it’s looking more and more like only gems that were made for combat have weapons given lapis/ bismuth/ sapphire/ peridot don’t seem to have an actual weapon for fighting… but where does that leave pearl? is her will to stab people so strong she just managed to manifest her very own stabber or what

i really like the idea that it’s supposed to be a fancy non-functional ceremonial scepter that she turned into a weapon mainly with determined trial and error and physics/engineering skillz, THAT SAID ‘u ever get so mad you manifest a magical weapon you were never intended to wield’ would be the best pearl backstory we could possibly ask for

“Pearl what are you doing? That’s a letter opener.”

“Not anymore.”

do u ever feel like you’ve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed they’ll be when you inevitably crash and burn

Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that you’re exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure you’re afraid of isn’t inevitable at all.
