Wasn't she mocking how puny and pathetic the watermelons were being in that scene?

[Maryring]

She was. Taking delight in how ignorable their attempt at stopping her were.

Incidentally, I'm gonna take a new stab on Centipeetle's actual gem. Rose Quartz (kind of), Smokey Quartz, Jasper (a type of quartz), Amethyst (also a type of quartz) and the corrupted Quartz gems all have long, free-flowing hair. Centipeetle has the same free-flowing hair that seems typical for Quartz gems. I'm taking a stab now that Centipeetle was Vermarine before she was corrupted by the diamonds.

Looks more like this to me; Trapiche Emerald.

In addition, it's a green quartz.

Peridot with future vision might be fun to watch.

It would take a fusion, though.

Wasn't the implication of that episode that Centipeetle was from Homeworld, having arrived on a ship later in the rebellion? All quartz are from Earth I believe unless I misinterpreted what's been said in the show, so they couldn't be a quartz.

What makes you think Bismuth is willing to kill her friends for any resistance?

The only person she tries to kill is Steven, and she tries to kill Steven because she decides that he really is Rose Quartz, and she's mocking Bismuth by pretending to be this kid, after having betrayed her, beaten her up, locked her in a box and then lied to everyone about what happened.

All of the evidence is that Rose hit first, the first time around. Bismuth was very confused and disoriented when she de-bubbled.

What makes you think Rose hit first? All evidence points to Bismuth as the aggressor as I see it, and as I'm fairly sure was concluded by others when the episode came out.

And even if that wasn't true she still did nothing "good" at any point. Still at best neutral either way.

Could be. Could be. We haven't seen any emeralds in the show yet though, so hard to say if there's an archetype for them or not.

In addition, it's a green quartz.

That's basically my argument. :p Centipeetle was a green quartz AKA Vermarine soldier.

Yes. Centipeetle came from Homeworld, but I've no idea where you got that all quartz must come from earth. I've never seen it implied anywhere that a specific type of gem must come from a specific planet.

[Flickerdart]

Actually, hm.

The only gems we've seen born on Earth are Quartz. Jasper - check. Amethyst - check. Rose? Probably check. Steven sort of counts too. What other gems were grown on Earth? What other Quartzes weren't?

[Maryring]

Yeah. All the gems who we currently know where they were born were all Quartzes and they were all born on earth. But that's hardly proper indication of anything. It also makes sense for there to be lots of Quartzes born on earth. It's our second most common mineral after all.

[Tutorix]

Also all the Quartzes we have seen have been Pink Diamond's, so the hairstyle might just be part of her glam rock aesthetic and not a Quartz-specific thing.

I guess the most common theory would be that Centipeetle is a Nephrite, based on the cut of the gem and Bismuth's phrase about a Nephrite and a cockpit.

[Ravian]

Incidentally, I'm gonna take a new stab on Centipeetle's actual gem. Rose Quartz (kind of), Smokey Quartz, Jasper (a type of quartz), Amethyst (also a type of quartz) and the corrupted Quartz gems all have long, free-flowing hair. Centipeetle has the same free-flowing hair that seems typical for Quartz gems. I'm taking a stab now that Centipeetle was Vermarine before she was corrupted by the diamonds.

I thought the implication was that Centipeetle and her crew were sent to build things, similarly to Bismuth but presumably in a more architectural sense. (Given what she drawing for Steven.)

[Lord Raziere]

Yeah. All the gems who we currently know where they were born were all Quartzes and they were all born on earth. But that's hardly proper indication of anything. It also makes sense for there to be lots of Quartzes born on earth. It's our second most common mineral after all.

That there was a war going on, of course they'd make a lot of soldiers to fight in it on the planet that was being fought over. And since Quartzes are high on the hierarchy, why not? Might as well make them over something low on it from their perspective.

Though I wonder by this logic, if the Diamonds are causing the resource shortage to try and make a second Pink Diamond? Diamonds seem to be the only people they don't consider expendable. What if they don't know how to make one and are diverting a lot of resources to figure out how to make another Pink Diamond, based on the logic that they'd rather have higher-caste Gems over lower caste ones? And a fourth Diamond is something they'd rather have over a lot of Gems, we haven't seen White Diamond yet after all, she could have a different perspective from both Blue and Yellow, especially since the Diamonds seem to be an odd mirror to the Crystal Gems, Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet having to deal with the loss of Rose, their leader for Steven's existence. While the Diamonds have to deal with the loss of their probably youngest least inexperienced member in comparison, and Yellow Diamond clearly isn't dealing with her loss in any healthy manner by taking it out on Earth, so White Diamond might not be dealing with it in any healthy way by trying to make Pink Diamond 2.0.

[Snowbluff]

It's probably a trapiche emerald, judging from the black stripe.

And maybe the high quartz production was another important quality of Earth as a Colony?

She was having fun battle. Simple math.

Lapis loves fun.
Jasper loves battle.
Malachite loves fun and battle.
Ergo, she love having fun during battle. She was loving fighting Alexandrite. She probably would have let the Watermelon Stevens mess around more if they didn't try to tie her down (which is a big no no, Malakitty hates that).

[Aquillion]

Malachite might also have inherited Lapis' affection for Steven.

[Draconium]

Malachite might also have inherited Lapis' affection for Steven.

She also tried to eat (and kill) Watermelon Steven at the beginning of Season 3. Totally seems like an affectionate thing to do.

[MorgromTheOrc]

Well I don't know of any word of god on it so I guess I'll have to leave it as a possibility for now. The main reason I and many others believe this is a combination of all known quartz being made on Earth, all Earth Kindergartens producing quartz, quartz being very resource intensive, and Peridot assuming Steven was made in Earth's primary Kindergarten when they went there, stating that because he was a quartz he must've been made there.

Also I think the hair thing is a stretch anyways, we've seen non-quartz gems with hair like that, and Amethyst was "born" with short hair, only changing it because she liked Greg's. Overall I'm going to somewhat agree with Trapiche Emerald because of the appearance, but because all corrupted gems look strange in some way it might not actually look like that so I'll bet on Nephrite as her gem, because we know they are pilots and she was a pilot. And Nephrite doesn't look too far off, having the same color and usually having dark irregularities on the surface, though not to that extent. Nephrite is also known for protecting against failure, overcoming evil, and changing for the best, which would explain how Centipeetle was able to be tamed by Steven and saw the most success in overcoming corruption.

[Devonix]

I also think that Rose was the one to attack Bismuth. She seemed to not quite know what was going on, similar to other gems who get poofed without expecting it.

[Flickerdart]

Lapis loves fun.

I don't remember Lapis ever enjoying anything fun.

[Chromascope3D]

Trapiche Emeralds always have 6 prongs radiating from the center, though, whereas Centi's just has 2. Otherwise, yeah, it does look similar enough to still be a compelling theory (especially if the show runners just didn't know that piece of gemology when designing her character)

I am 100% certain that we should never discount their knowledge of geology in this series. If there's something about a gem, they know about it.

[Draconi Redfir]

To be fair, that is only fan speculation. If you take the painting of cival-war-era Gems with Garnet punching a shark as canon, then Amythist already had long hair, and the three gems we know today just made themselves appear younger later on for some reason. Not sure exactly how canon that painting is though.

[Zhentarim]

What personality/alignment would all of the characters on the characters on the show be? Human and Gem? What powers would it have? What would its name be?

I mean she hates human garbage, but she otherwise seems to enjoy her time with Steven and Peri.

Yeah, I'm guess the stripes are fixed like that due to the carbon bonding.

Of course, if the trapiches are all parts of the same gem, with 3 per full trapiche, then each would have one stripe. Hence, 3 trapiche emeralds make a whole crew. IIRC, there are 3 of them on the homeworld ship now, and she drew 3 crew. Nah, there's more little crew. However, if they're "familiars," fragmenting themselves might be how trapiche make their crew.

There, I blew the whole thing wide open. You're welcome, and yes I'm so easily distracted.

I agree, though I'm unsure of how I feel at the prospect of Pearl quasi trying to date/get with someone who sort of looks like Rose. It's got that bit of awkwardness that is sort of not okay.

That said this was really cute and I love Pearl's attempts to be badass.

not really that big a deal. People date people who remind them of close freinds/family members all the time because they're attracted to those traits. Pearl isn't comparing this new girl to Rose, she just has a thing for big girls with pink hair.

Steven has Connie. Garnet has Jamie. Amethyst has Greg. Now Pearl has Mystery Pink Hair Girl, and all the gems have a designated Human Buddy^TM.

Except Peridot and Lapis are now Crystal Gems too. Who will their Human Buddies^TM be?
