Each Diamond’s Power Explained Finally - SU I hope this helps to understand the doubts about Diamond Power, like if Pink Diamond represents the Gemstone, the impulses or concussions or if White Diamond is Powering Homeworld or not ¡I hope you enjoy it!

😌🩷 How Rose Quartz was gone to give birth Steven:

Steven has the ability to alter his age according to his mental state, so his age depends on how old he believes himself to be. Because of this, Steven maintained the same physical appearance for almost six years, from when he was eight years old until he was 14.

The age change has the side effect of amnesia or memory loss: Steven, 14, when he changes his age to that of a baby, instead of being 14 years old in a baby's body, his brain, upon reverting to that of a baby, mentally forgets the memories of his 14 years.

Thus, it can still be said that Rose died, even though her gem wasn't destroyed, simply by giving it to Steven: if Rose mentally changed age at the moment of birth, it means that, in those final moments when Steven was struggling to be born and she couldn't allow it without giving him the gem—because otherwise she would die—she chose to transform herself. In that final stage of childbirth, she went from being Rose, an adult Diamond thousands of years old, to the age of 9 months; Pink Diamond's gem "began to believe it was a baby connected to the fetus," and thus Steven was born.

It is still useful from time to time to review Steven Universe, because now I thought about it well and, according to the cognitive diamond of real psychology, each essence of the Diamonds contributes one of the four states of the cognitive diamond.

White Diamond is the gem on the head; it represents the mind of a gem. But if a gem only receives the essence of White Diamond, that is, it only has a mind, then, if we only had a mind in our world, we would be only artificial intelligences and not people. Precisely, as gems are conscious solar robots, the essence of White Diamond gives them the artificial intelligence of a solar robot.

Mind control from his white light allows, for example, the fight between Pearl controlled by White Diamond and Connie to have the impact that Perla has taught Connie everything she knows about the sword, even though White Diamond should not know how Pearl taught Connie to fight with the sword. What happens is that White Diamond, by controlling Pearl’s mind, can access Perla’s brain storage to add to his own storage the knowledge of how Perla taught Connie to fight with the sword and thus be able to fight like her. This means that White Diamond needs to have access, or it is the only Diamond that is interconnected with the source code of each gem. As each gem already knows what its programming is since it was created, Blanco represents “What We Think” in the cognitive diamond, because artificial intelligences, to be artificial intelligences, need to think before giving an answer. Although they cannot give an opinion or reason like a living being, if a computer does not think before giving an answer, then it is not an artificial intelligence; it is just an automatic machine.

Yellow Diamond represents “Behavior”. Its yellow essence gives the gems the behavior of the body of light, because it is capable of destabilizing, repairing or modifying its physical form.

Blue Diamond represents “What We Feel”, because its blue essence is what gives human emotions to gems, empathy capabilities, subjective emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear.

Pink Diamond represents “Body Sensation”

“And Pink is pure want. Impulse, desire—she's infectious. She is the flip side of White; she can bring out a Gem's hidden personality—their deepest wants” - RS

Steven inherits the power to bring out hidden personalities and Deeper Desires of Gems through Dream Powers: Steven can enter the sleep of any human or gem he thinks of when he falls asleep, seeing his hidden fears

One of the most important examples occurs when Steven accessed the deepest memories and thoughts of Malachite’s mind, the unstable fusion between Jasper and Lapis Lazuli. Within that dream appear both separate gems, trapped by the same water chains and constantly struggling to control the fusion. Steven was able to access the most intimate or repressed thoughts of Malachite’s head and the repressed toxic relationship between Lapis and Jasper, an internal battle repressed in Malachite’s mind, who did not want to admit his toxic relationship inside, because she was addicted to power and ego on the outside Steven Universe -

The clearest example of this ability appears in Kiki’s pizza delivery episode, where Steven, after falling asleep after eating pizza, involuntarily begins to share exactly the same dream that Kiki is having. This happens because Steven is able to enter directly into someone else’s dream thanks to the inherited powers of Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz, especially the ability to release repressed emotions, hidden desires and parts of the personality that remain buried in the mind. In this case, the dream that Steven experiences is not a simple coincidence, but the mental manifestation of the extreme stress that Kiki was suppressing. Kiki tried to pretend that everything was fine while constantly covering her twin sister’s shifts at the pizzeria so as not to make her feel bad, accumulating fatigue and emotional pressure. Due to Steven’s empathetic and psychic connection, he ends up directly perceiving that internal conflict within the shared dream.

This further reinforces the idea that Steven’s mental powers function as a form of empathic telepathy capable of connecting consciences, entering other people’s dreams and interpreting repressed emotions as real mental scenarios.

Pink Diamond is Body Sensations by Deepest Wants since that is, in large part, what the body sensation is related to: the belly roars to eat, not sleeping well makes the body irritable, etc.

But also Pink Diamond, or its pink essence, gives the sensation of the gemstone body. It is said that Peridot’s powers of moving metals at a distance are the result of the magnetite present in the gem of the real-life peridote. However, it took the Peridot of Era 2 (post-Pink) a long time, since it was created, to control its powers to move metals. On the other hand, the other Peridots, being created with more resources, could surely move metals shortly after being created. If the lack of resources was due to the absence of pink essence because Diamond Pink was “dead”, then the pink essence gives the sensation of the body in the physical gem and amplifies the powers of the mineral, but does not create them.

En Summary:

⚪️ Consives AI to Gems as Solar Powered Robot

🟡 Consives Physical Form Behavior

🔵 Consives Feelings

🩷 Consives Impulses and amplifies Gemstone Powers

Yellow Diamond is physicality, action, force, her power can manipulate gems physically. Yellow represents the behavior of the arms and legs of light in a Gem

Blue Diamond is emotion, thought and culture, its power can manipulate gems emotionally, how Gems feel, feelings

White Diamond is identity, judgment and perfectionism, the Superego, his power can manipulate and eliminate the identity of a gem. The Gems come out of their hole knowing what they have to do and what their role is, since they begin to “think” because they are programmed

So, White Diamond represents the programming within the mind of the Gems, the artificial intelligence without its own personality, in the Cognitive Diamond it would be thought, the ability of the Gem to think in its programming, to know its role since they are created. Personality is largely the human emotions in the gem do to the blue essence AND the primary consciousness of pink essence...

AND PINK DIAMOND IS PURE WANT, IMPULSE AND DESIRE, SHE IS CONTAGIOUS, SHE IS THE FLIP SIDE OF WHITE, SHE CAN BRIBG OUT A GEM HIDDEN PERSONALITY OF A GEM, HER DEEPEST WANTS

Steven inherits the power to bring out hidden personalities and Deeper Desires of Gems through Dream Powers: Steven can enter the sleep of any human or gem he thinks of when he falls asleep, seeing his hidden fears

Although most of the fandom doesn’t see it that way, Greg is an exemplary father IN HIS OWN WAY. It was difficult to raise a human-alien rock hybrid child for a purely human father as Greg was, but Greg never complained, on the contrary, Greg raised Steven alone until the day Steven himself told Greg that he wanted to live with the Gems and start his training, Greg is not that he does not live with Steven for lack of money, but because it was Steven’s own decision to be in the glass temple. Greg every day took the time to visit his son Steven, he supported him, he worked in a car wash to feed Steven even when Steven lived in the Temple and not in the van with him, Greg always took care of being the bridge between Steven and the human world so that Steven would not be left alone being educated by Gemas, in addition Greg had the maturity to understand that raising Steven so that he went on the right path does not mean forcing him to do things he does not want, differentiating himself from many parents who believe that as long as their son lives under his roof, he is not free. Greg always valued the freedom and independence of Steven Universe, always seeing Steven as HUMAN and not as Rose’s successor, something that Perla had a hard time understanding

As they say, you don’t need to see Rose (the mother) when there is a father like Greg

To mature is to realize that if the Gems are robots that use solar energy, what Pink did was give a "cell phone padlock" to Pearl, if every time they talked about the Diamond Authority or who Rose was before Steven, Pearl covered her mouth with the same pose that Pink covered her when her last diamond order was "Don't talk about that Rose was Pink again, let's not look back" even if it was with love, what she did was without wanting to put her

"Cell phone padlock" to Perla as a gem-robot now Perla covered her mouth because her programming forced her to follow the order "not to talk again"

The explosion of the radioactive energy contained in the Shooting Star is injected deep into the earth's crust where it forces the minerals, to reorganize this create the Gemstone, which maintains a radioactive brightness product of residual energy.

The injectors take advantage at this moment they also inject, the liquid light Diamond to form the light body and transmit the information of "Mind (White) Physical Form (Yellow) Emotions (Blue) and Instincts (Pink) The electric currents or the radioactive energy in the gem Product of the Shooting Star explosion stabilize the formation of solid light, and the reaction causes another explosion that forms the hole and the gem is born

Why Yellow or Blue didn’t though that “the more sensible Pearl we gave to Pink betrayed her joining with her enemy that Rose Quartz”? ¡it’s the same Pearl! Same gem in Forehead, same color schemes, why they didn’t realize that the rebel Pearl and Pink’s Pearl were the same and that the Sensible Pearl for Pink betrayed Pink to join Rose or that Rose and Pink were the same? ¡It’s a plot hole! Let comment your theories here:

In a production of 200 gems to a Kindergarten, the tool called injector "injects" a laser or a flash it 4 of pure energy that heats the mineral; when the light explodes, it reorganizes the atoms and minerals in the ground, crystallizing the gem. Later, the liquid light of the Diamonds makes the gem take light form in the darkness of their hole

Is liquid light because it comes from the body of the Diamonds

How the driller do that:

In modern physics, there are technologies (such as certain types of solid-state lasers or induction systems) that do not require an actual "opening" to function. Electromagnetic transparency: the drill tip’s casing could be made of a material that is opaque to visible light yet completely transparent to high-energy radiation (such as X-rays, gamma rays, or extremely intense electromagnetic fields). The "bomb" effect: when the device is activated, energy accumulates within the tip and, upon reaching a critical threshold, is released through the solid surface into the surrounding rock. This would create the kind of "electrical explosion" or mineral compaction effect you describe without the need for a physical nozzle. It is as if the tip were a lens focusing all of its energy directly at the point of contact with the surface. If you inject a massive amount of electrical energy into a geological pressure point (such as beneath a mountain), you could induce a rapid phase transition. Instead of taking thousands of years, a "plasma discharge" would melt the surrounding chemical elements and force them to reorganize into a perfect crystalline lattice (the Gem) almost instantaneously as the material cools.

Once the crystalline structure (the gem) is solid but still "inanimate rock" or receptive gemstone, the lateral small drills retract. In doing so, they expose ducts or nozzles that release the "liquid light".

The Diamond liquid do NOT create gemstones reacting with the resource, ONLY makes formed gemstones alive

Social Class – Royalty

Diamond Authority

💎 White Diamond 💎 — Empress / Supreme Leader

🔶 Yellow Diamond 💎 — Army General

🔷 Blue Diamond 💎 — Grand Counselor / Imperial Chancellor

💓 Pink Diamond 💍 — Princess of the Empire

Elites

Zircons are the second gem type that is more powerful after the Diamonds, but Pure Garnets are as well.

The difference is that Pure Garnets are the second most powerful gems in the military of Homeworld, within the army of conquering Gems, while Zircons are second-in-command in the creation of the laws of the Homeworld Empire. They are physically fragile in body and do not fight, but they create the laws. They act as lawyers, but they are actually legislators.

This is why Pure Garnets are the only other gem type that governs colonies or entire planets without needing to be Diamonds, with Pure Garnets ruling planets that have palaces specifically for them, while the Diamonds, being supreme leaders, govern the rest of the planets and colonies. Meanwhile, the Zircons, having experience designing laws, dictating laws, and serving as legislators rather than merely lawyers, became the gems who ran to be democratically elected when the Diamonds abandoned the Empire, because they were second-in-command while the Diamonds were still in power, but in matters of law.

Aristocrats

Within the social class of aristocratic Gems, we find the gemstones considered the rarest within the hierarchy of the Diamonds.

At this level, we find all Beryls, such as Captain Emerald, the leader of the Dropship fleets that colonize planets under the command of the General Garnets; Morganite, powerful enough to have Rubies and Pearls under her command; as well as Spinel, who is the only Spinel in all of Homeworld.

Belonging to the nobility are the Sapphires, blue corundums elevated to aristocracy thanks to their future vision, as well as other gems whose sole purpose is to be the most intelligent gems and to think and think.

Explorer/Colonizer Gems

This type of gem is possibly the social class that has the greatest variation in the minerals that make up the different gems dedicated to exploring, invading, and colonizing planets within the Diamond system.

These are divided among the Nephrites, necessary to pilot each of the Dropships belonging to the fleets led by Captain Emerald; the Peridots, whose work is not limited to being technicians who repair the ships in case of damage, but also Kindergarten administrators responsible for analyzing the type of terrain and determining which gem will emerge before programming the injector AI with the role of each gem based on the type of gemstone produced by the Kindergarten. Also at this hierarchical level, we find the Citrines, Elite Guards who are responsible for guarding the Solar Incinerator ships aboard which these expeditions travel. Therefore, they also belong to this same social class of colonizing gems. At this same hierarchical level as the Nephrites are the Jades, dancers in the celebrations of conquest achievements carried out by the Great Diamond Authority. We have also decided to classify Holly Blue Agate, a Quartz captain who shares the rank just below Aquamarine with the Topazes. This is known because Aquamarine is responsible for collecting the list of humans for the Human Zoo directly requested by the Diamonds, as we see with the list of names Steven gave to Peridot, while Holly Blue Agate only has the authority to be in charge of the zoo and supervise the routine of the Zoomans within the artificial ecosystem.

Quartz Soldiers

And now that we enter the battlefield itself, the great variety among soldier gems is simply multiple types of Quartz with variations and impurities that affect their gemstone color and their light, but they all share the same Quartz mineral, and they are the strongest gems in terms of light muscles.

Low-Class Medium Gemstones

Below the soldiers and colonizing gems are treated the simple gems that only served in the old Empire to gather resources so that the leader or expansionist gems would not have to do it themselves, and to build exclusively for the aristocracy. They are among the most looked down upon gems, but at least they retain a minimal level of dignity.

Pearls/Pebbles

There is not much to say here; they represent absolute servitude and slavery disguised as loyalty or butlership.

In Steven Universe, what happens is that a Gem’s color also helps define its role, not just the unique property that distinguishes that gemstone from other gemstones in real-world mineralogy. The color itself also defines a role because of the following:

Yellow Diamond represents physicality, action, and strength. Her power can manipulate physical form. Because of this, orange and reddish-orange Gems such as Jaspers, Carnelians, Topazes, and Rubies are soldiers and therefore the Gems with the greatest raw physical strength in their light-based bodies, since reddish-orange shares color traits with Yellow Diamond.

Blue Diamond represents emotion, thought, and culture. Blue Gems include Sapphires, who can see the future, and Gems involved with law and administration, such as Zircons and Aquamarines.

Because green is a mixture of blue and yellow, Peridots, being green, inherit traits from both Blue and Yellow. As a result, they are the Gems responsible for creating other Gems and for operating Kindergartens professionally. Yellow Diamond is also the military leader, so Homeworld’s generals are often non-fusion Garnets, including green Garnets such as Demantoid and yellow-orange Garnets such as Hessonite.

In other words, green Gems are the ones directly involved in colonization by exploring and establishing control over planets. Examples include Nephrites aboard Dropships and Emeralds. If you combine Yellow Diamond’s action and strength with Blue Diamond’s culture, the result is expansion.

Lapis Lazulis are also blue Gems, but they contain yellow-colored pyrite inclusions. We see that our Lapis Lazuli, despite having a blue Gem, regenerated with a blue outfit accented by golden details, likely reflecting the pyrite within her Gem. If we apply this idea to all Lapis Lazulis, we could say that by combining Yellow Diamond’s action and strength with Blue Diamond’s water-associated court, their role becomes shaping landscapes and cutting through material with water, using elegance and grace to assist the expansion of a Kindergarten.

White Diamond represents identity, judgment, and perfectionism.

White Pearls serve as highly organized attendants and servants, much like our Pearl.

Pink Diamond was known for organizing parties and was also the most childlike of the Diamonds. Therefore, pink Gems tend to be associated with art, creativity, and entertainment.

Examples include Morganite, with her elaborate palanquin designs, and Spinel, whose role revolves around playfulness and amusement.

Pyrope, being a Garnet, is also a second-in-command figure. However, her red-purple coloration makes her more of an aristocratic Gem or the ruler of a palace of light, because she combines Blue Diamond’s themes of thought and culture with Pink Diamond’s themes of entertainment and artistic expression.

Bismuth is rainbow, therefore, yellow is the action and strength of building the physical building, blue of the cultural design of the building and pink the fun of the elite in the building

Also the case of the Amethysts is explained by saying that they were not military soldiers, but guards of the human zoo, which is a thematic place, and the thematic place is exclusively of culture and entertainment

This is what happens if Pink is really gone from the gem

Each Diamond Power represents a Gem Cognition Element

White Diamond/Mental: Gem’s AI as Solar-Power Robot, her light beam controls the mind of a gem, she is perfection herself, (or that’s what she thinks)

Yellow Diamond/Physical: Physical Body, the Mass in Gem’s Hologram, alters any Gem Appereance, can disipate the physical form and Concives Power and Strength, she leads Homeworld’s Army and her gems are Topaz/Quartz soldiers, the “muscle” of Homeworld.

Blue Diamond/Emotional: A Gem’s Emotions, she can force gems to feel what she feels do their blue light, Gems in a Diamond Ball NEED prepare emotionally to the elegance of Blue Diamond, her courts are calm Sapphires predict the future, Aquamarines have excellent memories, Blue Agates are terrorizing function.

Pink Diamond/VITAL:

“Pink is pure want, impulses and desires, she is infectious, she is the other side of White, she can bring a gem’s hidden personality of another gem and her deepest wants” Pink's power to differentiate the others, is that her Pink aura simply reveals the true personality of a gem, even if she wants to hide it, Steven inherits the power of bring out hidden personalities and Deepest Wants by Empathic Powers, the Dream Powers where Steven can enter the dream of any human or gem that he thinks when sleeps, seeing their hidden worries and his Pink aura making that Greg and Pearl don’t repress what they think about Rose and talk about that in the hotel

The fact that the Diamonds have made Pink probably never be happy because of how they raised her, is an act that has no justification

White is the mother of Yellow, Blue and Pink, the three littles diamonds are sisters, White is the Superego, Yellow and Blue are Ego and Pink ID

Since Pink Diamond crystallized, and the gem society advanced, the Major Diamonds used to put Pink aside to go on their colonial adventures, since Pink was inexperienced, annoying, small and dangerous for her.

For worse, when Pink asked the Major Diamonds why she couldn’t come to the missions and was abandoned on the mother planet, until her return, Yellow Diamond answered her things like “you’re like a little clown”

In child psychology, calling a child “fool”, “useless” or, in this case, “clown,” is a form of identity murder. They tell her who she is so that she can never find out who she could become.
And White Diamond directly confirmed to poor Pink “As for me, I DO NOT need you, I am of all the colors of light, but it is the part of me that I must repress, you are not your own diamond, and I must control you, because you bring out the worst in each Gem, your Pink aura makes each gem reveal its deepest desires, and that cannot be because they cannot have desires or irrelevant feelings unrelated to their programming and the purpose for which they were created”

This is projection. White Diamond is the one who doesn’t know how to handle individuality, but she tells Pink that she is the “source of the problem.” If you constantly repeat to a child that his simple presence “ruins things” or “brings out the worst in others”, the child does not question adults; he questions himself. Pink ends up believing that she is toxic by nature. That’s not a lesson, it’s a poison for self-esteem

Often, Pink Diamond’s childish curiosity and impulsiveness about the universe that surrounded her, or the world around her came to interrupt the efforts of the Major Diamonds to conquer a planet completely and complete an efficient colony, such as, for example, the time when Pink Diamond begged Blue Diamond to keep on the mother planet some little worms that were not going to survive the invasion, Blue considered it only because of the great affection she had for Pink and the little creatures became an infestation on the mother planet that chased the pearls constantly and could not be caught because of how elusive they were

Which led to locking her for days or weeks in a tower. Instead of using Pink’s curiosity as a teaching opportunity (“Pink, these little worms can’t live here because...”) and setting healthy limits, they opt for physical annulment.

* Isolation
is one of the most harmful forms of child punishment because it teaches the child that, when he makes a mistake, the solution is to disappear and be abandoned.

But the Worst was White Diamond, a bad mother not only for Pink, but an abuser towards her other daughters: well it was Yellow and Blue who feel victims of Pink’s loss but I always knew that Pink was Rose and she was alive, because I “supervised” her (it does not mean the word “spy”) and what I said was confirmed that Pink was not ready to handle the earth, her rebellion. In my opinion it is simply she is running away from home in Homeworld to play the Rebel and I think that in another couple of thousand years she will come back crawling to apologize to me for being such an ungrateful daughter

The reason why Steven needs therapy and why Pink self-hated herself, is because White raising Pink in the way she did have no justification

Perhaps it is understandable that Steven Universe feels a little away from Mother's Day for not having met Pink, who gave his gem for him to be born, but it is important to remember that mother is not only the one who breeds, but the one who raises, Steven does have a mother and those are Pearl and Garnet, who visited him and gave him a dictionary to learn to speak and a razor to use in the future. When he was a baby, they saw him grow up and they gave him a system of support and emotional stability treating him as a family, not only as a friend, Steven Universe, today he did not learn to control his powers or know who he is if he was not, because Perla and Garnet have taken care of him, because if Steven had only grown up with Greg he would most surely not have reached where he is now nor would he have developed the empathy that characterizes him, Garnet taught Steven, not to depend on anyone, to be self-sufficient, to Marcy, likewise and to others, and in a way he filled that lack Maternal that Rose left just like Perla showed Steven Universe what his birth or his gem inheritance is, it was not everything, and that Steven Universe had the responsibility to work hard to be able to dominate the properties of his gem and cares a lot about him to the point of saying that he can't go out for days without telling them, and he really understood how horrible it felt for Steven to keep a part of himself secret
