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!

I could see this being in the show. Pearl wanting to be valued just like the other gems, even going as far as becoming something she wasn't. But, Rose came along and taught her that it's better be different than just one of a set. Pearl wanted to be a better gem for Rose, be more like her. Pearl would give up everything for Rose, even her home that she made herself love. Pearl has shown that she misses home world, so that kind of makes me think that it isn't all bad and heartless. Maybe there are a few things there that are beautiful and kind like Rose. Or it could just be that Pearl misses it because she was trained to love it. Maybe she was programmed or taught to love her home world despite the way it treated her. She only defied this for Rose, but when she gave up her physical form and was no longer there, Pearl began to question her decision, not because she regretted following Rose, but because now she was stuck on earth, away from her home without Rose. But after she began to love Steven, even though she still missed her home world, she found a new reason to stay. Rose was perfect in Pearl's eyes, therefore anything Rose did or made was perfect, ie Rose's decision to fight for earth and Steven. All of the gems love Steven so much because he is Rose's son and all that is left of her, and he shows every day how much like his mother he is. He is her legacy.

Yeah I can see it too, also this would be put into the category of episodes that made me sob, so far the gems in the home world sound/seem "perfect" but at the same time the crystal gems all seem to have "flaws" these flaws we consider being human.

Very true. The crystal gems do seem to be more human than other gems.

A lot more human, the next case is Lapiz Lazuli she thinks a little more than the home world gems however she's less human to say. She's been trapped for so long she thinks of vengeance and when sacrificing herself she made jasper her prisoner but then again sacrifice is the most someone could ever do

endri34 In reply to Sonicsis [2015-03-17 13:32:32 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I felt sorry for Lapis when that happened. I think she did that, not only to get revenge for so many people keeping her prisoner for so long, but because she genually wanted to save and protect Steven, the only person to ever help her.

I know, I spell it wrong. It's just a thing I do sometimes. I know it's spelled Lapis, but I just spell it Lapiz.

Sonicsis In reply to endri34 [2015-03-24 01:14:47 +0000 UTC]

in spanish "Lapiz" means pencil. Imagine a lead gem
Also I forget to spell Lapis Lazuli's name

Maybe the "defect" is that she feels compassion and other such emotions.

Very true since it seems most of the homeworld gems are pretty heartless

"When it was discovered that I was...different...things didn't go well. Some Gems wanted to break my gem and start over, others wanted to take me apart to figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually I decided it would be better if I just acted emotionless like all the other Pearls in my production line. That was until I met your mother."

"Some lost, defective Pearl, a puny, overcooked runt, and this shameless display?".

Jasper's words say so much about herself and the homeworld.

Sonicsis In reply to metaXzero [2015-03-14 17:10:09 +0000 UTC]

It sounds very cold the home world. Gems are supposed to be perfect and superior beings.
To us Humans we see gems are the most beautiful and perfect things in the world which is why we make them so valuable, I believe that was the concept of Steven Universe.
But no matter what Jasper or any of the gem home world say The crystal Gems are adorable and magnificent!
