Hello dont mind me just pushing my Sausage-made-Pearl-a-god-through-his-belief-because-all-he-could-remember-was-her-surrounded-by-flames-at-the-end-of-a-dying-world agenda :)
"Joel is obsessed with Etho" "Etho is obsessed with Joel" Yes, but- I wanna talk about Iskall. This man bought SIXTY-FOUR. A FULL. STACK. Of Joel stamps. And sent him not one, not two, not three, but four packages, with messages that all end with "x", aka "kisses", to Joel the same episode he got his mailbox. He also sent a ghast tear named "My tear of happiness" with a piece of paper that said "For you x"
Pearls reaction to it too:
Transcript:
Pearl: "(Sixteen) -diamonds? I think that's correct."
Iskall: (Overlapped) "That is correct."
Iskall: "Yup"
Pearl: "I believe so, unless I'm completely wrong."
Iskall: "Here you go!"
Pearl: "Oh my gosh, look at that! Ohh, beautiful sixteen diamonds!"
Iskall: "Yeah!"
Pearl: "Did you just-? Hang on, did you just buy six- Oh my gosh, Iskall!"
Iskall: "Okay, well I'm off!"
Pearl: "Not gonna say anything, you enjoy your newfound obsession!"
I need to talk about the parallels between Grian+Scar and Gem+Pearl for a sec. Grian and Gem are both the sun, they’re both unpredictable and chaotic and defiant and furious and Scar and Pearl are both the moon, they’re darker and reserved and at the same time equally as dangerous.
But Grian has been the Pearl and Scar has been the Gem, and vice versa. They’ve all been the killer at some point in time. Scar and Pearl’s parallel in Double Life and Secret Life of being alone, and their deaths mirror each other’s previous ones. Grian would kill for Scar, Scar would die for him. Gem would kill for Pearl, Pearl would die for her. Their relationships are complicated and messy and invariably linked to each other. Grian and Pearl are watchers, Scar and Gem are the favourites of the watchers. They find each other in every world. They’re parallels in all four ways and it makes me sick ugh the storytelling is so good
