I’m doing a SU rewatch, got to We Need To Talk, and started wondering what happened to poof Pearl between Bitchy Legwarmers Pearl ™ and s1 Pearl. She’s talented and careful, she doesn’t poof easily.

And sure we could totally get angsty about this, it’s Pearl and this is the time period between “Rose getting serious about Greg” and “Steven”

But also, the one time we saw Pearl getting poofed it was in a training accident because she turned around to lecture and got stabbed by her own holographic robo-double.

Basically it’s a complete tossup of anywhere from “got unhealthily reckless and careless trying to get Rose’s attention on a mission and was traumatically killed” to “absentmindedly ate an olive and was so horrified she straight-up died”
