>>103561490Who are we counting as Rose's people in this scenario? The Crystal Gems, the humans, or the gems that refused to fight with the CGs, because they were loyal to Rose?
In that case, Rose was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place, pun intended. Technically speaking, if that corruption blast never happened, that would have been the most succesful pulloff of a proxy war, a false flag attack, and a cultural liberation in a cartoon series.
As for right, the Mewni probably had it coming. They're a bit ineffectual most of the time, so you can forgive her for thinking that they'd just roll over like they do everytime something unorthodox occurs.
