This song suit Steven Universe so much! 

The Abusive Treatment the Diamonds Showed Pink

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of neglect, emotional abuse, manipulation, child abuse

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE ENTIRE PLOT OF STEVEN UNIVERSE!!!

For the first leg of the series, Pink Diamond was painted to be a major antagonist. However once the Gems learned that Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond were one and the same, many fans began to resent Pink/Rose for her selfish actions. When looking back at the pain she has caused, it can make one wonder why she turned out to be so selfish in her decision-making. I propose that the answer lies in her upbringing by the other diamonds, primarily the two that had the most contact with her, Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond.

Yellow Diamond made it quite clear to Pink that she did not view her as an equal, but a child to be looked after. In Stevonnie’s shared dream/flashback sequence in “Jungle Moon”, Yellow Diamond directly attacks Pink’s maturity by snapping at her and telling her that she doesn’t behave how someone of her status should. When Yellow isn’t lecturing Pink, she neglects her needs entirely, seeing Pink as a hindrance that would distract her from her work running the empire.

Blue Diamond, instead of neglecting Pink, emotionally abused her by using her power of projecting her emotions onto others to make Pink feel just as upset (if not more) than her. She also guilt-tripped Pink for behaving immaturely and manipulated Pink into always feeling like the problem, which we see very clearly in Steven’s flashback/dream in the series finale, “Change Your Mind”. Steven makes this point of Blue’s abusive behavior best when he confronts her with the question; “How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?”

The most damning of all, and also illustrated clearly by “Change Your Mind”, they locked Pink away in a tower by herself when she misbehaved. This is just textbook child abuse, as it completely isolated Pink from the outside world. She would be kept in that tower for ages until the other diamonds felt she had been in there long enough to show improvement, like some twisted version of a time-out or grounding. While Pink Diamond did do many things I can’t agree with, I would argue that with the information as to why she is the way she is, it makes more sense that she tended to fend for her own happiness above all else.

Blue's Nightmare

I DID SOMETHING FOR MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!

This was my first animatic, and I made it out of boredom, so there are still some things I'd like to improve. The entire video is based purely on my interpretation of the song and Pink's persona in the show.

One of my favorite clips:

The link of the whole video is in my bio if you wanna check it out!

Just a little something from my upcoming animatic! Guess who is it about?

I always had a soft spot for Pink, in fact I kinda feel very sorry for her. She did her best to change and protect those who she care about. Her actions doesn't have the best outcome but till the end she tried to learn from her failures. Most people don't really understand (or acknowledge) that she was one of the greatest victim through out the show it's just that her story were told backwards so people came to hate her, I personally love the diamonds but I firmly believe that Pink deserve better.

My first little one-shot!
