“Right? And imagine–when you start loving yourself, then you can help others love themselves too! You can’t always teach them how to do that, but the fact you are able to guide them and support them on their own journey…that sort of thing is amazing, isn’t it? Being together and growing together everyday, you can’t ever replace memories like that. It’s those moments where love truly flourishes.”
”Yeah!” He stopped himself from pointing out it was just like her and Dad.
“Some people say you can’t love someone until you learn to love yourself, but I don’t think that’s right. You can have tons of doubt and internal conflict… but then when you look at that person, all those bad feelings just go away, and what you feel for them is just… good. You can totally love someone even if you don’t love yourself!”
It was amazing to her how wise Steven was. The things he said reminded her of Greg’s insights. She was overwhelmed with love and pride that Steven was her son.
“I’m so glad you understand that Steven. It’s true, all of it. It took me a long time to realize that too, actually. For so very long, I sort of thought love was a game or a joke, just something to pass the time. Maybe for some people, it’s still like that but...well, it isn’t for me. Even after arriving here with Pearl and meeting Garnet, I still didn’t really understand until...”
Her voice trails off, thinking about Greg for a brief moment before shaking her head, the smile on her face lowered just a little bit.
“I’m sure you’ve heard that story a million times by now! In any case: I’m glad that your time with everyone has taught you some invaluable lessons. Love is a beautiful, fantastic feeling. Never lose sight of it--towards yourself or towards others.”

Loving others, loving yourself– so long as you have that capacity to care for other beings, it doesn’t matter who receives it, does it?”
“Whoa…”
Psychedelic!
“Yeah, loving others can help you learn to love yourself! When they see something amazing in you, you start to see it too!”

TELL US YOUR FAVORITE QUOTES FROM YOUR CHARACTER. GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHO THEY ARE BY FIVE THINGS THEY’VE SAID.
Isn't it remarkable, Steven? This world is full of so many possibilities. Each living thing has an entirely unique experience. The sights they see, the sounds they hear. The lives they live are so complicated... and so simple. I can't wait for you to join them.
I'm... not a real person. I thought... haven't we... is this not how it works?
[ Greg: I barely know you.] That's a good thing.
All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth...none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're taking life, and leaving nothing behind.
Fight for life on the planet Earth. Defend all human beings, even the ones you don't understand. Believe in love that is out of anyone's control. And then risk everything for it!

❀ — 𝒲𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝒾𝓉 𝒷𝑒 𝒷𝑒𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒾𝒻 𝓈𝒽𝑒 𝒽𝒶𝒹𝓃'𝓉 𝒶𝓅𝓅𝑒𝒶𝓇𝑒𝒹 𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒? Over the last week or so, that’st the conclusion Rose came up with. With the truth out in the open, her presence here continued to hurt those once closest to her. For the better part of her time, she decided to keep her distance, not wanting to intentionally hurt someone by being around. Of course, that was unavoidable wasn’t it? She was here now, she would be here until whatever forces beyond her control deemed her presence here unnecessary and send her off again, as it has happened many times before.
This time, she didn’t have anywhere to run and quite frankly? Rose didn’t see a reason to. Right now, all she wanted was to stop hurting others, if she could help it. Whether or not she could fix it, well, that was up to the others.
So, when Garnet’s voice rang out before her, Rose steadied herself, her expression remaining neutral. Happy as she was to reunite with her old friend, she doubted the other felt the same way. Rightfully so, too.
“You know how terrible I am at jokes Garnet.”
Her voice is a usual calm, like clear skies after a storm. She raises her gaze, looking directly at her long time companion, admiring everything she’s known of her and her new look–rings, was it? Her heart swelled in joy and guilt. Well, no time like the present to see how the other was fairing.
“I’m here. I’m… I’m glad to see you.” She wants to say more, wants to make her genuine feelings known but she doesn’t want to get her hopes up, knowing all the pain she’s caused her in her absence. If the other chooses to voice her frustrations, Rose doesn’t want to leave any room to make it about what she wants. “…whatever you’d like to say, please. I’d like to hear it. Judging from what Steven’s told me and Pearl– well. Where would you like to start?”
At the very least, Rose knew what was coming. Garnet didn’t know how to feel about it. On one hand, she knew she was furious. She didn’t know if it was Ruby or Sapphire, but one of them didn’t want to even have this conversation. Want to even see Rose right now. But at the same time, the other was keeping her feet planted firm. In any other moment, Garnet would have unfused from the disagreement.
She couldn’t here.
So all she could do was wave her hands in front of her in quick circles, trying to come up with words. Trying to keep any emotion pinned down long enough to voice more than a couple words at a time. When she did, tears were showing at the very edge of the glasses hiding her eyes.
Garnet was hurt, that much was the truth.
“Not once!” She began, hands shaking in rage. “Not a single future! Not a single one where you told us the truth! You had thousands of years after the war to tell us but you didn’t!” Garnet hadn’t been sure if she could get the words out, but now that she started, she wasn’t sure if she could actually stop herself.
“What did you even want?! To be equal with the other Gems? That can’t be it! You put yourself above us all, put yourself in power without ever once asking if that’s what we wanted!” The tears were flowing freely, three streams converging as she squeezes her hands against her head– trying desperately to get the right words.
“You never even trusted us enough! After your lies left so many of our friends dead! Not in any of the thousands of years we spent having to.. having to fight them did you once consider telling us, did you?! What were we to you, Rose?
What were any of the Crystal Gems to you?!”
Her voice had risen to what was almost a scream. So uncharacteristic of the stoic fusion. Garnet couldn’t help it. She couldn’t defuse, leaving so many thoughts and emotions of the two gems clashing together with her own. She couldn’t be calm. Not when so much was bubbling to the surface.
❀ — 𝐼𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝑒 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝑒𝒸𝓉𝑒𝒹. She was having the same conversation with many of her old companions but each worded in their own, different ways. First from Pearl, then Ruby, and now Garnet. It was important for them to get their feelings out--thousands upon thousands of years of time together and Rose had kept it all hidden away in her gem. Gaining their trust, being alongside them, having a purpose and value she could only dream of as Pink.
Garnet laid her frustration, her anger, her grieving heart at her and even then, all Rose wanted to do was comfort her, to reassure her that things would be better. That comfort, however, would not suffice here or now. This was what Rose needed to confront now that it was all out in the open-- not just for her own sake, but for the sake of those she loved and cherished the most.
Answering Garnet’s question wasn’t an easy one. It was true she didn’t see them as ‘family’ at first. There was no such thing as families back on Homeworld. She saw gems and fusions who wanted to break away from the Diamonds. She saw a colony she wanted to free, a beautiful, mesmerizing world that was never one thing any given moment. What she saw with Pearl, she wanted everyone to see and appreciate, to live on Earth and never again suffer under the Diamond Authority. That all changed as the rebellion wore on, hundreds of years, thousands of years and then, the shattering. She couldn’t predict that was how the Diamonds would react. She thought, at worst, they would just send more gems to fight. What they had done to her friends, to those in her court--
Even recalling it now made Rose tense up. The things she carried all on her own was her burden to bear. Even now, it was selfish of her to remember when this moment wasn’t about her. She had to remember that as she brings herself to answer.
“You were all my comrades and dearest friends. The first real friends I had.”
It’s short but true in her heart. In the end, that’s what they became to her, even those she had lost. Even those who were gone for the sake of their “freedom”.
“I did what I thought was right. I see now, after all this time, it was wrong, but I wasn’t going to let the Diamonds win. They wouldn’t listen to me as Pink, so I came up with the only way they would: by taking one of their own. I just wanted to save the Earth, this place where all of us was able to live freely. If I knew they would’ve done that I--”
Her fists curl tightly into a ball before releasing them, sighing deeply before shaking her head.
“...but it’s said and done. I’ll never forgive myself for what happened to the others. I am so truly sorry for what happened to them. I wish I thought of another way, but because of my anger, I chose an option that hurt everyone. That hurt you.”
had to play around with icons one last time. this should be it for now! time for regularly scheduled replies...
A small theory about why Pink left Spinel (related to her character)
many of her lines mentions about how much she hated her past-herself-
(about how she talks to Pearl that she wants to forget all of her life before Rose, or telling Greg that it’s good to not know much of her, etc..)
and Spinel has a lot in common with her…. maybe Pink saw herself through Spinel, a part of herself she always wanted to forget and destroy….
When you’re gone, goodbye, so long, farewell…
DANG I was speechless after those episodes!!
Please don’t ever stop!
