these literal gods as children in her eyes,but i can only imagine her making breakfast and calling their names to go down and eat
Or just plain screaming at them. Maybe pet names wasnt the best term in that sentence
nate sigh- I respect your opinion and I can see what you mean. However, here is what I get out of Mango Man's comment. I definitely don't want White Diamond addressing both Blue and Yellow by nicknames all the time. And judging by the clip she doesn't do that, because she addresses Steven by both Starlight and Pink. And by her being able to have pet names for Blue and Yellow to me, is like a subtle show of her dominance. `Because by using your example, the Big Boss may not call his underlings nicknames, but if he wanted to he could. And if that boss is *The* *Boss* , his underlings can't/won't dispute it. Plus her giving them nicknames just further shows her condescending and Umbragesque nature. At least that's how I feel. And like I said in order for this to work there needs to be a good balance, which I think the crew could easily do.
P. E. R. Oh im sorry. I didnt actually mean for that comment to carry any weight. I just wanted to point out how funny it was. Guess i didnt explain myself all to well. Though everything you said is true.
EDIT: I read over my comment and jesus i showed absolutely no signs of it being funny. Im honestly ashamed of myself
What's even scarier is thinking that maybe it is all a game even for Pink. Just her playing around being in a rebellious teenage phase of her Diamond life.
Yea like things are smaller to diamonds because they “live” for basically ever, but the way White diamond is talking is like a calm before the storm, like how parents talk when their child id done having a tantrum like, “are you done now.” Or how a teacher is about to speak to a student talking during class
God that's even worse because that means the whole thing with Greg was just a joke...
I cant stop thinking about how someone is gonna get shattered. It's coming soon, I can tell. And I have a strong feeling it's gonna be Pearl. Earlier in this episode, Garnet said "steven....will be okay", so he'll survive. Connie isn't a gem (unless she gets curbstomped or something which would be pretty graphic so no). I don't think it'll be Garnet since she has two gems, and their on her hands which are also her weapons, so I imagine it being pretty difficult to shatter her conpletely. I feel like amethyst would be too easy...(sorry) and that leaves Pearl. I feel like she'll do something crazy to try and save steven and get herself killed in the process. Just my thoughts though.
thats interesting i kinda agree with ya on that
AND pearl probably has some personal grudge with white, and as this show leads with emotions, that might get her in major trouble
i thought about this too aaaaaaaaaa i dont want pearl to be shattereddd
Totally agree with you.... Had the same thoughts when I saw the episode over and over
I'm not sure if they are gonna do that... Pearl is Rebbeca's favourite character, getting rid of her would be heartbreaking.
Too me it seems that White Diamond hates rebellion hence why she would not let Steven talk and why her pearl is so emotionless
ahutip
I've been WAITING for YOUR video Slice ;)
Slice, so you're not gonna address those gorgeous, glowing, black nail polished toes and feet? K fam.
BlaxxShadow White’s feet, toes, and heels give me life
Foreal, like..
Omagawsh yess, i luv the way they sparkle
FINALLY, SOMEONE ACTUALLY PAYS ATTENTION TO TO WHAT SHE SAYS😂😂😂 I've been watching so many videos of theorys and discussions and none have came to the same conclusion😂 THANK YOU
That One Drawing Person It seemed obvious, im pretty surprised they didnt, right?
Evening Dim exactly 😂 that's why I freaking out that one one else of many videos that I've watched even noticed it😅😂
What if White Diamond is an actual Primordial God!
She possibly created the other two diamonds too; all so that she could even live as a sovereign and marvel(sort of) at the entirety of her own creation!
She took a complex physical of her own design and made a planet and her own species which has been tested-in HER eyes JUST FOR FUN-in obedience and unity even split apart into four factions!
White Diamond to me is terrifying, but she also makes me want to shatter her, because of what she did to that pearl.
No there is no religion or gods in steven universe the show is clearly implying that the Gems are some sort of AI robots which is why they have to be artificially made and which is why pearl said in a mini episode that gems are just holograms with mass.
Eddie Morano I think the same thing but less
Steven Universe should be renamed to White Diamond's Lab
I feel like everyone should assume that she was the first of her species, she created the other diamonds most likely.
I have a theory.
White knew about Pink being Rose Quartz, she knew she was the cause of the rebellion, but she never took it seriously, as such a long living and powerful being, she never felt threatened by it.
However, when things came to a head with Pink's supposed shattering, (that she also knew was a sham), and with Blue and Yellow obviously furious and vengeful, she took an opportunity to punish Pink, by corrupting the whole rebelion, forcing Pink who she knows has the ability to avoid the attack, to watch all the rebellion be reduced to mindless beasts. And eventually be killed along with her beloved Earth by the cluster. Of course, neither Yellow, Blue, nor the whole of gem kind knew who Rose secretly was, nor did Yellow and blue know they would cause corruption instead of destroying the gems. But White did. She planned to secretly torture and then kill Pink, squashing the rebellion in the process.
Now, of course, it seems she can no longer do that with Pink being confirmed alive all along, but if Yellow and Blue discover this, I have no doubt it will mean widespread gem civil war...
George Marionerd
I really hope your right because this is the best theory I heard of. I hope this is true.
Neko Sun Finally! Someone noticed and appreciates my theory! It took ages to type... Thank you.
This should be canon
Crimson Avenger Thanks. I think that if this ends up being true, it'll really highlight White Diamond's cruelty, and make her a true villain worth fearing.
White Diamond is terrifying and scares me for two reasons: 1 appearance alone, and 2, she if transparently abusive. White pearl is a topic of her own but her dialog with Steven comes off to me as an abusive parent not allowing their teenage or even adult daughter to say what's on their mind or bothering her because she doesn't think anything she has to say is valid. Like White believes Pink is only a temperamental child that needs to be disciplined. Even if Roses behaviors on earth were by no means all Benevolent, she had an open mind and really tried to help people and take the time and effort to understand where they were coming from. White clearly doesn't Care, she doesn't think Pink's thoughts or emotions are worth anything, just what she should be doing instead. It's horrifyingly abusive in my eye's. I have had conversations where I was never allowed to get more words in than Steven did, It hurts to be so completely undermined, like my thoughts and opinions don't matter nearly as much as the other persons. Quite frankly, after seeing this interaction, I don't blame Pink for running away to live on earth, I would want to do the same if that was her life before earth.
I love your impressions of WD your voice is really cute you should consider being a voice actor lol
You sound more like a MALE WHITE DIAMOND!!!!! Only if the echo and a more suave voice would really kill it!!!!
What's weird is that no one even bats an eye at the fact that PINK DIAMOND IS NOW STEVEN. Like, seriously! As soon pink's ship lands on homeworld, white Pearl comes towards the crystal gems and says she needs pink diamond. But without even thinking twice, she singles out Steven as pink diamond! What!? 😑
My theory is wd is the only thing holding homeworld together so she cant move. So her legs are actually her pearl so to speak she is controlling her pearl because she cant move which explains why her pearl is cracking and why her pearls va is the same as wd
Also explains why she hasnt left in Homeworld
Alla Zulu
Exactly
That makes no sense at all white diamond is not that big the planet is atleast 100 times bigger then her and we can clearly see that she is not standing between the two parts of the planet to hold it together most importantly the planet is not holding together because of white but because of the gravity between the two halfs of the planet which hold them selves together. (I am sorry I just cant take anymore of these insainly stupid theories anymore).
So like, can Slice do dubs for White Diamond for every episode she appears in? That would be EVERYTHING!
I don't feel like we have seen white diamond
I don't know
Some thing about "white diamond"
Seems fishy...
She has no motion and she sounds like a recording of a person then an actual person
She seems...
Fake.
Plot twist: White Pearl is the one with the mind control powers, controlling White Diamond. Or maybe the Sneople are controlling her, ya never know
She might be like GLaDOS, where everything she said was a seemingly pre-recorded message before it became necessary to start actually talking
She Is t-posing after all
Where is her gem?
Stephen Carlson white diamonds gem is on her forehead, it is seen on the mural of her on the moon base, during the episode "it could've been great"
it's just htat she glows so much it can't be distinguished
When I first watched this episode, WD saying "Did you get everything out of your system?" sounded like she meant having fun and the Solar system, not "Are you gonna behave now?", and that sounded much more terrifying.
I don't think White was talking to Pink either, like you said the pauses aren't nearly long enough, but I could see it as a possibility, if White is powerful enough to reach Pink's consciousness that could be laying dormant within the gem. I know some fans don't like the "Pink is still within the gem" theory but I like it
Jasmid Nurmi Speaking of which, what would happen if Steven's gem was removed? Would he live? Would he be alright thanks to his human genes but loses his powers? And would Rose/Pink be physically back? I know it's far fetched but I kinda want to see the last part happening.
Me too. I am fairly certain Pink would come back. And even if Steven wouldn't survive without the gem, Pink could always revive him like she did with Lion and Steven with Lars! That way they could both live and everyone would be happy having them both around!
Jasmid Nurmi Not to mention, Pink can face the mess she's made and not Steven who wasn't even born when the war, Corruption and the like happened.
exactly! Besides I don't think Pink was an unempathic sociopath like some people seem to think. I mean her healing tears are directly tied to her feeling sorrow for the suffering of others! She made HUGE mistakes, but I think she did it because she felt like she didn't have value as a Diamond and that Blue and Yellow didn't care about her. So she didn't think her "shattering" would affect them that much and once the Diamond's attack happened, she probably thought it was too late to go back and fix things. She probably didn't think the other Diamonds would forgive her and since nothing like the corruption had happened previously, she couldn't have known that the only cure to it would be a joint effort of all the Diamonds and even if she suspected that, she wouldn't have wanted to believe it.
Like I said; what Pink did was irrefutably wrong, but by coming back Pink could start to fix things, and become more confident as herself instead of creating all these alter egos. Just think about how overjoyed Yellow and Blue would be to truly get Pink back as herself, plus Pink's court would be much readier to follow her than Steven, Jasper as a prime example.
Jasmid Nurmi Most definitely!
Christine Ebersole is the actress doing the voice of White Diamond and White Pearl. She has a great singing voice.
The way you edit White Diamonds lip movements while saying her dialogue is soo much fun to hear and watch. And really gets me exited too see all the possible topics to talk about with White Diamond finally here after years of build up and teases.
Sly Cooper I don't think he edited her lips. If he's seen the scene as many times as I have, he has her dialogue memorized
Yea thats what I should have said thanks for bringing that up :)
I don't think with the talking to pinks gem theory that it's an expected conversation, more of her refusing to acknowledge Steven's existence and lecturing the gem who cannot even respond to her. Since she has absolutely no humanity from what we know, why would she give an organic life form the time of day aside from him basically being a vessel for pinks gem to her.
Plus remember, yes Steven was the one in that telepathic world but poofed peridot and lapis weren't there either. So she could have been treating it as though pink was just that, poofed and bubbled by Steven's body.
Could Be True! and Blue did made it sound that it was so Bad that is Not Colonized! and a Bunch of Humans are Still Alive! and Considered Pink to be Punished when Is Really Not Really Punished at All! She Seemed to have Lived a Better Life Than She Ever Did With The Other Diamonds! she even told Steven's Dad that No She Doesn't Miss Her Home Planet! At All ! ! ! ! !
i mean that Blue made it sound like that it was Bad for Earth to Stay Natural and Un-Colonized just the way it is and Also Called it a Horrible Planet! just most of the HomeWorld Gems ! ! ! ! !
Otaku STOP! You have me in tears MY GOD!!
I actually wrote a rant about this myself.
White Diamond rant
When White was asking those questions of Steven, we get a few shocking revelations.
When she said that pink “gave them a scare but it’s over now”
White revealed that from day one she suspected or flat out KNEW Pink wasn’t dead, right from the start.
But then White asked if pink “got it all out of her system”. Yeah you could tell she was angry with Pink, but there’s much more than that.
This implies that White never took the rebellion seriously. That right from the start, White saw it as just Pink playing some little childish game or some kind of phase!
White had believed that pink would “play hero”, get bored and come to her senses and then come back home to go back to being the version of a diamond everyone expected pink to be!
White had always viewed Pinks actions with earth as just an immature child playing make believe or only doing it to know the experience and then come back just to have bragging rights that “I got to do that”
And the fact that White wouldn’t even listen or bat an eye when Steven tried to talk shows that White never once cared about Pinks actions or rebellion.
To White it was that situation with a parent and child that goes...
“You’re a child, I’m the grown up, and I’m always right”
White is so set in her beliefs that she won’t listen to anyone but herself.
That also leads me to believe that White never cared about life on any planet that was not the gem home world. Or maybe not even Gem life.
It’s to early in the new season to know for sure because we only recently were introduced to White Diamond outside of gems gossiping, or talking about the past.
The point is, White KNEW Pink was alive, viewed the centuries of Pink rebelling as nothing more than a childish game, and has absolutely zero intention of ever helping or even listening to Steven.
One thing I'm worried about is her Pearl man *just look at her* 0____0
But I'm happy your back from having fun Otaku! 😊😊 *(hugs)*
Yesika Narvaez, yeah, why is White Pearl's physical manifestation cracked and only in possession of one eye?
Is more like 0______X
Axolotl 04 I had some conformation that in the next episodes to come, White Diamond and her Pearl have an abusive relationship, doesn't really treat her well *as you can see* Poor Pearl has it rough than the other Pearls
Yesika Narvaez
Pearl seems to speak just like her tho, just as emotionless and unatural. Now this is just my crackpot stupid theory, but there is a very good possibility that even White Pearl is above the other diamonds just by association.
Yesika Narvaez true, but don't gems have the ability to heal their physical projections of themselves?
Everyone is considering her to be the final boss, the ideas that she has mind control powers, but did anyone think of the idea that Steven is the final boss? Since we believe that she has mind control, wouldn't she control Steven himself?
Dark Fire Pvp what if WD controles Connie instead and she'd be forced to fight steven.
The thing is, is that a gem with mind control would be assumed to only work on gems, not organic life. if she was able to control organic life, wouldn't they have every human on their side?
Dark Fire Pvp remember what pearl said shes not like the other diamonds and that Steven doesn't know what she's capable of.
Dark Fire Pvp it's also possible she sees organic life as fodder and that's why she didn't bother this answers your question.But if she Connie as a way to get Steven to behave.
But still, why should the Crewniverse let Connie be controlled? She's organic she HAS to eat. She wouldn't be much use to WD dead, and I personally think her powers only apply to gems. It's been established that all of the gem stuff doesn't work on organics/humans. In my opinion, wouldn't a controlled Steven/Pink Diamond be more use to her in the long game?
Edit: Also, why would they show a death on the show?
What I found really interesting is Garnet's assertion of ""Steven" will be fine." with the emphasis on Steven. That makes me think that, unlike many previous theories, White Diamond actually does indeed care for her daughters, Pink included.
If we consider White Diamond to be...similar, in some way, to our Pearl, or, maybe, a warped reflection of her, she becomes even MORE terrifying.
Imagine Pearl with infinite power, far more arrogance, greater disregard for others opinions, with all her little insecurities stripped away. Then top it all off with Pearl's possessive nature. White Diamond may indeed love her Pink Diamond, but that may, in the end, make this entire situation even worse.
"I'm only doing this because I care, Pink!" * wiping the earths surface clean of life *
That's a pretty good theory. I always imagine White Diamond personality of Garnet calmness, wise, future vision and the thing you just wrote about Pearl.
Oh shit. I definitely want this to happen!!!
Can we talk about how white diamond looks like a goddess. Blue looks like a mage. Yellow a knight. Pink a joker.
woah good point
Wow
i knew i would love white diamond and boy do i. im a sucker for powerhouse characters like jasper and yellow diamond but now it’s all about white for me.
White Diamond is a great personification of Lovecraftian horror. When I first saw that episode and appearance, those were the vibes I got. Major props to the show's creators for instilling such an emotion.
White maybe recorded a message and the real White Diamond is somewhere else.
Retrobo
Inside of the chest in lions mane!?!?!?
Just maybe..... 🤫
I know this vid old but I still find it amazing that the diamonds have different ways of coping pinks death like
Blue Depression
Yellow Anger
White Denial
Oml that yellow diamond in a bathrobe at the end tho-
So, my theory is that White’s gem is litterally homeworld, and that homeworl ( aka white diamond ) is a carbon star. They are basically dead stars that leave a massive diamond behind with some other elements. Her birth probably ocurred millions of years ago, and she created other gems to make herself purer, extracting other gems so she would be nothing but carbon, a pure diamond. Then, homeworld got broken, and she got broken aswell, gaining her temper. She also despises cross-fusions, as it completely fucks with her perception of purity. Then she ran different colonies because she seed gemkind as the perfect race. Orgsnics are particularly hated because organic material is a union of carbon AND other elements.
I loved this video! And I hope you had fun in San Diego and you practically read my mind on the first impressions of White Diamond/Pearl. I adore how you’ve analysed WD’s words and actions.
Also I was so freaked out by her calming and terrifying words, White is truly a beautifully dangerous gem. She essentially doesn’t see anything that’s happened as a huge deal, she is definitely a antagonist for the show purely for her disinterest in what Steven attempts to say. I am looking forward to seeing more of her now.
Love this yellow diamond drawing at the end
I just thought about how gems can have powers, and that Sapphires, gems in low aristocracy of Homeworld (correct me if I'm wrong), have future vision powers. Watching your video made me think that, yes, White knew all about that, She is White Diamond, She is linked to Homeworld and IS Homeworld. Wouldn't it make sense for Her to also have future vision but more powerful that Sapphires' ? She remained silent because She saw why it had to happen (for what reason ?). Pink gave everyone a scare, they are all thrilled to see her back. But She saw all of it, She always knew how it would play out.
While Blue and Yellow are considered Pink's older sisters Yellow being the eldest daughter and Blue the middle child, White is more like their mother (I think?). Which would make Steven Blue and Yellow's nephew and White's grandson.
Can we acknowledge that white diamond has been abusing white pearl
TsunPeppermint I know that when gems are hurt they do retreat to their gemstone. So it must be some sort of damage to the construct of light, so yes. She also seems so robotic which is sickening. And don’t forget that this is a major issue, but no compared to THEE THIRTEEN PLANETS SHE POSSIBLY CARRIED OUT GENOCIDE!
TsunPeppermint my theory is that White is an obsessive perfectionist and broke pearl trying to make her perfect and that what happened to homeworld too. I think that's why she never left homeworld for such a long time because she was so focused on image and to make sure everything goes her way, and why she doesn't even move..
TsunPeppermint I think it’s closer to mind control, than physical abuse.
Xavier Triggs I think she's mine control too but it's been confirmed that they have an abusive relationship and it may be possible that only Steven could heal her
Magic Avocado ooooh I like it!!!
I love White because she's such an interesting character. I really want to see more of her.
SHE IS MY QUEEN!
Blackrose Revan- She is *the* *Diamond* !!
*cough* Empress.
*cough* *freddie mercury* *cough cough*
God Empress.
omg this just made me so scared for the crystal gems like wtf is white diamond gonna do to them not only that might the diamonds get punished to. She might be mad at them for not destroying the crystal gems on sight im shook...
I think white talking to pink is still very plausable. But other than u assumed i don't think pink was answering or something like that. I think she was just talking to the gem and completly ignoring Steven and since Pink can't answer in her current state she completly glossed over it.
YES! The white diamond video is finally here! It was a little late so I tried the roundtable but it wasn’t the same
I've been waiting for this video!!!! I love the fact that White is as eerie as she is, because for the first time, we have someone to truly fear. She isn't as emotional as Blue or Yellow, yet appears to be the most unstable (think Hannibal Lecter) this is perfect.
Yo, White is either 1) a sociopath 2) off her crystalline rocker 3) See 1 and 2.
Amanda Troutman most gems are sociopathic. Most cartoons are sociopathic.
HOW IS HYPE OF OTAKU NOT HERE WTF
Peridot4Mayor 2020 Well, otaku already seen the episode in sdcc 2018. We didn't see his HYPE reaction tho. Kinda sad
I just think White Diamonds nonchalant words are to show how detached from feelings she is.
Maybe you could cover white pearl? There is definitely something off about her, and maybe even that is an understatement
This might sound crazy but I believe white diamond is going to get shattered by a fusion of blue and yellow, with the help of Steven, Garnet,Pearl and,Amethyst. combined as one. There's going to be another civil war. And maybe white diamonds Pearl is going to set her up to her death.
I'm so glad that I subscribed to this channel 😁
This channel is the best😍
Psycho Unicorn ikr
Psycho Unicorn same here
Psycho Unicorn ikr
I would love a round table and slice of otaku collab tbh
Imagine if Slice was the actual voice actor for White 😂😂 I’m screaming rn 😭😂😭😂
someone really needs to do an edit of the white diamond clip and swap out all her lines for the ones in this video
that would be beautiful
White seems physically blind to me. She rather sees, not their physical form, but their gem, their aura. Because, to me, I feel like white would 100% comment on the different look of her. Maybe since she seems to have more mental powers she has seen the future, as a sapphire would but on a larger scale. I dunno, but I want to see more of her. I need it.
To answer your question on how ancient White might be:
Blue said that White "hasn't left Homeworld in eons". I googled how long an eon is, just read for yourself.
"Four hours ago is not an eon. Eon goes back to the Greek aiōn, "age." An age is not easy to measure, and neither is an eon. Both are just really long periods of time, but in science an eon is about a billion years."
In scientific terms, an eon is a BILLION years. That's 1.000.000.000 years. And Blue said she was on Homeworld for EONS not ONE eon. And who's to say White didn't already exist before she decided to stay on Homeworld forever? Saying she "hasn't left" Homeworld in eons implies that she HAS left Homeworld at some point before that. Maybe White is so goddamn ancient, she was created by the Big Bang. So if "eons" can be taken literally, then yeah, 6000 years is NOTHING to White. To her, it probably felt like just a day or two since she's lived so mindbogglingly long. Which, if you think about it, is terrifying.
Rens I like this, but she definitely left 5000 years ago in order to help yellow and blue with the corruption song. There's a clip of their 3 arms reaching out and blasting earth while rose grabs Pearl and garnet and hides behind her shield.
da-bohmb She COULD have stretched her arm really far...
I hate Life arms from here to homeworld.
Jeremy Wright your comment is blessed, and so are you
Rens maybe!! Sounds plausible to me.
The reason why white was glowing so bright was because she was controling her ship same way stevens legs started glowing when he controlled the leg ship
WD is terrifyingly beautiful, and she knew what PD had been up to since the beginning. She's literally unbothered by what happened over the past 6000 years and I'm sure she is the worst kind of mad there is: Calm/Silent anger😨
Edit: Loving the Yellow Diamond art at the end😄
I'd like to see a theory on how Steven is actually going to get White to help cure corruption, or at least, how they'll get off homeworld and/or defeat her..
After watching this episode I was just glued to whites pearl. I believe that our pearl and whites pearl were originally switched and white is abusive towards her new pearl
savy gamer why would they be switched? I mean, the gem placement and our pearls knowledge of white is curious, but what would cause them to switch? Furthermore, I don't think there's enough to tell us what white even does or what exactly she needs her pearl for.
JamieSeason well if pearls have a similar personality to their diamonds along with gem placement Pink's Pearl would have been childish just like her and white could have switched their pearls hers being smarter and more mature (our pearl) and if she has mind powers like a lot of people suspect should could be mine controlling her Pearl now
One thing is certain, she is going to be the most difficult antagonist in the show.
I have a small speculation / theory that Pink is actually fully aware of EVERYTHING that is going on and has happen while still being part of Steven. There are some things in the show that hint at this to be the case. So White talking directly to Pink while Steven thinks she is talking to him, makes sense and take this to another level.
Love your video and the fan art of Yellow Diamond at the end ❤️💛
Am I the only one who want to see white diamond angry 😕
Dlarence Parks the fact that she isn't angry is scarier
Queeneb only Queeneb i know that but that just make me want to see her mad more its wired ik
DIarence Parks: We'll see in due time. I just hope it's as intimidating as she is right now.
P. E. R. I hope its 1000 times more intimidating
DIarence Parks- Fingers crossed🤞.
I think the reason white’s Head is glowing is because well... Remember how Stevens legs were glowing while driving pinks ship.( her ship is a pair of legs) white’s ship is a head. Therefore her head is glowing. What do you think?
I think their ships could make a whole body because white has the head, Steven's got the legs and the other two has the arms. Right?
Ultimate White Diamond hype man!
Maybe she has something like the orb on the moon base that lets her monitor everything but accross the galaxy.
Should Smoky quartz and Rainbow quartz be renamed?
I viewed the "latest little game" thing as like, a parent trying to understand her child's weird interests. Thinking the pink diamond shattering is just pinks weird way of having fun. It shows the detachment some parents can have. I think she was scared by the war, but she's trying to be friendly and kind in this scene. But she just... Totally doesn't understand why pink would actually rebel other than for a little fun. And that to me, is terrifying. She also clearly doesn't view pink as anything other than toddler, and so she brushes pink off so she can get back to work without worrying about them again.
What if white diamond is a star and that’s why she’s so bright
Super Doug hAvEnt yOU nOtIcEd Im A stAr
Stupid Potato iM cOmInG iNtO vIeW aS tHe WoRlD iS tUrNiNg
No, she is a diamond. She is made of carbon.
White dwarf stars are made of diamond
You realize how big stars are right?
That white diamond impression though 👌😂
I used to theorize that White had the ability to see through the eyes of other gems. Now, I don't know what to think.
Van Oskuro she cobtroled her pwarl though
Van Oskuro Steven could see through the eyes of Blue so that makes sense !
Magic Avocado But she seem to not know that Steven is Steven, so that's kinda revokes my theory.
Van Oskuro well she sort of still is seeing through the eyes of the gem. Its just that the original projection(pink) was not answering back. I mean its possible to think she was talking to the gem,ignoring steven(because filthy organics amirite?) And expecting answers from the gem itself, so she either a ) answered her own questions in the way she wanted them to be answered,ignoring all possible answers steven or the gem could give
Or b) was actually talking to pink,and ignoring whatever she had to say in favor of what white wanted.
Either way shes a turd
But it doesnt inherently disprove your theory that white can see through the eyes of another gem
Edit: steven isnt the projection of light that pink is,he is organic so if she truly saw through the eyes of pink,she wouldnt see through steven(the show has done so much to show that they are different beings) as much as either darkness or herself. Which would lead to her answering her own questions.
SilentIsDaBomb what 😂
Who would find a fight between White Diamond and any god or powerful being, in single combat, from any mythos (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Cthulu, Japanese, Chinese, Warhammer, etc.) to be awesome or at least entertaining.
Papa slice is back!
what if when rose/pd used her shield in the corruption blast it convinced white that it was really pink instead of rose. Like she didn't know that pink wasnt really shattered until the shield reflected or protected herself from the blast. White was the only one to see this because blue and yellow thought everyone was shattered. (this is also why she wasnt at the trial because she knew that pink wasn't really shattered) And now that the secret is finally out and has yellow and blue convinced white knew that pink would be in her possession again on homeworld explaining her cool toned infered knowledge of pink really being alive this whole time.
Tht little accent you have for white diamond?? I love it
She's mad at the other diamonds, she didn't want to hear the others:blue and yellow diamond,so she just wanted to see pink because she is mad at her
In that episode greg questions garnet if there gonna be fine, and garnet said “Steven... will be fine.” But what about the others? What about Connie? Pearl? Amethyst? GARNET!?
Allimariaz whoops 😂
The voice that he puts on for White is hilarious
I love your videos.
My Diamond!
"Shine bright like a diamond" oh she is already is a diamond, nevermind
