I always wondered since Gems don’t need to sleep, what do they do with all that time? It can probably be very boring, unless they find a hobby. I guess stalking sleeping humans counts as one of them. Amethyst probably sleeps since she likes doing that.

The way Rose was putting it at the end of her video makes it seem like Steven is some sort of ‘reincarnation’ of her (But with Greg’s human DNA modifications?). I’m getting ‘Avatar’ vibes now, and by Avatar, I mean the Nickelodeon cartoon show.



...Hmmmm, wait a moment, if Steven is Rose’s “Avatar,” doesn’t that make Greg’s ‘son…’ also his ‘wife…’ O_o'



No, Steven and Rose are two entirely separate entities. Reincarnation would mean that her "spirit" would be passed down to another vessel when they die. This isn't the case for Rose, as she gave up her vessel, her gem, to another "spirit" that is not her's, this "spirit" is an amlgam of Greg and Rose's traits which came to be known as Steven. So technically, Steven is not his mom's "spirit" but his own entirely different "spirit", Rose only gave up her physical form so Steven could live. Rose's "spirit" is still inside the rose quartz gem Steven has because as she said, "And I need you to know, that every moment that you love being yourself. . .  That's me, loving you and loving being you."
