Some thoughts about PD in SU: The Movie
- Fact: Spinel's story was really sad and what happened made her feel miserable.
-Also, a fact: If Pink Diamond had not abandoned Spinel and all that belonged to his "childhood", perhaps she would have never been able to make the decision to rebel against his family (three powerful creatures with armies and magical powers, who have been subjecting her to abuses for years).
Spinel represented his innocence and, as children find the strength to give away their toys (Spinel was a living being and not a toy, yes, I know), Pink Diamond decided to leave Spinel behind to enter a new phase of his life. She abandoned the game to assume her responsibilities.
-Fact: Pink diamond should have taken Spinel with her, instead of abandoning her on a planet, alone, for 6000 years.
When Spinel decided to move from the position she had been in for so long, her feet had stuck to the ground and were blocked by roots. And even if it had rained in that place (I saw plants, so there must have been a minimum of atmosphere, but perhaps not enough for rainfall...), I am pretty sure that she would have remained there, motionless, to wait anyway. Damn.
-Also, a fact: Do you remember that annoying "friend", you had when you were younger (or you still have)? The one who seemed a bit silly and that was a good person, but you didn't want to spend time with because you had "other things to do", but he/she stuck to you anyway?
Yes, there she is, Spinel. “That friend".
And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, maybe you were that kid.
Other examples: The person who sticks to you and doesn't want to go away. That immature person who, beyond a certain limit, stops being "adorable" and becomes annoying and stupid.
Maybe the child your parents or teacher said you to spend time with, even if you didn't want to and you couldn’t stand him/her.
Or the person with a handicap who is actually sweet and has a big heart, or the elderly with problems in doing movements or with memory lapses who need your help, or your classmate, who is kind, but everything but smart, and continuously asks for help....
Say me that you have never met one of this kind of people.
The fact that you leave a person doesn’t mean that you actually don't care for them. The thing is that you can't stay 24/7 with people who need help. You are not alone, there are other people too, and you can't throw away your potential and abilities for the good of anyone around you.
To be stupid sucks and be stupider than the others sucks even more, because you know that you will never reach the others and you will never be enough. You will always need someone else’s help. But you can’t drag down other people with you. Some people are more mature than others.
“Sorry Spinel, if I couldn't spend much time with you. Next time I will avoid saving all the living creatures of an entire planet, just to play with you”.
You needed help and you had some? Cool. Now let others go their way and follow their ambitions.
Consider the story in real life, where people buzz around you, bore you and distract you from your work because they want who knows what.
Overall, this is not a good excuse to treat someone badly, just because they need some help and steal 5 minutes of your life. I hope it’s implied.
-Fact: Pink Diamond abandoned Spinel causing her to suffer from a trauma of abandonment that who knows how long will take to heal.
-Also a fact: If a person suffers abuses from her/his parents for years, is highly probable that she/he will have lots of difficulties in loving a person.
Pink Diamond didn't learn how to love, and it may seem strange to say, but the ability of “loving” is a skill you learn from the people around you.
If a person who has been abused, doesn’t receive help or does not realize the errors committed by his/her abusers, he/she will possibly become “bad” or even worse than his/her abuser/s. Treat people horribly leads to create even more horrible people and so on.
Pink has been abused for years by White, Yellow and Blue Diamond. She was imprisoned multiple times (from what we can deduce) for YEARS in a place with no light that, for gems, is similar to water, food or air.
She was jerked, treated like an infant and who knows what happened to Pink Pearl. If the diamonds would have known that Spinel was not useful or had a bad influence on pink, probably they would have make her end like Pink Pearl (although, we still don't know exactly what happened to her).
Did Pink Diamond abandon Spinel for years? -> yes.
It is thanks to her that, an entire species of immortal creatures that performed galactic genocides, colonized planets killing any life form on them and used other creatures of the same species as objects, soldiers or toys or even shattered them, has changed? -> yes
- Is it true that, since the portal that connected the Earth to other planets had been destroyed, Pink could not return to the garden where Spinel was? And is it true that, if the portal was repaired, Homeworld gems could return on the Earth and see that some Crystal Gems were still alive, despite the corruption? -> also, yes.
