OMFG! Here it is! Mosco has finally made it to the TWIST of the century! 😱🥳💜

IT IS TIME, BRETHREN

AAAAAHHH

YESSS FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

ITS HEREEEE!!

aAAHH

Luís Pacheco

I was so worried that she would figure it out before this episode, I'm so glad she didn't haha

josh

its 2am but i need to be here for this

Ashley Sotelo

PLACES EVERYONE PLACES THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! 🌺🌷

Max

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS

Joel Bernstein

I love that this arc kicks off with a Ronaldo episode fake out. Epic trolling from the crew.

Jinx

Also a cute fyi: when lazuli was singing "That distant shore" she was referring to peridot💚

Elias Cristerna

You mentioned that you might not be reading comments anymore but just in case. Fun Fact: this huge plot twist was technically foreshadowed in the non-Canon episode Say Uncle. When Uncle Grandpa examined Steven's gem with the jeweller's loupe, he remarked that Steven should have it polished twice a year. The thing is quartz crystals don't really need to be polished, but diamonds do preferably twice a year.

LikeCat

,,My dyslexia is smarter than I am" - 😂

LikeCat

That like whole 2 minutes of silence as you watch THE twist, we can pin point the moment your brain short circuited from that.

Jinx

Sir yes sir💂‍♀️awaiting orders

Rachel Mae

Honestly you missing the barn at first wasn’t frustrating at all. I thought it was funny bc I thought you were hating on Ronaldo so hard you missed it 😂 Back in the day when that episode of Connie and Steven at the library came out I theorized that pink diamond and rose were actually allies and pink’s death was faked. Which made some people big mad and I got my first ever anon hate on tumblr for it LMAO but hey even though I wasn’t right I also wasn’t too far off

LikeCat

There is a video by ,,The Roundtable" about every forshadowing before the reveal, highly, HIGHLY recommend watching it (since Mosco does not read comment anymore I hope one of the mods tells her to search it up and watch it in her free time)

peachy af

I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS AFTER I WASH MY HAIR HOLY SHITTTT

Eliteguard99

Now you know why Pearl was so upset that Rose kept secrets from her in “Rose’s Scabbard”, because Pearl knew Rose’s deepest darkest secret.

Spadez

Omg! So eager to watch that I am not even making food!!a

Jeremy Espinoza

Soo many times you accidentally said it!!!

Chet Bliese

I would now like to do a reenactment of myself when this episode first aired. 'AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Jeal Tar

LOL best reaction ever

Jergin

Mosco: GIVE ME ANSWERS also mosco: *pauses every 5 seconds for 5 minutes* Im glad we finally made it here, this episode blew my brains like Kurt Cobain when I saw it.

Callsign-Corgis

Yeeeeeessssssssss This is the episode ive been waiting for with bated breath lmfao

Andrew Pineda

[Mod] As a reminder, due to people attempting to spoil things in the SU and RWBY Patreon comments, Mosco is not looking at comments on these posts. If you ignore this and continue to post spoilers, we WILL bring it to Mosco's attention and you may potentially get banned from the Patreon.

Kayla Wolf

So glad you never guessed the twist (I thought you were gonna guess it when you paused after Rose said it was her planet).

Dale Jr

Me screaming at my phone every time they pause "KEEP WATCHINGGGG"

Draconite

Messes! I've been waiting so long for this. I'm so happy she didn't figure it out first

Corinla

Happy you finally got that answer! :D i do recommend re-watching bits of the show cause there are a few hints... but do finish first before rewatching!!

Someday Sera

*cackles madly* fun watching you go through the same general journey of confusion and utter dawning realization panic, during that last scene I did.

morthasa

Who else was waiting for weeks to see the look on Mosco's face? (And cackling like a maniac the whole time this episode?)

Martin E Melcher

I just have to say. I am so proud of this community for being able to keep this as secret as we could. Despite our 🙊🌸 posts

Table³

Lions and Diamonds and Roses, oh my.... :D

Marcy Wu

THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR HAS COME

Jackal

Kurtis cobain Silvia Shotooooo

Someday Sera

speaking of which, to not spoil people on youtube, I'd strongly suggest the mods ask mosco to not use that all caps spoiler in the patreon post title/subtitle/comment thing for the youtube upload's title in a few weeks. Up to you, i know it's a balance of not spoiling but also writing something intriguing to bring in clicks, but I've accidentally stumbled across BIG spoilers in video titles popping via the algorithm, and it's a bummer. So something a little more vague might be better for such a big potential spoiler.

Nokomis Bracken

Hey tho, can you possibly point me in the direction of the discord server?? I'm kinda dumb and can't find the info anywhere 😅

sidney

"SHE KEPTS SECRETS FROM EVERYONE.. BUT NOT FROM ME >:("

Someday Sera

right up there with some of those big owl house moments, so glad we got here without mosco figuring it out

Andrew Pineda

[Mod] Only if you’re 18+ years old. Link your Discord to your Patreon and it will join you in (or I think you should have received it in your welcome message when joining the Patreon, idk)

Rckt

I couldn’t have been blessed more. I just made food, sat down with a drink to then be notified by Patreon THAT YOU POSTED and nothing other than this episode?!!! YEASSSSS!!!

pneuma163

Between Lapis (my favorite SU character) getting that song and the big reveal, I had to watch this. It's been years since I watched SU and it's not why I joined Mosco's Patreon, but when happenstance meant that this episode was here the week I did join, I'm so glad I got to see this reaction. The orchestration of this reveal across the show was so impressive so as to catch you off guard, suggest, and mislead, and yet on a rewatch it all fits so thoroughly, so completely. To quote you, it's actually perfect. This is among the best reveals in entertainment.

PinkPonytail _Girl

I love that she went through the 5 stages of grief just like the rest if us did 🤣🤣🤣

Bonzo-(DNC,RPDNI)

im so glad this wasnt spoiled or predicted! the shock was priceless and so relatable

Evil Queen

I was waiting for this one, worth it lol

Ibrahim Shabazz

It's so satisfying to see you know now call Elijah and talk about it

tom david johansen

this was worth buying popcorn and soda, now im just waiting to see her react to, cant say who just yet, but those who know who to adore, im sure you know why :3

Sean Delaney

Luke Skywalker sends his regards, Steven

LikeCat

With that name and profile pic I read it in her voice... 🤣 Just utter unimpressness (is that areal word), so basically normal Jynx behaviour

Alp

AAAAAAAAAAAAA FINALLY.

David Johnson

It's finally here... If I wanted to get nitpicky, I'd point out his telescope would have to be about as wide as a football field in order to resolve something the size of a barn on the Moon...but I won't. ;) Everyone watching the series was "dancing around the edges." Maybe someone figured out Rose was Pink Diamond...but if they did, I have no idea who they were. Best surprise reveal in animation.

Wolfie

Yesss!!!!!

Wolfie

To think this was the one thing she didn’t predict or guess! She believed Pink Diamond was alive, but had no idea of the identity change.

Wolfie

Me too! Fantastic job everyone!

Mark Ten

Mosco was wrong about Lars (now she loves him and casts him in every episode title). She was wrong about what was on the moon... and now are we supposed to accept her contempt for Renaldo???

React Eons

Steven’s lawyer was right, Pink could’ve only been shattered by one of the Diamonds; she just didn’t consider it could’ve been done by Pink herself 🙊🌸

TrueTgirl

AT LAST! God, I remember when this got floated around as a theory for so long that people basically accepted it as canon until proven otherwise. Then the versions of the theory we had got poked with so many holes, and it went unaddressed for so long, that people actually gave up on it. Then came the final hints, with Steven seeing into Pink's memories, even from her perspective, and then THIS. We went absolutely fucking insane.

KimSea009

and now the finale has begun, wish you luck from here on out! may all your questions be answered

Koin

ITS FINALLY HERE

Alex

I can only imagine the phone call to Elijah after she got done recording.

Film Vagabond

I never thought things would be moving so fast, especially after the announcement we would be doing one steven a week

Herc the Human

Now does it make sense why Stevonnie had a dream of Connie's mom being Yellow Diamond? It was a fusion of their lives!!!

peachy af

im so glad you never once theorized it before the reveal. so exciting!!

Alex Sage

Oh the lore of the next ones are gonna be soooo good reaction wise. And the wait for these was so worth it.

peachy af

Tbh as annoying as she was for the other stuff i think all Ronaldo hate is valid 😭 a lot of people started that episode with a heavy sigh bc they thought it would be a Ronaldo episode this deep into the season so like i get it

Vex Valor

Every time you called Rose Quartz "Pink Diamond" I would be like "you are getting ahead of yourself" and it was quite funny watching you correct yourself constantly and still not come the conclusion that you were actually right. XD We had a hint something was off about Rose Quartz all the way back with the human zoo when you hear her voice in the recordings to take care of the humans. It was Pink Diamond's zoo. That was HER voice.

Caitlin

YESSS BEST REACTION IVE SEEN TO THIS!! You’ve been dancing around the answer for so long and when you realized pink had to be alive I thought for sure you were gonna figure it out! I think the reason people have been so bad about spoilers (no excuses for y’all) is because this is the one twist everyone’s been hyper fixated on. I’m sooo glad you didn’t get spoiled for it

Caitlin

Also you’ve been wondering how homeworld was doing without their rose quarts “healers” but the healing properties are all pink diamond! The rose quarts were only soldiers, with no abilities to heal or step into minds like Steven can! I remember being so confused before the reveal because I couldn’t understand how these rose quarts were made so op

Sarah

also she wasn't wrong about Lars that's the whole point of his character! He is very unlikeable at the start of the series and has basically no redeemable qualities and he feels that way about himself too. Not until he accepts that about himself when he's face to face with real danger and starts working on his attitude towards life do we see the lars we've been waiting for come out and he becomes likable. It's called a redemption arc...

Victor Graves

There were definitely MANY people who figured it out before the reveal. The fandom was pretty much divided from what I remember between the believers and the non-believers (I was part of the latter in fact, boy how wrong I was bahah!)

Sarah

Renaldo does not have one of those and is just annoying :) but if you like him that just makes the show all the much better for you! you don't have to watch her if you don't enjoy her honest reactions <3

Caitlin

Same I read that sarcastic. Every time I see these jinx comments I do

Caitlin

Is this cannon or is it just assumed? That’s so cute

Caitlin

I didn’t know this.. that’s amazing

Mechadon

Padparadsha: "Crickey! Amity is going to kiss Luz."

Caitlin

I rewatched so many parts of this reaction. Her eyes get all big when she realizes the gem is turning to the side to make a diamond, and then again when she realizes that Steven is a diamond😭 I could feel every emotion she was feeling

Stephen Mumford

This was such a great double-bluff the show pulled off. At first, when we heard about Pink Diamond, my thoughts immediately went to the trope of "Oh, Rose Quartz, Pink Diamond, same color scheme, how trite. I'm sure Rose is actually Pink in disguise or something." But then they introduced the storyline of how Rose _shattered_ Pink, so THAT was the twist! Nicely done, show. And THEN we find out that the initial trope WAS the trope all along, but they pulled it off in such a masterful way. And yes, we've all been giggling to ourselves every time you mixed up the names.

Caitlin

I don’t think anyone’s saying they don’t want honest reactions, I think he’s just thinking she’ll change her mind about him like Lars. Though I agree that Ronaldo suckkkss

Caitlin

Wait when did this announcement happen

xattygt

The twist was somehow so obvious but hidden so well

xattygt

Steven stepping into mind i kinda just assume it was an ability unique to him h

Caitlin

Yeah I think people fell into 2 categories. 1 is thinking the rose quarts have those powers and 2 thinking Steven was just special for whatever reason. I think I assumed the first but started to think Steven being half human was the reason after a bit

xattygt

Honest font know why the team loves the character so much

Arianod

Oh my fucking Diamond, this was SO worth the wait X'D It was absolutely perfect.

Film Vagabond

About 2 weeks ago before Jentry Chau ended, regarding what would happen & the new line up; especially with all the behind the scenes Project T stuff along with wanting to slow down because she felt like was burning through episodes really quickly & didn't want the show to end [relatable]

Mechadon

I'm going follow through with this Padparadsha gag when you react to the True Colors episode of Amphibia. It will be worth the wait.

Film Vagabond

Someone spoiled it for me on Youtube 7 years ago (a storytime animator of all people)

Mechadon

Fun Fact: True Colors is the reason I needed to watch somebody's reaction to it. That's how I found Elijah's channel and ultimately yours. Your reaction will be a full circle thing for me.

Verdant Crown

I think I really started to believe in the theory that Rose was Pink after Jungle Moon was released, so I was a bit late to the game. The conversation that happens between Rose and Pearl right before the reveal can be interpreted in slightly different ways depending on if you have the context or not. I was convinced that they were the same person before Rose said "my world", but the fact that it was actually real still felt like a surprise.

Kieran Shae Reacts

I'm so glad she didn't figure it out because the reveal was great!

Film Vagabond

Really fun reaction video, so glad she had such a fun reveal even after coming so close to guessing it

peachy af

They put in so many 1st hand witness stories that all believed they were true (and in a sense they were) about how rose shattered PD too! It's so brilliant

Bemmie

Just want to add that can’t go back is such an underrated episode only because it is so often placed next to a single pale rose. Still this reveal was everything we wanted and more. So many other people miss the implication that Steven is a diamond but here she was on it straight away.

Lauren Madden

THIS WAS THE EPISODE I DREAMED ABOUT, SO EXCITED TO ACTUALLY WATCH IT NOW!!

Eliteguard99

Sadly my 5+ seasons of watching Mosco squirm from not getting her answers immediately comes to an end. At least I got to see her squirm a little more in the last episode, it was fun while it lasted!

CrissyJay

I was actually really happy that you didn't figure it out before this reveal because I wanted this to be the mind blowing moment it's supposed to be!

Cambren Williams

When after Steven universe are u watching the movie and the next show???

Jinx

Cannon

NatMcK7

She will watch it when she finishes season 5

dz1jgmeyer

Yeah, it's a real fucker of a twist

Lilit Booth

Does anyone know when she's going to upload the reaction to the next pair of videos on patreon?

BigPoppaJohn89

i love how that blew her fucking mind, i slow clapped at her reaction like "Now you finally know" lol

ArcticBanana

31:40 - Notice Pearl's wording here. She doesn't say "once you find my phone," she specifically says, and *clearly enunciates*, "once you find what you're looking for." 42:22 - There was actually a fan theory since VERY early in series that Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond. The reveal still blew everyone's minds. 45:05 - It was confirmed by somebody, i don't remember if it was Rebecca herself or someone else on the team, that Pearls cannot disobey a clear and direct order from their owner, and are literally unable to disobey a direct order from a Diamond. Pink Diamond ordered Pearl to never speak of this to anybody ever, and so Pearl was literally physically unable to tell anybody... but she found a loophole. She couldn't TELL Steven, but Pearl inside Pearl inside Pearl etc. etc. could SHOW him. 46:20 - Remember how Pearl said back in "Cat Fingers" that all Gems can shapeshift but that she doesn't like to do it? It's assumed that this is why. 46:27 - So, you know how when Gems are poofed, they usually use that as a chance to update their appearance? Pink Diamond probably changed herself to look like a Rose Quartz, so that it would be her actual body without needing to be shapeshifted all the time. 49:02 - You just know Garnet is backtracking through her Future Vision right now, like "Was this even remotely a possibility, anywhere, any time, at all, ever?!"

You finally know the truth. Welcome Mosco we’ve been expecting you 😂😂😂

ShadowFox1412

"pink diamond must be alive" que hysterical laughter on my part every time you said that. if only you knew, well now you do!

Bemmie

Mosco: put me in the box with the information. Give me all the information! *gets the information straight to her face* Mosco: that was unconsentual

Caitlin

She usually posts 2 episodes on both Thursday and Saturday. But idk if that’s changed because I’ve heard she might only be posting once a week, if that’s the case then next Saturday

Bemmie

Knowing what’s coming there’s going to be plenty to squirm about. Perhaps for different reasons.

Caitlin

Ah I must’ve missed that. So fair tho because the rest of the seasons gonna go by so fast

AJ Lund

It's kind of sad how many reactors pre-watch content, or are spoiled beforehand and act like they weren't. That's why I usually just keep them as background noise to keep my adhd satisfied. But Mosco? They more I've watched of her, the more I've noted how actually genuine she is, and how enjoyable that journey of emotions is to see from the outside. That's why I subscribed to this Patreon, especially for this episode. Even more specifically, that exact moment at 41:03 where her head does that little shake. That movement is pure, involuntary shock. It's delayed by just a half second after the information hits her brain, and then short circuits everything. You can't fake that, and if you can, you belong in the highest reaches of Hollywood. If you ever want to know if someone is actually watching something for the first time, THAT's the moment to look for. It was beautiful, it was wonderful, and it's exactly what I kept hoping for from other reactors. As others have said: truly welcome to Steven Universe. I'll definitely be sticking around for future content, if only for the rest of SU and because I'm a long time RWBY fan (ask me about the fanfiction I've helped edit for literal years now. No, wait, don't, there's way too many spoilers, lol). As a side note, as someone who has been in the FNDM for so long, I might have to suggest to the mods to just block all comments on those videos until you've fully watched through it. I know the Mosco fans are great (as evidenced by this wonderful video), but fully half the FNDM are toxic af, and some of the other half just don't have a concept of other people not knowing things they know and will just spoil willy nilly. I wish it wasn't like that, but that ship sailed years ago. Either way, sorry for the long page of text, not sure if anyone's even going to read it, lol, but I'm definitely looking forward to the Future!

Charles Bowden

Honestly, it's no wonder that Rose Quartz ended up as legendary as she is, even aside from allegedly shattering a diamond--the Off-Colors having all heard wild rumors about her and all. She's supposedly just a quartz like Amethyst or Jasper but has all these unbelievable powers that are completely unrelated to her gem type.

Siri2319

We finally made it here guys!!!🌺

Nuk Limpear

I am LITERALLY vibrating right now, god it's so GOOD!!!!

Sebastion Martinez

Steven being able to activate all the diamond stuff is what gave it away for me

bloodyshadow1

now you know why pearl always refused to shapeshift like the other gems, not to mention how disturbed she gets at the concept of eating

bloodyshadow1

also why she clutches her mouth to shut herself up whenever the past is mentioned

Haldon Lindstrom

*checks time for video* yeah, this is the one! Been so excited for this reaction.

Daphne Pfister

Was so looking forward to this reaction, loved this episode. Could relive my reaction seeing it the first time by watching how you reacted. I know the gem in the hand was like the "could it be" moment when I was watching, and the "my planet" bit was like "wait it is?". Obligatory fake retro spoiler: Mystery Girl/S was the Sabina mentioned in pool party. Sabina is a rose hybrid. Sabina was the first human / gem hybrid with Pink as the gem.

Rose and Elly

Over on Youtube, very early on, I put in a "fake spoiler" about Cookie Cat being massively plot relevant. Many episodes later, it turns out it wasn't a fake spoiler. Cookie Cat. She left her family behind.

A Dead Diehard

Reaction content is a surprisingly tricky thing to do for how simple it sounds on paper.

Rose and Elly

You know, if you'd like to watch teh next two early so you don't have to wait a full week, I don't think anyone would mind...

Dinker

This watch through was the first time I realized it was Blue's idea. In the flashback she says to Pink "As long as you are here to rule this colony will be completed."

Dinker

She's already done the post that she can't read Patreon comments anymore because of shifty people leaving comments.

Wilhelm Hedin

Mosco actually commented on it at one point!

Wilhelm Hedin

It is why I signed up! This episode! Worth the wait. ❤️

AJ Lund

@Dinker oh, Im fully aware. I meant everywhere, i.e. youtube, discord, etc. Of course, I wouldn't put it past some toxic person to then go to other videos just to spoiler her fir RWBY.

dannyzee123

I've been waiting so long for you to get to this episode, and it was worth the wait. Literally everything was leading up to this reveal. I don't smoke, but I feel like I need a cigarette after watching this. Us viewers watch reactors for the vicarious experience of someone seeing our favorite thing for the first time, and this was about as perfect a vicarious brain-splosion could possibly be. Just watching that moment when your eyes bugged out practically completely out of their sockets, lol! I'm gonna rewatch that reaction again and again. So, welcome to the truth! Man, I'd love to know how your next conversation with Elijah went after learning this! I bet it went something like: Mosco: "AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Elijah: "AAAAAAAAAAA!" Both: "AAAAAAAAAAAA!" And yes, we were all giggling and grinning like Cheshires every time you accidentally called Pink Diamond Rose or vice versa, or unintentionally guessed something close to the truth! Why yes, Rose did have a higher status of gem! Yes, Pearl did sorta belong to Rose! Yes, Pink Diamond is alive somewhere for him to be recalling her memories! Hehehe!

Connie Clemons

I’ve been very excited for this episode. It’s great and there is still plenty of good stuff left.

Caitlin

Right! she was my favorite mystery in any show because of that. Before the reveal I thought all the characters, like homeworld gems, were imagining that she could do more than she really could. I thought talk and rumors about her had snowballed her description into something of a legend, which is kind of true but not in the way I thought it would be

Jx

Is she still doing 2 eps a week? Or is it just one ep now

OziasEvren

This is one of 2 I've been waitinggggg for and the second one should be in the next upload eeeee I'm so excited 😊

lance freeman

I loved every time you didn't figure it out because see you're reaction to this is the best. You really made my day, thank you.

myrryah kibbons

I've been waiting for your reaction on this video. Such a big moment in the show. We started watching you on YouTube and I couldn't wait. So I subscribed and I don't think I will unsubscribe. Love your reactions I think you're really going to enjoy the next few episodes

myrryah kibbons

My husband and I watch you together every week. Has become a highlight for us

Jack Faulkner

Made my weekend watching you react to this! Made a special lunch with the house to myself to treat myself. You were so close to figuring it out along the way!!

Crystal Tarkington

We've all been waiting for this moment since you started watching this show and it was soooooo satisfying. 🤐🫡🥹

Fabi

Wait until you get to the reveal that Sapphire is actually Blue Diamond, it's breathtaking

Wolfie

Since it’s not specifically said in show, this is why Pearl never shape shifts. It’s also heavily implied this is why Pearl constantly sacrificed herself to save Rose, because she knew if Rose got poofed the secret would be exposed- and during the war that would have been extremely dangerous.

SweetCandle

I hate these filler episodes. When are we going to get back to Mayor Dewey?

Daniel Nolt

You should rewatch the show knowing this and see how many times Pearl covers her mouth like that, especially when it came to discussing rose. Also in the Greg and rose flashback episode when Greg and Rose tried to fuse. Greg gets upset at her laughing and says "Just talk to me like a real person" And rose looks taken back and called out and stutters while saying "I'm not... a real person". Then she kind of questions herself and spirals a little, because "Rose Quarts" was in fact, not a real person, just a persona. Greg unintentionally called her out. There are a metric ton of cool little Easter Eggs through out the show if you have the fool context. Like from season one, when Pearl tries to take Steven into space, look at her space suit. Crazy Stuff

Ibrahim Shabazz

This is my favorite reaction ever already watched it 4 times gonna watch again in the morning

Jason Hoagland

I love that when we get to episode 17 everyone always thinks it's gonna be a crappy Renaldo episode, then it takes the big turn that leads to A Single Pale Rose.

Racheal Yaris

I've tried not to get my hopes up but OMGGG! And it's gonna focus on Lars!!! I'm bouncing off the walls!!!! Steven Universe came out at such a formative time in my life and I can't believe it's coming back!

MxChloeB42

I remember really getting into the community around one of the hiatuses during season 2. And this theory made it's rounds on the subreddit that Rose was Pink Diamond. And it was always a minority with a lot of people dismissing it as a possibility all together, but I always was like "sure it could be true, but I feel like that would really diminish the meaning of the show and be cliche writing if it was" and boy I remember when this episode aired live the egg was on my face. Not only was it confirmed true, but it makes so much sense especially with future episodes delving into Pink more. But I'll leave that more for when we get to those episodes.

Brett

I'm now wondering what Elijah's reaction to this reaction is?

Courtney Boike

Holy moly, here we are guys. The Big One. I probably ran around my living room screaming when this episode aired! It is absolutely worth it to rewatch with this specific knowledge in mind. Literally every inconsistency with this particular backstory or just with Rose (info we get in "Lion 2", "Lion 3", "Lion 4", "An Indirect Kiss" "Bismuth", "Earthlings", "Back to the Moon", "Bubbled", "That Will Be All", "Storm in the Room", "The Trial", "Jungle Moon"...throughout the whole show all the way up to "Your Mother and Mine" where we get the story that Garnet knew because Rose told her a version of the story, not because Garnet was there...), every thought of Steven being crazy OP (healing/resurrection/sentient plant creation & astral projection/dreamwalking/mind switching/empathetic mind connection & shield/bubble & super strength & floating...the list goes on, and is a lot more than quartzes like Amethyst or Jasper have), every time Pearl talks about Rose with such wistfulness and every conversation we see between them (especially in episodes like "Rose's Scabbard", "Sworn to the Sword", "We Need to Talk", and "Mr. Greg")...it all falls into place with this revelation.

Mystic

And here it is. The big reveal that has been foreshadowed since the PILOT. The amount of subtle foreshadowing throughout the entire show for this moment is incredible. I also had a similar reaction to yours. This reveal genuinely broke me lol

Becca ^-^

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mosco you are truly a delight to watch everytime Sorry this was a lot, but you wanted answers 😬😬🫣🫣💜💜

Taigan

I’m sure everyone has noticed this already, but this is why until this episode we never heard Pink Diamond speak. In all the flashbacks up to now it was always someone else’s voice. Because we would have recognized her voice as Rose’s

marnacles

This was such an INCREDIBLE reaction to the reveal. It was so fun watching you dance around the truth, I could tell you were SO CLOSE to figuring it out lol, but I’m glad you didn’t because it made the plot twist that much more explosive/enjoyable/insane

SauceyRed

I am UNBELIEVABLY happy that Mosco didn't figure it out before the reveal! I'm genuinely pretty surprised she didn't figure it out, like, at the *very* least I expected her to figure it out before unpausing right before the reveal. God it was peak.

Katatonic-stranger

And this reaction is why spoiling this twist is a crime punishable by death.
