#Also it helps that it’s WlW and not… you know comparing a MlF ship where the man hurt a woman to a WlW pairing but that’s just me.

Sea Fairy and Pearl are the same coin but different sides. Pearl was never betrayed by Seaf, she believed it was Seaf who allowed them to be saved on that fateful day (which is true, Seaf ascended when called for), and it was her desire to be like Seaf that drew her to absorbing the Pearl and becoming Black Pearl.

Loyster isn’t sea fairy or moonlight cause he fundamentally lacked a level of awareness and respect for pearl that exists between the pure form of love shared between the sea and the moon, they used the analogy cause it’s a popular form of love language in the CR world. But Pearl knew it didn’t match what they had by the end…

Black Pearl is bitter towards everyone, likely including Seaf. That doesn’t mean she betrayed her or hurt her like Loyster did. It means Pearl is hurting and is externalizing this pain in ways that hurts herself and others.

If there’s any ship that is a SeaMoon allegory, it’s FrilledPearl. As Black Pearl has become the sea, never able to reach the light she longs for. And Frilled is the light that never goes out as the level title said— even without her memories she loves her.
