“Rose is horrible for not loving Pearl back!” “She NEVER acknowledged that love!!” “How could she choose Greg over her!??” “and then left them all to become Steven!?!” “She didn’t have to give up her gem!!” “She could have had him ‘normally’!!”
I’m sorry you’re all so hurt, but…. here’s another thing?
Pearl’s love for Rose was toxic in its co-dependency. She needed Rose’s approval to feel any kind of self-worth. Rose wanted Pearl to be her own person, to love someone for their own sake, like Mystery Girl, not because she has a toxic need to.
Pink had a Pearl. Her very own. That’s like feeding a love potion to someone; of course they will love you; they were literally made for you. Doesn’t Pink deserve to know a complete stranger can love her, like Greg? Not to mention, there is a creep-factor here now; If she could tell Pearl not to speak of something again, what else could she tell Pearl to do against her will? I don’t think Pink wanted that, wanted a relationship with that kind of power over someone– And that is the best fucking thing about her:
She did NOT want power over anyone, unlike Yellow and Blue. She just wants to be free. If that isn’t redeeming enough for you…
Think this shit through pls SU fandom, these Utopian Loves between some of these characters were toxic af from the very beginning. All of this conflict needed to happen for things to improve.
