Rhodonite's History of Abuse Under Morganite!? - Steven Universe Wanted Character Analysis/Theory!

[@ThornMu]

Rebecca's recent interview reveals that 'my' is a term used in Gem society only to refer to one's superiors.This is why it is so important that Pink/Rose refers to Pearl as "My Pearl" because that is a phrase that would NEVER be said in their society due to Pearl's low status. So, for Rhodonite, I think this is less a case of confusing 'our' for 'my' and more a case of going to their trained phrase for how to refer to their superior.

@@mageofdoomsie1598 that would be nice, but doesn't change how frustrating that the show keeps creating interesting characters and then never following through on exploring them and then giving us pointless filler instead. I still love the show and part of the blame is on Cartoon Network, but come on THREE YEARS.

[@mageofdoomsie1598]

Kat Guthrie Sugar explained that there was a lot they wished they could do but their deadlines and schedules and people from higher up wouldn’t allow at the time. Plus there’s only so much you can put into a 11 minute episode, and when you’re only allowed to make a certain amount of episodes due to a contract, you gotta make it work somehow. Edit: also don’t forget that Sugar also had no control over what happened. If someone from higher up said to scrap a certain plot point in favor of another for money, she can’t argue against it and will have to make it. Remember the episode “Hey Uncle”, that was not her idea, that was someone from corporate who said that a non canon, filler crossover episode would bring in lots of money.

[@colleenriordan9734]

I think she said "our," because Rhodinite never belonged to Morganite, meaning "my" would have been inappropriate. However, since Ruby and Pink Pearl technically belonged to her individually, "our" would be appropriate in this case.

[@anothernerdontheinternet]

I like the fact that Rhodonite's eyes look weird and her 2 pair of arms look different from eachother, probably representative of her insecurity, similar to the one Garnet felt when she first fused.

[@graydarksilver3299]

Do you think there's a possibility of Rhodonite have the same transformation like Garnet when she grew more comfortable and adjusted with herself/fusion? She looks fine but still kinda like a mess like Garnet once was, such as it could be possible for Rhodonite to just be more comfortable and have little changes. Examples of minor change could maybe just turn to be hair style, bits of clothing, and so on. I sound like I hate the way she looks but I'm just curious if she too can look a little different because it happened to Garnet herself.

Garnet does it though like multiple times. Saying “me, I mean us” “We didn’t want you meeting us like this” “Aw Steven we already love you” “I embody my.. I mean ruby and sapphire’s...”

[@daishar8647]

DJ Howard I think she does that when she’s knowingly distinguishing herself/themselves. Garnet loves Steven, but she was telling him that Sapphire and Ruby love him to, because they aren’t the same person and she wanted I’m to know it wasn’t just garnet that love him. Same with the other examples. Even though she’s comfortable as garnet and at peace, she acknowledges that there are two halves of her.

[@Venus_0978]

I like to think Garnet does that to differentiate between herself and Ruby and Sapphire. She thinks of herself as a different entity (see: "I am their fury, I am their patience, I am a conversation" - Stronger Than You), so when Garnet says we, our or us I think she means Ruby and Sapphire as separate entities.

[@orionsarrow1025]

A great diamond... _alternative._ Morganite may be a replacement for Pink Diamond. Not like a solid replacement for making decisions or standing in authority, but a placeholder to keep her court or (excuse the term) armies in line rather than passing them off to another diamond. So instead of PD's Pearl being given to YD, she would be given to serve Morganite. Just a thought :)

[@ravendraws4094]

Whoa, now that's a good idea! That would explain a lot in the show!

[@justamon2281]

Saying My Diamond shows respect from one inferior gem to a superior one. Like saying your honor to a judge, I think the Pearl part of Rhodinite instinctively said My morganite, but because they no longer serve under her they switched to saying our to emphasize that fact. Earths Pearl has the same issue when it comes to mentioning diamonds.

um, I think you're REALLY overthinking that first point. when Rhodonite says "our" she's referring to her components when split because that's who was owned by the Morganite. the Morganite technically did not have a Rhodonite, so Rhodonite wouldn't say "my" when referring to her former Morganite. She started off saying "my" because that's what she's become used to now.

[@Lovesickobsession19]

when she says "when my-" Ruby's eyes are the prominent ones, but when she says "our" it looks like the Pearl is the one who is correcting her. It's almost as if Pearl is reminding Ruby that they are no longer in Morganite's service.

I think "My Morganite" simply reflects the pearl part of Rhodonite, after all we have seen blue and yellow pearls addressing their masters as "My diamond". This would mean that the slave mentality imposed upon this pearl is so strong that it still comes out in such a stable fusion and contributes to my belief that your theory about Morganite being quite a brutal master is correct.

[@animationpineapple327]

In the real world Morganite is a Beryl along with Aquamarine and Emerald. So in the show I believe there is something called a Beryl Elite like Quartz Soldiers. After all Aquamarine acts and is portrayed by Pearl as an elite, and if Emerald says "There were 67 elite Citrines guarding it!" she is most likely an elite as well as it does not make sense for her to own a ship that lower class gems would be guarding. Quartzes can also be elites, but only certain types in the show like Agates and Citrines.

I can't see the show as it is but instead see an above average show that's so overrated that no-one can see all the flaws the show has

[@etvenus_]

Jay 12 they're gems why would they be religious? Lol and the off colored gems ARE "disabled"

[@anothernerdontheinternet]

Jay 12 i agree on everything except the not liking of thevshow and the lgbt themes being there just to grab attention, i really like this show but as you said, it's overrated, it does not always succed at what it wants to do, some episodes are average and epsode like the Ronakdo ones are so annoying to watch, i personally did not feel like the plot was going to go where it is now in the first 3 seasons cause in the first 3 seasons every arc had a predictable formula of a new threat of homeworld going to earth but the crystal gems manage to save the day anyways by either defeating the homeworld gem or reedeming them, season 4 has actually the best plot episodes the shiw has si far along with the wanted special and the animation can sonetimes be so inconsistant to the point it gets annoying and i can't describe a character's physical appearence cause it literally changes every episode, but looking beyond all that, the show sometimes touches on mature themes and makes them nderstandable for both kids and adults alike, the show develops it's characters so well, probably with just the exception of Lapis and some of the human characters so far, but i personally feel like that will be fixed soon, but the point is that this development makes fans relate to the characters and feel for them more than in many shows and as i said the plot has been so much better lately and it seems like we are heading near the end, and as for your other statement i have to disagree on that, i personally feel like the crewniverse is making a show that feels personal to them and thus why there are LGBT characters, Rebecca Sugar is bisexual herself, but there is more to the show's appeal other than LGBT themes as i said before and there are characters whi do not necessarily are gay, bisexual or Lesbian and are beloved by people who watch the show cause of how relatable they are and how they get major development in the show like Amethyst and how depressed she gets in season 3 and in the season 2 episode "Too Far" knowing that she is defective and that she is not as strong as other gems and she as well as the other gems and Greg are dealing with the fact that Rose is gone in a way and that she felt bad in season 1 for that reason because she just has Garnet and Pearl other than Steven now and they look at her as childlish and she is always fighting with Pearl, to the point she has ti disguise herself and beat up people who are weaker than her to feel strong, but she does not need that now, or Peridot who started out as one of the first big threats from homeworld to the crystal gems and then she got stuck on earth cause of their fault and becaje a goofy villain until she was captured and then she was released but was weaker than everybody else and so she had to adapt herself to where she was now and try to get along with the people that she was forced to ally with for a greater good until she eventually accepted her current situation and realized how corrupted and irrational her idol was and that earth was a place where she could be herself and did not have to obey rules that made her look weak and did not consider as an indivitual she now views her old foes as friends and even though she had lost confidence in herself for some time she now has regained it discovering her powers and found out she still has a lot to learn a lot about earth and herself and was not as smart as she thought, or even Steven himself and how in many ways his character breaks the steriotype of the fact that being asocciated with pink, expressing his emotions and crying is seen as something feminine, childlish or only for people who are weak, in this show that is not the case and Steven has solved more problems talking than the geks have solved fighting, all that along with the development he has gotten so far is anazing, and the show also has beautiful backgrounds so that's a plus. But i think you are wrong in the show not having much diversity and not exploring other issues people have cause Lars is Filipino, Connie's family is indian, ect. And Lapis pretty much is a parallel to people with PTSD and Pearl has self steam issues and i think it is ok to say she also has ocd and all of this cause of her time spent as a servant. This is not my favorite show and it certainly has it's flaws but i think it is far above average and people do not only love it for LGBT themes, this is all my opinion though so it is ok if you disagree.

I honestly really like the idea of Rhodonite representing a relationship in which the two are supports during a frightening event. It shows just how deep the Crewniverse looked into how different relationships are formed.

[@tillie6298]

How Rhodonite will unfuse She is on earth with Lars and the other of-colours when morganite walks past as she is on earth for a vacation She notices Rhodonite and looks at her with disgust as she is not used to cross gem fusion Rhodonite sees her and hides behind flouride Morganite says “it’s you that pearl and ruby I replaced” Pearl and ruby have an argument whilst fused ruby says to stand up to her while pearl says not to They un-fuse

[@alicia9410]

Wow

[@JustJayGray]

i’m not sure if this was addressed yet or not, but morganite is a type of aquamarine. this can help us put her ranking into perspective in terms of “gem eliteness”

[@kiwi5359]

I actually want to see garnet and rhodonite fuse like really badly pls fuse

[@tourmaline9990]

Sofea Iman Mohd Sadzwan that would be close to sardonyx i imagine.

[@Maxx-ni5zh]

Did I just find a bootleg version of the roundtable

[@emilysuggs3998]

Yes

[@blushbunni3]

Legit what I thought. When I clicked I thought it was the roundtable. Then I saw that art and was like "oh a different Artist" and then I look and was like oh-

[@ThatGurlXD-ti6zr]

‘Gems in the show and our world differ’ So real gems don’t turn into people? I’ve been screaming at my moms ring to form for nothing?

[@roottruthseeker]

What if bismuth sabotaged roses sword and made it a shattering tool which wasn't discovered until it met pink diamonds gem.

[@creeksidestudiospodcastchannel]

roottruthseeker That seems plausable

[@Sssuneshine9]

But remember Steven hitting bismuth with the sword and she poofed so I doubt it. And I know bismuth didn't have time to change it back because she was poofed by rose too and bismuth herself even said it never shatters a gem's gem, only their physical form.

[@weebleflufflycakes7238]

😂😂😂

[@LazyAndFabulous]

Nah this theory can be debunked, because if you watch carefully when Steven discovered Rose (Pearl) shatter PD, rose (Pearl) immidietly show PD's Gem...so no

[@luxraygaming7368]

Seeing comments like this is funny now that we know that pink diamond faked her own shattering and was rose the whole time

[@mckenziepittser6382]

I love how you used the real world equivalent for morganite. When I theorise for su I often use the real world version for backup evidence. Because the description for the spiritual use is often the gem’s personal similarities. Like rhodonite is used for purpose of expelling anxiety, which is quite funny considering how anxious she is.

[@monstergirlinc8707]

I love how so many characters in this show have many different layers. Rhodonite having a backstory of abuse, Jasper being not as bad, steven questioning if rose was justified in shattering pink diamond, etc... That is what I love so much about this show.

[@father270]

i feel like rhodenite said "my morganite" as the pearl side of herself and then to get back to unity corrected herself to our.

[@majakokon662]

When you realize that rhodonite have a ruby on a stomach and the one ruby have a gem on stomach....... NAVY?!!

[@FrozenFruit976]

what happens if two gems who have their gem in the same place fuse?

[@HaruBonny]

Mmmmh... Matt Burnett said that when two gems with the same gem placement fuse their gems are one next to the other but never actually confirmed it, saying that the show hasn't gotten to that point and that the story could change about it. Maybe the gems fuse, it would be cool

[@jazzyjazz9643]

Florite has multiple gems in the same place, though, like on her chest and forehead.

[@gregoryhandevidt662]

All time a space are ripped apart. Either that or thier gems mix and actually make a new gem gem instead of thier body being reffered to as the gem?

[@izzyscherubsxo]

The only difference would be size, however the colour could change in shades?

[@coolie.joolie]

I thought Sapphire and Ruby had their gem in the same place but it was on separate hands on Garnet

[@ITACHISwhitetigirl]

I really dig this theory! and it also kind of explains why Rhodonite's appearence looks unstable: remember that the better the relationship between the component gems, the more stable looking is the resulting appearance of the fusion; if she is supposed to be a fusion by choice, why isn't her appearance more stable-looking? always wondered that... thank you for your insight on that! ❤

[@treymorgan8797]

I think another reason rhodonite might be so scared is because she's part pearl. With the exception of blue, all the Pearl's we've seen seem to be anxious and quick to get scared or unsettled. Yellow might not show fear directly but she seems to get scared whenever someone upsets her diamond like what happened with peridot and the look of worry on her face in rose quartz's trial when zircon starts spouting stuff off in defense.

[@dead_meme_queen9200]

She is so cute and perinoid

[@iceluvndiva21]

@JessaPlays MC "The Answer"

[@creaturetapped]

I think you can interpret the 'my' being replaced w/ 'our' in a few ways. I really like the idea that it's part of her wanting to say 'my Morganite' out of respect, but changes it because she's not her Pearl/Ruby anymore, she Rhodonite. My first idea was that she preferred singular stuff, but Gem society drilled into her head that fusion is wrong+gross, so she ended up thinking of herself as two separate gems that should be fused but are but still for sure feeling like one person? Not sure if that makes sense, but yeah. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

[@penelopegreene]

Pearls are apex servants. Rubes are considered common "cannon-fodder". Rubies are instilled with the idea that they exist collectively, and not to dwell on their individual lives. THIS was a scandal indeed, even greater than Garnet's.

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

If Morganites are anything like Agates, than it is entirely possible that the Pearl and Ruby that make up Rhodonite were physically and mentally abused by their former master. If Agates like Holly Blue are able to get away with treating those beneath them as badly as Holly treated the Quartz gems in her power, than Morganite would be able to do this without a problem.

[@nuggetthecatplaylist]

Love you so much love you theories such a big fan

[@iseeyou4622]

I am from the future and pink pearl was hypnotized by white diamond

[@drewcoleman1158]

What I like about Rhodonite is how by covering up one pair of eyes she can be showing 2 completely different thought processes, like you can literally see what her pearl half and ruby half are both thinking at a time.

[@AshleenWoods]

Very enjoyable video. I also think it's interesting how whereas Garnet's changed her color scheme to be more organized and less sporadic (as compared to their first fusion.) Rhodonite's hair and color scheme still feels very quickly put together (almost like one they re-fused, it was in a hurry and has been permanent ever since. If that makes sense.)

[@yahrell1503]

great job and thanks for your great videos,, i got a bit inspired by them so i began to analize a little doubt i had (i dont know if this is the right place to put this but i wanted to know what you think), what was the porpouse of the rose quartz type of gem soldier since we already have seen several soldier gems types (rubies, jaspers, saphires, emeralds?, topaz) and although all of them fall in the same category each one has their distinctive characteristics for general porpouse(ruby), "power corps" (topaz), assault (jasper, saphire) and so i think i figured out what type of soldier rose was designed to be and that is a battlefield doctor and these are my reasons 1- she has a big onstitution, she is quite strong maybe stronger than Garnet (she stopped the fortune wheel at max speed) which allows her to withstand the inclemencies of the battlefield 2 - she has the ability to float and hover is the air giving her a better mobility and a better view of the battlefield letting her to pinpoint where she is needed in a short ammount of time 3- her summon weapon is a shield insted of an offensive waepon (her sword was made by bismuth and cannot be summoned, is stored) 4- she can create sentry units (magical moss, watermelon stevens) in order to make a safe zone where to treat the injuried gems 5- she ca heal gems with her magical tears 6- she was designed (maybe) with the natural empathy for life so she could risk going to dagerous places to recover and protect comrades 7- and recalling what peridot said homeworld was already running low on resources to make new soldiers (reafirmed by how they made the beta kindergarden) so by that train of thought it is " cheaper to make a unit that can recover, repair, heal other already existing gems than to spend a greater amount of resources into creating new ones which is a good invesment since we already know that a single rose quartz was able to maintain a smal army all by herself. But they just made her way too empathetic with life and thats why she began or agreed with the rebelion. So what do you think?

[@itselena43]

I love how this episode shows how "different gems" are treated differently just like in our world. cause the gem with the two heads has what we call a "birth defect" and the ruby is what we call "slow".

[@blackpinku7386]

I think there are higher positions than The Diamonds in Steven Universe. (One of them is Morganite)

[@sagereliford4920]

What if after pink diamond was shatter pink pearl went to Morganite

[@HaruBonny]

Silas Reliford But if she's Pink Diamond's Pearl then why her gem is on her chest and not belly? Uff, why don't you guys just accept that she's just another Pink Pearl belonged to another pink gem? Pink Diamond isn't the only pink gem in the galaxy

[@amihiroshi576]

People just don't get it huh if rhodonites pearl was pink diamonds pearl her gem placement would have been on her stomach this one is on her chest so

[@HaruBonny]

Amy dean am You're right. But people are too engulfed with their theories and thoughts to actually pay attention to the details and listen to what an episode actually says.

[@WinterC773]

Edit: While rewatching the moon episode saw the depiction of Pink Diamond again, now I get why people are mentioning the stomach issue. Unlike the two diamonds we have seen, Pink has her diamond on her stomach, so yes, if she had belonged to Pink Diamond and then was switched under Morganite after PD was shattered, the Pearl would be the stomach gem, not the ruby. I was wondering that, since the other two Diamond's Pearl's have their gems on their chest. Not sure why everyone is saying it can't be Pink Diamond's Pearl since the gem isn't on the stomach. Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl definitely have their gems on their chest and not stomach? I do think the chest gem makes sense since the diamonds we know also have their gems on their chests, so having the Pearl's gem placement match seems significant.

[@HaruBonny]

Anne Noremac She isn't Pink Diamond's Pearl because Rhodonite clearly said in the episode that her owner was a Morganite and never mentioned a Diamond.

I enjoy the design of Rhodonite's character, and wish we'll learn more about her story in the future.

[@bi-bibabyblue9649]

I’m also convinced that morganite was definitely a part of pink diamonds ‘crew’ or whatever. And after Pink was ‘shattered’ she just abused every lower class gem, cause she didn’t have pink to warn her.

[@a1steaksauce339]

I think she said it in reverse because she still saw herself as wrong and didn’t have her confidence yet

[@khionebrusotti9113]

A relationship can often form out of crisis intimacy , and often ends when the situation is over. In mental hospitals, people often start relationships while inside and never speak to eachother again once released ( from personal experience when I was a teen)

[@SR-um1op]

This is interesting in context of the fact that despite having been around for quite some time, they've never moved past a together-image similar to Garnet's first fusion, which visually we can describe as less intentional, mature, and united. This seems like a big detail, too big to be an accident the Crewniverse didn't mean to drop as a clue, so no matter what it is SOMETHING about Rhodonite's past that will be revealed to us is going to explain why her fusion has never gotten more comfortable being a fusion despite remaining as one.

[@ReneeNkunzimana13]

Wait but Rhodonite said that she didn’t want diamond authority so that’s why she’s hiding to not get herself into this.

The fear of death and betrayal are things to watch out. Both had to fussed on accident and later discovered their bond. They refer them selves in plural to keep their existing bond as two beings in check. Garnet has to help them as well as every friend.

[@Mar-uc7kk]

We actually know what Rhodonite was meant to be thanks to a Virtual panel with Rebecca Sugar. The Pearl and Ruby were meant to have a place in Steven Universe Future (I think) where it shows that they fell in love, were rejuvenated, and fell in love again. iirc, Peridot was supposed to build a machine to find out how many times a Gem has been Rejuvenated after the movie, and Rhodonite would have been reset about 17 times. It would then show the viewer Rhodonite going through and trying to remember all these lives, and how every single time the Ruby and Pearl met and fell in love. I'm pretty sure Morganite was meant to be a villain of the series too. However, due to time they never managed to make it, they were strictly stuck to the 20(?) episodes that were produced. There was too much new stuff to cover, and they simply had to cut it.
