There has been a lot of hate for Pearl in today’s episode, but let’s just get some clarity on the situation.
“Some lost, defective Pearl.” Jasper said this in “The Return,” and unfortunately, it was an accurate statement.
Pearl is not a Gem that was ever built for combat. She took to the sword for Rose and Rose alone. She didn’t care about the planet or even her own existence. All she wanted was for Rose to be safe. She would do anything for the Gem that made her feel like she was everything.
I’m not saying this kind of devotion is healthy, but I think that’s the point. Pearl is lost without Rose. She was considered defective by her fellow Gems when she decided to fight and she is still considered defective.
We saw in today’s episode, that Rose has had many other human “phases,” and I’m sure that Pearl was agonizing with each one.
With the appearance of Greg, Pearl is forced to watch as Rose slowly slips through her fingers and connects with humans in a way Pearl doesn’t want to understand.
After all, Pearl didn’t fight for the humans. She didn’t care about their planet. Rose was her entire reason for protecting earth.
Greg says its torture to love someone, and at that moment, I’m sure no one understood that better than Pearl.
Sure she was mean to Greg, but in doing so, she was masking her panic, her pain, and trying to convince herself that Greg was just another phase.
So cut Pearl a little slack guys, she’s hurting too.
“Everything I ever did, I did for her. Now she’s gone…but I’m still here.”
pearl is havin some of the best character development so far and im like super stoked about it
In the first picture, Pearl says, “Why are they still dancing, it didn’t work?” And Garnet replies with, “Yes it did.” I think Garnet not only saw an outcome of Greg and Rose’s relationship, she literally saw the future.
Which is why she was so stoic from earlier. She saw the outcome of the relationship, and she saw what was going to come of it, but Rose was like a child to all this. If she’d told Greg and Rose, Rose would’ve either shunned Greg away, like in Story For Steven, or she would’ve taken the risk anyway.
So when Garnet said the fusion worked, she saw Steven. She saw a successful fusion between a Gem, and a Human.
That’s cool, I have a collection myself. I’m absolutely drowning in rose quartz.
However, please don’t be careless. In particular, please don’t be careless with malachite and lapis lazuli. Both stones are soluble in water, and water with dissolved malachite or lapis lazuli in it is VERY VERY VERY TOXIC. Keep all malachite and lapis lazuli specimens away from pets and small children, and only get polished specimens if you can help it.
This has been a psa.
And DONT bathe with them either
I’ve read in some crystal healing books sometimes to get more connected with your stones to drink a glass of water with your stone at the bottom DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED STONES
listen as a former christian i have all the cheat codes for you man if some bible-wielding bigot wants to give you trouble just remember these
God pretty much invalidates the gender binary with Galatians 3:28: “there is neither male nor female”
1 Corinthians Chapter 7 is literally just talking about how God favors asexuals bc they’re more like him (and like, if you absolutely have to have sex, make sure it’s consensual)
In Matthew 19:12, Jesus (albeit vaguely) talks about accepting trans people
Jesus speaks out again ableism literally every five seconds pick up a Bible and flip to somewhere in the new testament and I promise you there will be something about it.
Also Jesus dying on the cross overrides all the rules established in Leviticus, which is pretty much the only instance of anti-lgbt sentiment in the whole book
and that’s the gospel truth
even like leviticus, a lot of people translate that whole “man lies with another man” as actually something closer to “do not lie with another man IN THE BED OF A WOMAN,” which is less anti-lgbt and more anti-being-a-fucking-dick
In Matthew 19:11-12, Jesus says that not all men are are made to marry women. Some men are uninterested in women from birth, some are made uninterested by other men, and some men become uninterested by their own vows to church. Then Jesus urges acceptance.
