strangespacerock:iztarshi:strangespacerock:@knittingnightgaunt just was wondering at me if the decoration on the end of the axe is decoration or if we’re looking at another gem-powered weapon here. I think it’s decoration, it looks a lot like the handle of Amethyst’s whip and it’s goddamn huge, but now I’m not 100% sure. Anyone have any thoughts? I don’t think it’s an individual gem from an individual Gem, but I wonder if it’s more than decoration. It looks a bit like the bulbs on top of the injectors. And the Kindergarten control room is powered by a rock formation. Maybe there are charged up rocks that can be power sources?…on the other hand it’s quite likely to be decoration and I’m overthinking.I dunno how much it looks like the bulbs on the injectors, it hasn’t quite got that virus-head feel, but that’s a possibility? Looking at them, it seems more likely that their heads are full of whatever they’re pumping into the ground, which would make sense as that’s where the DNA ‘lives’ on the equivalent viruses (…and it just occurred to me that the bits around that Warp Pad are prooooobably refills for the gem injectors and thus probably gems that never got a chance to grow and now I’m sad). It seems more likely any charged up rocks that are power sources were probably gems at one point, on the evidence.I’m not sure you can overthink this show at this point, they’re very good at details that turn out to be clues/vitally important in retrospect. The thing is the charged up rocks have the same problem this bulb does when it comes to being a Gem – they’re big. The green rocks powering the control room are as big as the whole of Peridot and seem to be a formation rather than a single gem.They may be powered up by draining power from Gems (and it does worry me that modern technology seems to be powered exclusively by power the exact same colour as Peridot’s) but I don’t think they can just be Gems.Whereas the individual rocks powering the cogs in Friend Ship really do look like they could have been Gems (rose quartzes?) once. -- source link
