“Never know when you might need one of these.”

Like maybe when you’re anticipating an invasion from Homeworld any day now? A giant battle axe might just come in handy then. So I have several thoughts, concerning the above: First, that is a big fucking axe. What kind of gem would wield that? A fusion maybe? Two, Garnet stronk. Three, is the purple gem bit on the top for decoration, or is this axe somehow gem-powered? And lasty (I think), we know that when our gem’s use their weapons - Amethyst’s whip, Garnet’s guantlets, Pearl’s spear, Steven’s shield - that when they’re no longer using them, the weapons disappear. They, like the gem’s bodies, are hard light constructs I think. But - and I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this before now - Rose’s sword is still around, but Rose’s isn’t. All of these weapons in the battlefield are still here, but their owners are long gone. So these weapons must be manufactured and not summoned. I wonder, though, what use that would be? Why would you want to use a “man-made” weapon over one you can summon? Maybe all gems can’t summon weapons? Maybe humans fought alongside gems in the war? Maybe there’s some other advantage physical weapons have over ones made of hard light? Posted

Wow, the beginning of this episode is chock-full of information. Amethyst wasn’t around for the war, then? We now know that the kindergarten was in operation 6,000 years ago, and about a thousand years later the war was fought. So that could mean one of a few different things: either gems take an incredibly long time to grow and so Amethyst wasn’t “born” before the war began;



she was planted later than the others;

she was late “hatching;”

“newborn” gems need time to learn their abilities and how to fight With what we know from “On the Run” - that Amethyst most likely spent quite a bit of time in the kindergarten alone - I’m leaning towards either option b or c - she was either implanted late or a late bloomer, both of which raise their own web of questions. If she was implanted late, why? If she’s a late bloomer, what caused that? And who would she have been had she not been left behind? And either way, what happened to the rest of them all? Posted
