my main problem with how some people talk about pearl x rose is that they're trying to force a monogamous understanding of the relationships when both pearl and rose are shown, multiple times, to not be monogamous as characters, and greg having admitted himself that he knew that about them and stayed anyways. like there was never a big breakup between pearl and rose so rose could pursue greg, pearlrose didn't define their relationship in the more human ways garnet came to define hers. rose was always aware of her lack of humanity and while pearl loved and protected humanity, she didn't want to see herself as apart of it until long-after rose was gone. rose was just with them both and greg's a human that's used to defining his own relationship in human terms. just because pearlrose didn't conform to human relationship labels, and didn't really have well-known gem relationship labels that went beyond superior/inferior, that doesn't mean they weren't together. that doesn't mean greg didn't know they were together while he and rose were together; "i knew how you felt about rose, and i stayed anyway." it's literally just a v-relationship with a hinge (rose) that lets their partner label it themself- pearl wouldn't use a label like that at that point in her life, and greg would never think twice abt it.
