Okay okay okay I know what you’re thinking.
It is 2018 Hailey, why the heck are you talking
about this theory!
Well, here at Cartoon Universe we try to explore
many possibilities, even if we don’t always
believe they are the definitive truth.
With that being said, today let’s revisit
the theory that Rose is Pink Diamond!
*boos*
Hey, just hear me out!
There is a bit more to talk about now with
the introduction of Pink Diamond, and I still
think this is a fun topic to talk about since
there is evidence.
Even though my opinion on this theory still
sees it as unlikely to happen, I am going
to talk in a viewpoint that sees it as true
until towards the end of the video where I
will also give some counter evidence.
So let’s take a look at this new diamond,
shall we?
From the few seconds of actual footage of
pink diamond that we got, she appears quite
child-like.
She even has frills near her legs that remind
me of a tutu!
She appears young and inexperienced- very
different from what many of us were expecting.
This argument rose out of the ashes not completely
because of how this diamond looks.
While there is something about her that I
will point out later, it mainly has to do
with the fact that we got to see her at all
in the first place, and it wasn’t through
another character telling Steven a story.
It was, as everyone saw that watched Jungle
Moon, that Stevonnie was able to have a dream
that also functioned as a flashback.
Connie’s mother doubled as Yellow Diamond.
And the one playing Pink Diamond was none
other than Stevonnie.
This happened to work really well and gives
a good picture of how the relationship between
these two diamonds was.
But as we know Stevonnie is a fusion between
a human and a Rose Quartz gem.
So, to see that Stevonnie, who is technically
a Rose Quartz, took the role of Pink Dimaond
in this dream is quite interesting.
And thinking about the implications of Rose
Quartz being Pink Diamond in some ways gives
a good explanation as to why Stevonnie was
even able to have this dream at all.
What we saw with Blue Diamond and Malachite
wasn’t like this.
This was something quite different, as I mentioned
in a previous theory video.
If Rose Quartz had this connection to Pink
Diamond then it is a lot more plausible that
Stevonnie was able to have this sort of dream
and see a character that neither Connie nor
Steven have ever met.
This brings up the question if there would
possibly be a way for Steven to see Rose’s
memories or if this was a sign that possibly
he could.
But the thing is, Rose Quartz was not there
in that flashback scene.
Only Pink and Yellow Diamond were there.
So unless just being in the Diamond Base was
enough to cause this dream, one other possibility
I went over was that Steven has a bigger connection
to Pink Diamond than he knows.
And with that is always the chance that he
is in fact Pink Diamond.
I didn’t mention that in the previous Pink
Diamond video of mine since I was saving it
for this one!
We shall see if the show ever gets around
to explaining that, or if it was just a bit
of a new type of Steven’s dreaming powers
that replaced diamonds with humans for the
most part because Connie was there.
So, as I mentioned before the whole Stevonnie
playing PD’s role made a lot of people start
thinking about this theory again.
But there’s actually a few more new things
to point out based on Pink Diamond’s physical
appearance.
First off is her color scheme.
I saw a few talk about this although the first
that I saw was anglosaxonbrat on tumblr.
So, does her coloration seem familiar to you
guys at all?
No?
How about now?
Yep, both Lion and Lars, two resurrected beings,
have the same color scheme as Pink Diamond.
This could just be due to the fact that Rose
Quartz gems were created by Pink Diamond so
it’s another way to showcase this.
Or it could a coincidence and this combination
of two pinks just looks really nice.
But I wouldn’t put it past the crew to do
something like this, especially when it comes
to color schemes.
This could even lead to the possibility she
was already revived in some way at that time,
as her gem points upwards unlike the other
diamonds, so maybe she had already been resurrected
prior to her shattering and she looked like
the form we saw in Jungle Moon…
But now I’m just rambling on, so let’s
continue.
Another interesting feature about her design
is her gem, as I just mentioned.
Her gem is an actual cut of a real-life diamond,
rather than just being diamond shaped like
the other two we have seen thus far in the
series.
The gem is also facing sideways, so we can
see the full length of the gem.
So this makes PD extremely unique, unless
of course WD is also like this.
But that is yet to be seen.
However, when you change the viewing angle,
something amazing happens.
So here’s the view the gem starts off on.
Now let’s change that… and….
It now looks like this.
That’s it.
Theory confirmed.
Okay, maybe not quite.
But this is really interesting, and there
has to be some reasoning behind this design
choice.
Now normally we could say that Rose Quartz
gems do not look like this.
As we saw in That Will Be All, while Rose
Quartz gems do have a six-sided cut on the
top, they don’t have the point, which is
called a pavilion.
However we have a tiny bit of reason to suspect
that our Rose Quartz may be different from
the rest.
In some livestreams we have seen members of
the crew wear a shirt that has all the gemstones
of the Crystal Gems.
And all the gems are represented, even Rose
Quartz.
However, it appears her gem has a pavilion!
Now since we know what Pink Diamond’s gem
looks like, I really wonder if that was intentional
or not.
Or it was something they planned on in the
beginning but they decided to change the Rose
Quartz gem design later.
But we haven’t seen Steven’s entire gem
in the show itself, so there’s no way to
tell if it still looks like that at this point.
Going with that, I have had many people point
out that there is a gem in the burning room
that looks a bit like Pink Diamonds!
The possibility that she is bubbled there
is surely an exciting one.
However, it is a bit more likely that the
crew just put a bunch of random gems there
with a variety of different cuts.
Lastly is her size, which is extremely tiny
for a diamond.
She seemed to be only a bit taller than Stevonnie
as shown by the crack on the glass at the
Diamond Base.
Pink Diamond is just vastly different than
the other diamonds, and that raises suspicion.
So just from what we saw of Pink Diamond in
Jungle Moon, a lot of people are starting
to once again think about this theory.
But when I last made a theory video about
this, we knew so much less about gems and
Rose Quartz was a pretty decent candidate.
Mostly since she was pretty tall, had a pink
gem that was in the shape of what a real life
diamond looked like, and was very mysterious.
There has been a lot to contradict this claim
since, mostly because we know what Yellow
and Blue Diamond look like, and it is nothing
like RQ.
And Pink Diamond does look like a diamond,
disregarding her tiny size and strange gem
shape.
But there is something special about her.
There has to be, whether it be her personality
towards organic life or a power she has.
She was told she was one of only four diamonds,
the most powerful and revered of all gems.
Yet she was treated like a child by those
that were supposed to be her equals.
And this theory is one of the ways that people
attempt to explain her differences.
She may be another gem altogether, or was
never truly a diamond, or perhaps even something
else.
It’s possible that we saw Pink Diamond only
because Steven is a Rose Quartz, as I have
explained.
Something interesting some people were pointing
out was the fact that PD kind of sounded like
Amethyst.
This may have been a coincidence.
But I have noticed that for the most part,
diamonds make their gems in their image, or
well, they have common themes among them that
correlate to their diamond.
Besides color, there is the way they dress
and often times even the temperament of the
diamond is reflected in the gems they create.
For the clothing part, at least this was the
case with Pink Diamond's gems before era 2
began.
And with that it appears that Amethyst's hair
style from when Rose first met Greg looks
quite similar to PD's.
Just wanted to throw that out there because
there have been a few mentions of this.
I love the little details the crew puts into
the show.
It makes this cartoon much more enjoyable
because there is so much to find.
But that wraps up pretty much all I have to
talk about for this video.
So after everything that I have said, do you
think this is a crack theory that is just
perpetuated by those that don't want to let
this idea go, or is it still a legitimate
theory?

Their art is amazing, and I encourage you
