This is also why Rose's hologram in "Rose's Scabbard" dissolved when Pearl tried to interlock her fingers with it as it wasn't in the original recording and crashed the hologram.

To put it shortly: Yes She was in love with her but her love was platonic.

I don't think there is much else to discuss as the intention of the creators is pretty clear. My guess is that Pearl will move on from her overlong crush on Rose as part of her future character development.

Also StevenxLapis will never become a thing let alone work. Sorry.

Stevonnie 4 life baby!!!!!! Better chance of that happening then Pearl X Garnet, Pearl X ameythest, or Lapis x Peridot I don't want to ruin your fan-fic but the direction of the show is pretty clear. Like Garnet said "Love takes work and love takes time and at the very least you have to know the person." All this time, Steven was spending time with Connie, getting to know her, sharing his experiences with her, having fun with her and even fighting with her. His first fuse was not with any other gem but with Connie. Why do you think that is? A freak accident? No. Because fusing is an intimate and emotional act that can't be forced with training but can only be done properly with another person with shared emotional experience. In Steven's case it was Connie who is the same age and can truly understand his feelings rather than tolerating his inexperience half the time like other gems. They also compliment each other so well, especially with Connie being the agressive one (AKA the sword (AKA Ruby) and Steven being the pacifist (AKA the Shield(AKA Sapphire). With the upcoming episode "Sworn to the Sword", it is pretty obvious that Connie favors the sword so I am pretty sure we will be seeing Stevonnie with a Sword and a Shield.

On the other hand, we have Lapis. She must have spent twenty minutes with Steven at best. (Excluding her mirror form because fart noises is not exactly romance). She has thousands of years of emotional baggage and is obviously frustrated with Steven's naivety in her first appearence. She has more experience and knowledge than Steven but doesn't bother to tell him the details as he clearly wouldn't begin to comprehend the scope of the situation. Their situation perfectly mirrors that of an adult and a kid. They might be getting along well but it is clear that they will never be on the same wavelenght as far as their world view and emotional maturity is concerned. So no. This pairing doesn't have a "better chance" than those with years of comradery behind them. I believe the case is closed as far as the official channels are concerned but I doubt they will make an announcement saying "Your ship is bad and you should feel bad".

Note: If you have to kill another person for your crack pairing to "work", there might be something wrong with your pairing or with you. Just saying I never said Lapis and Steven had a better chance than Steven and Connie, I said that the Steven and Lapis ship have a better chance than those othe fan-ships (and its true). The Lapis and Steven pairing is like second behind Connie and Steven. Still, it is not 100% assured that Connie will be with Steven in a romanitic relationship.

And you hate it that bad? So much that you wrote almost a 1 page eassy to me? Who really is the one that has something wrong here?
