Omg, I go into the Mr. Greg tags for five minutes and I find out that people are shipping Greg and Pearl?! Sigh. I know there’s going to be a lot of Discourse TM about this, but seriously I dislike that people are jumping on this. It’s frustrating when there’s all kinds of overt stuff about Rose and Pearl and people are like nooo she’s very loyal, it’s a mentoring relationship when Pearl is clearly in love with Rose. And then Greg and Pearl dance together one time and everybody’s like THEY ARE IN LOVE. The heteronormativity is strong with this one.
I’ve liked Greg and Pearl for a while now, honestly. Clearly, they aren’t in love with each other. It would be nice to see them bond more in the future and maybe even fall in love one day. They’re both great parents to Steven.
I wouldn’t just immediately say they’re in love right now, but Mr. Greg definitely shows that they’re no longer on bad terms, which is a good thing. I’ve been waiting for that for a while.
I love that they are getting along better and think they would be awesome as friends and it would be great to see them coparenting Steven. But romantic relationship, no no no. It’s not just this one instance, it’s annoying because this always happens. It takes the smallest thing to prompt a wave of enthusiasm for a m/f ship and you have to fight tooth and nail to get people to acknowledge canon f/f ships.
Oh no, I don’t believe that Greg and Pearl have ANY romantic feelings for each other after Mr. Greg, I’m just glad they’re on better terms. Sorry if I came off like I’m forcing my opinion.
