https://twitter.com/mcburnett/status/611651923100307456 I completly understand that Pearl romantically loved Rose, but I dont get how that tweet confirms it. I even saw this one guy say that might have misinterprited by thinking it meant that it was clear she had no feelings for Rose. So how does that tweet prove anything (cause I think it could be confirming both things if read differntly)? It can be inferred from context:
 * Q: let me guess, are you still getting questions about pearl having strong platonic feelings for rose
 * A: No, I think it's been made abundantly clear exactly what those feelings are by this point.

Taken out of context, a response like that could mean one of two things:
 * 1. "I think it's been made abundantly clear that those feelings are totally platonic."
 * 2. "I think it's been made abundantly clear that those feelings are clearly romantic."

Interpretation 2 makes sense in the context of all the shipping fuel in episodes such as Rose's Scabbard, Story for Steven, Sworn to the Sword and We need to Talk.

Interpretation 1 doesn't make sense, because they clearly haven't been trying to sink that ship.
