Talk:Steven's Birthday/@comment-26462356-20160203015316

What if, maybe, just maybe, the Rose and Greg picture was not an error?

What can we deduce if we assume it is not?

Well, first we conclude that Steven was at least 3 years old when the Rose and Greg picture was taken.

It has been sugested that it is actually a picture of Greg in front of the portrait of Rose from the Beach House.



Rose's appearance in the photo somewhat, but not exactly, matches the portrait.

I'd give it a 50/50 chance that Greg posed in front of the portrait. Maybe it was completed by Vidalia as a 3rd birthday present for Steven, and Greg got a bit silly with it?

But what if we assume that it is not Greg in front of the portrait? What if it really is Rose? How could that occur?

I see two possibilities:

1) Rose is not gone, but is in hiding somewhere, and Greg knows where. (I don't think this is likely at all, but I am listing it for completeness.)

2) Rose can, on occasion, briefly reappear. That is to say she can take over Steven by emerging from the Gem and take her own form. Just for a little while, and not very often, or else she risks harming Steven. Steven would have no memory of these events.

Can anyone suggest other possibilities?

Now, I don't think either of these ideas is likely, but the Crewniverse likes to surprise us, and either case would sure be a big surprise, so I wanted to explore them a bit.
