I thought that Pearl liked pie ('So Many Birthdays'). And yet, she can't stand the thought of eating ('Fusion Cuisine'). Why is this?

Pearl likes the concept of pie.  She can appreciate the human practice of baking for the precision it often requires.  It’s really more of a science than a cooking method, in her eyes.  The process is what she’s into.  The actual consumption of the pie, of course, seems absurd.

Alternatively, if that retcon doesn’t work for you, Pearl just thought Steven was talking about pi.

purplekecleon:

So what about the cookout with the pizza family? Where Pearl was around a whole event centered on cooking? And had no issue?

I would really like if there were some consistency enforced instead of explanations that have to be sought elsewhere outside of the cartoon. It is extremely immersion-breaking while watching it.

it’s almost like Fusion Cuisine was a poorly-written episode

watching this account try to resolve problems with bad episodes with even more hamfisted explanations that are outright called retcons is pretty sad, and aggravating

just say “oops, our bad” instead of fucking up the canon
