So Lapis straight up admitted to LIKING keeping Jasper trapped. She admits and recognized what she did was BAD and terrible. But she liked it?
I’m glad she realizes what she did was horribly toxic. “I was terrible to you, I liked taking everything out on you. I needed to.”
What’s eerie is how Jasper was talking. Like holy Stockholm syndrome. “I’m the only one that can handle your kind of power!.” She was HAPPY she could survive Lapis?? Red flags, bb no. And Jasper WANTS this? The damage is deep on both ends, like we predicted.
Also oh hey look, we were right about Lapis being able to kick Jasper’s ass. 6_9
tfw Jasper is the only Gem here that didn’t try to kill Steven or destroy Earth (lately)
tfw Jasper coerced Lapis into fusing with her which is a completely unsubtle metaphor for abusive relationships….which is a perfectly good reason for multiple people in the fandom to not want to see more of her…………………………………………………..
Coercion involves using force or threats to make someone do something. Jasper is a huge asshole, but at least recognize the real reasons she’s a huge asshole. She isn’t a beautiful cinnamon roll but she also is not a rapist ffs.
If Malachite wasn’t just an example of what happens when two gems fuse who do not care about each other, only their own personal goals, that sure would make this pic the crew taped on their doors and blogged everywhere pretty awkward:
Jasper-chan~
And would sure make Garnet a victim-blamer: “Yikes. THEY are really bad for EACH OTHER.”
So seriously, she’s a good ANTAGONIST without tacking shit onto her she didn’t even do, and you’re missing out on a lot of really cool character development with Lapis by turning her into a freaking woobie that can’t defend herself. Lapis in most of the episode was in a state of apathy. We know she could have kicked the crystal gem’s butts easily by herself, Jasper wasn’t going to be a physical threat to her at all, especially with the ocean right there. She wanted to give up, be left alone. Complete apathy that even disappointed Steven. Complete apathy that made her turn away and let Peridot fire a laser at him, with not even a word. She tried to help him, yeah, but when things did not go as planned he was on his own.
Speaking of words: “Lapis, listen, fuse with me!”
“How long did they keep you trapped here on this miserable hunk of rock?“ “These gems, they’re traitors to their homeworld. They kept you prisoner. They used you. This is your chance to take revenge! Come on, just say yes.” She didn’t threaten to hurt her. At all. She was trying to sway her against a common enemy. No threat of physical harm, nothing. Not even a “or you’ll be sorry!” You could say pressure but again, not under a threat of violence. Canonly, stated by the creators, FUSIONS CANNOT BE FORCED. Jasper knew she was beaten on her own so she knew fusion, which she hated, was her only chance at completing her mission, and so she grabbed Lapis and ASKED. Asked not with physical threats, but a reminder what the crystals gems did and the planet she wanted to get away from.
Jasper–who lost to Garnet when she had no “fancy tools”–ASKED, and Lapis, a very powerful gem who we KNOW can take on at least three other gems with her own gem broken, agreed and then refused to let Jasper go. When Malacite was being dragged into the ocean, we see Jasper is terrified and thier faces split, with Lapis yelling “I’m done being everyone’s prisoner! Now you’re MY prisoner, and I’m NEVER LETTING YOU GO!” Jasper screamed “NO!” So quick question.
Who asked, who forced?
A bunch of old tired arguments about Jasper have sprout up again, so this need to be said. AGAIN.
And at this point we were right about Lapis anyways.
Okay I like to think I'm ... not evil about it, but the Pearl is lesbian. Or at the least has negative response to men, is VERY consistent (especially if they come off talking fresh or being intimate) Versus her interaction not just with gems but say, Connie and other females. I can understand the fear and disdain for a "Pearl fins a man" period. with the upcoming eps some of that is around Greg. The idea you'll "get over it" and become lovesick wifey IS a thing.1/2
I’m not sure how many times I have to link sources that prove the Crewniverse’s interpretation of Pearl includes being okeydoke imagining her with another gender, therefore, making bisexual headcanons perfectly plausible. I do love the way those sources are persistently ignored in favor of parroting the same thing over and over and over again, although the sources kinda throw a massive wrench in it. And by “love”, I mean “shaking my head”.
This fixation on forcing one interpretation on others is baffling. Why
do you do it? What do you gain? Some bizarre dominance points? Kissass
with the oh-so-cool kids who suicide baited no less than FOUR people in
this fandom? Do you lose sleep, knowing someone is out there you can’t
control? Does your existence hinge on the whims of my imagination?
By the way, Korrasami are canonly bisexual, stated flat-out by Bryan. Not lesbian. Seems you have trouble seeing that there is more than “gay” or “straight” in general. But hey, a lot of HEADCANONS see them as lesbian, and you know what? I don’t hunt down those people and demand they conform to what I interpret. I don’t run a bunch of hateblogs to echo chamber myself and make it seem I have more backing than I do. Nor do I encourage people to spam and harass ship tags. Funny how “actually this character is lesbian, not bi” headcanons never draw the raw hatred that a bisexual headcanon–for a character with an unconfirmed sexuality–does. Or, excuse me, what’s that, the old “calling her bisexual just so you can ship her with a man”? That’s biphobic as hell. Don’t do that. Your little line of “another grody dude with a lesbian who “sees the light” already sounds bad enough, if you were implying Rose and Greg. Bisexuality isn’t some disease, stop acting like it’s a terrible tragedy to befall a character.
I also find it very interesting that always, always, ALWAYS, people cry
Pearl is the “THE lesbian” of the show. So, uh. Ruby and Sapphire, who kiss, who flirt, who are wholly devoted to one another. who
also have an amazing romantic children’s book, don’t cut it, huh? I wonder why
that is.
You aren’t “evil”, but you do need to realize there is more than “gay”
and “straight”, and we have as much right to headcanon shit as anyone
else. You also need to learn it is not your place to try to stop us.
You can keep repeating the same thing, Lord knows the anti-shippers do, but the creators indicate otherwise–and quite frankly, they have more clout than any of you.
Rebecca Sugar says “pair everyone with everyone else”. You say “pair only those
I personally approve of”. Her deal is way better.
Go focus on your own interpretation of the show. Amazingly, mine actually does not affect yours in any way, I promise, and like any other tired-ass anti, you are the only one trying to say what others can and can’t ship. Your headcanons are cool with me. Return the fucking favor, or at least ignore me and move on with your life.
rebecca sugar wants us to ship everyone with everyone
she does it herself.
Tara has had to repost these(And quite a few other crewniverse things) time and time and time again but not sure why they keep being ignored.
As per usual, shipping antis are trying to use new misinformation to bully those in the SU fandom that ship Pearl with Mayor Dewey–this time, claiming that Deedee Magno-Hall said the pair “had no chance” at Supercon. This is, of course, horseshit, twisted into a pretzel knot to suit their needs.
(a lot of crowd reaction, “OOOOOOHHHHHHH”, applause)
DMH: I am not at liberty to answer that question. Next! No, I’m kidding! Honestly, I, uh, because I am simply the voice of Pearl, I have nothing to do with creation of the show, that’s up to Rebecca and the team. So honestly, I think that Pearl is completely oblivious to Mayor Dewey’s affection towards her. I mean, that’s what I think. I mean, what do you guys think?
(various crowd reactions)
DMH: Does she know? What do you think? Does she know? Is she toying with him? She doesn’t care, she’s like “uh, whatever”?
(various crowd reactions)
DMH: You know, I don’t think that she really–I think it flies over her head. Right? He’s a human!
(A muffled comment from the audience)
DMH: What’s that? Pearl’s a rock, and he’s a human. He’s a Mayor Human. Well, I hope I answered your question! In fact, actually, I can’t, I can’t answer your question. I’m sorry. It’s just–uh–not, uh, part of my–job description.
So, it’s not a condemnation, nor a confirmation–as ever, Rebecca’s stance of “please pair everyone with everyone else, don’t stop 0_0″ holds. (Although it’s really interesting how Deedee completely dunks the classic anti lines of “PEARL HATES MEN” and “DEWEY HITTING ON HER MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE”, even though she could ultimately give no official answers. Antis’ll conveniently forget that, I’ll bet.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But hey! Deedee echoed what a lot of shippers have theorized–Pearl just doesn’t understand humans!)
You’d think if the idea was as terrible as the antis say it is, there would be an actual condemnation, that she’d parrot at least some of the tired tripe they do. Civic duty, amirite? Funny how she didn’t. It’s almost like anti shit doesn’t stick outside their own cliques.(and seriously, at least one of them was running TWO concurrent hateblogs about this. I’m beginning to wonder just how many of them there really are.)
If that doesn’t dissuade the antis, a friendly reminder that the Crewniverse themselves have NO trouble pairing Pearl with men.
But seriously. Everyone, just keep on shipping, Even the antis–the only ones trying to stop anyone is them.
LMAO I was there in the first row in that panel. And when she answered I saw some people’s grins FALL when Deedee didn’t say “No” or “She hates men” And honestly it was hilarious to see them be disappointed 😂😂
@mambocat had a hunch it was a loaded question, and it sounds like it was. Karma is a beautiful thing, lmao.
Now some of them are trying to spin it to fit what they wanted anyway, or just aggressively ignoring it. I have no idea how they fool themselves with clapping their hands over their ears like that. No matter what they say, no matter how many times they say it, no matter how they make shit up and pretend, at the end of the day–reality is that the Crewniverse has drawn Pearl with men, Rebecca Sugar encourages shipping all the things, and that interview dunked their whole “Pearl hates men” spiel even though they were likely fishing for ammunition to harass shippers further. That’s Word Of God over a bunch of abusive asshats yowling with no arguments to counter it, except “ANYWAYS” and a lot of thinly-veiled bigotry.
Reality is, other queer headcanons are welcomed, what a concept.

While the bullying stuff is completely wrong, and 100% not okay, and should never happen. Pearl IS a lesbian. Like… obviously. Ship what you want, at the end of the day I really do not care, but it’s just the sarcastic few comments at the end that bug me. Lesbians have a hard enough time in the media as it is, so stop trying to erase them further like this. I will repeat, if you ship Pewey or whatever, I literally do not care, but the sarcastic comments at the end, just trying to bait someone into getting mad at you is just.. unnecessary. Pearl is very obviously a lesbian, and you can ship what you want, and I agree with this post that you should not bully people for what they like, especially not fictional ships for a cartoon. But this whole post is screaming “Ooo I’m saying she’s not a lesbian, what you gonna do about it?” and it’s not needed.
No one is saying “ooo, what are you going to do about it”. I have been abused over this ship, friends of mine have been abused over this ship, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been called straight, how many times shippers have been called a million despicable things, how many times they’ve had their artwork defaced or mocked, and how many people have been suicide baited.For something anti-shippers hate so much, they trawl the tags looking for people to bully, instead of ignoring it like anyone who isn’t an asshat would. So this is offering proof that the creators do the same thing shippers are doing, giving the shippers solid support from the Word Of God themselves. If you don’t want an argument? Don’t start one.
It isn’t my fault the typical anti-shipper argument consists of saying the same shit over and over again like it was fact (sometimes just making shit up), even though the creators themselves counter it.
Sarcasm? Forgive me (not really) that I have zero respect for bullies and liars, and sometimes it shows. No one but these abusive assholes are telling anyone what they can and can’t ship.
This never even came up until the shipping tags were flooded with harassment,
until people started getting anon hate, until multiple hate blogs
devoted to abusing subscribers of the tags popped up. If they want to
pull that routine, then you better believe they best have a better argument
than “because I said so, straighty”.
Or were we just supposed to meekly weather the abuse? I certainly hope you make a habit of reblogging people who harass the shippers the way you deigned to tone-police this post. That interview was already being used to tell shippers bald-faced lies. Where’s the concern over misinformation?
Where were you when one of the lesbian shippers in the tag was called a fake lesbian?
Where were you all the times I was called straight?
Or maybe the creators want everyone to see themselves in the show, and the characters, and have fun with that. Even dirty bisexuals like me, who clearly just need an “excuse” to ship two characters I enjoy together.
You have your lesbian Pearl. I have my bisexual Pearl. I don’t shit on your lawn, you don’t shit on mine. How’s that for a deal? I was already keeping up my end of it, but that wasn’t good enough for these bullies.
In any case, when the harassers stop attacking, I will be more than happy to stop defending. Good luck with that one.
Hey Tara remember when the show only had a few episodes and I rped Dewey a short while and that’s what started the ship for us way before the ‘hot one’ scene happened? That was fun.
SU fandom turned poisonous so fast I just stayed away tbh. Now I just watch the show and talk about stuff outside tumblr.
I don’t know how such a large chunk of the Steven Universe fandom can apparently be so horrible and toxic when love and acceptance and forgiveness is such a huge theme of the show. I get it, it’s kind of a gross ship and you don’t have to like it, but what the hell, guys? How can you honestly value a fictional character over a real person? How is one person’s weird ship hurting you personally?
This is the “Someone Drew Rose Skinny (years before we saw her full body)” debacle all over again. If you’re really wishing death on someone, ON A REAL ACTUAL PERSON WHO PROBABLY HAS A FAMILY AND LOVED ONES, because you think they have a bad ship or whatever, please reevaluate your priorities. I’m not even really mad, you guys. I’m just really sad and disappointed that such a wonderful show inspires people to act so hateful sometimes.
most of the ‘ships’ you are talking about are:
pedophilic
lesbian erasure
abusive
posting those is harmful because 1) it can bring back traumatic memories for people who have survived abuse and pedophilia, and 2) there are kids in this fanbase. if they see that shit, they’re gonna’ learn it’s normal, or get scarred by it, or get in trouble with their parents. it can seriously put lives in danger and it needs to stop. lesbian erasure ships are also bad because gay people desperately need positive representation in children’s media, so when people ship a canon lesbian with a man and pretending they’re bi (there is nothing wrong with being bi but calling a lesbian bi is bad) is taking away vital representation that helps us fit in with society and love ourselves, too. no one is “wishing death” on anyone, we’re just asking them to stop posting toxic content for the safety of other people. most of those also go against tumblr’s guidelines anyway so it’s not like you should be posting them in the first place.
Oh hey, looks like the antis are trying to circle the wagons to cover their abusive asses, as per usual.
I can’t get through the first five minutes of Guardians Of The Galaxy because that scene triggers me. An actual, genuine trigger, not the bullshit excuse this site has made that word into. I shriek. I cry uncontrollably. Because that’s exactly how my father died when I was there to see it.
It isn’t Marvel’s fucking job to babysit me. I go into the theater late, or skip the video ahead.
It isn’t their job to babysit me, and it’s no one’s job on this website to babysit any of you.
Block what you don’t like, XKit it, stay out of the shipping tags, and if you see content against the TOS, you report it to Tumblr like a productive person would do.
Your groups have driven four people to suicide attempts or actually carrying it through, and yet you have the gall to pretend you are not harmful.
And let’s get on to the shit you assholes abused me over, the so-called “lesbian erasure”. You know, the thing you care more about than an actual human being, a fake-ass animation cel character you slobber over/identify as/whatever.
Like all the other antis, when in doubt, you make shit up. Like this fake tweet you circulate like it was gospel:
Are you really saying bi women can’t have had a long and devoted relationship to another woman? Because your declaration that is why Pearl is a lesbian hinges on it. And if you ship Pearlmethyst, you have to explain how Amethyst enjoying taking male bodies works into that. Oh, wait.
Y’all just erase that because it’s inconvenient to you. You can’t stand the idea that filthy, lesser sexualities exist and that we have our own interpretations.
And you can pack “coding”, because so many of you were convinced Rebecca was a “coded” lesbian and hey, look where that got you.
No one ever told any of you that you couldn’t headcanon however you like. Shippers shipped in their own tags until you got the brilliant idea to spam in the tags and harass, even after staff repeatedly banned some of your asses. You took to harassing a bisexual that she could not have a bisexual headcanon, and I lost count of how many times your circle have called me straight. Every time you bring up Pewey, you always chalk it up to straight.
So quit pretending to care about erasure. The only thing you care about is abusing people that ship things you don’t like. You’re hypocrites and for all your throwing around lesbophobia, you sure love to ‘splain to a bisexual that what you’re doing isn’t biphobia, nope, no sir.
“
so when people ship a canon lesbian with a man and pretending they’re bi “
SO WANNA KNOW WHAT IS TOXIC?
BIPHOBIA. HARASSMENT.
You could, you know, blacklist the Pewey tag if you don’t like it. “ we’re just asking them to stop posting toxic content for the safety of other people,” no you’re using it as an excuse to be a fucking asshole.
