Ok, here's MY Lion/Rose Theory: It's been stated multiple times in the show, even by Steven, that Rose gave up her physical form to give birth to Steven; A Gem's physical form is really their gem itself, so Rose passed her physical form to Steven, making him Half-Gem. At the end of Keep Beach City Weird, Ronaldo mentions Polymorphic Sentient Rocks, which is basically what the Gems are. Which brings me to my theory: What happened to the Sentience of Rose? What if part of Rose's sentience merged with a lion, turning it pink and giving it magical powers and a pocket dimension in its mane? In Lars and the Cool Kids and in Mirror Gem, Pearl was shown to use her gem as a pocket dimension to hold police tape and the mirror Lapis was held in. This leads me to believe that this is a natural Gem ability, and it would make sense for Lion to have this ability if he has the Sentience/Spirit of Rose Quartz in him. It also explains why he had Rose's flag, her sword, Greg's T-shirt, the picture of Rose and Greg together, etc. Also why the pocket dimension only opened for Steven, since he has the Rose Quartz gem. Lion is also able to walk on water, an ability that's been shown by Gems such as Lapis Lazuli, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, gem fusion Opal, and even the Half-Gem Steven. It's just a theory, and you're welcome to poke holes in it.
