Description
“And you’re just a defective Pearl!”
When Jasper said those words it made me wonder how actual Pearls like. Now maybe it was mentioned in one of the episodes (which I missed sadly) but what if real Pearls are supposed to calculate every single detail and are flawless in every way.
Our Pearl is very intelligent however there are many times when her calculations are off such as the Space rocket, and the device to defeat Period’s orbs.
Also I assume Pearls have to be mentally stable but in our Pearl’s case she can overreact or have a hard time maintaining herself like when Pearl and Amethyst released the shards from Rose Quartz’s bubble and when they revisit Rose Quartz garden to when Pearl fails she would start laughing and stating stuff like “could have been worse”.
I dunno that’s what I think but Our Pearl is still our adorable Pearl~
[Update] FINALLY ONE OF MY THEORIES ARE CORRECT!

Did you hear of the theory that Pearl is "defective" because she knows how to fight? The theory is basically about how pearls are supposed to be a sort of servant or technical caste of gem society and thus were never meant to learn how to fight. However, Pearl clearly knows how to fight if she summoned her weapon, which makes her defector from her original role, which was likely to be a sort of servant to Rose Quartz.

yeah someone has brought that to my attention recently and I find it really cool

The more episodes come out the more it seems to disprove my theory but whatevs, it was cool at the time!

You know, I just recently discovered this fan theory and am surprised by how popular it is. It makes a lot of sense, really. I agree with all your points.
Also, notice how Pearl's pearl is oval shaped. Most pearls are circular spheres. This could add to her being defectiv

I heard that one as well, fan theories are always fun to read, and even more exciting when they do add up.

I think it's just because Pearl is really loyal, then she changed sides and went against her original side.

that's a really interesting theory, and I like this pic.

I always wondered why Jasper said "a defective Pearl"

could be, that's what I imagine

Can't wait to find out!

I HAVE MY HOPES HIGH FOR THIS BEING CANON. But i can imagine every pearl looking different, because actual pearls form differently. They can be small, rounder, or maybe even entirely different from our pearl. I dont know i just really like this theory

We can only find out in future episodes (but we're on haitus DX)

She did seem like a second-in-command to Rose. Remember the "Rose's Scabbard" episode?

Maybe pearls aren't free thinking. They could just be troops who obey every command, and the Pearl we know is the only free thinking one.

Well someone mentioned that Pearls are essentially round however our Pearl is oval

All the pearls in this picture are oval

this was before I found out about actual pearls being round

Pearls are kinda easy (at least compared to gemstones) to make artificially being organic not geological in origin like all the other Gem we've seen, and you know, the more I look at her "spear" the more I think, it looks like a drill. Who says she was made as a fighting unit? pearls in real life are not stones at all and are much easier to break then say quartz.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That makes a lot of sense. Now that you mention a drill maybe Pearls were the first miners drilling up gems
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
humm, assuming Gems form like real life gemstones and the kindergarten apparatus is just a way to speed it up, then the position of "miner", while also important for metals, would be more like a human position of "nurse". Someone has to get young Gems out of the ground.
And on that note (i'm on a roll!) gems grow very, very slowly, taking millions of years for some of them, so we have to assume a very, very low "birth" rate, hence those gems shards we see in frybo, some kind of way to help keep the organic races of the galaxy, with much higher birth rates then gems at bay? it was used to make armor, and in manual labor jobs, factory worker, miner, low grade stuff, having a robot, or in this case Pearls, perform the task so you can free up a much more valuable "proper" gem to do important tasks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(nice!) I completely forgot about Frybo, now that I think about it, they were just shards, minerals can fuse together to create another mineral. Maybe the shards are the main factor of Gem creation. Also looking back the color of the shards and the color of the gems on top of the gem technology back in kindergarten seem very familiar.
These theories are getting better and better every time!

Well, to grow gems artificially you need a fragment of a "proper" gem stone, called the seed, for the rest of the gem to grow around it. So if we go to the hypothesis that "gems take a while to grow naturally" shards would be the starting point for the kindergarden, assuming there gems follow the rules for regular gem stone (heh, I can now see the Crystal gems freaking out the first time they saw jewelry). I went back to the kindergarden scene and the gems on the "Virus" machines was red, while Frybo's shard was blue, I don't see a connection other then coming from the same source.
If you think these Theories are good you should hear my head canon about who Rose Quartz fought against.

(omg xD)
What about the multiplier back in "Fair Trade" that multiplied everything, they could easily make multiple
I'd love to hear your rose quartz theory^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would not trust that Multiplier thing to make gem shards, it may be able to copy something, but with gems you need to copy things down to the literally molecular level, i'm not sure that duplicate has the ability to get that detailed considering the objects it makes are clearly magical since they go "poof" when the copier does.
as for rose quartz, well it's not my idea on her, but it's more a highly unsupported hand canon about the other side of that war, most of the gem theory's i have don't really have a place to be posted, if i ever do i'll point the link out to you, likely be somewhere where on deviant art if i ever get my act together and write my head canons down.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe the multiplier was used for the battle between homeworld and the crystal gems? Multiplying as many soldiers as needed, but they were probably cheap. Quantity over quality I guess.
If you ever do I would be glad to read^^ It might spoil something like Garnet being a fusion, but I think it's cool when someone was on the right track
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh thanks for being so eager i suppose, caused me to get my own theory more in order and actually write the bloody thing down,, I think I'll note you my head canon if your OK with being my sounding board to see if my thoughts are all in order and my logic matches up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe no problem^^
Sure you can note your theories^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(cracks fingers) alright mate, you asked for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Plenty fine, I asked for it^^
I agree with you, Rose quarts being Rose Diamond changing it to quartz in order to earn respect among her people, I thought the same thing myself but the possibility of a lower class gem never struck my mind. I think another theory to help back up your Rose diamond theory is that unlike the other gems Rose has 2 weapons, her shield and her sword.
I really like your head cannons
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks! So you did not find any logical flaws in the idea i put up? no holes in the theory?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So far I haven't seen any, your head cannons can be accurate throughout the entire series or maybe some might get flawed from future episodes but for now your head cannons seem very accurate
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
good to hear, if i find a place to post it up I'll let you know. thanks for double checking my logic for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you^^
Of course anytime^^ It's interesting to read, and interesting to keep in mind for future steven universe episodes
