Also, if it was love, remember that gems are technically genderless, so it wouldn't be homosexuality or anything. I agree about how Pearl felt about Rose, but something's always bugged me about the whole gem genderless thing. If they are genderless, why do they all, so far, present themselves as female? Why not just present themselves as genderless beings? These questions aren't rhetorical, I am genuinely curious. Not much information has been given about the gems and their origins, but I am excited to learn more about them. Species lore has always been one of my favorite aspects of fantasy.
