  • So, I noticed how well my first chart did, and the positive responses it got.

  • So I made this one, matching up the Gems to what we know, and I assume about them.

  • Well, I was a peridot, so that means...

  • ...oh, come on!

  • I already have a previous video about Pearl,

  • but it's more like an idea towards her relationship with Rose.

  • In this video, I'd like to theorize as to how Pearl became a Crystal Gem.

  • If you exclude Rose, I believe Pearl was actually the first member of the Crystal Gems.

  • I know we all believe that Pearl was always with Rose and is in love with her,

  • while others think Pearl loves Rose more like a mother figure.

  • But if we -...but we all have to agree that Pearl had a somewhat blind devotion to Rose.

  • Even in the extended opening theme song,

  • while everyone sings about what they want and why they love and protect the Earth,

  • Pearl deviates and sings:

  • [singing] "I will fight in the name of Rose Quartz and everything that she believed in."

  • Like, seriously, Pearl, what did Rose do for you that makes you so obsessed over her?

  • With every passing episode, I start to believe less and less that Pearl had romantic feelings for Rose, because,

  • (A) Pearl would have long killed Greg if she was,

  • (B) She'd have hated Steven's guts,

  • although you can argue that he has parts of Rose in him,

  • and (C) Pearl has more of an obsession with Rose's trust in her than love in her.

  • "Why'd she keep so many secrets?

  • "She had to, Steven!"

  • "It's the mark of a great leader, knowing just what to keep hidden from everyone you're trying to protect."

  • "Everyone except me." [laughs]

  • I want to deviate a bit from my previous Pearl video and come up with a new one,

  • you know, to keep things spicy and interesting.

  • What if Pearl was a wanderer?

  • She mentions in "Space Race" that there's hundreds of Gem-controlled planets,

  • and that she'll always have memories of other worlds.

  • So we can conclude Pearl has seen a lot of the cosmos.

  • Now if you remove Rose from the equation and factor in what Jasper said about Pearl being lost,

  • Jasper: "Some lost, defective Pearl."

  • maybe "lost" is actually what he meant.

  • I'm sorry, but I see Jasper as more of a "he" than "she."

  • What if he meant Pearl was actually lost like she got separated from her owners,

  • or ran away from them, and she kept hopping from planet to planet trying to find her owners or find meaning to her life,

  • or in a more painful twist, no one wanted Pearl 'cause she functioned differently from regular Pearls?

  • No one wanted her 'cause she was defective.

  • This would explain a chunk of Pearl's negative personality,

  • 'cause on her wiki page, it states, "Pearl suffers from low self-confidence and self-esteem."

  • What can be more crushing than knowing that no one wants you?

  • And at the end of the day gets captured or whatever and forcefully assigned to Rose due to Pearl's expansive knowledge of things,

  • when Rose was probably sent to Earth.

  • And with all of us knowing Rose very well,

  • Rose must have treated Pearl as an equal and not a common property.

  • And now I'm going to deviate from what I previously said about Pearl not loving Rose

  • 'cause of a quote-unquote "confirmation" tweet by show writer Matt Burnett.

  • You can argue about the tweet in the comment section below about what he might actually mean,

  • 'cause I don't think it confirms anything.

  • But going on that meager information, if Pearl loves Rose, then that's her only reason for joining the Crystal Gems.

  • She blatantly looks down on humans and humanity in general and sees no beauty in the things about Earth.

  • I mean, look at her expression as she says this:

  • "It's fine. I'll always have my memories of other worlds."

  • "But now I'm here, on Earth, forever."

  • You don't have to be here, Pearl.

  • "Oh, Steven. Humans just lead short, boring, insignificant lives so they make up stories to feel like they're a part of something bigger."

  • "They want to blame all the world's problems on some single enemy they can fight, instead of a complex network of interrelated forces beyond anyone's control."

  • "It's sad. And funny."

  • Seriously!

  • Pearl's story is sad, a close runner-up to Amethyst's, if you ask me.

  • and despite Pearl's attitude to humanity, she suffers from severe personality disorder.

  • She has the worst personality traits humans have to offer.

  • Pearl is sad, she's tormented, she's jealous, she's filled with resentments and sometimes self-loathing.

  • If you say Amethyst has social issues and problems with self-acceptance,

  • you can bet Pearl has that with a shit-ton more.

  • I mean, if Pearl wasn't so smart and put-together, she'd be a hot freaking mess.

  • She looked for acceptance, learned a lot of tricks and trades to find purpose, and she hungers to find meaning in her life.

  • If we recall in "Sworn to the Sword," Pearl mentions she was only a few thousand years old when she fought alongside Rose,

  • indicating she was probably very young.

  • If Pearl really was abandoned at such a young age, it would really explain why she's the way she is and also bring to light some concepts about why she loved Rose.

  • On a side note, Rose probably didn't feel the same way towards Pearl 'cause she was probably way older than her.

  • That's the only explanation I can come up with, that and probably 'cause Rose just didn't feel the same way.

  • And is that's the case, then Lord knows the age gap between her and Greg.

  • Well, that's it for this series of "Story for Steven." I've already done everything I can about Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl.

  • But I do have a couple of other ideas I wanted to splash in there,

  • so if you guys want me to do more, just let me know in the comments below 'cause I have so many theories.

  • There's one about, um, Greg sleeping with Amethyst.

  • I want to know what's going on with Lapis and Peridot,

  • and a heck load of others.

  • So, thank you all for watching, this is TVC signing out.

So, I noticed how well my first chart did, and the positive responses it got.
