Alright, it's Jaydom Studios here, with a little theory about GEMS. Yes, this "kids" show with magic fighting rocks, little-to-no humor and far too many lesbians really has some complicated science behind it. But, I started thinking about it, and I actually dug up something very interesting...

Before we start, we need to ask one vital question: "Are gems living or nonliving?" This is crucial because if gems have DNA, we can align them with a common ancestor and make a statement. This would actually be pretty hard to answer, but we actually have something that can instantly tell us the answer: Steven. If gems could give birth, they are living. Morever, Steven actually gives us a common ancestor as well: Humans.

This may seem crazy, but it actually makes sense. To breed two species and make a stable child, they need to be matched up enough in DNA. Let me explain this: you can breed a poodle and a sheepdog to make a "sheepoo" Heh heh heh, "sheepoo". Say it out loud, and you'll see what I mean! Anyways, you can't breed a poodle and a cat. If you can breed a human and a gem, you know that their common ancestors are at least similar.

"But o'mighty Jaydom" you might say "Aren't gems physical bodies an illusion?" Well, their physical bodies can't be an illusion, otherwise they couldn't make Steven. Wait a second...

If I hadn't just watched a very nice episode of Doctor Who, I'd say that I've hit a brick wall. But I have, and due to the Cybermen, I actually have a very interesting theory. This kind of relies on the theory that Steven Universe takes place in an alternate universe from ours. Once apon a time, there were just humans, and the moon and Earth were connected. They were digging into the ground and retrieving gemstones, that they infused with magic. How or why the did it, I don't know. Maybe this an an alternate universe where Pokèmon existed.

Anyways, one day, the moon broke off from Earth. Mass panic, blah blah blah. The atmosphere stayed with Earth, so the humans that were still on the moon at the time were forced to infuse themselves with the magic gems they created. They developed more and more abilities with their magic gems. Eventually, they forgot they were ever human, and started calling themselves "Gems". Their gems helped them build this advanced technology. It was such a symbiotic relationship, they forgot it existed and considered themselves one being.

After most likely millenia of not being fed any sustenance, these gems used their newly developed "powers" to pillage Earth and steal energy from their ground. Let's face it, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that you can't make free energy from nothing. We all know the part about the gem war and the Crystal Gems staying on Earth while the vanilla Gems went back to Gemtopia or whatever to pout about it for the next ten thousand years.

So there you have it. The vanilla gems don't seem so bad no, considering that they were here only to feed themselves. Well, think on it, and have a good night, folks!
