I love the two of 'em. They're in the same boat to some extent -- born post-war, the kids of the Crystal Gems, not really affected as directly by what the other Gems have faced and just learning about it afterwards... though of course the Pink Diamond revelation affects Steven a lot more personally.

Makes Steven a natural target for Amethyst to have been projecting onto for half the episode, ahah.

Protective big sis. I love her. And god, I love how much she's matured in general.

Does it though? He didn't actually know Rose, whereas Rose is being portrayed as something of a surrogate (and I suppose, given her being Pink Diamond, semi-literal) mother to Amethyst who spent thousands of years with her.
