Okay, it’s very rare that I make my own posts, but something’s been bothering me ever since we found out about Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond, and yet no one else seems to be talking about it. Even with the newer episodes only enforcing my theories.
I’m talking about Pearl’s colour scheme
Let’s take a look at her outfit
Here she is, and she has notable pink hair, pink socks, and a faint pinkish hue to her skin, fitting of Pink Diamond’s Pearl.
BUT
She also has a lot of white, which makes sense with the theory that she used to be White Diamond’s Pearl
But… there’s also a lot of blue. And a lot of yellow.
You could say that’s because she’s a rebel now, and her main storyline is that she doesn’t belong to anyone
But even as Pink’s servant on Homeworld, she wore those colours
Lots of pink, yes, but still, a good amount of her outfit is white, yellow and blue.
Let’s take a look at the other Pearl’s outfits
Yellow and Blue both stick to the same colour scheme as their respective diamonds, as expected of them
The same goes with White Pearl, even when she was still her original self, she wore a heavy amount of pink hues, and sticks to grayscale when working for White.
So why is Pearl wearing the colours of all four courts?
If she were Pink’s, her colours should match the original
And if she were White’s, she should be white and grey.
Where do Blue and Yellow come in?
Perhaps… she is not White OR Pink’s?
What if she is a Rainbow Pearl?
And I know that already sounds like a Mary Sue gemsona, but here me out.
Rainbow pearls are a real form of pearl,
They are a sturdier, more metallic form of Pearl, that reflects many hues of light. You can see the variety of colour in the reflections. Fitting of a Pearl who wears so many colours, despite her role.
Plus, we already know that for whatever reason, Pink Pearl broke, and was turned into White Diamond’s Pearl, meaning Pink needs a new Pearl to replace her broken one.
So perhaps they made her a whole new one, a superior Rainbow Pearl, as a gift for the most likely heartbroken, young Pink Diamond.
EDIT
Another thing that supports this is the fusion between Rose and Pearl.
When Pearl and Rose fuse, they don’t become Pink Quartz, or White Quartz, they’re Rainbow Quartz. Where does the Rainbow part come from? Pearl.
There’s probably many flaws in my theory, but, I just felt like it all need to be said.
Sure, relationships typically start with a honeymoon phase that then grows into something deeper but a bit more mellow if things work out, but it’s depressing as fuck that this has turned into a really, really common script for straight relationships that says it’s totally normal and inevitable for dudes to just become more and more emotionally checked out of the relationship, and leave it to their girlfriend/wife to perform if she wants to get even a crumb of affection from him. I’m so fucking tired of seeing women constantly being taught that decades of emotional neglect is just our lot in life.
what “getting out of the honeymoon phase” should mean: you aren’t joined at the hip anymore and can spend time apart, but you still greatly enjoy eachother’s company and deliberately make time to be together. you’re not just a unit, you’re a matched set (like, you’re susan and bob rather than susanandbob). you start to see eachother’s flaws and don’t put eachother on a pedestal but instead love eachother as human beings, flaws and all.
what it should NOT mean: you barely talk anymore. you feel like two completely different people, tied together by a frayed thread. you’re annoyed by eachother’s flaws and don’t like to be around eachother
similarly: “relationships are hard, they take a lot of work” means that cooperation on a daily basis in both the practical and emotional realms takes conscious effort. you can’t coast on those honeymoon feelings forever, and you aren’t psychic, so you have to pay attention and communicate so you can honor each other’s wants and needs.
it should not mean that you’re fighting every two days or walking on eggshells to avoid the anger of an unreasonable partner or breaking your back trying to get the slightest sign of affection or respect from someone who’s checked out and doesn’t care about you.
This is so, so important. Dont keep investing in a relationship thats not giving back. You deserve to be heard, you deserve at the very least communication.
there she goes again, daydreaming about her future house and how she’ll decorate it knowing she can’t afford a house in this economy ever. and by she i mean me.
