One of the best things about Rose not being a diamond would be the possibility of Steven meeting other rose quartzes. Not because they’re sort of like his Mom and remind him of someone he’s never met – that part would mostly just be sad – because they’re sort of like him.

I want Steven and a bunch of young rose quartzes bonding over the pressure of getting the hang of your healing powers when people you fight alongside are relying on you. Chatting about plant minions and how to keep control of them and, oh yeah, you’re meant to only use them for battle, but a couple of us have secret pet flowers because we were practising and then kind of got attached. Discussing tactics and how to fight alongside people with more aggressive powers, and agreeing that Connie and Steven seem to have figured it out for themselves.
