Citizens of beach city: hey Steven who are these giants and why are you hanging out with them after they attacked us
Steven: oh these are my new moms who also were technically my moms before any of my other moms. But that was back when I was my mom so I dunno if it counts
Little headcanon that larger gems take much longer to reform and emotions can also affect time. I figured pink might have done something a little childish/reckless if she did ever loose her form and so the shame/guilt might have increased the time it took her to reform.
Half of me: Blue and Yellow are going to have to confront eons worth of sins, war crimes, prejudice, the creation and enforcement of biological castes, the removal and dismantling of the very notion of consent, their part in upholding the lies that gems are solitary, unchanging, incapable of love or companionship, downplaying gems own physical abilities leading to entire swaths of gem culture untapped, and that’s not even mentioning the eugenics, use of unconventional (by gem standards) weaponry, the corruption weapon. They’re going to have to face the fact that they won’t be able to atone for all of that (especially re: Pearl) even if it turns out that the theory that White Diamond outranks all other diamonds in terms of superiority and my personal theory that Blue and Yellow are off-color diamonds like Pink was is true and that I’m actually spot on about Blue and Yellow not knowing the full extent of the corruption weapon’s effects on gems (as implied by Blue and Yellow thinking that they’d simply killed all the gems on Earth instead of corrupting them). There’s just no way they’re going to get all of the Crystal Gems to trust them just like that, at the very least not without a big rant from Pearl about how they could have just listened to Pink 5700 years ago instead of ignoring her and continuing to expand their genocidal colonialist empire.
