Okay so I know everyone’s all like “Pink Diamond is a small defective!”
but there’s a problem with that
All her stuff from when she was actually colonizing planets was huge.
You see this? Here it is again from a less flattering angle plus two diamonds:
That doesn’t look like it was made for someone roughly the same height as Stevonnie.
But why? Well, here’s what I’ve been thinking: Look how Pink acted in the weird dream flashback, mashing buttons, throwing tantrums, etc…
And Yellow didn’t say if pink ever has a colony of her own–she said when.
So, here’s my alternate proposal:
Pink Diamond, and likely Diamond-kind as a whole, is the exception to the rule that Gems always start as adults.
