You know, I’ve been thinking about the Barn Mates leak.
The implication that Peridot is “public enemy #1″ seems a little out there at first. Sounds a bit over-dramatic; surely Homeworld has bigger fish to fry. But if you think about it, it makes sense.
We’ve seen nothing to suggest that Homeworld still has any real problems at present. Rose Quartz’s rebellion has been all but forgotten, Peridot’s mission to Earth is implied by Jasper to be routine and uninteresting and Yellow Diamond had little interest in Peridot before realizing she was on Earth.
Things are normal. Orderly. Efficient.
Then Yellow Diamond gets that call. And her reaction is to declare Peridot a public enemy. Not because this Peridot failed in her mission and insulted her, though she’s probably angry about that too, but because she directly disobeyed and continues to disobey orders.
And for what? To protect Earth. It’s always Earth. To Yellow Diamond, this probably comes as a déjà vu. She’s seeing the start of another rebellion. If one Peridot can find a reason to disobey her, all of them can.
The logical solution? Nip it in the bud. Eliminate this Peridot at all costs.
All this time I’m thinking about how there’s big twenty-story tall ‘WANTED’ posters on Homeworld of a green lil shit for telling Yellow Diamond to go fuck herself. Peridot, the sole defier of the Diamonds. Peridot, the bane of the Cluster. Peridot, the mastermind of the resistance.
DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF MERCY?
Imagine her emotional mess when she hears this o 3o
