The quote “If every pork chops were perfect, we wouldn’t have hotdogs” Saying that if pink diamond was perfect and she committed to her colonisation, we wouldn’t have rose/steven. Thus the reason rose liked and used the quote when activating her laser light cannon

Charles Ashley Cruz the same way that Pink ate those fake gem shards and hotdogs are basically shards of hotdogs

[@halfofakitty]

Uh, also... Hotdogs are meat put into a new form and put into a bun... i.e. Pink to Rose to Steven!! Humans are like frail bread. 😖 And he is... male...... 😅 🤯 Also, the pork chop bit-- (it's long but there's alot to it) "...a loin cut taken perpendicular to the spine of the pig and usually containing a rib or part of a vertebra. Pork chops are not processed and are leaner than other cuts of pork." (i.e. the spine refers to leadership, not processed; perfect as is like a diamond, cut from the spine and retains a vertebrae like Pink retaining leadership as Rose, pigs are pink, and it's a lean cut like skinny Pink Diamond!!) Also, the making of hotdogs/sausages is disgusting, just like Pink Diamond's morally unnerving tail. And hotdogs are made from scraps i.e. she made herself into scraps by shattering herself to live as Rose/Steven.

[@euclodies1719]

Unpopular theory: Pink Diamond didn't bubble Bismuth because she wanted to shatter gems, she did it because Bismuth was the only one besides Pearl who knew that sword couldn't shatter gems. If Bismuth debated it she could have exposed everything. Dark.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

Interesting theory.

[@jdlee4358]

That would have been a better story

[@enbydude2123]

At the very least, it could be part of the reason Rose never let her out

[@kimuires]

Probably both tbh

[@masterd_flabz7043]

I've seen it more as Bismuth create a weapon that could win the war, a weapon that could shatter a diamond. And since Rose and Pink are the same person, she chose to remove Bismuth in secrecy, cause it would throw a lot of shade on Rose If she would disregard publicly a weapon that could win them a war,or something like that

I think a large piece of foreshadowing to me was the fact that rose had all these special powers like healing, reviving,and having two different weapons, when no other quartz had anything close to that.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Not even Amethyst or Jasper, quartzes, have healing powers.

[@SpiffyBoi345]

The sword isn't a summoned weapon (Bismush made it) but I still see your point

[@gabrote42]

Great!

[@cyruscrompton8221]

I always felt like that was the most obvious one, like its pretty absurd to think that all of Steven's powers was from a gem of the same rank as Amethyst/Jasper

[@rat_bigmac]

I noticed one possible piece of foreshadowing in the episode “On the run” when Pearl is talking to Amythest in the kindergarden, she says “You’re the one good thing that came out of this mess.” But If Rose Quartz came out of the kindergarden as well, wouldn’t pearl have said something more like “You’re one of the only good things that came out of this mess.” But I don’t know if that really counts as for-shadowing...

[@ItsMeyzBangs]

Counts since Pink came from homeworld. Also implies that Rose really ISNT from kindergarten when she staged that she did.

[@midnightrush4791]

Why would pearl be thinking like that?

[@user-kp1sl7nd3f]

Hey yeah

[@pivinne5536]

yeah! since now we know in future that rose quartz were made by pink on earth so rose quartz would have been made on earth was she not pink diamond

[@PD-ws4td]

When Steven asks Pearl: "What was mom like?" Pearl replied: "She was courageous and brilliant, and beautiful. Sometimes, you look so much like her." Where as Steven replies "Really?", with a shot of Steven next to Rose's painting, looking nothing alike. I think Pearl was referring to the looks of Pink Diamond and not Rose Quartz.

[@TheMeGuy1]

Late to the party, but a BIG one you missed is that whenever the characters are traveling through one of the portals made by Lion, a certain musical chord plays. This is the same exact one that is used every time another diamond shows up on screen.

[@Filmopolis]

[@rebellsprout5754]

remember the gag from Future Vision when Steven envisions Cookie Cat killing him? "Cookie Cat you're real? Ah no! I never even considered you'd be evil." If Cookie Cat is an illusion to Rose Quartz that line takes on a new meaning.

[@sarckat7021]

finally someone mentioned it

[@alidiaz7913]

I sincerely hate to do this, but it's allusion, not illusion. Allusion is a literary device that foreshadows or makes a reference to popular media or another main event, while illusion is when something has a deceptive appearance.

[@wrensea4873]

And the fact that the Rose's sword can poof a gem but can't shatter one, if that was the case how would Rose be able to shatter Pink Diamond like everyone thinks including the crystal gems. And maybe was another reason why she kept Bismuth bubbled because she would've known immediately that something was wrong because she made the sword.

[@calebj8134]

Pink deliberately made bismuth make her a sword that could instantly poof a gem but never shatter one, so when she faked her shattering she wouldn't get shattered in the process

[@milesshepard7743]

The one I was looking for !!!

[@brooklynnlazell7206]

In that episode, there was also a hint that Steven was pink diamond. When he starts to sing “Both of you” Greg turns yellow, Pearl turns Blue and Steven turns pink. It’s symbolic to how Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond both miss and love Pink Diamond and were upset when she was shattered. Steven turning pink not only hints Pink Diamond usually brought all of the Diamonds together so they stayed like a family, but it also hints that he is ACTUALLY Pink Diamond

[@milesshepard7743]

@@brooklynnlazell7206 yooooooooo

[@sirena-lee6523]

When Rose had that conversation with Pearl and calls her "My Pearl," it was a big gesture. Gems call other gems by the title of "My" it implies they are a VERY important gem. Hence, "MY Diamond".

[@jaysoft55]

Not gonna lie I COMPLETELY forgot that Bismuth said that Rose's sword couldn't shatter gems, in hindsight that would probably be the biggest clue to anyone who remembered that detail that it was all staged. That and the fact they make it pretty clear that Rose was from homeworld but later they state Rose would have been made on Earth just like the rest of Pink Diamond's gems, which doesn't add up.

[@Shrina_Dracis]

How did I miss the whole Bismuth's "can't shatter the gem" (paraphrased) vs. Blue's "This is the sword that shattered Pink" (again, paraphrased) when Blue SHATTERED Rose's sword...

KendrixTermina since Future is out and close to wrapping up, I’ve seen a theory that the dessert is where Pink would go to unleash some of her destructive powers (like her scream that hurt Volleyball, the one we saw Pink Steven do in Change Your Mind and Steven do in The Reef while trying to help heal Volleyball). This theory also states that Rose hurt/killed Lion, and feeling bad and guilty, brought him back to life. [EDIT:] We learned in Volleyball that Pearl wasn’t aware of Pink/Rose’s destructive powers, which is why Rose hid the dessert hideaway and Lion away from her.

[@valenciageode25]

Only just realizing that pearl expressing her feelings with song is sort of reclaiming what she did on HomeWorld. There she would’ve been commanded to sing on a regular for others. The first thing she does when she rejuvenates is sing. In Mr. Greg she sings for herself. Also applies to Do it for Her, to a certain extent, since she was singing for Connie too.

[@dhunHERO]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but in the episode where Steven goes to have dinner with Connie's family, Steven agrees when Connie suggests that they should run away and start a new life, that's also foreshadowing in my book.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Even Connie has some kind of idea of living on her own with Steven. Just like how Pearl was supposed to make Pink Diamond happy but only had some kind of idea that didn't work.

[@tonythegamer837]

When Pearl talks to Steven in Gemcation, the piano bangs when she covers her mouth, and there is similar music when she does the same in A Single Pale Rose. There is also a violin rift used in Its Over that is also used when it is revealed that Pearl shapeshifted into Rose. They use music in a very clever way.

You didn’t explain the last part so here for Sadie song so here you go: “I got them dazzle like a stage magician.” It like how pink diamond shapeshifter into rose quartz and no one knew except pearl. “When I point they look and when I talk they listen.” This might mean when rose speak up.They listen and believe her to save the planet like if she point somewhere, even it’s just a blank space. They will believe there’s something, so they look. “Well everybody need a friend and then I got you, and you and you. So many, I can’t even name them. Can you blame me?” That’s when her army start building up and massive gems agree to join the war. “I’m too famous.” Rose message spread across the universe that she’s protecting earth and fighting against herself. “Hadn’t you notice I’m a star.” The diamonds think the crystal gems are not a big deal like they hadn’t notice this rebellion is spreading every where on earth and becoming a threat. “I’m coming to view that’s the world is turning.” Pink diamond and pearl preparing for the fake shattering like how every going to change and as rose said: Isn’t it going to be exciting? As her view. “Hasn’t you notice I made it this far?” Having the diamonds notice she fake as her own enemy and finally for her death. “Now everyone can see me burning.” Now all her soldier and army could see pink diamond die in front of their eyes

[@sarckat7021]

wow

[@JasonAFlintham]

I guess the main thing that stands out for me, looking back, is that it's pretty much established that quartz gems aren't much use for anything besides being muscle to use as soldiers and bodyguards. Yet Rose had all sorts of abilities, including being able to heal with her tears, and resurrect dead animals into immortal beings with pocket dimensions in their hair, coupled with the fact that she also passed onto Steven the ability to fuse with humans, something even she thought was impossible (remember the way she laughed in Greg's face?). Definitely more to her than we all thought at the start.

[@harleyphillips1822]

in We Need to Talk, when Rose starts laughing at Greg, Greg flinches and there's a pink flash and a shattering noise in the background In The Answer, when Rose poofs the Ruby fusion, there's two white flashes, followed by a pink cracking one Rose was able to shapeshift a womb and reproductive system for 9 months straight in order to give birth to Steven. However, Amethyst, the best shapeshifter we know, could only hold a form for a couple hours straight at the most before getting too uncomfortable and tired, even when she took occasional breaks when no one was looking Alexandrite has a pinkish diamond on her chest When Steven and Connie are in Rose's room, the room creates the creepy Connie with the white dress and eyepatch who only does what Steven wants until she turns on him. Then the real Connie comes to the rescue. Similarly, Pink had her Pearl until she and White presumably swapped, and Pink Pearl got taken over by White and her eye got all cracked and the Pearl we know became a fighter for Pink/Rose. Also the book in that episode sounded awfully *_Familiar_*

[@Assassin0223]

I actually had an idea that Rose could have been pink diamond, I think in season 2 or 3. If you look at the Era 2 symbol of the great diamond authority, each diamond is symbolized as a triangle. If you look at every item that belonged to Rose quartz, from her scabbard to the center of her shield, you will see a pink triangle. Along with pearl's spacesuit, I just assumed that it was kind of obvious.

[@marcocampa94]

You missed "Steven and the Stevens" episode's Steven diamond pupils during the line "I learned to stay true to myself / By watching myself die" (this line is foreshadowing itself)... and whole episode subtext in general. Also, in the same episode: "Steven and the Stevens / We're gonna make you smile / Me, myself, and I, and him / Are all the same guy". Not to mention all Sadie Miller's arc: from singing about being a star to singing about being a ghost. Also "why can you seem me" literally foreshadow both Pink Diamond low role in the Diamond Authority hierarchy and the fact that Diamonds refuse to see Steven as... well, Steven.

I have a theory! So you know how PD was shattered into gem shards? I think the reason that homeworld was so focused on forced fusion was because they wanted to be able to bring pink back with it. So they experimented by shattering gems and fusing then together. This is especially present in the fact that most forced fusions are in yellows room. Being a nod to the fact that she expressed more by doing than blue diamond crying.

The pride of lions that Rose was with has three male lions. The fact that Rose's hair resembles a lion's mane and also foreshadowing that she was a pride of diamonds. Steven's fuse with Amethyst is also foreshadowing too. The fact the Smoky has two left hands further supports that Rose/Pink was left handed.

Everytime they said Rose hates/forsook her "home planet" might also be a clue. Why? Because Garnet said/implied she's made on Earth when telling her story to the off colours.

Some you forgot! Keep Beach City Weird!: "The Great Diamond Authority! They're here to hollow out the Earth! *_They'll take on any form!"_* You could argue that's true of any Gem, and that he was referring to a Gem's ability to shapeshift, except... "Rocknaldo" proves that Ronaldo wasn't aware that the Crystal Gems were also the same. Which means this passing shapeshifting comment lands *_specifically_* on the Diamonds. Say Uncle: Upon arrival, Uncle Grandpa emerges from a clam shell, wearing Rose Quartz's disguise. Quartzes and diamonds are not formed in clams, but guess what is? Pearls! And who shapeshifted to look like Rose? Pearl! That entrance, while bizarre, was a literal THROWAWAY REFERENCE to Pearl shapeshifting to disguise as Rose. Monster Reunion: Nephrite/Centipeetle, when asked about who caused the corrupting light, drew an image of the Diamond Authority logo (sans Pink). At the very end of the episode, he asks Pearl to teach him how to write in Gem, and makes this comment, "Just a few things, like, 'Hi, how are you?' 'Where's the bathroom?' and... 'I'm sorry.'" While saying this last line, he holds up the drawing of the broken Diamond Authority logo (ironically with the open Pink Diamond slot facing him). While Pink wasn't part of the attack, she was the reason it was done in the first place. Your Mother and Mine: During the speech between Rose and Pink, there's a stylized background. Rose's background is a rose in front of a diamond. Another interesting note, but the way the hands are positioned when they go to attack reflect that of the Diamond Authority logo. We then see all three lights in the sky while Rose grabs Garnet and Pearl and brings them under the shield; the other three Diamonds over her. We Are The Crystal Gems (extended version): Pearl's background is composed of diamonds, that partly get covered by the billowing Crystal Gems flag. From this same one, the pose the new theme song starts on has Garnet at the top, Pearl and Amethyst at the sides, and Steven at the bottom (his hands in a position remarkably similar to that of the Diamond Salute before brushing them out to activate the Warp Pad). The interesting thing is our Gem's respective positions when compared to the symbol. Garnet is at the top, in White's spot. Aloof and above the others while taking charge and leading them, yet also having a rather limited knowledge on social interaction and emotional understanding, while also seeing more than her teammates; this coincides well with White. Amethyst is to Garnet's right (the screen's left), in Yellow's spot. Distant and uncaring on the surface, while hiding her true feelings until they're revealed in moments of weakness. Does her best to focus on the present and dislikes the past. Feels guilty for something she couldn't control and blames herself. Refuses to fall apart on those she cares about and provides a supporting hand to those she cares about. Acts on instinct and has a bit of a temper, especially when triggered. Sometimes rushes into doing something, getting impatient with it, and jumping the gun; all of which sync rather well with Yellow. Pearl is on Garnet's and Amethyst's left (the screen's right), in Blue's spot. Emotional (rather openly), dwells in the past, looks to others for support but can be dangerous of her own merit. Dedicated most of her time and efforts into keeping someone else's wants and desires alive, clinging to it for comfort. Dislikes anyone trying to force her to get over her attachments. Obsessive over the one she loved to the point where it blinded her at times from seeing people as they were. Grieved long and hard over the one she lost. Defensive of the past and quick to fly off the handle when someone confronts her; these traits are rather prominent of Blue as well. Lastly, Steven, being at the bottom and in the place of Pink. Who he literally now possesses the gem of. Who he took the spot of. Who shares so much in common with her that it's uncanny. Hell, "Familiar" ITSELF *_literally_* acknowledges that the situation Pink was in with the Diamonds was an *_exact_* parallel to what Steven was initially in with the Crystal Gems. This went on a bit longer than I imagined, and I believe I still missed some. But there's just too many good coincidences.
