Im curious if they might give her Susan Egan's voice, and/or name her Susan/Susie in reference to Rose's voice.

Also, if they decide to keep her around, I'm curious if they will use it as a way to visit the idea of "Parent has been single for a long time after other parent died, so its time to start dating! How will the kid react?" Knowing how much Rose and Pearl meant to each other, there might be some complicated feelings about her moving on to another girl who is similar. Or they could subvert it and have Steven be totally supportive, considering he hates seeing birdmom so sad

I think Steven will be fully supportive. He's seen firsthand how badly Pearl has been unable to let go; as he said, she did almost let him die over it. Bird Mom finally moving on would be a relief.

Also, I think Pearl will at some point realize the irony of her falling in love with a human, just like she hated happened with Rose.

That episode was amazing. I couldn't believe they showed Pearl driving dangerously, breaking the law and getting away with it. Super enjoyable though.


Meanwhile I just joined the SU train a few weeks back after binging the entire series. Can I buy Garnet's song anywhere?

It's going to get super weird when she gives her Rose's dress and sword and tries to teach her how to command others in battle.

"That's it, S! Tell me how to defeat the corrupted gem!"
"I...don't know? I'm a loan officer!"
"No, you taught me we could be whatever we choose to be!"

I'm kinda hoping pearl's relationship explodes in flames because she's basically using pearlfriend as a replacement gold-fish and also because she refuses to 'lower' herself to doing human stuff the majority of the time which is very much expected of you when you're literally dating a human.

No, but you can get it free on the Soundcloud of Aivi and Surasshu. (who do most of the music for the show)

She's actually trying to break out of her shell and try human stuff for a change why are you wishing for a cool queer relationship that doesn't even exist yet to implode you jerk :mad:

Queer people can have good and happy things happen in their lives. It doesn't all have to be cosmic irony and terrible sadness for Pearl.

I hope mystery girl and pearl forge a friendship through times of good and bad. Maybe mystery girl is like 'oh wait i look like your ex??' and that's dramatic, then pearl is like 'i'm trying new things and it's hard sometimes' and then they remain good friends. I hope she's recurring because it'd be nice for humans to still be interesting to the gems.

I'm not sure if you really understand Pearl's role on the show. :colbert:

In all seriousness though, I doubt Pearl will project that much onto Mystery Girl but I'd say the odds of her accidentally referring to MG as "Rose" at some point or another are about 80%.

I hope Mystery Girl becomes a recurring support character next season, so we can see her reactions to things like:
  • Pearl's tiny middle-schooler swordfighting protege who battles monsters 8x her size
  • The flying island where Pearl teaches Connie how to kill
  • Stevonnie
  • Amethyst's Room
  • The guy from those burger commercials

S. and Rose aren't exact clones of each other, Pearl is just into big girls giant women with pink hair.
Also I get the impression that a lot of any future exposure to mystery girl will be second-hand, and they'll run with her not really speaking on-screen at all.

It's set up so that it can develop off screen through flirty texts at whatever pace they want but I don't think they would do that and not have any intention of giving her any screen time. Ruby and Sapphire aren't enough to satisfy this show's quota of girls laughing and being blushy.

I just realized something about Bad Pearl.

Those clothes weren't illusions, which means Pearl has just had a Bad Pearl outfit in storage for like potentially 30+ years.

And it they do go down that route, then she's at least going to have to face the awkwardness of when Steven says that she looks almost like the mom he never knew.

That or actually queer people can't have good and happy things happen in their lives till they base them on healthy life choices~

Like that one guy said, I can't wait to see her react to the bit where Pearl is training a little girl to use a sword or the part where they have thousands of gems in their basement.

Setting up a lesbian relationship for the express purpose of failing and generating drama at a queer woman's expense is lovely, lowbrow queerbaiting and is so far below this show's standards that I am legitimately a little offended by you suggesting that would be a good or worthwhile plotline. :frogout:

I mean you took it to the gay place, I'm just sayin' pearl is clearly not over the last relationship and also is in a lovely place to start a new one since rose died like, last year, in gemological terms. Its a lot of baggage to bring into a relationship upfront.

We're all rooting for Weeping Egg Cup, I don't think anyone here isn't, but the show is called Crying Breakfast Friends. I think we can all expect some degree of drama-friction between Weeping Egg Cup and Aloof Mystery Spoon and it'll get resolved after 11 minutes or so.

Well what I'm sayin' is that in any relationship, homosexual or otherwise, pearl is frontloading the drama and her sadbrains are gonna get her in trouble again because she has the emotional skill and social dexterity of a clawhammer covered in boiling tar (despite being one of the longest living gems on earth she still sucks compared to Garnet and Amethyst (and Peridot and Lapis at this rate)) and that when it invariably fails I am going to laugh at the pain and suffering which is why I watch this show in the first place.
