It’s not a happy ending (the Corruption is an awful, awful thing) and the Off-Color Gems are disheartened by hearing about what happened to all those other Gems. And we know the rest from there-she joins forces with Pearl, Garnet, and Bismuth, creates the Crystal Gems, shatters Pink Diamond, and survives when the rest of the Diamonds sends the Corruption light down on Earth and corrupts the rest of the Gems.

From there it was only a matter of time before Rose Quartz officially broke free of her shackles and started openly rebelling against the Diamond Authority. Broadening her horizons this way led her to begin telling all the Gems around her what she would learn-which Pink Diamond (the diamond who owned Earth) began to notice. Unlike all the other soldiers mindlessly working away, she started paying attention to the Earth itself and the life that existed on it-including humans, which she began to have romantic feelings toward. Turns out what made Rose so special were her observational skills. I’ve always wondered, what exactly happened to Rose to make her turn against her own people and start a war no one else had considered fighting?Īge Ain't Nothin' but a Number?: How Important Is the Gap When it Comes to Dating

It’s a story that Steven pays special attention to because he doesn’t know a lot about his own mother.

To prove how wrong this was, Garnet sits them all down and tells them the story of Earth’s revolution, of how Rose came to fight the Diamond Authority. The Off-Gems reaction to that statement (“Rose Quartz?! The Anti-Gem?!”) makes Garnet and Steven realize that the Diamonds, to save face about their defeat on Earth, created a story about Rose being a demonic villain who tried to destroy all Gems but was heroically beaten thousands of years ago. Garnet sadly remarks that that’s how she felt about herself before meeting Rose Quartz. They’re not used to being embraced on sight, or being called beautiful. She is giddy at the sight of the Off-Colors, giving each individual compliments and telling them how much she wants to hear their stories-which ends up making them uncomfortable, as they think she’s making fun of them. Since they literally aren’t going anywhere, Steven decides now’s as good a time as any to introduce everyone to Garnet, so he pulls her through Lars’ portal.
