Hi, I love your idea and art. But one question worries me, if White had a "motherly" love for Pink, then she wouldn't be afraid that during the final diamond attack, Pink could be corrupted? Did this event not happen?

It did happen.

White is not a god, she is not omnipresent and omniscient.

Just because she was present in Pink's life during the rebellion, does not change the fact that she didn't witness everything that was happening on Earth.

As far as she knew back then, Pink Diamond was gone.

Steven glared at the crying sapphire with no emotions as he used his tail to gently pick up ruby gem, before grabbing it "now listen here, sapphire..." Steven started as he made sure sapphire was listening to him "you have two opinions... First is we can stop this stupid war. Second is that I shatter every gem here while you watch, before I make you watch Ruby get poofed until she is beg to be shattered cause I wonder, who'll break first... You or her" he threatened her as he used his tail to move sapphire hair out of her eye, so she could clearly look into his own pink eyes, while his pink eyes pierced into her blue eye.

Sapphire was tumbling in terror as she couldn't think since she was overwhelmed with everything that was happening from pink diamond before a monster, ruby getting poofed, the whole war coming to a freeze all because of pink diamond transformation.

"hurry up and choose..." Steven suddenly said as he brought Ruby gem in front of her face and squeezed it, making her eye widened as it started to crack.

"RUBY" Sapphire scream is horror as she watched Ruby almost get shattered before she very eyes "P-please stop, I-i surrender..." she cried in defeat.

Steven looked at her as he placed her down on ground before she dropped to her knees crying "...let's go. Now" he said as he disabled the bubble around them as he turned around and started to walk back to his side of the battlefield with a defeated sapphire following behind him.

Steven and sapphire walked up to Yellow diamond as he disabled the bubble around everyone who was caught up in the explosion "s-steve-" yellow started but Steven had cut her off.

"give me your commutator" Steven told her, making her look at him and at the sapphire crying behind him, before she nodded and give him her commutator.

Steven had activated the commutator and made it so it had displayed a live video feed for everyone to hear and see.

Everyone looked up and the screen in fear as they was met with Steven piercing pink eyes glaring at them "listen up. This pathetic war is over" he said such a way that his words was absolute "homeworld gems, drop your weapons and go back to homeworld" he ordered them before he gave the commutator to sapphire.

"c-crystal gems..." Sapphire tried to stop crying the best she could "the w-war is done. Th-this is an order, drop your weapon and leave this planet" she told them, trying to keep her voice from breaking before Steven took the commutator from her.

"If anyone tries anything, I'll shatter them" Steven said before he broke the commutator, glaring down at sapphire who had flinched under his glare "take this and get out of my sight" he said giving Ruby broken gem to sapphire, who had hugged it for dear life as she turned around and walked away.

Everything and everyone was quiet as they slowly separated from each other, going to where they belong as the only people left was the Diamonds.

Yellow and Blue was looking down at Steven as he was motionless the whole time "S-steven..." Blue called out, making Steven slowly turn around the look at them "a-are you okay?" She asked him softly.

Steven looked down at his hand, seeing his pink skin and the claws on each of his fingers "yeah... I'm fine" Steven said as he looked at Pearl gem before undoing the bubble, making sure to grab her gem before it felled onto the ground.

It was as if Pearl knew that it was Steven who was holding her gem because soon her gem started to glow brightly, floating in the air just before she had reformed.

Pearl landed on the ground and quickly pulled out her spear ready to fight and protect her diamond again, but she looked around and saw that there was no war going on "w-what happened?" She said confused.

"pearl, are you okay" Steven asked her.

Pearl tense up as the voice and quickly turned around, before her eyes widened in shock and terror as she was met face to face with an pink monster that was almost a head taller then her, she was about to strike at it but noticed it pink skin, the same pink that came from her Diamond's bubble "m-my diamond?" She asked it worried.

"yeah..." Steven said seeing the confusion and terror on her face, but his eyes widened as he noticed one of her eyes was completely white with cracks forming from it.

"w-what happened... That form... The war... H-how long was I poofed my Diamond!?" Pearl asked him worried as she looked at the fangs coming from his mouth, his pink eyes, sharp claws, and the large tail that came from his back as she started to wonder if it been days, weeks, months... Years since she was poofed.

"enough" Steven suddenly said making her tense up and salute "your eye, can you see out of it?" He asked making Pearl gasp.

"n-no I can't" Pearl said as she was so worried about her diamond, she didn't even notice that she couldn't see out her left eye.

"don't move" Steven said walking to her and licked his finger before gently running it over her gem, watching it glow but nothing happened, causing his eyes to widened as this was the first time his healing power didn't work "w-why isn't it working?" He asked worried and tried again but nothing happened.

Steven stared down at his hands, perplexed, just as the sounds of glass cracking drew Yellow, Blue, and Pearl's attention to him, shortly before his pink skin began to crack and shattered, revealing Steven's actual human body as he was back to normal.

"Steven!?" Blue gasp.

"My Diamond, Are you okay!?" Pearl asked him worried

"I-im fine" Steven told them as he looked back at Pearl, not understanding what was happening but he turned towards his ship "let's go, we're are done here" he stated as he started to walk back to his ship but everything had hit him all at once, making him drop to his knees and started to throw up blood while also pouring from his nose.

"STEVEN" Yellow, Blue, and Pearl screamed in horror as they watched Steven collapse in front of them, in a pool of his own blood.

Steven Universe Future: Pink State Analysis (Growing Pains) Part 2

This post continues where part 1 left off.

After Priyanka agrees to perform tests on Steven to see if he's suffering from a human-related illness, Connie leaves the room to wait (and call Greg as well since she pulls out her phone as soon as she walks away). Priyanka then proceeds to take his temperature (through his ear) and first finds that he has a mild fever. However, Steven, feeling uncomfortable by this begins to glow pink again, which she also takes notes of. Priyanka then checks his heartbeat and puts her stethoscope on his gem, to which she hears a whirring noise coming from it.

However, when Priyanka tries to take his bloodpressure, Steven’s arm fluncuates again, which destroys the strap for the monitor, which she takes as him having high blood pressure.

Priyanka then asks who Steven's general practitioner is, and upon learning he's never been to the doctor, Priyanka raises her voice before speaking in a calmer tone to help Steven relax before mentioning that she'll be discussing that with Greg (which foreshadows the next episode). The moment where Priyanka speaks in quiet voice and that helping Steven calm down also shows how the pink state can be neturalized when people are more calm around him.

Steven then gets even more uncomfortable when Priyanka mentioning running more tests on Steven (showing how he's put off by this whole experience) and then gets handed a hospital gown to change into.

Steven then glows pink again when Priyanka checks his tongue for swelling or sore throat, his height fluncuates when she's measuring his height (and taking his weight at the same time), and then his neck extends towards the ceiling when she's re-measuring and recording his height.

Steven's knee instinctively bubbles itself, momentarily trapping Priyanka's hand when she's testing his reflexes. This is due to how Steven's body misinterpretted this is some sort of attack it needs to protect Steven from.

Finally, she takes Steven's x-ray, which show Steven's size fluncuations again as the sleeves of gown come right up to his hands when he's holding a lead apron during the process.

When going over the x-rays, Priyanka shows the differences in skeletons of the two sides of Steven's family, his human half and gem half. The human skeleton appears exactly like one would expect a male skeleton to look like.

However, when shows the x-rays of the Crystal Gems, which they agreed to do for research purposes, their gemstones are the only thing visible on the screen (except for food and other items eaten for Amethyst's x-ray). This is due to gems not having a physical body since they're hard light constructs.

However, when showing Steven's skeleton, despite the numerous fractures, every bone is still in alignment, to which she suspects that bones healed themselves before Steven could suffer any serious injuries.

This scene not only shows the differences between Steven and both gems and humans when it comes to their x-rays, but also how Steven stands out in contrast to both species. Unlike humans, who would suffer severe injuries or outright die after taking hits to the skull, Steven's body can heal it's injuries not matter how severe. And unlike gems, Steven also has an actual skeleton that still shows his own gemstone embedded into his navel.

While Steven interprets the instant healing of his body as a positive, Priyanka suggests that he still might've suffered trauma in spite of that. When Steven asks if that means there's something wrong with his brain, Priyanka reassures him that his brain isn't damaged (once again calming him enough to dissipate his pink state) but still tells him that experiencing childhood trauma could still have a lasting impact when comes to reacting to stress.

She goes onto explain how cortisol (the stress hormone) works when humans react to a crisis. She then theorizes how the pink state could be a gem equivalent of cortisol. Priyanka asks if Steven remembers anything traumatic that happened in his childhood. Steven begins listing off the trouble that he got into during his gem-related escapades throughout the original show before stopping when Priyanka reacts with shock again. Steven either downplays his issues again or doesn't consider anything he just listed to be seen as anything serious as they are taken here.

As Priyanka goes onto to explain how all of Steven's traumatic memories have affected his ability to respond to stress more healthily, Steven continues to ruminate on said memories before stopping when he flashes back to the moment White Diamond removed his gem, becoming more disturbed as he does so, showing that this is first time he's treated his issues as something of actual concern.

Priyanka then explains how because Steven's dealt with actual world-ending danger when he was younger, he now interprets even minor stressors as a big deal. While this does explain Steven's breakdowns throughout the series so far, I believe this could also explain Steven's longing to a fill a void in his life that has been seen as well. Since he had grown accustomed to helping end these major catastrophes, he doesn't know how to properly adjust to life now that there aren't any to resolve anymore.

Steven asks why he's only having problems dealing with this now (which was a question I had been asking at the time of this episode first premiering as well). Priyanka explains how stress is less harmful with a support group and wonders if maybe Steven could be losing them or if he recently experienced anything stressful, which she doesn't even get through saying before Steven flashes back to the proposal last episode and experiences more size fluncuations as a result of being triggered by this.

First off all, when Priyanka mentions how Steven's been losing his support group, she is referring to how Steven feels that everyone will abandon him since they don't need his help anymore, and how he's refusing to let them know how he's feeling since he still feels that he would be burdening them with his concerns. Second of all, Steven interpretting the failed proposal as a stressful experience shows how he feels he blew his chances with Connie having anything to do with him since he feels he made himself look a like a fool doing so.

May I ask when Pink faked her own shattering did White Diamond change and stay by her side during the rest of the rebellion and diamond blast l. Did she genuinely cared about Pink or Rose or the earth, the other crystal gems or Steven. Did she have a plan to bring Steven back to homeword

Who said Pink faked her own shattering?

[matt-the-radar-techncian]

Had a conversation about this yesterday and it made me kind of wonder. If pink was given the ultimatum by white about the colonization of Earth and was locked away for thousands of years, could she have become like phosphophyllite from houseki no kuni, who I heard is pretty similar to pink and seems to became a villain because of the realization of everybody didn't care about them. without any further spoilers about what their story is, I'm going to say that what they went through is more tragic than pink/Rose tragedy that arguably makes her bittersweet ending, giving up her life to have Steven, look happy in comparison

I haven't read past the anime for Land of the Lustrous but I have heard that it gets quite a bit darker in the later chapters and I am excited to read it at some point

But yeah depending on how you look at it, Rose's life ends with her seemingly having achieved her dream, being able to live freely on Earth, free of the control of the other Diamonds, and she dies peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. But you have to remember her state of mind during all of this. Being able to end the war for Earth came at the cost of countless gems, many of whom she was probably close with too. She probably felt responsible for the suffering of every shattered or corrupted gem on Earth. (That may be why she and the other Crystal Gems were so focused on finding and bubbling all the corrupted gems and collecting stray gem shards, since Rose wanted to end their suffering, and maybe even look for a way to help them.) On top of that, she wasn't really even able to talk about it with anyone because of her hidden identity. The amount of guilt she felt must've been incredible, and having to just pretend that it just didn't exist would have made her "happy" life on Earth feel disgustingly hollow. It is definitely a happy ending on the surface, but there's more to it than that
