I think a few years out when SU is a nostalgic show, Pearl’s ribbon is gonna be one of those Mandela Effect things (like the whole Berenstain/Berenstein Bears thing). Because even now I reckon there’s quite a lot of people who would swear up and down that Pearl’s ribbon is definitely tied in a symmetrical bow, when in actuality it’s always been an asymmetrical knot.

Like, even some official merch gets this wrong and makes it a bow so I’m not surprised a lot of people get confused. And I just think once the show is no longer on and it’s mostly just in people’s memories, folks are going to be surprised to learn their memory of it is wrong and it’s not a bow.
