    Pearl has had a lot of dark moments in Steven Universe, but Rebecca Sugar revealed something that may have been too much for the animated series, as the creator shared sketches of Pearl shapeshifting into Greg Universe in an attempt to win over her true love, Rose Quartz. While this is already messed up, it has some insane implications, so not only do I wanna touch on this concept art but the other two instances of Pearl shapeshifting in the series, to stage Pink Diamond's shattering and a game of Steven Tag, to illustrate how shapeshifting has been reflective of her growth throughout the series!

    It doesn’t surprise me. Pearl was made for rose. She dedicated her entire life to her and put her entire self worth into her and was willing to do anything to keep it. She still tried to find rose inside Steven, as she literally attempted to remove Steven’s gem from him when he was a baby. Pearl was always the darkest crystal gem of them all who initially came off as someone who was the most “pure” at the beginning of the show.

      Have you ever seen Young Justice? You just reminded me of a particular episode where Artemis and Zatanna are stalked by a sword-wielding psychopath who calls himself Harm. Harm never acknowledges them as people, only ever referring to them both as “it” and he always refers to himself in the third person.
      By the final act we eventually find out his sword ‘could only be wielded by one with a pure heart’, so in order for him to become pure of heart he got rid of the only thing he ever loved … which just happened to be his younger sister (Greta), who spends to episode helping the two heroes dodge her demented brother (as an extra creepy she only repeats the word ‘secret’ over and over again). Only at the end when confronted with his actions at Greta’s grave, and her finally appearing to him, he breaks for a second yelling “Harm isn’t sorry! *I’m* not!” remember he’s only referred to himself in third person to this point.
      Anyway Greta takes something out of his chest and the sword shuts down, apparently him showing even a slither of remorse meant he was no longer pure of heart and the sword rejected him, leading to the heroes defeating him and Greta’s spirit moving on.
      I think this was an eery but interesting take on the ‘pure of heart’ trope: because I think in this instance it meant treating all things equally, Harm was killing everyone regardless of who they were or how he felt about them … I’m still not entirely sure, I’d need to rewatch it.
      Thanks for making me relive the chills 😅😅😅

      It makes a lot of sense for her though, she was made to serve her diamond, so during this time, she’s set in her own ways like the diamonds, so Rose *inevitably was going to find someone other than pearl.*
      That’s why pearl struggled the most with rose, because she’s the one that told Pearl to never _speak_ of her past, and why pearl struggled the most to develop as a character

      She’s my favorite character because she truly shows how much gem culture was hard to get out of. She couldn’t break her diamond’s last order’s despite her desire to tell Steven. Thats why she had to show steven
      She’s not a good person when she obsesses over people like Rose/PD and over homereorld, but she’s not a bad person because she learned to love Steven and move on from Rose Quartz

      I thought they confirmed already it was because of Amethyst. It's clear Amethyst and Greg were flings in that episode were they were watching Little Butler together. As a kid it goes over our heads, but as an adult we get more hints as to what they did (like the cat carrier) beyond just watching the show. They probably helped each other cope after Rose's passing. It's possible Amethyst shape shifted into Rose one night because to her that's how she walks in one's shoes and Greg put his foot down.

    Yeah, I can see how this didn't get past the concept stage.
    Not only is the implication that Pearl blatantly tries replacing Greg by being him a bit TOO depressing for a kid's show, the fact Rose ENTERTAINS her so long as she isn't Greg implies not only was she fully aware of Pearl's feelings, but was willing to allow Pearl to express them to her behind Greg's back (which yeah, could be explained away as she doesn't understand the concept of monogamy, but that's a VERY touchy subject when the person she's doing it to is human AND knows what's what).

    • @gota7738

      To be fair I never got the impression that Rose and Greg strongly saw their relationship as monogamous (or at least that Sugar does), but Pearl clearly wanted her and Rose to be (but can't express it) and that's where the love triangle came in.
      Of course they had a hard enough time getting the gay couples on screen.

      @gota7738 God Gem stuff is complicated xD. The only argument I can think of that kinda absolved Pink/Rose in the sense of Pearl's feelings is that she was just as new to expressing oneself as other gems. I think she understood the concept of fondness (hence why she played with specific gems and liked keeping organics as pets), but not the concept of affection (until she met Greg at the very least). That isn't to say her outright ignorance towards Pearl was excused (they spent literally thousands of years together, with Pearl sacrificing everything for her Diamond), but it kinda makes sense as to why A. Pearl wouldn't just tell her she loved her and B. Rose does not understand the mechanics of romantic attachment.

      Most definitely, and Greg was possibly the very first human love interest she shape shifted into out of pure desperation in keeping Rose's romantic attention. Until now all she had to do was wait until Rose got bored of her human "pets" and came back to Pearl.
      But Greg didn't leave, and Rose only got even more invested in him. Now Rose is talking more and more about babies and Greg is STILL in the picture. Yeah I can believe 100% Pearl went into crisis mode and did the one thing she swore never to do. Only to take the form of the human she absolutely loathed the most if only it meant Rose would finally leave Greg once in for all.
      Really messed up, but would have loved to see it unfold in an episode ❤!

    I don't think it was cancelled for being too dark. Amethyst taking the form of a dead character was way darker. Adding the implication of human sx is your own presumption which I don't really like. The most probable reason it was not included was that it already happened with Amethyst, so it would be redundant to do a similar scene for Pearl. It's way better for Pearl to be consistent with her traumas of shapeshifting.

      I like to think not about the human intimacy but more so that Pearl felt likes he was being replaced by a newer shinier model. It's has so many things about Pearl's personality around that time and her emotional attachment to pink rose. It's dark yes but incredibly traumatizing

      Her and Greg were together at the time so she was basically agreeing to cheating on Greg with Pearl if Pearl turned back to normal. While nice she didn’t want Pearl to pretend to be Greg, still bad for being okay with cheating on the person she’s with.

    What is interesting to me is that line from Rose really begs the big question, did Rose change from who she was as Pink?
    It is constantly argued we saw her growth in reverse, but things like Bismuth being sealed away for an eternity matching what happened to Spinel or other such parallels has always made it questionable if she actually grew. If this episode wasn't cut we'd have a clearer picture of her.
    How Rose handled something like this would show her growth or lack of it incredibly well in theory.

    Pearl was literally created to be codependent AND she disdained humans and thought they were just temporary toys for Rose's entertainment. At this point in time, she probably didn't view Greg as a full person, just as Rose's favorite plaything, and so thought that shapeshifting into him would win Rose back to "her side" ("look Rose, I can be everything you want me to be!"). Pearl probably never even entertained the thought that Rose could like Greg in the same way Pearl liked Rose, and she was wwaaaayyyyy too possessive of Rose to consider that Rose could have interests and friendships that did not involve Pearl

    One of the questions that I've been pondering is what will happen when Steven finally dies. Would Rose come back as her old self, or will she shapeshift into Steven and will continue to live as him? Would she have any of his memories? I think probably not since Steven's memories are stored in his brain, and when he dies, so does his brain. I do believe that Rose is still inside Steven but wrapped in his fleshy body. When White Diamond took out Steven's gem, that was actually Pink Diamond reforming, but she decided to take Steven's shape. Will she do the same when he dies? I hope you'll read this.
