I think that they look younger in the flash backs because it was the 80s and they copied their outfits based on what they saw humans wearing. Everyone in the 80s were always dressing like kids basically.
Another thing could be height perception. The combination of Rose being 8ft tall (easily the tallest of the bunch) and Greg looking so similar to Steven, that the Crystal Gems look smaller. In these flashbacks, Greg is an adult in his early 20’s and is already 6ft tall, but he looks so similar to steven, that people are making the comparison to Steven’s 3’6″ height. Even though Amethyst is 4’0 in every instance that we see her, she looks incredibly small in the flashbacks because our frame of reference is Greg instead of Steven.
watching these for the first time and I really hope someday that you guys start liking Pearl, I love her but like I get not liking her cause she does have so many faults
They do like pearl, but you can like a character while pointing out all the bs they’re doing and getting annoyed by it. Even pearl fans (like me) can agree that she has said some super annoying stuff in the earlier seasons, even for things not related to her past/things that happened that were out of her control, she has said some super insensitive things out of nowhere (like in message received or on the run).
Sometimes I feel like they are too hard on her, but most of the criticism is valid and should be expected from a serious critique of the show. They still give credit where it’s due, which I really like.
The gems and everything they wear is made of light!

” Are we ever gonna have a Steven+Greg Fusion?”
“Nah”
