I have a feeling that Aubergine pearl is still wearing dance clothes, just a more mature, toned down version indicative of a dance instructor rather than a practicing ballerina.
Yeah sure pearl not like you were obsessed with her for like 5 seasons and a movie or something and FINALLY said that she was still making excuses for her lol
All Pearls are supposed to be made to be attracted to the Gems we were made for, in an attempt to make us fall more into an “I’ll do anything for you!” mentality.

Megan Reyes she’s not “OUR” pearl. She’s her own pearl. We should call her rainbow pearl since she seems to wear all the diamonds’ colors in her original costume.
I find it interesting how pearls seem to be the only 'organic' gem, and are thus seen as a luxury. In a world where all they do is conquer and consume, something as finite and useless as the formation of a pearl is the ultimate symbol of status
You know what truly ironic, diamonds are pure carbon, the main component of organic life, there is even a process where you can take your ashes when you die and make them into a diamond. Also there's amber which is a tree resin that forms into gems which are also organic, shame we never saw one, if they even exist.
I always liked how diamonds owned pearls, since the two are almost always grouped together in the same sayings for whatever reason (i.e. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, "he likes my diamonds and my pearls" by Tierra Whack, and "Diamonds and Pearls" by Prince)
@@kriscarr4929 I think it's similar to how Ruby and Sapphire are the two gems who make up Garnet. Rubies and Sapphires are also often placed together in the same groups like that :)
Good point in the song ‘the other girl’ by kelsea ballerini and halsey one of the lyrics in the chorus is “who’s the diamond who’s the pearl” which i think of as who would you promise to(diamond) and who would u give a gift to satisfy(pearl). If u think about it diamonds are way higher status in the show than pearls, so it makes sense.
Ooooooh that’s so interesting 😍 I also thought the rose/pearl symbolism was also really cool (i.e. rose and pearl from Ghost Quartet, “I wasn’t born for the Rose and the pearl” from wicked)! It’s mostly musical stuff but I thought it was cool

I think a pearl's servant class status is due to the fact that pearls are organic gems. The Gems clearly consider themselves superior to organic life forms, so any organic Gem on Homeworld would be seen as less than all other Gems.
well technically pearls are comprised of aragonite in the real world, i theorise that pearls are not naturally created gems, and are instead manufactured, the process would involve a gem called aragonite, the aragonite's would be created in kindergardens, and then would be pretty much instantly shattered, the shattered aragonites would be reformed into the shape of a pearl, creating a new gem.

I've always been in love with pearls! I don't know if it's there loyalty, knowledge or sweet demeanor but something about their physique with their cute elongated nose I found appealing and instantly fell in love with! Aside from yellow, who really is it good example of being a representative of they're influencer, I loved them all. I wouldn't want them to be submissive, but encourage them to embrace their individuality.
So I've noticed that both blue and yellow pearl have their gem at the same place as their diamond. Volleyball has hers on her stomach and pink diamond had her gem there too. Does that mean that it is possible for our pearl to have first been made for white? I think that it is possible and then white decided to give her to pink after pink accidentally hurt volleyball.
Our pearl wasn't customized per Pink's specifications like Pink Pearl (and all other known pearls) was. She was likely left un-customized because the other diamonds wanted to avoid Pink becoming attached to her pearl a second time, purely fulfilling the role of an unsentimental servant and nothing more. As for our pearl's gem placement, I suspect that when a pearl's gem placement is not pre-set by the owner, it is just selected at random like for all other gems. but then again who knows lol
I would've love if you would've talked about lonely pearl she's from a Steven universe game named fantom fiable. Please next do the garnets (Hessonite, pyrope and demantoid) or all the quartzes and jaspers 🥺
Fun fact: when u said pink pearl cleanses negative energy when pink diamond was throwing a tantrum she took it off on volleyball and that took away her negative energy from her cause volleyball got took away by white diamond and pearl came in and she didn’t know that pink diamond had negative energy
Actually, Deedee Magno Hall is her voice actor. I believe Deedee just made her voice sound more proper and polished to fit Aubergine pearl lol. So I understand why you thought it was a different voice actor. But I do admire that she sounds different from the rest of the pearls :)
The pearls gemstones aren't necessarily made. Steven asks if the reef is where pearls are made, much like how quartz solders are made in a kindergarten. The actual gemstone is put into the ground of the kindergarten, to make sure of the right placement, cut, depth, etc. Chances are a similar thing happens with pearls. Although I may be completely wrong.
I feel like I would be a blue pearl because I do like to draw, sometimes I can be very very shy like in the mornings and stuff so I think I would be a blue pearl
One of the things I wanted to see if only in the background in SU future was Garet and Rhodonite unfused on a double date. Mega-Pearl's outfit is a shout-out to Revolutionary Girl Utena.
I also realised that the pearls have the same gam position as their diamond, which gives me an idea that maybe Volleyball was Pink Diamond’s original pearl and pearl used to be White Diamond’s pearl, considering the gem position and colour
Just a fun fact, the outfit when fused looks like it's supposed to be an homage to Revolutionary Girl Utena, a shojo manga. They outfit is based off of Utena who rebels and the hair is that of Anthy, who was basically a lady in waiting, and a very depressed character.
We've never seen any other pearl storing things in their gems, but we've seen Peridot doing it, she gets an electric detonator thingy to disable the robots in one of her first appearances. This might be an ability of gems with the stones in their foreheads.
Actually thinking about it those traits that pink pearls are symbolic of fits the character's relationship with Pink Diamond pretty well(except for romance due to pink pearl not being there while the whole thing with Earth and Greg was happening)(some of those can be viewed as being negative ones as well).
It would have been interesting if they showed off a black pearl and tied it to the real life mythology and rarity of them. There is a story about a pearl dealing family that finds a giant black pearl, and initially believe that the wealth and status will make their lives easier, but they just find it complicated their life. Additionally, there are superstitions surrounding whether they found "The Pearl of Heaven" or if they had stolen it from the "Manta Diablo" and will be cursed. (The book is "The Black Pearl" by Scott O'Dell in 1967.)
There is something I find sad about the way Blue and Yellow Pearl kinda immediately ditched their Diamonds after the Authority was abolished. I believe the Diamonds are still the rulers of Gem kind but without the cast system, the pearls felt clearly no desire to serve their diamonds anymore. Ofc the Diamonds weren’t amazing but there is this vibe that the Diamonds are close with their Pearls, besides White ig. Clearly they weren’t as close as we thought since we never really see Blue or Yellow interact with their pearls afterwards.
Nopee she was custom made for pink diamond and a replacement for pink pearl after the eye crack pd tantrum. And rebecca sugar confirmed she was never whites
4:54 In Steven universe there are characters that are pearls, but not every loyal pearl has an owner. Such as rutiles, there is a type of pearl for navigation systems, they are called facility pearls. They have no owner, but are completely loyal. Also yes, she is adorable-
jestermon101, I learned this from a website. Also, it’s put into thought on a game I play. Not all pearls are attendants, there most likely more of a guide
jestermon101, it’s a game on Roblox called “gem galaxies” it’s very well made. It’s not just the website I learned that from, it was the games fandom website. It’s in a different au, but it’s still points out
@@idkhow_either5215 I'm pretty sure Roblox does not count as SU canon. They may have permission to use the world and characters as a setting but given that the Diamonds are changed to Alpha Blue, Omega Red and Delta Green it's clearly not 100% accurate to the official SU universe.
Since the Pearl and Ruby that make up Rhodonite were owned by a Morganite, which is a pink gemstone, I believe the Pearl had a pink coloration. Perhaps the Ruby did too. Pink rubies are really pretty. I should write a story about them...
Look at the positions of the gems on the respective pearls. While it makes sense that Volleyball was Pink Diamond's Pearl, because both have their gems on their lower torso, we could assume that Crystal Gem Pearl was originally White Diamond's Pearl, because both have the gem on their foreheads, and their personalities... match, to some extent. This makes me think that CG Pearl was passed down from White Diamond to Pink Diamond when Volleyball was decomissioned, while the upper Diamond kept the broken Pearl for herself.
My fiance- "Hey, you know those Steven Universe breakdowns you like to watch? I think they just released a new one." Me- "WHAT!?" *quits everything that I'm doing to come find the video* Fiance- "I sent you the link on Facebook." Me- "I LOVE YOOOOOOU!!!!"
Symbolism for pink pearl (special collab with the other pearls) White diamond states "But your light can't help shining through" refering to steven being referred as pink She says this but shuts you down, doesn't give you a chance to speak but when she does she shows to be unphased and indifferent to your words Every pearl is just white pearl but made to be a different color This statement above represents what white diamond truly means when she says "she is every color of the light" not that she is but they depend on her, it's just adding dark or liggt color to create a pearl like yellow and pink being the brightest Even though colored white we can see her features like her pearl placement, her hair and design just with a crack, upon further inspection this is the pearl steven was dreaming of, when he was pink diamond but he was reflecting himself as pink (I have a theory on this relationship between Steven, "Rose", and Pink diamond). We can see it's pink pearl And the comment once again "pearls are just white pearls with color" signifies how the pearls are the easiest to turn. And also the blue pearl part when it says you give this to an emotional person (or whatever this theorist said) which represents the diamond aspect of a pearl and the tranquillity represents blue pearl. She prefers to *_"DRAW"_* in tranquillity. But just like water blue gems are adaptable like you are flipping an on and off switch. Even though lapis took long to accept the crystal gems, he still trusted steven and came back to fight, blue diamond with water powers herself and *_"BLUE GEM OF ALL BLUE GEMS"_* was easier to crack. Ofcourse it was impossible for pink to come back but blue was so accepting that she didn't care and realize. And just like that she started making steven (pink diamond) sad again. This opens up a third theories is that the color of the diamond doesn't corilate to the diamond but it corilates to servants of the diamond or people close, like how pearl fell for pink, pink pearl aswell, yellow pearl just openly admits that her feelings are irrelevant and shuts people down. Blue is sad and solace and white pearl (even though controlled by white) is controlling and makes you stop talking. But like how water is adaptable, blue pearl becomes playful and shows emotion So here are the phases. Water: adaptable * When blue never questioned how pink was back * how blue pearl became more confident, independent and bold Blue: sadness & grief/loneliness Blue diamond: Kept to herself when pink was gone and only confided in pearl because she saw herself in her, more than likely because pearls are based off of their diamond or master Blue pearl: draws in solace And finally friendship Blue diamond: had a strong bond with pink, where she'd go cold to warm in pink's favour, also i believe pink ignited her sometimes, her pink aura makes her feel motherly affection to pink and since blue is the most adaptable she caved first, hints at this is how blue came to steven and connie and not even 10 minutes later helped them escape. But blue's counterpart being yellow, she took longer to understand, longer to join Steven's side and help him escape and how her ship so delayed when white controlled her 😂😂😂 If you want to get the diamonds power on servants theory, the relationship between steven, rose and pink, the white vs black theory or the light theory, please comment and support
Once there was the introduction of the pearls, I was like yup Pearl on Earth belonged to white originally, but was given color motifs from all the diamonds so Pink wouldn’t feel homesick at her planet, further confirmed when when White removed all the color from her original pearl because, pink seemed to respect her as an equal (friend) but that also put her pearl in danger, as she was prone to emotional outbursts, other than the calculated behaviors of the other diamonds especially when interacting with their pearls
I love this video! Especially since Pearls are important in my country, Philippines, we have a lot of jewelry with them especially thanks to the West Philippines Sea, and since our country is know as The Pearl of the Oriental Sea. Plus tbh the pearls coming into their own and being emerged in art totally vibes with us since Filipinos are known for being in the arts and we’ve been enslaved by so many colonizers for more than 400 years.
mega pearl is also a reference to the conjunction of anthy and utena from revolutionary girl utena… in which both girls work to overcome the forces oppressing them by finding camaraderie and support in each other. together, they become free to shape their own future.
I remember when I first saw pink pearl and white Dimond. I looked over at my friend and said "That's pink pearl." He was so pissed that I was trying to theory craft cus I guess Rebecca doesn't like it and I was like "Well she shouldn't have made it obvious. Blue pearl and Yellow Pearl have gem stone placements that match their diamonds. Our pearl is white and her gem stone placement matches White dimonds and white dimonds current pearl matches Stevens gemstone placement." Then he got even more made and told me to drop it. I just told him what ever if she doesn't like it she shouldn't have made the show because people do that no matter what.
anyone also notice that the gems on each pearl are in the same spots as thier diamond overlords? pink pearl in her belly like pink, yellow and blue in thier chests, and pearl (probably white's pearl before volleyball's accident) on her forehead.
I have a theory that Rhodonites pearl piece is the same as the Aubergine Pearl in Future. Their skin tone and hair seem to be very similar. Along with Rhodonites bottom eyes being semi almondish.
I‘d like to mention that the Pink Pearl fusion episode was also clearly a homage to the finale of Utena. Not only does Pink Pearl strongly resemble anthy from uthena, their fusion also looks like a mix between utena and anthy wich are in the last episode basically on the brink of death as Anthy betrayed utena being in denial about her fate and it ends with utena helping anthy break the cycle if abuse and embrace being her own person instead of someone else‘s posession or a punching bag for someone else who wouldn‘t wanna take accountability. The whole episode is very simmilar.
I love the theme song if Giant Pearl, aptly named Prince Pearl. It's a nice play on words they aren't a princess, but a noble young warrior fighting for them selves and for Steven. I dunno, a powerful lady like her bearing the title of Prince just feels fitting to me in a way.
I would love to hear stuff about Emerald! Although she’s only been seen once she’s stuff super interesting and also I just want to hear about my birthstone lol
I have noticed that up until bird moms new formation. all the pearls owned by diamonds have a see through article of clothing, like yellow pearls shoulder things and pink, blue, bird, pearl have the dress things. Even royal pearls collar
You should do all of the uncorrupted gems next! (Bixbite, Watermelon tourmaline [the puffer fish], Cherry quartz, Crazy lace, biggs, and all of the other uncorrupted agates, quartzes, and jaspers that haven't been mentioned yet)
I’ve (re)watched Steven Universe, Avatar the last airbender, Adventure Time, Rock and snotty, and The Owl House. What other really good animated series, current or past, do you recommend, especially those that also resonate with adults?
Also the fact that the position of the pearl corresponds to the position of the diamond aka the owner. Pink pearl has her pearl on her stomach much like pink diamond and blue and yellow pearls also have their pearls on their chest like their owners. But our pearl's pearl is on her head signifying her own head strong journey ahead
They match up very well to their gem's symbolism. Blue is calm but brave enough to speak up, like when she welcomes back Pearl or tells of her interest in art. Yellow is all about being at the top where she can show off her smug cat-face. Volleyball was definitely very gay in a very romantic way
Okay... so it really is unsure of where our Pearl's owner is but I think I got it. If you look at the pearls, their gems are in the same place as their diamond's gems would be. ( example: pink pearl has her gem on her belly just like pink etc. ). So depending on that illustration, Pearl's owner should be... White Diamond. I mean.. her colors aren't off. And that was a theory for many other fans too. It was just SO subtle. Pearl's gem is on her forehead.. just like White. Blue Pearl has her gem on her chest, like Blue. Yellow has her gem on her chest like Blue Pearl. And we talked about Pink Pearl already.
one thing I've noticed is that the pearl's gem location in their body is congruent to the diamond that they served for, well- except for volleyball and pearl that is
You didn't mentioned the process of bleaching pearls and how it could tie in to Volleyball's experience when she was under the control of White Diamond. Most white pearls that are sold have been bleached in some amount to enhance the white color. Bleaching makes them more uniform in color and increases the supply of the more popular white pearl instead of simply settling for the Pearl's original color. The entire process of bleaching the pearls is not for the health of the pearl or anything like that, but instead is a manipulation, changing it according to a specific person's wishes. Volleyball was controlled by White to utilize the resource of the readily available Pearl but was changed to her ideal by being turned white. Some Steven fans have even called the process of White controlling other gems "bleaching." Volleyball was all but literally bleached.
I just noticed something if you pause at this moment in the video 4:45 you can see pearl looking like her pilot design I think I don't actually know the light is too bright, but the hair is her pilot design.
I notice a huge detail Pink diamond's gem in on her stomach and so is volleyball (aka pink pearl) Blue and yellow diamond's gem are on their chest and so is their pearl's Then here's white diamond. Her gem is on her forehead But take a look at OUR pearl her gem is also on her forehead.. This means that our pearl was once white's pearl! (Tw: grammar mistakes)
I think that our Pearl was White diamond's pearl. Because of the placement of her gem. The pearls have their gems placed on the same places as their owners. Pearl has her gem on her forehead, just like White diamond, and the same with the other pearls and diamonds. Just think about it... pink pearl was given to pink before our pearl. Maybe, when pink broke Volleyball, white gave her pearl to pink, it wasn't a problem for W.Diamond because she could control her like we saw on one of the last episodes of SU
It’s depressing that Steven named Pink pearl after an object what’s purpose is to get punched around. Volleyball

So I've noticed that both blue and yellow pearl have their gem at the same place as their diamond. Volleyball has hers on her stomach and pink diamond had her gem there too. Does that mean that it is possible for our pearl to have first been made for white? I think that it is possible and then white decided to give her to pink after pink accidentally hurt volleyball.
But pink pearl said she’s older than our pearl, and white diamond is probably WAY older than pink diamond.
Our pearl wasn't customized per Pink's specifications like Pink Pearl (and all other known pearls) was. She was likely left un-customized because the other diamonds wanted to avoid Pink becoming attached to her pearl a second time, purely fulfilling the role of an unsentimental servant and nothing more. As for our pearl's gem placement, I suspect that when a pearl's gem placement is not pre-set by the owner, it is just selected at random like for all other gems. but then again who knows lol
@@maxparson216so much for not becoming attached to her pearl
When you said, "Pink Pearl has a hard crush, on Pink Diamond" my mind automatically, put them into the label of "A Toxic Romantic Crush''! Yikes!
Is it wered that I ship tham??
@@shishi827 I little yes.
I would've love if you would've talked about lonely pearl she's from a Steven universe game named fantom fiable. Please next do the garnets (Hessonite, pyrope and demantoid) or all the quartzes and jaspers 🥺
@@miguel_tarrio2 you can edit.
Oh yeah her. THAT pearl.
Has there been a video about gem placement symbolism?
Yes, that'd be so cool
Glad you're still doing this series
Yo pearl can I have some apple juice
K Kids …?
Fun fact: when u said pink pearl cleanses negative energy when pink diamond was throwing a tantrum she took it off on volleyball and that took away her negative energy from her cause volleyball got took away by white diamond and pearl came in and she didn’t know that pink diamond had negative energy
I like all the Pearls, but i think my favorite is Mega Pearl (The fusion between Pearl and Volleyball)
...I’m right here...

Can we mention the fact that Aubergine has a different voice actor than the other Pearls?
Actually, Deedee Magno Hall is her voice actor. I believe Deedee just made her voice sound more proper and polished to fit Aubergine pearl lol. So I understand why you thought it was a different voice actor. But I do admire that she sounds different from the rest of the pearls :)
The pearls gemstones aren't necessarily made. Steven asks if the reef is where pearls are made, much like how quartz solders are made in a kindergarten. The actual gemstone is put into the ground of the kindergarten, to make sure of the right placement, cut, depth, etc. Chances are a similar thing happens with pearls. Although I may be completely wrong.
I feel like I would be a blue pearl because I do like to draw, sometimes I can be very very shy like in the mornings and stuff so I think I would be a blue pearl
Honey, you’re welcome to come with us. We can help you fit in.
I still totally ship Yellow Pearl x Blue Pearl
Same
Also Blue and Yellow Diamond ship
They already got married there's was a time where yellow was getting a suit from bismuth and blue was watching her while being very shy
@@dareal_legendario245 I am pretty sure they went to a wedding
Edit: I haven't seen every Steven Universe episode....... maybe in the future I will
@@pokemon_trainer_isaiah dude aren't they like,,,, sisters?
One of the things I wanted to see if only in the background in SU future was Garet and Rhodonite unfused on a double date. Mega-Pearl's outfit is a shout-out to Revolutionary Girl Utena.
I find it funny how Yellow Pearl, the classy, stuck up pearl, OwO’s constantly.
I also realised that the pearls have the same gam position as their diamond, which gives me an idea that maybe Volleyball was Pink Diamond’s original pearl and pearl used to be White Diamond’s pearl, considering the gem position and colour
Actually it’s been confirmed that our pearl was made just for pink not for white
@@TheCaribbeanFlamingoReacts oh-
Just a fun fact, the outfit when fused looks like it's supposed to be an homage to Revolutionary Girl Utena, a shojo manga. They outfit is based off of Utena who rebels and the hair is that of Anthy, who was basically a lady in waiting, and a very depressed character.
Oh, thank you! I was hoping for this.
“But hey, sweat pants are way less depressing when paired with cool graphic T-s!”
*Everyone felt that.*
We've never seen any other pearl storing things in their gems, but we've seen Peridot doing it, she gets an electric detonator thingy to disable the robots in one of her first appearances. This might be an ability of gems with the stones in their foreheads.
Yellow Diamond extending her neck cracks me up every tine
Also what about lonely pearl
Actually thinking about it those traits that pink pearls are symbolic of fits the character's relationship with Pink Diamond pretty well(except for romance due to pink pearl not being there while the whole thing with Earth and Greg was happening)(some of those can be viewed as being negative ones as well).
It would have been interesting if they showed off a black pearl and tied it to the real life mythology and rarity of them. There is a story about a pearl dealing family that finds a giant black pearl, and initially believe that the wealth and status will make their lives easier, but they just find it complicated their life. Additionally, there are superstitions surrounding whether they found "The Pearl of Heaven" or if they had stolen it from the "Manta Diablo" and will be cursed. (The book is "The Black Pearl" by Scott O'Dell in 1967.)
There is something I find sad about the way Blue and Yellow Pearl kinda immediately ditched their Diamonds after the Authority was abolished. I believe the Diamonds are still the rulers of Gem kind but without the cast system, the pearls felt clearly no desire to serve their diamonds anymore. Ofc the Diamonds weren’t amazing but there is this vibe that the Diamonds are close with their Pearls, besides White ig. Clearly they weren’t as close as we thought since we never really see Blue or Yellow interact with their pearls afterwards.
The Pearls gems (ones we know) are in the same place as their diamonds, maybe the pearl we all know was made for white
Nopee she was custom made for pink diamond and a replacement for pink pearl after the eye crack pd tantrum. And rebecca sugar confirmed she was never whites

In Steven universe there are characters that are pearls, but not every loyal pearl has an owner. Such as rutiles, there is a type of pearl for navigation systems, they are called facility pearls. They have no owner, but are completely loyal. Also yes, she is adorable-
Where did you get that information from?
jestermon101, I learned this from a website. Also, it’s put into thought on a game I play. Not all pearls are attendants, there most likely more of a guide
@@idkhow_either5215 Can you link this website? Also what game is this?
jestermon101, it’s a game on Roblox called “gem galaxies” it’s very well made. It’s not just the website I learned that from, it was the games fandom website. It’s in a different au, but it’s still points out
@@idkhow_either5215 I'm pretty sure Roblox does not count as SU canon. They may have permission to use the world and characters as a setting but given that the Diamonds are changed to Alpha Blue, Omega Red and Delta Green it's clearly not 100% accurate to the official SU universe.
I love how at 9:04 the sapphire was just looking at Steven and not shocked like the others
Since the Pearl and Ruby that make up Rhodonite were owned by a Morganite, which is a pink gemstone, I believe the Pearl had a pink coloration. Perhaps the Ruby did too. Pink rubies are really pretty. I should write a story about them...
Lots of symbolism in the show, just a little sad that it's finished

Look at the positions of the gems on the respective pearls.
While it makes sense that Volleyball was Pink Diamond's Pearl, because both have their gems on their lower torso, we could assume that Crystal Gem Pearl was originally White Diamond's Pearl, because both have the gem on their foreheads, and their personalities... match, to some extent.
This makes me think that CG Pearl was passed down from White Diamond to Pink Diamond when Volleyball was decomissioned, while the upper Diamond kept the broken Pearl for herself.
LOL a trade

Love your headband, Kris. This quarantine sucks but I never get tired of this fascinating series
Fantastic Nerd, same!

True dat.
Symbolism for pink pearl (special collab with the other pearls)
White diamond states "But your light can't help shining through" refering to steven being referred as pink
She says this but shuts you down, doesn't give you a chance to speak but when she does she shows to be unphased and indifferent to your words
Every pearl is just white pearl but made to be a different color
This statement above represents what white diamond truly means when she says "she is every color of the light" not that she is but they depend on her, it's just adding dark or liggt color to create a pearl like yellow and pink being the brightest
Even though colored white we can see her features like her pearl placement, her hair and design just with a crack, upon further inspection this is the pearl steven was dreaming of, when he was pink diamond but he was reflecting himself as pink (I have a theory on this relationship between Steven, "Rose", and Pink diamond). We can see it's pink pearl
And the comment once again "pearls are just white pearls with color" signifies how the pearls are the easiest to turn.
And also the blue pearl part when it says you give this to an emotional person (or whatever this theorist said) which represents the diamond aspect of a pearl and the tranquillity represents blue pearl. She prefers to *_"DRAW"_* in tranquillity.
But just like water blue gems are adaptable like you are flipping an on and off switch. Even though lapis took long to accept the crystal gems, he still trusted steven and came back to fight, blue diamond with water powers herself and *_"BLUE GEM OF ALL BLUE GEMS"_* was easier to crack. Ofcourse it was impossible for pink to come back but blue was so accepting that she didn't care and realize. And just like that she started making steven (pink diamond) sad again. This opens up a third theories is that the color of the diamond doesn't corilate to the diamond but it corilates to servants of the diamond or people close, like how pearl fell for pink, pink pearl aswell, yellow pearl just openly admits that her feelings are irrelevant and shuts people down. Blue is sad and solace and white pearl (even though controlled by white) is controlling and makes you stop talking. But like how water is adaptable, blue pearl becomes playful and shows emotion
So here are the phases. Water: adaptable
* When blue never questioned how pink was back
* how blue pearl became more confident, independent and bold
Blue: sadness & grief/loneliness
Blue diamond: Kept to herself when pink was gone and only confided in pearl because she saw herself in her, more than likely because pearls are based off of their diamond or master
Blue pearl: draws in solace
And finally friendship
Blue diamond: had a strong bond with pink, where she'd go cold to warm in pink's favour, also i believe pink ignited her sometimes, her pink aura makes her feel motherly affection to pink and since blue is the most adaptable she caved first, hints at this is how blue came to steven and connie and not even 10 minutes later helped them escape.
But blue's counterpart being yellow, she took longer to understand, longer to join Steven's side and help him escape and how her ship so delayed when white controlled her 😂😂😂
If you want to get the diamonds power on servants theory, the relationship between steven, rose and pink, the white vs black theory or the light theory, please comment and support
Once there was the introduction of the pearls, I was like yup Pearl on Earth belonged to white originally, but was given color motifs from all the diamonds so Pink wouldn’t feel homesick at her planet, further confirmed when when White removed all the color from her original pearl because, pink seemed to respect her as an equal (friend) but that also put her pearl in danger, as she was prone to emotional outbursts, other than the calculated behaviors of the other diamonds especially when interacting with their pearls
I love this video! Especially since Pearls are important in my country, Philippines, we have a lot of jewelry with them especially thanks to the West Philippines Sea, and since our country is know as The Pearl of the Oriental Sea. Plus tbh the pearls coming into their own and being emerged in art totally vibes with us since Filipinos are known for being in the arts and we’ve been enslaved by so many colonizers for more than 400 years.
mega pearl is also a reference to the conjunction of anthy and utena from revolutionary girl utena… in which both girls work to overcome the forces oppressing them by finding camaraderie and support in each other. together, they become free to shape their own future.
I remember when I first saw pink pearl and white Dimond. I looked over at my friend and said "That's pink pearl." He was so pissed that I was trying to theory craft cus I guess Rebecca doesn't like it and I was like "Well she shouldn't have made it obvious. Blue pearl and Yellow Pearl have gem stone placements that match their diamonds. Our pearl is white and her gem stone placement matches White dimonds and white dimonds current pearl matches Stevens gemstone placement." Then he got even more made and told me to drop it. I just told him what ever if she doesn't like it she shouldn't have made the show because people do that no matter what.
I wish we got to see more Pearls, especially at the Homeworld Era 3 Ball! Q_Q
In their cast, I believe that pearls would not have the right to dance
Even though they wear dance costumes
@@devra712 That's a shame~ But I still want to see some Pearls all dolled up for the special occasion. XD
@@KindredKeepsake I could try and draw them ballgowns if you want
I'm not a very good artist though
I love the pearls so much 🤩 they definitely should have had more scenes in the show👍🏽
Can you do a break down on Connie next? Connie is my favorite character and I think that she is very underrated. I would love that video.❤️✨
anyone also notice that the gems on each pearl are in the same spots as thier diamond overlords? pink pearl in her belly like pink, yellow and blue in thier chests, and pearl (probably white's pearl before volleyball's accident) on her forehead.
I have a theory that Rhodonites pearl piece is the same as the Aubergine Pearl in Future. Their skin tone and hair seem to be very similar. Along with Rhodonites bottom eyes being semi almondish.
5:07
Her: her eyes are almond shaped
Me:
*she's Asian*
LMAO
So we have bird mom pearl, punchable pearl, the quiet pearl, and superiority complex pearl. Did I miss any?
I‘d like to mention that the Pink Pearl fusion episode was also clearly a homage to the finale of Utena. Not only does Pink Pearl strongly resemble anthy from uthena, their fusion also looks like a mix between utena and anthy wich are in the last episode basically on the brink of death as Anthy betrayed utena being in denial about her fate and it ends with utena helping anthy break the cycle if abuse and embrace being her own person instead of someone else‘s posession or a punching bag for someone else who wouldn‘t wanna take accountability. The whole episode is very simmilar.
I love the theme song if Giant Pearl, aptly named Prince Pearl. It's a nice play on words they aren't a princess, but a noble young warrior fighting for them selves and for Steven. I dunno, a powerful lady like her bearing the title of Prince just feels fitting to me in a way.
I would love to hear stuff about Emerald! Although she’s only been seen once she’s stuff super interesting and also I just want to hear about my birthstone lol
Pearl doesn't really act like Pink, she's more mature and controlling cause she was made by White
I have noticed that up until bird moms new formation. all the pearls owned by diamonds have a see through article of clothing, like yellow pearls shoulder things and pink, blue, bird, pearl have the dress things. Even royal pearls collar
You should do all of the uncorrupted gems next! (Bixbite, Watermelon tourmaline [the puffer fish], Cherry quartz, Crazy lace, biggs, and all of the other uncorrupted agates, quartzes, and jaspers that haven't been mentioned yet)
EEEK i looove the pearls!
they're one of my fave characters from steven universe :3
I’ve (re)watched Steven Universe, Avatar the last airbender, Adventure Time, Rock and snotty, and The Owl House. What other really good animated series, current or past, do you recommend, especially those that also resonate with adults?
Also the fact that the position of the pearl corresponds to the position of the diamond aka the owner. Pink pearl has her pearl on her stomach much like pink diamond and blue and yellow pearls also have their pearls on their chest like their owners. But our pearl's pearl is on her head signifying her own head strong journey ahead
They match up very well to their gem's symbolism. Blue is calm but brave enough to speak up, like when she welcomes back Pearl or tells of her interest in art. Yellow is all about being at the top where she can show off her smug cat-face. Volleyball was definitely very gay in a very romantic way
[Thank you. I wanted some spotlight]
[me too!]
[Also me! ]
WHY DOES BLUE NEED 3 PEARLS?!
I really wanted to see more pearls other than the diamond’s pearls, pearl, and the new pearl we saw in the finale 🥺
Like the holograms or other pearl options? We don’t know about their coloring or personalities though, so that would have been 100% me speculating
Okay... so it really is unsure of where our Pearl's owner is but I think I got it. If you look at the pearls, their gems are in the same place as their diamond's gems would be. ( example: pink pearl has her gem on her belly just like pink etc. ). So depending on that illustration, Pearl's owner should be... White Diamond. I mean.. her colors aren't off. And that was a theory for many other fans too. It was just SO subtle. Pearl's gem is on her forehead.. just like White. Blue Pearl has her gem on her chest, like Blue. Yellow has her gem on her chest like Blue Pearl. And we talked about Pink Pearl already.
Have y’all ever noticed that our Pearl has a pinkish pearl🤔 I love your videos 🤍
Can we see an analysis on Bait from the Dragon Prince?
for those that need the frame refence to draw it because it's so gorgeous and you just gotta it's @9:02 you're welcome
one thing I've noticed is that the pearl's gem location in their body is congruent to the diamond that they served for, well- except for volleyball and pearl that is
You didn't mentioned the process of bleaching pearls and how it could tie in to Volleyball's experience when she was under the control of White Diamond.
Most white pearls that are sold have been bleached in some amount to enhance the white color. Bleaching makes them more uniform in color and increases the supply of the more popular white pearl instead of simply settling for the Pearl's original color. The entire process of bleaching the pearls is not for the health of the pearl or anything like that, but instead is a manipulation, changing it according to a specific person's wishes.
Volleyball was controlled by White to utilize the resource of the readily available Pearl but was changed to her ideal by being turned white. Some Steven fans have even called the process of White controlling other gems "bleaching." Volleyball was all but literally bleached.
Awww my beautiful pearls
I just noticed something if you pause at this moment in the video 4:45 you can see pearl looking like her pilot design I think I don't actually know the light is too bright, but the hair is her pilot design.
I notice a huge detail
Pink diamond's gem in on her stomach and so is volleyball (aka pink pearl)
Blue and yellow diamond's gem are on their chest and so is their pearl's
Then here's white diamond. Her gem is on her forehead
But take a look at OUR pearl her gem is also on her forehead..
This means that our pearl was once white's pearl!
(Tw: grammar mistakes)
I understand by this video
Thanks 😁
Poor Lonely Pearl was forgotten. ;-;
Nvm someone already said that ._.
I think that our Pearl was White diamond's pearl. Because of the placement of her gem. The pearls have their gems placed on the same places as their owners. Pearl has her gem on her forehead, just like White diamond, and the same with the other pearls and diamonds. Just think about it... pink pearl was given to pink before our pearl. Maybe, when pink broke Volleyball, white gave her pearl to pink, it wasn't a problem for W.Diamond because she could control her like we saw on one of the last episodes of SU
thanks for the video. this is fascinating! how about one on ruby fusions, since there’re so many ☺️
