Now listening to this song again, I see that White Diamond is very manipulative towards Steven. Before White Diamond was revealed, this song represented a mother's grief after losing her child, however, when White Diamond was revealed in the new episode Legs From Homeworld, she showed no emotions. White knew about Pink's shattering was a facade to not take responsibility like a child would and thinks her game is silly. White is punishing Pink by letting her see the damage she has does upon many gems who have served in the gem war and presented by all as to whom blame, wether she was Pink, Rose, or even Steven. White acts like she cares while singing the song, but is furthering the confusion of Steven's identity crisis, waiting to seize mind control as the puppet master to their puppet once more.
That's why everyone thought these animatics were so fitting. But then it turned out that White Diamond had pretty much NO bond with her daughters. She never seemed to spend much time with them, and had no hesitation with putting Pink in solitary confinement for acting out, or trying to MIND CONTROL all her daughters.
Jiado That’s a lie, Blue and Yellow said White Diamond shut her self away when pink “died”. BD and YD also said White would always hang out with them at Blues pool
I honestly I love this version of white and Pink better then the canon versions I really wish they made the relationship between them like mother and daughter as well as not make PD Rose the same gem. White is the protective mother of Yellow, Blue and pink but she’s very protective of Pink. When she heard about pink getting shattered she isolates herself and takes all her anger out on Yellow and Blue for not being there for Pink more by putting them under a lot of pressure and inforcing rules. When she hears about Steven this (the video) happens she can’t bring herself to kill Steven because she saw Pink in him. An innocent child. Steven in shock to see her cry comforts her (because he’s a forgiving cinnamon roll) at first she’s confused and ask him why he was doing it and he says “Everyone deserves comfort.” And she can sense that he wasn’t Rose but her son instead making her cry more and apologize to Steven with him comforting her when Blue and Yellow saw the mistake they made they to apologize in tears for constantly thinking that Steven was Rose and they say Apologies to Pink for not being there when she needed them Steven accepts they’re apologies (with the ghost of Pink) and he is glad to make new friends.
@@monicaclark8453 Because steven never had that bond. He never knew his mother beyond second hand accounts of her good deeds which turned out to be not the full picture.
THIS is the White Diamond I wanted, to be honest, someone with feelings and had a close, mother-like relationship to Pink, someone that Steven could really battle against because she's not just good or bad, it's not just black and white and he can't just go "EMPATHYYYY" and this tyrant is suddenly on her knees in front of him. I wanted more of a story and conflicting emotions between White and Steven because it shows kids that not every villain is bad for the sake of the plotline.
No, it didn't end like that lol he got them to see that they mistreated Pink and it's their fault she wanted to leave permanently. He got them to see they fucked up in a lot of ways. Plus, White Diamond was like a mother figure, an abusive mother figure to be exact. All of the Diamonds were abusive towards Pink.
I think you need to watch the episode again, fool. White Diamond wasn't evil just because of the plot, White Diamond thought she wasn't doing anything wrong and Steven needed her to wake up. White and Steven did have conflicting feelings for each other. There's no villains in Steven Universe, all of the villains in the show were just misguided people and were doing what they thought was the right thing to do. The message for children that you're talking about how "Villains aren't just villains for the plot" is what Steven Universe is all about. Pay attention!!!
Steven Universe showed us that there are no real villains in the world and that bad people like Lars or White Diamond can change for the better if they want to.
Sameee this would have been such a full circle moment, pink being Steven’s mom and learning to give her life up for him and seeing white diamond being a sad broken mother without her child would have been incredible
Okay so spoilers for season 5 i think ??, from "a single pale rose'' HOLY MOLLY THE SCENE WITH WHITE LOOKING DOWN AT STEVEN AND SEEING PINK HAS A HOOOOLE NEW MEANING NOW
This is honestly really impressive. It makes me think a lot about the dynamic of the diamonds in the show and it's really beautifully done, I just keep watching it over and over.
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow and she got stil to stand strong, as she is The godness, the empress, the Alpha to The omega. I myself wish she even If given The choice she would not be able to shatter Steven, feeling that It would make her as bad as Rose.
I believe that is why she didn’t go to the trail. She was to hurt to go. She didn’t want to show her weakness to her subjects. She didn’t take it that hard in the beginning but then the longer pink was gone the harder she took it.
Your White Dimond is one of my favorites. She’s so elegant and really well crafted. If we never really see White (I really hope we do) yours is definitely my head cannon.
No it won't. But it's an "if" not a "must" it's not a for sure thing you know. You don't know that, and I don't know that, so don't assume shit that you don't know.
This is the best animativ I have ever come across. The facial expressions, editing, story, and character design. I have no words. Thank you for making my day!
Con Spegs someone told me that I should make fanfiction about steven universe since I like adding a massive amount of details to my thearys they almost seem like fiction Cause that's how realistic it is
"There'll probably be a lot more and better animatics of this" Are you kidding me? This is the best I have seen ever! You deserve more viewers for your hard work. Good job and keep going :) My favorite scene is 2:32 I love the background and the sword :D
For me the Best scene are the diamond insignias Era 1: The emblem Is them together according to their height, All 4 together as family portrait. Era 2: Without pink the insignia rotates to triangles, but in this iteration it's because it's the remaining diamonds are devastated trying to cope with their pain. Embracing each other full of grief as White keeps them together.
Clayton Poole like she just.... you know faded away from existence in the first place... it's kinda like she wasn't meant to be there but in reality she needs to be there white, blue And yellow can't keep themself together (well yellow is grieving in a different way)
Kawaii Universe Grieving huh? You know, it's funny. Until know, I'd convinced myself that the Crystal Race had no souls. Just those rocks inbeded in their bodies. Because of what they did to all the world's they hollowed out into colonies, of what they try to do to Earth and Humanity, even if some of them fought to protect us, I refused to see their kind as anything. But a species of alien monsters. Incapable of feeling nothing.
Stephen Byrne yeah....it doesn't mean they have to have feelings for eachother..yes we know there aliens but.....it can't be sure if...they can feel feelings or pain from a loss of a friend.
This song fits so well and makes me more curious of the relationship between the diamonds, i haven't kept up with the show for awhile but I already caught wind of the news it will continue in 2018.
I'm absolutely mesmerized by this animatic. I love depiction of White Diamond. I always thought of her as the eldest, cold, dictator sister, however, this animatic really changed that for me. A mother who would do anything for her last child. I'm starting to believe that White Diamond truly did love Pink Diamond and was left with no choice but to rid of her, convincing herself it was Rose's fault for Pink's compassion towards Earth. Thus, that leaves Steven with the burden of finishing what Rose began. Absolutely beautiful. You kept the original aesthetic from the series and I love your design of the character. My favorite yet. Beautiful. Congratulations on such a masterpiece.
This White Diamond is SO PERFECT It will likely ruin her reveal for me... A Deified, Resplendent, Empress Warlord! Beautiful and fierce at the same time! Unless they completely blind side us like they did with Pink? I can't see the Crewniverse doing better then this!
This made me think “ what if white diamond shattered pink, but by accident. She then placed the blame on rose and then tries to force herself to believe that rose quartz killed PD.” I’m probably overthinking this.
What if it is Blue diamond? She shattered her by accident trying maybe ti to protect her. Then not being able to bear the situation she had a mental breakdown and lost her memories of the accident. It's a psychological condition that can happen to some people.
Despite White Diamond's design being off the mark (since we only just discovered what her design was until recently, somewhat the same with Pink Diamond) and slight Naruto-esque style I think the story you have here is the best and most powerful I've found here on youtube. Especially the moment where your White Diamond sees Pink cowering right where Steven is and her crying "After all" at the end. It captures the motherly affection I sincerely hope she actually feels in the show.
I come back to this animatic every so often to just listen and watch and read the comments. Today though I kind of started thinking about how in a “perfect world” (where the show crew weren’t worried about time constraints) how it to make it work so that we got this motherly version of white with actual fleshed our motives while also keeping the “rose is pink” “twist” because I actually kinda liked that. And I kinda was thinking of how pink would go about deciding to start the rebellion and decide to “shatter herself” if white was motherly, I ended up creating in my head a type of scenario that kinda goes off of the actual story of why pink decided that. Though instead of just going to yellow and blue she goes to white first. (I see her not having any issues with this if white is motherly) and her explaining fully why she doesn’t want to continue with the colony, but White doesn’t really understand where she coming from and instead changes the subject onto why pink would go to earths surface in the first place because she could’ve gotten hurt, and pink would bite back about how she isn’t fragile and how she can handle herself and a small argument. Then pink goes to yellow and blue but they don’t understand either and are far to busy with their own colonies to give it a second thought. Pink comes up with excuses but when that doesn’t work she makes the rebellion. Hoping that that’ll work. It doesn’t so she tries to go to white again, and White exasperated tells Pink that she gave up far too much for Pink to have a colony that she BEGGED for and that she needs to finish what she started and doesn’t let pink get a word in before hanging up. She has blue deal with her again and that’s when blue says the “as long as you are there to rule the colony will be completed” and pink shatters herself. Which causes them to ALL feel guilty. That’s just me making up stuff off the top of my head tho lol
Autumn rose she is but She's pink's Actual mother the other 2 are incubated by injecters. Of course she would be grieving for her own daughter's death Since she saw it herself and even screamed when it happened (of course this isn't canon but I hope something of my thearys are right)
What if the Crystal Gems were attempting to shatter White Diamond but Pink Diamond saved her so now White Diamond constantly blames herself for Pink Diamond's death.
I love this animatic so muuuch!! It´s so interesting to see how things have changed in the series and the things the fandom thought back in 2017, like PD Design and Whites personality
Watching this after a "Pale Rose" gives this song and video a totally diffrent view of everything especially that flash between steven and pink diamond
Even after the newer episodes I’d rather go with this lore, white diamond being a perfect mother who lost her child to this little human being is much more fulfilling than white being a whole heartless person whose heartless for about 20 minutes before being shown other life forms and becoming an ‘adorable cinnamon roll’ I love this so much
Ok, i love white diamond and her personality as a villain, but MAN a White diamond who was like a mother for pink and the others diamonds and blame herself and Rose for Pink's death would be so awesome, seeing her looking at Steven and seeing Pink's eyes, like a mother who would do anything to save her child would be amazing! And having her being not able to hurt Steven cause he is just a kid like Pink was, would be the cherry on the top
Look at how yellow and blue seem so happy with pink it's so sad that now she's gone.... This make me cry every time I watch it... Good work on the designs and animation 😭😭😭
I absolutely LOVED this video. Especially when White actually changed from sentimental to manic when she attempted to kill Steven, and the transition was so smooth it was practically flawless. Amazing work, keep it up.
This is such an amazing animatic! I love the sword part you added. In other animatics it just shows her crying the entire time, but in this you really showed the diamond side of her and her battle against her regrets. And I love the how you designed her, I’m really hoping she looks like this in the show. Keep up the good work!! :))
"The past you knew would haunt you, and the regrets you did not show... Might just grow up and save you after all" IS LITERALLY SO GOOD HERE? Because like yeah on one hand White Diamond is talking about herself, like the song implies - in a literal sense, there's the fact that Steven saves the diamonds emotionally, gives them closure, helps them to become better people, etc. But in another way, it almost sounds like she's telling Rose (through Steven) that she's lucky her son reminds White Diamond of Pink - the son that she resides in "grew up and saved her".
What’s funny is after seeing the change your mind, you realize that pink really did grow up and mature into Steven, and Steven grew up, and saved white and the others from the pain they felt
In my opinion, white diamond is actually broken from the thought of losing a child and was the most devastated. When she found out that pink was alive, she acted natural on the outside but on the inside, she was thrilled to find her alive. However, if she finds out that pink is gone and all of her was given to Steven, then well, we shall see
I swear to god, I really do prefer this conflict resolution with White Diamond and Homeworld than what happened in canon. Here, White holds back her life because she learns to EMPATHIZE with an organic life-form. She realizes that Steven isn't Rose, and that he's just a scared child like her Pink Diamond. In the Canon finale, all the Diamonds can't understand that Steven isn't Rose/Pink. They just learn that lesson enitrely off screen in time for the movie. Even when Blue says "she preferes to be called Steven," it seems more like a metaphor for a transperson than two totally different people. Also, the fact that they see Steven as a family member means that Steven has an easy out for getting them to listen to him, rather than any of them realizing that organics are real people... which is something they haven't even really learned by the movie.
Hearing this song in a new context, at least for me, is bittersweet. Nostalgic. So much was different in the show, but more so in the fanbase back then. So much was unknown. My early childhood was almost made of Steven Universe, but my favorite element of it was the complicated story slowly being woven through subtle hints. Back before jungle moon, when even the name pink diamond was a mysterious calling to the fans to speculate. I remember watching this video late at night thinking “if only.” I sometimes miss that element to the show, the theories, especially about the diamonds. And now that things are coming to a close and all the loose threads of the show are being wrapped in a neat little bow, I can only fondly remember the days when I could create my own theories about the story and what would happen next. I miss that. But maybe that’s just me. Here we are in the future I suppose.
This animatic has me shook, especially after the new episodes because White sees Pink in Steven in the animatic and in the show STEVEN IS TECHNICALLY PINK.
*HELLO STARLIGHT YOU CERTAINLY GAVE EVERYONE A SCARE*
Now listening to this song again, I see that White Diamond is very manipulative towards Steven. Before White Diamond was revealed, this song represented a mother's grief after losing her child, however, when White Diamond was revealed in the new episode Legs From Homeworld, she showed no emotions. White knew about Pink's shattering was a facade to not take responsibility like a child would and thinks her game is silly. White is punishing Pink by letting her see the damage she has does upon many gems who have served in the gem war and presented by all as to whom blame, wether she was Pink, Rose, or even Steven. White acts like she cares while singing the song, but is furthering the confusion of Steven's identity crisis, waiting to seize mind control as the puppet master to their puppet once more.
Madison Kilbury oml dude
@@madymae2001 Nowhere near as sympathetic as the character in this performance by Christine Ebersole.
*WE ARE JUST ALL THRILLED TO SEE YOU SAFE AND SOUND*
"There's a bond that exists between mother and child...ah, but then again...how would you know?" That matches so perfectly with the show.
That's why everyone thought these animatics were so fitting. But then it turned out that White Diamond had pretty much NO bond with her daughters. She never seemed to spend much time with them, and had no hesitation with putting Pink in solitary confinement for acting out, or trying to MIND CONTROL all her daughters.
Jiado That’s a lie, Blue and Yellow said White Diamond shut her self away when pink “died”. BD and YD also said White would always hang out with them at Blues pool
INDEED
The writers should have gone down that rout. Should've depicted white diamond as a mother who loved her daughter.
They really did White and Pink dirty to be honest
"Theres a bond that exist between mother and child, ah but then again...how would you know?"
WD MAH BOI
Like it makes sense
*When you finally see the real white diamond and yet you still rewatch this one.*
I honestly I love this version of white and Pink better then the canon versions
I really wish they made the relationship between them like mother and daughter as well as not make PD Rose the same gem.
White is the protective mother of Yellow, Blue and pink but she’s very protective of Pink.
When she heard about pink getting shattered she isolates herself and takes all her anger out on Yellow and Blue for not being there for Pink more by putting them under a lot of pressure and inforcing rules.
When she hears about Steven this (the video) happens she can’t bring herself to kill Steven because she saw Pink in him.
An innocent child.
Steven in shock to see her cry comforts her (because he’s a forgiving cinnamon roll) at first she’s confused and ask him why he was doing it and he says “Everyone deserves comfort.” And she can sense that he wasn’t Rose but her son instead making her cry more and apologize to Steven with him comforting her when Blue and Yellow saw the mistake they made they to apologize in tears for constantly thinking that Steven was Rose and they say Apologies to Pink for not being there when she needed them Steven accepts they’re apologies (with the ghost of Pink) and he is glad to make new friends.
You know since the pale rose episode reveal, the part where she looks at Steven and sees Pink, holds even more weight.
True foreshadowing
also adds to the "bond that exists between mother and child. ah, but then again ... how would you know?" hits harder
@@monicaclark8453 Because steven never had that bond. He never knew his mother beyond second hand accounts of her good deeds which turned out to be not the full picture.

HOLY MOLLY THE SCENE WITH WHITE LOOKING DOWN AT STEVEN AND SEEING PINK HAS A HOOOOLE NEW MEANING NOW
Julian Gimenez yeah
Wow, the foreshadowing is so overt that even the fans are getting in on it. Clap Clap Clap.
Now there is a thought. What pink diamond was just like Steven, merely a victim of circumstances.
Clayton Poole and the circumstances could be just her tripping
+George Washington 😂😂😂😂
George Washington "AW DUNK!"
Clayton Poole yes!
Here comes a thought that might be perfect.
I love the subtle poke that Pink Diamond is like Marie Antoinette both taken too soon, and both killed in a rebellion caused by their followers.
Also despite it not being her intentional or even direct fault, she is the scapegoat for the rebellion
hi
OmegaSenshen but did she let them eat cake?
Hmm I am going to say no since Gems don't eat, but maybe she let the humans at the Zoo eat Cake.
Bonnie Rabbit Marie Antoiniette never said that
Wd:rose!
Steven:my name is steven! Son of pd!
Wd:son of pd?
Steven:hey auntie
She's more like her grandma but that's okay
in the same tone as killmonger from black panther 😂
That's cute!
This is honestly really impressive. It makes me think a lot about the dynamic of the diamonds in the show and it's really beautifully done, I just keep watching it over and over.
A-NeilGaimanCharacter me too
Do you hear that?
It's the crewniverse crying...
Twin Subliminals + the fandom
We laugh in the future
True
This hits my feels hard! Poor white diamond the oldest of them all no wonder she is away she is probally taking pink diamonds death the hardest.
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow and she got stil to stand strong, as she is The godness, the empress, the Alpha to The omega. I myself wish she even If given The choice she would not be able to shatter Steven, feeling that It would make her as bad as Rose.
I believe that is why she didn’t go to the trail. She was to hurt to go. She didn’t want to show her weakness to her subjects. She didn’t take it that hard in the beginning but then the longer pink was gone the harder she took it.
I ended up crying 😭
Emry Gurule me too sis me too
Astrid Nipflake :D
This is one of the best animations I’ve seen how is it not having 1 million
Cody M You should see this animatic by schenman for Persephone and Hades it is beautiful
Hannah Cameron thank you I i’ll check it out
Hannah Cameron where could I find that?
Your White Dimond is one of my favorites. She’s so elegant and really well crafted. If we never really see White (I really hope we do) yours is definitely my head cannon.
Is it just me or does White Diamond got that Sasuke hair going on 😂
OMG YESS HAHAHA
Anna Wilkins , Or Super Saiyan hair
😂😂
Anna Wilkins Her hair in real show gunna be better
Anna Wilkins I thought I was the only one who noticed when I saw the back of her hair I was like is that sasuke
they said pd was killed with a sword. wd pulled out a sword.
did you notice it too??
Shawn Jacob yes definitely
YD have a sword too ,so what if i told u that WD send her pearl with YD and they .............
@@firasbech7854 lmao
beautiful!! I love ur design for White Diamond!
Thank you!!
She looks like pink diamond's actual mother if yiu get what I mean
You can just....see the pain in her eyes......I know how she feels the scar on you heart that pain of losing a child.....and no one understands 😔😔
I think steven can understand this feeling because he lost his mother after birth too and *SPOILER*
they lost the *same* person
It’s very cool to see what people thought the characters looked liked before the official design was released.
Great animation, sure the best i've seen in months 😀 This will be canon one day; just wait
No it won't. But it's an "if" not a "must" it's not a for sure thing you know. You don't know that, and I don't know that, so don't assume shit that you don't know.
Edgar Fernandes Garcia You and me both! I want that song!
+Paranoia LP For people like you is what I still having faith on humanity :D, thank you
Edgar Fernandes Garcia you might be right
I agree
Her lashes are on fleek
This is the best animativ I have ever come across. The facial expressions, editing, story, and character design. I have no words. Thank you for making my day!
Con Spegs someone told me that I should make fanfiction about steven universe since I like adding a massive amount of details to my thearys they almost seem like fiction
Cause that's how realistic it is
One of the most elegant designs I've seen for white diamond.
I love how you made white diamond and pink diamond I love the video it's amazing I just can't stop watching it !!
victor ruiz omg same can't stop watching it
victor ruiz same cant stoping watching
"There'll probably be a lot more and better animatics of this" Are you kidding me? This is the best I have seen ever! You deserve more viewers for your hard work. Good job and keep going :)
My favorite scene is 2:32 I love the background and the sword :D
flutter bunny in 2:37 she looks like a pyscopath without hesitation.
For me the Best scene are the diamond insignias
Era 1: The emblem Is them together according to their height, All 4 together as family portrait.
Era 2: Without pink the insignia rotates to triangles, but in this iteration it's because it's the remaining diamonds are devastated trying to cope with their pain. Embracing each other full of grief as White keeps them together.
This makes me think that like Steven, pink diamond was innocent in all this. That she was merely a victim of a tragic fate
Clayton Poole like she just.... you know faded away from existence in the first place... it's kinda like she wasn't meant to be there but in reality she needs to be there white, blue
And yellow can't keep themself together (well yellow is grieving in a different way)
Kawaii Universe Grieving huh? You know, it's funny. Until know, I'd convinced myself that the Crystal Race had no souls. Just those rocks inbeded in their bodies. Because of what they did to all the world's they hollowed out into colonies, of what they try to do to Earth and Humanity, even if some of them fought to protect us, I refused to see their kind as anything. But a species of alien monsters. Incapable of feeling nothing.
Stephen Byrne yeah....it doesn't mean they have to have feelings for eachother..yes we know there aliens but.....it can't be sure if...they can feel feelings or pain from a loss of a friend.
Kawaii Universe Sometimes I question whether they're real life forms.
Their is a reason...
This song fits so well and makes me more curious of the relationship between the diamonds, i haven't kept up with the show for awhile but I already caught wind of the news it will continue in 2018.
Thank you for the ❤😁

white diamond kinda looks like Azula from ATLA,, damn she's hot (hah a get it )
Sadistic Seer 😑😂
Hi Greg
This White Diamond is SO PERFECT It will likely ruin her reveal for me... A Deified, Resplendent, Empress Warlord! Beautiful and fierce at the same time! Unless they completely blind side us like they did with Pink? I can't see the Crewniverse doing better then this!
Dang I see it now
_Steven.... is Pink Diamond_
_Taking that understanding into this context..._
_Oh she's hurt...._
Extremely late but when I see this from Steven's perspective, it seems like a personal attack as Steven never even knew his mother
This made me think “ what if white diamond shattered pink, but by accident. She then placed the blame on rose and then tries to force herself to believe that rose quartz killed PD.”
I’m probably overthinking this.
Tourmaline The Drawing Noob I still think it's yellow diemond
YD would be too obvious. Still believe it was Pearl
What if it is Blue diamond? She shattered her by accident trying maybe ti to protect her. Then not being able to bear the situation she had a mental breakdown and lost her memories of the accident. It's a psychological condition that can happen to some people.
Keona Folsom Don't exaggerate. There are like culprit possible culprits.
Tourmaline The Drawing Noob same that’s what I was thinking
I love your design for white diamond! she looks so elegant :D

The best animatic I’ve seen. I love White Diamond’s Story arc.
I like the fact that she reminds me of Azula
Oh my gosh, this video after "A single pale Rose" is so amazing! we're going to need a version of this with updated designs XD
That is such beautiful art, I love it, I could just die! Keep up the awesome work! ♡♡♡♡♡☆☆☆☆☆
I hope we can be friends.

I love your white diamond it very unique
I like to think that white diamond is like a mother figure to yellow blue and pink
Autumn rose she is but She's pink's Actual mother the other 2 are incubated by injecters. Of course she would be grieving for her own daughter's death
Since she saw it herself and even screamed when it happened (of course this isn't canon but I hope something of my thearys are right)
What if the Crystal Gems were attempting to shatter White Diamond but Pink Diamond saved her so now White Diamond constantly blames herself for Pink Diamond's death.
Krystal Williams I love that idea! It's wonderful
Krystal Williams i like that...
Too bad! Though, that would've been the best twist.
Fireice 999 The twist we got was better
I wish
I am just in LOVE with your design for white Diamond!
I love this animatic so muuuch!! It´s so interesting to see how things have changed in the series and the things the fandom thought back in 2017, like PD Design and Whites personality
Beautiful animatic, utterly gorgeous!Just watch “A Single Pale Rose”...let’s just say that certain scenes in this animatic could be canon. Love it 😍
funny that the storyboarding is better than the actual show
MrBanksGames yeah so beautiful if she was one of them I'm sure it would look amazing!
True
Funny is, THEY USED THIS IN THE SHOW.
damn the feels is strong with this one and pink diamond is so freaking cute Y U DO DIZ!??? but other than that the animation was amazing
Watching this after a "Pale Rose" gives this song and video a totally diffrent view of everything especially that flash between steven and pink diamond
Even after the newer episodes I’d rather go with this lore, white diamond being a perfect mother who lost her child to this little human being is much more fulfilling than white being a whole heartless person whose heartless for about 20 minutes before being shown other life forms and becoming an ‘adorable cinnamon roll’ I love this so much
Well white possed her own children
AMEN
I love Steven universe and I love this animation well done
Cody M DANKE~ ^w^
I wish white looked like this in the show it would beautiful
Ok, i love white diamond and her personality as a villain, but MAN a White diamond who was like a mother for pink and the others diamonds and blame herself and Rose for Pink's death would be so awesome, seeing her looking at Steven and seeing Pink's eyes, like a mother who would do anything to save her child would be amazing! And having her being not able to hurt Steven cause he is just a kid like Pink was, would be the cherry on the top
Look at how yellow and blue seem so happy with pink it's so sad that now she's gone.... This make me cry every time I watch it... Good work on the designs and animation 😭😭😭
This song shows a mother's pain. It shows how much the death of Pink shattered the heart of White diamond. This song makes me so sad.
i love that this video still holds up after all of the Pink diamond plot twists! :>
I honestly enjoy this design of White Diamond more than the canon design.
Omg this was absolutely amazing!!I loved this so much and it fits so well!It's just ugh I can't!It's just too great you did amazing!♡
I love ur art never stop and get plenty of rest too ❤💛💚💙💜
Thank you!! QuQ
THAT ROAST AT THE END THO jk
but that ending just wow
"How would you know?" That is *so* savage. Steven wouldn't know 😂😂😂
I absolutely LOVED this video. Especially when White actually changed from sentimental to manic when she attempted to kill Steven, and the transition was so smooth it was practically flawless. Amazing work, keep it up.
This is such an amazing animatic! I love the sword part you added. In other animatics it just shows her crying the entire time, but in this you really showed the diamond side of her and her battle against her regrets. And I love the how you designed her, I’m really hoping she looks like this in the show. Keep up the good work!! :))
"The past you knew would haunt you, and the regrets you did not show... Might just grow up and save you after all" IS LITERALLY SO GOOD HERE? Because like yeah on one hand White Diamond is talking about herself, like the song implies - in a literal sense, there's the fact that Steven saves the diamonds emotionally, gives them closure, helps them to become better people, etc. But in another way, it almost sounds like she's telling Rose (through Steven) that she's lucky her son reminds White Diamond of Pink - the son that she resides in "grew up and saved her".
What’s funny is after seeing the change your mind, you realize that pink really did grow up and mature into Steven, and Steven grew up, and saved white and the others from the pain they felt
thats not how reproduction works...
In my opinion, white diamond is actually broken from the thought of losing a child and was the most devastated. When she found out that pink was alive, she acted natural on the outside but on the inside, she was thrilled to find her alive. However, if she finds out that pink is gone and all of her was given to Steven, then well, we shall see
I love this a HECK of a lot more than the stinking arc we got
This version of white and pink are so pretty.
They look just like their murals.
My favorite thing is how there are so many random songs that fit perfectly with the Diamonds
Amazing animation! You really put a lot of hard work into this and it looks fantastic!
I swear to god, I really do prefer this conflict resolution with White Diamond and Homeworld than what happened in canon. Here, White holds back her life because she learns to EMPATHIZE with an organic life-form. She realizes that Steven isn't Rose, and that he's just a scared child like her Pink Diamond. In the Canon finale, all the Diamonds can't understand that Steven isn't Rose/Pink. They just learn that lesson enitrely off screen in time for the movie. Even when Blue says "she preferes to be called Steven," it seems more like a metaphor for a transperson than two totally different people. Also, the fact that they see Steven as a family member means that Steven has an easy out for getting them to listen to him, rather than any of them realizing that organics are real people... which is something they haven't even really learned by the movie.
IT"S CONFIRMED THAT CHRISTINE EBERSOLE IS THE VOICE ACTRESS FOR WHITE DIAMOND!
Insane prediction.
This is STILL what I believe White Diamond should have been.
That pink diamond replacing steven was damn greatly accurate when knowing those two are one and the same.
Hearing this song in a new context, at least for me, is bittersweet. Nostalgic. So much was different in the show, but more so in the fanbase back then. So much was unknown. My early childhood was almost made of Steven Universe, but my favorite element of it was the complicated story slowly being woven through subtle hints. Back before jungle moon, when even the name pink diamond was a mysterious calling to the fans to speculate. I remember watching this video late at night thinking “if only.” I sometimes miss that element to the show, the theories, especially about the diamonds. And now that things are coming to a close and all the loose threads of the show are being wrapped in a neat little bow, I can only fondly remember the days when I could create my own theories about the story and what would happen next. I miss that. But maybe that’s just me. Here we are in the future I suppose.
This animatic has me shook, especially after the new episodes because White sees Pink in Steven in the animatic and in the show STEVEN IS TECHNICALLY PINK.
your animation had great foreshadowing
This is so perfect considering the reveal :D
3 years later and I’m still watching on repeat
If I was a saiyan I would have white diamonds hair style from this video cause she looks amazing
This is gorgeous and heartbreaking. (And wow, it sure takes on another dimension now!)
this scares me, white diamond is actually voiced by Christine ebersole now, and this was uploaded before her reveal ahmghh
I love this design best of all white diamond art....
You know It's beautiful when you're watching this and tears fall
Even though the trouble is over I still come back just to listen to WD's beautiful voice just to relax#2020
Now we have white diamond reveled, and she's the scariest damn gem I seen. Honestly I like this design better
This is the best one I've seen. The animation and emotions are beautiful!!
Watching this after Jungle Moon, this is the closest Pink to the official, good job.
2:49 Well, that fits so well now that we know that Steven is basically Pink Diamond.
This is wonderful! I cried...
This has to be the best after all animation I have seen so far
This is one of the best!😍
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! AMAZING JOB
😲........ this. Is. AMAZING ,Truly beautiful, emotinal, absolutly outstanding!! Keep up the great work.😊👍👍
Pink: **is born**
Everyone: lol what are you supposed to be
Pink:**dies**
Everyone: uGh My diamond changed my life *UNCONTROLLABLE CRYING*
god this hits so hard after a single pale rose... great animation
wow i can't believe this is amazing:o i like it!!
Remember when we thought White Diamond had emotions?
I do remember that
Same
How did you know!?!? With this newest episode of Steven Universe it changes the meaning of this lovely animation.
I'm surprised how you don't have more subscribers! Very well done!
This is actually pretty spot on for pink and white's looks! We didn't really get to see them until recently. (I mean pink a few months ago but still!)
