pearl got upset at Steven for always wanting to protect Connie bc she saw her old self with rose and didn't want him to feel the same pain pearl went through
Also you can tell by her accidentally calling him “Rose” that she still only sees him as another form of Rose Quartz, and she doesn’t want him to go into battle because she wants to protect him/“Rose.”
That’s why I love her character so much!!! She’s so complex and it’s to hard to label her as either a good or bad person because her actions keep contradicting each other and it gets even harder when you learn of how harmful her life was on homeworld both to her and the gems she cared for!!!
Do you guys remember that episode when steven was turning old and was going to die...? Pearl was the one who was crying the most because she felt like she was going to loose rose/steven/someone she loved again, like she was living that moment again. It just break my heart 💔
Pink Diamond is a real, true example of someone who's just trying to do the right thing. In many cartoons, the "hero" is shown by doing everything perfect with no repercussions and everyone is happy the bad guys lost the end. But Pink Diamond made mistakes. Her decisions hurt people closest to her even when she didn't mean to. And her past did catch up to her, and her death affects everyone. It's pretty cool, thanks Rebecca Sugar. Also, I'm pretty sure Pearl fused with Rose during the performance to prove to Greg that this is a relationship only she can have with Rose. That feeling of fusion is something he'll never understand.
I know, right? A lot of people hate her for making mistakes but everyone makes mistakes. Yes, some of her mistakes heavily affected other people but she didn't mean to. She's so realistic. She tries to do the right thing but sometimes, she fails. Nobody is perfect. Even the diamonds aren't perfect. I know, just because it was a mistake doesn't mean that'll just magically erase the pain she accidentally caused. In a way, I saw myself in her.. I always try to do the right thing but often fail. I didn't realize that someone had a crush on me and that ended up hurting him. I didn't realize that I was only making things worse. Rose isn't just some God that's always perfect and will do everything right. She makes mistakes too. Don't lie to me that you haven't made a mistake before. That's a load of bullshit if you lie to me about that.
Its crazy how pearl was still loyal to rose even after she died and this hurt to know that the only person pear truly LOVED is gone now... and her anger was not pointed at anyone she just knew that no one could feel what she felt but maybe she could be wrong her love for rose was so blinding that she couldn't even see that everyone around her was hurt just as bad rose was seen as this angel and wonder which she was but she was so selfish for what she wanted she lied hurt people just for her curiosity of this world...
Yea thats what i think...pink never had any friends neither freedom...she didnt like how she lived, how everyone treated her like they were robots just following rules. She wanted to find a meaning to what it meant to be alive...she just did what thought was right but never knew how bad it hurt the ones who loved her....maybe she was tired of always caring and loving others that she wanted to be a bit selfish and do a very special choice..to give her life for steven to be made. Saphire even says"she was following us" that shows how much she never knew how to act alone, thats why when she made the choices that she did it always hurt others and be bad but good too. She didnt know...even with the case of spinel. She made her own choice which hurt spinel but brought her to steven....its very sad all of this
Pink/ Rose never really took Pearl's feelings seriously. It was always just a game to her.. Pearl watched the love of her life fall in love with someone else
Its wronggg, pink loved her so much but she never knew that pearl loved *LOVED* her...rose suffered so much just like the rest, she was smaller and less important to other diamonds not even important to be given her own colony(idk how to spell that -/-) maybe rose never could think straight because she always lived based on rules....she never had freedom, she never was happy enough until she was gone forever, Then blue and yellow cared huh....it was too late..pink suffered and probably she didnt wanna love anyone yet bc of the horrible thing that happened to her previous pearl. Who got horribly hurt and controlled by white. She probably was so traumatized that she didnt want a lover but a friend who she could ask and tell her most deepest secrets...no ones perfect not even a diamond
Steven Universe was such a good show.. telling kids how war, loss and the real world is. When it ended I cried for ages, it's been so long, ever since 2013. Now its 2020. Thank you Rebecca sugar for this amazing show.
I think often about the quote “What do you know, you never even met her” and how we felt about it then, and how we feel about it now. It’s true, what did he know? He didn’t know anything about her at this point. All he knew was that she was this amazing leader everyone looked up to, someone who loved her friends, and did what was best for everyone. She was this idealized figure he only knew through the eyes of the people who loved her the most. Watching him learn the truth about her, it really makes Pearl’s words hit different. Ugh this show is so good.
The line was cruel but accurate, lashing out at Steven wasn't okay but understandable. She probably was the person who knew most about Rose, even if she didn't really understand her completely. There was likely nothing Steven could have said to help her in that moment.
Rose was never romantically with Pearl, she loved Pearl but not in that way, so she never cheated on Pearl, yall need to stop saying as if Rose had any obligation at being with Pearl
"What do you know, you never even met her" is just such an awful thing to say. I get that she mad and hurting but damn, to say that as if Steven wouldn't have loved to grow up with his mother. All he hears are stories and he has to live up to the legacy of a woman he's never even met. Rose isn't even a mom to Steven, more like a symbol or a historical figure that was never really a real tangible person cause he never got to ever know her as a person and as a mother. That line is just so upsetting.
I love how much pearl changed throughout the show she used to be so spun up on rose and missed her and didn’t care for herself. She grew so much and know fights for herself and her family and her planet. I’m so proud of her.
2:55…I honestly don’t know why but my eyes teared up as soon as Steven said: “BUT I DO KNOW SHE SAW BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING! EVEN IN STUFF LIKE THIS! AND EVEN IN *JERKS LIKE YOU!!!* “. I honestly don’t know why… it just hit me hard…
Thats not true. She never belittled pearl, at least not on purpose. In “Roses Scabbard”, she tells Pearl “You don’t have to do this with me”. She waned to pearl to have a choice. In “A Single Pale Rose”, Pink says “We’ll both finally be free”. She never saw Pearl as a “pet”. She wanted her to to be free, too.
I never thought pearls is trying to protect steven because she was scared for losing him again..i watch SU in 2013 and i was confused why she was trying to protect him and now in 2020 now i know why the reason..
Pearl kinda reminds me of myself, she falls in love but gets rejected by the other person's emotions, and that hurts- she tried so hard to protect and care for that person but she couldn't protect and care for herself but now, she's more happier and healthy now does anyone else relate? (And I may be wrong about this.)
Lapis: I was locked in a mirror for thousands of years, what have they done to you? Pearl: I was with a person who destroyed me psychologically, lying and using me without realizing it, knowing that I would give everything for her, seeing my companions die during the war, strive and give all my strength to make her happy, so that later of so many years together at the first change she left with a guy, having a baby and ceasing to exist, leaving me alone, and leaving her son all the problems that she had to solve, knowing that this child is the irrefutable proof that me I remembered every day that she never liked me as much as I did her.
Pearl's pain is understandable, same goes with lapis. Both has suffered enough. Lapis was forced to be stuck in a mirror because the Homeland thought she was a rebel, and she was used as a 'tool'. Later on the war broke out and she was left cracked. Being in an almost-dead state for a gem, and stuck in a mirror for eons being left out, of course her mental would've gotten destroyed over time. Even when the Crystal Gems know she's in there, they didn't let her out, that would've damaged her feelings completely. Not saying that I disagree with you since pain, suffering, and trauma cannot and never will be able to be compared with each other since a person's mental capacity are all different, I just wanted to add haha
Pearl has always been my favorite character for she was someone I can relate to when someone close to me passed. Her outburst I always understood and she is indeed a tragic character. I like to think she'll eventually find peace with all she went through:)
That episode where he had to follow her to the cliff and she says “I wonder if she can see me through your eyes sometimes… what would she think of me now?” And he has no words so he just hugs her hoping his emotions will reach her how much HE cherishes her. Loss is the worst kind of pain no matter what position your in-child, lover, or friend and that’s the one thing they could understand equally, I lost my dad and this show conveyed so much I never realized I was trying to say, it hurt but when u let urself hurt u let urself heal a little at a time. There’s so many moments in this show that they just did so beautifully and stevens personal journey was the most painful because it was the most real. When you lose yourself trying to do the right thing, be that person for the ones you love and suddenly realize your pillars have turned to sand and your falling and spiraling and no one can reach you because u used ur pillars to build a wall around yourself without ever realizing it and it takes someone capable of breaking those walls to make u actually feel okay or break ur fall, when u don’t have that someone u just fall and break and then slowly that someone who could’ve helped at the time starts to become you and u learn how to get back up, how to heal and continue forward and maybe u repeat and fall again or maybe u stay down or maybe when u get back up u don’t repeat but instead lose a really deep piece of yourself, but it takes a lot of beauty to help mold urself to be as strong as you once were-beauty from the pain, beauty from the quiet after the storm, even if it’s echoing loneliness there’s something mesmerizing about it and it’s just the pure and raw strength u unearthed from the fall, ready to help u rebuild urself. It’s what makes u u. And his gem self I felt like was a sort of picture of that in a way, when he had to face white alone.
I remember how I only found this video when I was little and was struggling when I was 11 (family issues), I am 16 now, and this video causes the same goosebumps as it did before. I can't believe still that the show has ended.This video is very dear to me, thank you.
I remember people saying that pearl was being an asshole, but being older and wiser made me realise that just like everyone else in SU, she’s a complicated grey character. Being in love made me realise that being in its trance will make you…do things, and pearl is just like me.
I feel like there has been a moment in everyones life where they have felt like our pearl and I really liked her character development. Shout out to you for making the video.Keep up the good work.
Everyday, I think of how this show changed my life and my perspective of life and how I see things everyday. I remember being young, sitting on the couch eating popcorn waiting for that new episode in 2015. Feeling joy after seeing a new fusion or learning a new life lesson. The heartbreak I felt when I realized that.. it was actually over made me feel like the only thing keeping me sane was gone. But then realized that it’s people like you that keep the memory of the show alive and going. Loving something like a show taught me that things come and go, but it will always be in your heart. People saying “it’s just a cartoon” or “it’s for kids” don’t realize that it helps people understand their feelings and that it’s not just a “show”. I personally had my life changed by Steven and will forever have references of Steven in my life to remind me of the old days when we were all happy about a new episode :)
Steven when he was younger reminds me of my younger self. I was a bunch of people's therapist. Especially my mother's "therapist" which isn't healthy tbh. A parent shouldn't rely on their child for that, it should be the other way around.
Even though it's over we all keep repeating this edits to atleast remind ourselves that were not alone in the World with the pain their are alot of people who are still suffering
🌺this show meant so much to me, the show had a much deeper meaning and it slowly unraveled itself and showed what actually happened in the story. *ROSE QUARTZ/PINK DIAMOND* shown in 2:40 and 2:57 you can see Steven never really got to know his mom and he will never be able to know her. he can only hear the stories of how amazing she was but he was also able to realize that his mom wasnt perfect saying she literally started a war just because she didn't get her way, but she had a reason for that, ( update for Pink she had destruction screams? pretty weird I know and empathetic tendencies I think that's the one ill look it up and swap Pink and Blue if it is, also could heal things )as Pink Diamond she did all she could for the other Diamonds to listen to her, Pink told them she wanted to preserve life on Earth, so the Diamonds threw humans in The Zoo, she didn't want the humans in the zoo but the other Diamonds refused to listen to her and told her to finish what she started, and thats why Pink Diamond faked her shattering and became Rose Quartz. Rose started the war to make a stand against the Diamonds and show that she didn't follow their rules anymore and defended Earth until she had Steven. *STEVEN UNIVERSE/PINK STEVEN* Steven was growing up the his moms shadow and literally everybody expected him to be Rose and act like her, in Rose's Scabbard (Season 1 Episode 45), Pearl states how Steven would talk like her and occasionally act like her, that was pretty wrong on Pearls part saying Steven hates to be compared to his mom because he is his own person. Pink Steven was a result of White Diamond ripping his gem from his stomach in hopes Pink would reform, that doesn't work, at all, and instead we see the first appearance of Pink Steven. Pink Steven pops up more around the show like in like in Steven Universe Future, in the episode Fragments (Season 1 Episode 9 I believe) he shatters Jasper as a result of going to far with his new ✨Pink Powers✨ but he is able to heal her back and Jasper calls him "My Diamond" the reason for this is The Diamonds would create gems and they would be The Diamonds humble servants and they would call The Diamonds their Diamonds like in Steven Universe, in the episode A Single Pale Rose (I forgot the episode sorry if you know it pls say in the replies) Rose transforms back into Pink, that results in Pearl calling Pink "My Diamond". *GARNET/RUBY AND SAPPHIRE* Garnet is made up of two gems: Ruby and Sapphire and they hate forced fusion and chose to form Garnet by themselves and got married to show that they chose to be Garnet, and she serves and one of the main Crystal Gems. *AMETHYST* Amethyst is a gem that was originally from the Earth Kindergarten and not from Homeworld like Pearl and Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire) and serves as one of the main gems in the Crystal Gems. *PEARL* Pearl was Originally Pink Diamond's Pearl until Pink decided to form Rose Quartz. Pearl has a ton of trauma that Rose gave her like, Pearl thinking that she had to do everything for Rose and not do anything for herself and also the need to always protect her, though im pretty sure most of that came from her serving as a Diamond's Pearl, Pearl is actually the one who reveals that Rose is Pink Diamond in the first place, by taking Steven inside of her gem she reveals that Rose is Pink and that Pink's so called "Shattering" wasn't real and that it was Pearl shapeshifted into Rose Quartz and you might be asking "How didn't Pink actually shatter?" well to put things simply (I know this fricken essay isn't simple) Rose's sword can't actually shatter gems, it was made to only poof them. *BLUE DIAMOND* (blue is a very i n t e r e s t i n g character to say the least) Blue Diamond is one the main Gems in [ *insert yellow pearls voice* ] tHe GrEaT dIaMoNd AuThOrItY ( yes I am being over dramatic ) she has sympathetic tendencies along with her power that could make people feel the way she does or did, therefore having sympathetic powers. Blue is honestly my favorite Diamond ( wow im getting controversial ) but don't come at me with the torches and pitchforks ok? Blue had some meh character development in my opinion and she still kept calling STEVEN ( ya know the kid who hates being compared to his mom? ) PINK like come on Blue! *YELLOW DIAMOND* ( yellow is also and interesting character ngl ) Once again one of the main gems of [ *insert peridots voice* ] tHe oH sO gReAt DiAmONd AuThOrItY, Yellow was w e l l a pretty horrible gem ngl she had TERRIBLE character development ( but if you count ruthlessly killing gems then not character development then go off ig ) and when she and the other Diamonds got their "nice" arc she HAD NO OTHER PLOT RELEVANCE ( besides "attempting" to help Steven ) and that makes me pretty mad saying I thought she would have some good plot relevance ( Yellow has apathetic tendencies ) . *WHITE DIAMOND* ( yooooo get comfy cause this is gonna be a looooong part besties ) why, just, why, OK WELCOME TO THE FINAL PART OF THE DIAMONDS AND OF COURSE SAVING THE "best" FOR LAST. ok so white diamond. where the heck do i start? alrighty, so the last and most powerful gem of [ *insert holly blues voice* ] tHe GrEaT aNd RaDiAnT ( *carefree, Adrien the fragrance* ) aNd AlMiGhTy DIAMONDS, White probably had THE WORST CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND ABSOLUTELY NO PLOT RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, aka the worst possible gem ever. She started the whole corruption thing cause they were losing control of their OWN GEMS, so of course when your childs ( Pink Diamond ) life work doesn't go as planned you decide to destroy it all? [ *IMPORTANT NOTE* ] please do not take offense to any of this its all for fun and not meant to offend anybody ] and MAKE FATAL THINGS THAT SPIT ACID? ( Centipeedle ) like c'mon woman🌺 🌺Well that's the end until I decide to do more than just the Crystal Gems. I know that this wasnt exactly in depth but I've been writing this since 9:48 pm and its now 10:49 pm so im very tired and thanks everybody for reading my rant and if you have anymore facts to add feel free to add them in the replies so goodnight everybody and have a good day, 07.20.21 Edit: HELLO I have returned with more so enjoy its gonna be probably another hour for me but whatever anyways, start of Diamonds: 11:04 pm, End of Diamonds: 11:43 pm, thank you for reading the update ( if you did ) and once again if you have anymore info you would like me to add feel free to add them in the replies and NIGHT PEEPS. overall edit finish time: 11:45 pm🌺
even if u say that not , Pearl is the most emotional character of steven universe for me , was the best character (even that my favorite character is Lazuli lol) guy , that part whem steven says "i didnt even know my mom" broked me
I always feel like Pearl has a vhs tape of Rose. In her consciousness, the vhs tape is all static. With mellow skies and her and rose dancing in the sunset on the beach. But the tape will freeze because it never happened. Pearl would sit there and stare at the tape. And act like Rose is still there.
i used to think that pearl was always somewhat an overrreactor as a child, but when i saw 'a single pale rose', i finally understood, and now this vid has me crying;-;
It’s just something about where you have this love towards someone and it’s the love you don’t feel towards anyone and when they change or act as if they wasn’t what you had knew of from the start it really hurts :,) and when that pain doesn’t get any closure the pain it simmers down but it forever remains. it’s aching
I just found a string of theses type of videos. Just makes me tear up and realize alot. I miss these shows . Star . Adventure time . Steven so much others i just miss em..
I can't believe that everyone thinks that rose/pink Dimond is the bad guy. She didn't mean any harm! Her and Steven couldn't exist at the same time so she became part of him. She faked her sattering(death) for some reason.but she's still a good person.
The first time I watched Steven Universe I thought Pearl’s “obsession” was annoying. The second time through I really tried to understand her, and I did. I realized that once you have someone in your life that truly makes you happy, you’d do anything to keep them safe. You wake up and you only ever think about them and how they’re doing. The emotions you feel are for them and are because of them. Putting someone in such high standards only to have them suddenly ripped away from you sounds like the most tragic and heartbreaking thing in the world. Being so close to them, you only ever knew how to live for them and now they’re gone. Everything that was ever meaningful in your life is now missing. Suddenly just being yourself is the hardest thing in the world, because the only thing that made you feel even remotely content will never return to you again. In the beginning Pearl was so misunderstood and now every time she cries or feels pain my heart hurts
"What do you know, you didn't even meet her." Kind of a stupid thing to say even if you're sad knowing full well he's the child who couldn't even embrace his mother
omfg 400 views?? Thank you everyone :) 09/18/20 edit: wow i would never think this vid will reach 100k views or a lot of people !! 🌺 i actually have some draft amethyst and ruby&sapphire edits I'll post them soon if I finish it!! Thank you for these beautiful responses I get day to day!! everyone please treat people with kindness always ❤️ & Steven Universe Future is now on HBO Max!
Been a while this video was released and Steven Universe ended, just wanted to say that despite the simp jokes and horrible comments on Rose and Pearl. It always felt like both ends were burning, Rose was focused on everything not everyone, Pearl couldn't handle being herself near her. Everything this show and the movie went through felt like it was apart of real life routines as if this show grew up with you and it basically did and I think that's the saddest thing this show had to offer
I feel so bad for pearl man. Given to pink as a replacement, going through thousands of years believing she knew everything about her then along comes Greg and the following years just shatter her (metaphorically)
Seeing pearl cry reminds me of me when I’m sad- it reminds me that I don’t have to be perfect, just like how it reminds pearl that they aren’t perfect either
I don’t hate rose for 1 thing And that thing is she reminds me to myself. I mean I’m not a magical space Humanoid Diamond who started a war,but when the show started to show rose.. I like.. kinda wanted to be like her,Kind,sweet and “perfect”. And by being like her,believe it or not,I made lots of mistakes. I lost so much friends but I always keep smiling and being kind. The things I made while trying to be like her.. jeez.. they are things that I’m not proud for and somehow.. I always manage to scape all those problems without being hurt Physically.. but i was a mess Emotionally.. Tho I’m still a mess but more melted. I mean you know,not so bad now Alright. The point is that I can’t be mad at her.. because it’s something we would all do,something that we want to protect we do everything for it.. her actions.. her feelings.. are not from a Gem.. they are from a human.. That’s why I can’t hate rose.. because i feel her like a human. And humans make mistakes
I can perfectly understand her, but instead of grieving with her friends and family she shut them out and practically deemed everyone else's relationship with rose as "not as special" 😞
well to be fair pearls relationship to rose was a lot stronger than everyone else’s, pearl was there in the beginning and pearl was in love with rose romantically even tho rose didn’t love ger back in the same way
my headcanon is that all rose quarts have healing tears as a result of the kindergarden they were made in, and as a second use if they're low on healers, they'll use a rose quartz
I believe that after what happened to her original Pearl, Rose never truly got attached to her second Pearl. Like I get the feeling she misses her original Pearl and the second Pearl was given to her to replace Pink Pearl but you can't just replace people you care about like that. And yeah, our Pearl came to love Rose, but Pearls are literally programmed to be obedient to their masters, why would Rose consider Pearl's feelings anything more than just her programming, Pearl only loved Rose because she was made to be Pink Diamond's Pearl, and Rose wanted nothing to do with how homeworld did things. Is it any wonder Rose fell in love with Greg? Greg wasn't put on this earth to love Rose but he chose her anyways, Greg had the freedom to make that choice
I grew up watching this show, and I don’t think I ever truly had a grasp on how tragic Pearl’s relationship with Rose was. From the beginning of her creation, Pearl had been by Rose’s side, and she really truly loved her for all that time. She spent her every living moment fighting and serving for her, doing everything she could to make her happy. That impossibly long duration, all those millennia they’d been together, and Pearl was confident they were inseparable.. only for Rose to fall for a human- one out of billions of others that existed on Earth- in a mere matter of months.
Steven Universe was a show I was very late to watch, as I have my full sense of reality and the real world, I realized how hard it is for all types of characters in the show, and I find some very emotional, but Pearl has a vibe that somehow seems like she wants Rose/Pink back, but theres only Steven
I usually don't cry at night anymore but this. This made my emotions burst like a bubble. Im not gonna lie im glad at least half of the emotions i bottled up are gone. I love this so much please don't delete this.
As a child, i honestly didnt take this stuff seriously. Like i thought this was all just plot and the drama was just building friendships. Here i am, older and absolutely sobbing over this cartoon show.
How pearl felt about rose was never about loyalty, it was about obsession because that was literally how she was created. Made with the sole purpose to serve pink diamond and nothing more. I mean we see how other pearls behave and act for the person they were originally created for. This only got worse as they grew closer with rose trusting and relying on her in ways she hadn’t and couldn’t with others, specifically all the things going on with the war. it grew to an unhealthy point that even garnet pointed it out in the episode pearl was teaching connie how to use a sword. I personally only see pearl finally beginning to grow past her obsession in the sequel; SU the future (or at least recognize that she never was as independent as she seemed to be as a rebel). My point is let’s not put this in a light that makes it seem positive. Pearl was only hurting herself with this behavior when it got so extreme
I just finished watching the whole series with my daughter, and at first Pearl was my least favorite of the Crystal Gems, but by the end she was my favorite of all the gems. I love her so much. She is such a deep character
Honestly I see a lot of 14 years older Steven,because of his mom. Since he was a little child they told him stories about her,he wanted to met her but...he couldn't. That reminds me with my grandparents,my dad's parents,I never knew them,but I wish I could met them,somehow...and some of my father's relatives told me that I have the same face as my grandma,like they told Steven that he's like his mother...I see myself in him since I was 8.
Rose did love Pearl like how Pearl loved her, but there were things that couldn't be understood or fixed because Rose couldn’t see it and Pearl thought she wasn't worthy enough to bring it up. Rose didn’t make her feel like nothing, she was already feeling like that. Rose just gave her her first awakening to her own desires. Just my thoughts
pov: your in high school, you've had a crush on your best friend for years, but she's straight. you just found out she's dating your brother who knew about your feelings for her, your upset, angry and in denial, you decide to try and win her back, but its clear she favours your brother over you. two months into their relationship, your met with big news that your brother got her pregnant. she was kicked out of her parents house for being pregnant at such a young age, but you still are so deeply in love with her, so you offer for her to live with you and your family, who welcome her with open arms. You decide to let her know about your feelings, but your brother forces you into keeping quiet, since they are still dating. 9 months later, she dies giving birth to your nephew Your brother doesn't seem to care about his son and considers giving him up for adoption. but this child is the only thing you have left of her when you turn 18 you decide to adopt Your nephew from your brother. you get all the paperwork done and you are now the proud foster mother of him. he reminds you so much of her, you sometimes wonder if she can see you through his eyes. he's so much like her, he sees beauty in everything, he's sympathetic, kind, bubbly, smart, loving, he loves animals, he loves ice cream, he's perfect, he's the what gives you the motivation to get up in the morning. you finally feel happy This is not based on a true story, i just came up with it out of the blue and decided to post it have a wonderful life
I hope that the people who hated her finally understood that rose/pink never expected for homeworld to have an interest on Earth again. After thousands of years (probably 5,300) scouting the Earth and cleaning up the remnants of the Gem War, it's normal for them to think that everything was over... That Homeworld gems were never gonna come back. She never knew about the Cluster deep inside the Earth. It was just unfortunate that her past caught up on Steven instead of her... When she finally tried to learn and love like a person, to give up her own existence for Steven. As for her mistakes and actions as both Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz, she was just a normal person. From a childish, selfish and annoying Diamond, to a loving mother-figure and leader who cherished every moment in the present. She always envied humans for their ability to change and grow up, but in my opinion she already did that herself without realizing it.
When I watched the last episodes in English as a German because Germany still hasn't shown them, I cried. I cried a bit. Because I firstly can't really express and show emotions plus when Steven turned into a monster it reminded me of nightmares about me turning into a monster because of depression, anger issues,, trust issues, strong mood swings etc (I actually got diagnosed with depression so that's why I'm saying it). So many kids get traumatized and can't say anything to someone because these days you can't trust anyone anymore. Everyone became selfish and unloving and untrustworthy. I'm glad that rare people with pure hearts still exist. Those are the angels which got sent to earth to help.

![Watching you grow [Fern and Finn]](/img/tr.png)
pearl got upset at Steven for always wanting to protect Connie bc she saw her old self with rose and didn't want him to feel the same pain pearl went through
This takes connverse to a whole new level imo
Aw, that is so true
now you know steven unverse
Also you can tell by her accidentally calling him “Rose” that she still only sees him as another form of Rose Quartz, and she doesn’t want him to go into battle because she wants to protect him/“Rose.”
So she put poor Connie in his place? Omg she's terible
Pearls anger is way understandable now that we know she was her pearl when she was a diamond
I think pearl was white diamonds pearl and white diamonds pearl was pinks pearl
professional depresso espresso Nah Rebecca said that pearl was never designed for white
@@laffytaff3443 white diamonds pearl was once pink diamonds pearl, until pink accidentally cracked her with one of her outbursts
@@rainbowraven7051 yeah, wasnt pearl made for pink diamond after pink pearl was cracked? Idk all I know is pearl is younger
Ohh thanks yall
Honestly, Rose hurt a lot of people without knowing it she never even got the chance to apologize to them.
That’s why I love her character so much!!! She’s so complex and it’s to hard to label her as either a good or bad person because her actions keep contradicting each other and it gets even harder when you learn of how harmful her life was on homeworld both to her and the gems she cared for!!!
I still don’t understand why she decided to die to have steven
@@lilifel because she does whatever she wants
You made my day 100% worse right now. Thank you :)
Maybe her apology was leaving so she cannot hurt anyone else ...she had no idea how to fix her mistakes so she gave them Steven
Do you guys remember that episode when steven was turning old and was going to die...? Pearl was the one who was crying the most because she felt like she was going to loose rose/steven/someone she loved again, like she was living that moment again. It just break my heart 💔

Pink Diamond is a real, true example of someone who's just trying to do the right thing. In many cartoons, the "hero" is shown by doing everything perfect with no repercussions and everyone is happy the bad guys lost the end. But Pink Diamond made mistakes. Her decisions hurt people closest to her even when she didn't mean to. And her past did catch up to her, and her death affects everyone. It's pretty cool, thanks Rebecca Sugar.
Also, I'm pretty sure Pearl fused with Rose during the performance to prove to Greg that this is a relationship only she can have with Rose. That feeling of fusion is something he'll never understand.
I know, right? A lot of people hate her for making mistakes but everyone makes mistakes. Yes, some of her mistakes heavily affected other people but she didn't mean to. She's so realistic. She tries to do the right thing but sometimes, she fails. Nobody is perfect. Even the diamonds aren't perfect. I know, just because it was a mistake doesn't mean that'll just magically erase the pain she accidentally caused. In a way, I saw myself in her.. I always try to do the right thing but often fail. I didn't realize that someone had a crush on me and that ended up hurting him. I didn't realize that I was only making things worse. Rose isn't just some God that's always perfect and will do everything right. She makes mistakes too. Don't lie to me that you haven't made a mistake before. That's a load of bullshit if you lie to me about that.
Greg and Rose fused tho, and it's called "Steven Universe".

“Why won’t you just let me do this for you Rose?” Hits different like damn-
Its crazy how pearl was still loyal to rose even after she died and this hurt to know that the only person pear truly LOVED is gone now... and her anger was not pointed at anyone she just knew that no one could feel what she felt but maybe she could be wrong her love for rose was so blinding that she couldn't even see that everyone around her was hurt just as bad rose was seen as this angel and wonder which she was but she was so selfish for what she wanted she lied hurt people just for her curiosity of this world...
Yea thats what i think...pink never had any friends neither freedom...she didnt like how she lived, how everyone treated her like they were robots just following rules. She wanted to find a meaning to what it meant to be alive...she just did what thought was right but never knew how bad it hurt the ones who loved her....maybe she was tired of always caring and loving others that she wanted to be a bit selfish and do a very special choice..to give her life for steven to be made. Saphire even says"she was following us" that shows how much she never knew how to act alone, thats why when she made the choices that she did it always hurt others and be bad but good too. She didnt know...even with the case of spinel. She made her own choice which hurt spinel but brought her to steven....its very sad all of this

I always thought she didn't know! Kind of obvious that Pearl loved her but I had a thought Rose saw it as loyalty :^(
Its wronggg, pink loved her so much but she never knew that pearl loved *LOVED* her...rose suffered so much just like the rest, she was smaller and less important to other diamonds not even important to be given her own colony(idk how to spell that -/-) maybe rose never could think straight because she always lived based on rules....she never had freedom, she never was happy enough until she was gone forever, Then blue and yellow cared huh....it was too late..pink suffered and probably she didnt wanna love anyone yet bc of the horrible thing that happened to her previous pearl. Who got horribly hurt and controlled by white. She probably was so traumatized that she didnt want a lover but a friend who she could ask and tell her most deepest secrets...no ones perfect not even a diamond
Its true but in steven universe future u can see that greg was gust as bad as rose i feel had for steven he has grabige parents

I think often about the quote “What do you know, you never even met her” and how we felt about it then, and how we feel about it now. It’s true, what did he know? He didn’t know anything about her at this point. All he knew was that she was this amazing leader everyone looked up to, someone who loved her friends, and did what was best for everyone. She was this idealized figure he only knew through the eyes of the people who loved her the most. Watching him learn the truth about her, it really makes Pearl’s words hit different. Ugh this show is so good.
The line was cruel but accurate, lashing out at Steven wasn't okay but understandable. She probably was the person who knew most about Rose, even if she didn't really understand her completely. There was likely nothing Steven could have said to help her in that moment.

"What do you know, you never even met her" is just such an awful thing to say. I get that she mad and hurting but damn, to say that as if Steven wouldn't have loved to grow up with his mother. All he hears are stories and he has to live up to the legacy of a woman he's never even met. Rose isn't even a mom to Steven, more like a symbol or a historical figure that was never really a real tangible person cause he never got to ever know her as a person and as a mother. That line is just so upsetting.
the fact that he looked up to her just like everyone did

"Well I think you're pretty great..."
It’s sad because rose seemed like the only one who treated pearl like an equal, but really she didn’t think of her like a friend. More like a pet
Thats not true. She never belittled pearl, at least not on purpose. In “Roses Scabbard”, she tells Pearl “You don’t have to do this with me”. She waned to pearl to have a choice. In “A Single Pale Rose”, Pink says “We’ll both finally be free”. She never saw Pearl as a “pet”. She wanted her to to be free, too.

Lapis: I was locked in a mirror for thousands of years, what have they done to you?
Pearl: I was with a person who destroyed me psychologically, lying and using me without realizing it, knowing that I would give everything for her, seeing my companions die during the war, strive and give all my strength to make her happy, so that later of so many years together at the first change she left with a guy, having a baby and ceasing to exist, leaving me alone, and leaving her son all the problems that she had to solve, knowing that this child is the irrefutable proof that me I remembered every day that she never liked me as much as I did her.
Lapis: o h
Pearl's pain is understandable, same goes with lapis. Both has suffered enough. Lapis was forced to be stuck in a mirror because the Homeland thought she was a rebel, and she was used as a 'tool'. Later on the war broke out and she was left cracked. Being in an almost-dead state for a gem, and stuck in a mirror for eons being left out, of course her mental would've gotten destroyed over time. Even when the Crystal Gems know she's in there, they didn't let her out, that would've damaged her feelings completely. Not saying that I disagree with you since pain, suffering, and trauma cannot and never will be able to be compared with each other since a person's mental capacity are all different, I just wanted to add haha

The 3 dislikes are from the Diamonds
They multiplied
Rose's problem was that she took Pearl's feelings the way that a diamond would love a pearl, but not the same way Pearl loved Rose.
Rose's problem is that she knew the beauty of life but not the beauty of being a good person, humanity is not a thing in the homeworld
Pearl has always been my favorite character for she was someone I can relate to when someone close to me passed. Her outburst I always understood and she is indeed a tragic character. I like to think she'll eventually find peace with all she went through:)
That episode where he had to follow her to the cliff and she says “I wonder if she can see me through your eyes sometimes… what would she think of me now?” And he has no words so he just hugs her hoping his emotions will reach her how much HE cherishes her. Loss is the worst kind of pain no matter what position your in-child, lover, or friend and that’s the one thing they could understand equally, I lost my dad and this show conveyed so much I never realized I was trying to say, it hurt but when u let urself hurt u let urself heal a little at a time.
There’s so many moments in this show that they just did so beautifully and stevens personal journey was the most painful because it was the most real. When you lose yourself trying to do the right thing, be that person for the ones you love and suddenly realize your pillars have turned to sand and your falling and spiraling and no one can reach you because u used ur pillars to build a wall around yourself without ever realizing it and it takes someone capable of breaking those walls to make u actually feel okay or break ur fall, when u don’t have that someone u just fall and break and then slowly that someone who could’ve helped at the time starts to become you and u learn how to get back up, how to heal and continue forward and maybe u repeat and fall again or maybe u stay down or maybe when u get back up u don’t repeat but instead lose a really deep piece of yourself, but it takes a lot of beauty to help mold urself to be as strong as you once were-beauty from the pain, beauty from the quiet after the storm, even if it’s echoing loneliness there’s something mesmerizing about it and it’s just the pure and raw strength u unearthed from the fall, ready to help u rebuild urself. It’s what makes u u. And his gem self I felt like was a sort of picture of that in a way, when he had to face white alone.

Steven Univers will forever have a place in my heart. istg that show if the defintion of my Happy/Sad Place
I feel like there has been a moment in everyones life where they have felt like our pearl and I really liked her character development. Shout out to you for making the video.Keep up the good work.
“This monster doesn’t know how to communicate.” That’s one way to describe Rose, the alien princess.
Everyday, I think of how this show changed my life and my perspective of life and how I see things everyday. I remember being young, sitting on the couch eating popcorn waiting for that new episode in 2015. Feeling joy after seeing a new fusion or learning a new life lesson. The heartbreak I felt when I realized that.. it was actually over made me feel like the only thing keeping me sane was gone. But then realized that it’s people like you that keep the memory of the show alive and going. Loving something like a show taught me that things come and go, but it will always be in your heart.
People saying “it’s just a cartoon” or “it’s for kids” don’t realize that it helps people understand their feelings and that it’s not just a “show”. I personally had my life changed by Steven and will forever have references of Steven in my life to remind me of the old days when we were all happy about a new episode :)
Rose reminds me of my mom, went to get milk, but never came home
oh my gosh.....i-im so sorry for you, i don't know what to say. i couldnt imagine going through that....
Dude You are gonna make me tears up
it should be the dad 😂
this is only a joke dont take it seriously
Steven when he was younger reminds me of my younger self. I was a bunch of people's therapist. Especially my mother's "therapist" which isn't healthy tbh. A parent shouldn't rely on their child for that, it should be the other way around.
Even though it's over we all keep repeating this edits to atleast remind ourselves that were not alone in the World with the pain their are alot of people who are still suffering
Pearl went through alot and also i realized how most of the time pearl only gets angry whenever its about rose or something related to rose
This is so beautiful, oh my gosh....

Steven YOU FORGOT YE FOOT THONG THINGY
God , loving someone the same way pearl loved pearl is not for the weak.
🌺this show meant so much to me, the show had a much deeper meaning and it slowly unraveled itself and showed what actually happened in the story. *ROSE QUARTZ/PINK DIAMOND* shown in 2:40 and 2:57 you can see Steven never really got to know his mom and he will never be able to know her. he can only hear the stories of how amazing she was but he was also able to realize that his mom wasnt perfect saying she literally started a war just because she didn't get her way, but she had a reason for that, ( update for Pink she had destruction screams? pretty weird I know and empathetic tendencies I think that's the one ill look it up and swap Pink and Blue if it is, also could heal things )as Pink Diamond she did all she could for the other Diamonds to listen to her, Pink told them she wanted to preserve life on Earth, so the Diamonds threw humans in The Zoo, she didn't want the humans in the zoo but the other Diamonds refused to listen to her and told her to finish what she started, and thats why Pink Diamond faked her shattering and became Rose Quartz. Rose started the war to make a stand against the Diamonds and show that she didn't follow their rules anymore and defended Earth until she had Steven. *STEVEN UNIVERSE/PINK STEVEN* Steven was growing up the his moms shadow and literally everybody expected him to be Rose and act like her, in Rose's Scabbard (Season 1 Episode 45), Pearl states how Steven would talk like her and occasionally act like her, that was pretty wrong on Pearls part saying Steven hates to be compared to his mom because he is his own person. Pink Steven was a result of White Diamond ripping his gem from his stomach in hopes Pink would reform, that doesn't work, at all, and instead we see the first appearance of Pink Steven. Pink Steven pops up more around the show like in like in Steven Universe Future, in the episode Fragments (Season 1 Episode 9 I believe) he shatters Jasper as a result of going to far with his new ✨Pink Powers✨ but he is able to heal her back and Jasper calls him "My Diamond" the reason for this is The Diamonds would create gems and they would be The Diamonds humble servants and they would call The Diamonds their Diamonds like in Steven Universe, in the episode A Single Pale Rose (I forgot the episode sorry if you know it pls say in the replies) Rose transforms back into Pink, that results in Pearl calling Pink "My Diamond". *GARNET/RUBY AND SAPPHIRE* Garnet is made up of two gems: Ruby and Sapphire and they hate forced fusion and chose to form Garnet by themselves and got married to show that they chose to be Garnet, and she serves and one of the main Crystal Gems. *AMETHYST* Amethyst is a gem that was originally from the Earth Kindergarten and not from Homeworld like Pearl and Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire) and serves as one of the main gems in the Crystal Gems. *PEARL* Pearl was Originally Pink Diamond's Pearl until Pink decided to form Rose Quartz. Pearl has a ton of trauma that Rose gave her like, Pearl thinking that she had to do everything for Rose and not do anything for herself and also the need to always protect her, though im pretty sure most of that came from her serving as a Diamond's Pearl, Pearl is actually the one who reveals that Rose is Pink Diamond in the first place, by taking Steven inside of her gem she reveals that Rose is Pink and that Pink's so called "Shattering" wasn't real and that it was Pearl shapeshifted into Rose Quartz and you might be asking "How didn't Pink actually shatter?" well to put things simply (I know this fricken essay isn't simple) Rose's sword can't actually shatter gems, it was made to only poof them. *BLUE DIAMOND* (blue is a very i n t e r e s t i n g character to say the least) Blue Diamond is one the main Gems in [ *insert yellow pearls voice* ] tHe GrEaT dIaMoNd AuThOrItY ( yes I am being over dramatic ) she has sympathetic tendencies along with her power that could make people feel the way she does or did, therefore having sympathetic powers. Blue is honestly my favorite Diamond ( wow im getting controversial ) but don't come at me with the torches and pitchforks ok? Blue had some meh character development in my opinion and she still kept calling STEVEN ( ya know the kid who hates being compared to his mom? ) PINK like come on Blue! *YELLOW DIAMOND* ( yellow is also and interesting character ngl ) Once again one of the main gems of [ *insert peridots voice* ] tHe oH sO gReAt DiAmONd AuThOrItY, Yellow was w e l l a pretty horrible gem ngl she had TERRIBLE character development ( but if you count ruthlessly killing gems then not character development then go off ig ) and when she and the other Diamonds got their "nice" arc she HAD NO OTHER PLOT RELEVANCE ( besides "attempting" to help Steven ) and that makes me pretty mad saying I thought she would have some good plot relevance ( Yellow has apathetic tendencies ) . *WHITE DIAMOND* ( yooooo get comfy cause this is gonna be a looooong part besties ) why, just, why, OK WELCOME TO THE FINAL PART OF THE DIAMONDS AND OF COURSE SAVING THE "best" FOR LAST. ok so white diamond. where the heck do i start? alrighty, so the last and most powerful gem of [ *insert holly blues voice* ] tHe GrEaT aNd RaDiAnT ( *carefree, Adrien the fragrance* ) aNd AlMiGhTy DIAMONDS, White probably had THE WORST CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND ABSOLUTELY NO PLOT RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, aka the worst possible gem ever. She started the whole corruption thing cause they were losing control of their OWN GEMS, so of course when your childs ( Pink Diamond ) life work doesn't go as planned you decide to destroy it all? [ *IMPORTANT NOTE* ] please do not take offense to any of this its all for fun and not meant to offend anybody ] and MAKE FATAL THINGS THAT SPIT ACID? ( Centipeedle ) like c'mon woman🌺

Poor pearl 😕💔 she was so loyal to rose and she did everything for her but rose preferred Greg and the earth...💔
In SUF Pearl seems like to get over rose/pink, she start to go with Bismuth and i’m so happy for her..
I always feel like Pearl has a vhs tape of Rose. In her consciousness, the vhs tape is all static. With mellow skies and her and rose dancing in the sunset on the beach. But the tape will freeze because it never happened. Pearl would sit there and stare at the tape. And act like Rose is still there.
'Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead... '
i used to think that pearl was always somewhat an overrreactor as a child, but when i saw 'a single pale rose', i finally understood, and now this vid has me crying;-;
She’s so obviously heartbroken it hurts
did anyone else get this on there recommendations late at night and have a crisis and cry abt it?
It’s just something about where you have this love towards someone and it’s the love you don’t feel towards anyone and when they change or act as if they wasn’t what you had knew of from the start it really hurts :,) and when that pain doesn’t get any closure the pain it simmers down but it forever remains. it’s aching
I just found a string of theses type of videos. Just makes me tear up and realize alot. I miss these shows . Star . Adventure time . Steven so much others i just miss em..
I can't believe that everyone thinks that rose/pink Dimond is the bad guy. She didn't mean any harm! Her and Steven couldn't exist at the same time so she became part of him. She faked her sattering(death) for some reason.but she's still a good person.
This needs a million views
The first time I watched Steven Universe I thought Pearl’s “obsession” was annoying. The second time through I really tried to understand her, and I did. I realized that once you have someone in your life that truly makes you happy, you’d do anything to keep them safe. You wake up and you only ever think about them and how they’re doing. The emotions you feel are for them and are because of them. Putting someone in such high standards only to have them suddenly ripped away from you sounds like the most tragic and heartbreaking thing in the world. Being so close to them, you only ever knew how to live for them and now they’re gone. Everything that was ever meaningful in your life is now missing. Suddenly just being yourself is the hardest thing in the world, because the only thing that made you feel even remotely content will never return to you again. In the beginning Pearl was so misunderstood and now every time she cries or feels pain my heart hurts
I can't stop crying everytime i remember everything that Steven and Pearl had to live :,(
I cried so much
This reminds me of my brother who was fighting in the military
"What do you know, you didn't even meet her."
Kind of a stupid thing to say even if you're sad knowing full well he's the child who couldn't even embrace his mother

“I gave you all I had… I did.”
-Different story, 1899
Been a while this video was released and Steven Universe ended, just wanted to say that despite the simp jokes and horrible comments on Rose and Pearl. It always felt like both ends were burning, Rose was focused on everything not everyone, Pearl couldn't handle being herself near her. Everything this show and the movie went through felt like it was apart of real life routines as if this show grew up with you and it basically did and I think that's the saddest thing this show had to offer
I feel so bad for pearl man. Given to pink as a replacement, going through thousands of years believing she knew everything about her then along comes Greg and the following years just shatter her (metaphorically)
Seeing pearl cry reminds me of me when I’m sad- it reminds me that I don’t have to be perfect, just like how it reminds pearl that they aren’t perfect either
Wow, that's really pretty good:0
I’ve came back after 2 years and now I’m in tears i was 7 when SU came out and that helped me , thank you Rebecca for this show
This honestly needs more views
I don’t hate rose for 1 thing
And that thing is she reminds me to myself. I mean I’m not a magical space Humanoid Diamond who started a war,but when the show started to show rose.. I like.. kinda wanted to be like her,Kind,sweet and “perfect”.
And by being like her,believe it or not,I made lots of mistakes. I lost so much friends but I always keep smiling and being kind.
The things I made while trying to be like her.. jeez.. they are things that I’m not proud for and somehow.. I always manage to scape all those problems without being hurt Physically.. but i was a mess Emotionally..
Tho I’m still a mess but more melted. I mean you know,not so bad now
Alright. The point is that I can’t be mad at her.. because it’s something we would all do,something that we want to protect we do everything for it.. her actions.. her feelings.. are not from a Gem.. they are from a human..
That’s why I can’t hate rose.. because i feel her like a human. And humans make mistakes
You just made me stop hating her.

Cavetown and Steven Universe edits together hit different I'm gonna cry I miss this show
I can perfectly understand her, but instead of grieving with her friends and family she shut them out and practically deemed everyone else's relationship with rose as "not as special" 😞
well to be fair pearls relationship to rose was a lot stronger than everyone else’s, pearl was there in the beginning and pearl was in love with rose romantically even tho rose didn’t love ger back in the same way
my headcanon is that all rose quarts have healing tears as a result of the kindergarden they were made in, and as a second use if they're low on healers, they'll use a rose quartz
I believe that after what happened to her original Pearl, Rose never truly got attached to her second Pearl. Like I get the feeling she misses her original Pearl and the second Pearl was given to her to replace Pink Pearl but you can't just replace people you care about like that. And yeah, our Pearl came to love Rose, but Pearls are literally programmed to be obedient to their masters, why would Rose consider Pearl's feelings anything more than just her programming, Pearl only loved Rose because she was made to be Pink Diamond's Pearl, and Rose wanted nothing to do with how homeworld did things. Is it any wonder Rose fell in love with Greg? Greg wasn't put on this earth to love Rose but he chose her anyways, Greg had the freedom to make that choice
I grew up watching this show, and I don’t think I ever truly had a grasp on how tragic Pearl’s relationship with Rose was. From the beginning of her creation, Pearl had been by Rose’s side, and she really truly loved her for all that time. She spent her every living moment fighting and serving for her, doing everything she could to make her happy. That impossibly long duration, all those millennia they’d been together, and Pearl was confident they were inseparable.. only for Rose to fall for a human- one out of billions of others that existed on Earth- in a mere matter of months.
Steven Universe was a show I was very late to watch, as I have my full sense of reality and the real world, I realized how hard it is for all types of characters in the show, and I find some very emotional, but Pearl has a vibe that somehow seems like she wants Rose/Pink back, but theres only Steven
I usually don't cry at night anymore but this. This made my emotions burst like a bubble. Im not gonna lie im glad at least half of the emotions i bottled up are gone. I love this so much please don't delete this.
I love this I also feel so bad for pearl even thugh it’s nit a real person I still love her and I love this too
As a child, i honestly didnt take this stuff seriously. Like i thought this was all just plot and the drama was just building friendships. Here i am, older and absolutely sobbing over this cartoon show.
Oh my this is so pretty ♡
ive gone back to this video for years now
How pearl felt about rose was never about loyalty, it was about obsession because that was literally how she was created. Made with the sole purpose to serve pink diamond and nothing more. I mean we see how other pearls behave and act for the person they were originally created for. This only got worse as they grew closer with rose trusting and relying on her in ways she hadn’t and couldn’t with others, specifically all the things going on with the war. it grew to an unhealthy point that even garnet pointed it out in the episode pearl was teaching connie how to use a sword. I personally only see pearl finally beginning to grow past her obsession in the sequel; SU the future (or at least recognize that she never was as independent as she seemed to be as a rebel). My point is let’s not put this in a light that makes it seem positive. Pearl was only hurting herself with this behavior when it got so extreme
I just finished watching the whole series with my daughter, and at first Pearl was my least favorite of the Crystal Gems, but by the end she was my favorite of all the gems. I love her so much. She is such a deep character
You must be an amazing and intelligent mother
damn i miss the show so much, it was so good
pearl's one of the saddest characters on the show ..
Honestly I see a lot of 14 years older Steven,because of his mom. Since he was a little child they told him stories about her,he wanted to met her but...he couldn't.
That reminds me with my grandparents,my dad's parents,I never knew them,but I wish I could met them,somehow...and some of my father's relatives told me that I have the same face as my grandma,like they told Steven that he's like his mother...I see myself in him since I was 8.
Rose did love Pearl like how Pearl loved her, but there were things that couldn't be understood or fixed because Rose couldn’t see it and Pearl thought she wasn't worthy enough to bring it up. Rose didn’t make her feel like nothing, she was already feeling like that. Rose just gave her her first awakening to her own desires. Just my thoughts
Dude these scenes hit different. . . 😟
pov: your in high school, you've had a crush on your best friend for years, but she's straight. you just found out she's dating your brother who knew about your feelings for her, your upset, angry and in denial, you decide to try and win her back, but its clear she favours your brother over you.
two months into their relationship, your met with big news that your brother got her pregnant. she was kicked out of her parents house for being pregnant at such a young age, but you still are so deeply in love with her, so you offer for her to live with you and your family, who welcome her with open arms.
You decide to let her know about your feelings, but your brother forces you into keeping quiet, since they are still dating.
9 months later, she dies giving birth to your nephew
Your brother doesn't seem to care about his son and considers giving him up for adoption.
but this child is the only thing you have left of her
when you turn 18 you decide to adopt Your nephew from your brother. you get all the paperwork done and you are now the proud foster mother of him.
he reminds you so much of her, you sometimes wonder if she can see you through his eyes. he's so much like her, he sees beauty in everything, he's sympathetic, kind, bubbly, smart, loving, he loves animals, he loves ice cream, he's perfect, he's the what gives you the motivation to get up in the morning. you finally feel happy
This is not based on a true story, i just came up with it out of the blue and decided to post it
have a wonderful life
I hope that the people who hated her finally understood that rose/pink never expected for homeworld to have an interest on Earth again. After thousands of years (probably 5,300) scouting the Earth and cleaning up the remnants of the Gem War, it's normal for them to think that everything was over... That Homeworld gems were never gonna come back. She never knew about the Cluster deep inside the Earth. It was just unfortunate that her past caught up on Steven instead of her... When she finally tried to learn and love like a person, to give up her own existence for Steven.
As for her mistakes and actions as both Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz, she was just a normal person. From a childish, selfish and annoying Diamond, to a loving mother-figure and leader who cherished every moment in the present. She always envied humans for their ability to change and grow up, but in my opinion she already did that herself without realizing it.
Rip Steven universe
When I watched the last episodes in English as a German because Germany still hasn't shown them, I cried. I cried a bit. Because I firstly can't really express and show emotions plus when Steven turned into a monster it reminded me of nightmares about me turning into a monster because of depression, anger issues,, trust issues, strong mood swings etc (I actually got diagnosed with depression so that's why I'm saying it). So many kids get traumatized and can't say anything to someone because these days you can't trust anyone anymore. Everyone became selfish and unloving and untrustworthy. I'm glad that rare people with pure hearts still exist. Those are the angels which got sent to earth to help.
I'm crying
