Remember this infamous origin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKiahumuaAI

If you think about it, there are similarities between Amethyst and Ice King. Both have long white hair, are comedic, immortal, and rarely take certain situations seriously. But enough about that, onto the theory.

At some point before the picture in So Many Birthdays was taking, Amethyst used to be thin, and her hair used to be a darker shade of purple. Until one day, she stumbled upon what possibly caused the Gem Monsters' corruption. With just a tiny bit of it, Amethyst slowly begins to descend into madness. Which includes eating more than she's supposed to.

"I know my mind is changing, (munches some food to her mouth) but I'm too far gone to know what to do. Not to mention I've been eating a lot lately. If Rose, Pearl and Garnet are watching this orb. If I do... if I do things that jeopardize our missions, get us or myself killed, and hurt anyone. Please forgive me!"

I actually don't know if Gems use Orbs as recording tapes.
