maybe white diamond already knew pink wasn't shattered maybe she saw this coming? and who would have made sapphires with future visions the diamonds but I dunno maybe white diamond can see through bullshit and lies XD
White Diamond was all calm because she took all her anger out by destroying several galaxies and calmed herself down by shopping for the most *E X T R A* heels ever.
I feel like White Diamond created Yellow, Blue,and Pink diamond as a means to rid her self of unnecessary emotions and actions. She must've created pink diamond last being that she's the smallest but the most impulsive.
The scariest thing about White Diamond is her calm mindset and her motherly voice. She's so calm yet so intimidating. She doesn't even truly look like a gem. She looks like a cosmic entity. Blue and Yellow Diamond stood out from other gems and looked more elite sure, but White Diamond straight up looks like a goddess.
White Diamond doesn't let Steven talk, which means he can't talk his way out of things using his conflict resolution skills. This is going to be one very tough big bad to deal with.
White diamond had the potential to be alongside Bill Cipher as one of the best villains in modern cartoon history, but she was redeemed in a single episode.
People do find that calmer people are the scariest because they don't shout but you can tell their mad but it can be hard to tell. It makes them harder to read which just makes them all the more scarier. So it's kinna creative they made white diamond like this.
I feel like they've written themselves into a corner though, steven will have to talk white diamond into helping him. Why? The corrupted gems, I doubt the Crewniverse will leave that unresolved and it will take all four diamonds to cure the corruption. IE she cant remain the enemy forever.
Germy Forev I mean they can pull it off without her being redeemed. Imagine if the sneople (or whatever other race) are at war with gems, a pretty popular theory, but then White gets desperate so she helps them cure the corrupted gems, then after beating the sneople the gems have a final battle with White
I don’t think she was being so calm because she was distant, I think she was smiling and down-playing everything because she was just that pissed! Kinda like how a mom does.
Yeah, she reminds me a lot of mother Gothel from Tangled and the other mother from Coraline, very emotionally distant and dismissive about everything. Yet beneath her calm, seemingly emotionless mask lies a deeply resentful and aggressive personality that lashes out at everything and anything they perceive as a threat to their power. Based off of first impressions, she does seem to have a motherly aura to her, but that doesn't necessarily mean she is kind and forgiving like the way she presents herself to be. Either way, I can tell Steven will have a hard time reaching her, and when it does eventually come down to a confrontation, I think well see just how much of a cruel and sadistic monster White diamond can be.
Yeah..... I’m sorry it didn’t happen that way :/ but you know don’t feel like you were wrong about how it should’ve gone. You were just wrong in how it turned out because you are right. It doesn’t make sense how fast atleast they did redeem her. It doesn’t add up or line up. But the fact was that this wasn’t how it should’ve played out (how it was was rushed) because of how the show was abruptly cut short due to Cartoon Network
White Diamond comes off as the person who doesn't really care about anything and is willing to just let people go about their business, not really minding what happens. White: Oh, you're back? Had fun? Okay, good talk! Bye!
Date Masamune you are surely wrong... could you not sense the passive aggression? Literally her PEARL shut the gems up from celebrating....A PEARL?? This is an example of true fear
She looks like a goddess, very stylish and regal compared to the other diamonds. She just oozes "I am above you in every way, and you sir are a peasant" Her voice sounds so light but with a sinister undertone, that's some great voice acting. She's so beautifully scary she could probably hold a conversation with guests, shatter a gem in the most savage an horrific way an stay smiling and talking like nothing happend while her subordinates clean up the carnage and her guests are scared asf. She is the epitome of a Queen bee, and queens don't play with the commoners, they rule over them.
I would say that she has an abusive mother vibe; I honestly think she believes all the terrible things she does is for the benefit of her gem children. Typical of a sociopath, she presents a warm open facade while being emotionally distant. Any dissent from her subordinates is met not only with physically violent retaliation, but also an even greater measure of psychological abuse. It's akin to saying 'look at what you made me do.' And the choice of voice actor is what gives it the sinister undertone you mentioned. It's like casting Florence Henderson from 'The Brady Bunch' to play Hannibal Lecter. The creep factor comes from knowing what the character has done and is capable of doing, and having to reconcile it with a voice that sounds like the epitome of motherly affection.
She is *literally* an alien compared to the other gems. If Steven even tries to talk to her she'll either ignore him or just laugh in his face. Everything from her design to her personality makes for the most perfect villain. I can't wait to see her relationship with her Pearl be explored. It seems like her Pearl is her version of a stress toy she can abuse when she's angry.
When white diamond was speaking to steven it reminded me of those automated voice calls where it doesn’t hear you but its supposed to sound like its in a conversation but there never timed right...does that make sense?
I think she was just intentionally being rude. Like she didn't want to actually talk. Like impatient and rude people in real life. They just cut you off.
She didn't seem like a sociopath exactly. Serenity before the storm. It means you keep calm for a bit until you completely flip out. It's like when you're so pissed you go calm for a few minutes and then completely lose it. That's what I was getting. She probably ushered Steven out of the room because he just arrived and then is about to go beat the hell out of Yellow and Blue Diamond. Also, remember the Cartoon Network bingo? There was a square that said: ''Gem gets shattered''. My bets are on White Pearl. It was strange that White wasn't moving at all and I know there is a fan theory that what we've seen of White was just a prerecorded message but I still don't know how to feel about that yet. I do think it's a bit early to gather a lot of White's personality but what I can tell is that something is very wrong with White mentally and emotionally. It's like she has been in denial or she actually knew Pink would come back.
I was thinking something similar. Blue said she hasnt left homeworld in eons i find that to be strange. Also she feels like a sociopath to me. Feiging emotion and expression when you dont really feel anything other than anger and rage and are violent and abusive sounds like a sociopath to me. But i do agree somethings not right with her she keeps talking about everyone else being hapoy to see pink but she never mentions what she thinks or feels about it
She's actually terrifying, the fact that she is smiling and calm, even after all that happened. And that her pearl(and her) seem so emotionless, it gives me chills :0
It’s plausible, in a way. White, after all, didn’t seem phased, shocked, or surprised that Pink was back, rather asking if it was all out of her system. Gems were even gathered out there to cheer for Steven. She probably knew the corruption would happen over Blue and Yellow as a result. Of course, I say this before we see what truly happens, naturally lol
That's actually a pretty smart conclusion everyone is like her game pieces pink thinks she's playing a game when in fact it's actually white diamond. White diamond is all powerful like a goddess so everyone below her are just being to use as game pieces to pass time to keep her entained as what a pearl is meant to do however hers can do no longer. And I'm rambling again 😅
Yeah, White is definitely the greatest villain of them all. I mean her line "Did you get it all out of your system?" seriously sent chills down my spine.
White Diamond can not cure corruption. She is emotionally abusive and will only accept complete obedience. If she reforms a gem it can only be in her own image and that will only make them a zombie without will or intent. There’s a reason White’s pearl has the same voice as White instead of the other pearls.
She can't cure corruption. Only Yellow, Blue, and Pink can do that. But she CAN make what they do Permanent, and she can shine it like a light over an entire planet. With Steven's help, they can make a De-corrupting Light.
Ayelis yeah but we don’t know if she can make it permanent. She is a villain and will need to be convinced to even try, but we don’t know if she can be convinced. There is an evil in people with “good intentions” that makes it almost impossible for them to change their minds.
What scared me was when garnet said, “Steven will be fine....” to Greg! Does that mean she saw everyone except Steven be killed/shattered, corrupted, or injured/cracked
Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. She is a diva, she sparkles like a star...White Diamond is Marilyn Monroe, confirmed. All she is missing is the signature mole on the cheek.
When White Pearl spoke to Blue and Yellow and said "Only Pink Diamond's presence is necessary" she sounded more like "bish u heard me sayin *blue, yellow and pink* ?? shut the fucc up and lemme do what i need to do u a-holes"
Did anyone notice in the episode "Legs From Here To Home World" that Greg asks Garnet, "Garnet should I be worried?" To which he gets a reply of, "(Steven) will be fine." Just the way she says this bothers me and I'm curious if it's foreshadowing. She says Steven and pauses for a second, will be fine as she looks down. Then it's just played off as she ask's Greg to "water" Cat-Steven for her while shes gone. I wonder if she saw anything with her future vision. I just hope nothing bad happens to the Crystal Gems .
Remember that the cat is also named Steven. She hands Steven to Greg right after she said that. Maybe she was talking about the cat just to make Greg feel more at ease.
That's exactly what I got! She acts like a dysfunctional mother; violent and abusive to her older children, and dismissive and infantilizing of her younger child.
Am I the only one who noticed that she doesn’t move like she is a statue and yellow said she hasn’t left home world do you think maybe she can’t move cos she is holding home world together???
I also think that Steven is white diamond's only weakness. I mean think about it, they said that white was not like any other gem but neither is Steven. Normal stuff that effects gems does not effect Steven. So I think that while white is extremely powerful Steven will be her downfall... Edit: I have never got this much attention and I love the feedback.
I’ve been there joking along these lines, like how Pink Diamond’s quarters might be physically barring for gems, like the brigs, and Steven is largely immune to them. Connie didn’t react to Blue’s Aura, and Steven was the only one crying with her in That Will Be All (Not Greg), so his humanity likely makes him affectable but resistant, at least. Maybe only slightly resistant to power like White Diamond’s. Maybe the most resistant, since his body is basically self-healing.
Actually what would be cool is if her power halfway works on him so his the gem side of him loses all emotion. Then he would have to fight himself while also fighting White!
Oh, she's definitely not above this. She may be an expert at putting on the whole "calm" act but I can tell just by her voice and the subtle movement of her eyes that she is beyond furious and if I had to use a word to describe her, I would use the same one that many in this fandom have said: sociopath
An interesting twist is White actually agreeing happily to help restore the corrupted gems on Earth...just so Pink (Steven) can continue with the colony development as intended. Steven, obviously, rejects this and THAT'S when White gets angry, explains how she knew everything was just a game but now it's time to 'grow up'. Then the pu pu platter hits the wind generating machine. Heck, she might even offer to restore the shards of the cluster back into their original gem forms if Pink just gets back to work. How could Steven say no to that?
MrStrikecentral that would be Stevens hardest decision lose the hope of healing corrupted gems and friends *OR* Have them saved but lose all freedom that pink/rose were fighting for, that would make an awesome story arc
Pink Blue and Yellow are the Emotions White couldn't deal with so she split her self to rid her self of their weaknesses. The development within this story line will be way too good! on that note if you take Yellow and Blue which makes green and added Pink you get a sorta off tone brown coloring add white to that and its a murky dark diamond that of the lightly tented scale then you have a near colorless diamond with the next on the scale being the totally Colorless diamond Which is what we are dealing with in Whites case.
That actually makes a lot of sense. In her telling of Roses story, garnet said the diamonds "unique in their flawlessness" which always confused me because blue and yellow are obviously very flawed. If your theory is true then blue yellow and pink ARE the flaws and white tried to make herself flawless. Maybe this can only be resolved by all of the diamonds re-fusing into one again.
So is Pink Diamond a manifestation of her impulses and attachment to her creations? If she is the mother of all gems, maybe she viewed her love for her children as a weakness and purged herself of love itself. But then again, why would she be so understanding with Steven...?
I believe White Diamonds 'glow' isn't due to her being a star, but because they are in her ship! As Steven is in the Pink Diamond Ship his legs are glowing , and the same goes for White! You'll see that her glow comes from ONLY her upper body, and her feet dont actually glow at all, and that her legs seem faintly glowing because its shining down from her head. If she was a Star her entire body would glow including her toes haha! Also in Rebecca Sugars drawings she has a more visible gem and her eyes are darker, which is probably what she looks like when shes out of her ship!
Mooyeah that's a very high possibility as well! I'm so excited to see what's in store tbh but I dont support that concept of her glow being that's shes a star
Genius that makes so much sense when you think of it. Why did I think of it. This also helps prove my theory that the structure white diamond is in is her ship. And that all the diamonds body part ships can connect or “fuse” into one
I have a theory about White right now. White tells Steven "Did you get it out of your system?" and acted so calmly. White knew everything. She knew about Pink being Rose and everything in the rebellion. She just saw it as a tantrum, like a teenage rebellion. So she let Pink think everything was going according to her plan. She had to keep Yellow and Blue out of the loop so they wouldn't go get her. That would explain why there's a giant crowd ready to greet their return. It would also add a reason for Yellow and Blue to join the crystal gems against White.
If she did know the entire time that would definitely make her the ultimate villain, letting Blue and Yellow suffer as much as they did with the loss of Pink.
Blue diamonds says White Diamond hasn’t left Homeworld for “Eons” which basically means 1 Billion years So basically White Diamond is a couple BILLION Years old So yeah SHE IS OLD AF HOLY
The reason White feels intimidating as she is, is because of the way she speaks and how passive aggressive she comes off as. It even feels like she knows everything that happened with Pink judging by the way she reacted to Steven She feels oddly similar to someone like Monika in that vein, someone who acts friendly and warm but you know there's more to them than that...
Except in the end, Monika was a pretty decent girl corrupted by her programming as president and knowledge that nothing in her world was real. White has none of those excuses. She's not programmed to act the way she does. She just does it because it suits her.
Bronson Ferrigno I agree, that's one of the reasons why I like Monika honestly XD However, I wouldn't be surprised if White had redeeming qualities to her, this is Steven Universe after all. The show Rebecca Sugar claimed had no "villains" hehe
noname144able *JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA*
I have a theory that the white diamond we see is not actually her appearance. I theorize that she is not pristine but in fact dying and broken, like her planet, like her pearl. Not only is the white diamond we see standing stoke still but it sounds like she's running a recorded message.
I think her power is to just make things permanent, her pearl is permanently scarred (something which shouldn't be possible without messing with the gem's body formation "software" She is like the admin of the game, you can try to revert things but it aint permanent without her power to let it be
The dramatic yelling in this video was priceless to me, like "NO, THE *PLANET* IS SPLIT INTO _PIECES!!!!!!!!_ WHO, DID THIS?" made me start cracking up because of the way he said it, and that wasn't the only moment I found amusing. The dramatic emphasis throughout the video was just great haha
I would love to see Steven 'getting' a new Pink Pearl, and White would say something like "Oh, Starlight, where is your Pearl? Don't worry, I have made a new one just for you!" *clap clap* ^a new pink pearl walks out^ "My Diamonds." *does little hand thingy* And Steven tries to convince this new Pearl that she can do whatever she wants and tries to take her back to Earth
I was thinking yellow is physical, blue is emotional, white is conscious mind, and pink is subconscious to unconscious mind. (Taking into account his ability to connect to both people and gems in their dreams)
Yeah a lot of people think that but I just don't think it's true. Onion has nothing to do with the ultimate plot of this show. He's just a weirdo. Lmao
Nick's Summer Vlogs idk I feel like homeworld is at war right now with an alien race. Like why would pink and blue diamond come out of nowhere for the cluster. It looked like they were in a rush
Imani Culver I see where you’re coming from but I think it’s too far fetched. Power is power an yellow has had enough with earth. She came to get the cluster and blue prioritized on pinks “killer”
THE DIAMOND OF ALL!!!
The Roundtable NOTIFICATION SQUADDDDDDDD
The Roundtable 100%Correct
white diamond scares me...
YESSS
Helo ya'll
White Diamond: You've been gone for 6,000 years.... Now go to your room.
^
My mom when im 3minutes late
XD
And she says it all with a calm voice in a smile on her face.
maybe white diamond already knew pink wasn't shattered maybe she saw this coming? and who would have made sapphires with future visions the diamonds but I dunno maybe white diamond can see through bullshit and lies XD
XD
Of course she’s the best villain. She’s T-posing for dominance
T POSES
*N O I M T H E A L P H A ! ! !*
spaced out t pose to show ur dominance
Give this person a *grammy!*
Ellen Morgan I somehow read that as "Noim the Palma"
I need to go to bed already
Give her the halo theme song
White Diamond was all calm because she took all her anger out by destroying several galaxies and calmed herself down by shopping for the most *E X T R A* heels ever.
PAN PAN04
RIGHT? GIRL, I NEED THOSE!
Heather Chandler X TRA
Her heels are A GREEK FUCKING PILLARSSS
Heather Chandler white can I have your heels
Is nobody gonna point out that your pic and user is from the movie, heathers?
I feel like White Diamond created Yellow, Blue,and Pink diamond as a means to rid her self of unnecessary emotions and actions. She must've created pink diamond last being that she's the smallest but the most impulsive.
That sounds really ininteresting.
makes sense
what a great deduction! I like this point because it would make A LOT of sense. A LOT!!!
That was proven to be kinda true
White said to Pink (Steven) "You're a part of me that I always repressed"
Awesome thought!
The scariest thing about White Diamond is her calm mindset and her motherly voice. She's so calm yet so intimidating. She doesn't even truly look like a gem. She looks like a cosmic entity. Blue and Yellow Diamond stood out from other gems and looked more elite sure, but White Diamond straight up looks like a goddess.
Storm Bringer777 Dam where did she get those heels?
Storm Bringer777 gems are made of light but white seems to be stuck between that phasing period
Storm Bringer777 TBH I get the feeling she was supposed to be based off Hera. Ya know queen of Olympus and zeus' wife.
yeah same
Storm Bringer777 this is how real life's god looks like....a giant white woman
Vox, I worry about you.
ArtistIzzy
He’s so excited and screaming XDD
Same
Same
God-Emperor, man! Calm thy mammaries.
Same
White Diamond doesn't let Steven talk, which means he can't talk his way out of things using his conflict resolution skills. This is going to be one very tough big bad to deal with.
Persephone Black b
Green Diamond and the Temple Fusion team up battle
I've been waiting for Steven to finally learn talking doesn't solve anything. Neither does violence but actions speak louder than words
Persephone Black The fact that she knows thats his pink without him explaining is more creepier
Perhaps he could try the same technique that got through to Blue and Yellow Diamond on White.
Y’all remember when peridot and jasper were the villains 😂😂
Oh I remember
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I remember when together breakfast was a hard enemy
When nephrite/centipeetle was a villain back in episode 1
Yes, and FRYBO.
*Ring! Ring! Ring!*
Rebecca Sugar: Hello?
Me: Yeah, Hi. You kinda broke AwestruckVox. He won't stop screaming.
EnderTroller Broke? More like shattered
well he'd be gone forever and that might be the case
EnderTroller Hahaha true
"White Diamond please lis-"
"Good good, now go back to your room"
Why can't this show make sense and explain her motives?
it's literally only her debut episode that's out right now. we'll probably learn more about her later down the road.
Them heels made White Diamond the perfect antagonist
Lol
I want the same ones
CallMii Garnet Agreed. Plus her makeup DAMNNNN
CallMii Garnet them toes
White diamond had the potential to be alongside Bill Cipher as one of the best villains in modern cartoon history, but she was redeemed in a single episode.
She should've been unapologetically evil
People do find that calmer people are the scariest because they don't shout but you can tell their mad but it can be hard to tell. It makes them harder to read which just makes them all the more scarier. So it's kinna creative they made white diamond like this.
coffi Foxi I mean, the voice actress they chose is fucking brilliant: she played Cinderella's step mother in the Broadway musical, Ever After.
White Diamond remindes me of when your mom is being a little too nice to you and you know that you're in huuuge trouble Dx
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Steven will always try talk his way out of anything." Shes the perfect antagonist cuz she doesn't let him talk smh
I thought the same lol
Dadzawa Confirmed lmao
I feel like they've written themselves into a corner though, steven will have to talk white diamond into helping him. Why? The corrupted gems, I doubt the Crewniverse will leave that unresolved and it will take all four diamonds to cure the corruption. IE she cant remain the enemy forever.
Germy Forev
I mean they can pull it off without her being redeemed. Imagine if the sneople (or whatever other race) are at war with gems, a pretty popular theory, but then White gets desperate so she helps them cure the corrupted gems, then after beating the sneople the gems have a final battle with White
Steven Universe has entered the realm of planet busters, white diamond is immune to steven's talk no jutsu
Blue Core77 ah I see you are a man of culture.
The One Way Road Why yes i am😁
Oh gawd that mean she's basically Madara and we can expect some random enemy to show up out of nowhere and take over white diamonds place as enemy
This man is happy.... very happy...

The diamond with the longest *neck.*
White *Goddamn* diamond.
Yellow has a rival now

Hey, Vox, breathe man
Cottonbears 😂
Breathing is for normies
White Diamond reminds me of the other mother from Coraline. She'll seem nice... until she isn't.
Me Mo I gotta say that is a perfect example for white diamond!
Me Mo YESSSSSSSS
Omg there is a video talking about carolines other mother in the recommend of my feed rn
OMG LEGIT, SPOT ON.
Me Mo
Yep.
White diamond has toes. That's why everyone's scared of her.
Raito ._. Lol
You cracked the case
So you mean...nobody....wants to go...toe to toe with her?
Raito ._. But like...he beautiful shoes distract from that a small bit
She's also got those lashes
I don’t think she was being so calm because she was distant, I think she was smiling and down-playing everything because she was just that pissed! Kinda like how a mom does.
Yeah, she reminds me a lot of mother Gothel from Tangled and the other mother from Coraline, very emotionally distant and dismissive about everything. Yet beneath her calm, seemingly emotionless mask lies a deeply resentful and aggressive personality that lashes out at everything and anything they perceive as a threat to their power. Based off of first impressions, she does seem to have a motherly aura to her, but that doesn't necessarily mean she is kind and forgiving like the way she presents herself to be.
Either way, I can tell Steven will have a hard time reaching her, and when it does eventually come down to a confrontation, I think well see just how much of a cruel and sadistic monster White diamond can be.
oh geez scoob
I'm not mad just disappointed
Glad I'm not the only one who sees it this way - she's basically a furious mother.
**Comes home late**
White diamond: **Turns around slowly in spinny chair** Oh, you're home a little late :)
True ! Also, nice Lance pfp;)
White diamond is basically the Thanos of SU.
Eh. That's a stretch
THAT'S WHAT I EXPECTED
"Pearl, i don't feel so good..."
Well at least Thanos had some emotion
She can't snap tho. She just *snaps*
She's just standing there... MENACINGLY!!!
TheRougeFearow make this top comment
THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY 「GEM 」!!
She looks like an angry mom with a tree star on her head.
This is the absolute most perfect use of this quote
Can't wait for the next 3 episodes to come out in 8 years.
Brian Gloskey Don't be silly. They'll come out in eons!!
Someone please pin this!
My theory is the next episode will come out soon
buT iT WILl bE FILLeR

In 2025 the canceling is anouced
They'll come out in the next millennia 👍👍👍
Just imagine walking in on Vox literally screaming into a microphone violently.
Every time he screams I bust out laughing but like same tho
Saaame 😂😭
MEE
He's so funny I was laughing too 😂
I kept turning down the volume.
Jasper said it perfectly: “you can’t manipulate me Rose!” You know who else can’t be manipulated? *White Diamond.*
Robert Cook Jasper is white diamond confirmed
rosieanox Best disguise ever 10/10 - IGN
You wanna know who else can’t be manipulated? Onion.
lol onion!
Percentage of why I enjoyed this video:
20% Content
80% Vox shouting and losing his schnee.
Kei Ziah Knight1886 Thats pretty accurate
I have never turned up my volume so fast, my family is questioning me...
Can you blame him though? This episode was INSANE
Kaibaman41 I COMPLETELY AGREE!! White diamond just shocked me so bad. I am in complete fear of her and can't wait for more!!
I screamed when I heard WD's voice, I had a mini heart attack when I saw her XD Vox is us irl
I don't know why but you yelling makes this WAAAAAY more entertaining and funny. 😂
YawnaBear he’s super hyped
YawnaBear
It is hilarious
I sincerely believe they are not going to redeem white diamond. Steven's ass can't talk his way outta this one.
White diamond is the way she is because she separated her emotions into all the other diamonds. No emotions for her . The other diamonds have them.
Stevens penis will have to save the day this time
well I've got some really late news for you heheh
Yeah..... I’m sorry it didn’t happen that way :/ but you know don’t feel like you were wrong about how it should’ve gone. You were just wrong in how it turned out because you are right. It doesn’t make sense how fast atleast they did redeem her. It doesn’t add up or line up. But the fact was that this wasn’t how it should’ve played out (how it was was rushed) because of how the show was abruptly cut short due to Cartoon Network
Me: I am fine
*Steven universe happens*
Also me: I am no longer fine
I just gotta say White Diamonds shoes and nails are somethin fierce
they look Greek Style ! ! ! ! !
Ikr?! GURL WHERE U GET DEM SHOES AND PEDICURE
Sofia Johnson Girl got her whole look going like who's her designer?
not really that scary at all. Now Dr Manhattan is a scary force to be reckoned with!
White Diamond comes off as the person who doesn't really care about anything and is willing to just let people go about their business, not really minding what happens.
White: Oh, you're back? Had fun? Okay, good talk! Bye!
Date Masamune Yea but she either Used her powers on pearl or Forced her to for like that
Date Masamune you are surely wrong... could you not sense the passive aggression? Literally her PEARL shut the gems up from celebrating....A PEARL?? This is an example of true fear
Date Masamune kind of like the queen of England.
She looks like a goddess, very stylish and regal compared to the other diamonds.
She just oozes "I am above you in every way, and you sir are a peasant"
Her voice sounds so light but with a sinister undertone, that's some great voice acting.
She's so beautifully scary she could probably hold a conversation with guests, shatter a gem in the most savage an horrific way an stay smiling and talking like nothing happend while her subordinates clean up the carnage and her guests are scared asf.
She is the epitome of a Queen bee, and queens don't play with the commoners, they rule over them.
Well said
I would say that she has an abusive mother vibe; I honestly think she believes all the terrible things she does is for the benefit of her gem children. Typical of a sociopath, she presents a warm open facade while being emotionally distant. Any dissent from her subordinates is met not only with physically violent retaliation, but also an even greater measure of psychological abuse. It's akin to saying 'look at what you made me do.' And the choice of voice actor is what gives it the sinister undertone you mentioned. It's like casting Florence Henderson from 'The Brady Bunch' to play Hannibal Lecter. The creep factor comes from knowing what the character has done and is capable of doing, and having to reconcile it with a voice that sounds like the epitome of motherly affection.
draco1811 True! I also read somewhere that in families with abusive parents, older siblings sometimes take on parental roles for the younger ones
She is *literally* an alien compared to the other gems. If Steven even tries to talk to her she'll either ignore him or just laugh in his face. Everything from her design to her personality makes for the most perfect villain. I can't wait to see her relationship with her Pearl be explored. It seems like her Pearl is her version of a stress toy she can abuse when she's angry.
She is Pink's exact opposite, even in gem alignment. I'm so excited to see more of this.
fallen_star_2319 alignment size age emotions exact opposite
When white diamond was speaking to steven it reminded me of those automated voice calls where it doesn’t hear you but its supposed to sound like its in a conversation but there never timed right...does that make sense?
CorvusCrow Yes she really does sound like a recording
CorvusCrow it definitely makes sense. Maybe she wasn't physically there. She never changed her position other than her mouth.
CorvusCrow I think exaclty the same
I think she was just intentionally being rude. Like she didn't want to actually talk. Like impatient and rude people in real life. They just cut you off.
CorvusCrow saaaaame
WHY ARE YOU YELLING
WHY AREN'T YOU YELLING
Ayelis I DONT KNOW
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
Abood 4DGamer BCS ITS WHITE DIAMOND
TMcKeon408 lol
She didn't seem like a sociopath exactly. Serenity before the storm. It means you keep calm for a bit until you completely flip out. It's like when you're so pissed you go calm for a few minutes and then completely lose it. That's what I was getting. She probably ushered Steven out of the room because he just arrived and then is about to go beat the hell out of Yellow and Blue Diamond. Also, remember the Cartoon Network bingo? There was a square that said: ''Gem gets shattered''. My bets are on White Pearl. It was strange that White wasn't moving at all and I know there is a fan theory that what we've seen of White was just a prerecorded message but I still don't know how to feel about that yet. I do think it's a bit early to gather a lot of White's personality but what I can tell is that something is very wrong with White mentally and emotionally. It's like she has been in denial or she actually knew Pink would come back.
Yeh.
White Diamond isn't human, how can her motives be sinister when we have no idea what happened?
I feel like she knew it all, I remember her saying to Steven who she assumes is still Pink, "Did you finally get it out of your system?"
But... she's creepy... that's all the proof I need.
I was thinking something similar. Blue said she hasnt left homeworld in eons i find that to be strange. Also she feels like a sociopath to me. Feiging emotion and expression when you dont really feel anything other than anger and rage and are violent and abusive sounds like a sociopath to me. But i do agree somethings not right with her she keeps talking about everyone else being hapoy to see pink but she never mentions what she thinks or feels about it
She's actually terrifying, the fact that she is smiling and calm, even after all that happened. And that her pearl(and her) seem so emotionless, it gives me chills :0
What if white diamond purposely created corruption to make pinks "little game" more interesting without the other diamonds knowing?
Why would she do that?
Sakib Rahman idk she crazy
Sakib Rahman plot
It’s plausible, in a way. White, after all, didn’t seem phased, shocked, or surprised that Pink was back, rather asking if it was all out of her system. Gems were even gathered out there to cheer for Steven. She probably knew the corruption would happen over Blue and Yellow as a result. Of course, I say this before we see what truly happens, naturally lol
That's actually a pretty smart conclusion everyone is like her game pieces pink thinks she's playing a game when in fact it's actually white diamond. White diamond is all powerful like a goddess so everyone below her are just being to use as game pieces to pass time to keep her entained as what a pearl is meant to do however hers can do no longer.
And I'm rambling again 😅
..
The diamonds 'blast' is what killed the dinosaurs
Omg... damn
I Mean White Diamond Is Pretty Much the Ultra Necrozma
in steven universe
Creeper 351 i love her shoe
Death battle?

Blue: Lunala
Pink: ??

*Plays ultra necrozma theme while watching wd clip*
*remember when this show was about cat ice cream and giant women?*
:/
spongebob clip master giant women ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Was much better back then
Jason Murray
No it wasn’t.
pepperidge farm remembers
Omg ikr kinda makes the 3$ episode that says "S1 EP1" at the beginning of the series look like a amature
Yeah, White is definitely the greatest villain of them all.
I mean her line "Did you get it all out of your system?" seriously sent chills down my spine.
Yes! finally, no one else was talking about that line.
White Diamond can not cure corruption. She is emotionally abusive and will only accept complete obedience. If she reforms a gem it can only be in her own image and that will only make them a zombie without will or intent. There’s a reason White’s pearl has the same voice as White instead of the other pearls.
She can't cure corruption. Only Yellow, Blue, and Pink can do that. But she CAN make what they do Permanent, and she can shine it like a light over an entire planet. With Steven's help, they can make a De-corrupting Light.
Ayelis yeah but we don’t know if she can make it permanent. She is a villain and will need to be convinced to even try, but we don’t know if she can be convinced. There is an evil in people with “good intentions” that makes it almost impossible for them to change their minds.
She can, they needed white only for the full corruption to go off, though I see white as a motherly diamond as she created pink, yellow, and blue.
*sips tea* oh how wrong you are
Well this has aged...
The passion and volume in his voice is giving me life. XD
sameee
What scared me was when garnet said, “Steven will be fine....” to Greg! Does that mean she saw everyone except Steven be killed/shattered, corrupted, or injured/cracked
Briana Burris me too. Or when WD asked if (s)he got everything out of his system 😱
Audrey T yea! Also WD’s cape looks like it had puppet strings! What if she’s a robot, or she’s a puppet with recorded responses to pinks return?!?!
Oh lord I didn't even think of that O.O
Briana Burris omg yeah 😱
That's a very large reach....
WHITE. GOD DAMN. DIAMOND.
The only way to refer to her from now on
Right when he said that I saw this comment..
PERFECTLY TIMED
KetchupPuppy 12 😂
your yelling is the most appealing thing in this video
Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend.
She is a diva, she sparkles like a star...White Diamond is Marilyn Monroe, confirmed.
All she is missing is the signature mole on the cheek.
Shine Bright like a Diamond.
OH MY GOD HAHAHA YOU'RE THE BEST
Lol
So Teen Titans Go foreshadowed white diamond? Nah.
Actually, Diamonds reflect not shine!
@Neko Sun In white's case.. She shines.
When White Pearl spoke to Blue and Yellow and said "Only Pink Diamond's presence is necessary" she sounded more like
"bish u heard me sayin *blue, yellow and pink* ?? shut the fucc up and lemme do what i need to do u a-holes"
Livia Fernandes 😂😂
“I mean, unless she gets redeemed or...”
Well.
Did anyone notice in the episode "Legs From Here To Home World" that Greg asks Garnet, "Garnet should I be worried?" To which he gets a reply of, "(Steven) will be fine." Just the way she says this bothers me and I'm curious if it's foreshadowing. She says Steven and pauses for a second, will be fine as she looks down. Then it's just played off as she ask's Greg to "water" Cat-Steven for her while shes gone. I wonder if she saw anything with her future vision. I just hope nothing bad happens to the Crystal Gems .
Dusklynn the way she asked Greg to take care of cat Steven makes me think that something bad will happen to Garnet...god I hope not
Something WILL happen.
(\_{oOo}_/) NUUU NOT STEVEN NUUUU NOT GARNET
Remember that the cat is also named Steven. She hands Steven to Greg right after she said that. Maybe she was talking about the cat just to make Greg feel more at ease.
makes it seem like STEVEN will be fine but not EVERYONE will be :((
Vox is literally screaming lol.
guinealover6674 !!! Same tho
The PLANET was SPLITINTOPIECES!!!!!!!
White Diamond:
_The entire show was just a little scare:_
*_Change My Mind_*
Wut
Lol good one
I can't wait to see what they do with White Diamond in the later episodes.
Just imagine that her shoes are real gemstones omg
Lars of The Stars Omg I’m just imagining that her shoes are made of the all the gems she’s shattered.......
Gracelynn H omg lol fr tho I thought she looked like a tiger when they first showed her legs
Gracelynn H
D:
Oh God...
White Diamond omg.. I'm so glad other Diamonds are not like this creepy giant woman of space and her Pearl too XD
My mom over heard me watching the episode and she said that white sounds ‘abusive’
That's exactly what I got! She acts like a dysfunctional mother; violent and abusive to her older children, and dismissive and infantilizing of her younger child.
*SEVERE HEADPHONE USER WARNING*
Jesus Denmark too bad that i saw this comment late
I'm not even wearing headphones and my ears hurt ;-;
You saved my life thank you
Am I the only one who noticed that she doesn’t move like she is a statue and yellow said she hasn’t left home world do you think maybe she can’t move cos she is holding home world together???
It's very likely. And I think Steven can help her out with that by bubbling the planet.
Ayelis maybe but who would really want a bubbled home world?
Yea, theres tons of gems
HHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM...
I also think that Steven is white diamond's only weakness. I mean think about it, they said that white was not like any other gem but neither is Steven. Normal stuff that effects gems does not effect Steven. So I think that while white is extremely powerful Steven will be her downfall...
Edit: I have never got this much attention and I love the feedback.
I’ve been there joking along these lines, like how Pink Diamond’s quarters might be physically barring for gems, like the brigs, and Steven is largely immune to them.
Connie didn’t react to Blue’s Aura, and Steven was the only one crying with her in That Will Be All (Not Greg), so his humanity likely makes him affectable but resistant, at least.
Maybe only slightly resistant to power like White Diamond’s. Maybe the most resistant, since his body is basically self-healing.
Rylan Doyle But did you see her heels!? She can just stomp him like Yellow did
Ehhhh I hope not I'm kinda rooting for Steven to lose
Actually what would be cool is if her power halfway works on him so his the gem side of him loses all emotion. Then he would have to fight himself while also fighting White!
Oh, she's definitely not above this. She may be an expert at putting on the whole "calm" act but I can tell just by her voice and the subtle movement of her eyes that she is beyond furious and if I had to use a word to describe her, I would use the same one that many in this fandom have said: sociopath
yackachoo either that or she prefers professionalism over anger
Agreeeee
Cant reason with a sociopath. (Almost, real life is different). So like perfect antagonist theory support.
Visibly emotionless.
I would've chosen the word mother
White Diamond was pretty passive aggressive
Wils The Limit
... THANK YOU!!
That’s my exact thought
White diamond : greatest villain(unless she gets redeemed)
She gets redeemed
Me : ha irony
I think White Diamond was speaking like that because she was SUPER MAD. Because some people speak like that when they are UPSET. Irl
An interesting twist is White actually agreeing happily to help restore the corrupted gems on Earth...just so Pink (Steven) can continue with the colony development as intended. Steven, obviously, rejects this and THAT'S when White gets angry, explains how she knew everything was just a game but now it's time to 'grow up'. Then the pu pu platter hits the wind generating machine. Heck, she might even offer to restore the shards of the cluster back into their original gem forms if Pink just gets back to work. How could Steven say no to that?
Liked for “pu pu platter hit the wind generating machine”
MrStrikecentral that would be Stevens hardest decision lose the hope of healing corrupted gems and friends *OR* Have them saved but lose all freedom that pink/rose were fighting for, that would make an awesome story arc
Now that is a plot to watch
Now that's some Life is Strange emotional dilema.
Don't forgot if he does finish colonization then all humans would die so either gems lives or human lives.
White diamond be T posing
Jaden Thompson lol
OM FUCKING G I JUST REALIZED THAT LOL
Best comment but, also gave me the plague
Gotta assert your Dominance on those other Diamonds
Despaa- *TPO S E*
The whole video is a mood I want to be bismuth and scream into lava
Emily Robertson
Me too honestly. On a different note, white diamond reminds me of a giant light bulb, just GLOWING
I like White Diamond's shoes..
Lolz😂😂😂😂
Cloud Thief its sandals though😂😂😂
Clarence Tempest they’re heels.
Cloud Thief i dont😂
They're awesome
Pink Blue and Yellow are the Emotions White couldn't deal with so she split her self to rid her self of their weaknesses. The development within this story line will be way too good! on that note if you take Yellow and Blue which makes green and added Pink you get a sorta off tone brown coloring add white to that and its a murky dark diamond that of the lightly tented scale then you have a near colorless diamond with the next on the scale being the totally Colorless diamond Which is what we are dealing with in Whites case.
Uchiha Madara that sounds like fmab
That actually makes a lot of sense. In her telling of Roses story, garnet said the diamonds "unique in their flawlessness" which always confused me because blue and yellow are obviously very flawed. If your theory is true then blue yellow and pink ARE the flaws and white tried to make herself flawless.
Maybe this can only be resolved by all of the diamonds re-fusing into one again.
RH102 that and Soul Eater
Kelley Johnson Rip Steven lol
So is Pink Diamond a manifestation of her impulses and attachment to her creations? If she is the mother of all gems, maybe she viewed her love for her children as a weakness and purged herself of love itself. But then again, why would she be so understanding with Steven...?
I believe White Diamonds 'glow' isn't due to her being a star, but because they are in her ship! As Steven is in the Pink Diamond Ship his legs are glowing , and the same goes for White! You'll see that her glow comes from ONLY her upper body, and her feet dont actually glow at all, and that her legs seem faintly glowing because its shining down from her head. If she was a Star her entire body would glow including her toes haha! Also in Rebecca Sugars drawings she has a more visible gem and her eyes are darker, which is probably what she looks like when shes out of her ship!
Gimp Tigger I personally feel like she also glows but maybe not as much as when she's in her ship.
Mooyeah that's a very high possibility as well! I'm so excited to see what's in store tbh but I dont support that concept of her glow being that's shes a star
Genius that makes so much sense when you think of it. Why did I think of it. This also helps prove my theory that the structure white diamond is in is her ship. And that all the diamonds body part ships can connect or “fuse” into one
Gimp Tigger dang, you're probably right
O h .
*THE PLANET*
*IS SPLIT INTO PIECES*
*THE ENTIRE DAMN PLANET*
*AAAAAAAAAAAA-*
but on a lighter note, blue is still Best Girl, so
LMFAO dude chill 😂😂
The SuperAnina you must be new here
The SuperAnina ikr 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The SuperAnina right!😂
I have a theory about White right now. White tells Steven "Did you get it out of your system?" and acted so calmly. White knew everything. She knew about Pink being Rose and everything in the rebellion. She just saw it as a tantrum, like a teenage rebellion. So she let Pink think everything was going according to her plan. She had to keep Yellow and Blue out of the loop so they wouldn't go get her. That would explain why there's a giant crowd ready to greet their return. It would also add a reason for Yellow and Blue to join the crystal gems against White.
Crafting Menace that's the one thing that bothers me the most. She knew all
She's like a server to a degree...connected to all...always listening
If she did know the entire time that would definitely make her the ultimate villain, letting Blue and Yellow suffer as much as they did with the loss of Pink.
My mind ---->💥💥💥💥
Maybe white diamond has the ability to see the future
She sounds like she's actually extremely angry. keeping all that anger bubbled up inside of her. Terrifying.
Blue diamonds says White Diamond hasn’t left Homeworld for “Eons” which basically means 1 Billion years
So basically White Diamond is a couple BILLION Years old
So yeah
SHE IS OLD AF HOLY
Angel Lucas she doesn’t look that bad despite her age lol
Angel Lucas The same with the off colors fluorite said eons too lol gems seem to be already prettt ancient
marcelo Chocano when did she say Eons? Gotta go rewatch that again if she did say it
How did she corrupt the gems on Earth if she was on homeworld the whole time?
Well she had to be at earth to stop the Rebellion right?
The reason White feels intimidating as she is, is because of the way she speaks and how passive aggressive she comes off as. It even feels like she knows everything that happened with Pink judging by the way she reacted to Steven
She feels oddly similar to someone like Monika in that vein, someone who acts friendly and warm but you know there's more to them than that...
Nah. It's cuz she's T-Posing, she's asserting her dominance.
Kenpachi Ramasama well....that too XD
Except in the end, Monika was a pretty decent girl corrupted by her programming as president and knowledge that nothing in her world was real. White has none of those excuses. She's not programmed to act the way she does. She just does it because it suits her.
Bronson Ferrigno I agree, that's one of the reasons why I like Monika honestly XD
However, I wouldn't be surprised if White had redeeming qualities to her, this is Steven Universe after all. The show Rebecca Sugar claimed had no "villains" hehe
noname144able *JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA JUST MONIKA*
I have a theory that the white diamond we see is not actually her appearance. I theorize that she is not pristine but in fact dying and broken, like her planet, like her pearl. Not only is the white diamond we see standing stoke still but it sounds like she's running a recorded message.
It's just a hunch but I'd love to hear what you think about it. Honest is best.
Nah, she’s mad as fuck and is T Posing to assert her dominance.
Might be like our pearl, really good at compartmentalizing.
I think her power is to just make things permanent, her pearl is permanently scarred (something which shouldn't be possible without messing with the gem's body formation "software"
She is like the admin of the game, you can try to revert things but it aint permanent without her power to let it be
White Diamond’s cape is literally the fabric of space
Lols fabric. And over here making references to Kill La Kill in my mind.
Where can i get this fabric
Gabriel Schroeder omg
FABRIC of space
I get it
Onion is white diamond
I was so sleepy when i started watching the video BUT NOW im awake after all the yelling
Lui theSinner Same
Same here
Datsushi chan yep
Her gucci diamond flip flops ver. 👏
f duff its Heels
They look more like Versace heels than Gucci
Then she about to walk to the bus stop
The dramatic yelling in this video was priceless to me, like "NO, THE *PLANET* IS SPLIT INTO _PIECES!!!!!!!!_ WHO, DID THIS?" made me start cracking up because of the way he said it, and that wasn't the only moment I found amusing. The dramatic emphasis throughout the video was just great haha
White Diamond sounds like she’s stating a prerecorded message.
TheAlmightyCastform lmaooo omg she really does tho!!
TheAlmightyCastform and she doesnt say anything about stevens new form
TheAlmightyCastform lol omg that’s exactly what I said. Like an answering machine.
Lmao right like one of them automated messages
I know, right? That's what I initially thought when I first heard her.
I would love to see Steven 'getting' a new Pink Pearl, and White would say something like "Oh, Starlight, where is your Pearl? Don't worry, I have made a new one just for you!" *clap clap* ^a new pink pearl walks out^ "My Diamonds." *does little hand thingy* And Steven tries to convince this new Pearl that she can do whatever she wants and tries to take her back to Earth
If he had a pearl at all it would most likely be our pearl. You can kinda notice that she's acting like his Pearl when they were in the ship
Matthewnugget Yeah,true.
Matthewnugget our pearl
Our pearl
*OUR PEARL*
USRR anthenam plays
AGREED
Awesome Randomness if the crewniverse does that I will scream
She's T posing to assert her dominance XD
Vanessa Tador yup xD
neemo trash whoops i guess it was bound to be commented
"Welcome to my planet, bitch!"
Omfg you don't know how much I reference that meme. I T-pose all the time
Interesting fact: White Diamond and White Pearl have the same voice actress.
Demented Duskull MIND CONTROL
No. NO. NOOOO.
SHE SPEAKS IN THAT ANGRY CALM VOICE MOTHERS TALK WITH.
S B Oh yeah
I feel like
YELLOW : PHYSICAL STATE
BLUE : EMOTIONAL STATE
PINK : MENTAL STATE
WHITE : PERMANENT EFFECT
Fozzie Charlie i think white holds the soul.
Slifer Streaming possible actually, but what makes a soul?
White-mind
Yellow-body
Blue-soul
Pink-heart
I was thinking yellow is physical, blue is emotional, white is conscious mind, and pink is subconscious to unconscious mind. (Taking into account his ability to connect to both people and gems in their dreams)
I think white is the purification effect that actually purges the corruption itself
Who is more creepy?
Onion or White Diamon

yes
WD.
Onion has friends and feelings.
White pearl.
Holy crap, White Diamond is so intimidating that the tricking ROUNDTABLE is shocked. °-°`
Theory. White Diamond has been spying on Steven the entire time through Onion's eyes.
😂 good one what if
Oh shit-
Just imagine!!
Trust me, I definitely can imagine it LOL.
Yeah a lot of people think that but I just don't think it's true. Onion has nothing to do with the ultimate plot of this show. He's just a weirdo. Lmao
I think she’s all calm and distant because she just let out her anger on the planet
Nick's Summer Vlogs idk I feel like homeworld is at war right now with an alien race. Like why would pink and blue diamond come out of nowhere for the cluster. It looked like they were in a rush
Imani Culver I see where you’re coming from but I think it’s too far fetched. Power is power an yellow has had enough with earth. She came to get the cluster and blue prioritized on pinks “killer”
I felt how passive aggressive white diamond was.
i loved this video very muchh his enthusiasm has me energized
