i know that rose said that gems are made with a programming, already knowing what they’re here for, but everything about her behaviour contradicts that statement. she didn’t know what yellow was doing or that creating gems implied taking life away from planets, not generating something brand new. she knows things, but they are too generic, as if she had observed someone else do it and learned from it, as if she was mirroring someone else.
it’s a behaviour that she reiterates with garnet and bismuth and pearl, and the crystal gems. she continuously takes example from them and it’s open to new points of view, and even absorbs them with ease. she’s naturally curious.
and that makes me think why? why does she have to learn instead of having innate knowledge about her purpose much like the other gems?
does this imply she was not made to be a colonizer? why she’s there for?
she seems so useless on homeworld, and god knows how long she was colony-less back there. she looks like she wanted to do what the yellow and blue did but didn’t understand why they couldn’t trust her with something she should be naturally good at.
yellow is literally waiting for her to be ready. and it’s like, what? ready? is this implying that there’s a time when she’s not? and it’s natural? is this suggesting it’s a normal diamond thing phase or what? but then again gems don’t grow up? ……what’s happening here..?
