She shapeshifted in order to give herself a womb. Had a pregnancy with Greg as the father. Bequeathed her gem to the baby at some point.
The crewniverse have said that Rose shapeshifted a womb for Steven. Nothing more, nothing less. Any other explanation on how Steven was created is up to your discretion and imagination.
She knew how to bring the best out of people, and everyone she met was impacted by her presence. As a gem, Rose Quartz couldn't have a child with her human partner in a traditional sense and ultimately had to give up her physical form for Steven to be born.
She became pregnant with Steven, but since the holder of the magic gem can only be one person, Rose, as Greg puts it, "gave up her physical form to bring Steven into the world". Although she could fight as well as any Gem, she was full of love and compassion for every living thing she ever encountered.
He is the first and only known Gem–human hybrid, the product of the union between the Crystal Gems' original leader, Rose Quartz, and Greg Universe, a human musician and car-wash owner. Rose "gave up her physical form" to create Steven, leaving behind only her pink, pentagonal-faceted gem, now embedded in his navel.
The Rose Quartz who mistreated Pearl and lied to the other Gems learned to be honest and respectful with Greg. Like every Gem, Pink Diamond was born to her purpose-- to be an abusive despot. Gems change, but they do so at a geologic pace.
You can't separate the human from the Gem after it has been fused. Steven is therefore a permanent fusion.
According to Vrai Kaiser of The Mary Sue, Pearl deals with severe unresolved grief, coupled with deep-seated issues with self-worth, resulting in her falling prey to "powerful, impulsive emotions" whenever Rose is mentioned. Naith Payton of PinkNews described Pearl's devotion to Rose as "unhealthy and obsessive".
Initially, I thought Amethyst had repressed romantic feelings towards Greg and was slightly jealous of Rose's and Greg's relationship, but I see now that this isn't the case. Pearl said that Amethyst and Greg would be gone for days. This would indicate that Amethyst and Greg were really close at one point in time.
Ancient Roman, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations used quartz crystals as potent talismans. The Romans used rose quartz as a seal to signify ownership, and Egyptians believed the stone could prevent aging. In the Middle Ages, medical practitioners used quartz in their healing potions.
Nope. During Change Your Mind, his gem is outside his body, and he is seen weak and dying. He cannot live without his gem.
So as we all know the canonical explanation for how Rose got pregnant despite being (technically) genderless was by shape-shifting an entire female reproductive system.
Steven's gem glows when he's comfortable and surrounded by his family's love, just like in the first episode. Amethyst shapeshifts into a baby, something she does again in "So Many Birthdays". We see Buck and Jenny as kids, playing in the snow.
Trivia. This episode reveals that Greg and Rose had planned to name Steven "Nora" if he was born a girl. This is connected to Rebecca Sugar's own life, as her parents almost named her Nora.
Just as Pink Pearl is scanned by Shell so she can be healed, it's revealed that she cannot actually be healed due to her scar being as a result of psychological damage. She tries to insist to Steven and Pearl that she is fine, but the crack on her eye only gets worse.
It's great to see Pearl end up with someone as amazing as Bismuth and hey, Bismuth gets to be happy to! It's the relationship you never knew you wanted but now can't live without.
It's confirmed that Pearl was in love with Rose due to the events of "Lion 3: Straight to Video"; "Rose's Scabbard"; "Story for Steven"; "Sworn to the Sword"; "We Need to Talk"; and "Chille Tid".
Peridot isn't ready to fuse, Lapis had an abusive relationship involving fusion, and as a pair, they don't need to fuse to work together and be close.
Why do I think she can? Two words: Connie Maheswaran. Connie can fuse with steven despite being a normal human being, so there's no reason why Peridot wont be able to fuse as well. As long as one componant can fuse and both are compatable, then they can fuse together.
Rose liked greg because he made her laugh and showed her a whole new way of life; music. Which makes sense in the whole idea of entertainment with pink diamond. Greg admited he loved her.
Yes, Pearl loved Rose deeply, and Steven's presence is a constant reminder that Rose didn't love her in quite the same way.
Rose loves humans—banging humans — thus, Rose starts an intergalactic war so she could bang more humans.
