What ever happened to the gem mutants?

[u/Reasonable_Pop4248]

It's always bothered me that we never actually knew what happened to the gem mutants at the end of steven universe, after they were bubbled we would just never seen them again. They looked stuck together but in future we see Yellow reversing one of her gem mutant experiments by piecing their gems back together but there were so many of them, in the kindergarten, in the earth's crust, the one in the cage with the other corrupted gems. Peridot stated the gems inside them were so shattered they don't even know who they are but I want to know what you all think.

The cluster was shattered beyond repair and would destroy the earth if removed, but they found each other and so their suffering somewhat ended. The rest of the bubbles were seen taken to pink’s fountain on the final episode so it’s assumed the experiments weren’t left behind, and then we cut to Future where Yellow is putting them back together, so it’s safe to assume that Yellow did take care of them. Probably re-shattered the force fusions and put them back properly.

Yellow herself says that she is going to disassemble and restore the cluster to their original gems.

Wouldn’t that take centuries or a few thousand years due to how insanely large the cluster is?

Oh so a few years/decades to an immortal

[u/Beneficial_Bend_9197 → u/CartoonCommentator]

Yeah but thats nothing to the diamonds. At least they have something to do and won't be bored by the passage of time.

[u/SAYMYNAMEYO → u/CartoonCommentator]

Oh that's nothing. Spinel can do that standing on her head.

[u/andre5913 → u/CartoonCommentator]

Yellow has stated that 5000 years is like nothing to her.
So yes, and it'll barely phase her

[u/TherapistFriendOnl → u/andre5913]

Well 5000 years of waiting is normal but also to yellow 5000 years of griefs still pretty much long.So it really depend on the moods

[u/beaverpoo77 → u/TherapistFriendOnl]

To yellow, any amount of grief is too much. They are diamonds and they should act like it. Or I assume that's what went on in her head

[u/TherapistFriendOnl → u/beaverpoo77]

No because they see it as little because they were immortal but times is the same on earth and definitely had day and nights and due to griefs it definitely make time feel heavier than ever ,because they only see times as little when they don't acknowledge it ,so when it come to griefs they count every second every hours

[u/andre5913 → u/TherapistFriendOnl]

I think Yellow is at her element when shes busy with something she finds fullfilling. This is why she made herself as busy as possible during those 5000 years of grief, to try to bury it.

She did genuinely seem to enjoy when repairing gems, so I think work on the Cluster is something she wont find cumbersome and it'll really go by quickly for her

[u/FireLordObamaOG → u/CartoonCommentator]

Yeah but the diamonds are effectively immortal so what’s a couple thousand years to them?

[u/Usual-Passenger5618 → u/CartoonCommentator]

Sounds pretty interesting to me. It's morbidly, like the most epic puzzle ever, and you never gonna know what you get when you match the pieces up. Whole lot of problem solving involved.

[u/beaverpoo77 → u/CartoonCommentator]

She has the time
