ALSO i keep forgetting Yellow Diamond is a character and i forgot what thread this was, read that as "Y.V.'s haircut" and got confused because Y.V. doesn't even have hair
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
A friend of mine (who admittedly doesn't watch the show) says that Rose/Pearl as a requited relationship is weird because Pearl looks like she's twelve.
I agree that there's a clear power differential, but when I look a Pearl I don't see a twelve-year-old. I see a tall, petite, middle-class Chinese housewife who takes her kids to violin practice on Saturdays. Must be the voice.
i agree on how Pearl looks, but i think your friend has a point. Pearl did look like a kid in the scene where she and Rose Quartz fused.
Since gems' outward appearances are possibly tied to mental age (going by the birthday episode), my feeling is that Rose Quartz was more like a parent to them, rather than someone they could enter an equal relationship of that kind with. Though, if so, Pearl evidently didn't entirely see things that way, or doesn't with hindsight.

You know
I'll bet Pearl was pretty disgusted when she found out how humans reproduce

Well, Rose seems to have caused the Gems to all mature to a degree. Pearl may have acted like a teenager when Rose was around, but she certainly acts like what Mach said to Steven.

For those who may be interested: I'm hosting a Steven Universe group watch tomorrow at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT

I picked up on Vidalia being their mother because of her name, but somehow I didn't pick up on Marty being Sour Cream's father
It's the place in Georgia (the U.S. state) where really good sweet onions are grown; NC is relatively close to Georgia so they're the main sweet onions my parents get

I knew Vidalia was Onion's mother right away (although I did google "Vidalia" immediately because I thought it sounded familiar), and I also picked up on Marty being Sour Cream's father.
I don't know, it was like...two kids fucking in the back of a truck, and kids result, y'know?

So far, since the hiatus ended, we've seen a lot less of the Gems and a lot more of the humans.
It's an interesting and, I assume, deliberate contrast to the Sardonyx arc that was heavily focused on the Gems themselves.

On further thought I can't help but think that Dr. Maheswaran was a little naive if she knew all about Steven and the Gems and knew Connie hangs out with Steven all the time but somehow didn't realize that meant Connie was getting involved with magic

well, she somehow didn't notice that her glasses no longer had lenses
But I dunno, the real life analogy would be like...if your kid's hanging out with the son of the guy who runs CERN or whatever, you wouldn't necessarily expect her to get drawn into the mystery and danger of particle physics. When she met the gems, she saw them as parents first and anything else second.
(It also sounded like she didn't realize how much time Connie was spending with Steven, assuming she was adhering completely to this strict schedule she'd laid out for her.)

I like that Steven has a mug that says "WORLD'S BEST STEPHEN" [sic]
