Peridemption Part 4: The Manager

Edit: Because this one’s getting a lot of attention from @radioactivesupersonic​‘s look at it, I’ll post towards the main recap of this and my other thoughts. Here it is.



So one line that isn’t getting enough mention in this bomb’s discussion is a line from Yellow Diamond.

“I’ll inform your manager of your incompetence.”



Peridot’s expression is something that needs to be talked about. She looks like she’s absolutely dreading what that means. She’s not sweating, like when she’s grinding against Yellow Diamond, but there’s definitely a lot of unhappiness there.

What also needs to be talked about is that we’ve never heard of this Manager before. Peridot’s never tried to contact her, instead going over her head up to Yellow Diamond - whether it was calling for extraction or contacting about Cluster plans.

As I’ve said in earlier parts of these thoughts, Peridot is HARD to shut up. She talks at length to anyone, she’ll question anyone’s methods, and she isn’t afraid to get up in anyone’s face to tell them what she thinks is right.

So the fact that Peridot doesn’t want to speak to this manager at all? Speaks volumes.

It’s been noted multiple times, by various people, that Peridot seems to have been abused before. The environment she grew up in was pretty bad, with her being intimidated by anything new and thinking ANYTHING could be turned into a weapon against her.

Peridot’s also thought of as being young, and probably wouldn’t have had more than one manager. Most of her life would have been under this manager’s guidance and influence.

She also wants to go above the manager’s head because the higher-up she’s reaching for is viewed as “the epitome of reason”. The implication is that Peridot’s manager isn’t someone she views as reasonable.

Peridot’s Manager is her supposed Abuser.

This is why people thought Peridot was a more important gem than she was. Because she was too afraid to deal with her manager, and instead tried to report straight to Yellow Diamond.

Please, any more thoughts about this need to be spread. NOBODY is talking about this, not that I’ve seen at least, and this new character being the only person mentioned who got zero screen time at all makes me suspicious.

Thus concludes my Peridemption Thoughts. I’ll post a quick recap shortly.
