It is very possible. It was just right before she choose the shape was....weird...it makes me nervous because we saw with centipeedle that they started to lose themselves or the healing when they became upset. Low self esteem isn't too far off from being upset and feeling worthless...plus...Amythest was technically on Earth when the Diamonds did what they did so it has always worried me. Even when I thought they were made to be that way.

whale whale whale. Before, we have seen the term "Defective" used as an insult to the crystal gems, but I think that it's literally meant for Amethyst. She was the last of the gems to ever pop out of the kindergarten, supposedly when it was still active. Her hole, much smaller and further away from all of the others, signifies difference. It seemed like Ame was still kicking around the kindergarten when Rose and the others came across it, even though all gems are apparently supposed to know what their purpose is right after creation. Quartz gems apparently are a warrior race, and if Jasper is of any example, has a drive for violence and combat. Rose was a powerful general and tactician, but Amethyst most likely didn't have anything like that. She transforms and imitates people and things, and has had a history of quickly reforming, most likely to reflect how lost she is on her own purpose. Amethyst does what Amethyst is, but she knows that there is a purpose that all Amethysts are meant for that she cannot do.

Plus I am kind of worried seeing as tomorrow's episode is called Steven vs Amythest

@pyroman

Don't deny any of that but I still worry about her sometimes.

Spoilers from Leaks

Considering Amethyst's appearances in the Bismuth leaks, she may be safe. At least for now...
I'm more worried about Bismuth. The circumstances regarding her appearance are weird...

[pyroman]

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Hider

Given what we know and what we've seen, Bismuth might have A) been bubbled and placed with Lion to keep them safe until an unknown later event would happen. B) Be another prisoner of war, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. I think Limp Bizmuth might be a builder of some sort, but I don't know.

True...Bismuth looked like a blacksmith of sorts in one of the promos.
However, the fact that she's considered a friend and a Crystal Gem is really what worries me because that may turn B) into...

B) Bismuth could have infiltrated the Crystal Gems and relay every bit of information to the Diamonds. Only Rose knew this, didn't tell the Crystal Gems because it would hurt them, poofed Bismuth, and bubbled her (just as the CGs bubbled Peridot). Rose would have hid Bismuth in Lion's mane because no one would think to look there (Pearl didn't even know about Lion, and she stated that Rose told her everything).

Man, I just beat Wolfenstein: The New Order and now I'm sad. That whole last quarter of the game or so is just... [Flaming plane crash noises]. A real whiplash of "Awesome things are happening and I'm a badass!" to... "Frowns."

@HaltingBlooper@rocketrobie2 Hearing you two talking about a game I've never heard of made me curious, and now I'm playing it XD

I've gone with Persuasive and Shadowy, in case you wanted to know ^-^

[rocketrobie2]

@Vocab What kind of Card did you choose for your appearance?

[Temporary]

@rocketrobie2 This one:

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper@rocketrobie2@Vocab

I started playing Fallen London now. Great game with lots of mystery. Wish the actions came quicker though.

I'm going with Shadowy and Dangerous. An assassin of sorts I suppose.

[Temporary]

@Kronshi I went with Persuasive and Shadowy, because I personally think that Bard/Rogue multiclass in D&D is one of the greatest combinations for multiclass - not because it works well or anything, but the idea of a charming character who talks their way into your home and then steals everything is just too funny to me XD

[Kronshi]

@Vocab Yeah. I have a lot of persuasive because I had to sweet-talk my way into that lady's house at the beginning. I'll assassinate her later though.

[HaltingBlooper]

@Kronshi@Vocab@rocketrobie2
So, Kronshi, my name is Harmless Kitt3n of Dapperton in-game. I wanted to play watchful and shadowy, but I accidentally got my persuasive up(through an ambition) to 18 + 2 equipment bonus. Heer ar muh stets
Watchful: 11
Shadowy: 14 + 2
Dangerous: 5 ;-; please no hurt kitten
Persuasive: 18 + 2

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper
You could probably guess my username. My stats so far are:
Watchful: 6-1
Shadowy: 8+4
Dangerous: 5+3
Persuasive: 9-1

Edit: Fixed it.

[Temporary]

Me names Vocat in game, aiming for Shadowy and Persuasive but with quite a lot of Watchful as well.

Stats currently are:

Dangerous - 5-1
Persuasive - 12+2
Shadowy - 8
Watchful - 11

[pyroman]

so, just popping in real quick. nothing spoilery, but I do have some interesting thoughts about Rose and the Gems. They all seem to be problem children, for one reason or another. Pearl, a loyal servant but little else, who's trying to continue living in the memory of Rose, who seemed to approve of her behavoir. Garnet, the runaway who is hated by homeworld simply by existing, once again, Rose encourages Garnet to be garnet, no matter what it entails. And Amethyst, an overbaked quartz soldier, defective in nature, but continued fighting to prove she has worth.

Now, it's not to say that it's a bad message by any means, but it's simply interesting how each of the have their problems and face them (both individually, and with the assistance of Rose). The message of "be who you are"/"Love yourself" is a good one, and it seems like everyone's stories are finally getting the attention that we need.

@pyroman

I agree and I am really glad they took the time to do that in this show.

@Kronshi@Vocab
Stats currently are:
Watchful: 11 + 2
Shadowy: 15 + 2
Dangerous: 15 + 2
Persuasive: 18 + 2
I gained 5 levels in Dangerous just from completing a storyline. Storylines are great. Also, do cards whenever possible, they have huge rewards, considering most of them only cost 1 action.
