Yeah, everyone assumed it was the Bismuth in Lion's mane.

Or Woolie.



Every time there's a character with dreads, like Lucio or Bismuth, there's always art of Woolie replacing them it seems

Also don't let tumblr kids ruin your enjoyment, ever since I stopped going near it I stopped getting annoyed about them and they don't ruin my experience anymore

Is it just me or are all the Lapis and Jasper comics really kind of creepy in how they make Lapis into an innocent victim and Jasper as nothing but an abuser? Like even after Alone at Sea it's pretty clear both have faults in this and painting Lapis as a victim really oversimplified the narrative.

Jasper just wants a friend but doesn't know how :smith:

Lapis probably killed a bunch of people when she stole the ocean and when she gave it back.

I don't really think the show would have her actually kill people like that. Hell, I really don't think they'll ever imply any gem killed humans.

But yeah, the whole thing about Lapis having blame too has anyways rung kind of hollow with me. Jasper kept her prisoner and probably would've shattered her if she felt like it, I don't really feel like what Lapis did with chaining her down was really that bad.

She took prisoners of gems by the homeworld legal system, Lapis forced them to stay together under the ocean with mental imprisonment

She only attempted to shatter Amethyst, a rebel against Homeworld. People die in war and war is ugly.

Jasper is a product of a system and has baggage with Earth when they killed her Diamond. She's acted until her desperate corruption like an enemy soldier more than anyone with sadistic abuse. She's not 100% innocent but she's not prely the bad guy, just on the other team.

Calling her, an injured POW being held by rebels that killed her leader is wrong :911:

I do think that makes a fair bit of difference. Jasper thinks she's in the right with what she's doing, which makes it a bit worse.

Honestly, all of the gems have probably killed a lot of people, unintentionally or otherwise, of the course of 5000 years or so.


I hope Jasper is redeemed and all, but I really doubt she's someone that would join the CGs. If push came to shove, and she was threatened directly by Yellow Diamond or something, I can see her joining in and "enemy of my enemy" type of thing, but never really fully joining.

She'd be Vegeta then

Okay I was going to stay out of this whole conversation, but these kind of bullshit statements really piss me off so here's my take:

I've been in abusive relationships, and I identify with Jasper because even though I hated the situation and had no control over it I still hated the idea of leaving because if I did I would be totally powerless with no way to take care of myself.

That's my experience, and that's how it effects the way I view cartoons.

Some other people have had different experiences that cause them to identify more with Lapis, and that's fine. Abusive relationships, and life in general, are highly complicated and personal.

What isn't fine is poo poo like this, poo poo where you tell all women everywhere how they should feel about something because obviously you know best. You're not helping, you're just being a pretentious self righteous douche.

Say whatever you want about cartoon characters, you wanna talk poo poo about Jasper? Fine. Ya wanna talk poo poo about Lapis? Do it. But don't pretend your feelings about fictional characters makes you some kind of an expert on the lives of abuse victums.

rear end in a top hat.

Using your abuse as justification for your interpretation of characters in a cartoon so nobody can discuss it unless they agree with you is bad social interaction and shuts down the dialog on abuse, which isn't cool. If people are actively seeking out this person who refuses to discuss it though, that's not cool on them.

Someone that was literally trying to punch a child to death and had kept her in a cage.

She thought the child was a rebel leader that is thousands of years old that assassinated her leader. Putting arrested individuals in holding for transportation back for a trial is normal protocol for extradited criminals, which Lapis could have been.

Also if abuse was coming up during a cartoon conversation with someone I'd just not talk about it, dont be silly.

We're so starved for merch of the show that when I saw this at the comic book store I just bought the whole thing. :suicide:



I just bought the ones I wanted off ebay since I didn't want any humans, and stuff like no weapon garnet pearl and amethyst are cheaper than the boxes, peridot is the pricy one at like 25 to 30 bucks.

So if you get two Peridots, sell one.

Given the import of a statement like this, you'd think it would be brought up in every discussion of the show's future if it were true.

I do recall someone saying "we're not going to just let this go on forever like Certain Shows We Won't Name" but I don't think anyone's said anything definite about an end date/final season/whatever.

Yeah Gravity Falls from its inception was incredibly clear it had an end date and that it would be only a two season show. I don't see Steven Universe stringing us along.

At the start people were saying three seasons - one for each month of summer. But they then said the whole enterprise burnt Alex & team out so much they decided to wrap things up in season 2.

What caused the burnout? Working with Disney, or just writing and producing for it?

Why are we calling slice of life episodes filler :colbert:

It triggers my memories of bad anime filler that I sat through as a dumb kid.

Also don't worry I'm sure Gem Harvest is actually about Lapis and Peridot turning the barn into a pretend farm and they 'harvest' whatever they think is crops, but its just some weird stuff they put in the ground that never grew.

There hasn't been a specific episode highlighting it directly, but I think Garnet used to have more of a problem being too distant/opaque. As the show has progressed, she's become more affectionate and emotionally available to Steven than I think she used to be, which is nice.

Some of that comes from Estelle not being an experienced voice actress and hating doing a ton of lines, although now she's definitely very comfortable with it while still keeping her short phrasing.

I may have put way too much money into these Steven universe plush but at least they look good unlike all the official merch.

I think first 4 figures, which does premium 150-300 dollar polystone statues, is doing a Steven Universe poll right now on facebook for interest in the series. So if you want them to pursue that license and get actually not poo poo statues, go vote on that there.

Personally my plush from the neat russian lady that makes them is enough for high end steven universe merch, since I got enough drat statues anyways from Overwatch alone.

Look up renchanworkshop on tumblr if you want to see her plush, I ended up getting her first Aquamarine ever so I didn't even have to wait for it to be made. They're all hand made and its her only source of income, she just makes the money in US dollars so she can live like a queen in the Russian steppe.

I bought all those plush over the span of like uh, the last year? The cheapest of all four of those is 75-150 bucks though before shipping, so be warned. And if you don't get EMS shipping, it's going to take 3-5 weeks to get to you because of US/Russian shipping times being awful due to lack of good trade agreements unless its EMS, which still takes 1-2 weeks. Japan to US or China to US EMS takes 3 days and is cheaper.

Also she has a pumpkin plush too, but its uh, you know, just a pumpkin.
