He asks her if she’s ever loved other humans and, being the clever person that she is, she returns the question, only answering yes after Greg does. Later that same episode, Greg, Steven’s dad, begins falling in love with Rose. Again, though, she likes it enough to record a song and music video about boning down with her human lover. What surprises her is how much she likes to play with this human. That’s not what surprises her in that song. Greg.” Pearl, who also shared a loving relationship and a special Gem Fusion called Rainbow Quartz with Rose, is recalling how much she didn’t care that Rose banged a lot of human dudes because she “knew that they didn’t really matter until you.” The “you” in this situation is, of course, Greg, Pearl’s first and only romantic rival.īy the time we even reach the point in time portrayed in Season 2, Episode 9 “We Need to Talk,” when Rose sings, “What can I do for you?” to Greg, she’s already made it clear that she loves to play with humans. And fondness turned to love.” While Garnet tells Steven and some friends this addition, the viewer gets to see Rose dance with and then mack on a hot dude from BCE history.įor thousands of years, Rose enjoys dalliances with “the men that would come into her life now and again,” according to Pearl in Season 3, Episode 8 “Mr. In Season 5, Episode 13, “Your Mother and Mine,” Garnet retells the tale of Rose’s arrival on Earth, adding, “Curiosity turned to appreciation.

In the end, her decision wasn’t altruistic at all, but rather the result of libidinous aims.
