Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

gems shapeshift, though

could she have regenerated into a smaller form at some point? it'd be a smart disguise

none of the gems have ever changed sized though when regenerating.

except for amethyst and her form was not stable

But Diamonds wouldn't be able to fit inside most of the Gem Structures we've, including the Sea Spire. So either they can consciously size shift as they please or they never intended to ever show up at most of the structures we have seen.

Well we do have a size thing, to sorta figure out how big she is.

And it's only a head taller then Jasper.

I... What? This makes no sense compared to what I said?

amethyst's form wasn't stable because a big, bulky gem wasn't really who she wanted to be

if rose really wanted to match the stature of "lesser" gems, it stands to reason that she could do that much more easily

especially if she's a diamond, because the diamonds must be much more powerful and adept with gem magic than anyone else

Also not that SU follow tons of scientific logic, but becoming smaller and more dense being easier then getting bigger makes sense.

According to Peridot, Amethyst's small form is not just about being who she wants to be; she was also much later to emerge and lower down than most of the gems that came out of the kindergarten. Even the hole that she emerged from was smaller. Jasper could tell at a glance that she was 'overbaked'.

She's not a good comparison for Rose possibly taking a smaller form. I think if we're looking for clues about Rose possibly being a diamond and not a quartz, we should turn to her demonstrated behaviours, rather than necessarily the gems around her. Rose had an intense interest in the world around her, specifically in life. Many of the things we see with her interest in life tended to take over, for example the flowery moss and her garden of tears. The way that she interacted with Greg was more of a hobby, until she got serious about understanding what being in a relationship meant. At that point she flipped gears and went so far as to do what no other gem has tried to do: procreate with an alien in order to completely understand the lifecycle she was interacting with. (I think we see this carried over in Steven during his birthday episodes when he gets especially wibbly about his age.)

If Rose is not actually Rose Diamond but taken on the Quartz title to describe her status as warrior for the planet's life, then she is probably at the very least one of Rose Diamond's honoured subjects. Given that the Diamonds' each have courts, it could be guessed that Pink Diamond's court probably held a lot of fascination for some of the things that Rose Quartz valued, but maybe transformed to meet Homeworld expectations. We know there are probably four diamonds: blue, yellow, white and pink, and it's probably likely that before coming to earth Rose and Pearl were not in Blue or Yellow's court, so even if Rose Quartz is what her name says on the tin, she's probably not far off from Pink Diamond's wheelhouse in any case.
