This is an old video and also on patreon so I doubt this is gonna get seen but I gotta say it: regardless of how Rose felt about Pearl (and I strongly disagree on that point but that's not the main thing here), Rose was still the most important person in Pearl's life for *thousands* of years, and I think maybe it's reasonable that like 6000 years of feelings between them haven't been fully sorted out within 14 years of Rose's death.

2026-02-14 21:55:44 +0000 UTCafter all those years, i'm still crying every time i see mr greg... pearl's song just breaks me and brings me back to a time when i was a closeted queer teenager in love with their bff while she was seeing other people and i never got to confess any of those feelings... i grew a lot but damn pearl is my favourite since day 1... she's trying her best and she's flawed but that's why i love her so much

2025-12-24 14:38:21 +0000 UTCBY FAR THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SHOW - Mr Greg. Most songs in a single episode.

2025-12-21 22:18:51 +0000 UTCHonestly both of Pearls Stand out songs thus far, "Do it for Her" and "It's over Isn't It" Are basically both sides of the relationship. Do it for Her being Pearl's side of the relationship, a chivalrous knight for her proud rebellion leader that serves so dutiful and was beloved because of her ability to serve! While It's Over shows that Rose just... didn't love her the same way, the love was entirely one sided and not reciprocating, Rose loved Pearl the exact same way she loved all of the crystal gems, so that when somebody that she actually loved, a human that unlike the past human's was willing to put in the work to have a real relationship (Hence pearl's quip in a previous episode "I think He's her favorite too...") she basically melted down and wasn't able to cope with it, so much so that it poisoned her entire relationship with Greg for over 15 years (I don't think it's ever been said HOW long exactly Rose and Greg were together before creating Steven). Both songs absolutely beautiful in how sad they actually are when you actually like resonate with the song and how tragic both of them are. Do it for her, Rose never stopped or made clear to Pearl that she didn't share affection because Pearl was so caught up in the 'If I'm useful she'll love me more!" Mentality, while It's Over shows that there never really WAS anything there, just delusions that persisted for FAR too long and haunted her. Rose's mistakes are effectively at the core of both of them because she never really had any talk with Pearl about not feeling that same way, and seemingly just let it happen and had zero clue of the damage she caused to Pearl when Greg came around. We're really entering the 'Steven helps all the Gems unpack their trauma and work through it' Arc now lads!

2025-12-20 07:21:53 +0000 UTCI don't know if she's done it already, but I wanna hear Alicia's reaction to the full version of the outro that's been playing piecemeal over S1-3. (maybe advertise that the patreon has the extra content... *wink-nudge*)

2025-12-19 05:48:54 +0000 UTCI am going to say cause it is weird the BI woman is not grasping this. Pearl and Rose were a Item. They did date and all that. Greg legit came in and kinda home wrecked the situation. We are at point that if Pearl said that one I don't think CN in 2013 will allow that, that need like 5 more years and it is basically because of this show that CN more conformable LGBTQ. Two, anymore outright is just clumsy and not really in Pearl's Character. This not unrequited love. There interview that is asked about Pearl love for Rose Rebecca sugar and writing team confirm this.

2025-12-18 17:22:31 +0000 UTCThis episode reminded me of the old drama that came from the idea of Pearl and Greg as a couple, which originated from some old sketches from when the staff were playing around with ideas for the show
