So I really like the headcanon that all of the Gems are just a little bit unsettling/creepy if you aren’t used to them. I mean, from an anatomical standpoint they don’t really have too many rules they have to adhere to as long as their body is functional for the things that they do need (mostly just mobility, enough air to speak, and a working GI tract in case they want to eat).
Beach City is mentioned to pull in a lot of money from tourism so I imagine once it’s tourist season, it’s always kind of a ‘spot the out-of-towners’ game because who’s freaking out over the Gems. “WHAT IS THAT” “That’s Pearl, don’t be rude, she lives here.”
Individualized headcanons under the cut for each of the Gems.
