@@marko3502 all of the Gems and Steven exhibit different, but fairly realistic response to death or complex grief. Garnet is hurting, but chooses to be "strong and silent" and immediately goes to clean up the physical mess (hanging the portrait back up), Amethyst gets angry and lashes out at Pearl defending her right to grieve Rose just her older "siblings" (the other crystal gems). Steven to struggles to keep everyone together and happy while ignoring his own personal grief and distracts himself by focusing on helping Pearl with her pain. And Pearl, after losing her sense of a unique and intimate connection to Rose, is in a panic because if Rose kept Lion from her, then maybe everything she holds dear about Rose is a risk. Her coping was feeling like she was special to Rose and her most trusted friend, but now knows there are secrets even she doesn't know. This is just a quick snapshot of what all is happening in the scene depicting Grief.

I really hate how the fandom treated pearl especially in this episode. Pearl loved rose more than just a leader and a friend. She had to watch rose time and time again choose men and maybe some women over her and while they were all fleeting relationships. Greg and rose were different, they got married and rose let herself get pregnant. Unlike a human women, rose had to give up her physical form for steven. Meaning rose left pearl behind, not thinking of the impact it could have on any of the crystal gems. Not only is pearl still grieving over rose but also it must have been traumatic to witness rose form into someone else. You dont just get over the emotional attachment you had with someone overnight especially if you were dependent on someone due to being programmed to always follow orders with no questions asked.

To this day I still sometimes go back and rewatch that scene at the very end, and Every. Single. Time. that Steven says "Well... I think you're pretty great" tears well up in my eyes. There is so much power in that simple statement coming from Steven. It's easily one of the most impactful moments in the entire series for me.

@2triedforthis8303 ай бұрын
I think it’s confirmed it’s up to the viewer to interpret and I remember literally every ending credit during the song I was just trying to imagine characters singing this to other important characters they admire/have a relationship with. I’ve basically come to the conclusion that it’s Rose to pearl, imo. It makes more sense tbh, because pearl was her longest living companion and maybe partner? But anyway rose is kinda unsure how much she means to people, which is how she keeps hurting them so badly when most of the time she doesn’t want to. Especially when leaving spinel behind, not really knowing or thinking about if she would actually stay and wait for her like that who knows.

Two of my favorite small details from the ending conversation that you only understand upon rewatch is when Steven first climbs up and is begging Pearl to tell him whats wrong while Pearl is actively covering her mouth, is the tragedy that's she's desperately trying to but cant. And Rose calling her "my pearl" can be read as a sign of respect instead of ownership, like how everyone else uses the phrase "my diamond" And man the "I think youre pretty great" just hits me every time, I love this episode

Pearl (and Rose's Scabbard) were some of my favourite things on rewatch. Outside of stuff like the Sardonyx arc, this is one of the messiest Pearl episodes and I really commend it for that. The feelings Pearl has towards Rose and the past are some of the most heartbreaking depictions of grief I've seen. Pearl's flaws are so pronounced in this show and I'm so glad they don't shy away from teaching kids how adults aren't perfect and can have these messy emotions. Beautiful video. "There's no way they'd kill a human in this show" I see what you did there Samuel...

Considering everything she had ever been through with Rose, literally being by her side even before Rose was even created, being Pink Diamond's pearl, it's no wonder she had the outburst that she did. Pearl was literally by her side for even longer than Garnet or Amethyst was, and she expected her to not lie to her out of anybody considering what they went through. Considering what she did for Rose/Pink. So Rose even lying to HER about Lion, it easily made her upset. If someone was in her shoes, you would easily understand why she lashed out the way she did. It stems from her trauma.

This was and still is one of my favourite episodes from the entire show as someone who wasn’t that too big of an SU fan but kept up with the plot regardless. Of all the clips I keep coming back to every now and then, the final few minutes of this particular episode is the one I had the most revisits to. There’s just something so peaceful, sad yet hopeful about it, this being reinforced by the track “I’m still here” too and is also one of my favourite instrumental tracks from the entire show too setting the scene. In conclusion, Rose’s Scabbard, especially its ending will forever have a special place in my heart for being the episode I had the most fond of in terms of the show’s more bittersweet (not too dark, but still emotional but also wholesome) moments.

@Burner135Ай бұрын
@@littlesnowfox5417 this is a confusing take, especially since they don’t argue in front of him on purpose. Half the time they purposely distance themselves from the others to gather their thoughts. Steven goes out of his way to help them. Yelling at your kid in general wouldn’t cause any sort of trauma, especially since the crystal gems barely yell at him even when he does nonsense. They are very patient with him. And as for “letting him comfort them” what do you want them to do? Push him away? They are a family, they help each other, they comfort each other. It just so happens that Steven never actually has much issues until future. And even then, in the original series, they do whatever they can to help him and keep him safe, they would never accidentally or purposely hurt them. Your definition of abuse is loose And it’s not the gems’ fault that Steven is violent in his pink outbursts. It’s because pink *herself* tends to become violent. Pink pearl is literally an example of this. If you wanna talk abusive, look at pink diamond
