Hey guys uhhh good chance the diamonds used literal torture to reprimand Pink Diamond.
We saw at the end of the episode that Yellow Diamond stuck Stevonnie in a pitch black cell to “think about what they’ve done”.
This immediately sent alarm bells ringing for me because I remembered an obscure hint from a year ago:
(Go to 1:00:30)
It’s brought up that gems don’t need food to live, because they get their energy from light instead. Alex Hirsch asks what would happen if a gem was placed in a dark room for a long amount of time.
Rebecca: I can’t answer that.
There’s a good chance this is the gem equivalent to starvation. And the Diamonds used it to reprimand Pink. That is torture.
I have always suspected that white diamonds use pearl to monitor pink diamonds~ At that time, the conversation between White Diamond and Steven made me feel very strange!
I really like that it seems like more and more yuri is directly confronting and debunking “it’s just a phase” rhetoric and showing how harmful and wrong it is.
I also always love seeing adult lesbians in yuri/anime in general. We even get to see them living together and kissing!
Sayaka is told by her middle school girlfriend their feelings are just a phase. She’s crushed and eventually tries to convince herself its true. But then she sees adult lesbians in a happy relationship, definitive proof its not true. And she’s able to confide in this adult, discuss her feelings of liking girls and see hope for her own future. It’s really great, and it really warms my heart to see depictions of adult lesbians supporting younger members of the community. Bloom into You is Good.
