Jasper's reaction to Garnet has me thinking perhaps in gem society romantic love is generally discouraged and looked down upon. It must have been very hard for her when Rose fell in love with Greg. After realizing that, and I'm kicking myself for not seeing it sooner, it seems pretty obvious to me that at the very least, Pearl was sexually attracted to Rose.Ĭan I be an obnoxious pedant for a moment and point out that gems are an asexual species, so while we can talk about romance in similar terms to humans, strictly speaking they are probably unable to experience sexual attraction.ĪNYWAYS, yeah, I think the clear sexual symbolism and all of that finger interlacing stuff says an awful lot about Pearl's very specific kind of love for Rose. You don't usually hear it in context with scabbard, but a sheath is pretty common symbolism for a woman's sexuality/vagina. She held it close, got super defensive over it, and ran away with it. Rose's scabbard! Pearl saw that Lion had it and freaked. This was all dancing in my head when I remembered the episode title and the beginning of the episode. It seemed romantic to me, but at first I could see how it might just be a companionship. A couple more looks that she gives him seem like her weighing her old romantic attraction to Rose with her motherly instinct towards Steven, who contains the same soul. "Oh why would I ever want to go home, if you're here."Īnd then Steven (who is half Rose) hugs her and says he thinks she's pretty great, and she starts crying. "You.! Can't understand how I feel, none of you had what we had!" I was thinking about how a lot of the stuff Pearl said might imply a romantic relationship or at least attraction on her part. And I wasn't subscribed here (I am now!) so I don't know if you guys have talked about this much but I couldn't find anything specific. I don't keep up with the show super closely, I just happened to catch Rose's Scabbard on CN just now. SoundCloud for Aivi and Surasshu, the show's composers
