![]() Some viewers like spoilers so if you’re one of the types who want to know if a show’s going to be good before watching it, let’s talk about Rose. But to unravel what she has to do with all this, let’s first pin down who Steven Universe‘s Rose Quartz is. Aside from strawberries, the former battlefield is filled with the remains of weapons – and the remains of dead gems.Īs the series goes on, we hear only one name on the lips of every new character we meet: Rose Quartz. The episode takes us to the Gem Battlefield, now a lush field of strawberries, where Steven goes on his first real mission with the Crystal Gems. The first glimpse of the conspiracy that we see is in the eighth episode of Steven Universe, ‘ Serious Steven‘. Though the story of Steven Universe starts out as a slice of life with a touch of sci-fi, the plot quickly takes a turn for the mysterious, taking us to other worlds and alternate dimensions filled with ruins of a long-gone civilization. Whether that’s because of the three not-so-human women living on the beach with their foster son or the many extra-terrestrial encounters they have is up to you. But Steven brings up something interesting-with his having that vision of Pink Diamond in the previous episode, does this mean there’s a chance she might still be alive? We already know there’s proof Rose Quartz couldn’t have shattered Pink Diamond, at least the way everyone thinks she did.There’s always something strange going on in Beach City. This rallies Lars and the Off-Colors to find ways to repair their ship. ![]() They are proof that the Diamonds are not unbeatable. But Garnet reminds them of how far they’ve come-that there are free Gems that survived the wrath of the Diamonds, that the Off-Colors can now be called free Gems themselves. It’s not a happy ending (the Corruption is an awful, awful thing) and the Off-Color Gems are disheartened by hearing about what happened to all those other Gems. And we know the rest from there-she joins forces with Pearl, Garnet, and Bismuth, creates the Crystal Gems, shatters Pink Diamond, and survives when the rest of the Diamonds sends the Corruption light down on Earth and corrupts the rest of the Gems. ![]() From there it was only a matter of time before Rose Quartz officially broke free of her shackles and started openly rebelling against the Diamond Authority. Broadening her horizons this way led her to begin telling all the Gems around her what she would learn-which Pink Diamond (the diamond who owned Earth) began to notice. Unlike all the other soldiers mindlessly working away, she started paying attention to the Earth itself and the life that existed on it-including humans, which she began to have romantic feelings toward. Turns out what made Rose so special were her observational skills. 'Spring Breakthrough' Premieres April 30th on the Hallmark Channel I’ve always wondered, what exactly happened to Rose to make her turn against her own people and start a war no one else had considered fighting? It’s a story that Steven pays special attention to because he doesn’t know a lot about his own mother. To prove how wrong this was, Garnet sits them all down and tells them the story of Earth’s revolution, of how Rose came to fight the Diamond Authority. The Off-Gems reaction to that statement (“Rose Quartz?! The Anti-Gem?!”) makes Garnet and Steven realize that the Diamonds, to save face about their defeat on Earth, created a story about Rose being a demonic villain who tried to destroy all Gems but was heroically beaten thousands of years ago. Garnet sadly remarks that that’s how she felt about herself before meeting Rose Quartz. They’re not used to being embraced on sight, or being called beautiful. She is giddy at the sight of the Off-Colors, giving each individual compliments and telling them how much she wants to hear their stories-which ends up making them uncomfortable, as they think she’s making fun of them. Since they literally aren’t going anywhere, Steven decides now’s as good a time as any to introduce everyone to Garnet, so he pulls her through Lars’ portal.
