Got jumpscared by like 30 people showing up in my house hearing my madman ramblings so uh, guess I should make a more detailed post about it???? Anyways the traffic!gempearl appeal for me at least is that gem is looking for a version of pearl that doesn't exist. She's trying so desperately to make her worse in hopes it'll bring out the scarlet pearl she heard so much about, while also not knowing that scarlet pearl was never real. Scarlet pearl was a character. A rumour. A story that didn't even really exist in double life but in the seasons after it. Honestly it's hard to lay out the points without them getting messy in paragraphs so wait I need to list them out. To point is

Gem wants to bring the Scarlet Pearl out of Pearl

Scarlet Pearl doesn't exist, and never did

Scarlet Pearl was a reputation that overshadowed how dl!Pearl acted herself. It was a tool, a vague threat, a reason to ostracize the odd one out in a game of pairs, whether anyone was aware of what they were doing or not

Scarlet Pearl never existed in double life. At least, not until the finale. What existed in double life was someone weird. Someone alone. Why was she alone? No one knows why, but there must be a reason, so she should stay alone

Gem has a reputation that precedes her, just like the Scarlet Pearl

If Pearl could just stop holding back for once, maybe Gem can have a glace at that legendary, almost fantastical version of Pearl. The one that killed with glee. The one that fights with ease. The one leagues above everyone else. The threat.

Gem wants a version of Pearl that matches Gem's own reputation

That version of Pearl doesn't exist, and never will.

The wandering Pearl, the drifter, the one who is too quick to criticize their own lighthouse and too friendly to the other alliances, that's the version of Pearl that exists

Gem and Grian keep poking at her, questioning her loyalty, trying to find the Scarlet Pearl hidden underneath her

Scarlet Pearl doesn't exist, but Pearl does. And Pearl doesn't deal well with loneliness.

I'm often really dedicated to the visual quality and authenticity of the memes I make, but like idk if I could ever make another human being care about that. I used the proper font and color picked the correct color and sized everything correctly and used the alignment tool to get the spacing right and redrew the nebula background and spent way too long messing with the drop shadow settings to mimic the original text. Skyrim media literacy 0 skill meme. If you care.

Olympic Archery isn’t the best style of archery! (Because the “best” style is a fluid thing and depends on what you enjoy and/or need)

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didn’t know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.

these days only a few fantasy books stand truly unique, most just seem to be following very strict writing styles and filling in the same plot points, maybe its because fantasy has been dominated by usamerican and european writers who tend to see the world in a very lineal way and who crave immediacy, these authors are honestly scared to "break the rules" (there are no rules in art imo) in terms of time-space and such because most of their readers will get mad if they dont understand everything the series stands for in 60 pages or less
