Guys, I've been thinking about those lines "what we really are" and I had a strange thought:
ever since we learned pearls are not gems but made to order servants, we as a fandom seem to have decided that they were basically robot servants, but when you look at it, every gem is basically a robot in a way. Pearls are honestly the only organic gems out there.
Have we actually considered the possibility that Pearls were actually the original gems? that they created the gem race as their servants but were overthrown by their own creations?
>>82619367peridot was sympathetic because she was weak, she was at a major disadvantage with every single person she interacted with except for steven. Every battle for here was a narrow escape where she clearly had no idea how her weapons worked, how to fight, or what the hell was going on. She thought "Stevens" were a race and confused a crying breakfast friends sticker for some imperial sigil. Even at her worst she was a goofy villain. Every time Jasper appears however, she is a fucking terror
