artemispanthar: It’s really interesting to me that one of the punishment/tortures Pink had to endure was Blue’s emotional manipulation and being made to cry who knows how many times and then crying became one of Rose Quartz’s most powerful and iconic powers. She essentially took something that was historically a source of pain and strife for her and not only turned it into a strength but also a tool specifically used to heal the pain of others, something to help rather than something to hurt. Steven’s healing powers are through his spit and a Gem’s body is a projection of light and all biological processes are simulated, so there’s no specific reason why Rose’s healing powers had to be through tears rather than saliva or sweat or just sourced through her gem (Garnet even says Rose’s healing tears flowed from her gem). Whether on a conscious or subconscious level or even just a storytelling level, it feels significant to me that Rose would have her healing powers manifest as tears now knowing how being forced to cry was a punishment used against her when she was Pink Diamond. -- source link
