Pearl has been portrayed as Rose-sexual. The whole thing with the gems is that even the ones who have shown romantic interest haven't actually expressed interest in either male or female characteristics.
Like, it hasn't been shown that Ruby and Sapphire are attracted to each other because they're both "female", anymore than Rose was established to not find other gems attractive just because she had interest in human males.
There are pros and cons to the approach. Thinking about it is "sexual" even the right word to use in reference to them?

Amedot's the OTP as in I don't ship either of those two with anyone else. I pretty much multiship everyone else. Pearlnet, jaspearl, jaspis (as smokey said, hypothetical future or AU where everyone is friendship), jaspnet, Jasper x Eyeball, maybe I'll get back into pearlapis some day who knows, Jasper x happiness, Jasper x me...
And, my assumption would be that Pearl isn't into humans, which I wouldn't be either if I were in her shoes.
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.Well, that would be true regardless of fluff just because of how he gems look and are referenced.
But aren't we talking about how the in story characters feel and not what they're being used to portray?
Like, Ruby and Sapphire being into each other doesn't necessarily mean they'd only be into human women and not men, assuming they ever showed attraction to anyone besides each other and were into humans.

I can't see it as a legit ship unless there's in-story stuff supporting it. They don't have to be "canon" because then they'd be a thing already, but there has to be foreshadowing. Otherwise, I consider it a crack ship.
Although crack ships can still be fun too, as long as they're not taken seriously.

Also, this isn't directed specifically at Smokey Cut, but I do find it funny how people's opinion of authorial intent changes whether they like it or not. If they like it it matters, if they don't, what the author intends means jack.
