My feelings on Pink Diamond

So this one will be short but I just wanna get this out there.

Pink was a terrible gem. She was a spoiled brat who bitched, moaned, and groaned till she got her own planet.

AFTER getting said planet she immediately got bored with it. Ungrateful brat.

Anyway, let's go to her..."shattering." She faked her shattering to "show Rose means business."

Personally I'm sure she could've done that differently.

Think about it: what if the other Diamonds used to be different? I mean we know that Blue was never so depressed before Pink did what she did. So she literally made Blue sink into depression.

But like- what if Yellow was never so short tempered? What if she was more merciful before all that? What if the stress of her blaming herself for Pink's death has just made her cruel? (As unlikely as it is)

What if White used to openly show emotion to Pink? I mean kind of doubtful but I did say what if. I mean do you think that White left her head while Pink was still around? I believe that she probably did.

But after Pink's "death", she grew cold and distant. Sure, how she spoke to Steven at first was condescending and all but you'd be pretty mad if you were in her heels.

Pink literally deceived and entire army of people into fighting for her by pretending she wasn't a Diamond herself.

I mean think logically, don't you think the Diamonds would see that there is an issue when their own sister turns on them? It would've been better and possibly more peaceful if she wasn't Rose!

Then onto how she turned on her family. She left them for a single damn planet. If you say that she did that because she "loved" the earth then you'd be just confirming she's a childish brat.

Think about it. What mature, logical person would turn on their family for something so insignificant?

Don't think of it in your own human mind, think of it from Pink's point of view; she's a Diamond, destined to lead gems when she matures enough to be responsible with it, she has a nice life with her family despite her throwing fits about not getting her own planet and god knows what else, and she has more influence than any other gem below her.

Why the hell throw it out for a planet? No, I think the "I love earth and don't want it to die" was just a cover.

I'm not 100% sure what she wanted out of this. Maybe to prove she was better than they thought of her. Maybe she just got bored and went too far.

She could've stopped the war at any second by showing her true self, but I mean she didn't.

How bout that? Steven, a young teenage human was full on willing to give his life for something he had nothing to even do with but Pink wouldn't give herself up when all she would've gotten was some time in timeout?

She is at least a thousand years old, if she didn't grow up then, she never will. In the end, she always stayed the person she once was.

I mean she never cared about humans truly! They were all toys in her eyes until Greg came along. And even then, what if she just used him to make Steven?

And here comes that part. Steven was probably right ya know. She more than likely made him to run and hide from her mistakes and whatever punishment she'd get.

Maybe Pink Steven was just another mask of hers?... ok maybe that's going too far from anything that would ever be cannon but I mean, you get my point.

Maybe she didn't know she'd be gone for good. Maybe she just wanted a break from everything and just left her teammates to mourn her while she relaxed in her gem but it go according to plan.

Nope, she left him with an unstable fusion and a slaty Pearl who would OBVIOUSLY do something drastic like say, oh I don't know- try to rip his gem out?

Let him jump off a fucking cliff and not batt an eye? (Rose's scabbard)

Belittle him for not being as good as Rose and for taking her away quite often?
Your Pearl was mentally fucked up and you knew it Pink.

And on the case of Pearl, she put the poor gem on this emotional roller coaster, pretending she loved her but only ever expressing love to humans, eventually settling for Greg instead of Pearl, the gem who had been in her life for all that time...talk about an ultimate friend zone.

Now let's think about it this way. Pink always told them that there was no way to cure corruption, that her healing tears couldn't do it. If the Diamonds knew how to undo them, so did she.

No, she hid that fact from them. When the gems would reform like Centi would, she'd hide that so Pearl would never bring up that with the other Diamonds could help fix them; or maybe she was in on it, idk.

She was so stubborn that instead of trying to go to the Diamonds for help, she just let all the corrupted gems stay that way and imprisoned.

She could've ended all this any time she wanted but she didn't. She was selfish and stubborn.

Don't say it was for the freedom of gems, because they are worse off corrupted than working under the Diamonds. She lost the war and was still too stubborn to fully admit defeat by giving herself up. Also, she wasn't fighting for Gems, that was just a front so they would follow her for more than just the earth.

Anyway, if you have any arguments on how she was a good person, leave it in the comments, and I'll tell you why she's not.

And as always, have a good morning, evening, night, or afternoon, and I'll see all of you again really soon.

In my other story...

I would like to say, I was an OG Pink hater, I knew from the start she couldn't be trusted...just sayin'
