In the corrupted gems get healed post, what's the white diamond image from and what's the theory in that one? It's one I haven't heard before!
imma try to summarize, but uhh the image is from “serious steven”, of the corrupted pyramid/obelisk gem. some theorize that that gem is WD. some points/speculation i’ve seen for it are:
white’s energy, as seen in YMAM, is light, which is what makes every gem. if YD can control the stability of the gems form, making them unable to form, and BD can control the stability of their emotions, then white might be able to directly manipulate the light of a gem, and the information in it. and, if she’s the one able to control that, and this is the first time she attempted the corruption attack, then it’s possible she was also affected, and fell to earth.
the gem looks a LOT like a white diamond, with an identical/v similar shape to yellow’s gem
the obelisk features similar aesthetics/details to WD’s mural, such as a white shape on the forehead, and two hands coming together to hold something near the solar plexus (in the obelisk, it’s her gem, in the mural it’s an unknown round object, rumored to represent homeworld)
it’d explain her absence on homeworld - she isn’t purposefully missing out on many important happenings like the trial of rose quartz, she literally can’t be there.
the pyramid gem had an absolutely HUMONGOUS form for a gem. I mean, corrupted gems in general are really big, but the pyramid gem was it’s own structure, with a control room, a central chamber, and several other rooms for the gems to get lost in. presumably, only a very large and powerful gem could have a form that big when corrupted.
the pyramid gem has the mural inside it, which seems to depict a scene from the war with rose quartz presenting a diamond to the remaining diamonds, white, blue, and yellow. this would obviously be a v important event in the war if all 3 were present, so maybe there’s a reason white would choose to have this on her form.
also the fact that, in the “serious steven” development art, the obelisk was originally a statue with 5 pointed hair very similar to how WD is currently presented in all her depictions (thanks to a /sug/ anon for this pic):
the most damning piece of evidence i’ve seen against it is that, if she is WD, than why hasn’t WD been struck from the diamond authority symbol. the best explanations i’ve seen are that either yellow and blue don’t know, they know but they don’t want homeworld gems to know TWO diamonds were lost to earth. additionally, there’s the issue of her gem maybe being a bit TOO small in “serious steven”, but that’s something i believe could be changed/retconned, if the diamond’s sizes were changed
personally, i think the idea of the first gem steven healing being WHITE DIAMOND would be amazing. she is presumably, for all intents and purposes, the opposite of steven - he is an organic hyper-empathetic being fighting for freedom for the life on the planet earth, she is the queen matriarch of the gem species, disgusted by organics and hybrids, and only working towards expanding her and her species’ empire. would they get along at first? would she forgive him, or ally with him? would she immediately attempt to contact her fellow diamonds, or call them back to earth? would she try to unleash ANOTHER attack?
