I feel the reason bismuth is upset for building for home world but not for herself is the same for a variety of artist. bumith was making things specificity for other important gems on how they wanted it. chances are that if there was something wrong or something the important gem didn't like they would blame bismuth. while on eath bismuth is building thing she wants in her way for a wide variety of gems.

[@mustachetwirler7617]

Ok, I still don’t really believe for certain that this Bismuth was the one responsible for causing Lapis Lazuli’s imprisonment in the mirror. I never saw Lapis retaliate against her or distrust her, or even have a social development arc of the two making amends together (instead we waste our time with Watermelon Stevens). Lazuli didn’t even flinch upon seeing Bismuth in Reunited. But if this Bismuth is the one who did so (and not just Rebecca Sugar saying she did so, I mean a fully written, fully animated flashback of our Bismuth punching Lazuli in the back without being concealed in shadow), I have a theory that the two new Lapis antagonists in Steven Universe Future have ambitions of avenging their fallen kin against her and Peridot. Also I would have liked Bismuth to have just one more character arc episode as I felt her reintroduction into Ruby and Sapphire’s wedding was a bit abrupt. Edit: Ignore the comment above, the episode Why So Blue answered my previous assumptions and justified Crystal Gem Bismuth’s motivations and how she was able to do so (Lapis Lazulis during era 1 not only terraform, but also take pleasure in doing so wether they are aware of the damage they do or not, and they seem to be amateurs at using hydrokenisis, as Crystal Gem Lapis inadvertently taught the “nice” Lazuli and “mean” lazuli more effective ways to weaponize their power over water despite the three of them being around for such a long time)

[@GingerChic87]

Thank you. I keep saying a bismuth not our bismuth. Like honestly why does everyone think it’s ours if lapis didn’t have a reaction from seeing her? Or even in the movie? They freakin hug! I don’t think it was our bismuth but one with the same placement.

[@mustachetwirler7617]

GingerChic87 I know right!? The development in relationship between our Bismuth and Lazuli did not go down the way the Barn Mates episode went between Lazuli and Peridot. Like Lazuli was obviously in dismay and hatred upon seeing Peridot so ignorantly and arrogantly barging in and claiming to easily make best friends, despite the fact that Peridot originally interrogated Lapis back when serving the regime (and when I think of interrogations in a tyrannical regime, I think of the torture chambers). Unlike other viewers of Barn Mates, I felt it was totally natural for Lazuli to retaliate against Peridot who I felt was so carelessly sweeping her dark past under the rug. So then Peridot would have to lean the hard way when it came to making amends to her former hostage for being so close-minded at the time. Yet when Bismuth not only shows up in front of Lapis, but also breaks up her hug with Steven (yes, it was because there were high stakes involved with Blue Diamond not wanting to go down like the Wicked Witch of the East), Lapis doesn’t make any startled or angered faces at Bismuth and even happily aides her in the fight alongside everyone also against Blue and Yellow. I know that Peridot’s positive morals is to put the past behind you. But even if Peridot taught Lapis to put the past behind her, it still feels unnatural for Lapis Lazuli to be so calm and accepting to our Bismuth for punching her in the back and causing her thousands of years of suffering, unless our Bismuth was NOT the Bismuth responsible for doing so. And it really was when Bismuth, Peridot and Lapis hugged each other like a loving family that made me believe that there could hardly be any way our Bismuth was responsible.

[@JaneDoe-yy6hs]

@@mustachetwirler7617 I believe Rebecca confirmed it actually WAS our Bismuth though. It's just that neither really recognizes the other, and even then, Lapis's trauma didn't come from being poofed, it came from being put in the mirror and then everything that followed.

[@Shayhammowolf]

.... I am afraid it is. Rebecca confirmed it is.

[@mustachetwirler7617]

Shay HammoWolf I know that, and I still find it difficult to beleive. Yet on the other hand that could give the two Lazulis in Steven Universe Future one of a few motivations to be antagonists.

[@kateancharn4202]

I feel like the low melting point could be why Bismuth is so vocal and immediate with her emotions. Like, we saw her bouncing from one emotion to another very quickly and she showed each and every one of them in very deep and very clear terms. It could also be why she has a, ah.... short fuse shall we say.

[@iceluvndiva21]

I find it appropriate that she went back to making buildings. She's a creative and the community needs her. She can still make weapons and weapon upgrades in her spare time. So I'm ok with how her character was handled Also I honestly didn't really have an issue with rosepink proofing and bubbling her. *Now lying about that? Yeah I have a serious problem with that.* The problem here is bismuth wasn't going to listen to ANYONE but herself on this topic. A trait that is incredibly lethal if taken too far. Rosepink herself was probably reminded of white& Yellow diamond in that moment because white wouldn't listen to anyone but herself on anything and yellows first reaction is poofing or shattering a gem no matter how small the supposed slight. Hell even yellow zircon who didn't do anything wasn't safe. not even blue, a fellow diamond was safe from yellow or white. So I can see why Rosepink would poof and bubble bismuth as a sort of gem equal to a "tme out" or "go stand in the corner and think about what you said/did" or "you're grounded" The problem is that while this weapon would end the oppressors life? It wouldn't solve the real problem or fix the system. It just left the slot open for someone else to take. like say Jasper, emerald, aquamarine, pyrobe, ect. Killing the daimonds isn't any different than the daimonds corrupting the gems. Its still a simple story term solution for a complicated long term problem. I think deep down? Rosepink knew that. She knew this wasn't the answer hence why she bubbled bismuth.

Well depending on how you define that term I'd say yes and no. She was definitely a homeworld gem sent to earth, though in her flashback episodes, Lapis states, she just came for a visit, not to actively participate in the war (especially because Lapis' purpose on homeworld wasn't that of a fighter gem but a terraforming one for the construction of colonies).

[@addiewest6070]

​@Edward GleeClub i would have been funnier if not :,(

[@SakuraLovesong]

⁠​⁠@@ProminenceSmash9Peridot’s power is not magnetism, it’s ferrokinesis (as labeled in “Save the Light” and “Unleash the Light”). She controls all types of metals in a telekinetic fashion as opposed to manipulating their magnetic fields to attract them. This is backed up by the fact that she manipulated soda cans which are mostly made of aluminum (which, under most circumstances, is non-magnetic) in “Made of Honor”, “Reunited”, and “Unleash the Light”. However, I feel like, in universe, all Gems are treated as gems regardless of whether or not they are in real life (i.e. Lapis being an actual stone whereas most gems are not really stones at all) so Bismuth is not considered in the show to actually be made of metal. Even said, Peridot did make Bismuth fly using her Ferrokinesis at the end of Future, however, Bismuth was wearing her battle armor which was likely what Peridot was manipulating. I could be wrong about Bismuth (the character) not being considered to be made of metal in universe though, in which case, Peridot should be able to levitate her without her armor and we only see Peridot levitating her with her armor because this wasn’t a casual thing and Bismuth was wearing it for protection because kaiju fight. We never really did get much of a chance to see the two interact casually unfortunately.

[@shadow_man_exe4727]

being an element means that its properties change when in contact with other elements. this is why it can be used in gun powder and medication, the pure element will change abilities and properties will change when combined with other elements. Salt is a great example of this because sodium explodes in contact with water, yet without salt we'd all die and sodium is in salt. chloride is also dangerous on its own yet that is also in salt. it stabilizes sodium's volatile nature. Elements are like legos of different shapes. depending on what ones you use, you can make anything you want in many different ways with many different uses.

I am undoubtedly late to the party for this, but Diamonds are also an elemental crystal of pure carbon. while dopant impurities, commonly nitrogen for yellow and boron for blue, are most often responsible for coloration in diamonds, it is also possible to color pure carbon diamonds via particle beams, electron beams can do this nicely for surface color alteration after cutting, or through certain pressure alterations that make their structure refract a specific wavelength internally (not terribly common) so Bismuth is not the only elemental gem even as of her introduction.
