oh christ no.

I love Lapis–but she isn’t an angel despite gaining wings. I dunno why people are hellbent in seeing Lapis and Jasper in absolute black and white, and its a bit frustrating lol.

Like–Lapis somewhat cares for Steven, but dear lord she HATES the crystals gems and she HATES earth.

When she found out Steven was a crystal gem, that’s when she turned on him. Yes, we don’t know the full story but we have to wait on that. But here’s the thing, Lapis was Steven’s Beach Summer Fun Buddy until she counted she with “THE ENEMY”. People keep saying “she didn’t know” or “she didn’t mean to” and that’s being willfully ignorant. SHE sent out the Water Clones to attack. STEVEN’S WATER CLONE SPOKE IN HER VOICE. She was AWARE of what they were doing and she was OKAY with it if not outright CONTROLLING them. 

“Look kids, Lapis can punch a child too!”

And the only reason why Steven and Connie weren’t killed was because Greg ran over the clone with his van, but then the clone threw his van and tried to kill HIM too.

Of course Steven still wanted to help because he’s Steven.  She thanked Steven, but never apologized and just left, letting the ocean fall with Steven still on top. Steven had to be saved from that too.

“Lapis somewhat cares for Steven, but dear lord she HATES the crystals gems and she HATES earth. “

She sent a warning to Steven alone, but still led Peridot to the crystal gems’ base.

Since she does care about Steven, she hid information from Jasper and Peridot. “It wasn’t relevant to the mission.”  She became a prisoner after it was obvious she withheld information from the homeworld gems.

She STILL led them to earth, to the crystal gems, with the mission to restart the kindergarden. SHE HATES EARTH. She didn’t seem so bothered with what would have happened to everything Steven loved, just him in particular on short term.

I still love her character but ffs, she has problems.  I really want to see Lapis and Jasper to both come back and hopefully get a shot at redemption.
