Amethyst comes home in her Lars form

Part 1

[Image Description: six digital drawings making up a Steven Universe comic.

It starts in a green gray color as Amethyst enters, Pearl is sitting at a table on her phone. She greets her excitedly, but cuts off her greeting, "Oh, Amethyst! Good! You're-"

Amethyst slams the door shut as Pearl realizes her new form looks like Lars, finishing her greeting in shock, "...back."

The tone shifts to purple and Amethyst, with arms crossed, angrily demands, "What are you staring at?"

Pearl stands up stiffly and sweating, "Nothing! Y... You just look... familars-"

Realizing her blunder, Pearl corrects herself as she sweats even more profusely, "DIFFERENT! I meant different!"

A Single Pale Rose: Pearl’s Most Powerful Scene In All of Steven Universe

Pearl’s literal revelation to Steven about what actually happened in that fateful Gem war many years ago is easily one of her strongest moments, regarding this character’s heavy backstory. Steven Universe, throughout its five seasons, has been building up for awhile that Pearl knows more than she is able to let on about Rose and Pink Diamond’s implied “shattering”. Each time Pearl has tried to speak that painful truth to Steven, her hands forcefully covered her mouth. It’s pretty clear that she wanted to tell not just Steven, but the other Crystal Gems for a long time about what occurred in that tragedy of their war for protecting Earth from the Diamonds, but Pearl didn’t know how to go about bypassing her direct order given on that day by Pink Diamond, herself, to keep everything about this big plan of their’s a secret forever from everyone, including those who were closest to them in trusting.

Pearl, you have to tell me what’s wrong.

This hand gesture not only works as excellent foreshadowing of Pearl’s secret with Pink Diamond, but it’s brilliant symbolism of her PTSD from the Gem war. Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst tried to save the corrupted Gems who had their original forms destroyed by the Diamonds powerful attack on all of Earth, but weren’t able to reverse what they thought was permanent damage at the time, so they were in a sense “dead”. It’s already bad enough Pearl can’t discuss about happened, but now she has all those Gems’ blood on her conscious, due to going through with Pink Diamond’s fake shattering idea. Pearl wanted to help protect the Earth, but in ironic tragedy ended up with screwing over many Gems from being able to live a normal life, stuck in a painful state of existing all because she wanted to make her Diamond happy and be loved by her strongly, too. Like, if that isn’t the most crushing way to bring down Pearl’s self-esteem, by being hit with this curve ball then I don’t know what the actual Hell is. Then you got the cherry on top where Pearl gets a serious reality check that Pink Diamond, or rather Rose now, forming a powerful romantic connection with Greg makes her realize that her love is extremely one sided to Rose. Pearl had a condescending attitude toward Greg trying to be in love with her Diamond, considering he didn’t have it in his natural design to fuse, which is known by Gems to be the ultimate form of loving someone they care strongly about. However, after seeing how Rose was willing to better adapt/understand Greg’s humanity rather than just laugh it off was a serious wake up call for Pearl, where she had to reflect on her relationship with Pink Diamond in general.

I think he’s her favorite, too.

This huge twist with Pink Diamond being Rose all along adds so much great depth to both Rose and Pearl’s characterization. Throughout a good chunk of the series run time Rose is at first made out to be this beautiful individual, who’s incapable of doing any real harm to anyone, but as things progress further down this rabbit hole, it’s perfectly clear that Rose was nowhere near that messiah others previously thought her to be. Granted, Pink Diamond definitely made the right call in separating herself from the extremely abusive and dangerous environment of the other Diamond, but there were serious consequences in faking her own death, so she could live a normal life. Also, it’s pretty fucked up in hindsight to keep one of your own subjects from speaking the truth to others who were close to you, as well, in the mission to preserve all living things on Earth. Pink could’ve definitely gone about handling that particular idea better with who should know the truth about her plan, instead of just telling Pearl in so many words, “No one can know, not even our other comrades. Only you can carry this truth.”. That’s exactly why I love this scene so much because of how it greatly humanizes the concept of Rose’s presence in the story.

This shot of Pink’s face carries so much of her emotional trauma she suffered from the other Diamonds who greatly abused her. Pink was so afraid of being dragged back to Homeworld for greater punishment, if caught red handed, that she only confided in Pearl, who’s original purpose was to follow any command by their superiors, since Pink couldn’t stand the thought of going back to that severely toxic lifestyle ever again. It’s understandable why Pink took this approach, but it resulted in Pearl getting scarred greatly by these intense events because she had to attack someone Pearl loved with every fiber of her being. Not to mention, the fate of other Gems who greatly suffered by the Diamond’s malicious attack after they thought Pink was shattered by Rose. Pearl has had to carry all this guilt for many years and couldn’t tell a single soul about it. Gosh, if there was any way to get me in feeling more sympathy for Pearl, this was the best way to go about executing that idea, overall. Really puts a particular line in perspective from Season 1′s episode, Rose’s Scabbard.

But not from me! I was the one she told everything!

Pearl didn’t feel so worthless anymore after Pink encouraged her to be unique and not some lifeless door mat, who follows any order given to them. Rose turning out to be Pink adds a massive gut punch context to this episode’s plot line. Pearl wasn’t saying that to be a know it all suck up, as Pink trusted her most out of all the other Gem’s she interacted with. Makes it all the more heartbreaking for Pearl having to humble herself in her relationship with Pink Diamond, since even after having to help fake her shattering, Pink still wasn’t entirely honest with Pearl. Pearl already sits on a big mountain of insecurities from her life, so to be hit upside the head with yet another big revelation about Pink’s actions has to cut real deep for her. Hands down, A Single Pale Rose contains my favorite Pearl moment, which adds a heavier context to episodes that focus on her chemistry with Rose and is just an all around wonderfully crafted dramatic episode of big revelations for Steven’s conflict of better understanding who his mother was as a person. It’s a seriously emotionally mesmerizing scene that never fails to get me heavily invested on what’s happening and the implications of it all. The music, animation, and voice acting just all click together spectacularly here, creating what is my top highlight from all of Season 5′s episodes. The payoff for all the character build up and foreshadowing worked out quite well in the end.

A Single Pale Rose made Pearl my favorite of the Crystal Gems with the new added context it gave to her PTSD from the Gem War and serious inferiority complex. Pearl is by far the most explored in this series with how she tries to be the most knowledge and confident with skills, but has serious issues with accepting change when challenged by what she perceives as “correct”, making her seriously doubt her own self-worth to the team’s dynamic, overall. I strongly relate to Pearl in feeling inferior and trying to contribute something of value to feel special, while feeling like I have to work harder for it, too. No question, she’s my favorite of the group with Amethyst and Lapis being a strong second in that regard.

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

[jimboscribs]

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

Day 1: Backpack.

I wish I could say I'll draw these regularly, but the reality is this is probably the only prompt I'll draw this year. My work ethic is non-existent ( ﾟ⁠∀ﾟ⁠)

This was fun, tho!

[jimboscribs]

The thing that gets me about Padparadscha is that she was shunned because homeworld gems thought her predictions were useless, but she isn't useless. She predicts that Lars was pressing the wrong button after he'd done it, but before anyone else figured it out. She has visions of things that already happened but that other people are unaware of, but the homeworld gems just dismissed her because her ability didn't fit into their conventional standards
