Okay SO! I've seen a lot of people comparing Obsidian to Taka from Moana, which is reasonable but I have a slightly different idea! And that is that Obsidian is based off of the Hindu Goddess Kali! Don't believe my theory? Take a look for yourself!

From this image it seems like a stretch but look at some other paintings of Kali!

Some depictions are even similar to Obsidian in color! Or even her second face! Albeit not an actual face on the goddess. Other than that Kali happens to be a war goddess, and what does Obsidian do in the the episode? Freakin FIGHT! But this leads me onto another tangent, was a general theme of Change Your Mind inspired by Hinduism?? Well, to put it broadly, Hinduism is an outlook on life to essentially live as happy and as prosperous as you can while also AVOIDING being reincarnated. And what is Steven trying to do? Get everyone to live as happily as possible! And when his gem got removed what happened? Pink didn't form, a Pink Steven did! Essentially saying that Pink Diamond AVOIDED being reincarnated!

Now I wanna talk about something interesting about White Diamond that ties this all in, after White Diamond becomes "Off-Color" due to Steven, it is revealed that she's not flawless at all, but she's fabricated an illusion that she's supposed to be flawless and so she has no real understanding of her true nature. Why am I talking about this?

Well, it all has to do with another concept of Hinduism, "Maya". Maya is at its most basic explanation, an (often self fabricated) illusion that hides the truth about ones self and their true nature, status, and purpose. Thus, I believe that Change Your Mind was heavily inspired by Hinduism.

Anyways, that is my little theory on Change Your Mind, I know it's probably got some flaws but hey, all theories do, either way I hope you found it interesting!

So since the movie is coming out in a little more than a month I feel like some of my gem designs are going to end up being obsolete regarding what gem they are. I'm pretty bad at finding alternate gems so I was hoping I could get some help picking out alternative gemstones for my gemsonas.

Currently I have some different colored Spinel gemsonas and I was wondering if there were any gems that came in multiple colors (mainly Purple Red and Pink) That aren't in the show, and aren't as commonly known.

Well, Do I really have to pick one? I really don't want to say in case I hurt someone's feelings, if I picked one person all the other people I know would probably feel bad, and I don't want my friends to feel bad so, I don't feel like I should answer that part.

I won't go into full detail but I'll just give you a small taste of myself! I'm a 6000 year old Ammolite who was made on a planet a few sectors away from Homeworld! I actually took part in the gem war as well.. it, wasn't a fun time.. I was on homeworld's side but then one fateful day I was struck down in the heat of battle with a cracked gem, then I met her, Rose Quartz. Despite being one of Homeworld's gems she healed my cracked gem, it was then that I realized how much she actually cared for others, so then from that day forward I joined th Crystal gems in the war against homeworld! I actually spent most of my time on a ship attempting to blast down incoming ships from homeworld, so when the Diamond attack occurred me and my Crew were far enough away to avoid being corrupted. And now here we are now! Living happily on Earth! Some other stuff about me not regarding backstory would probably just be simple things, like the fact that ice cream is my favorite thing ever and that scuba diving is something I do regularly- well it's not really scuba diving since I don't need to breathe, it's more like just, walking underwater and checking out all the cool fish and other wildlife! So yeah those are some facts about myself!
