ok i agree but HEAR ME OUT. i also think it’s because she wanted to improve herself but she can’t since she’s a gem. Look at Greg the baby sitter. Pink envies the way humans can change who they are and grow up.  I think Pink also killed herself because look at the condition of gem kind  before she died. It wasn’t really a happy story. Corrupted gems were roaming the earth and the diamonds were still running homeworld oppressively. Pink only “won” her rebellion because she didn’t live in homeworld anymore. Now look at Steven’s life. His influence with the gems brought out their ability to grow with him. like Garnet says in Gem harvest, they didn't feel like a family until Steven came along. Plus, I pretty sure the earth would have been destroyed if Steven was never born.

Long story short, Pink sacrificed herself so that she can change who she is (literally. Not a persona like Rose) and also truly fix Homeworld and the mess she had made during the rebellion through Steven. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

A friendly reminder that Pink literally wanted to kill herself because of the abuse in her family

”James Baxter, who is one of the most amazing animators, still is, ever on the planet, has this chip in his head where he understands not only how to make Belle and the Beast dance, but also change it in perspective, so as the camera drops from the ceiling down to the level of Belle and the Beast dancing, that was drawn by a human being, a mere mortal with pencil and a piece of paper to fit into that beautiful computer graphics ballroom.” - Don Hahn, producer of Beauty and the Beast [x]

Thank you to the Steven Universe community for saying such positive things about this scene, we thought you might like to see the pencil test. These are the shots from “Change Your Mind” that I animated and that Kendra @bcakesbaxter tied down. Thank you Rebecca for letting us be a part of your beautiful show. Thanks to our Drew @poseidonsbitch for scanning it all.

“Spirit was probably the film I learned the most on. Spirit was a big learning experience for me. I’d done a few four-legged animals here and there, but I really didn’t get into the real heart of it until Spirit. That’s really why I wanted to do it. It’s like, I need to get to the heart of this matter if I’m going to be a complete animator.

“I’d done a few little horses pulling carts in Beauty and the Beast and some lions walking around in The Lion King, but to do the horse and really take it apart, to figure out the gates and get it enough into your system that you could then just animate it and have the horses do things that horses really can’t do, but make it look like they could do…you know? To just have the freedom to be able to animate an animal without having to rely on any live action for it, or to have it enough in your system that you could do it – that was the challenge and the joy of doing that film.”
