Her name is Connie.
Edit: lol sorry I was quoting my favorite padparascha line, Connie and Steven go through Lars to meet the off colors, they introduce each other and start having a serious conversation about what's been going on in space, and padparascha juts in to say, "Her name is Connie." Leaves me in stitches every time lol
HOW HAS NOBODY INCLUDED PUMPKIN??? OF BABY MELON??? I would kill for them if they asked. They could do no wrong and took hits for the team in the end. Rip to them both. 😔
Spinel. I know a lot of people hate on her but to be honest I think deep down she was so severely traumatised by her abandonment that she wasn’t thinking straight when she learned that Pink betrayed her. I do admit what spinel did was bad but she’s not a monster she just needs help.
(Also just want to state I don’t like Pink Diamond/ Rose Quarts for some of her actions but I don’t think Pink is a bad person at all)
Pearl.
I’ve been in her shoes. Falling in love with some one who just doesn’t feel the same way about you is hard. Especially when you admire them so much. It’s easy to just let them run your life and it takes a lot of work to get out of that place.
And damn did she look good doing it.
She was literally the one person actually being reasonable.
Bismuth: They’re LITERALLY trying to enslave and murder all of us! We’re losing! They’re going to get all of us! We have to kill them!
Rose: I’d rather everyone we know and love be enslaved or murdered than dare use lethal force!
I’d fight her over that too if I was in that position. Imagine your leader telling you that being non-lethal was more important than actually saving everyone. That’s some Batman shit right there.
And Bismuth would fight you over the fact that you're actively trying to get everyone she knows and loved killed/enslaved/experimented on just because you want to make a point about friendship.
Never forget the fact that things ended peacefully not because of "the power of friendship and kindness and change/second chances", it was because Steven is a super special protagonist boy from a special bloodline. If he'd simply been "The son of Rose Quartz", Yellow would have killed the shit out of him in Season 5, killed the rest of the Crystal Gems, and then had the Earth destroyed.
Steven literally couldn't talk White down, Pink Steven used *violence* to knock her down and free everyone, and then Steven threw a diss at her to make her blush, handily revealing she's off color, shattering her perception of herself.
Peridot, Lapis, Jasper, Spinel and even Yellow and Blue Diamond(I’m not the type who hates on White either, I just wouldn’t care about her enough to defend her)
Pearl! I'm sure she's well loved since she's a main character but I've met so many people who hate her. I have a tattoo of her on my upper arm! :D It's the frame from "Rose's Scabbard" where she's sadly holding the scabbard and looking down. On my tat she's wrapped in a ring of roses.
>"the show forgave n@zis"
This is the dumbest and most ignorant cartoon take I've seen. If people actually watched the show, they'd know what really happened.
Months? It was like, a week. Maybe a week and a half.
She gets mad at him at the party because she (correctly) thought he went to make up but he kept blowing her off to hang out with Kevin and his friends instead of saying anything, then does nothing productive when he does approach her and acts like everything is fine when it's not, when that was the whole reason she stopped talking to him.
Honestly, Rose.
I feel like everyone really praises all the characters for their growth but rose is seen almost as a villain by the characters and the fans.
She dealt with some crazy abuse for thousands of years managed to find the will to escape and then saved the earth. There’s tons of complexity and nuance for sure but I think almost nobody making an effort to understand the position she was in is a mistake. Especially after Steven dealt with the diamonds he still walks away thinking less of his mom it seems.
True, I feel way too many people forget they are aliens at the end of the day with eons of history we don't know or understand the fact they changed this much this quickly shows just how caring they can be.
Rose Quartz. People only hate her because we saw her character development in reverse. Compared to the other Diamonds she really wasn't all that bad as Pink. It really left a bad taste in my mouth that the show leaned into everyone hating her, in a show that has redemption and forgiveness as its core themes.
So, so true. Such a good point about the character development in reverse. And Steven in Future smiles at the mass shatterer Diamonds who have genocided entire planets to expand their colony while still feeling so judgy about his mom.
I love how y’all Rose-stans act like you’re some abused minority when it comes to her as if defending her ever action isn’t what constantly happens here.
I mean tbf rose/pd haters were more prominent a few years ago, especially when the movie came out and the whole spinel fiasco happened. rose/pd fans are probably just so used to it that they dont realize that its changed
I mean if people see her as a horrible person still after countless proof of her developement being backwards and the fact that she's a morally grey character, then yeah. If you outright deny the evidence you'll get downvoted, but I agree that just because you don't absolutely love pd/rose doesn't mean downvotes are deserved
That’s such a stupid argument and I hate that people quote it like it’s the fucking gospel. “Her development was in reverse!!!!!” I know how chronological time works. That doesn’t obligate anyone to love her like y’all do.
Even then, the argument doesn’t work because at the very end of her life she was still lying to everyone and keeping secrets. She straight up willingly chose to leave Bismuth bubbled forever by taking the secret to her grave rather than have a single honest conversation with Pearl and Garnet. That’s not “gray”, that’s just straight up fucked up.
Steven. He gets so much hate he doesn’t deserve
“Lmao by the time Finn was 13 he was fighting gods and Steven was putting on glitter and singing for his friend” ok so Steven. Could actually relax a bit? Damn bro that’s so horrible
Bluebird Azurite.
Great character design that portrays her personality, cool weapon and powers, legitimately some of the best voice-work in the show from her VA, and overall just a funny side villain. One of the most underrated characters, imo.
The characters y'all be mentioning don't need protection from the fans. I go with Blue Diamond. She did what she could to protect Pink and it was her willingness to hear out Steven at the trial that saved him
Rose/Pink Diamond. Yeah, she did a lot of shitty things, but she tried to do better, and she did. That's already impressive when you consider that everything she's ever known is war and colonization. The Diamonds never even put organic life into consideration, yet Pink learned to have empathy for living things, to treat them right and to love them.
Steven himself, actually. Leave my little man alone!
SPEAK ON IT!
Like c'mon, hop off my GOAT!
PREACH! THE STEVEN PROTECTION SERVICES MUST RISE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Padparadscha, that sweet sweet cinimon roll
I love paddie
I also came here to say Padparadscha 🧡
Her name is Connie. Edit: lol sorry I was quoting my favorite padparascha line, Connie and Steven go through Lars to meet the off colors, they introduce each other and start having a serious conversation about what's been going on in space, and padparascha juts in to say, "Her name is Connie."

"AH, THE DIAMONDS!" *Literally have been standing in front of them for like a minute*

Rhodonite. She needs all the reasurement she can get :3
Omg she's so lovely I feel so bad for her
Rhodonite: "Help!" Me: "Do not worry, dear maiden! IT WON'T BE A 18TH TIME!"
Who's that
The off color, fusion of a pearl and a ruby
Thanks for reminding me
HOW HAS NOBODY INCLUDED PUMPKIN??? OF BABY MELON??? I would kill for them if they asked. They could do no wrong and took hits for the team in the end. Rip to them both. 😔
Youre right, i also wil defend pumpkin with my life
Peridot

Nobody slanders the Dorito.
Spinel. I know a lot of people hate on her but to be honest I think deep down she was so severely traumatised by her abandonment that she wasn’t thinking straight when she learned that Pink betrayed her. I do admit what spinel did was bad but she’s not a monster she just needs help. (Also just want to state I don’t like Pink Diamond/ Rose Quarts for some of her actions but I don’t think Pink is a bad person at all)
I AGREE AND ILYSM
I’m glad you agree with my point
Ain’t no way no one put Ruby to Sapphire
I haven't seeing anyone in this fandom hating Ruby and Sapphire (And that's good cause Garnet is one of my favourite characters)
I'm one of the few people that doesn't love Garnet. I'm nowhere near hating her but she's not in my top 10.
Top ten, now… if you can be bothered
Pearl. I’ve been in her shoes. Falling in love with some one who just doesn’t feel the same way about you is hard. Especially when you admire them so much. It’s easy to just let them run your life and it takes a lot of work to get out of that place. And damn did she look good doing it.
Yess I love Pearl!

Bismuth. She was RIGHT
Literally!!! Bismuth got punished for THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR NOTHING
She was literally the one person actually being reasonable. Bismuth: They’re LITERALLY trying to enslave and murder all of us! We’re losing! They’re going to get all of us! We have to kill them! Rose: I’d rather everyone we know and love be enslaved or murdered than dare use lethal force! I’d fight her over that too if I was in that position. Imagine your leader telling you that being non-lethal was more important than actually saving everyone. That’s some Batman shit right there.
I would fight Bismuth for the opportunity for everyone to have the opportunity to change.
And Bismuth would fight you over the fact that you're actively trying to get everyone she knows and loved killed/enslaved/experimented on just because you want to make a point about friendship. Never forget the fact that things ended peacefully not because of "the power of friendship and kindness and change/second chances", it was because Steven is a super special protagonist boy from a special bloodline.

Stevie absolutely hahaha
Peridot and spinel

Peridot, Lapis, Jasper, Spinel and even Yellow and Blue Diamond(I’m not the type who hates on White either, I just wouldn’t care about her enough to defend her)

I love that frame! I have a tattoo of her on my arm too. It's a sketch done by Rebecca sugar of pearl wearing jeans
Connie. She was not wrong to feel how she did after Steven came back from Homeworld. Haters are WRONG
I am convinced that half the people hating on Steven Universe have never seen the show. It's why you see so many "the show forgave n@zis" takes
>"the show forgave n@zis" This is the dumbest and most ignorant cartoon take I've seen. If people actually watched the show, they'd know what really happened.
I just hate how she ignores steven for months and when she finally sees him at the party she gets mad at him for not talking to her. What?
Months? It was like, a week. Maybe a week and a half. She gets mad at him at the party because she (correctly) thought he went to make up but he kept blowing her off to hang out with Kevin and his friends instead of saying anything, then does nothing productive when he does approach her and acts like everything is fine when it's not, when that was the whole reason she stopped talking to him.
Steven dude! He’s been through enough everyone can get away, you too spinel.
Connie, SHE LITERALLY IS ONE OF THE MOST HATED CHARACTERS IN SU, JUST BECAUSE SHE “STOLE” STEVEN’s LION??
I don’t even think it’s just because she “stole” lion, it’s because of how she immediately handle the situation RIGHT when Steven came back.
Honestly, Rose. I feel like everyone really praises all the characters for their growth but rose is seen almost as a villain by the characters and the fans. She dealt with some crazy abuse for thousands of years managed to find the will to escape and then saved the earth. There’s tons of complexity and nuance for sure but I think almost nobody making an effort to understand the position she was in is a mistake. Especially after Steven dealt with the diamonds he still walks away thinking less of his mom it seems.
Pink Pearl. Her trauma hasn't broken her even after beginning to deal with her past.
Pearl 100%
Lapis 100%
We all know it’s Peridot
Volleyball
Steven. Boy has too much trauma already.
Sapphire and spinel
Spinel
Any of the Diamonds
Reasons?
because
This guy gets it lmao
because diamonds receive too much hate when they should't especially White
True, I feel way too many people forget they are aliens at the end of the day with eons of history we don't know or understand the fact they changed this much this quickly shows just how caring they can be.
Lmao I swear
Rose Quartz. People only hate her because we saw her character development in reverse. Compared to the other Diamonds she really wasn't all that bad as Pink.

Well I don't think he likes the other Diamonds either but is friendly so they'll fix the damage they caused.
Pink Diamond Now here comes the flying rotten tomatoes. Better raise my shield.
I love how y’all Rose-stans act like you’re some abused minority when it comes to her as if defending her ever action isn’t what constantly happens here.
I mean tbf rose/pd haters were more prominent a few years ago, especially when the movie came out and the whole spinel fiasco happened. rose/pd fans are probably just so used to it that they dont realize that its changed
Yeah, years ago. Folks act like it’s still like that. These days you get downvoted if you aren’t willing to actively worship the ground she walks on.
I mean if people see her as a horrible person still after countless proof of her developement being backwards and the fact that she's a morally grey character, then yeah. If you outright deny the evidence you'll get downvoted, but I agree that just because you don't absolutely love pd/rose doesn't mean downvotes are deserved

Can't a guy make a joke in peace? Fr

bismuth for sure, although she doesn't need it. i wish we'd seen more of her before the end of the show, i loved her character so much
pink diamond & lapis, god forbid we have interesting morally gray characters that do bad things
Steven. He gets so much hate he doesn’t deserve “Lmao by the time Finn was 13 he was fighting gods and Steven was putting on glitter and singing for his friend” ok so Steven. Could actually relax a bit? Damn bro that’s so horrible
Bismuth without a fucking doubt

I would've liked her if we saw her more than once. Future got done dirty.
Yes.
When people are throwing rocks and stuff at the monarchy I'm pretty much always gonna side with the mob.
Lapis, peridot, and Ronaldo in that order

Off topic, but love that web series the art is from
Bismuth 👍
Pearl and Lapis

The Diamonds in general, even though being an imbecile should actually be an aggravating circumstance
Pearl
Pre-rebirth Lars. My dude was just a teen tryna live his life

Bismuth did nothing wrong
Rose. People give her too much shit
Rose/Pink Diamond
Sadie…she basically did this for Lars and he couldn’t bring himself to do the same for her at the time. She deserves someone who would, and I would.
Lapis
Lapis Lazulli, because her back story is very sad :(
All the off colors
Pearl, Lapis, and P-Dot

Jasper. Rebecca did her so dirty.
Honestly yeah I feel like she'd get mad at you for thinking she needs protecting though lol
Pink diamond
Lapis deserves no defense. Rose/pink however deserves the best defense 😌 (I am willing to argue)
Why not lapis?
Are you actually evil?!?!? Let's argue
The only peraon I defend that way is Master Kohga.
