The Most Interesting Nobody in the World wrote: I think that Pearl is asexual, and that Rose was more like a mother/idol to her. I recently got on a debate on Google+ about this, and someone brought up that there actually is no firm evidence about Stevonni, as hinted as it may be. I ship Stevonni, and was slightly disappointed to find that they were right about there being no actual evidence, but I stand by my statement. The title "Indirect Kiss," where they spent the entire episode together, Stevonni being a romantic fusion, and the fact that they have spent so much time alone together convince me that Stevonni is a different case, anyways. (They also accused me of being a homophobe, so i proceeded to yell at them for the next half hour or so, since I am all for gay rights and ship Garnet as much as possible.) I hope to find more gay couples in the Universe as soon as possible, but do not believe Rose and Pearl to be one, even on one-sided terms. Hello! That was me. I didn't call you a homophobe, I just said that you were being more open-minded to seeing straight/straight-passing pairings than you were, well, anything else, due to the fact that Pearl's love for Rose was very very heavily implied and you "couldn't see it," whereas you picked up on all the Steven/Connie hints which were implied just as strongly as the Pearl/Rose hints (though implied a lot more since Rose is gone, so Pearl/Rose interactions are extremely limited, I'll give you that.) Anyway, that's not the same as accusing you of being homophobic. I never said you were homophobic. Hints are strong evidence. You were stating that there was no evidence of Pearl having been in love with Rose, and in order to show you that this wasn't true I said that, according to that logic, then there is also no evidence that Steven likes Connie. This is false. There is evidence of that, just like there is evidence that Pearl was in love with Rose. There's no need to feel any disappointment, Connverse (or, Stevonnie, as you like to call them) lives on strong. (Rhyme intended.)
