How come no one went "hey wait, isn't that pink diamond's pearl?"

Probably stole one during riots

this, the gems being fucking retarded is the only way most of the plot can work

No one pays attention to pearls.

why would it matter. shes known as the rogue pearl. for all we know she's considered a conspirator for roses's treachery

They were probably under the impression that Pearl, along with most/all of PD's guards, were shattered, that, or they just didn't care enough to remember what she looked like, even fancy pearls ARE just accessories/attendants that aren't paid that much mind.

Besides, Pearl in OP's pic had already changed outfits too, which is probably one of the few strong identifying factors that anyone might actually notice about her.

>They were probably under the impression that Pearl, along with most/all of PD's guards, were shattered
That was at the very end of the war. What about the thousand years of fighting before?
>or they just didn't care enough to remember what she looked like
You'd think the hyperadvanced spacefaring race would have slightly better memory that that, but again, it shouldn't matter because there wouldn't be more than a tiny handful of pearls on Earth to begin with.

>How many pearls on earth?
>like 15? Okay, how many with matching gem placement?
>5? Okay, which of them lost their pearl when the rebel activity first began?
>None? Rebellion confirmed inside job, check alibis.
>PINK DID 9/11

Hey, man, it'd be like 6000 years and she kind of changed her hair, c'mon now

There is an entire planet devoted to pumping Pearls out. Like just Pearls

didn't Pink fake her death and reform as Rose by that point? even if someone were to recognize her she would still be a "rogue Pearl"

If there's one contistent (if unintentional) bit of characterization in the show, it's that gems are very, very stupid

Why would they care to remember/note how many Pearls are on Earth? We don't even know how many gems were in the rebellion at that point anyway, could have easily just assumed the pearl belonged to one of them, or that Rose Quartz just stole one from somebody. As it was, its not like Earth was just a couple of buildings and the kindergarten, they already had a lot of big gem buildings/area's made up already, so its fair to say that there were probably ships coming and going for a fair while before the war properly broke out anyway.

> You'd think the hyperadvanced spacefaring race would have slightly better memory that that
Obviously not, the gems are retarded, even the almighty Diamonds never questioned how Rose Quartz could have gotten so close to PD in the first place until Zircon pointed it out.

it didn't occur to them that Pink would kill herself to save her colony since they drank the diamond supremacy koolaid
and the earth was already a functioning colony before Pink rebelled so it not so far-fetched to believe gem royals vacationed there with their pearls.

Yet we barely see any that aren't owned by diamonds, clearly they don't hand them out like candy.

>Why would they care to remember/note how many Pearls are on Earth?
They probably wouldn't, but they'd note the presence of high ranking gems that own them, and any reports of missing Pearls.
>We don't even know how many gems were in the rebellion at that point anyway, could have easily just assumed the pearl belonged to one of them
Pearl and "Rose" were the very first rebels. They don't need to look at the entire war, just records from the first few years of troublemaking before they had an army or did serious damage. I'm not disputing that gems are retarded, that's my point, that PD's ruse only worked because they were too stupid to do an investigation.

> Pearl and "Rose" were the very first rebels. They don't need to look at the entire war, just records from the first few years

Again, we still don't know how long the rebellion had been going on at that point, Garnet doesn't really specify either, only saying that the rebellion could already be considered a 'group' at that point, who knows how many high ranking gems were already in it? Or how many Pearls?

If this is before PD was even killed then its not like they'd really take note of Pearl being missing anyway because she technically wouldn't be, PD wouldn't say anything about it and obviously the Diamonds would still see Pearl with her whenever they met.

So even if anyone really noticed Pearl, which is already doubtful, they probably wouldn't care enough to look into who she was, just some random renegade Pearl that either joined up or was stolen by Rose or something, even if she's a fancy one its no great loss or something that anyone would bother to look into, just make another one, that seems to be the Gem philosophy.

Pink Diamond invented the rose quartz persona long before she faked her own death
the blue zircon at the trial mentioned rose quartz 'had been a recognized threat for several hundred years' at the time of Pink's shattering
we also know Bismuth was a crystal gem before Pink's alleged shattering, and Bismuth knew Garnet

All Pearl look the same.

>only saying that the rebellion could already be considered a 'group' at that point
A "small, persistent group". Couldn't be that many, and the more important they are, the easier it should be to track which ones weren't there from the very start.
>because she technically wouldn't be
Right, that's the smoking gun that could fuck PD over. If there's so much as a single recorded incident involving Pearl before someone actually lost a matching Pearl, they'll know a high ranking gem was involved, not just some random quartz.

Racist!...gemist?

Because that's preposterous. Even IF anyone thought that was Pink Diamond's Pearl, the second they pointed it out Pink Diamond would tell them they are mistaken because her Pearl was with her any time she appeared.

wait a minute...
