I’m too tired to do anything today but

@armourose yes you know that’s exactly what she’s doing HGJFKDHJFKDHFJKDJFJ

It’s nearly quaint, to be thanked like this. Truth be told, it’s been very difficult for White -- ever since colonization ended, to see anyone as more than a tool for being used. This especially extends to the rubbery gem before her. Made as a playmate, something she quickly put together and forgot about. And now here she was, different...changed, thanking her?

Something of it seemed almost.....perverse. Or wrong. Who is she, to receive those thanks? She knows it’s not that complicated, it’s simply the chance to be loved. Something Spinel had craved for years, something White - who sorely missed Pink - was willing to devote herself to.

She nudges a finger affectionately against Spinel’s cheek as she sighs, giving a soft but sad sort of smile.

“You shouldn’t give me too much credit, dear...you’ve deserved better for far longer than this. My only hope is that I can mend some of the bruises.”

“Believe what you will, about the nature of what’s just and unjust, Starlight. Though do consider what you’ve just said, a bit deeply.” She offers. Nails tap nigh casually on the floor below, as if she’s pondering what to say next. Though she doesn’t need to ponder. She’s already fully aware of her train of thought. It’s almost as if she’s building anticipation rather than attempting to recall herself.

“Was it not you as well that launched a Ruby Soldier into the far reaches of space? Seems a bit harsh, that...” That’s hypocritical of her. She knows that. It doesn’t matter. It’s not designed to favor herself, it’s designed to hurt Pink. 

“Abide or don’t abide by me all you like...but are there not things you yourself are guilty of that could be described, too, as evil? Should that be the case?”

Easily the most difficult prejudiced tendency to break White out of would be her tendency to commodify others. As the long self-proclaimed (and believed to be) completely flawless, highest being – White considers herself as naturally superior to everyone other than herself. Even Yellow and Blue, who are giants in their own right on Homeworld, still defer almost instinctively to White’s expectations, which means their own opinions are oft subject to being overruled by her final judgement. For someone like that, who puts themselves on such a high pedestal, they lose the ability to empathize with and treat the people around them as anything other than a tool or a means to an end.

In that sense, it’s difficult for White to view any person or creature with a sense of understanding about their life or autonomy. In an almost terrifyingly infantile way, White doesn’t quite understand death, or at least not the severity of it. She so regularly disposes of people whose wills she’s violated that she’s forgotten to consider the person inside who dies when death comes to them.

In a sense, I’d say this is probably also why she draws so heavily inward when Pink “dies”. It’s an odd shock to the system, to have someone a bit more noticeable in your peripheral vision disappear when that’s only ever happened to people you treat like utensils and not somewhat like family.

Anyway White doesn’t understand the ramifications of death, which also means that she won’t think twice about killing people for the most part because she just doesn’t really get it or care.

Mercy is an optimistic way of describing it.

In truth, it was more like dismissal. It was a kindness, to allow Pink to come back home with such a ridiculous shape and ridiculous form and not shatter her on the spot. Reconstruct from where she’d begun. Put the whole thing behind them.

For the emotional benefit of Yellow and Blue, she’d restrained herself. Told herself she’d allow Pink the chance to submit to her good-will, if only she were smart enough not to screw it up again.

But that proposition seemed to be falling apart rather hastily. Maybe even more-so than she had expected. Her expression doesn’t compromise, her same glamorous smile undisturbed. Brow raises inquisitively.

“Bold words, Starlight. Come to reckon with me, this way? I’m afraid you’ll find yourself quickly out of options in that case. If you were to throw yourself at the heel of such mercy, you’d find things would go very leisurely for you...If not? I can’t exactly promise comfort.”

It’s...odd. Resigning herself to the explanation she’d been offered. Shavings of Pink’s gem, given new life upon their arrival? It seemed almost too good to be true. But with it came a sense of unease or discomfort, that had similarly followed White the longer she had been here, celebrating with everyone.

A sense that she’s unsure if she deserves this opportunity.

As it was, the Pink she knew -- the Pink that White had raised up had grown to be fearful and resentful of her. She hadn’t realized it before, but she did now. She knew all too well what her stringent failures had given birth to. Abuse. Neglect. The War. All things that could have been avoided if she’d stepped outside of her own head, for even a moment.

Now, what remains is simply a mountain of what-if’s.

So she allows her lips to crease up in a smile, though it’s tinged with regret, and a little bit of sadness.

“...No, no. You just remind me of someone. Are you taking to Earth well, so far...?”

“Easily agreed upon...” Her words are smooth and soft, but all the same centered and very much arrogant. “After all, I myself am the brightest fixture of the room.”

That in and of itself was true in a literal sense, though. She shone positively brilliantly, reflective and sparkling in all the right ways. She’s somewhat surprised anyone could stand to enter without squinting.

diamonrose replied to your post: quartzlegacy replied to your post: ...

its not even about whos good and bad cause?? to undermine a grey character like that.. i?? lowkey just ignore everything else to focus on one thing….. /:

Yeah absolutely! Pink Diamond is a really multifaceted character with a lot of interesting flaws. She’s absolutely not the perfect person she was made to seem like from the Crystal Gems putting her on a pedestal, but she’s certainly not a purely evil tyrant either. She’s an earnest, kind person who had trouble connecting to and understanding others at times because of her upbringing. She had the best of intentions but could often be clumsy or unintentionally cruel. She’s complicated, but complicated does not equate to evil. And people who call her “the true villain of the series” are just fooling themselves into falling back into the familiar, comfortable trappings of “heroes good, villains bad” morality plays.

you reached galaxy brain levels here and i respect you for it

like imagine being raised for thousands of years by intergalactic slave owners who treat you like an entitled baby and throw you in a dark room by yourself when you act out. finally escaping to somewhere that makes you happy. and then having a bunch of assholes hound you for leaving somebody behind that you probably weren’t even sure you’d be able to go back and retrieve.

i certainly think there’s merit in criticizing pink for her more selfish or cruel decisions/actions but wow, it’s really uncomfortable to me how willing the fandom has been to jump on an abuse victim for shit they assume she must have done purely maliciously and maybe not just like..............ignorantly.

“Simply corrected a mistake.” Her brows arch nigh leisurely. The only other person in the room standing besides the two of them was now hollow looking, gray and washed out. Absolutely perfect.

“All of the flaws inherent are now smoothed over. I hate to stretch myself thin, but...well, you simply left me no other choice.”

As for this foul mouthed and unwelcome visitor...

“Should I do the same for you? I don’t recall inviting you into my chamber.”
