Thought: diamonds are the most powerful gems in the universe (theoretically) and on top of that have millions of loyal minions. Bubbles can be fragile when attacked from the outside, esp bubbles holding gems, and there's no telling if diamonds could break bubbling themselves anyway bc of OP Diamond Haxx. her fellow lower gems, Rose didn't want to break, but breaking a diamond would make the most strategic sense since they're the enemy generals and the most dangerous and powerful. but idk
This is a very good reason for shattering vs bubbling a diamond, and I will happily accept it, but it is contingent on people realizing that Rose therefore did the exact thing she punished Bismuth for suggesting.
Like, straight up, that’s what happened.
