Talk:Rose Quartz/@comment-36066281-20180707055943

While I do feel that I can probably guess what kind of replies that I’m going to be getting for this post, still feel the need to actually have it said, as well replied to; does Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond really deserve the kind of guff that she’s been getting as of late?

I mean yes she did keep a very important secret about herself from her loved ones, that’s about all that she did that seemed “wrong”; she just let people think that Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond were two different people. But she genuinely did take a liking to the earth, she genuinely did see the worth and value of organic beings, and she genuinely did feel that the colonization process was detrimental to it all and had to be stopped. Yes she did seem a tad bit bratty in that one jungle moon flashback, but, do try to look at things from her point of view and try to understand them; she was a member of a group of elite class gems which she was supposed to equal to, and yet, they all had multiple colonies and followers of their very own, all while she none to her name whatsoever at all, and the only real reason for that that is known to us at this point is that they didn’t want to give her one until they saw fit to, how exactly is easy to see as fair? I mean, when it comes right down to it; she was just trying to play the role that her Gem type entailed, being a leader of a colony, how was that wrong given the circumstances at the time? Anyways, when she was finally given her own world to rule, she was prepared to do what had to done when it came to doing so, even if she did find a little dull. And, yes she was a little bit bubbly and over eager to see gems emerge at first but that was just the way that she was and she was originally only going to be posing as a Rose Quartz for just one day. Then, like I already said so before, she truly did start to see the true beauty and real worth of the Earth and all things that lived there, and then was very quick to realize that she was initially destroying it all by colonizing the planet, a fact that truly concerned her to say the absolute least. Isn’t that what the original view of Rose Quartz was at first; she was a gem who followed Homeworld’s ways up until she became enthralled by the Earth’s beauty? And do keep in mind that she was originally trying to handle keeping the earth safe as a Diamond and through nonviolent means at first. She tried to convince Yellow and Blue to allow her to let the earth be, but ended up getting her nowhere at all. Then, even when she decided to become Rose Quartz, she was originally just trying get Homeworld to leave through fear, nothing more, nothing less. And when she started to form the Crystal Gems, it was pretty much for the exact same reason that they all thought it was at first; she wanted to help outcast gems to become free of, as well as well safe from, the rigidly strict caste society that Homeworld was imposing upon, especially when she saw that they had dreams and thoughts that initially veered away from their original purposes. She wanted the gems who followed her to be free of Homeworld’s rules and laws, isn’t that what she was originally believed to have stood for? Also, from where I stand, she was pretty much just trying to get Homeworld to leave the earth alone by basically making it seem like it was more trouble than it was worth, the ensuing war could just as easily be blamed on Yellow and Blue’s stubbornness and need to be in control as it can be on Pink’s “shortsightedness”. She genuinely did seem the type of person who wanted see gems shattered when it was completely unnecessary, she truly did seem more like the type who didn’t want anyone to be hurt any more than they were already, hence why she didn’t want to use Bismuth’s breaking point, she didn’t want to escalate the death and destruction any more than it already was. Also, keep in mind that with the way that we were already shown just how both Yellow and Blue initially treated her, it was easy to believe that she came to believe that they didn’t really care about her all that much and to her credit, destroying the leader of the opposition is a pretty good tactic that can go a long way when it comes to ending a war. As for the result of such action, well, that could just as easily be blamed on Blue and Yellow for not letting Pink know how much they really cared for her until it was too late. So, when it comes right down to it, she is still the great person that everyone initially remembers; she fought for the Earth to live on, she fought for gems to be free of Homeworld’s rules and laws, she fought for freedom in general. So she was actually Pink Diamond in disguise, does that really change all of the good things that she accomplished?
