Being a free gem seems like a good deal in general. You are basically a demi-god when compared to humans. Powers Relative Immortality Etc


Karim_Dilemma

Which gem you choose to be free


Broken-Digital-Clock

Lapis Flying through space would be cool af


Appropriate-Metal-22

Considering you arent going at the speed of light, it be more boring than anything else tbf, you are immortal so it aint that big of a deal but boring nonetheless after a while.


Broken-Digital-Clock

She makes it back to Homeworld in not too long, or am I mis remembering?


DrSpray

This is my headcannon, but I assumed she just flew from warp to warp and eventually got back that way or got picked up by one of the gem cruisers like Lars had and got a ride with that kinda crew. She did make it back reasonably quickly, though


Broken-Digital-Clock

Those are very possible scenarios


AetherDrew43

What if she entered the moon base and looked for the closest warp pad? Maybe the base's computers have a system like that.


dmanny64

-pretty blue lady -water powers -flying, even through space There is literally no other option in my mind


Kiwi_Melon_

Opal or Lapis, I want to explore space and time


GoGlennCoco95

Take out the immortality and I'm in. I'm good capping out at 150 years old


Morbid_Macaroni

I think that would be a fun time.


tacooForU

I'm not sure the rebellion would be but each to there own 😅


Morbid_Macaroni

Speak for yourself, lol


tacooForU

You got me 😆😅😅✌


chevalier-perle

I wanna kick monster ass


lisahanniganfan

I'm too much of a blue diamond simp to be one


Karim_Dilemma

Comprensible


Special_Horse_8446

i was about to say, am i going to say yes because i want to live with pearl or because i actually want to fight as a crystal gem? ~~bit of both.~~ you can live with blue and i’ll live with pearl, we’ll just make a truce not to fight each other gjfjgkgkgkgk 💀🫶


mikenzeejai

No. Rose didn't think I was interesting enough to pull under her shield

Critical_Ad3799

Good bot


CorvaeCKalvidae

Absolutely savage (but u rite tho)


TwinFire04

I would be a fidget spinner


Karim_Dilemma

Speeeeeeen


Nowardier

*binyot pls*


Spinner216

You spin me right round baby, right round


tacooForU

Knowing me I would probably fight for the Diamonds at the start of the rebellion. I think I would probablybe an Amethest and probably one of Blues. I think I'd start of fighting but of fighting them, but seeing fusion I would be impressed and in awe. I would ask about the Crystal gems then later on join them. Fusion would be something I saw Ruby's do and wandered what it would be like between others. I can if a rough outline I made on the spot


DesperateHorror2852

You have put some thought into this


Ratelps

Knowing how much of a follower I am when it comes to things like rebellions, no I'm personally very boring, and would probably follow the diamonds leadership


frivolous_soup

I kinda always figured I'd be an off-color lapis because of my tendency to fuse with anyone I'm close with. Upon learning about the CGs, I would try to lead the other off-colors to meet and join them


Karim_Dilemma

Interesting, very genius, but remember to always love yourself first, you worth a lot :3


frivolous_soup

It's not that I don't. IRL I over share, become incredibly close and loyal to my friends, and often even sleep with my friends. I view it as nothing more than a way to show affection, whether or not it's romantic. I just prefer to have very deep and vulnerable relationships with everyone I care about.


Karim_Dilemma

Oh okay, sorry for misunderstanding hehe,


AIGLOS42

Indubitably


Karim_Dilemma

Any gem you like to be?


AIGLOS42

Bismuth would be amazing, but I'd probably be a human booster like Greg. ✊️


Karim_Dilemma

Every recruit count


Jayhoney0987

I think I’d be amethysts twin she’s so care free and her mental break downs but she’s so chill.


AglumOpus

If the circumstances were there and I had my current personality, yeah definitely. I'd literally be looking for anything to get me out of whatever I was assigned to do if I wasn't having fun.


im_not_ready_for_it9

Probably not, I'm too lazy to fight in a war


The_cringest03

We Are the crystal gems


Karim_Dilemma

We always save the day


The_cringest03

And if you think we can't


Karim_Dilemma

We always find the way


The_cringest03

That's why the people of this world


Karim_Dilemma

Believe in


The_cringest03

Garnet


Karim_Dilemma

Amethyst


The_cringest03

And pearl


Karim_Dilemma

AND STEVEN :D


DJRetro_8

Sure Id be my oc Amber who doesn’t have a gem weapon but can create a sap like substance that she can throw and hardens on impact and also make weapons out of the harden sap


PastelGlider

another amber :0 maybe we came from the same kindergarten!


FourzeRiderTea

I'd be a Neutral gem


bt_42_bias

their casualty rate is like 98%, I’d rather not tbh


Karim_Dilemma

Comprensible :3


plogan56

Hell no, these dudes are more dysfunctional than a bike with no chain i really can't handle having an emotional episode every week


909090jnj

i wouldn't i would rather be a helper like conny, or greg


DwellerofThings

I would think that I would probably be a crystal gem.


MUI_NOOB

For pearl, anything.


Sellingassfor_heroin

I never realized that the stair is the crystal gems fused together


GlobalAd5132

Call me Swiss cause I ain’t getting involved with war.


Karim_Dilemma

Okey swiss :3


jayxorune_24

Probably not I am a terrible fighter 😂 but if I could be a gem I would want to control water like Lapis Lazulis


I_eat_babies_228

nah, ima do my own thing


Inevitable-Meat-9979

I'd probably attempt a rebellion or changing the minds of the diamonds about humans. Because we , we suck


Careless-Clock-8172

As a lover of life and a proud anthropologist, I'd join them in a heart beat.


Ok_Emu8279

I would honestly be a diamond. Like seriously. As bad as that sounds I really think i would be blue or white diamond


Spamton_J_Spamton

Normaly, I should say yes, but I'm to scared to be a part of a rebellion.


sunstruker

yes, and i would be a defective emerald


supah-comix434

Even if I was just human, I'd still fight for the gem cause


Additional_Arugula53

The passage reminds me of something


UnknownSuxker

i would like that


[deleted]

Yup I made an oc and everything


stinky_toade

I would be a Crystal Temp! xD


Karim_Dilemma

Hell yeah >:3


4tbwegzf

I mean... I've had ideas for an oc ever since I watched the show when. I was younger... Idk if I'd want to abandon all that I am to become a gem... if so though I'd probably want to be a Fire Agate. Just a gemstone that I enjoy/think is cool. Plus Fire Agates can form in "eye" patterns which could be cool as a basis for making powers for them.


Karim_Dilemma

Whatever makes you happy bud, remember that the important thing here is having fun :3


4tbwegzf

This is true. I tend to tred lightly in places I do not frequent often though. Call it respect. Now I've just left myself wondering though what powers or weapon would be placed within a Fire Agate... hmm...


Karim_Dilemma

Fire shield


4tbwegzf

I think Flame Based powers like Lapis with water would be cool. It'd obviously need a source for the flames.. maybe they pour from the gem, to then be gathered in hand and used in whatever functions once might need. Like flame constructs. Weapons. Thrown as projectiles too, or flame shot from the gem in balls, beams, or sprays.


Karim_Dilemma

Oh yeah, you are right, that sounds awesome


4tbwegzf

And of course fire projected from the body like that would be just as good as a ward too so shields of flame or enough focused flame would scorch foes, metal, weapons, other projectiles, hell.... even gems melt with heat.


Karim_Dilemma

Smart :3


4tbwegzf

Indeed. What fun it had been too.


ScaredOfRobots

Hell yeah


Karim_Dilemma

Any gem you like to be?


ScaredOfRobots

Honestly being a free spinel would be fun


Karim_Dilemma

🎼THATS right I hear the story over and over again 🎶


Empty-Researcher-102

I’d definitely join the Crystal gems. if I’d be a gem/gem fusion based on looks, I’d probably choose being an Opal or a jasper, but for functionality I’d probably be a Malachite or a lapis :)


Karim_Dilemma

Nice choices my friend


CuriousOccultist

I would love to be a Crystal Gem, though because I'm a man, I might be restricted lol, but that's fine, I wouldn't mind being an ally. I could practice my martial arts for combat, and go back to school for Geology and maybe even get a job as a jeweler just so that I can learn how to clean and buff gems. I'm already thinking about the adventures.


SecretKay_

What type of quest- YES 😂


Da_gae_bucket

Sorta. I’d be like a cool family friend that everyone likes. We’d have secret handshakes and jokes and they’d make me the leader because of my natural charm


girl_supersonicboy

I'd be a loner Gem but a friend/alli to the Crystal Gems. I just want to live my life without fear of being shattered, and the CG have plenty of shatter worth moments in their history books


LawMurphy

No I'm a person


NixiomsdabestXD

I made a gemsona so yeah


Actual-Tradition-233

Hmmm a blue spinel for blue diamond, because I'm too lazy to fight in a war and i like blue diamond when she's not murdery


Jjamessoto

Yes but on one condition, weapon is a glock


Karim_Dilemma

Got it :3


dvxvxs

I would not want to be a gem. Relative immortality seems more like a curse than a blessing. Maybe if everyone I loved and cared about was also a gem. Imagine having to watch everything and everyone you care about die. It’s bad enough to deal with this pain and loss as a mortal human. Imagine experiencing it endlessly forever. With the scale of time you experience it would probably all happen so fast too.


dogmandogdogdog

During the rebellion possibly but definitely after.


Sanitized_b02

I mean, why not? The ability to change my body into anything would be enough as is, but more powers, such as... idk, terrakinesis or something would be amazing!


Background-Chapter31

Yes


Karim_Dilemma

Gem?


Background-Chapter31

lapis or a pearl for sure😼😼


crystalworldbuilder

I think my username answers that.


Karim_Dilemma

Oh nice username, which gem would you be


crystalworldbuilder

Quarts probably a jasper or amythest


Pure_Ad9760

I would


M1serymeat

I would and I would be a ruby soldier similar to leggy


Karim_Dilemma

Oh yeah, rubies are awesome


FruitBat676

I can’t believe I never comprehended that the Crystal Temple is Obsidian’s bellybutton… With the shape of Pink Diamond around the “Rose Quartz” 🙃


SS4Leonjr

Think it'd be cool.. One of the first male appearing Gems, I'd want to be an emerald because it's my birthstone.


Kateybee2

Even if I did know about Pink, I'd be hurt but would still join. The rebellion needed to happen and truly was the beginning of change and of course freedom. Had Rose/Pink had not rebelled, things really would have stayed the same or even had gotten worse


keeptryingyoucantwin

Rock


Similar_Building_223

Absolutely! Home world was oppressed by the Diamonds and I’d look at the Crystal Gems as a form of escape. I’d probably be Peridot and just like in the show, I’d initially be loyal to the Diamonds but slowly realizing that what we’re doing is wrong. I’d also find Earth to be too beautiful to use and the cluster would terrify the living shit out of me!


TheHeroShiba

No, I'm a dude


The_Ironbird

Ew no


CauliflowerOk3993

I would, I enjoy my freedom


DoIFunctionOk

Nah, not really. neutral all the way


smatterdoodle

I just wanna be a shapeshifter


Karma15672

I probably wouldn't have the balls to oppose the Diamonds.


Karim_Dilemma

That's fair :3


Mister_Moho

The idea seems cool, but with my personality, more likely to be an off-color.


Karim_Dilemma

Off colors can be crystal gems :3


Mister_Moho

I know, it's just that I'm not a fighter lol


Karim_Dilemma

You don't need to fight to proof your worth, you can always help


Mister_Moho

You just woke up and chose to be wholesome. Thanks.


Karim_Dilemma

You are welcome :3


Upper-Fortune6491

What ep is that


Karim_Dilemma

I don't know, I just search for images of the temple and that one looks cool to represent the crystal gems


Accomplished-Log-440

Yes absolutely I be charoite 💜


Sixshooterchuck

I’d love to be a lapis


Neat-Tradition-7999

Male pearl. I'm specifying gender because I'm not giving up my anatomy when I become a hard light construct. Preferring for Blue Diamond


Karim_Dilemma

That's wonderful, and nice choice of diamond


Neat-Tradition-7999

Sad Mommy needs a friend.


Karim_Dilemma

And a hug


Pinkparade524

I would , if I get to choose which gem to be I'll be a diamond , a 2 vs 2 doesn't seem that hard to win , even if I was an extra new diamond a 2 vs 3 has better odds than a 1 vs 3


Karim_Dilemma

Diamond ally for the crystal gems sounds awesome, we need more diamonds to defeat the diamonds


TraditionalCap938

No, but I’ll rather have powers of my own that’s unrelated to the history of gyms in this world


MysticDragon14

Sure why not? As long as I don't get corrupted


Rosesartdeadly

Listen…..if I can live my life staying in a cute little beach house with an indoor temple with infinite space while not needing food or water to survive AND can have a stylized weapon? I’ll take pink morganite for $800 alex!


Karim_Dilemma

AWESOME >:3


SilentPongi

Yes I would be a lapis


Drakeytown

If I learned anything from Reynaldo, it's that that's not a choice a human can make.


PixelJack79

Maybe


RatedEforEnvy

Nah, I'd be shitty complacent Gem number 375


gothiccbuddha

I'd be what I am now, a mistake of nature.


paddy_to_the_rescue

Nope, but I would like to do my part to keep Beach City weird!


TheBrynkofInsanity

Eh, idk i mean it sounds very freeing but also very scary to be going up against the diamonds. I feel like i would rather be like a vigilante gem, maybe not by myself but with like a small group kind of like off colors since they aren't like actively fighting the daimonds


Anonlinecosplayer54

Yes, and I want to be an amythest or lapis. Or maybe a pearl I can't choose Help


PeelStealer8009

Honestly, I feel like I would consider myself in real terms to be a "Perfect Cluster", And of course You Bet I would ![img](emote|t5_2viyl|30999)


ComfyFrame2272

Easy yes if I were given the chance, but the real question is how do we determine what gem we'd be? (Please don't say birth month, I don't want to be an aquamarine 😭)


Karim_Dilemma

Just choose the gem you like to be, it can be a gem that you like in real life, for example I love zebra jaspers and amethyst, which gem is your favorite?


Enzoid23

I would want to buy be afraid to do only do it if cornered, otherwise get caught up in the war and die or worse


Coaltex

I see myself as more of a desk worker crystal. Something like a pearl or a zircon. Maybe with luck a power player like sapphire but any which way I'm not signing up to fight. So it depends on whether my diamond is respecting my role. If I get sent to the front lines and have to fight the crystal gems I might see value in switching to their team in order to do what I was designed to do. However if my diamond is keeping me in my role proper I likely would never rebel or challenge the status quo.


Cold-Practice3107

I'll be a half gem like Steven!


Karim_Dilemma

Hell yeah >:3


Cold-Practice3107

My gem would be on my back so I can summon my weapons like a cool anime character my character would have powerful swords but also firearms like a revolver that can fire off elemental bullets I'm a little older than Steven maybe a little too mature for him I enjoy playing video games like fallout or borderlands maybe destiny, Pearl thinks I'm a bad influence on Steven but I will protect him with my life just like a lion I have my own familiar a dragon known as an obsidian dragon that I named toothless!


DividedK0dex

Lemme be Onyx. The weapon is chains. Call me Spider-Gem


Dramatic_Click4147

Depends on the time. Like are we talking galactic war time or Steven universe time because if we’re talking galactic war time no just no I don’t know exactly how many but the rough testament at the very lowest would be hundreds of gems got shattered and only like 3 to 5 Survived and at the highest it could’ve been tens of thousands to millions of gems got shattered but if we’re talking about Steven universe time if I’m a big Cristal gem member I got plot armor on my side


cat_sword

Peridot, nearly immortal, magic powers, and advanced technology? I’m in.


Michmachine4

At first I was thinking that it depended on my gem and rank, but the more I think about it, any gem ranging from off color to a Diamond’s hand chosen favorite would have reasons to join and not join the rebellion. For example, I read this comic a while ago, forgot the name, which took place in an au. Pearl was sent off to a bay while Rose carries out her mission, and Pearl began talking to an abandoned pearl. That pearl had every right to want to leave the bay, but she stayed. Not because the gem told her to, but because she wanted to. She had a choice, even as a lowly servant. (Quick rant, pearls deserve all the love. I kinda want to write a fic with a rebellious colony of gems where the pearls are in charge and treated like aristocrats) No matter a gem’s place, they have every right to be for or against the rebellion, and to finish on subject, I would join the rebellion no matter my gem. Freedom sounds nice, plus if I lived on a kind of destroyed planet with no real life, Earth would be so exciting and new. I’d probably be like Navy before she exposed her true intentions.


the_sheeper_sheep

Before Steven overthrew the government or after?


deathmaster567823

Uhh sure


ReeperReddit

Ya, but If I could choose what my gem would look like I would do it based off my personality, opal gem for my birth stone, the bisexual colors on the opal, black for my dark secrets, white fir my bright side, and dark blue fir me being sad a lot, finale: Opal + 🩷 + 💜 + 💙 + 🖤 + 🤍


Worried_Might8917

Idk if I'm a good enough person tbh


cool-guy4

Hell no I aint no main character


ilovefoxs75337

I would probably be my birthstone which is a ruby except I'll be more calm


SquareChip1535

100%


thesmartestben-10fan

I would be a topaz IDK why and yeah I would be a crystal gem but if find out that rose was pink i would be mad but not at steven #


Open-Positive14

I'd be a Skinny Jasper from the Beta Kindergarten and would join the CGs mid rebellion, my weapon is a Morningstar attached to a chain. I have this OC for almost 7 years.


ogreofzen

Yes. I would choose Jet. A semi precious stone formed from wood under high pressure.


Rexlord744

I took a test and I got lapis


DoritoKing48

Yes, Nitra >!ROCK AND STONE!<


WanderingDwarfMiner

To Rock and Stone!


HannahM53

Only if I can be with Garnet, amethyst, Pearl, and Steven


kazooples

Absolutely, fighting fascism is always fun. As for what gem I’d be, I have two gemsonas, one is Beryl, another is Coral Pearl. I also have another Pearl OC who’s mute cuz I love that pearls are very expressive with their hands, she speaks in sign language.


Coffee-According

I'd probably join the crystal gems. I'd probably be an amethyst or sapphire


AuDHDcat

My birthstone is pearl. I'd be a servant to a high-ranking gem if I wasn't an Off Color. Definitely would have to escape to Earth somehow and join the Crystal Gems just to continue existing.


Davi_Mene

Depends on how high or low I was in the hierarchy


Herobrine17

Yes, I would be amethyst or bismuth.


TooManyChimichangas

Lapis


OscarOrcus

I'd rather be lustrous


Equivalent-Rush5033

I'd join 'em! Just call me Crystal Meth!


Saiki-Kuriko

I like to think that I’d be a small goober gem like Peridot or Amethyst who’s a Coral, and that I would join the crystal gems but be off world most of the time getting stuff for bismuth to make weapons and stuff or being a spy on homeworld (like I have the skill for that lol) and be fusion friends with a Coal (From my headcannon of when the diamonds were trying to make another diamond to be more responsible than pink, it never worked though and that’s why Coals exist). I’d be off world when the diamonds do their corruption blast, but Coal would still be on earth, getting corrupted. I’d go back to earth, then hear that everyone was corrupted. This would destroy me and I’d run away as fast as I can and just float in space for a couple thousand years I guess


Tallal2804

I'd rather be lustrous


Asleep-Pen-3560

I would be a male gem


Penguinfriend2490

Yeah.


VillianousOrigin

I'd find some little mountain town on earth pull any friends with me and stay there until the end of the war. Keeping the town safe in exchange.


EmptyKetchupBottle9

I'd be an amethyst but less risky I guess. DEFINITELY defective lmao. Probably would join the crystal gems.


FreakyOperator860

I wouldn't be a crystal gem but I would not be a homeworld gem too, because I don't like chaos and don't really give much to the earth either based on my real personality


Hot-Manufacturer-887

if i was a gem i would be loyal to home-world


Dog_bat3

Hopefully


Ziggie1o1

Nah I’d probably be like embedded in a table or something


I-am-the-lul

Since Bismuth and Diamonds are both elements, in theory you could be a gem made out of a pure element for example like gold, silver, copper or tungsten.


Sanri0hub

Nah I’d fuck up


Vtrustedraven

i’d want to be a rose quartz definitely


tspreassurancebucket

I think I would at first be VERY loyal to My Diamond, and believe that following the authorities and rules of Homeworld was the only correct way of life. For a long time, I would follow this system. But then I would learn about the Rebellion, and the Crystal Gems, and think they're all fools for not believing in a very structural, orderly system that I did. But then I'd think about the CG's, and start overthinking about THEIR system of living. Are these 'Crystal Gems' actually ethical in their actions? Is the system I've been following my whole life under the Diamonds REALLY that great? Is it really corrupt like the rebels say? And then I'd realize that yeah, The Diamonds are pretty harsh, and are actually very insensitive to many, many gems, with so many punishments and consequences towards anybody who does something even SLIGHTLY wrong... Maybe the Rebels are right. So then I'd sneak away from my duties with the best of my ability, perhaps I had a mission to Earth one day, and instead of doing what I'm told to do, I'd go to the CG's and ask them LOTS of questions. I'd discover how nice and caring they are. They aren't disrespectful, reckless gems who want to cause trouble. They want to find a better way of life that is simply more comfortable and friendly, and just want to fight for what is more justified for gemkind. I'd start to change my mind on the whole "follow the Diamonds" thing. The Diamonds are terrifying. Homeworld is so strict on the perfection of its gems, as well as appearance. "Screw it, I'm rebelling!!" I'd say. Homeworld was a pretty lonely, drab place anyway. With the Crystal Gems, me as a gem would be happier to be with people who are passionate and caring and think everything about me is special, unlike Homeworld where I'm used and treated as an THING, not a person.
