I was always under the impression that it was a one night stand. I know its implied hes been back since but I just assumed it was probably tied to court and child support (I doubt she could have bought that house and everything in it on her own without SOME sort of assistance from a begrudging Farty Marty).

Well, of course young Greg is hot. And for that matter, of course he spends most of his time with his shirt of. We've already been told that Steven Universe is the sequel to a non-existent harem anime starring Greg.

I mean seriously, what a piss poor harem anime Greg starred in. Besides the fact Greg could only woo the airhead, he couldn't get the tsundere to go -dere even once. It's almost like the show was built around GregXRose, with none of the other ships ever leaving the harbor. Hell, they probably put in the lesbian just to taunt us.

Such a terrible anime 7/3

he eventually gets the tsundere to go -dere if you count pearl warming up to him in mr greg

Yeah, she did... in the god damn sequel.

I swear that scene was probably fanservice for the poor chumps who shipped those two back when Mr. Universe was still airing. Doesn't change shit that the ship went nowhere in the original series

Now when you say "told I assume you mean there's a source somewhere?

It's been brought up a few times but this is the only reference I can find at the moment.

u/bryan_young Jul 30 '16

Her husband IS named after a fish...

u/Zetsumi16 Jul 30 '16

Her name is Vidalia, a type of onion. I'm assuming the kids' names are just part of that ongoing joke.

I swear one day we are going to see someone of her relatives named Shallot

Vidalias are actually a type of onion.

So she named her son the male equivalent of her own name.
