Ok, but. What about the theory that Bismuth created the mirror? In the brief flashback, someone who looks like Bismuth is the one that poofs Lapis. And we know she created all kinds of things during the war, some of which might be morally questionable.
Aaaanyway. The question is, would that not make Seaglass sort of related to Bismuth if she was the creator of the mirror?
It's an interesting theory! Though I don't believe it quite fits.
Bismuth was a builder of architecture in her previous Homeworld life, and after she joined Rose, she made weapons. She was specifically shown having a preference for forging. I don't really think making mirrors was something she was interested in.
But of course, it COULD be possible for Bismuth to make the mirror as a one off..... except that Lapis was specifically picked up as a poofed gem and placed into it by Homeworld gems.
They were the ones who questioned her about Rose. They presumably made that mirror for very specific interrogation purposes. I doubt Bismuth would make a mirror, only to coincidentally drop it and have it fall into Homeworld hands.
Then again... what do I know? There's always room for a 'what if?' theory. :)

Hey Duck,
I adore your writing, especially the Star Holder stuff. I was wondering how the Gods may act if someone were to give them a rock and say "I want to give you the whole world, but all I can give you is this rock"? I'm sure some would just melt :3
Keep up the fantastic work. Take breaks when you need it. Stay hydrated and healthy.
Hello!
This was a cute idea, so I'm going to write short little blurbs of their reactions! For the sake of these blurbs, we are NOT the Star Holder.
Sun:
You presented the radiant god with a small, shiny stone you found in the garden. He paused, looking at the stone upon his desk with interest. The quills scribbling away all around him slowed.
"What's this now?" Sun's brow furrowed as he lifted the rock up. It seemed so much smaller in his hands than it had in yours.
"It's a rock," you smiled, but you couldn't fight the nervous blush on your face. "I want to give you the world, but I can't. So I hope this rock will do." You fidgeted.
Sun's soft rays glowed so bright you had to shut your eyes. And then he laughed. A warm, unfettered laugh that echoed around the office and shook the walls a little. When the light was dim enough for you to peek, he was getting up from his desk. You watched as he tucked the stone into his pocket for making his way around the large desk towards you.
"Come on, sunspot," he offered you his hand, "let's go have a snack."
Moon:
The soft sound of pages turning filled the library. You didn't even know the Luna temple HAD a library, but here you were. And seated on a bench, nose-deep in a book, was the moon god.
"Psst," you waved to him as you approached, "may I sit there?"
Glancing up from his book, Moon realized you were asking to sit beside him. Moon had seen you around the temple many times and though he wasn't the best with expressing his feelings, he rather liked having you around. Nodding, he patted the bench beside him.
Taking a seat beside him, you peered at the book in his lap.
"What are you reading?"
"Some philosophy from the East. They have fascinating customs." Moon looked at you curiously, "were you looking for me?"
Mustering your courage, you presented Moon with the beautiful hunk of carnelian you'd found while shopping the other day.
"I wanted to give you the world," you joked, "but all I could find was this rock."
"It's a not just a rock," Moon's silvery claws brushed across your palm lightly as he took the carnelian from you, "carnelian. Very lovely." He turned the stone over in his hands.
There was a pause.
"Oh." Moon's eyes glowed brighter as he realized what you'd said. He chuckled, tucking the carnelian into his bag.
"Thank you," he smiled, "...would you like to read with me?" He scooted closer, allowing you a better look at the book.
Pluto:
When you placed the strange rock you'd found along the mountain trail into Pluto's hands, her eyes lit.
"Oh, it looks like a little bird!" She grinned, showing off that cute gap in her teeth. "Thank you, buttercup! But what's this for?" She held the little rock to her chest.
"Well," you laughed before you could even deliver your silly pick-up line. "I wanted to give you the world, but all I had was this rock."
Pluto lit up light a Christmas Tree. Her snorty laugh echoed around the forge, as she hid her blushing face in her hands.
"That's so sweet," she peeked at you, "thank you very much." Setting the rock on a high shelf, she turned back to you.
"Alright, little flower," she smiled, "why don't you sit? I'll make tea."
Lunar:
A rock. A very strange rock. Lunar took the rock from your hands and held it up to the light coming through the window.
"Whoa, it's all... rainbow-y," he tilted his head, noting the strange cube-like structure. The way it was weirdly hollow. Lunar seemed transfixed by the small bit of bismuth. You grinned.
"You like it?"
"I do," he nodded, "it's weird! Funky!" He balanced it on the tip of his finger, offering it back to you.
"Oh, it's for you," your grin stretched, "see, I wanted to give you the world, but all I had was this rock."
Lunar's eyes widened. He grinned wider.
"Silly! I already have the world," he propped his chin in his hand, "as long as you're here."
Eclipse:
The parlor was silent. Eclipse stirred honey into his tea, a serene smile on his face.
"How have you been, dear?" He glanced across the table at you. You shifted in your chair.
Okay. This went a lot smoother in your head. You were quickly realizing you were NOT smooth, not in the presence of this mountainous god.
"Oh, I've been good!" You smiled, looking into your tea, "and you?"
"I'm always well when you're here, darling," Eclipse sipped his tea.
How were you supposed to compete with that?
"Actually, I uh, brought you a gift," you opened your bag and sifted through for the small velvet pouch.
"You didn't need to do that," Eclipse set his cup down, "your presence is gift enough for me."
"I-I know, but I..." You set the little red bag on the table. "I thought you would like it."
Curiously, Eclipse plucked up the pouch with one of his lower hands. He carefully untied the ribbon, not wanting to tear the precious pouch with his long claws.
And once the velvet fell free, Eclipse's amber eyes widened.
A delicate chunk of obsidian. It shone in the light of Eclipse's rays as they grew brighter and brighter.
"Darling..." He looked at you.
"I um." You laughed nervously, "I wanted to bring you the world, but this was the best I could do."
Eclipse smiled, rays growing ever brighter.
"Oh, darling. I don't need the world," he stood, setting the obsidian down carefully.
Your whole face flushed as the god of darkness knelt beside your chair. He tenderly took up your hands.
"I would be happy just to have you here with me."
.
I hope you enjoyed these fun little blurbs! I love writing fluff, oof.
