>>101455493You think that PD stayed away from Pearl out of fear that loving her too much would get her killed? Or maybe she just fell out of love when she felt like everything Pearl encouraged her to do was a major mistake. Maybe she felt homesick, but knew she could never admit what she had done.
So many possible explanations. One thing is certain, PD has been shown to have complex and conflicting (but overwhelmingly simple, like a child) feelings and loyalties. She also has been shown to have quite a temper and selfish side to her ("I WANT MY OWN ARMY! I WANT MY OWN PLANET! I DESERVE IT!"). I think people still idolize and put PD on a pedestal. She was a child version of a Diamond who got overly emotional and fucked up to the point of no return and extreme emotional trauma. She may have had a loving and caring side, but she was also confirmed to be selfish, jealous, vindictive, and spiteful.
I think Diamonds' colors indicate their personalities. Pink Diamond's true personality is an uncontrollable whirlwind of emotion. Blue is calm and stern, but also timidly afraid and lonely. Yellow's is commanding, logical, and authoritarian, but also soft and loving inside (she's not the traitor and she honestly seems torn up inside for what she believed she let happen to PD, thus the reason she feels such hatred and rage towards Rose for supposedly killing PD).
I honestly think PD was a child at heart who fucked up worse than any other kid could have ever (caused a war that led to an essential genocide) and got emotionally traumatized by such an event to the point where she could never forgive herself for what she had done. I think PD has been shown actually to be one of the most emotionally complex characters and people really aren't looking at her in the frame of reference they should be. How her true personality/standing at the time was and how this all likely affected her into her personality changing and her actions all being affected by this genocide-level guilt.
