Homeworld no longer holds the resources to create more gems

they're running low on resources, that why Peridot is defective, but somehow she has magnetic powers

Wouldn't Rose/PD have to transform genitals and reproductive organs to make that fully work, and if she accidentally untransformed, would she have accidentally aborted Steven as a result of having no source of organs to let the child survive?

>I don't get it. Why don't they just start engineering new gems capable of reproducing with foreign species to make more gems
Because they dont want to be dominated by alien cock, then their entire gem empire would turn into an alien sex slave trade over night.

How the fuck do you run out of resources when you can zip around to other galaxies extremely quickly? Why don't they just use lifeless rocks? How do you fuck up as a civilization this hard when you have had access to paradox free timetravel tech for thousands of years?

Simple answer, war

The gems have been decimated by an as of yet unseen force, crippling their resources and society, and they cant get to more planets probably because theyre occupied and or blockaded by the enemy forces.

I dont' see the problem there. You gotta get the economy moving

that would be way too convinient, even they made gems that were able to breed with organics they would take time to grow and them more time to learn what would be expected of them, with no guarantee they woud be able to

I dont know, how we dont see any other life form in Mars? user, space is large as fuck, and we havent seen that many planets up close

Steven doesn’t age unless he wants to.

They need living planets to reproduce. They suck the life out of a planet to reproduce.

Considering the gem lifespan what's a couple of decades to them?

Who do you think is a bigger cock slut, Bpearl or Ypearl

correct me if Im wrong, but Becky said awhile ago that Steven wouldnt live forever, as for how fast would he age I dont know

a gem popping out of the ground fully prepared to work is way better than hybrid who wold require time to train and has a limited life span

because it'd be easier to just seed other planets?

Though I don't exactly get why they had to be so forward with 'reproduction' anyway, gems are basically immortal and highly durable, so it feels like this large scale creation is just making more problems than anything else.

Even the conflicts their involved with are presumably BECAUSE of their expansion/planet seeding, so they're basically avoidable.

Seems like it'd take probably millions of years for gem erosion/accidental shatterings to warrant making a new generation, yet SU paints Homeworld like they just make more gems for fun or some shit.

Just saying, its not really like they NEED to expand either, and if it WAS out of boredom, you'd figure most gems would be off travelling or something instead.

Though in general I kind of doubt it because of the whole 'gems are born knowing exactly what they need to do forever.

Yeah, but it still very much had a series-finale style ending to it. They even squeezed-in the redesigns for Peridot and Lapis, bringing back Lars, Jasper reforming, and Steven's fusions with Pearl and Garnet at the last minute because they just never got around to doing it sooner. The season 5 finale seemed to try to wrap-up every loose end possible no matter how lazily it was all crammed together, but ignored the actual main conflict of the plot in the progress and just slapped a "they all lived happily ever after" over it and called it a day.

this is why anything SUG belongs in /trash and even in there; It's not even remotely compelling. the world would be a better place if rebecca ended up just moving to japan and disappearing, getting paid by her mother or father to do nothing.

Which one likes anal, BP or YP

The main conflict of the plot is Steven's identity and it resolved that. We can infer that since the Diamonds stopped being dictators they'll actually start listening to their subjects now, and since one Peridot was able to research alternate methods of production imagine what a whole planet-load could do.

So what happens to an entire civilization that's suddenly lost its purpose?

It finds new purpose, or it does whatever it wants. Gems have no need for food or water, or anything we need to survive and thrive. What that purpose is will be the question going forward if they want to examine that angle, but I imagine they'll resolve the resource crisis, create a method of renewable reproduction (Peridot's garden was basically foreshadowing this) and leave it at that.

> still no origin for the artificial lifeforms
you're telling me they just popped out of nowhere one day? hogwash.

my theories being:
something like living piezolectric batteries of some creator species.

or an advanced computational logic system a-la the modrons from planescape with the diamonds being "secundi(or quartians if we are counting)" and their primus/creator equivalent is nowhere to be found

It really wasn't the whole identity crisis started at the beginning of the 4 parter ending, before that it was about Steven trying to convince WD to help them restore the corrupted gems.

Steven's been told he's X or Y his entire life and compared to his mother right from episode 1. The scene in CYM where all the possessed gems try to blast Pink Steven is basically representative of this because even the Crystal Gems wanted him to be something other than himself for a time, even if it wasn't done out of spite.

OK well that didn't link to the time like it should. Go to 3:44

It's possible that the resource shortage was just good old fashioned Diamond Juice, with Pink having an extremely high output despite her small surface area.

They're Von Neumann probes that were either designed with sapience or picked it up somehow

Peridots are actually magnetic IRL. Same with Smokey Quartz having supposed "healing powers" and how the character is one big coping mechanism. Somehow they weren't aware that malachite is toxic in water though which is an amazing coincidence.

You ask too much

The Gem empire is evil as fuck.

Also why do they need all these gems? Their population doesn't decline due to lifespan or disease.
Is there rival space empires they are fighting against and its draining their numbers?

Sugar is a twit, her worldbuilding is fucked. Like how her human societies are basically less intelligent and driven than cows being led to slaughter.

Evil most likely doesn't exist in that world, and if it does it's sure as hell not some autistic AI's doing what they're programmed to do. The actions of the Diamonds were bad, but they themselves are just as part of the system as any Peridot.

Zombie Lars was completely worthless when he came back, that episode was terrible.

Like it tries to build him up by saying he did all this absolutely amazing stuff... offscreen, and is an amazing leader.
But as soon as we see him in action he's just useless selfish whiny piece of shit again needing Steven to set him straight.

Humans have never created anything of value. They go on about "muh renaissance" and "muh Apollo missions" when the first one was just drawing men with tits in single point perspective and the second was the most laughably infantile and inefficient space exploration I've seen in seven millenia

The only humans we see are the ones who live in a small beach town, I don't think that's a remotely adequate sample size.

>Like how her human societies are basically less intelligent and driven than cows being led to slaughter
To be honest, homeworld gems really didn't cause any significant threat after Rose manage to swipe them from the Earth. People seem to forget that Earth was in peace for thousands of years. So there's no reason for humans to see gems as a danger.

Yeah we get it you were born on earth and We Wuz Civilized. Run along now humie

There was a thread about a Steven Universe themed Duke Nukem mod in an alternate universe where Crystal Gems losing the war and Earth being a gem colony. Does anyone know that?

>Everyone I know is a monkey from a backwater planet so you must be too

Corrupted Gem Monsters do literally exist all over the world, and examples of advanced gem technology as well to research.
Its strange its almost like humans and the gem stuff don't exist in the same setting outside of Beach City despite being spread across the whole Earth.

The Crystal Gems LOST the war.

Beach City being built next to the gem temple probably has something to do with it. Pink's palanquin was implied to be a fair ways away from civilization since they had to take a bus to reach it.

Even if humans did see gems as a threat, they can't even unite to save their planet from the side effects of their own primitive combustion-based technology. What hope would they have against superior gem elegance

No but that sounds hilarious

They Lost the War but instead of the Homeworld gems making sure they wiped them out Yellow Diamond just instigated her long term plan to have Earth exploded outwards by the creation of a gigantic crystal superweapon formed out of the millions of shattered shards of gems that existed in eternal agony solely out of spite.

And yet she has never had to answer for this horrific crime against gemkind, ignoring any care about the planet Earth or its inhabitants entire.
What do the Gems even need with a deranged planet-sized superweapon when they have no stellar rivals?

>Also why do they need all these gems?

Why do you think they need a reason to make more gems?

>What hope would they have against superior gem elegance
They have a fair chance when knowing every known gem we've seen yet (except for aquamarine) are complete goofballs and can be easily persuaded.

>had to take a bus to reach it
>far away
We can travel great distances in the modern age, longer than it takes a bus journey to get to. And Gem ruins with functioning tech are spread across the planet all over the place
Also didn't the Palanquin specifically have a chainlink fence infront of it?

the aim of the war was to get the Homeworld Gems off the planet, since that happened the CG "won" in the loosest terms possible

After the gem invasion the whole human race was reduced to slavery and many of them were sent back to gem's homeworld to serve under the tyrannical regime of diamonds, hovewer humanity had one last chance. Duke, as champion of humankind and the last president of United States of America after defeating the Alien Queen, has foreseen this possible outcome in his propethic dreams and ordered to put himself to cyrogenical sleep in order to resurge after 10.000 years. After awakening in his secret chamber still untouched by crystal gems, Duke went outside, long gazed the pink/purple sky of Earth and sneered:

"Damn, those gem bastards will pay for destorying my earth!"

Now it's time for Duke to save the earth and get rid of crystal gems once and for all in Duke Nukem 4:Gem Apocalypse! These 3 episodes include:

Chapter 1: Saving Colony Earth
Chapter 2: Shattered in Space
Chapter 3: Operation: Homeworld

It was a pyrrhic victory. There's still no answer as to why the gems were corrupted btw, Blue and Yellow had no idea why it happened and apparently White didn't either.

It did and it was clearly out in the countryside somewhere. It was near a range of mountains IIRC.

>There's still no answer as to why the gems were corrupted btw, Blue and Yellow had no idea why it happened and apparently White didn't either.
The answer is shitty writing.

Rebecca wasn't even in charge of the show after a certain point, writers like Zuke were openly inserting their own fanfiction into the show and took ages to get fired for it.

>her human societies are basically less intelligent and driven than cows being led to slaughter.

Too realistic for you?

user, don't spout crap drama as facts. Rebecca has always been in charge of the show and Zuke did fuck all since Peridot and Lapis were always meant to be in the barn and eventually fall out.

If there was a chainlink fence infront of it... then it wasn't outside of the reach of the local government.

Nah you're just a fanboy trying too hard to put the show on a pedestal.

I never implied it was? We were talking about proximity to humans. The temple is literally on the end of the boardwalk so it's more natural for Beach City people to be like "Oh it's just them again". I'm pretty sure an early S1 episode (the one with the beach party) covered this.

>There's still no answer as to why the gems were corrupted btw
That light was high radiation and it had permanently altered the molecular properites of gems. That should be obvious.

In real life we have these things called scientists, or even archaeologists, whos job it would be to research such phenomena instead of just living them sitting around.

Pearl built the fence. It even has her writing on it.

And maybe they have and decided to leave it alone. I'm not seeing the issue is here.

Only gems can use gem tech anyway, it's not like gathering the pieces or attempting to retrofit stuff would do them any good. I'm sure they have a lot of Pearl crying about Rose over the last twenty years though so that's a funny image.

>Only gems can use gem tech anyway, it's not like gathering the pieces or attempting to retrofit stuff would do them any good.

Do we know that? And in any case, would this stop the various secret agencies from trying?

I feel like there was an example of Connie trying to activate something at one point, but I may be confusing it with Steven activating something made for a Diamond. Things like the Hand Ships definitely are made for gems only though since they have AI interfaces.

As a headcanon, I believe humans ironically have a lot better qualified technology than gems have in the show.

No deep space travel stuff though.

Who knows. Greg seemed to be pretty chill in space.

The idea that any species would run out of resources in fucking SPACE is ridiculous. Especially when they don't need biological resources of any kind, and only energy and rocks.

The idea that the gems are in decline because they've run out of resources to assemble new units to gather more resources to make more units is laughable.

>Smash cut to him screaming all the way to the zoo

What all did Zuke do anyway

Unless that resource was Pink Diamond's used bath water.

>Diamonds make gems
>Lose one Diamond
>It is now much harder to make gems
The Diamonds themselves are a resource and who fucking knows what the conditions are to make gems that powerful. They're quite literally gods.

Have a mental breakdown, leave and shit talk Rebecca on a secret blog. That's about it. Even the secret blog is iffy but I've seen more evidence for it being real than I have it being fake.

I think it's the production problems than having resources like not having enough ingredients for kindergarten juice.

To be fair that was a facade. He's still anxious as fuck underneath, he's just doing that shit to A) Piss Emerald off and B) Keep himself calm. In Letters to Lars he'd gotten better with keeping his sperging intact and was happy about Sadie having fun without him which is MAJOR progress for the guy, so having to mentor these gems actually did do some good in the end. As an aside, the comics fleshed out Lars of the Stars so I recommend checking those out sometime. Each of the Off Colors gets some attention. Not much, but more than the show had time for.
