>>109877290>I'd like to know how after everything Rose/Pink Diamond went through and accomplished; after how much her existence alone meant to the universe, she gave it all up for a guy with a guitar.She was Escapism: The Character. That's all you really need to know about her.
As a child, she wanted to escape from childhood. So she demanded a colony, got told by Yellow she wouldn't get one if she wouldn't stop acting like a child, and then turned on her playmate Spinel to distance herself from childishness (bonus points here for the way she did that last part being to escape conflict by telling Spinel to play a standing still game so she could leave without her following).
After getting a colony she wanted to escape from the confines associated with her higher status and the rule against intermingling casually with commoners. So she disguises herself to do that.
After getting to know how the colony works she wanted to escape from the moral implications of destroying a planet with life on it. So she tried to have her sisters stop it but to no avail.
After being shot down by her sisters she wanted to escape from the conflict disobedience would create. So she took the roundabout approach of trying to cause trouble in disguise as a rebellion leader to get them to abandon Earth.
Eventually she escaped from being herself altogether and faked her to death to live as her disguise full time.
And then of course she escaped from existence itself by giving up her gem for a child.
