Another Pink š Discussion
You know, the more I think about it, the more I begin to think that maybe Pinkās behavior wasnāt an act of being a brat, but more of a person on the brink of losing it⦠Perhaps from being isolated/sheltered since she broke from the surface of which she was born from. I mean from what we gather in the āStrandedā Special, she has no army, no colony, NOTHING. Pink is probably envious of the others for their accomplishments and wants to prove her worth, but sadly can never get that chance because of the others fears/doubts(?). Maybe her moment of saying she just as important is a possible š for help⦠She might be getting upset and š because she feels like she isnāt good enough, like sheās a flaw in what is perceived as the perfect system/authority. YDās āThen why donāt you act like it,ā may have just further drove the feeling that sheās nothing into her mindscape. Pink probably wanted to shout how she could if given the liberty⦠but she doesnāt. Whenever out of fear or sadness is unsure, but from the way she punched the wall and the way she looked(anger/hurt), itās quite possible she has a lot of bottled emotions raging inside her. Now, I was wondering, if this is the case why doesnāt she talk it out? Well, how can one possibly talk things out without being considered weak, without being brushed off or ignored? Even if Pink could speak her mind to get the point across, it probably wouldnāt do much of anything: YD would remain uncaring in her own way(or just filing it as Pink being the brat she sees her as), Blue would listen but she wouldnāt be there all the time cause like the others, sheās busy with her own set of planets, her own colony etc., and Whiteās away all the time, never fully there or just there in a second than leaving without hearing a word. And at the time, she doesnāt have her own colony/soldiers or anything, sheās alone with her own thoughts, and they are thoughts of grief, despair, rage, disbelief, fear⦠and self-hatred. Maybe the others didnāt mean to harm her, but those emotions found their way in, and they wonāt let go until Pink makes a choice no matter how drastic or devastating it causes the others⦠She wants to feel important cause the OTHERS are important, she wants to feel like she is a š and not just some mistake the others donāt want nor need, she wants to feel like sheās something. Sheās may be a š, but just like other gems she is capable of human emotions, and so far/from what I can tell, sheās probably a Type A or Type B Stepford Smiler: happy on the outside, but bitter/empty/š on the inside. And she canāt do anything about without looking like a pathetic, weak mess in front of the others, which is probably why she only acts out when YDās back is turned: she doesnāt want her to know whatās going on and have her say something that can impact the situation and cause even further inner turmoil, possibly causing Pink to make a choice that for a better term⦠Make her do something deeply regrettable in the future⦠And unfortunately, this causes more unstable thoughts to be added to the mix which could lead to Pink⦠offing herself just to make it stop or to possibly stop the š Authority from being known as this weak system easily destroyed by rebellionā¦
