It is sad and I bet Pink had that same problem Steven was dealing with in that episode. Given how Pink acted as Rose, it probably wasn’t something she thought she needed to fix until Volleyball became a casualty that one time. I’d imagine Steven May try harder to keep his temper under control, but nothing will come to a head until someone gets hurt.

Hmm. Steven wants to make everything prefect and everyone, sounds like someone we know.... Edit: to be more specific I was talking about white diamond.

[@sabercat5490]

He doesn't want everyone to be perfect he just wants people to do something different, than what they did on homeworld. He doesn't realize that they are doing what they know away they like it while learning new things at the same time.

[@Ellie-Angela]

Something I'd add about the last scene in "Volleyball": after they unfuse, our point of view is from the right, just as is Pearl, and as such we don't see Volleyball's left eye, with the crack, but Steven is on her left and looking at her, probably directly seeing her cracks. That could show that Pearl accepted the past, Pink Diamond's violence and tantrum, and refused to let them hold her down, while Steven is still looking at the past, having more difficulties moving on.

[@liwkaosmaek9874]

I don't understand how Pink's tantrum is the biggest deal, she did it on accident anyways and was the first and only time she had hurt her. I mean White took her away, replaced her, she missed everything, she didn't even got the chance to say goodbye to her best friend and maybe even the subject of romantic feelings, now she has to see Rose had 2 replacements of her (Pearl) and one for real (Greg=Steven), not mentioning that Rose developed probably even stronger friendships with other gems - that should be the REAL trauma we're supposed to overcome. I just can't process it why it's not the case here !! :/

[@Ellie-Angela]

@@liwkaosmaek9874 Kinda hard to put myself back into the mindset I was when writing that, but I'd say my take is that while it is the only tantrum that hurt Volleyball physically, it probably wasn't the first tantrum that Pink made her endure - and that's probably why the scar is more emotional than physical and Steven can't heal it. It's rare that abuse happens only once - and even with White taking away Volleyball from Pink, there was probably build up to it. Though I'll admit that we don't really see enough of Volleyball's reaction to... well, her possession and essentially waking up thousands of years later. But at the same time, gems tend to be very good at unhealthily bottling things up, given them being used to a totalitarian regime where speaking out of line is punishable by death and all that. Hard to shake that off when many were probably conditioned like that for longer than modern human civilizations existed.

I will point out that Rose didn't wear boots either (well she did in her first transformation but not in the one we see most often).Neither does Hippie Rose. I don't think gems NEED footwear to protect thier feet, it's just a choice thing. The only exception to this I think there is are heels, which seem to indicate command (so far we've only seen three gems wearing heels [not inducing the leg ship] Yellow Diamond, White Diamond and Holly Blue Agate. {we'll probably never know about Blue Diamond since her skirt reaches to the ground, but her footsteps don't SOUND like she has heels.)

[@zephyrproductions9928]

I think “Being Human” related mostly to anger management or finding outlets to your emotions. The lyrics sound to me like they’re about taking time away from what’s bothering you to collect your thoughts and think rationally. Notice the music, too. Part of the instrumental (I believe the glockenspiel) is identical to that in “Here Comes A Thought”, which goes along the same lines. Additionally, I think the driving scene represents maturity. Now that he’s old enough to drive, Steven is going on a nice relaxing ride to clear his mind. That’s why he’s driving AWAY from the temple. He’s meditating, thinking about what he’ll do when he gets back.

They are still very wrong, but at least, we now have a better look at her mental state (Wich is something I want to see more) With that said, if she really wanted to keep those powers away for ever, then giving birth to Steven suddently becames her most irresponsable action. Simply because her flaw to never think of her action's consequences makes her not thing about Steven having her powers including her destructives one. And the worst part, no knew about them. Steven was really lucky to discover them in Era 3 because he can have help from those who knows about those powers like Pink pearl and the diamonds. However, if he did in Era 2, I can't even imagine the trouble the crystal gems would have been into.

What Volleyball made me realize was that Steven or Connie never told the Gems what happened in White's head during Change Your Mind. If he did. Pearl would have known about the yelling power Steven, and therefore Pink had. Like, Steven never told them that she ripped his gem out. (He may have told them this but left out all of the stuff about Pink Steven but I doubt that) Something interesting I realized.

HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT ANALYZING EVERYTHING!

[@autumbreeze1129]

No mention of Greg's hilarious but 100% COMPLETELY understandable reaction to the Rose Quartz or the look Pearl set him to confirm "yes. This is really happening and I feel as uncomfortable as you do" And NO mention of the fact Rose's chest WAS OPEN?

I love how those Rubies look like little FBI Agents, somewhere out there is probably a small Gem government being created because hey, Gems do need leaders and all

Ew we are not gonna keep calling her "volley ball" are we 💀

[@redram6080]

Ikr I'd rather just call her Pink Pearl. It's about half as long to say and sounds WAY better.

I honestly love how well abuse is shown through Volleyball and the series as a whole. Abuse victims don't come out unscathed--they themselves can become abusers. Even if they learn how to manage it at some point, they still have hurt people. Pink coping through rage is something all too common with abuse victims, but is shown respectfully while still outlining the not-okayness of the whole situation. As someone who has experienced abuse, it's just so welcome to see the complexity of it acknowledged.

What Pink diamond did to her pearl is unforgivable

[@imalazypudding5392]

I agree. Its hard to belive she's a good gem/person after this...

In regards to Steven storing the portrait inside Lion's mane, I see it as also him keeping a part of Rose close by. Yes, Rose DID make things complex for everyone. But deep down, everybody still loves her; from Greg to Steven. Thus, pushing the image of a family member away forever is something only very few people would proceed with completely

9:48 It really does blur the line between items that gems obtain and store, and actual gem weapons. I think the climax weapon was part spear but im not sure.

11:00 I had to listen to this again because I wasn't entirely sure of what you just said- But ohhhh the childhood memories, I love mew mew power (the dub is no where near as good as younger me remembered, but it was nice to go back and watch it again). I'm glad some people actually remember the show, I thought most didn't know about it or just forgot.

No, I think that they are friends who are bonding over the trauma of having the same abuser.
