>>84267735I mean, if it were done right I could enjoy it on some level, but I don't find it nearly as appealing as the alternative. For a few reasons.
1) It basically gives Steven a nuclear family. Which seems not only unnecessary, but counter to what the show has built up to this point
2) I really don't see the physical attraction there. We know they're both into large women, so why would they end up with a lithe gem and a stocky human, respectively?
3) I think a lot of the "moving on from Rose" is lost if Pearl ends up just banging her widower. It's like Pearl is just following in her footsteps once again.
4) At this point Pearl has learned to stand up for herself, on her own two feet. The last lesson Rose has to teach her is one of empathy, forgiveness, and moving on. Only the latter is supplied by her being with Greg.
But anyway, that's just me.
>>84267845I actually totally agree. I just think being able to trust yourself with another person, your heart, your vulnerability- I think that's part of being able to stand for yourself. Especially considering the near-worship Pearl seemed to devote to Rose, it seemed genuinely unhealthy on a certain level. And I don't think she can truly stand on her own until she moves past that.
But, yeah, again, I don't think Jaspearl will happen. I should make that clear. I would be blown away if the show actually took that direction. In fact, I really doubt any romance will happen. But yeah, here's hoping anyway.
