Jasper's Pearl!? - Steven Universe

[@jrace4179]

Pearls are ORGANIC gems, so not only are they created differently from other gems but other organic gems eg: Ambers, Corals, Ivorys and Jets might also be treated as 2nd class gems.

[@jrace4179]

@Instrumentality1000 That would make a lot of sense, Pearls are like the Rolex watches while for example, Corals are more like Casio watches, they do their jobs well enough but lack the prestige that Pearls give to their owners.

[@hauntedtoast9610]

That’s an interesting thought! Maybe since homeworld sees organic life as inherently inferior, gems that are partially that get treated as second class. Because if you think about it, it could’ve been any gem type that was chosen to serve- it’d make sense to have some kind of reason or connection.?This is such a clever suggestion!

This is an excellent observation! It would have been much more interesting if the Diamond Courts used different Organic Gems - Ivory for White, Coral for Pink, Amber for Yellow, and Jet for Blue; with Pearls being >special

[@helenanilsson5666]

I once dreamed up some headcanon about Ambers being proto-Pearls specifically for Yellow's court: elongated, kind of pear-shaped bodies, less "useful" than Pearls, mostly lounged around as sentient decorations occasionally singing the praise of Yellow Diamond. Then some fuckwit invented the secretly hypercompetent living dolls/smartphones we know as Pearls, so Yellow Diamond hoarded up one Pearl of every shade of Yellow and tossed out all the Ambers.

I doubt they kill the masterless Pearls.

Also an orange Pearl with stripes and fiery clothing? Sign me the hell up

[@BunW.Bun21774]

I feel like when a pearls owner is gone for too long, they're seized and given to another gem of the same type or of equal status. Homeworld creates gems for a specific purpose, and with pearls being made to order servants like peridot said, it's not too farfetched to assume there's a management system in place to keep tabs on who their owners are as well as their whereabouts when off Homeworld. Sapphire was on earth and in the answer she predicted she would be poofed and would reform on Homeworld. If I had to guess, her pearl was probably waiting for her there, possibly in a room similar to that of a diamond, but on a smaller scale. But when Sapphire escaped with Ruby to earth, her pearl was possibly seized and given to another sapphire or a gem of equal status. As for Jasper having a pearl, I can see it as she helped in the war and was the only perfect gem to appear within the beta kindergarten. So maybe after the war was thought to be over, she received one, possibly in the way a soldier within the military would receive a medal for their service. Sorry this was so long. I had to get my thoughts out. Loved the video.

Well we know that lower caste gems have "managers" that organise them, as YD was going to inform Peridot's manager of her incompetence.

[@vixiestarfire]

I don't think she has a pearl simply because I think that no matter how "perfect" Jasper may seem, I think that because she is still a quartz gem that they would disregard her to possibly ever have a pearl. She doesn't have the proper status just because of her gem type, not because of how she turned out so well.

[@tori6056]

I agree, but there may be an exception for gems that accomplish amazing tasks in the name of homeworld. And jasper is a war hero in the eyes of home world, so perhaps she was awarded one for her service

[@harukano9930]

I think a nice question is what would a soldier gem need a Pearl for? The Pearl would be pretty useless in combat (our Pearl is an exception with the fighting abilities she learned). So I don't think a soldier gem really needs a normal Pearl's abilities.

[@slauderek3195]

I agree. No way a soldier has a pearl. She isn’t really seen as perfect in Homeworld eyes. If she had a pearl where was it during jailbreak? She was assigned TO peridot as well. Why would a jasper so praised to get a pearl be following orders from a peridot. Jaspers fight wars and a pearl is not going to help in that. This theory is complete bs and slice knows that. I only sub to these channels for news. Their theories are 90% of the time complete shit. That’s because they need the KZbin money so they make a video in every single thing. Theories that no one cares about or that people already know like “Does rose love pearl” and every kid on the site eats this all up and acts like slice is the greatest KZbin and has the best theories

[@baraxor]

If a mere Ruby like Eyeball thought it possible that she'd get a Pearl for killing "Rose Quartz", then a Quartz Warrior like Jasper could certainly have one if her Diamond superiors felt her exploits merited one. A Gem from one of the strata just below the Diamonds like a Morganite, Hessonite or Emerald would probably have a Pearl if they were in any kind of administrative command position. A Gem of the level of a Quartz warrior (officer-tier) or lower would only have a Pearl as a special reward.

[@baraxor]

Slauderek Jasper was not under the orders of Peridot; quite the contrary. Jasper overrode Peridot's previous orders so as to get back to Homeworld with "Rose Quartz", and the Ruby Squad were sent to find the "commander of the Earth expedition", i.e. Jasper. If you want to argue about whether Jasper actually deserved a Pearl in the eyes of Yellow Diamond, one could ponder the apparent non-sequitur of Jasper having the reputation of being the ultimate Quartz warrior, taking out dozens of Crystal Gem enemies, and yet apparently never faced Rose Quartz herself...was this due to unfortunate circumstances or to an abundance of caution on the part of the Diamonds? Finally, if you're pointing out the absence of Jasper's supposed Pearl on the Handship, I'll merely mention in turn that neither Blue nor Yellow Pearls were apparently aboard their Diamond mistresses' ships in Reunited.

[@thefinalfrontear]

I imagine if a Pearl’s owner was missing for too long, they would be bubbled and stored until the owner returned (which may end up being indefinite... there’s probably some storage area somewhere full of bubbles pearls with missing masters). Gems live a really, really long time. I think even a few thousand years isn’t enough for Homeworld to assume a Gem is dead or otherwise permanently gone. Also, they don’t exactly have families, so I doubt inheritances are a thing. With how literally objectified Pearls are, i think it’s easier to compare them to a valuable than a person. If you disappeared for a few years but were still liked by your family, it’d be kind of shitty of them to give away your Xbox or something just after a few months. I think if a pearl would only be reassigned if their master was deemed a criminal or otherwise unhonorable, because then the gem would have lost rank and be no longer deserving of a pearl. Given that the Diamonds tend to erase all traces of imperfection, I wouldn’t be surprised if pearls belonging to traitorous gems were rejuvenated in order to wipe their memory. This is also under the assumption that the pearl is innocent and wasn’t connected to whatever their owner did to break Homeworld’s laws. If the gem is known to be shattered, their pearl is effectively masterless and will probably be reassigned without rejuvenation.

[@MargaretRodriguez9GenY]

Wow! You know, I never even thought of that! Yeesh, a can of worms indeed. I wouldn't put it past Jasper to both have and be proud to have a Pearl. But Sapphire, I don't know. I wouldn't mind Sapphire having a Pearl, because it could show further depth in her character growth. Or since it has been so long since Sapphire dropped the fact she had a Pearl it can show, like all beings, she still has things about herself she needs to work out. It will be interesting to see if this is ever brought up in the show.

[@rosessurrectionsuperthorny526]

I also think that Pearls a specially made for a gem so after a while a Pearl is bubbled until their master returns or if they have a rebel master then they are shattered

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

P.E.R. If Jasper was a war hero in Homeworld's eyes (considering how much Eyeball gloats over her, we can assume that that's true), and Pearls are awarded as a way of acknowledging what they've done, then it's more than possible that Jasper would have one. But, considering Jasper's lack of empathy, it might be better for her Pearl that Jasper is currently trapped on Earth. Am I alone in thinking that?

[@MargaretRodriguez9GenY]

*Rose* *Bears*- That sounds like a pretty plausible scenario. I hope they elaborate further on this subject. *Cheshire* *Cat* *5732*- Eh, it's kinda hard to say since we still don't know all the odds and ends of a Pearls treatment on Home World, much less a master less Pearl. I mean, what if all master less Pearls get shattered or end up like White Diamonds Pearl. So although, I'm sure our big cheeto puff wouldn't exactly be nice to a Pearl, it's hard to say if Jasper's possible Pearl is better off. Also, for a side bar, what if Jasper's Pearl would be treated worse than an average Pearl. Because lets face it, Jasper maybe a war hero and may have some respect for being the only "perfect" gem to come out of Pink Diamond's brigade, but she still doesn't really fit in with the rest of Home World's gems. And I wouldn't be surprised if behind her back other elites talk poorly of her. Which may make her Pearl in a worst predicament.

[@baraxor]

We know from Peridot that there are "hundreds" of Pearls in existence. yet the Diamonds themselves only utilize one or two each. Pearls are capable of light duties like "holding your things", minor housekeeping, acting as a clerical assistant and singing for your entertainment. Other than the Diamonds, the only personal quarters we've seen were those of the Famethyst and other Quartz warriors aboard the Zoo Station, and these were barrack-type accommodations, each Quartz being assigned a tube. A Pearl in this kind of environment would be superfluous. My guess is that a Pearl might be needed by a Gem who is habitually in a command position at some settled place, who would have more than a mere cubicle for living space and thus would be expected to have one to perform those tasks that would be beneath her station, as well as announcing her high status to Gems in general. If a lower-strata Gem like Jasper or Eyeball was distinguished enough to be awarded a Pearl, she'd almost certainly be separated from the general herd and allowed to live in elite quarters. Jasper may or may not have her own Pearl; same with Aquamarine. They may not want them aboard their respective spacecraft because of a lack of obvious duties, or because they may not particularly care for their Pearls' company, or even declined to have the Pearl that they were entitled to because in their estimation they're useless ostentation. A Sapphire might not have a Pearl assigned to her because she's normally close by her Diamond. It's possible that our Sapphire has a Pearl, but it's also just as likely that Sapphire only had one temporarily (e.g. when she was on Homeworld while Blue Diamond was on Earth) or declined to have one as being unnecessary.

Pearls could’ve become crystal gems themselves once their master rebelled. And let’s not forget the resource shortage plaguing home world. Most likely said pearls would be recycled and given to other elite gems. I mean why would they waste resources to make what is their equivalent of slaves? Also some elite gems may receive multiple pearls over time. Kind of like getting a trophy. Heck, gems may receive more “fancy” pearls in place of the one they originally had as a reward. Do I think jasper has a pearl? Yes. Will she be shattered or punished if jasper doesn’t come back? I don’t think so.

[@iciclethehybrid]

Now that I think about it, it would only make sense for Jasper to have a Pearl. Most likely Sapphire had one as well. And when it comes to their master being gone... I have three ideas. They are given to another elite gem, they are poofed and waits for their master, or lastly they are shattered because they now have to purpose

[@slauderek3195]

Icicle The Polar Bear they wouldn’t shatter a pearl for having no purpose, she’d be reassigned. They’d also be reassigned before they’re ever poofed. But it makes no sense for a soldier to have a pearl as pearls aren’t supposed to be fighters on Homeworld. Don’t over exaggerate jasper’s strength and assume she had a pearl. For sapphire, she didn’t have a pearl, but I’m sure some sapphires do if the diamonds think they deserve one. If sapphire had a pearl she would’ve been with her during the answer, or recruited with her into the crystal gems, as pearls follow their orders

[@littlerapunzel8320]

Homeworld has a reasorse shortage, they wouldn't shatter a perfectly good gem for something like that. I think if their owner is missing they either just leave them to wait or poof them. If they know the owner won't be coming back (shattered, run away etc) they would give the pearl to someone else.

It could also be said that while she is a high class gem. Is she really high enough to have a pearl? The only gems that we know have a pearl are the diamonds.

We have to wonder why she specifically was asked by Blue Diamond to make appearance at court to scry.

In ‘A Single Pale Rose’ we do hear Pearl say “Yes my..Quartz.” even though this was more of a joke line, I think if Jasper did have a pearl, that is how she would be referred to.

KoolKitty100 I have several that give Jasper a redemption, but this is the one that i love rambling about: Steven Universe Renegades. Renegades gives Jasper a redemption in a rather odd way: By swapping bodies with Steven. It also serves as follow up to powers that Steven used but never did again, and powers he got out of nowhere in future.

Any indication on what her life was like on homeworld would have been interesting. We see her as an angry war hungry monster, but that's only because she is interacting with her enemies and Steven. Since everything is from Stevens emotional and physical perspective, it's impossible to know.

This is unlikely but I like to think that when pearls somehow lose or are separated from their masters for a long time, they would be shoved back into their hole or put on some sort of off off mode. If a pearl where to be given time to themselves, away from the labor of their purpose...they might start to enjoy that too much, so when their master returns, they are no longer happy with Homeworld, leading to rebellion. It would be in Homewrolds best interest to do anything possible, humane or not, from this happening. Somehow "turning off" a pearl would be very useful to them. But that's just my thoughts:) if Jasper has a pearl I will be so happy. I'm gonna call her "Cheeto pearl"

[@AtarahDerek]

Pearls ARE organic. So are jets, corals and ivories--gems that haven't appeared yet, but that would probably also be servant class.

[@uberkirbeeh7954]

I think, that if a gem that has a pearl, who is either lost when serving their mission, executed, etc, their pearl could be taken away and given to another gem to serve given the current resource crisis. But I wouldn't be surprised if the pearl of a gem found guilty of treason or labelled as off color would be shattered given how hostile Homeworld is. As for Jasper, it could be possible that she has a pearl, but at the same time, even that she is a perfect soldier, she is still bottom tier with no truly significant status or things she has done to Homeworld other than serving and surviving the war. And I don't think that enough to get yourself a pearl, unless Yellow truly favors Jasper that much.

[@hauntedtoast9610]

Über Kirbeeh I think the show hinted several times that Jasper has lots of qualities and has done actions that homeworld exhaults

[@hauntedtoast9610]

[@UTAU53Yui]

Love love love this theory. Definitely something I would have come up with if I were more invested in the show. I'm not sure how harshly I could hold Sapphire responsible for whatever torture her Pearl may have gone through. In these sorts of situations, the villainy of the higher ups is so horrible and far-reaching that it's near impossible to protect the little guys if you want to move forward. I'm also not a trained political navigator so I can't really speak on the subject beyond what I've seen in Asian palace dramas lol.

My question is why is our Pearl much taller then the others

[@smorey2631]

SHE IS THE SUPERIOR PEARL

[@KarticatArchive]

after the movie, i like to think pearls are restarted/rejuvenated and given to other gems, this still kind of works if they’re given to different gems because just like our pearl, it’s safe to say other pearls can be customized to be how this new owner wants. so the pearl and creator don’t feel weird about the pearl having a past owner.

Where are all those Pearls coming from then? Like, every gem should technically be able to own a Pearl, right? Is there just a giant stash of Pearl gems somewhere on Homeworld? Having said that, I'm imagining a broomcloset-sized room filled to the brim with Pearl gems and Yellow Diamond opens the door to get one and is hit with an avalanche of gems.

[@rat-dog7357]

If there is a surplus, they possibly could be stored. Though, I imagine its much more organized. I dont think they are made in bulk and stored however. Gems like Quartz soldiers are made in multiples at a time because you need as many soldiers as possible, right? But I feel like a pearl is only made if a gem of high power or of great achivement is assigned to get one

It would make sense that if Jasper does have a pearl that she didn't come at the time of the mission, because Yellow and Blue Pearl didn't attend Yellow and Blue in "Reunited" (If this isn't the case then I am very concerned for their well beings 😂😂). Great vid as always Slice! Really made me think

[@sugar-rice]

Hello!

[@yoruichishihouin1419]

As for Jasper’s pearl(if she has one), i think she’s waiting for her at home. I don’t think they believe jasper to be shattered or anything so i don’t believe they’d get rid of her pearl or give her to someone else. As for the Pearls that belonged to gems who defected during the war i think they were shattered. I believe Homeworld’s mindset would be “well if the master is a defector then it’s pearl must be too”. And “a master’s thoughts and beliefs are it’s Pearl’s thoughts and beliefs”. After all, a Pearl is supposed to be a completely loyal servant to the gem that owns it.

Hmmm.... I can see it 🤔. Especially when Eyeball Ruby was geeked about getting a pearl if she shattered Steven like you showed. Jasper seems like she would have one because of how popular she seemed to be as well. This is a very interesting topic.

[@erictorres5632]

Steven deserves to be with someone better than Connie who betrayed him, She turned her back on him and ignored him like he didn't even exist, Sure Amethyst and Steven have had fights in the past but at least Amethyst was always there to call him out on his mistakes and Steven stayed by her side to call out hers, Connie completely turned her back on him and abandoned him the FIRST time they had a disagreement, Amethyst would NEVER turn her back on Steven and Steven would NEVER turn his back on Amethyst, All this helped me understand why Amethyst is a better match for Steven than Connie could ever be because Steven and Amethyst work their problems out together while Connie runs away from them like a coward and that's not a good trait to have in a romance when your significant other is not willing to stay with you when times get hard Lets talk about how Connie betrayed Steven in the episodes "Gemcation" and "Kevin Party" Sorry if it's a little long but it makes sense: Well, I'm Starting To Get Annoyed With Connie. Like, Getting All Wound Up Because Your Best Friend, Let Me Add, Only Friend, Sacrificed Himself To Some Space Alien Gems For Something His Mother Did, Knowing He Could End Up Getting Seriously Hurt, Dead, Worried, And Stressed, All For Your Safety? Be A Little More Happy. If I Was Steven I Would Have Been Like, ``Oh, I'm Sorry I Didn't Drag You To Space With Me To Attempt To Fight Two Of The Huge, Giant, Magical And Powerful Leaders Of ALL THE GEMS CREATED. To Try To Get Us Both Killed Because My Mum Destroyed Their Best Friend, So I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BEEN THERE, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY MOTHER! So I'm Sorry I Didn't Lug You To Space To Essentially Die. Next Time Tell Me Before You Have A Death Wish So I Can Fullfil It. I Thought You Being My Best Friend Would Actually Care That I Made It Home. I Know We Promised Each Other To Stick Together Forever And Deal With My Mystical Problems Together, But You Could've Gotten Seriously Hurt Or DIED! They Didn't Want YOU. They Wanted Me!! And You Took My Lion For A Few Weeks Without Telling Me He's Safe. `` And By Going ``If I Was Steven`` I Meant ``What I Expected Steven To Do`` Like, Connie Has Been Becoming Meaner, But Closer To Steven At The Same Time.. Her reason for ignoring his texts were essentially "It's contradictory to say 'I don't want to talk right now' because that's talking!" Don't forget that she made only ONE attempt to talk to him in person. He's been back for a while, Connie...She should have been able to tell by all the "Missing Lion" posters, too. These episodes really made me hate Connie. She seems like a really typical, self-centered teen girl. How about an apology for putting poor Steven through all this he did nothing wrong except sacrifice himself to save you and everyone else and also apologize for being selfish and mean to the poor boy I mean stealing the only way Steven could even contact Lars on another planet seriously, Steven could have been getting him food and supplies and helping his parents get better if you hadn't stolen lion like you did yeah I heard what her reason why, that's why I think she becomes stupid all of the sudden, and she did ignore him, she could easily had wrote "Steven I don't know what to said to you, let's better talk in person", before he left, it was that easy, that's why I'm extremely disappointed in Connie, I mean yeah Steven is so clueless sometimes but what Connie expected? that Steven just keep being depressed over her stupidy and keep waiting forever for her without doing nothing else? pfffff come on... he was already sad enough, there are things that are ways important that she being butt hurt for a very stupid reason, more because her friend just came back, great way to show how her "feelings" are, ignoring her friend when a miracle happened and he just came back to her safe and sound, and yeah I know I have an unpopular opinion here, but i find Connie's melodrama absolutely pathetic and unnecessary, a real burden. to be honest I’ve lost a LOT of respect for Connie. She’s so self obsessed, steven was only looking out for her. I really really liked Connie and I hated Kevin but I’m having mixed thoughts on the two of them. I think the same, I'm so disappointed in here... I mean it was necessary she became that loser and start melodrama? really? with Homewolrd about to go to earth and start another war? honestly. I mean sure, jam buds is a big deal. but Connie has no business with homeworld. SHE could’ve been the one in Lars’ situation. yeah, I mean Lars actually DIED.... can you imagine that? that instead of Lars it could be Connie the ones who resulted death!? that's messed up, they were just NOT ready to fight in homeworld, not Connie not the Crystal gems... they could be all shattered..... so I think Steven took the right decision in here. Connie’s just being self obsessed and dramatic. I hate ConnieXSteven pairing so much this season. Particularly Connie. They actually made Kevin look like a sympathetic character. Steven isn't the moral decider in life. We shouldn't side with his opinion all the time, even if everything is through his perspective only. There was literally nothing else to do in that situation but give himself up. Connie couldn't do ANYTHING to fight back, she was just a useless in that situation as Steven was, yet she's complaining as if she's important enough to solve these conflicts with homeworld. Steven was especially stupid for prioritizing Connie over Lars not only being in mortal danger, but him knowing enough about Steven's movements on homeworld (and possibly being captured and interrogated) would put Steven and the earth in danger. Not to mention he did try to treat what happened in homeworld like it wasn't a big deal, despite Connie, Greg and the gems being worried for him. Neither of them were 100% right in the case, but is was unfair to only have Steven apologize. I still don't understand why Connie didn't apologise to Steven too. That's honestly kind of a bad message tbh, I don't now what they were thinking when they wrote this. The two should be at a mutual understanding, but it's all Steven throwing himself at her telling him how sorry he is. Which is fine, if Steven feel like he should apologise then he should, but Connie has wronged Steven plenty since he got back too. Also, considering everything Steven been through, isn't it plausible to think that he might not be the most susceptible to other people's problems right now? I know Connie hasn't seen everything Steven has, but she could at least make an effort, just like Steven did right here. Connie didn't even thank him for his sacrifice, whether she agrees with it or not, he still did it out of love for her and the others but that just gets pushed aside here. I honestly have no clue if the team really handled Steven and Connie's relationship this badly by accident, or they felt they had to include one of those obligatory 'They need to be upset with each other now just.... because!' It wastes time and I really don't feel like anyone with a relationship as strong as Steven and Connie's would be pissed at them for THAT long. Maybe a little bit but this took up almost the entire Steven Bomb and it was so cringeworthy, because you know they were going to be friends again in a few episodes anyway. There was no tension, nothing at stake, it was a badly-written waste of time. Steven is seemed to way more mature than Connie after all his encounters with Homeworld Gem. By the way, Steven once against is not your fault, Connie doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of Homeworld power Promises can't always be kept all the time. If they were so helpless in the abduction episode, imagine them in the 2 Gem War or facing off against one or two or all the Diamonds. Connie and Steven may not be able to face it together, in a previous episode, Connie's mom did say that she would take Connie away from a battle that would be in way over her head. Anyway! I hope I articulated myself well enough! :) Sorry if this is a little long-winded. I am still enjoying these episodes overall, just wish this situation was handled differently. After Steven experienced this with Connie, I hope he can compare his relationship with Amethyst and and his relationship Connie and finally figure out who truly loves him romantically and will stay by his side no matter what :)

Connie actually tries to battle people, and so does amy! Both of them are equally strong. So the fact that you say one is better then the other, is actually kinda shitty

[@Polaricey123]

I wonder if Sapphire's Pearl would've been interrogated after her owner became a rebel, and possibly shattered. Or maybe she fled and became one of the many off-colors hiding on Homeworld.

[@erictorres5632]

Steven and Amethyst would make the best romantic couple, They have developed such a strong and deep romantic connection to each other but they just haven't acknowledged their romantic feelings for each other yet Amethyst and Steven have a similarity in that they’re both a strange kind of Gem who’s only known Earth. Rebecca says at this point Steven really knows everything there is to know about Amethyst, almost, while Garnet and Pearl are more guarded about the vast amount of their history he does not know. Amethyst was the only one of the 3 Crystal Gems to have opened up to him as early as “Tiger Millionaire,” She has nothing to hide from him and he has nothing to hide from her, They trust each other more than any other people they have ever known, And she’s changed the most from the beginning of the show because of her bond with Steven. Amethyst representing the present, changing right along with Steven, makes sense, when balanced against Pearl with so much of the past she can’t reveal and Garnet being ahead of everything, focused on what’s going on in her own mind (which makes it hard to even talk to her). Amethyst finds the most safeness and comfort when being close to Steven, He completes her and she completes him, Both the advantages of freedom and the disadvantages of lack of structure manifested in Amethyst. Steven didn’t want Amethyst to have restrictions of the Gem society they rejected, They both protect each other from experiencing the troubling situations that threatens them with each of their passing days, Meeting Steven inspired the growth for Amethyst where she can understand where she’s from and can CHOOSE the flexibility she embodies, rather than having that be a symptom of floundering. Now she’s developed the freedom to define herself as the kind of Quartz she wants to be, having seen the options and what her society of origin would have wanted her to be. When Amethyst was comparing herself to Jasper and feeling inferior as she scrambled for identity, Steven was there to assure her that behind her back he was the one who saw value in her and in return she saw value in him Smoky Quartz’s first appearance was born out of a low point for Steven and Amethyst. They bonded over both not being good enough-being the worst. So Smoky represented them reaching for each other’s help, and being willing to do that when you need to. Even though the episode "Steven Vs Amethyst" was a source of tension between Amethyst and Amethyst, it also represents where they bonded and got a new start, Amethyst in the past she wouldn’t have had the emotional resources to help someone who’s suffering, especially when connecting it to a place she has such a complicated relationship with, but after meeting Steven she has learned she’s allowed to be proud of where she came from, she’s found enough strength to know how to help ground others. Amethyst feels complete in her life by staying by the side of Steven, While they are together they complete one world, Their world as a whole :)

Dude, Steven sees her as a parent like figure Remember when he had to meet Connie's parents??

[@erictorres5632]

Kerel Delgado Vergara, Steven doesn't think of Amethyst as a Mom, For the most part he considers her as the closest friend he ever had, In the episode "Fusion Cuisine" that you are referring to, Steven in that episode was just looking for a girl to ACT key word "ACT" as a temporary fake mom for him so he doesn't actually see Amethyst as a Mom per-se he just needed someone to fill the role as a Mom for him, In most of the dialog of every Steven Universe episode where Steven describes his relationship with the Crystal Gems he always refers to them as his friends, Therefore for the most part Steven considers the Crystal Gems as close friends of his, And again, Friendships can indeed progress into romantic love, But yet a lot of Steven Universe fans are reluctant to acknowledge where Steven and Amethyst relationship can lead to despite being provided so many hints and reasons why their relationship can possibly turn romantic.

[@Rotten_Prince]

[@lamiamoonshadow1104]

Jasper is a warrior class gem, so I can't imagine why she would want a pearl unless she needs someone to polish her weapons or something to that effect. As far as what happens to pearls without owners, I think they are either reassigned to a new owner or bubbled until someone finds them a new purpose.
