more thoughts after sleeping and clearing my head

So, some people now are like "why did Steven just talk it out with the gems WHILE bismuth was there? Why they bubble her?" Well, I think that Bismuth understands Steven. Like his mother, he's fighting for peace, but he can't lie to a soul. Rose has proven a few times over that she has willingly kept powerful information from the crystal gems, but Steven believes that such information is to be shared, and makes everyone stronger together. Bismuth and Steven know that the longer she's out, the more she'll keep clashing horns with Steven, and probs Connie too if they meet. Rose taught Bismuth how to be herself and do what she wants, how she wants. But, this conflicts with Steven. She wants to end the 'Upper-crust' regeime at any cost, and Steven wants to settle this all by taking as few lives as physically possible, no matter how hard it will be.

Bismuth made the choice to willingly go back into her gem without fighting Steven in her last moments of being physical. Maybe to mull things over, maybe to accept their differences.

But, this brings me to another point. Jasper. Some complain that Steven, while normally nice and pure, holds little back against Jasper. People are shouting and crying to let Jasper have a redemption arc, but they're not going to get it, at least right now.

Japser does not want to be redeemed.

She is living her purpose as a quartz soldier, and she couldn't be happier right now. She's making an army of her own using the corrupted gems on earth to end the life of Rose Quartz. If what Bismuth said is true, and Rose is from earth, then it's possible that Jasper acted as some sort of leader role, maybe something more akin to a warden. Rose is a little gem who got a little too big for her britches, and needs to e put down. Jasper does not feel regret, she doesn't feel bad. This is exactly what she wants, even if it's not the way she originally envisioned it.
not my words, but what i'm thinking too

Still working on finishing Bix

[Kronshi]

@Akayaofthemoon That's alright. She can come in a bit later if necessary. I doubt I'll deny her since all she needs is acceptable powers.

A pretty lackluster post on my part, but I just wanted to show where my gems were. Chromite really isn't the one to try and entice the young gems, and she doesn't have much else to do.

[ianzerep]

Alot has happened in the past few hours 0.o Gonna make a post later tonight... hopefully :P

[Akayaofthemoon]

I won't be able to post until after work probably T.T

Topic for conversation:
So, since in what we know (so far) to be canon, gems are grown from shattered gem fragments, right? So, what do your gems come from?
The two Emeralds I play/played came from other Emeralds, but beyond that other varieties of beryl. Aquamarine, Bixbite, Goshenite, Morganite, Golden Beryl/Heliodor.

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper No, that's an experiment that Blood did with some shattered gems to create clusters until he perfected it to create new gems. So some here may be like Emerald but it's not everyone.

[HaltingBlooper]

@KronshiWell, I meant as a gem type. We already knew that gems come from gem shards (at least primarily) according to the show.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Added Bixbite to my profile!

[HaltingBlooper]

@Akayaofthemoon@Kronshi Wouldn't Bloodstone and Chromite hear Aqua's message, considering she just sent it out to all in the kindergarten?

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper First: That was never revealed in the show. I'm at least 99% sure since I just binge-watched the series with my friend, Veiled.

Secondly: Bloodstone and Chromite were meant to arrive after the message. So no.

[HaltingBlooper]

@KronshiI'll concede your second point, but I'm pretty sure it said somewhere in one of Amethyst's episode that Gems are grown from shards. And as capital punishment, gems are shattered. Since HW cares for little else than usefulness, that's probably how they obtain shards. Shattered Gems, whether killed by Homeworld or otherwise.

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper Once again, I'm 99% certain that never happened. And since I'm a stubborn croissant, I refuse to believe it without proof.

[HaltingBlooper]

@KronshiCroissants are practically the opposite of stubborn....

[Temporary]

@HaltingBlooper@Kronshi I have never watched the show, but I just looked through the Steven Universe wiki on Gems to see if there was anything on forming Gems from shards of other Gems besides The Cluster or whatever.

And it doesn't look like theres anything, provided I didn't miss it.

[SevenStormStyle]

I'm assuming that whatever gems take out of the ground is what gives them life, personality, a form, etc, because Peridot says in Gem Drill that Peridots (the actual "gem" part) are made out of peridotite.

[BrassOtter]

Looking through the wiki and referring to the special, it is stated nowhere that gems are grown from other shattered gems.
