change your mind reveals pink’s aura and its effect on gems

Blue diamond has control over emotion. By expanding her aura outward, she can forcefully illicit emotional reactions from other gems.

Yellow has control over physical form. She can electrocute and poof gems immediately, destroying their projected physical existence.

White has control over mind. She can completely posses a gem, negating their own free will entirely.

In this episode, though it’s not initially apparent, we get to see Pink’s.

It is the blush on white diamond’s face, on every gem’s face in the room.

This blush that turns gems pink, just like blue’s turns everything blue.

Like yellow’s electricity.

Like white diamond’s eye rays.

Pink’s ability is the very same thing that brought the diamonds together thousands of years ago, “with a joke or a song.” It’s what brings them together yet again in this episode.

It helps free the crystal gems as well as the other diamonds from White’s control, restoring what makes them who they are.

And it happens when Steven makes a joke.

Pink’s aura is laughter. It’s celebration. It’s joy.

It’s soul.

edit: so uh shoutout to everyone in the notes pointing out that the episode is literally called “battle of the heart and mind.” i’m gonna go lay down for a bit.
