Hey guys uhhh good chance the diamonds used literal torture to reprimand Pink Diamond.

We saw at the end of the episode that Yellow Diamond stuck Stevonnie in a pitch black cell to “think about what they’ve done”.

This immediately sent alarm bells ringing for me because I remembered an obscure hint from a year ago:

(Go to 1:00:30)

It’s brought up that gems don’t need food to live, because they get their energy from light instead. Alex Hirsch asks what would happen if a gem was placed in a dark room for a long amount of time.





Rebecca: I can’t answer that.





There’s a good chance this is the gem equivalent to starvation. And the Diamonds used it to reprimand Pink. That is torture.
