Pretty sure that's Blue Diamond's palanquin, now ruined. Wonder if they're going to revisit that site, and explain what happened to her!
Also, those Crystal Gems really were everywhere, huh. I wonder how much of human history they actually shaped.
A lot!
For example Empire CIty has a small Eiffel Tower instead of the statue of liberty because Giant women are a thing that happens. There was no WW2 and apparently the native people of North America might not exist anymore
uh
that last one is
troubling
A variation on that theory is
that the inhabitants of America would had to stay away from the coasts do to heavy Gem activity.
Honestly Steven Universe would work extremely well as a side-scrolling beat-em-up. You already have enemies that drop items (gems) when defeated, multiple characters with different attacks, and special temporary fusions. I could easily see a boss battle with the monitor and giant hands Peridot used in the Kindergarten way back in one of her earliest appearances.
Not that surasue and the other music artist for Steven universe need help, but bring in anamanaguchi of Scott pilgrim beatemup fame to help with the brawler music and that would be a great game
We are shown the inside of the Upside Down Pyramid again. I'm sure it's to jog watcher's memories in preparation for a reveal about Rose "shattering" Pink Diamond.
I still don't think Rose shattered Pink Diamond, or, if she did, it's more complicated than that. Clearly something is happening in that mural.
Is she holding Pink Diamond hostage to make the other gems leave? Is she returning a captured Pink Diamond? Is she using Pink Diamond to cast some kind of spell?
(theories from least to most likely imo)
I've been guessing some kind of spell ever since the first appearance of the mural. But I like the idea of Rose returning a captured Pink Diamond in the hopes of a ceasefire and then something happens during the negotiations that ends up with Pink Diamond shattered. Maybe even something like the other Diamonds deciding that PD had been "corrupted" by Rose and shattering her. But I would guess it's more something like a breakdown in the negotiations that leads to PD being shattered by Rose.
I saw a tumblr theory that it was Alexanderite that smashed Pink Diamond. But it was based on Garnet and Pearl's uncomfortable looks when it was brought up and on the idea that a Quartz couldn't take down a (much bigger) Diamond. I don't buy the theory though, because it seems to me that even if Homeworld gems don't approve of fusion, they still see a fusion as an individual. Eyeball wouldn't have said that Rose shattered Pink Diamond if Pink Diamond was shattered by Alexanderite.

I think they're going to play it straight, rose quartz cold murdered pink diamond early in the rebellion, but later came to regret it
or, perhaps, she did so without really meaning to and immediately goes oh god what have I done

I don't think
She's going to come regret it. Its makes things to simple. Murder is bad and it just took Rose time to figure that out, kids.
Just because Rose felt that a weapon that could ONLY kill and made killing trivial doesn't mean she wasnt willing to kill someone when the need arose.
I think Steven Universe would work better as a visual novel attached to a combat engine
In spite of all of its trappings it's a series about drama and relationships much more than punching

Buddy's Book
Lady Raven pointed out that the world map was 'off' so I went googlin' for it and the wiki page for Steven Universe Earth has this enormous world map from last season. The dots indicate gem facilities, and I checked, they all match up to the places Pearl told Buddy not to go. That's some nice continuity!

yo but for real rose just had a bunch of regular-ass lions at some point?
Maybe
That's where Steven found Lion though.
Maybe he just never described them as pink?

It pokes holes in my theory about Lion...
figured Lion was gonna turn out to be Pink Diamond. Rose feels real guilty over shattering her, fights with Bismuth over it, decides to never shatter again and maybe she can undo it with her healing powers. Cries on the bits, but oh no, a few shards short or just plain old corruption turned her into Lion.
But figures that would be too simple (and maybe take away from Rose shattering someone) but yeh, very interesting that there were real lions near where Steven eventually meets Lion.

Maybe Rose somehow altered one of the lions?
I also noticed the Ocean Spire had some kind of big cat as a design motif in one of the backgrounds.
The idea that Buddy got the Moon Goddess statue's name "right" makes me wonder if the Crystal Gems have seen the book and if they used his name for it in front of Steven instead of its real name.

I'd be super happy with an old school brawler by The Behemoth. I just want a ton of playable characters and weapons and a variety of levels and I think they could do that right. The Cartoon Network one looks fun, but there's no way they can squeeze in all the SU content I want. I want a level like the Castle Crashers deer ride, but with lion. Imagine the Watermelon Stevens turn on you and you have to fight off a giant horde of them. They could basically replace pets with "sidekicks" and let you summon Onion or Centipeedle or Cookie Cat.
Also, I'd like Telltale to do a Camp Pining Hearts game.
Did Steven kill gems back in Together Breakfast? The evil scroll was written in pigment made from crushed up shards, and then burned into smoke but even after all that the gem, uh, particles still had some level of consciousness, which garnet tried to bubble. But then he shoved them into lava.
I wonder if a gem could actually reform if its shards all found each other and stayed together long enough. Maybe with some spit on it.
Doesnt seem to be the case. Shattering is as final as it gets going by the gems reactions
I could go either way on it!
Spoilers up to Season 4
when Eyeball Ruby was talking about Rose's healing powers being a rumour, made it seem like that's a unique ability that Homeworld wasn't sure existed. Might be that shattering only seems final because no one else is capable of fixing cracked or shattered gems.
But then there would be a question of why so many Crystal Gems didn't survive the war. They would've tried it at least once, right? Unless like has been speculated (confirmed?) the end of the war was a Corruption Bomb that Rose only shielded Garnet and Pearl from. In that scenario, could be that Corruption was developed as a counter to Rose resurrecting shattered gems. Can't reform brain damage! :<
First, I'm really interested in what the connection is between Lion and those seven lions. And why Rose was patrolling that desert. Also, wondering why the Gems never went after the Desert Glass or the pyramid before.
Second, Buddy recognized Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, but not Rose. I'm guessing, then, that Rose was not there when the Gems fought off the sea monster that attacked their ship, and that the fusion who fought off the sea monster was Alexandrite.

Alternately,
Rose was part of the fusion, but never met with the crew outside of that. It's certainly interesting regardless, and makes one wonder what all she was up to to never meet her new neighbors. Maybe we'll find out in Secret Club 2: Secret Pride!
The lions really threw me off. The cat carrier in Greg's storage unit had me believing that Lion was the result of some sort gem/cat experiment or spell or something, likely involving Pink Diamond's remains. I still believe in a Pink Diamond connection, but past that I don't know what to think now.
And I think the Gems only went after the Desert Glass in Steven's Lion because it became unstable, randomly forming and unforming structures. It went from being a random building to a potential danger, I guess.
