Looking for discussions on theories about who shattered Pink Diamond!

My theory:

Yellow Diamond shattered Pink Diamond because she was sympathetic towards Earth and Rose Quartzes cause. This is evidenced by the fact that Pink Diamond had softened tendencies towards Earth, preserving specimens in her zoo for example. Word of a diamond being sympathetic towards a rebellion would shake faith in the Diamond regime, so to maintain order Yellow Diamond shattered her.
>>
Oh pls Ruby and Garnet confirmed Rose shattered her
>>
>>92803984
Yellow Diamond was shaken by PD's death much like Blue Diamond, so I doubt it
>>
>>92804062
Maybe it was guilt? I doubt she'd want to shatter her "little sister" but felt it was necessary for the future of the regime.

"What's the use of feeling?" implies, especially towards the end, that she's dealt with Pink Diamonds demise by shutting down her own emotions. This makes sense if she was the one who killed Pink Diamond, deciding to choose logic (protecting the regime) over emotions (supporting her sister).
>>
Pearl
>>
Maybe she wasn't the one to do it, but knows it wasn't Rose Quartz who did it. The fact they're keeping White diamond hidden seems shifty desu.

Or maybe she doesn't actually know shit and just got angry at being accused by some commoner of the murder of her sister.
>>
>>92803984
I feel it's too obvious espically how they got lawyer to directly point at the diamonds and blame them. I think it's supposed mislead us storyewise, however I agree that yellow diamond is guilty of covering up some dirty secret.
>>
>>92803984
White Diamond had Pink shattered, possibly by a Pearl she had infiltrate PD's court. it would explain why Pearl is white yet has a pink diamond on her space uniform. Pearl is a triple agent, working WD, PD, and Rose Quartz

Rose made a deal with Yellow Diamond to end the war, Yellow wanted the war to end because she felt it was a waste of resources to stay in and maybe she had something against Pink, Yellow helps Rose get close enough to kill Pink and then covered up her own involvement later, Rose does it with the understanding that with Pink gone, Yellow will convince the other Diamonds the cost is too high and they should withdrawal

Next she talked the other Diamonds into ended the war by corrupting the planet even with loyal gems still on it, to make sure any witnesses are useless

Moving forward she made a plan to destroy the Earth entirely so there was nothing that could prove she was involved in Pink's death

TLDR: Rose still swung the sword, but Yellow Diamond was the mastermind behind the assassination

>>92804047

>>92804578
no it confirmed Rose couldn't have done it on her own

>>92804614

>>
>>92804588
Ruby serves under Yellow Diamond, and its been shown that the majority of gems are obsessive over their diamonds and worship them without question. Her covering it up by saying she witnessed it isn't unlikely. Why are Pink Diamonds servants absent while this random Yellow-serving Ruby is present?
>>
>>92804532

Let me rephrase it

A diamond couldn't have been the material author. But there's no doubt some weird shit was going on between them behind the scenes.
>>
>>92804653
None of the Crystal Gems seem to be in the know or else they would've told Steven "No, your mom wasn't a shatterer, your mom was a wonderful gem!"
>>
>>92804769

Which makes it even weird as to why Rose was ok with taking the blame
>>
Pink Pearl did it
>>
>>92804769
so your theory is that they didn't talk about it for like 5000 years and Pearl and Garnet just assumed Rose was a murderer and never actually tried to talk to her about the subject?
>>
>>92804570
Perhaps, although I wonder in the same sense the gem diamonds have misconception of being near invincible or just lied to towards thier people. It can be a fun twist based on that contrast.

But your likely right, I can dream though!
>>
We know that some gems are shapeshifters. The killer transformed into Rose and killed PD.

It was either WD or YD that killed PD.

There is also a chance that this whole thing is a deeper ruse and PD is actually Rose. I thought this theory was fake but Rose seems to OP for a soldier.
>>
>>92804822
Haven't you noticed that each of the Crystal Gems adore Rose to the point of almost worship?

The fact that she, the 'savior' and leader of the rebellion, is able to shatter a DIAMOND only furthers her goals. Giving in to the conspiracy and confirming that she did it only benefits her.
>>
>>92804675
But then, why would that Ruby care about keeping up the illusion in a bubble out in space?
>>
>>92804933
Fanatical subservience to her diamond.
>>
>>92804924
no it doesn't

because Rose didn't like being worshiped, that's why she dumped Rose for Greg
>>
>>92804822
Pearl acted weird when it was brought up. She might have been a part of it. She has to be WD pearl, maybe she was gifted to PD. The blue and yellow pearls seemed to know something.
>>
>>92804216
>>92804283

Pearl is after all, white and every pearl so far we have seen has complimented their respective diamonds.

>>92804988
There's a difference between being worshipped for a cause and being worshipped in the bedroom, anon.

Yellow is likely covering up something, she likely helped the YELLOW lawyer pick witnesses to do the trail faster and make Blue feel like she knows what she needs to know.
>>
>>92804970
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XBRC3oFGXg
Yeah, but she saw it 'with her own eye'. And then the Gems react like that's what happened. So it doesn't really make sense that it was a delusion unless we've got a gem that can alter memories or shapes, or this Ruby is dedicated to keeping aflame a legend that long since stopped being told, since that Zircon at the trial seemed to not know all the information right away.
>>
The fact that there is only a single testimony shown that Rose Quartz shattered PD, and that it comes from someone who serves Yellow Diamond, definitely furthers my belief that YD is responsible.
>>
>>92803984
Pearl, instigated by Rose, who was a double agent for White Diamond. Pretty much like the Boss
>>
>>92804675
>Why are Pink Diamonds servants absent while this random Yellow-serving Ruby is present?

...unless Eyeball was originally one of Pink's Rubies and got claimed by Yellow after the war. You know, like Jasper?
>>
>>92804988
It depends which gem you asked (like Bismuth) or even how you asked. Diamonds are like queens in a insect colony but gems have sapienism and have the ability to be thier own being and have indviusiual desires.
So what happen when you kill that queen that colony that supports you but limits you?
>>
>>92805285
I can't help but to feel they probably would've mentioned that already if that was the case? She's had several opportunities to say that she served under Pink Diamond and hasn't.

I'd put my money on Pearl doing it

We KNOW Ruby wouldn't have made the mistake of false memory (gems have perfect memory it seems) and was so zealot about seeing Rose that she wouldn't have kept quiet just because YD told her to.

So my theory is the following: Pearl cracked PD, PD escapes and is found by Rose who finishes her off with her sword

Maybe it'll be revealed that Pink Pearl defected with Rose prior to PD's shattering, approached PD's Palanquin as a distraction and Rose shattered her.
>>
>>92804121
I honestly believe that YD did not do it.
I think that'd be too obvious for all the BS this show likes to pull.

Again, I believe it was probably Pink Pearl (our Pearl) who defected earlier to Rose, re-approached PD as a distraction at which point Rose shattered her.

The real question I was wondering if they'd answer was how? Like how could a Quartz muster enough force to destroy the hardest naturally occurring rock in existence.
>>
>>92805858
You have a lot higher expectations for the writers than I do, then.
>>
What if... White Diamond forced Yellow Diamond to do it?

For the same reasoning as OP stated -- Pink Diamond was sympathetic to the Earth cause, and as a result was a liability. WD, the ultimate authority, forced YD to shatter PD, knowing that BD was too sympathetic and emotional but also didn't want to dirty her own hands.

>>92806059
I mean the issue is that Eyeball the Zealot's account of events negates the possibility that YD actually did the shattering.

So it's one of two possibilities:
First, YD cracked PD, but Rose finished her off later (Hence Eyeball saw Rose do it)

Alternatively, (Pink) Pearl distracted PD, allowing Rose to shatter her (again, allowing Eyeball to see it).
>>
>>92804308
Black diamond?
>>
I think that it was definitely not Rose Quartz, at least, as I feel that fits the narrative of Jaspers redemption (which is practically confirmed at this point).

For Jasper to be told that Rose Quartz wasn't the one who shattered her precious Pink Diamond would definitely be a huge turnaround for her and would give her an incentive to join the Crystal Gems to fight a common enemy.

>>
>>92805858
>as how? Like how could a Quartz muster enough force to destroy the hardest naturally occurring rock in existence.

This all implies there are remains of a shattered diamond.

My theory is that Pink Diamond got bored and left, and let everyone somehow think she was shattered.

Why? Don't know.
>>
>>92803984
Well duh.
Facts:
1. Pink was sympathetic towards humans, wanting to preserve them.
2. Rose's sword CANNOT shatter gems.
3. Blue stated that it was a sword that shattered her, meaning that people mistakenly thought that when Rose poofed her, she shattered her, when someone else was the one who did it.
4. Blue was the person who is most sad about Pink's death,and should be the most mad, yet Yellow was the most anxious on shattering Rose, easily to a incriminating degree.
5. In Yellow's talk to Peridot, she states that "she wants her cluster, and for that planet to die, just to make that happen". Peridot had a point, why destroy something JUST for a weapon when you could use it for something better? Its because Yellow diamond sees the Earth possibly as evidence against her in some way. Or her want of a geo-weapon is too great, possibly enough that she would be willing to kill to have her way.

It has to be Yellow, no question. Also, no its not Pearl. When blue zircon was talking, Yellow clarified that Pink already knew at the time that her Pearl had betrayed her and joined the rebel Rose Quartz.

Likely situation: Pink sent her guard away to talk with Yellow inside the palinquinn, when Rose showed up. Pink stepped outside, and just as Rose was charging in with her sword, Yellow attacked from behind at the same time, and as the sword pierced her, Yellow did additional damage needed to shatter Pink as she poofed at the same time. Yellow went back to hiding in the palinquinn, and when the smoke cleared, everyone saw Rose standing there with the sword, and Pink shattered. A rebel stating that a enemy leader was destroyed by another enemy leader? Nobody would have believed that so Rose played the only part she was given.
>>
>>92806822
Except Rose has no reason to lie to her own forces, also YD is clearly motivated by grief as much as BD, it's just she focuses it towards anger instead of sorrow.
>>
>>92807055
She's concealed the truth from them in the past already, why wouldn't she lie?
>>
Someone call Batman, it may be the riddler behind this
>>
>>92806360
Jasper being told that White and/or Yellow Diamond killed Pink Diamond would probably result in an immediate turnaround for her.

Well, not immediate. I imagine her corruption would go even more insane first.
>>
Anyone noticed Yellow Diamond's reaction to Steven admitting to crime?

She seemed surprised...
She was also very persistent with just killing Steven as quickly as possible especially when blue Zircon was asking so many reasonble questions during the trial.
>>
>>92807055
Rose never told them about Bismuth either.
Rose saw Pink's death as the time to motivate her fellow rebels.
Also, surprise, Yellow only showed sadness in one scene with Blue. She was faking it. It's obvious she was faking it.
You want Yellow to be some kind of "work a holic", but she's not. She wants the Earth to be turned into a weapon, and Pink wanted to maintain humanity, so she killed her. Why is that so hard to think of? ESPECIALLY when blue zircon even reached that conclusion herself, seemingly by accident as well.

Okay, conspiracy time:

Pink Diamond might have been against the other Diamonds from the beginning because of her sympathy to humans. Furthermore, she might've actually been sympathetic with Rose's cause, considering their world outlook and views on Earth are turning out to be not so different.

Yellow Diamond probably figured out Pink's wavering loyalties and staged her shattering to prevent her from becoming a liability, placing the blame on Rose's rebellion.

A prime piece of evidence towards this is found when we learned that Rose allegedly shattered PD with a sword. Bismuth described Rose's sword as being able to "cut through a gem's physical form in an instant, destroying the body, but never the gem." Rose's sword was simply not designed to shatter gems, which was why Bismuth created the breaking point (which Steven originally thought was the weapon that Rose used to kill Pink Diamond).

This information suggests one of three things:

1. Rose found Pink Diamond while PD's gem was already damaged, making the sword enough to be able to shatter her.

2. With or without her knowledge, Rose received some kind of help in her assassination attempt against Pink Diamond.

3. The whole assassination was falsified, and false records were created to make it appear that Rose Quartz killed Pink Diamond. It is evident that a vast majority of homeworld gems didn't actually see Pink Diamond getting shattered and are just going off of rumors and records.

Out of all the characters that could have a hand in any of these scenarios, Yellow Diamond is the only one who had both the means and the motives, as she had a disdain toward Earth and didn't seem too fond of preserving Pink Diamond's legacy.
>>
>>92808291
To add to this, wasn't Yellow pretty eager to get her cluster geo-weapon from the Earth's destruction? Also, if you were to assume somebody was in charge of choosing which Diamond to go to Earth in the first place (white diamond), and chose Pink over Yellow, this would also give validity to Yellow in shattering Pink, because Yellow could believe that she would be put in charge of the Earth in her place then.
>>
>>92805773
>I'd put my money on Pearl doing it
ok, but HOW did she do it? how can a Pearl shatter/crack a Diamond?

White diamond did it. Yellow is a red herring.

>>92803984
PINK DIAMOND IS A FUSION OF ROSE QUARTZ AND THE LION
Capslock is cruise control for truth
>>
Pink shattered herself. It was her first planet and she couldn't bear the destruction of life she had to incur

Rose took the blame as per Pink's plan - she cried over her gem resulting in lion

A rebellion capable of killing diamonds isn't worth one measly planet

>>
>>92804910
But gems can't change their colour
>>
>>92812079
What if they were the same color as rose?
>>
>>92804822
Hearing word that a non-Diamond was able to shatter a Diamond would be a tremendous morale boost to Rose's cause.

My personal theory is that Pink Diamond was sympathetic to the rebellion, White Diamond shattered Pink Diamond because of her sentiments, and that Pink Diamond asked Rose with her dying breath to claim that she shattered her so that the rebellion could gain renewed momentum.
>>
>>92811837

>>
>>92803984
PD shattered herself.....
>>
>>92804279
Most likely the latter. YD's reaction seems to have been one of genuine shock and disgust at such an implication.
>>
We don't definitively know just what happened to Pink quite yet. She may not have been shattered if there was a plan to fake her death, which would explain Pearl and Garnet's reaction to Steven asking about it. If they are in on a conspiracy for Pink to have faked her death, they obviously can't tell Steven, but at the same time know the type of shit they're putting him through by letting him think he did.

Yellow is probably aware of the deception, but has to keep it hidden herself or risk fragmenting the Gempire even more. Given the show's theme of being true to yourself, Pink may have grown to care for Earth and refused to continue the colonization mission. The question then becomes just where is Pink Diamond?

Alternatively, Pink is dead, but that raises a similar question: where is the body/shards?
>>
So now that it's abundantly clear that Rose's powers are op as fuck even among gems and yet she's still somehow a shallow-crust tier gem, my question is: what the fuck?

I hate Pink Diamond-alignment theories as much as anyone, but it's hard not to let the mind wander when she's that friggin broken.
>>
>>92812416

I think the implication might be that pink quartz's are an earth specific gem. Like it requires the Earth's biosphere to make them, hence the healing and plant powers.

Like eyeball suggested that there were no pink quartz's at all on homeworld's side.

yellow diamond is a red herring, in the dark about this as much as blue

the final boss of the series will be white diamond and the truth coming out will obviously get blue and yellow to turn on her

>>92812956
Wait, maybe Rose used White to shatter Pink? Like a human shield sort of thing. Knowing that only a diamond can hurt a diamond, she lured White to Earth and Rose blocked a powerful attack by white with Pink (or at least her gem), shattering her.

I think...

Yellow didnt do it, its to on the nose, its a misdirect

Also, the hiarchy of the diamonds from theyre symbol might imply that pink was bottem tier, yellow and blue are equals and mid tier, making white diamond god tier and potentially nigh unstoppable

Which would fit the theme of the show of steven turning enemies into allies, because it means that he could reach the diamonds

My theory is that all out gem war is coming, with blue joining the crystal gems, and yellow following white diamond, until the inevitable death of yellow and or blue, solely to establish how much you cannot fight white diamond

Shattering and corruption will eventually be solved with healing powers though, so when they finally shatter the first gem they might save it for saphire to have the greatest emotional impact. She would see it coming for ruby or her and make a call, no more garnet, everyones sad now, the end.

Resources to make HER gems. Or not, as she so chooses. Why would the other gems care how she spent her money. I mean, they'd care, but because they were essentially siblings, not because they had anything to gain by getting so pissed that your peer is misusing her planet that you'd erase both her AND the planet from existence.

I GUESS I could see someone silencing the contagious Earthiken worldview that was infecting gems and endangering their way of life, but not over resources.

The Diamonds are used to commanding others to do what they want & it's done. Yellow Diamond constantly yells at Blue Diamond for her constant weeping. Imagine if Pink Diamond, the baby diamond, was constantly under the scrutiny of her more experienced peers. Each of them want to get involved, telling her how she should do things, how she should be, all in an effort to mold her into something of their image. They are making her be a leader even though she doesn't want to follow in their line of work. She is told she was made to lead, even though leaders aren't really born leaders. How does Pink Diamond turn down your doting mentors? Say no to the family business when the family business runs dozens of worlds? Yellow Diamond wouldn't understand. So what options does Pink Diamond have?

A. Continue conquering worlds forever.
B. Off herself to get them off her back.

The latter is what Pink Diamond chose. She couldn't say no to the other Diamonds, so she did no. Pink Diamond & Rose Quartz are one in the same. They both took drastic measures of destroying themselves to avoid confrontation.
>>
>>92813217
They'd care if the use of those resources was the difference between the Gem Empire continuing to thrive or stumbling into decline.

And remember that nowadays, Earth is under YD's supervision and that YD does not make rational decisions. Her desired outcome of the Earth is founded on a desire for revenge and closure, not on what is best for the Gem Empire. I wouldn't be surprised if White Diamond enters the story because she's sick of YD wanting to squander such a prized world and tries to assassinate her as well.

Although I will admit that your second point seems valid too, and probably played a role in WD killing PD if that is what happened.
>>
>>92806822
>1. Pink was sympathetic towards humans, wanting to preserve them.

There is no basis for that whatsoever. We like to think Pink Diamond was a bigger version of Rose Quartz, but we have learned nothing about how she behaved back then, and no real evidence that she either was or wasn't a heartless ruler, just because of her color scheme.
>>
>>92813280
This is the most valid theory so far.
>>
>>92807758
Why is the image she projects to all her subordinates as an all-pragmatic ruler going to be intrinsically more credible than a private moment with a sister of equal standing? Where even is the evidence that Pink wanted to save humanity beyond keeping them as pets?
>>
>>92813689
No other Diamonds have zoos. Pink Diamond is the only one who wanted to preserve humans, and not even the shitty kind of preservation but making them as comfortable as they could possibly be.
>>
>>92813689
Pink commissioned a zoo for the continuation of the species. She allieviated the human lives of all distress. You dan call it prison, but I think it was a sanctuary.
>>
>>92813771
Where is the evidence Pink Diamond thought of humans as playthings?

Pink Diamond must have at least cared for humans enough to continue on the race. She had no obligation to create a zoo.
>>
>>92813786
>>92813795
It's still a zoo, for all intents and purposes. Rose Quartz, on the other hand, found the idea of organic life to be equivalent, even superior in some aspects, to Gem existence. The question is whether Pink Diamond had the same humbling ideas about gemkind or not.
>>
>>92813938
Rose Quartz didn't think much better of humans until she met Greg, meaning that she and Pink Diamond had...the same..low view of humans......oh god the theory's back to life again

Regardless of the outcome whatever the fuck Eyeball says I just don't believe. Rubies are fucking retarded and she serves under Yellow Diamond. Also Blue Zircon deduced Rose was framed for the murder, because there was no reason for her to be allowed near PD.
>>
I don't think either Blue or Yellow are involved in Pink's murder. Blue thinks it's bizarre that a Rose Quartz was even able to kill her sister and wanted to know how the hell it happened, while Yellow doesn't give a shit and just wants Rose dead. I think whoever did it wanted Blue and Yellow to think it was Rose, and Yellow's taking the bait. Blue at least has the common sense to realize something's wrong, but can't figure out what.
>>
>>92813786
>>92813795
But Pink Diamond made the zoo not because she wanted to preserve humanity, but because she found humanity amusing and wanted to keep some as pets. Had she really loved humanity, she would have let the humans develop their cultures in the zoo instead of being set to schedules like mere animals, or even better, just let them be and leave Earth alone.
>>
>>92813642
If it were a prized world, then why have they just abandoned it? Because they're not resource-obsessed cutthroats, they're peers with a great sense of bond and the planet

If WD wanted to take over PD's planet why would she just let YD turn it into a superweapon? Why wouldn't she take it herself? How could she possibly not have enough sway within the quartet-turned-trio? She's clearly the de facto leader.

I will have no more part of this theory. One line about homeworld being low on resources and you want to throw tone, all previously displayed character attributes, and word of god out the window for a quack theory.

So, what really happened that day? Let's just for a moment speculate, shall we? We have a gem losing her physical form around 12:15, p.m. distracting the Agats, making it easier for the shooters to move into their places. The gem later vanished, never making it back to home world. The A-Team gets on the 6th floor of the Kindergarten. Now they were refurbishing the floors in the Kindergarten that week, which allowed unknown gems in and out of the building. They move quickly into position just minutes before the shooting. The second spotter on the radio talking to the other two teams has the best overall view -- the 'God spot.' B-Team, one riflegem and one spotter with a head-set, with access to the Kindergarten, moves into the low floor of the drills. The third team, the C-Team moves in behind the rocks above the Grassy Knoll, where the shooter and the spotter are first seen by the late Jasper in the watchtower of the rail yard. They have the best position of all. Pink Diamond is close and on a flat low trajectory. Part of this team is a coordinator who's flashed security credentials at several people chasing them out of the parking lot area. Probably two to three more gems are down in the crowd. Ten to twelve gems - three teams, three shooters. The triangulation of fire that Topaz and Sapphire discussed two months before. They have walked the plaza. They know every inch. They have calibrated their sights. They have practiced on moving targets. They are ready.
>>
>>92814034
While I don't necessarily disagree with this, don't the events of The Answer kind of throw the argument that Rose couldn't get near a Diamond under dubious light? I mean, Rose and Pearl seemed to be able to get within twenty feet of Blue Diamond on her sky fortress without a big hassle.

Pink Diamond's palanquin makes a turn. It's gonna be an offcolor shoot. They don't shoot her coming up which is the easiest shot for a single shooter in the Book Depository. They wait. They wait 'til he gets to the killing zone between three rifles. Pink Diamond makes the final turn from, slowing down to some 11 miles an hour. The shooters across the Kindergarten tighten, taking their aim, waiting for the radio to say 'Green! Green!' or 'Abort! Abort!'. The first shot rings out, sounding like a backfire. It misses the palanquin completely. Frame 161: Pink Diamond stops waving as she hears something. Her Pearl's head turns slightly to the right. Frame 193: the second shot hits Pink Diamond in the throat from the front. Frame 225: Pink Diamond emerging from behind the road sign. You can see that she's obviously been hit, raising her arms to his throat. The third shot, Frame 232, hits Pink Diamond in the back pulling her downward and forward. The Pearl, you will notice, shows no signs at all of being hit. She is visibly holding her skirt, which is impossible if her wrist has been shattered. The Pearl is turning here now. Frame 238: the fourth shot. It misses Pink Diamond and takes her Pearl in the back. This is the shot that proves there were two rifles. Her Pearl yells out: 'My Diamond! They're going to shatter us all.' Somewhere around this time now, another shot that misses the palanquin completely, strikes an Agat down by the underpass. The palanquin comes to a halt. The sixth and fatal shot, Frame 313, takes Pink Diamond in the gem from the front. This is the key shot. Pink Diamond going back and to her left. Shot from the front and right. Totally inconsistent with the shot from the palanquin. Again, back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. So what happens then? Pandemonium.

>>92814195
The difference is that Sapphire predicted it, informed Blue Diamond, and Blue Diamond allowed it to happen so she could end the rebellion.

If Blue Diamond could make everyone in the room cry with her pathokinesis, couldn't Pink Diamond have the power to alter memories or perceptions? That's why everyone believes Pink Diamond was shattered by Rose & her sword in front of palaquin- she literally made them believe that is what they saw.

My theory is that Pearl was a spy for WD who was sent to assassinate PD. Pearl would sneak away from PD to nudge Rose Quartz into starting a rebellion so that she'd have someone to pin the blame on (a rebel leader assassinating PD would make enough sense that nobody would question it). Finally, she shapeshifted in Rose one day and did the deed, but by that point she had been sneaking off with Rose often enough to have feelings for her so she confessed what had happened. Rose offered to take full responsibility so Pearl could return to homeworld, but Pearl refused and opted to stay (that's the flashback we saw in the other episode).
>>
>>92813012
I still want a reason why the diamonds are the way they are. Resources seem so vague. They don't eat or need water, they don't even need air or the sun. The only reason for planets is to make more of themselves, but why do they need more if resources are a problem.

Maybe Pink Diamond objected to the Cluster; she apparently only controlled the one planet and might not have been willing to destroy it in that fashion.

Even if she didn't care that much about Earth, she might have had reservations about using gem shards that way.

Pearls don't just belong to Diamonds though; Rhodolite mentioned belonging to a Morganite before she fused and she pretty clearly had a Pearl in the mix.

I don't think so. Rose was willing to bubble Bismuth, her main weapons manufacturer, because she wanted to shatter. Rose wouldn't enable shattering by taking credit for PD's death.

Even if your scenario was case why didnt she tell Pearl and Garnet AFTER the fighting was done?
Those two are obviously troubled by it and Rose would have wanted to clear her name.

Let's face it. Writers fucked up again.

Yellow Diamond had most of them shattered or bubbled after the Pink Diamond shattering event. I doubt they knew about Pearl, Bismuth or Garnet. Even if they did, they would likely ignore any testimony they gave due to them being loyal to Rose Quartz.

We do know that Pearl is in this for more than just her rebel dollar.

She's very quiet on the subject of whose Pearl she used to be. And as has been stated many times, the physical qualities and location of her gem suggest she belonged to White Diamond.

I have suggested before that she was a gift of White to Pink on the occasion of her first colony. But a gift with a poison sting inside: should Pink Diamond be weak or falter, Pearl was to take her out.

That Pearl is atypical for her kind - a warrior Pearl, who ever heard of such a thing? But it's the perfect cover - is one of the major themes of the show.

The most perfect assassin is the one you don't see even if she is standing right in front of you.

Here's what doesnt make sense, assumig Diamonds cant change color when they shapeshift, YD couldnt have shattered Pink Diamond, one of PD's own had to have done it cause they'd have to LOOK like Rose Quartz in color when they shapeshift to resemble her. If she had a hand in it, I imagine she ordered one to do it, one with close ties to PInk Diamond, one who had would not suspicious, my guess currently is Pink Diamond's own Pearl.

But right there is still just not enough evidence to make any real claims on who did it.


also our PEARL DID IT!

Let's see what we got...

>Rose Quartz killed Pink Diamond
Seems to be debunked. But it would be pretty awesome if, at the end of the season, it turns out she did it after all.

>Yellow Diamond killed Pink Diamond
PD was failing to suppress the rebellion, and YD suspected that she was faltering. The Zoo was proof of that. In order to preserve the strength of the Diamond Authority she killed her. Even though she knows it was necessary, she still mourns Pink Diamond, also because of how her death affects Blue Diamond. This currently seems the most likely option.

>White Diamond killed Pink Diamond
...For much the same reason. Yellow Diamond knows, although she did not agree - but because WD is the most powerful and ancient gem of all, she could and dared not stop her. She has been shielding Blue Diamond from this knowledge ever since. But she still hates Earth because that is where Diamond killed Diamond, and she wants it eradicated.

>(White) Pearl killed Pink Diamond
For the sake of love, her love for Rose Quartz? ("Just let me do this for you!") Or was she a sleeper agent for White Diamond?

>Steven killed Pink Diamond
After learning she really was an evil tyrant, he used the Hourglass of Time (which was crushed by a product of time travel, and therefore never crushed in the first place) to travel back in time and destroy PD with the Shatterpoint.

sub theory:
there is a diamond or gem out there who can mind-control gems. they poofed Rose, bubbled her, brought her to Pink Diamond, and when PD stepped out she popped the bubbled and mind-controlled Rose into shattering PD

So when they said that Rose's Sword can't shatter gems, what does that actually mean? Like is it specifically constructed so it would just like... bounce off if it touches a gem's gem? You'd think if you used any weapon with sufficient force behind it, you could shatter anyone if you hit it at the right spot.

rJust want to remind everyone that it probably wasn't Pearl or Rose that killed Pink Diamond.
I think the Trial implied that it was literally impossible for a normal gem to shatter a Diamond.

Blue Diamond wasn't really concerned with WHY she was killed, she kept asking Steven HOW Rose did it. Like as in, how was it even possible.
>>
>>92817561
>(White) Pearl killed Pink Diamond
This seems like the most likely option. Here are some tidbits of foreshadowing:

1. Pearl chooses to never shapeshift.
Why? Because she shapeshifted into Rose's form when she killed Pink Diamond.

2. The only eye witness shown so far is an easily fooled Ruby. The rest of Pink Diamond's entourage could've been Rebels.

3. The most damning, Do It For Her:
>And you have nothing but the way you feel, >your strategy and a sword;
>You just think about the life you'll have
>together after the war!
Pink Diamond was killed by a sword.

This mural seems to indicate that Rose poofed Pink Diamond, probably using her sword, and then White Diamond shattered Pink Diamond.

Then used her authority to blame it all on Rose.
>>
>>92820750
If you subscribe to the theory that CG Pearl belonged to White Diamond at first then that's easily explained by White Diamond ordering Pearl to kill Pink Diamond next time Rose attacks the Palanquin and make sure Rose gets the blame for it.

Pearl would gladly do it if it meant that all the fighting could stop.

As suggested earlier in the thread, Pearl in pink colors. Doesn't work very well so I doubt she belonged to the Diamond specifically.

Well her clothes wouldn't look like that specifically especially since Rose wore white and Jasper didn't wear pink either.
>>
>>92821589
But Blue and Yellow pearls are very monotone in their palette and match their diamond. I guess it could be explained, but it just doesn't make much sense. There's plenty of other better explanations that don't include Pearl belonging specifically to a Diamond.

Yes, she belonged to Pink Diamond,.. but she was made by White Diamond. At least in my hypothesis. The gem placement is the strongest indication.
>>
>>92803984
It was White Diamond, she was getting sick of Pink wasting her time trying to preserve life, and was salty that Pink was the first to find life.
She made a Pearl (our Pearl) to rebel against Pink, luring her outside for Rose to shatter.
None of her court was there because White Diamond had sent them away.
>>
>>92816306
t's her Palace
>>
I think we'd have to figure out what happened chronologically, because the absence of White Diamond is interesting.

The Diamonds are all leaders, but White was probably at the top. White could have seen Pink was sympathetic to Rose's earth shit, and decided to kill her...but with her own Pearl (our Pearl). She joined Earth's rebellion later as a way inside but fell in love with Rose. It'd be somewhat reasonable if Pink had no guards at the time and was only assigned Rose and a Pearl (unwittingly, not her own Pearl)
>>
>>92803984
I'm almost certain it's Pearl but I hope not because introducing the much more interesting idea that another diamond did it only to backtrack to the more boring answer would suck.

>>92812658
"Diamonds grow and Crystallize with Cleavage Lines. If struck at the Right Angle and the Right Amount of Impact, Diamonds can actually Separate. Almost like Putting a Wedge in a Tree.

The writer chooses but Rose is too OP. Rose should be PD, she shattered herself changing bodies, her body is in a bubble since her sword can't shatter a gem
>>
>>92803984
P1
I'm now a believer in the "Rose was PD" theory that I though was crackpot tier before.

1- The Trail points out that it had to have been an inside job to some degree. PD had to have had a reason to put herself in that situation. Having future seeing gems that didn't tell her shit, having warrior gems that didn't fight ... and no reports from them on why they allowed this to happen.

2- It's also pointed out how Rose had op powers among RQ gems. Why the fuck is this one Rose so strong? Hell, future sight is a power shared among Sapphires beyond or own, why not healing and plaint warriors and shit?

3- We have yet to hear PD's story in any regard (same for WD)

4- Rose was made on earth (important for later)


What I think happened.
Pearl was WD's Pearl. She was passed off to PD as a gift, to help her start her own colony on earth. We see Yeal doing shit for YD all the time so it seems safe to assume that they WOULD know some of how things worked and could be helpful in advising another in the ways their diamond does things.

PD gets to earth and gets busy. But she sees the beauty and worth in it and doesn't want to rape it like her sisters wanted her to do. But being the baby or lowest ranked she can't say no. Even if she did they may have shut down any convo on that nonsense because they didn't see earth as anything but new place that reflects HW's culture (Like PDot shows on the moon). Spending time with organic life may have changed her view on it (the diamonds seem to have lil understanding on humans.)
>>
>>92827169
P2
At some point she decided to mind jump into other gems to explore this world, away from the eyes of her entourage and sisters. (Lets remember that BD has shown a power to impose her sadness on others and YD seems to have the power to flat out destabilize a gem's form which she later makes weapons for other gems to do this to. Why wouldn't one have Steven's OP body jumping power to an even grander scale?) She finds that many gems aren't happy with the Diamonds and want something more from life. They want to build what they want, do what they want, learn what they want and not be boxed into just being what the diamonds tell them to .. like her. She may not be able to change her sisters on HW but she can at least make life better for the gems and organic life on earth.

She jumps into a RQ, giving her powers beyond any of her kind. This would be a Earth gem born on this planet collecting the gems unhappy with HW and fighting against the systems of a world she's not from. That's pretty damn good, right? But PD has to play from both sides, she has to try to rule like her sisters want but also lead the CGs as Rose. But she can't keep this going on forever. At some point she thinks it would be a good idea to show gems that Diamonds arnt gods by using her power to control her entourage into standing down as she does a public display of rebel power and cuts herself down as Rose ... with the sword that doesn't shatter. We are never told what happened to the shards, no one seems to know why she was allowed to die and the one sword Rose is known for is a non-shattering sword so ... I don't think she was actually shattered.
>>
>>92827193
P3
How much Pearl knows about this is as much your guess as mine. She could know the whole thing. She could have just been being played as an excuse as to why Rose would know so much about so and so (Get PD's pearl on your side as an informant so that when other gems question you about how you know PD will be here or do that you can point to her).

Would make sense as to why Steven and Rose have such powers IMO.

But that's my fanfic for the day.

Rose poofed Pink Diamond and then used Pink Diamonds gem as a weapon against White Diamond causing White Diamond to accidentally shatter Pink Diamond. Rose did this on purpose and therefore was the one who killed Pink Diamond. Yellow Diamond knew White Diamond was the reason Pink Diamond was destroyed so that part was covered up.

Also maybe Pink Diamond willingly let herself get caught in a suicidal manner since it seems like no one in her main court was there or did anything about it.

White Diamond probably notice Pink Diamond was becoming to powerful and made plans with Rose to kill her.

Zircon did heavily emphasize how Pink's pearl was absent. And Pearl having a PD emblem heavily implies she was either PD's pearl or under a high ranking member of PD's court.

No it wasn't? It wasn't pointed out that only the Crystal Gem Rose Quartz has all those powers.

Doesn't make sense either. When Steven possessed Lars, he only had all the abilities of a Lars, to think that all PD's OP Diamond powers would follow her consciousness and remain even after her original body was shattered had no logical basis.

It might be that someone helped her, maybe pink diamond's pearl and Rose. I think we're right about it being white diamond though. White diamond might've ordered them to be compliant in some way. Or whoever it was that "killed" her.

Pearl doesn't seem to think pink was a good guy, calls the zoos insidious. I still find it strange a quartz was able to have a pearl, because it seems our pearl was assigned to her.

Also apprently Rose was the only gem able to heal broken gems as stated by the Zircon during the trial?

Or worse, Pink was about to surrender (the reason everyone says Rose won the war) and WD had her killed to prevent that from happening and making the diamonds look weak.

YD knows the truth, but keeps it hidden from BD to protect her emotionally and from everyone else to stop it from looking like the diamond leadership is having infighting. Also, should YD let the truth about WD get out, it would lead to a full diamond war that even the combined forced of YD and BD would lose. YD has been keeping WD at a distance from her and BD out of fear that WD would strike again (the reason WD was not at the trial).

TLDR, WD did it, YD is doing her best to hide it to protect everyone.

A high ranking Quartz. Probably Captain of the Rose Guard, as it were.

Knowing how long if fucking took for both YD & BD to be shown, it wouldn't surprise me that WD is around.

As far as the how & why, she would probably shatter Yellow at the moment when she least suspects it, sort of like a "One loose end to tie up" moment, where Yellow thinks they need to get rid of Steven & the crystal gems, but White is referring to Yellow. As for why, because White wants to control the entire empire. Why would she want to share it with anyone? At first she works with Yellow as it would suit her, then get rid of yellow at the best moment for her so she can have total absolute control of homeworld, the colonies, and all of their resources.

Still, killing the thing that killed a diamond is a pretty big deal. So maybe.

This is very plausible, if not likely. PD loved Earth and treasured it and its inhabitants. Considering she and Rose probably shared some ideals, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that PD was willing to surrender to keep Earth safe. Rose may have even used this to her advantage: As a war on Earth would have ravaged the planet and made PD lose everything.

YD wants Earth to die through the Cluster because she can't bring herself to destroy the planet directly. Hell that would explain why they don't just do an invasion of the planet and have just been sending agents and envoys instead.

it'd be a useless effort. she was already guilty of being a rebel.

as for her team not knowing, she's already been confirmed to be a lousy communicator, she probably just didn't say anything about it at all.

i get the feeling that rose was just as scarred as the other CGs after the war and steven was nothing more than a chance to escape her past, not realizing that homeworld would ever return.

Blue is clearly the most upset about it and will turn on anyone who killed Pink
Blue and yellow fusing to form green diamond has already being foreshadowed
Blue would never fuse with Yellow if she shattered Pink

That pic is a greater reference to Peridot and Lapis, not the diamonds.

Her scarf is blue and has Lapis' cut mark. He's wearing a metal (i.e. her powers) chain with Peridots cut mark. Their hats are in reference to the Diamond court they belong to (which is supposed to represent the camp they're in in the show). Not to mention that Lapis and Peri are the ones who watch it. It's not about the Diamonds.
>>
>>92838463
You're still wrong dumbass. Get fucked

I think that Rose Quartz wasn't a rebel against all Diamonds. She was still loyal to her diamond. The Crystal Gems were a vanguard of PD's rebellion.

PD saw she was losing, so she hatched a scheme with RQ. She pretended to get shattered, instead she was poofed.
>>
What if it wasn't PD who had been shattered? What if it was a huge fusion and Rose poofed it with her sword? Then many gems (stones) fall on the ground, but it could look, like "shattering"
>>
Rose bubbled pink diamond per her request and spread false rumors of her death to protect earth? Ahh.. Every angle sounds wrong but idk. I feel like there is something important inside lion/lars that will tell us more about this and maybe it's pink diamond's gem? I mean it doesn't seem like there are any credible witnesses to Pink Diamond's death.

Pearl Did it-- I'm sick of this theory even with the added clause that Our Pearl = White Pearl... though that one is more plausible if not entirely valid. Blue Zircon's defense is solid: Nobody who is part of the rebellion could have gotten close to PD without her entire court swarming her. Our Pearl was part of the rebellion with Rose from practically the start. She attacked Blue Diamond's court with Rose. She is instantly recognizable as a rebel, the location of a gemstone cannot be changed nor can its color, so that nixes the scenario where she shapeshifts into someone PD trusts. A bunch of Rubys could be fooled by "White Diamond/Yellow Diamond/the fucking Fuller Brush Salesman" showing up to speak with Pink, but all the rest of the court and guards and Pink-Pearl? No way. It would retcon alot of the deeply personal moments she has shared with Steven and the others. She has outright stated that everything she's ever done, she did for Rose Quartz. She has also demonstrated a crippling sense of worthlessness at times, which was the root of the whole Sardonyx mess, so it's simply out of character that even in the past she was capable of some master deceptions and Diamond assassinations. It takes away from all the moments, and witnessed flashbacks, basically the whole goddang show of Pearl being loyal to Rose, the Crystal Gems, and above all, to Steven.

Furthermore, if she *started* the war, and then went back to Rose and confessed it? I don't know how Rose would be able to trust her. Look what she had to do to Bismuth who was in a position to try to escalate the war.
>>
Continued from >>92843076

Blue Diamond Did it- Some anons are yelling this one hoping to be right in a year or two when it's revealed, but this one would hinge on the show lying to us through Steven. Steven has had empath moments with her; she is legitimately overcome by grief, not *guilt* over Pink's death. They're two separate feelings; to do otherwise would mean the show lied to us, not misdirected. You've cheated the audience in this case, much like how I've talked about how Pearl can't be a double agent. She simply doesn't have the motive to have committed the act.

Yellow Diamond did it- The Trial has firmly established that the accepted story of what happened has holes in it. BD is disqualified because of the above, we know nothing of White Diamond, so the militaristic one trying to sweep this whole matter under the rug, the one who is in charge of the only shown eye-witness, is looking pretty suspicious now. She is a bureaucrat, always obsessed with a scheduling and we've been given no evidence that she is a changed woman opposed to how Blue Diamond is a fucking wreck compared to the cold and callous aristocrat who ordered Our Ruby to be destroyed for what was ultimately her doing her damned job.

Of all the suspects, Yellow has the most motives. Maybe she wanted Earth for the cluster project or some other project from the very start. Maybe if Pink Diamond sympathized with the rebels, that made her a liability to the Authority..

However this also makes her the biggest Red Herring aside from Rose herself.


Rose- Nothing is as it appears, and Rose at the very least did not just kill an important leader in a heated moment during the rebellion which in turn escalated the course of history. Her Weapon cannot shatter gems. She could not have gotten past all of the guards, but then, again, going with the whole "character won't/can't lie during poignant moments with their loved ones" she shoulders a huge cross on her shoulders. Just why is that?

This just makes me feel worse for Jasper and annoyed at how they tossed her to the side for so long again

If YD really did have something to do with PD's murder (most likely covering up WD desu) then that's just fucked up since Jasper has been serving under her from back when the war ended, after being lead on to believe that a fellow Earth gem killed Her. Hell at this point it's possible that PD was secretly helping Rose with the rebellion. Its not like Jasper hasn't suffered and gotten cucked enough already.

Pearl said they fought a 1,000 year war over Earth.

Blue Zircon said that at the time of Pink Diamond's shattering Rose Quartz had been a recognized thread for several hundred years.
I assume Rose had already recruited Garnet by this time, so how many others had she also recruited by the time PD was shattered?

Jasper emerged before the shattering since she was aware of being made for PD and still has loyalties to her.

Bismuth I assume was bubbled before the shattering since she knew nothing about it when she reformed.
She also made all of the weapons for Rose' army, which means Rose already had a sizable force at the time of PD's shattering.

We can assume that PD was the primary enemy of Rose's forces for at least the first half of the 1,000 year war.
Unless of course Rose and Pearl had been fighting a war on their own for who knows how long and were not recognized as a threat until several hundred years had already passed, then a few more hundred years go by with Rose recognized as a threat before the shattering.

So that brings up further questions, where was Rose's army during all of this? Both Rose and PD's forces all seem to be absent at the time of PD's shattering.

Might they have arranged to attempt a negotiation?
>>
>>92834169
She was a rebel. The authority was after her no matter what. She gave up herself to Steven to absolve the crime and allow herself to live on and spread good.
>>
>>92844728

Bismuth would have been bubbled, (but not necessarily hidden in Lion) before the war started; otherwise she would have been bragging to Steven in some capacity about how Rose totally rocked out and killed an evil member of the authority and/or be furious about how Rose shattered a gem only to balk at the use of Breaking Point.

At this point, we have no idea who was actually there anymore. Blue Zircon's defense has undermined the given story entirely. Eyeball--if she is a YD gem and not a Pink Remnant-- cannot be trusted given that she's working for the most likely Murder suspect now, and we don't have confirmation if Garnet or Pearl were there when it happened other than their reactions and Garnet's cryptic statement about how Rose Quartz had to make some hard decisions as a leader.
>>
>>92845348
The point I was making with Bismuth and Jasper is that at the point of PD's shattering, both sides in the conflict had a considerable number of soldiers at their disposal. Bismuth made thousands of material weapons for Rose's army and Jasper was part of the beta kindergarten, an emergency effort to boost PD's forces.

Something is bugging me though.

Blue Diamond has the ability to make other gems cry, regardless of affiliation. I assume she has the ability to make others feel any emotions she feels very strongly and it's just that we've only ever seen her express grief strongly enough for other gems to also feel it.

So if one of the diamonds can make any other gems in her immediate area feel the emotions she feels, what if one of the diamonds had the ability to make gems see what they want them to see or remember what they want them to remember?

It's not a perfect power otherwise Our Ruby would have been dead after their first fusion. Her grief may just be *that* powerful and in general, the Diamonds seem to have an innate control over "lesser" gemstones unless the gems in question display some unusual individualism or strength of will in order to defy them. Sapphire and Peridot both display this when they stand up to their diamonds, and even in the latter's case she clearly tried to stay loyal to YD right up until the end.

If it is possible, however, then signs yet again point to Yellow Diamond. She's clearly tried to move these events in a certain way and there was her song. In general she is very motivated by maintaining strict order, and total control over everything so her having this capacity would not be surprising.

Pearl is without question the best dualist in the CG, she single handedly beat a three way fusion despite the massive strength difference, and that was after millennia without a real fight. She was essentially Rose's personal champion.
Assuming that Pearl was more put together back then, or that PD wasn't one to fight on the front lines, or hell maybe Pearl caught her by surprise, maybe some combination of the of a few factors. After all we have no REAL reason to suppose that Diamonds are any harder to shatter (aside from the acutely beating one part) than a regular Gem.
>>
>>92846506
Everything she did, she did for Rose.

Rose has a mercy weapon and believed that all life is precious, but she doesn't tolerate needless death and Pink Diamond's death turned a rebellion into a *war*. She bubbled one of her closest allies rather than let the Breaking Point see action. Roise considered Pearl 'her' pearl.

Pearl was aghast at the thought of dealing with another war.

Rose Quartz DID NOT order Pearl to kill Pink Diamond. If Pearl entirely acted on her own, she'd have been bubbled; the only possible way this would work is if she attacked PD in defense of Rose during a skirmish intended to go another way but went too far. But even that doesn't have proper context or framing with what we know: like Rose, Pearl could not have gotten that close to PD if she's a known rebel, no matter if she was shapeshifted (can't change her gem color nor it's placement,) ninjaing her way in, (PD had Sapphires,) nor was she working at the behest of another Diamond (see my opening line.)

It's either Rose, but we're missing the context of why she did it, including a greater good scenario that she had no choice but to carry the subsequent weight, or Yellow or White Diamond's scheming against PD (which could still leave Rose be the culprit or *veeeeeeerrrry* unlikely, Pearl herself.)
>>
>>92847344
The show has very pointedly NEVER shown a Pearl shape shift and remember they are supposed to be for mainly aesthetic purposes, having their powers be the the ability to costumize their appearance to their masters needs makes sense. As for Pearl acting on her own she acted really guilty the first time it was brought up, maybe she shattered PD only to immediately regret what she had done, at that point Pearl was essentially RQ's best friend AND a famous member of the rebellion so she I would think Rose would be a bit more forgiving of Pearls one slip up than Bismuth's genocidal bloodlust.
>>
>>92847876
Doesn't matter. A Pearl is a status Gem, something the top brass have, but it's still a gem. The show has repeatedly stressed that gems as a race cannot move their stone placement nor alter it to look differently. While we have only seen... four Pearls nothing has contradicted this in the show, and being able to truly shapeshift doesn't fit the objectification of Pearls.

Pearl's status as a 'famous' rebellion leader means nothing. The bond between Rose and Our Pearl *might* be something that would keep her from being bubbled/punished and we're still missing context of why either she or Rose killed PD, but my point stands. It is incredibly unlikely and out of character that Rose ordered a hit on PD or tried to assassinate her herself, and both she and Pearl have the same difficulty of getting through PD's honor guard without a fight when they are the biggest figures of the rebellion.

And fighting their way to Pink Diamond, even if she was the weakest diamond, by themselves, is impossible when, as rebel leaders, they would have to fight every single member of the court before trying to fight a diamond. This kind of gauntlet simply isn't possible for Rose or Pearl to accomplish when we've seen Pearl's limits in the show. If Rose Conan'd her way through everybody, then this would have been brought up already.
>>
>>92848145
Listen, I'm not saying that this theory doesn't leave a few big question marks. I also don't think that Rose ordered the hit. But there is a lot of weird shit going on with this situation and a lot of it gets explained with this theory and remember at the moment none of our current theories make a lot of sense, if PD was a rebel sympathizer why not go public that would gain way more support then having herself killed or faking her death, if it was WD/YD for reasons other than treachery why kill a Diamond over one planet, and The Trial cast a lot of narrative doubt on Rose killing her while also making a weirdly big point about PD's Pearl besides Pearl may not have changed her gem location at all, she may not have even changed her colour as it's implied something was off about her escort, the only eye witness account was from a Ruby who has been shown to been easily fooled by a shape shifter before. All I'm saying is that most of the problems this theory has are ones of missing information about Pearl (That seems pretty easy for the writers to fill in during a pre-war flash back) while other theories need way more information about WD, Homeworld in general, PD or other thing that the writers have been pretty tight lipped about, and they need way more context.The only Diamonds we know about act like sisters and it's implied the PD was in a similar position with BD. In short I just find our lack of information on pre-war Pearl to be way more suspicious than our lack of information on the pre-shattering Diamonds.
>>
>>92819880
That doesn't work though because the cluster and the gem experiments weren't being worked on until some time after Garnet came to exist. She blames herself for the gem experiments having been created and homeworld most likely didnt have any ideas on creating them until seeing two different gem types fuse.

Pearl could've been a double agent at the time; infiltrate the enemy, get close to the leader, attack her while alone, poof her and present leader. But she turned against her orders and saw the beauty in what they were doing. Our Pearl is still an anomaly; super strength, sand manipulation, item storage, holograms, capable of interfacing with advanced gem tech. If anything this all proves she's a capable assassin that's meant to progress with the times.
>>
>>92844559
During her reformation, that's about it. She could just have a diminished capability to shapeshift, she is a pearl after all.
