Steven Universe (Fandom)/Ships

= Bellow Diamond = Bellow Diamond is the non-binary ship between Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond.

Canon
Yellow Diamond cares deeply for Blue Diamond, attempting to comfort her with a song and sympathize with her. However, she does not understand Blue’s desire to preserve Pink’s legacy, as they both have different methods of mourning over their fellow Diamond. Yellow is firm on her as she believes it is best for Blue to focus on the future and her people rather than sit and wallow in regret.

During the trial against Rose Quartz (Steven), both have conflicting views on the trial process; Yellow wants to get it over with and execute Steven, but Blue wants to hear Rose out and learn the truth. Yellow is seen comforting Blue Diamond when Steven unintentionally upsets her. When Yellow poofs the Zircons, Blue Diamond yells at Yellow, demanding she restrain herself.

In “Reunited”, when Steven was talking to Blue in the mindscape and Blue said that she thought she heard something, Yellow said that she was being more hysterical than usual, implying that she thought Blue was usually hysterical, at least since the supposed shattering of Pink Diamond. Once Steven is revealed to possess Pink's Gem, Yellow and Blue seem to have a more cooperative relationship, as seen in “Together Alone” where they both agree that Steven throwing a ball would be the perfect event to mark the beginning of Era 3.

When Blue decides to help Steven and Connie return to Earth, Yellow tells her to send hem to the prison tower. Blue refuses, and the two engage in a physical fight that results in Yellow attempting to poof Blue. Steven stops her and makes her realize just how much her actions have hurt Blue and Pink, the two people she cares about most. Yellow breaks into tears as Blue comforts her. The two later work together to help Steven escape Homeworld, and are later seen having fun together along with White at Rose’s fountain.

Fanon
Bellow Diamond is a currently growing ship, having more and more people ship it as time passes. A fair amount of fans started shipping the characters together after “The Trial” aired; However, the ship grew relatively in size after “Change Your Mind”. Those who oppose the ship believe that Blue and Yellow Diamond are “like sisters”, while defenders of the ship argue that gems do not have siblings.

= Bellow Pearl = Bellow Pearl is the non-binary ship between Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl from the Steven Universe fandom.

Canon
The bulk of their relationship is unknown, but in one instance Yellow Pearl is seen smirking towards Blue Pearl, then being short with her after she does not immediately join in and sing for Blue Diamond at Yellow's command.

The two often appear onscreen together, similar to their diamonds. In several instances, they are seen singing together, standing together, or dancing together, though most of these occurrences are at the commands of one of their diamonds.

In "The Trial", Yellow Pearl gives her a worried look after Zircon mentions Pink Diamond's Pearl. Yellow Pearl is initially stunned and disapproving when Blue Pearl admits that she enjoys drawing in "Together Alone", but is pleased by a drawing of herself and asks Blue Pearl to draw her from another angle.

In "Everything's Fine" Bismuth is crafting Wedding Armor with Pearl, with Yellow Pearl as her base, with Blue Pearl smiling along at Yellow Pearl, this can be taken as the Ship being canon or Blue Pearl just looking to see if it fits, This could also be seen as Bismuth making wedding armor for Pearl.

= Spinearl= Spinearl is the non-binary ship between Spinel and Pink Pearl from the Steven Universe fandom.

Canon
Even though the two characters are from the same series, they are never shown interacting in the canon. They can't even interact in the Steven Universe games because Spinel doesn't appear in any game Pink Pearl does. However, both were early servants of Pink Diamond.

However, both Spinel and Pearl were traumatized by Pink Diamond. Spinel was told to stay in Pink Diamond's garden as a "game" and Spinel waited patiently for 6,000 years. Pink Diamond never returned to her. Upon learning the truth, Spinel cried until her face was scarred by tear marks and proceeded to attack Steven in retaliation. Pink Pearl had her right eye cracked by Diamond, in a fit of nerves for not being allowed to have a colony in her last instance, White Diamond. Her physical damage never healed due to the emotional trauma caused by the injury and Pink Pearl was seen cowering thousands of years later when Steven had a similar outburst, showing that her trauma still impacted her.

Both of their color palettes are pink, Spinel's being darker, while Pearl is more pastel. Both have also been shown to have playful and happy personalities. Pink Pearl used to play with Pink Diamond in secret while it was Spinel's job to keep her diamond entertained. Both are also shown to have been a bit naive at times. Pink Pearl seems to have no problem with the fact that she was possessed by White Diamond for 8,000 years and easily forgives Pink Diamond for accidentally harming her during one of her outbursts. Spinel was easily tricked by Pink Diamond into staying still for 6,000 while believing that she would return the entire time.

Fanon
Shippers among the fandom have agreed that Spinel and Pearl are similar in a lot of ways, the most brought up reason being their trauma, others just thinking the ship would be cute as well as providing both characters with love interests. A common scenario of how they could've met is that Spinel happened to meet Pink Pearl during her re-introduction to Homeworld society, developing a crush on her as soon as she sees her. In Human AUs, people like the theme of Spinel being a punk or skater and Pink Pearl having a job as a waitress or being otherwise "prim and proper". High School AUs often have Spinel being a delinquent and Pink Pearl being a popular girl in a clique with the other Pearls (except Pearl).

This pairing continued to be the most popular pairing for Pink Pearl following an episode of Steven Universe Future that launched the VolleyPearl ship. On AO3, Spinearl is the most written ship for Pink Pearl and the second most written for Spinel.
