Actually. Re the su post tags. I think pearl was holding it together rather well, really. Some seriously remarkable and commendable composure. We really only see a few instances of it slipping through, and it only turns into a true break in composure when someone presses her on it. If I were her I really dont think I could bear to see the guy that took my best and first and only (for a really long time) friend away from me. Yes it was roses decision, but greg was the catalyst that allowed it to happen at all. I think I would be really resentful, even if I didn't want to be. I certainly could never be the guys friend.

Dude and the implication of pearl possibly getting with a human????? (barring the possibility of the pink pearl that mightve had that subtext? Unsure. There was a fairly long stretch where pearl was shown getting a bunch of humans numbers. And the pink haired girl episode especially) she is never gonna be able to have that crazy lengthy history she had with rose with any human. They just don't live long enough. That's so little time in comparison. It would just be potential after potential after potential. A brief time of attachment and they're gone, and she'd still be there. Again!! It'd be rose over and over and over. I think I'd go bonkers!!!

Anyways su was ok and I'm not into it anymore but some of the character stuff has really stuck with me.

#watching its over isnt it over and over and when greg gets up and leaves feeling a sense of vindication.#like yes old man feel bad!!!! you ignored pearls feelings in favor of your own!!! ignored what she had to say!!!#and the episode has the audacity to end with the implication that “they both loved rose and they both miss her”#at much different intensities buddy!!!!!#i really just saw it as proof of how much she cares. whereas others took it as a peek into some hidden hatred.#come on!!!!#i dont actually want greg to feel bad bc with him and rose it was mutual but hey!!#he literally saw rose and pearl looking like they had a mutual thing too!!#and still went for it!!!#selfish jerk tbh!!!!#i dont hate him. but i really really did not like when he did that. and i wish the show pointed it out.#instead of the wishy washy ohhhh they both miss her theyre so alike actually #wrong. ok???#anyways my favs were pearl and peridot #peridot bc she was so methodical in her manner of figuring things out and taking things literally and fighting preconceptions #and bc she was smart #and pearl bc. guestures to the above. yeah. and bc she was kind and smart and caring.#everyone treated her snapping as a gotcha moment. a terrible personal quality hidden away. but i saw it as more of an enevitability.#and not a personal failing. a direct effect of outside forces pressing on a volatile subject. of course shes gonna flip out over that.#no one else seems to care anymore except her. they all got over it. why cant she? they let it go so fast.#its not a bad thing to love someone that much. frankly id be worried if someone wasnt destitute for ages after.#i took any snap as proof of how much she cared. whereas it seemed some people thought it revealed some hidden hatred.#she was clearly trying so so so hard to understand and be kind. and she did end up caring about steven and even greg in a way!#anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk.#the theme of devoting your life to somebody else...yeag 👍
