Yeah, this theory was actually something that came to my mind after today and yesterday's episodes.
The revelation that Jasper once belonged to Pink Diamond makes it seem like all her followers (Rose, Jasper, and rubies. Also maybe the Carnelian mentioned in "Beta".) were soldiers, Pearl being the sole exception because, well, she's a Pearl. She ruled over pink, red, and orange gems.
Yellow Diamond's gems, Peridot and presumably Centipeetle, were an engineer and a captain of a ship, respectively. Assuming Nephrite isn't Centipeetle, than you also have a pilot. Seems like all gems made for her are more intellectual/worker-class gems. Yellow Pearl being the exception, of course. She rules over yellow and green gems
Blue Diamond's gems were Sapphire and Lapis. They're the only gems we've seen that have dresses in their base form, rather than the common Homeworld uniform that Jasper/Peridot/Rubies share. Sapphire was a seer, and Lapis seemed to be a gem of at least semi-important status (her seemingly being in Blue Diamond's court + "Did you even wonder who I used to be!?"). Her gems may be aristocrats, thinkers/philosophers, and nobles on Homeworld. She ruled over teal, blue, and indigo gems. Blue Pearl is an exception obvsly.
White Diamond stays an enigma, but she may oversee all the operations of Homeworld, given that 1) her diamond is placed highest on the Diamond Authority symbol 2) white/clear diamonds are the most iconic/commonly represented in media and 3) Light, or "white", is necessary to see colors at all. Without her overseeing, the Diamond Authority would be chaotic. She rules over all of Homeworld and Gemkind, although white, grey, and black gems may follow her directly.
The only ones that are sticking out here are Amethyst and Bismuth. Since Amethyst is purple and was meant to be a soldier, it could be that Pink Diamond also used to rules over purple gems as well. Bismuth crystals commonly come in rainbow, but can also be varying amounts of metallic blue, yellow, and/or grey. She may be one of the few universal gems.
yikes, I kinda droned on there for a bit, but it's fun to think about.

Part of me thinks that gem color doesn't really matter expect for like higher ups. Rubies seem to be for everyone. As do Quartz since BD had some at her courst as body guards. Even some of the "fancier" gems looked to be different colors than blues if I remember correctly.
The fact that White Diamond is the only one not mentioned by name slays me. Queen of mystery.

I agree that each diamond rules according to function but I'm not sure if that extends to their colour scheme. Just because it'd be a bit of a pain writing wise since they'd kinda be writing themselves into a corner. I think they rules over gems according to their purpose pre PD shattering.
I say that mainly because Rubies were referred to as 'common soldier gems' during The Answer. So they were probably universal. Quartz' were probably parcelled off just so that the diamonds would have some muscle. But I can definitely imagine that the majority were under PD's control. Maybe she's the one that assigned them out as guards to the different diamond's dominions but has the strong hold with numbers.
I definitely think that WD is the overall ruler though. I think another hint to that is in the murals. She has the most circles around her (which seem to indicate the number of plants under each diamonds control). Also the one between her hands was glowing white, which possibly suggests that she's the one who holds homeworld.
Also supporting that is the theory that our Pearl used to belong to WD and seems to have spent a lot of her life on HW (which is why she seems to miss it more than Garnet and was warned about not being able to return by Rose). Also Peridot saying she seemed like an 'fancy one' which probably means she's extra special compared to the other Pearls that Peri has seen. Also her first silhouette while reforming kinda looks like the hair from the mural for WD.
Once PD was shattered they spread around her gems (we have confirmation that Jasper was reassigned to YD) which probably blurred the lines more.
I think it'll be quite interesting to find out what exactly was Lapis' function was since her abilities are so random.
What do you guys think Lapis' job was? I tend to think she was a historian just because of her ability to show memories. Maybe her job was to travel and collect data about the colonies? That would explain her flight ability.
The water manipulation in itself is kinda random though, it doesn't really fit into any job role that seems necessary for gem kind.

Most theories I've read seem to believe that Lapis was supposed to be some sort of spreader of news, either as a messenger or as a historian. Her flight abilities and mirror projections seem to support that strongly. A lot of people initially thought she was a terraformer because of her water powers, but I think that may just be a random ability that Lapis Lazulis are made with, like how Rubies have fire/heat powers and Sapphire has ice/cold powers.
While I'm not too sure on the color part of the theory, it doesn't have too much going against it at this point. It'll probably be disproven at some point, but for now I still believe it may have some relevance. As for the Rubies in "The Answer", my guess is that the flashback took place after Pink Diamond's death, but before the gems that followed her were integrated and split between the other 3 diamonds, which explains why they have no diamond on their outfits. Post-Rebellion, Era-2 Rubies were produced and made with a diamond signifying who they were made for somewhere on their uniform, and at some point Era-1 Rubies and followers of Pink Diamond changed the color of their diamond to match their new leaders (whether this was done by long term shapeshifting, or a mass poofing, idk)

Ya bubbled was a let down. Only the last few minutes were the only interesting parts, just why rose shattered PD. WHICH was sorta obvious.

Bubbled was meh, but I knew it would be. I don't really like the Rubies and an episode having to deal with the most annoying one to appear on screen was going to be boring to me.
We have two episodes left and then weekly from then on. I just know it's going to be how every early season episodes are and we'll have to deal with a bunch of filler beach city nonsense and I just wanna cut to the plot quickly!

The episode was trash. At least the last three minutes were cute, but still trash. Even the filler episodes were way better.
Well, at least The Kindergarten Kid seems ok.

I loved Bubbled sorrynotsorry
Even though it was not the best, I felt like it was the best way to end the season.

The full Kindergarten Kid leaked, lol. It was cute, and a great homage to the Roadrunner.
They might as well leak Know Your Fusion at this point.

I can't believe y'all didn't like "Bubbled".  Sure, it wasn't as action packed or hype as "Jailbreak", but it was amazing in its own right. I love how Steven has always had this internal struggle with whether he could ever become as great a person as his mother was, since all everyone used to do was paint her as this perfect, loving figure who loved all life no matter what. But with all the things coming to light recently, like her shattering Pink Diamond, or bubbling Bismuth away and lying about it, or Peridot pointing out that the Rebellion was for the most part a failure, this conflict must only be getting worse for Steven. In his eyes, he probably still thinks everyone wants him to be his mother, but he doesn't want to be her. He wants to be something better, but at the same time, does he really think what he'd do is better than what his mom actually did? I can't wait to see this get developed even more throughout the series.
And the use of "Love Like You" at the end  ****, this episode was so good.

I mean, Bubbled would have been much better if something relevant had happened for the first 8 minutes, like Eyeball spilling tea on Pink Diamond. Now we won't probably heard of her again until 20 episodes later about Beach City's locals.
