You know, for a while now (basically since the Lars development) I had been feeling like Steven was getting over-powered, and it was straining credibility.

I...do not have that complaint anymore.

I'm betting she's not free of the geas, but she's been trying to talk around it for a while. They should be able to have clear, effective conversations about it now that Steven knows what she's talking around -- "oh, you mean X, right?" "[hands-over-mouth nod]".

So could Steven wield the authority of Pink Diamond to release Pearl explicitly from the geas? Freeing someone is about as uncorruptive a use of such power as I can think of.

What do you mean by crystal animals? There's all the corrupted Gems, which for once I don't think are Rose's responsibility at all -- that's entirely on the other Diamonds. Lion is a whole different thing, an ordinary Earth lifeform infused with magic. Steven himself has made a bunch of unintentional independent entities, from the Watermelon Island civilization to the Pumpkin-dog, but as far as I can remember Lion is the only one we've seen from Rose's era.

As mentioned, "Lion's Share" from the comic Steven Universe #6 features a couple. The basilisk (page 1, panel 4) has jutting gemstones as dorsal spines; the Steven Universe Wikia page notes that the specimen in "Lion 2: The Movie" died in organic fashion, leaving a tangible carcass, rather than poofing. The rat's eye (closeup in page 2, panel 3) is an amber-toned cabochon.





(Also, I'm betting Amethyst ate the rat Lion brought her.)
