Though if there happens to be a character arc with a lot of signing and/or crying where she grows some more, that could be cool.

[Something about pearls growing layers that sounds cool]

What a truly great episode.

Good episode. Might be the only way to raise the gay levels.

It turns out that Lars was an angry butch lesbian the whole time and everyone just assumed she was a dude.

I have made it gayer, captain.

I think Pearl and S will realize they both want different things out of a romantic relationship and thus aren't compatible, and then remain friends because they like spending time together.

Tbf, i'm not sure labels like "gay" or "queer" can really apply, given the fact that the norm with gems for romantic attraction seems to be same-gender (or gender-presentation or whatever you want to call it). If anything, Rose seems to have been in the minority in liking dudes.

Which I think is a really cool kind of juxtaposition.

(that said, Pearl clearly likes chicks and guys don't seem to do anything for her, so~)

Pearl has enough tragic queer backstory going on. She deserves some happiness. And sure maybe there will be some drama over certain aspects of Pearls past that they'll have to work through but they can work it out.

If i could take us back a week i think it's interesting that it was hard for people to see a character that was sad but (probably) not gay. Also british for some reason?? Also yeah, i was really happy to see a Pearl focused episode that was forward looking and positive.... kinda. She's kind of made following rose quartz part of her character so i guess moving past it involves dealing with that. I just want her to be not sad :ohdear:

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:

Okay, but, it doesn't have to be dramatic. Sometimes things just don't click and that's fine. Maybe Pearl and S will go on a date and realize "Wow, even though we're both attracted to each other physically we really don't have that much in common" and then both go on to date different women.

You don't have to enter a long term relationship with every person you get a crush; and if things don't work out with S that doesn't mean Pearl has to give up on finding a new girlfriend.

It could also work out for them but with some good natural bumps in the road too. The best Ruby/Sapphire episodes have been the ones where their relationship is shown to not always be perfect, but they make it work.

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

She probably tried to copy the look of Greg or his friends to get Rose's attention at some point.

I don't really want Pearl's or anyone's relationship to explode into flames but honestly I think that's the #1 most important message about relationships that this show hasn't touched on that much. Sometimes both people want it to work out and neither is abusive or dishonest but things just fall apart anyway. People drift apart and life circumstances change but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with one party or the other.

Not every relationship is destined to be the only one you're a part of, and that's the sort of thinking that can lead people TO abusive relationships. Recognizing when things aren't working is one of the toughest calls anyone can make but it's also one of the most common and important ones.

I don't desire for Pearl to be unhappy, but they could use S to point out that infatuation doesn't always meander directly into True Love. And that's okay too.

They touched on that one episode ago with Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny. Yes this is an important message but there's no reason whatsoever it has to be Pearl who's used to demonstrate this.

Now are you actually seriously suggesting that episode had the emotional weight to pull the entire message or are you just sad because your favorite cartoon character might have an imaginary bad thing happen. And either way, why are you so pathetic?
