people can't predict this show not because it's particularly well written and planned from the start or whatever but because it wastes so time on stuff that people assume to be important because of that time spent, only for it all to turn out rather bizarre in retrospect as the story trundles along. it puts weird emphasis on things then the answer is just 'actually, who cares.' remember the obvious emphasis on yellow diamond covering something up during the trial? or steven coming to terms (over a billion episodes) with the fact his mom was a liar and a murderer? or his conflict with bismuth? or the diamonds being portrayed as callous, genocidal giants who basically committed obscene crimes against Milkfred E. Moore fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Oct 5, 2018 |

Anyway, what's wrong with Yellow's reaction? It seems like a perfectly legitimate red herring to me, as well as a good example of a place where Yellow might have figured out the truth if she was as rational as she claims to be.

I never got the impression Yellow was hiding anything during the trial. I kind of assumed we were just seeing Yellow being Yellow. She's always been knee-jerky, despite being the 'rational' one (she probably reads rationalwiki ffs) and impatient. She also always has a put down ready for Blue. Not that Blue doesn't deserve it. Shatterer. *spit*

Why are you talking about Lost in the Steven Universe thread? Alternative joke: Why are you talking about The Walking Dead in the Steven Universe thread? Alternative alternative joke: Why are you talking about Game of Thrones in the Steven Universe thread? I could go on, but I'll stop now. I've never actually watched these three shows, the only things I know about them I learned through cultural osmosis via people in my life complaining about them both online and in real life

Shatterer. *spit* i dunno, has Blue actually shattered anyone? threatened to shatter Garnet/Ruby/Sapphire I guess, but that might have been spur of the moment rhetoric. A habitual shatterer wouldn't have kept all those rose quartzes around for millennia, or the off colours and weirdos at the zoo.

I think the implication is that she has shattered/ordered others to shatter as execution in the past but has mellowed out since Pink's death.

Yellow's impulsive, stubborn, domineering, and mean, but I thought it was cute that she insisted Blue, Steven, and the Crystal Gems stayed behind in the ship while she talked to White alone. Yellow is obviously afraid of White and what she could do, but she wanted to protect the others regardless.

Oops, I did it again:  “Out of the dung and ashes of the world the most beautiful flowers shall bloom” -A poet probably Flower Stone is one of the most terrifying and deadly fusions to ever exist. She has the ability to make flowers appear anywhere. If you don’t think this sounds like a very scary power that’s because you’ve never had a daffodil growing out of your eye socket or a sunflower blossoming inside of your lungs. Only one has ever existed, and the damage she caused so severe that Homeworld no longer allows Coprolites and Cinnabars to be within 500 light-years of each other. Despite Homeworld’s best efforts Flower Stone was never captured. She’s still out there somewhere, watching, waiting, giggling. Because of her elusive nature information on Flower Stone is hard to come by, but allegedly she speaks with a French accent (yet does not understand French) and enjoys herbal tea and cartoons from the 90’s.

Everyone always says flower powers are weak but clearly we see things the same way  . If you're familiar with Card Captor Sakura (as an aside, the teacher x young student sideplot is loving gross), when Sakura gets ahold of The Flower card, she finds out it can summon any flower, to which she says "that's it?".And it's like girl, you know weed is a flower, right?

First of all: Yeah, that teacher should have been in jail. Second: Sakura was always a little uncreative with the way she used the clow cards. She mostly just spammed Windy. There were a LOT of cool cards she never tried to do anything interesting with even though they seemed really cool or like they had a lot of potential, that really bugged me as a kid.
