How does she get money for food with no job or source of income?

Back alley blowjobs.

Greg
Thrown out/Expired food
Unwanted waste
Theft

Winnings from wrestling matches.

They obviously get something for taking care of Steven, the gems are leeches on society.

I forget which episode but I think it's established that she has no qualms with stealing. There's some episode where she and the other gems go get something for Steven and she's enthusiastically informs him that they stole it. Pearl chastises Amethyst for stealing, and lets Steven know that she (Pearl) went back and paid.

The real question is how does Pearl have money.

The answer is probably "selling relics".

I always got the feeling that the Gems did the "Put two dollars in the bank a bajillion years ago, live off the interest" thing, but that's seeming less and less plausible with each passing flashback episode. Still, the gems must have SOME kind of currency, they did have the cash to have a house built and enough money to keep the lights on and buy groceries. Greg probably helps out where he can but I cant imagine that contribution is much given that he manages a car wash.

Amy, I figure just steals shit and the people of beach city tend to look the other way because she's one of those weird magic ladies that keeps saving the town from bonkers shit since the founding. Sorta like how gas stations give cops free Coffee.

>it's established that she has no qualms with stealing
Just another reason not to like this fat ugly fish lipped cunt.

It doesn't explain earlier seasons, but Greg had all that residual money. Didn't spend all of it on the Shelbyville trip.

>bellybutton for a mouth.

...

yuck.

They probably just materialize money with their magic powers.

Wasn't there an item in one episode that let them duplicate anything?

Don't forget the episode where she shapeshifted as Lars and straight up stole a bunch of donuts for Steven and Connie.

Although I think Steven was going to pay for them or something I forget.

those lips were only made for one thing

Kissing?

They really have multiple uses, most of them lewd.

rhymes with horatio

Greg pays for everything. That's why he lives in a van.

With lips like those she can pay for Stevens college in one week

Pearl most likely got money from Greg.

Greg pays for Steven's stuff, including groceries and the electricity; along with the materials for building the house (or at the least the gems helped him get it for cheaper by making it by hand). That's why Steven has all those relica t-shirts; because it was leftover merch from his dad being an aspiring rockstar. And why his dad lives in a van despite being a decent job.


Him managing/owning a carwash explains it.

Nah, making objects like money with their light mass isn't a thing (unless of course it was in proximity and not just given to the other person). When pearl does her 'WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA' summoning jutsu, she's just summoning a stored object in her gem. Kind of like how lion has his own personal storing space too. Also, they broke the duplicator at the end of the episode.

She straight up stole the doughnuts and dipped. Given that she was trying to show off to Connie and Steven by saying that they should just 'go with the flow' in a tense situation since you won't really know what to be ready to go against anyways. Steven and Connie ended up 'paying for it', by throwing them their pocket change; but still was kind of jarring when it happened due to her acting out of character since she was still kinda fucked up about Jasper.

Exactly this.

TITO DICK DICKMAN BABY

I'd actually like to imagine human leaders have been paying tribute/paying off the gems since antiquity alternatingly to thank them for keeping them safe and as a bid to ensure they're provided for so they limit their interactions with people outside of their tourist trap town

Steven and Connie paid for them after apologizing for Amethyst.

what the fuck is that in her mouth?

Didn't they save all of humanity? That seems worth the bare minimum of welfare services.

>duplicate a bunch of gold
>sell it off
>duplicator gets destroyed
>gold disappears but they're already rich from selling it all
