Animatic: DIAMONDS_ Steven Universe

O VÍDEO TEM LEGENDA! :DD

The truth behind Pink was that she was just a person. A person who made horrible mistakes but did beautiful things. She’s just an abstract version of us if you think about it. A beautiful, destructive, human in the form of gem/diamond.

Pink not being depicted as a monster? I LOVE YOU

I love how complex she is. I wasn’t a big fan of Rose at first because she’s been praised for being angel that can’t do wrong. And then we learn the dark truth behind Rose/Pink. She became incredibly interesting to me after that. She’s a morally gray and complex character and I love it lol.

Rose is a superlative representation of someone raised by abusive narcissists, who recognizes their own abuse well into adulthood, and then tries their best to be better. I feel for her so hard. If that's been your life, no matter how much work you do on yourself, it's nearly impossible to forgive yourself or forget the harm you caused others, even when you know that you'd never had anyone to teach you to be better than your parents. (Remember when Garnet realized that Rose had been following her example all along?) Sometimes it feels like all you can do is run. There is, realistically, no neat or perfect way to break the cycle of abuse, but the person who tries to do that is always seen as disruptive and selfish, even by those who should understand. People are always hurt when the scapegoat leaves, and that's one of the reasons abuse is so terrible. Rose tried her best. Steven accused her of having him to clean up her messes; I see her choice as the only option she felt she had to completely end that cycle. She'd tried for five thousand years and still couldn't fix everything, or forget her mistakes and all the people she hurt. So she became someone else completely - not just Rose, but Steven, an entirely new being, capable of fully loving himself and others. Someone on the writing staff knew what it's like from personal experience. The layers to the ugliness of that specific kind of recovery are just too complex for it to be otherwise.

God, I love when people don’t blame Pink for being abused and actually treat her like the complex character she is. THANK YOU!

The moment when Pink sees Pearl and drops to her knees really got me. The realization of irreversably hurting Volleyball finally sinks in as this new one looks loyally in her eyes That was probably the second she promised to herself never to have another tantrum

I do not understand how people can be empathy towards Spinel but just ignore Pink Diamond’s trauma

It genuinely sucks that pple always say they want deep and complex characters but whenever there actually is one , like Rose, they arent able to handle it or only see bits and pieces and not the whole picture. Rose is literally so complex and " grey" and it sucks thst a lot of people only see black or white

I really want a spin off series where it starts like with Rose’s final moments before Steven is born and then it flashes back to her as Pink and we just get to watch her grow and maybe some of the crazy shenanigans that she did. It wouldn’t even need to be that long of a series but I’d love to see the before stuff more in depth and expanded upon.

The Problem with pink was that we saw her life in the wrong Order So everyone forgot how good she became and was just thinking about how bad she was

She made mistakes as pink diamond, but learned from them and bloomed into a rose <3

Rose/ Pink DEFINITELY gets too much flack. Because her story was told backwards most only see her mistakes which isn’t fair considering how much she tried to change and fix her mistakes. Of course she’s not perfect but she did genuine good. This animatic is beautiful 🥰

Finally a video that doesn’t portray Pink as strictly a villain. She is, by far, probably the most complex character of SU. Abused to being abusive, standing idly by to leading an entire army, choosing an entire species over her own because of the potential she saw. Incredible.

Pink really showed that NO ONE is perfect, its the flaws that make u different , she also showed that ONE THING, MOMENT, WORD can change everything for everyone

[ this is pretty late but I wanted to add my thoughts ] Personally, I never saw Pink Diamond as the villain. Ngl it’s really frustrating to see people feeling bad for Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond and White Diamond when they were the ones who abused Pink. Pink is definitely a very complex and honestly, quite a tragic character. I feel pretty bad for her, it’s clear that she was suffering from things like abuse and self-loathing (and I say this because since she was locked away for pretty much acting like herself, she probably grew to hate herself so much. This probably explains why she decided to go into a disguise and decided to make her former self, Pink Diamond, seem like a villain and her current self, Rose Quartz, an Angel) I think it’s pretty hard for some people to like Pink due to what happened with Spinel. I’ve noticed that the hate towards her increased after the movie with Spinel, so I’d like to offer my thoughts on it. Honestly, I can see why Pink decided to leave Spinel. I think people tend to forget that Pink was literally planning a secret rebellion, she probably thought she couldn’t trust Spinel since Spinel could of easily told the other Diamonds. Another thing is that Spinel, at the time, was very immature and playful. I mean, she’s literally designed to be like that since her purpose was to give endless entertainment. Pink probably thought she wouldn’t be cut out for war due to Spinel’s immaturity, so that could be counted as another reason too. Now, does this excuse Pink? No, of course not. What happened to Spinel was bad, but I could honestly see why Pink decided to do what she did. Overall, I don’t think Pink is the villain. I mean, if we really want to point fingers, I’d point it at White Diamond. Pink definitely didn’t have bad intentions and without her choosing to rebel, Earth would of been destroyed, Steven never would of existed, Garnet wouldn’t be a thing, Pearl would still be a servant, Amethyst would of also just been another cog for the diamonds and everyone would still live under the cruel system that was created by the diamonds. Tbh Pink just went about it the wrong way. She definitely was ignorant and selfish and hurt a lot of people, but she also wasn’t inherently bad and genuinely wanted what’s best.

What's more beautiful about Rose is that she wasn't "perfect", not like the Diamonds neither as the Great Leader of the Gem Revolution But she had good things and mistakes. At the end she became what she loved, a human.

“Animatic” Dude, this is more than an animatic this is a masterpiece

I love this it’s so well made. You would be such a great graphic novel artist

I like the way how pearl just smiled and stared into pink’s soul while she’s crying
