Just a theory Ive seen going around, bc her outfit and gem placement makes me wonder…
Im predicting WD is straight up evil, and has something to do with her Pearl’s scarring.
Please, god forbid, dont tag as any kinda ship name between them! The imagery itself is implied abuse – this is a dark theory, not something that should romanticized. Just a disclaimer…
she is the first diamond, and gems–diamonds included–are made. then what the hell made her? someone? no one? would she even be a gem?
“she’s not like us. she isn’t even like them!” a direct confirmation. she isn’t like gems, and she isn’t like the diamonds, then what IS she like?
she’s a literal celestial light and/or pure burning energy–gems have concentrated physical forms, and yes, they are made of light–but it’s light that is contained and regulated. white diamond seems like she is out of control, almost like there’s too much of her for any other being to handle–and the scope of her power seems as if, either accidentally or purposefully, it’s literally torn homeworld apart.
again, she isn’t like a gem, and gems come from the ground–diamonds too. she probably didn’t emerge from a planet like every other gem. where else could she have come from? ah yes, space.
I’ve gotta say, whatever your opinion of the direction SU is taking, you have to admit the writing is amazing when every single person who’s been in an abusive relationship instantly felt recognition if not borderline triggering from hearing White Diamond’s literal less than 30 seconds of talking, and almost everyone who hasn’t been in a relationship like that barely realizes there’s anything wrong. everything else about the show aside, they got those little details down perfectly
Since everything in this show is foreshadowing I’m going to take a bold guess and say that white diamond is going to attempt to remove Stevens gem and Force pink diamond to reform.
Because it’s clear White was ignoring steven, and most likely talking to his gem.
