White Diamond's OBSESSED With Pink Diamond?! [Steven Universe: Diamond Days Theory] Crystal Clear

[@izzymcgee2527]

I wonder if Sadie's relationship with her mom was actually foreshadowing and/or a parallel to White and Pink's relationship.

[@Creatorsan]

Could be... maybe she never let go...

[@user-wt5if6rx8m]

I don't think so, I mean, her mom's a dork but not abusive

[@izzymcgee2527]

@@user-wt5if6rx8m Yes. But maybe White isn't strictly abusive but overbearing and overprotective. Maybe White Diamond isn't even aware that she drove Pink away in the first place? You could also compare their relationship to that of Connie and her own mother. There's definitely a recurring theme with mommy issues here that's for sure.

[@axt6570]

Theory: I think White has future vision. Or she is just extremely smart. In any case she forsaw Pink faked her own shattering. Her plan was to get pink going back to homeworld just like steven did so pink could realize that the rebellion and the war, her little game, was a terrible idea so she would stay forever. That's why White sabotaged the diamond attack. If the gems weren't corrupted, her plan wouldn't have worked. What white diamond never saw was that pink would fall in love with greg and eventually gave up her form to give birth to steven. That's why she doesn't understand that steven is someone different.

[@netherfreakultima4498]

That's true, besides... White Diamond is a monster

[@feliciaroseantonia]

This is especially interesting since, not only did Steven (who's kind of the "new pink diamond" if you will) do the performance for her, but the lyrics of the song Sadie was going to perform heavily mirror pink diamond: "I can't help it if I make a scene, stepping out of my hot pink limousine" (homeworld originally was lead to believe she was shattered right as she walked outside her hot pink palanquin, which is not only a parallel to limousine but also closely rhymes with it) "Well, everybody needs a friend, and I've got you, and you and you, so many I can't even name them, can you blame me? I'm too famous" ("you and you and you" could be Pearl, garnet and bismuth, but the others could all be the other crystal gems who were unfortunately lost in the war, but it could also mean the gems assigned to pink diamond's court, which could go with the "I'm too famous line" since she's royalty & her subjects would follow anything she said) "Haven't you noticed that I'm a star?" (the roundtable has made another theory speculating pink diamond could have been created from a comet/shooting star, which would also explain the star motif she chose for her rose quartz form) I'm sure there's more I'm not quite picking up on here but still, the parallel seems more interesting when you think about it honestly??

I mean I think there could be interesting parallels between our pearl and white diamond. If White’s obsession with pink is true we could compare that to our Pearl who became obsessed with rose “none of you could understand what we had” “I was the one she told everything”. Wouldn’t it be interesting if White thought “her pearl is too bad of an influence, we need to give her something to provide structure. Something like me.” Hence our pearl with her gem conveniently placed on her head. White could have been so obsessive that she made sure that Pink had someone like her with her even when she was out of White’s reach.

[@darkgirl9706]

Felysha Valentine that makes sense. Plus our pearl doesn’t really look like she belonged in Pink’s court. Even in the flashbacks. She looks like White Diamond /trying/ to initiate Pink’s design.

I have a theory of the family dynamic. Pink the child blue and yellow the parents (because they seem more lovey dovey/touchie to each other then just sisterly love to me) and white the grandmother. White is the grandmother that is abusive to her kids but plays a nice facade to pink being the darling grandchild. It explains the nickname as it's something grandmothers do. She acts differently to the child then the grandchild and wants everything perfect get way.

Maybe it was because of PD's power over organic life that fascinates WD. That would also explain why she isn't red diamond and is smaller. She was an accident and because of this her power can effect humans and other organic life. This would also go with your theory of PD was made from something that cant just be ordered back or recreated and it could've been something new so when a red diamond was implemented it deformed and became PD. (And a side note. PD and WD have the same gem shapes which could mean that they were supposed to have the same power level. [That's a side not because the least amount of evidence supports it]).

What I think went wrong with the Diamond attack: Yellow Diamond holds control of the physical form. Blue Diamond, a gem’s emotions. And White, their sanity and mind. So that leaves Pink to control the actual gem...but she wasn’t there. Now with that being said, if this is true then Pink Diamond has a dark power, the creation and destruction of the gem. What do ya think bout that, is it plausible? So some might ask “Well if the Diamonds knew about that attack then wouldn’t they know what would happen if Pink didn’t help?” Well to that I point at White Diamond! She presumably knew that Pink was alive all this time because her reaction to pink coming home. So what if white told them it would work perfectly fine without Pink? I mean she seems to be the boss Diamond, so they would listen to her. What if white knew Pink would survive it if it was just the three of them?

I get it now, In the episode, "Familiar" Steven sees Yellow and Blue and entertains them. Yellow was confused about how White Diamond would want to let Pink in her head, who had one colony that failed, while Yellow had several successful colonies. This concludes the diamonds were really close to Pink, especially White. White Diamond loved Pink Diamond and was probably annoyed when she really wanted a colony. White knew with Pink Diamond's sweet heart, that she wouldn't destroy Earth, and if white diamond can see through pearl's eyes or could see through the future, she must've planned to semi-permanently corrupt all gems on earth. She knew the other diamonds wont accept Pink and she would have to go back to homeworld to entertain the diamonds again. However, maybe, White Diamond must've just assumed everything, but didn't expect Pink to give in and take a new form as Steven, Heck, like the other diamonds, they don't completely believe Steven is different from Pink, but if/when they do I guess that connects to White Pearl being sad

It's quite probable that White Diamond is obsessed with Pink and her activities...especially if she's responsible for Pink's considerable upgrade between the Jungle Moon period and when she was given overlordship of Earth...but I'd be wary about speculating on how much White knew about or believed in Pink's fate after her alleged shattering, since presumably PD in whatever form remaining on Earth would be obliterated once The Cluster emerged as designed. So, either The Cluster was kept as a secret between Yellow and Blue Diamonds alone, or White really did believe that Pink had been assassinated and wouldn't be coming back. (Yes, there is also the possibility that White, having knowledge of Pink's wormhole-creating powers, would think that Pink would simply use them to escape planetary annihilation.

[@augiechiavuzzi4907]

I've always had this thought that white cares for pink more than yellow or blue since white and pink are the same as yellow and blue are.

[@sacredsin7282]

I wonder if we are to interpret Pink using a star as the insignia of the Crystal Gems as a symbol of her “graduation” from White, a symbol of her growth and excision from who seems to be shaping up as an abusive, overbearing mother figure. It could also be a nod to her birth from a shooting star/comet, but I feel like it’s more powerful for Pink to have used her nickname from White, perhaps a nickname that came to encompass all of White’s toxicity, excessive protectiveness, her obsessive love, etc as inspiration for a symbol of her rebellion from Homeworld and, maybe more than anything, her rebellion White Diamond herself. I like the idea of your theory a lot, Vox. I think White as a villain would be far more frightening if there is nothing she wouldn’t do because of her love of Pink, no length too far or atrocity too terrible to commit, that she wouldn’t dismiss as necessary to keep Pink “safe,” as opposed to White being dismissive, uninterested in Pink, and bent only on keeping the status quo of Homeworld. Plus, like you mentioned, White Diamond representing denial in the stages of grief, would match well with Yellow’s anger, and Blue’s depression/sadness. I’d assume Pink represented bargaining, and by the end of the series, the final stage, acceptance, will be reached by the Diamonds and Steven.

[@thewoollyviking5928]

Given that Homeworld likes to avoid confronting icky emotions at any and all costs, it'll be interesting to see a gem that is seriously emotionally stunted and had no basis to understand how messed up she is.

[@CasIsDarkness11]

My theory is that White babied Pink because she was the youngest (which made Pink childish), which, like mother and daughter, the “mom” gives the child a nickname. After her staged shattering, she went into denial and became detached. When she found herself to be correct, she was excited, which was her arms are stretched out, welcoming Pink. White was excited and finally felt something other than FAKE happiness, excitement and TRUE happiness.

I thought the same thing! Maybe White IS obsessed with Pink. She's so obsessed, she would do absolutely anything for Pink so that she couldn't cause any trouble. Maybe the reason why Yellow and Blue was so afraid of White Pearl/White Diamond when Steven and Connie fused is because they were too scared of what White might do to both of them. And if something bad happens to Pink, White might punish Yellow and Blue for not being responsible of looking out for Pink. It's like a mother in-charging two of her older daughters to take responsibility of their young sister that the mother is obsessed with. White's obsession with Pink might've turned Pink into a spoiled brat when we first saw Pink Diamond. (she was all demandy and shit.) which really sickens Yellow of Pink's drama and fame. As for Blue, she not only really loves Pink, but wanted her to rely on Blue. Blue never wanted to get punished by White so she decided to play nice with Pink so she and Yellow would be safe from White's punishments. After Pink has "grown up", she realized she can't get away from White. So she faked her death as being "shattered" so the people on homeworld knows that she's gone. After that, she disguised herself as Rose Quartz and start a rebellion to escape from homeworld. Until now, we don't know what White might do to Yellow and Blue after she saw Pink (Steven) fused with Connie. They both might get lectured, punish or something worse. But, we'll never know...

“I wouldn’t want any of the gems to end up like White Pearl” Hehe... yeah, about that...

[@yoavdigmi8871]

I thought starlight was like sunshine, but, you know... For space people...

[@shwoopyrrale1694]

“Garnet loses her rings” + this logic is making me worried for Garnet’s safety.

[@junior-bz6qq]

This theory makes sense because when yellow said " we will be lucky if she ever speak to us after this" maybe by us she means blue and yellow because they maybe convinced white to give pink a colony .Also Rebecca Sugar said that Pink diamond's behavior is influenced by white diamond and when yellow diamond said " if you dont want to be in a bubble for the next few milenials" maybe it was an exageration because the situation they were in legs from here to homeworld in the ship it was like the little sister did something wrong and the older sisters are trying to defend her little sister.

[@foozzys]

YES! I've been saying this since she appeared! the animations of Whites eyes was very specific(i went through frame by frame to find a specific shot) and I can say for a fact in my mind, that she was happy, to see what she assumed was Pink, back.

[@scarymeunster9095]

Oddly enough, this makes perfect sense. If you think hard enough, you realize - Pink would have represented acceptance. The four main reactions to the death of a loved one would be to - Deny - White Grieve deeply - Blue Hide everything - Yellow Accept and understand - Pink... How fitting.

[@sebastienbusque2312]

Wow... you brought up some really good points... and I actually had a novel story in mind, but the way you told it about White Diamond... made me realize that one of my characters could end up going down that same route if she over-protects the main protagonist. I didn't want to go the 'Steven Universe' route, but there's so much that links with this show that I'm baffled!

[@starbunny7301]

She might call Pink starlight because she came from a star. At Comic-Con, Rebecca said something like Steven was Rose, Rose was Pink and Pink was ---. I think she was a star because of the drawings in the promo for diamond days and also because the Crystal Gem symbol IS A STAR!!!! Hopefully this makes sense XD 💖 Some more foreshadowing probably

[@gracegrimmery9713]

Maybe white was jelous and curious because white diamond doesn't understand love at all

[@alexandriaceballos1938]

One things clear it’s basically a toxic parent/ favorite child type relationship.

[@slauderek3195]

White is completely obsessed with pink diamond. That’s why she didnt help out during the war and didn’t make her self available as an ally towards pink and yellow and blue were addressed. That’s why she has no sorrow when seeing pink for the first time in thousands of years after thinking she was dead.

[@martinkinisu7946]

I think it may be more like all of this has happened before. I think that white diamond definitely preys on pink diamond, consistent with the abusive relationship dynamic. I think that pink diamond has tried similar attempts at escaping white, and we’ll get a sense as to her passed efforts, and how they ultimately failed, in the episode “Escapism”. I really feel like Steven is pink diamonds ultimate escape. White diamond may be able to control the minds of gems, but does this power extend to organic life? If not, then Steven really is the best escape pink has from white diamond!

[@melaniegosse2974]

I love you guys and this channel. I look forward to all the theories. Got into steven universe this last year and just loving it.. loving you guys in Newfoundland Canada. Keep up the great work

[@AlongTheNyle]

If your right Steven Universe just got a whole lot darker

[@starchildofthesun]

Bro... you called it. White literally did the same thing she did you white/pink pearl to the crystal gems and blue and yellow!!

[@jacobhornbrook1619]

Had a thought while listening to this one and had to comment. What if "White" Pearl wasn't abused because she was a bad influence, but because she was acting/being used as a proxy for Pink Diamond? If Pink is so precious to White Diamond (could totally see that as possible) but she was badly behaved, White wouldn't want to risk harming her precious baby, so when she needed to teach her a lesson she'd take out the results of bad behavior on someone much more acceptable to dish it out to: her Pearl! It's a classic Whipping Boy situation: can't harm the Princess so I'll punish this proxy that she is very close with and make the Princess watch, then she'll regret her actions via empathy/sympathy (another example of "bad" gem behavior?) but not have a scratch on her! It didn't occur to me as a possibility though until the idea of White being obsessed with Pink came up. It happened with RL royalty, and the Diamonds are gem royalty, so couldn't the same idea possibly occur to White Diamond?

[@jacobhornbrook1619]

Edit: read some other comments about why White would go along with the Corruption attack if Pink was so precious to her: the same reason! She knew (?) that it wouldn't affect Pink (or that she would protect herself) but would have to watch all of her Crystal Gems become corrupted, mindless monsters as a result of her actions. Maybe it was playing a little fast and loose with Pink's safety, but I think it's been discussed already that White isn't on the most even of keels...

[@ilovesed3394]

Thanks for being here to support Su ur the best guys yass im taking to the roundtabel people

4 days till new eps didnt realize omg

[@Julysky712]

Roundtable back at it again!!!

[@meru8348]

Ok let's talk villains the only thing that separates "Heros" and "villains" is how society sees that individual but as seen from one side they may consider their actions heroic while the rest of society finds them corrupted it's all a matter of point of view to put this into example the gems of home world dont know anything or very little of humans and may consider the action of the diamonds destroying earth as "the right thing to do" and if the humans fight back they are considered the enemy of the diamond authority while humans see the people trying to destroy their plant as "bad people"

[@fairymairah]

and the Funny Thing is! Real Actual People were like I'd rather live in a Zoo! f*** Earth! Pearl and Garnet are Wrong! and People seemed to have change their Minds Real Quick ! ! ! !

[@fairymairah]

than Bismuth can't be too Wrong for trying to put Blue and Yellow in Bubbles! and trying to use the Breaking Point to try to Defend somebody else's Planet 🙄😏 ! ! ! !

[@fairymairah]

but were Humans always considered the enemy to HomeWorld Gems and most of the Diamonds!? but than tame them like they're some kind of Animals or Something! and the only planets they're afrering are the ones that have Organic Beings on them and want to try to Destroy as many as Possible ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[@madnoirthethird]

I have an idea... is it possible that all diamonds(except to white) was an part of white like the pearls inside pearl??? Like, it seems that white is detached from all emotion and the other diamonds are full of it, but... for what??? Maybe because she was trying to eliminate the weakness inside her.

[@shalissamarie265]

[@adamsheffield4149]

I think white is like a overprotective mom or dad she doesn't want her baby getting hurt

[@nziom]

Well she's her mom (more obsessed than blue more strict than yellow *white* )

[@cosmicwolf9918]

This idea and characterization of White Diamond is better than what we got

[@xavier-ns2to]

Nice theory keep up the good work

[@MlCRO]

It's probably because of Pink's destructive powers, that Yellow and Blue wasn't that aware about but White did since Pink was supposed to be Red. Like the Homeworld got cut in half by Pink (I think), then White Diamond took the credit. Since White probably don't want Pink to be feared. So White gave Pink a colony right away and adored Pink so she won't probably cause any trouble.

[@akiokami9367]

Pink pearl may have never even been given to Pink Diamond, her creation intended, white diamond would have wanted to see this pearl before handing her over to pink. And after having a look at this pearl she knew she could never let pearl with pink. Pink probably knew about the pearl being formed for her, but would have been told that pearl would serve her purpose, but was not "perfect" for pink. Another pearl (our pearl) would have been formed to serve all diamonds, this would give her more of a submissive personality, and would have been handed to pink in the hopes of her learning to be more submissive

[@somegem6344]

I mean... Who can't get enough of Pink? She's so joyfull and care-free.

[@littleman518]

All I'm gonna say is just look at the gem placements. (on the pearls) in it will all make sense.

[@angewomon143]

“White diamonds a villain! I big ol’ stinky villain!” Is now my favorite quote from you

[@TheSkittlesAddict]

you guys are the game theory of steven universe! I love you guys!!! keep up the great work!

[@riripari2042]

We won't truly know what their relationship was like until the show explains it, but here is was I think. We saw memories of Pink begging Yellow for attention only to be dismissed and ignored for her childishness. Well if White cares about her so much that she gave her a little nickname then I think she gained Pink's favor. She gave Pink the attention that she wanted and although sheight have also Pink to be immature and young she might have listened to what Pink had to say. I think White was the one to allow Pink to gain her own fleet and planet. Yellow didn't trust Pink with that power, but no one gets in the way of White Diamond's little starlight's happiness. Pink might've found White to be scary and powerful like the other diamonds, but she probably respected her and liked her too. Pink used the star theme for her outfit as well as the outfits of all her rebel members so she must have liked the nick name.

[@azurengamer9392]

Another reason for White to be obsessed with pink is the restoration power she has, at the current gem's strength Steven can heal cracked gems and revive dead organic beings BUT imagine what those powers would be capable of if pink was at yellow an blue's level or even White's, the gem would likely be able to heal corruption without the need of all 4 diamonds, fully repair shattered gems(with some side effects), and could most likely restore entire planets(like homeworld).

[@claireaquos6532]

Oh god! If you're right, it would be VERY CREEPY 😶

[@Topazismygem]

What if the shooting star hit homeworld there for breaking it (Idk)

[@zenmoonmaster]

The reason white diamond it's up sets with pink diamond is she wants to use her healing powers to bring back some kind of ancient weapon to life or something along those lines

[@ponchogarcia448]

Austric the reson why white calls pink starlight is because she came from a comet that traveled through the stars

[@kaitokera966]

I just have to say it all the diamonds are a virgin except pink diamond. Don’t hate me for this comment😅

[@UghieYucky]

I think that Pink's purpose is to amuse and entertain the other Diamonds. If you look at Pink's drawings all the Diamonds were serious/bored until she was created, which shows all of them smiling (except Yellow, but she's always annoyed.) They see Pink as a child.
