This took forever to find, hence the delay.

BD Theory

Off the top of my head, fusions like Opal come to mind as exceptions, but, maybe it's different for fusions? I thought it was an interesting aesthetic observation though.

I did see that Roundtable theory in the "Who Really Shattered Pink Diamond" thread; in fact, I'm pretty sure you posted it.

My issues with the theory:

Size discrepancy has been a pervasive issue in series, and it's even brought up in video:  "It Could've Been Great" precedes "Message Received", so the artists/Crewniverse probably conceptualized the Diamonds around the same time, but changed it later on.



 Also, BD's grieving pattern does not reflect someone who "mercy-killed" another. These individuals don't feel guilt about what they've done, because they honestly believe it was the right thing to do.

 Instead, I imagine that if a Diamond, like BD, did shatter PD, it was an accident. In BD's case, she has suppressed memories of the event, because it was just so traumatic that she probably couldn't even function. Sounds like a defense mechanism to me, but maybe WD and YD have something to do with it.
