Why doesn't Pearl ever use any shape-changing powers? Is she unable to? Is that part of the reason she's "defective"? Or is there some other reason?
she is 100% defective
She literally cant, but she'd never admit it.
Lore.
Maybe she's just bad at it.
I think she can, because the gems invited her to play Steven tag. They'd know if she couldn't.
Pearl is artificial and may not have the powers of grown implanted crystals. We shall wait and see.
>>78040338
She at least changed her outfit during the beach scene, right?
I think she's just less practiced with it. She likes her default body and tends to stick with it. Garnet only shapeshifts once if I remember right, it's mostly an Amethyst thing.
because she's a fucking idiot
>>78040783
>>78040460
Episode: Secret Team
Pearl: Amethyst, shape-shift! Get small or... Something!
Amethyst: I can't! I'm freaking out! You do it!
Pearl: I can't concentra- *The hand releases Pearl, who spins in midair, then the hand clamps down tightly on her again* Aah! Unh! This is all my fault! I never should have had that bubble!
Pearls might not have shape-shifting powers
>>>/trash/479211
>>78041413
God no.
>>78041410
It's one of the things that make her defective.
>>78041461
Even non-defective Pearls might not be able to shapeshift
>>78041507
What makes you think that?
Take Amy, that works like her opposite, who is able to shapeshift at will as anything at anytime.
I'm sure it has to do with Pearl's obsession with perfection, to overcompensate for her defectiveness. She may deem it as a form of showing you are not ok with yourself.
>>78041507
Pearl's defect is that she isn't mindless and subservient.
Because Pearl has a /d/-tier transformation fetish and cannot turn into anything without literally giving it a thousand dicks.
How is anyone retarded enough to think that she can't? She changed her outfit in beach party, and it's pretty fucking obvious that she just doesn't like to shape shift.
By the very fact that she has a light construct form that is capable of changing upon regeneration, shows clearly that she has the ability.
Even more than Garnet, she obviously chooses not to unless completely necessary.
>>78041656
Zuke here, this post is now cannon.
i think pearls are not supposed ot look like her which is why everyone says shes a defective pearl
maybe real pearls have long hair and she cut it when she rebelled
maybe pearls dont have pointy noses
or maybe pearls are fat
idk
maybe pearls only wear dresses and she wears "active/battle" clothing
>>78042307
They only physical aspect of Pearl that I'd bet money on being a defect is her oval-shaped gem. When a different Pearl shows up, I bet her's will be circular.
>>78040460
>>78041312
>secretly can't shapeshift
>has been thinking up excuses to avoid the issue for centuries
I'd laugh.
>>78042527
I bet they're all short and fat
>>78040338
Pearl is obsessed with purity and honor. Shape shifting is a traditionally dirty and honorless thing to do. Amy has no dignity and doesn't care about purity so she shape shifts all the time.
> Show that Pearl has a collection of knives, daggers, and other swords in addition to her fencing sword and spear
> never use them in a fight scene
I rolled my eyes when she pulled out a second spear during Ocean Gem.
>>78040338
Obviously Pearl can shapeshift to a degree, but it's possible that Pearls in general may not be as good at it as other gems. Limitations like that might be why they're considered to be servants.
> Deep down you know you weren't built for fighting
>>78042669
We need a Hill of Swords style fight that incorporates all of them.
We all agree square mom is best mom right?
>>78043421
No, but I will agree that having Garnet wear her glasses all the time is the biggest mistake Sugar made.
Look at how expressive that shit can be.
>>78043474
I'm sure the animators aren't complaining, but I agree, it's a shame she doesn't ditch them more.
>>78043474
>>78043661
No way. her hidden, 3rd eye, is really what makes her more mysterious. I mean we all know it's there, but the fact that it's only shown in a handful of episodes, makes it's impact when it IS shown, way more dramatic. ...LIke when she loses her glasses, or they get knocked of, she she voluntarily removes them...shit it about to go down...
you guys are amazing. i never noticed she has never shapeshifted.
then again has garnet ever?
fuck i never even noticed them changing outfits except when amethyst pointed hers out
>>78044055
Garnet can do the multiple giant hands thing. She also played steven tag with amethyst.
>>78040338
Perl is a character who is holding onto her past very tightly because of Rose. It's understandable she wouldn't want to change her shape.
There is a lot more shape shifting in the comics.
>>78044055
>>78044227
>>78043421
She was, but now she's just
>Muh fusion
I liked it when she was the spiritual expert of the three, and not just two angry lesbians in a trenchcoat
>>78044055
I like how Connie is the only member of the main cast to actually wear different outfits regularly
really emphasizes she's a normal person and thus an "outsider" to crazy gem adventures
>>78043421

fine autist she's a "Major Character"
with the exception of Greg she's the only human who actively wants to be a part of Steven's life
>>78045177
She's a minor character you spaz
>>78045312
Onion is a monor character
Marty is a minor character
Connie has shown up/is the main focus of more than ten episodes, she's not minor
She's the MC's girlfirend for god's sake
>>78040338
Why would you want to change perfection?
>>78045312
The show would be better if she was a main character to be quite honest with you my family
>>78045026
this whole fucking show is Tumblr, I like the series, but there's no denying that.
Singling out one part of the series and using Tumblr as an insult is unbelievably stupid, even by 4chan standards.
>>78045421
>/is the main focus
There's not a single episode that has Connie as the main focus stupid fuck
And no, Sworn to the Sword is about Pearl's backstory with Rose.

>>78045800
>le
>>78045800

>>78045800
I think she refuses to shapeshift because Rose liked that body type the best.
Why hasn't she killed herself yet?
I mean, she does know that she's absolutely worthless and overall pathetic
>>78045872
Gems can't die or somethin id on't know this show has le poor righting.
>>78045559
Holy shit man.
It's far too late to be this stupid on the internet.
>>78045701
Hey man remember when post timers went up?
Y'know, to foster "intelligent and meaningful communication on 4chan"?
Things really can be that retarded.
>>78040338
She's "defective" because she isn't being another gem's hand bag. If you paid attention, pearls are just fashion for other gems.
>>78045872
Because she realizes that the closest she can get to being with Rose is having her sloppy seconds.
>>78045825
she thinks about all the asian people calling her a loser
>>78046219
You don't know that's what Jasper was referring to when she said Pearl was defective.
>>78040338
she changes her clothes into a sundress in the episode with the pizzas
>>78046362
You don't know it wasn't.

I'm sure Rose constantly used Pearl as a surrogate up until she decided to give birth to Steven.
>>78045559
>these levels of denial
You really dont like Indians, do you anon?
>>78046362
We do know that pearls are made to order gems, and that they're meant to be status symbols, rather like having a robot on hand, or a helper.
>>78046654
When everything is a meme, nothing is.
You know who'd make a pretty good main character?
>>78047934
Does anyone?
>>78048870
Lars?
>>78049653
True, but you cant say that Connie is a minor character. Episodes like SttS, Full Disclosure and nightmare Hospital is pretty much 50% Steven 50% Connie.
Wether you like it or not she's a major character in the show.
Now Greg on the other hand, despite being my favorite, is a minor character, only having 4 episodes revolving around him
She probably can, but with Amethyst on the team she hardly needs to.
That or its one of the things she's not great at, so she avoids doing it.
>>78049805
Sugar loves Greg and his VA. I'm sure we're gonna get more Greg centered episodes, which would actually be really cool.
>>78040338
She just haven't shapeshifted yet. She's said she's able to but she's refused to do it.
The reason why she is defective is because she doesn't have a master and isn't loyal to Homeworld.
>>78043421
That's subjective. I like Pearl more.
>>78049773
No, Lappy!
Everyone likes Lappy!
>>78049940
No you don't.
I wonder if we'll get to see Steven and the Gems doing more casual fun stuff again.
>>78049940
But it's not subjective
Garnet is a better guardian than Pearl could ever be
>>78042307
>or maybe pearls are fat
This would explain the autism part.
>>78049945
But a show about a person stuck in places a the time would be very boring.
>>78042669
Her ability to make spears could be (relatively) new. Peridot, for example, doesn't seem to know how to form light weapons, presumably because she has never learned how and its not something you can just pick up without effort.
She may keep the arsenal for more sentimental reasons, because they remind her of when she made the decision to become a warrior despite not being built for it.
>>78050867
And since Amethyst said that she could just pull out her weapon whenever she wanted to, it could mean that Quartz Gems have an easier time to pull out their weapons.
>>78040338
In order to shapeshift you have to get loose, and Pearl's as uptight as it gets. It's a power totally opposite to her personality.
>>78042669
She's probably most skilled with a spear.
I wanna marry peri cherry

>>78052439

What's your favorite thing about Lapis?
At this rate I'm guessing that we'll finally finish Season 2 in 2017
>>78040338
She can shapeshift but doesn't because as a custom made pearl she wants to stay the way Rose commissioned her to to look like.
>>78053687
My favorite thing about her is thatshe isn't a main character.
>>78046717
name one
>>78053890
Okay I'm not much for Pearl but them thighs at the end are un-fucking-real.
>>78053951
Lapis is a celebrity guest who occasionally graces the show with her presence.
>>78045483
Yeah, 'generic YA heroine' is better than 'baby patriarch'.
>>78042573

>>78053687

I want to put a kick me sign on Lapis' back!
How come we are having good SU threads without shitposting?
>>78054074
Japser is fucking disgusting, I'm glad she's the least important gem.
>>78054251
Is pearl defective because she doesn't follow what she was made to be?
I'm going to introduce Lapis to my parents! I'll they'll love her, as long as she isn't in one of her moods again.
>>78054551
Nah I think it's more literal
>>78050919
That... would actually make sense, quartzes being a warrior caste and all. Then again, Amethyst's whole character is about just doing what feels good without really thinking about it, so that might just be exactly what it takes to draw her weapon.
>>78054295
Because all the shitposters went to /trash/. Now that they're gone things are substantially better.
>>78054251
You can never replace the original Lapisabuser. He's gone, anon, accept it.
Holy shit /co/ is slow alright
>>78054551
No, she's defective because she's retarded. She's an invalid. She has one of those signs in her car.
>>78054551
It's probably just that. She was given free will and that was what made her defective. Or maybe that's what made her "lost".
>>78055267
It's her defectiveness related to her refusal to shapeshift?
How does it feel that Lapis is probably dumb as a bag of rocks lapisfags?
>>78055431
She is just very resentful, she can't think straight.
>>78055310
I'm thinking normal pearls do shapeshift a lot and project like multiple holograms to multitask
But she has rejected her maid status
>>78055431

>>78055431
Why are you so mean to Lappy?
>>78056851
Because she's a shit character void of personality that is only found attractive because of cheap fanart, headcanons and fanfics.
Get a better waifu you stupid fuck.
>>78055871
Why would she need to swim? She can manipulate water however she wishes.
>they crystal gems will be forced to kill Lapis in order to stop Malachite's destructive rampage
>>78056984
You have little faith friendo ;)
>>78057938
I'm not sure if Lapis would die, or if I want her to die with Malachite unfusing.
>>78057946
Burnett described her as blue/black using the MTG color chart. That means she's manipulative and selfish.
>>78058207
It's B/U/G, a personal favorite of mine, which means she also has the ability to grow. Believe in Steven and love anon. Besides B/U doesn't mean that person is evil or even a bad person, that's just their motivations that can drive either good or bad intentions.
>>78040338
I'm sure that at some point in the past Pearl, as the personal servant of Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz, kept trying to change her personality to be what Rose wanted her to be, just to have Rose look her in the eyes and tell her "I like you just the way you are". In that moment of validation and emotional honesty, Pearl fell madly in love and so doesn't shapeshift because Rose liked her just the way she was.
>>78058207
You have to be smart to be manipulative.
>>78058484
I'm also confident that Rose gave Ruby and Sapphire the speech about "you are not one person. You are not two people. You are an experience. Make it a good one."
>>78056984
>>78055431
She tried her best.

Lapis, because I'm pretty sure that's what she's for.

>>78044993
I kind of agree. Ruby and Sapphire are neat on their own, but I don't like that ever since the reveal that everything about Garnet is analyzed in the context of her being a fusion rather than as an individual. Which is dumb, because in Stevonnie's episode, Garnet herself goes on about how fusions are their own beings and not two people in a trenchcoat.
>>78064165
>Letting anyone but Sucrose to voice the Big Bad.

Does anyone besides Steven like Peridot? Do you think she had any friends?
>>78066286
She probably spent the majority of her existence under the thumb of Yellow Diamond, sheltered from most of the world, tending to her seemingly never ending duties.
>>78066286
Would you want to be that loser's friend?
>>78066286
The other Peridots tolerate her but ditch her as soon as they can, Jasper would punch her lights out if given the chance, and Lapis doesn't give a fuck. YD is glad that Peridot is trapped on Earth. The CG is willing to poof and trap her again if she proves to no longer be useful.
