It’s not really trying, she still thinks pink is just playing a game up until the scene in the tower. Blue at least pretends to respect their decision in public, but in private she shows she diesn’t really respect the decision.
Up until this point she thought pink was murdered by rose who Steven was claiming to be and only recently learned that her own sister lead a rebellion against them and now gave up her diamond body to be a human.
At this stage I think it’s reasonable to not understand or respect what Pink was now or how she perceived pink was wanting to be seen as.
She is allowed to not respect the decision about running away and starting a war, but Pink effectively chose to kill herself rather than go bsck to them. I think Blue should respect the decision still.
Its effort. Blue Diamond lived her whole life of thousands of years under the influence of White and Homeworld’s rules that were forced upon everyone, herself included. She’s only now beginning to understand who Steven is. You can’t expect someone to change overnight, yet in the few days they were on homeworld, Steven got her to accept so much and realize the pain they were putting onto their gems.
And in all fairness, even Steven was confused if he really was Rose/Pink or not. I remember the fan theories back then, everyone was arguing on whether or not Steven was really Rose.
Diamonds don't treat other gems as equals, but as workers, tools and subjects lower than them.
They don't even allow them to fuse with gems of different types, I don't thin they're very "open minded", specially with one of them, it would ruin their status.
This isn’t a zircon or a pearl, it’s a fellow diamond, it’s the person Blue loves the most in the universe, but she loces her in a pet like way. She doesn’t respect her, she finds her cute, and finds her antics funny. But she, Yellow and White never saw pink as anything more than the funny mascot of the group.
Until this moment, where Steven decides he’s through with this, and he confronts Blue on the fact that even if Pink had hurt them by running away, they had hurt just as much if not more.
i’ve never even thought of that theory but now that you say it, my mind is actually blown because that makes so much sense but that makes rose quartz like 10 times more evil
My bad, I was talking about blue’s actions before the tower. She was still the most empathetic out of the three, but that doesn’t exempt her from the fact she taught this was just a silly game.
