Nonore

So, we know Pink left Spinel all alone. But I might have an Idea why. It’s only an Idea, however. So it’s not complete.

But let’s take it back.

We know when Steven was having another flashback into Pink’s memories when he was in Gem Jail, Blue Diamond Tells Pink Diamond:

“Pink... White is very Unhappy With you... if this keeps up, she’s going to take away your Pearl...!”

That’s what Happened. Pink Pearl was taken Away from Pink. White took her away, and used her as her own Personal Intercom. To show Pink what happens. To show Pink she will no longer Tolerate her games.

Pink Pearl didn’t do anything wrong. Her corruption by white was a direct result of Pink basically fucking up again. She only did what she did to entertain Pink and love her.

Now presumably here, or somewhere near here, is where Spinel comes in. Probably a bit before, but regardless, this point in time is key. Because Pink did not have a Pearl. I know because of Spinel’s flashback and song.

There’s no pearl. No Pink Pearl. And Our Pearl isn’t there either. This means that she got Our pearl after this. This does cause some mud because Pearl herself said Pink got her a few thousand years before she got the earth, but I’m not sure about this. Why wouldn’t she be here? From what we know, Pearls stay by their diamonds unless told to be somewhere else.

Regardless, we continue. We know she gets the earth. Around here is where she gets pearl. Now here’s something interesting: In the movie, we see pearl basically get reset to factory settings and we see the “default layout”.

It’s the same as what we see in flashbacks with Pink Diamond. Do you know what this means? Pink chose the default for her Pearl. She didn’t want the same pearl she had. She didn’t want a Pink Pearl. But this also means that Pearl wasn’t White Diamond’s Pearl, and she wasn’t made for Pink specifically. Pink chose the default. The default included all four of the Diamonds’ colors and personalities. Blue’s emotional side, Yellow’s leadership, White’s motherly nature and Pink’s compassion.

Another thing... Rose’s Garden. Why would she have a garden? Why would she need a Garden? The gems never went there, the only thing that’s there is the fountain. Which we see used to cure the corrupted gems with the other diamonds help. But still... why a Garden? She could have put a fountain anywhere, and she chose a Garden. With one of the most useful and most important things to fixing things on earth. Why would she keep it in a garden? Why not a Vault, the temple, her room?

Perhaps she DID plan on retrieving her. Perhaps she made the garden for Spinel to have a smoother transition to earth. Maybe she planned to have her protect the garden. Maybe she planned for her to be there for Steven. When she couldn’t.

But when the war escalated, when she “shattered” Pink Diamond, she couldn’t. Maybe the word got to Spinel. Maybe Spinel resented Rose Quartz. There was no way for her to get through to her if she had gotten that word: it would risk everything she had established. But from the Movie, we know that she never knew. She says so in the song.

And if she got Spinel when she was pregnant with Steven, she couldn’t go to Spinel. She would risk Steven and Her own Life. If she got poofed with Steven in her, Steven would have died. Her facade would have been uncovered.
