What were the “first battles for Earth”?

Here we’ve saved the best piece of speculation for last. In Sworn to the Sword, Pearl mentions that the first battles for Earth took place in the sky arena. Rose’s Scabbard makes it rather unlikely that Pearl could be referring to the rebellion, but there’s another possibility: it wasn’t the rebellion that started in the arena, but a contest …

What does We Need to Talk say about Rose Quartz?

Rose Quartz, Intergalactic Gem of Mystery. While she’s a legend in the series, and to the Crystal Gems, we don’t know a whole lot about her. She very carefully managed how others thought of her, and she seems to be thought of very differently by each of the five people/Gems who knew who she was …

What Are Gems: an informative short from Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network has put up a short, informative video about the basics of the Gems’ physical natures, by Ms. Florido and voiced by the show’s voice actors.

It doesn’t contain any information that can’t be gleaned from watching the show: Gems are their gems, which project what is effectively a hologram but with mass. If this form is …

Could Rose Quartz be Pink Diamond?

There seems to be more to Rose Quartz, beloved leader of the Crystal Gems, than meets the eye. The series has dropped some pretty heavy hints that she used to be a very important Gem: Pink Diamond. We can’t be sure at this point whether Pink Diamond is her gem type and Rose Quartz is …

What we learned from Keeping It Together

Giant Woman was our first look at fusion. Coach Steven followed not too long after (though the intervening summer hiatus made it feel a lot longer) and gave us another perspective. Fusion Cuisine showed us a particularly dysfunctional fusion after that.
