Place your bets on Jasper's fate now folks

Place your bets on Jasper's fate now folks.

Corrupted and Bubbled.

Chained down and raped repeatedly by the townsfolk.

Dubs. Also, where do I apply for citizenship to that town?

I hope she's okay. Lapis gets showered with love and sympathy despite having done worse.

Are you kidding? Sup Forums and Tumblr are filled with Jasper lovers

she'll stay on the farm with the other two and get next to no screen time like them and only be seen for big events.

And how will Steven convince her to do that?

I think he means in canon.
But really the Gems are pretty quick to forgive and trust. So there's no reason to believe Jasper will be shunned unless she keeps being a dick.

>alone at sea
>Yellowtail is fishing and pulls in Jasper, who after realizing she's stuck and genuinely uncomfortable with the water, proceeds to help Yellowtail to afford Jasper passage off the boat

How did she end up at Sea? She fell into a lava pit.

>Jasper's Corruption

Difference between Lapis and Jasper is that Lapis has a tragic backstory to explain how she ended up the way she is. Anything about Jasper having a sad background is just theories and headcanons at this point.

Ok that makes way more sense. Yeah I think Steven will try to empathize with her and try to smooth things over with her and Lapis

The cold hard truth

You just walk into Mayor Dewey's office and give him five bucks.

For very different reasons.

But she hasn't done worse than Peridot, she's only been "more successful" in that she got the Gems all the way off world before being foiled and Peridot was party to that.

The mother of Steven's new half sibling.

I mean you're right but that still isn't canonically giving people an incentive to become invested in her the way they want us to be invested in Lapis.

Also, she just hasn't had enough screen time. Her first appearance in months lasted all of ten seconds and she had no lines.

The Watermelon Stevens will rescue Jasper and show her kindness. Which will melt Jasper's hate and anger. Allowing her to move to the Barn and be grouchy but non violent.

alone at sea is probably just these 2 goofballs

Once you go Quartz, there's nothing else for your Schwartz
She's a major threat, they definitely wanted to see her body fall in that pit. Similarly it not being dwelled on probably means she's not dead. She's definitely going to come back. I think the fact she's just out there is pretty decent incentive to become invested, I mean these people KNOW how this fandom gets. They get overinvested in bit characters with no reason to play a big part. They couldn't be dumb enough not to think people wouldn't start having wild theories about her.
>Jasper becomes Champion of the Watermelons
I'd like that.

Nowhere did I deny that Jasper is coming back or that the crew doesn't want people to think or speculate about her, she's just not their top priority right now and all of this "well she deserves more sympathy than Lapis" stuff is, considering how much we know about Jasper, utter bullshit. Jasper fans have to stop turning this into a Lapis vs. Jasper thing because frankly they're on two different levels right now.

Oh okay.

Jasper goes into the lava and said lava goes to the center of the earth and that cluster.
Bad things happen and Jasper becomes the head of the cluster, cluster loses chance of becoming whole and the series ends with lots of end of eva-like scenarios/muck.

You tell em.

Remember how innocently On the Run started? It'll turn into then discovering Jasper and Steven trying to stop them from killing each other.

It's kind of looks like On the Run Mk. II if you think about it.

>Steven and a gem away from the rest of CGs.
>On a mode of transportation that can take them far away in a short amount of time.
>Lighthearted at first.

Wouldn't be surprised if it had a massive tonal shift in the second half.

Lapis put the ocean back eventually. And the fish were fine. The coral and seaweed probably wasn't

Cracked gem which Steven will heal. She'll then grudgingly join the Crystal Gems because she owes Steven a life debt.


At some point the life debt will be repaid and she'll be poofed, but by then she will have grown to love Steven and regenerate with a star on her tits

>all of this "well she deserves more sympathy than Lapis" stuff is, considering how much we know about Jasper, utter bullshit
Based on what we know, it makes sense.

Jasper's backstory is pretty easily inferred from Peridot - She's a typical Quartz who was raised from "birth" to be a loyal soldier. All she's done so far is what would be seen as the "right" thing to do on HW.

Lapis nearly made the Earth uninhabitable for purely selfish reasons, and tortured someone for months out of pure spite.

>Tragic
Her backstory isn't tragic, its idiotic, which is kind of the point. Not blaming the people who put her in the mirror and instead blaming the ones who only had her in their possession for 2 decades is just dumb.
Plus, its obvious that she didn't give Steven the whole story, she was pretty vague on a lot of shit.

They could run into her fighting Gem Mutants or Corrupted Gem Monsters who are attracted to an injured Gem and all alone. Steven would save her

And then there's the Rubies and other Homeworld Gems who are coming to blame her for the failed mission, she's a fugitive from Homeworld with no one to turn to right now.

And Steven has his dumb telepathic dream powers so he could end up in her head again and see her vulnerability

Yes lets just gloss over Lapis's 1000s of years of trauma and fragile mental state. Nope she's just spiteful

>Based on what we know, it makes sense.
In your opinion, maybe, but don't treat your theorizing as if it's: a. fact and b. has already happened in the show. Jasper fans literally get mad because a character who has a back story that can be interpreted as tragic gets more sympathy and attention than their favorite, who we know pretty much nothing about, doesn't.

A season-long arc of disgrace and misery, followed by Steven forgiving her.
The Ruby squad will return and reveal they had actually come to *arrest* Jasper for illegal fusion.
Jasper will become partially corrupted, but cured with some modern gemtech before it's too late.
The newfound cure will explicitly not work on Centipeetle but have potential to be improved.

She literally is. Being hurt does not excuse hurting people purely because you want to cause pain.

She knows what she's doing is wrong.

>Being hurt does not excuse hurting people purely because you want to cause pain.
She only did this to Jasper, she legitimately disliked Peridot and had a right to express that.

Gone forever.

>Its just Lapis and Steven
>Alone at Sea
__

Did she have the right to steal the ocean?

Maybe Yellowtail and Sour Cream will be there.

We can get some more "Just let him be a DJ" stuff

>C'mon, I only locked up and tortured ONE guy in my basement for six months!

Did Jasper have the right to kidnap a small child?

>still believing in "modern Homeworld hates mixed fusions" meme

Corrupted, healed thru believin in steven, ends up being disillusioned about homeworld and joining the cg, eventual jaspearl endgame because pearl likes dem hulking quartzes and they both have a mutual boner for battlefield honour and glory

She doesn't even know what a child is. As far as she knew, she was (non-lethally!) detaining an enemy combatant.

I really doubt Lapis understood what removing the ocean meant for the biological creatures of earth

And probably didn't care that much desu

why is this gif so slow?

She was taking war criminal Rose Quartz to be judged by her leader

I honestly thought we were talking about Lapis lashing out on a personal level and didn't think about the ocean thing.

That said, no, it wasn't right that she tried to steal the ocean and it wasn't right that she trapped Jasper (but for two different reasons in my opinion). But it's also really hard to look at what she went through and just dismiss it because she didn't apologize (who the hell is she going to apologize for for the ocean thing?) and because in a show that's about forgiveness and love, so far she's received both. Jasper fans really show their asses when they talk about Lapis.

That's a strong word. It's not like a Saw movie.

Don't worry user, they'll run into Jaspers floating body, causing her and Steven to fight over what to do with her.

>both sides pulling the "she didn't know any better!!" card
Maybe we're not so different, you and I.

>YFW Jasper gets corrupted

Jasperfags and Lapisfags are one in the same, you all should do what they did as Malachite, combine your hate into a powerful force.

For months she literally kept Jasper chained up at the bottom of the ocean, using its weight to hold them down so that they couldn't even see light

Steven's a pretty powerful combatant who exhibited the gem and powers of the enemy rebel general, so yes, Jasper absolutely did.

Not corrupted enough to lose her voice since her VA is in the studio as much as the rest.

because its the pace of the actual clip?

>Both sides

I'm actually a jasperfag, just stating that lapis couldn't have known what stealing the ocean could do to life.

Still Jasper did something much less harmful and selfish. It's not like she understood Steven isn't Rose.

I just thought it was funny sequence of comments.

I'm starting to think Jasper and Lapis will reconcile long before their obsessive fan groups do

Can't reconcile when Lapis is gonna commit suicide eventually.

>YFW they're just recording her screaming and reversing them + slowing them down to produce corrupted Jasper's cries a la Evangelion.

Probably.

Yet Jasper still was on good enough terms to want to work with her against Alexandrite and even praised the concept of fusion

Because at that point she gave up on escaping and decided to just try and take over, which apparently Lapis was able to keep a hold of until they ended up at Watermelon Island.
And Lapis was very willing to work with Jasper on killing the CG, they have that in common, you have to admit.

Steven will somehow release Bismuth who is the next big bad that the Crystal Gems have to face.

Jasper is the only one strong enough to stand up to her (maybe Bismuth nullifies fusions)

They're forced to work together and over time the Crystal Gems and the Barn Gems all start to trust and accept her

Bismuth also gets a redemption arc

It's possible because the crewniverse apparently loves Lapis and glosses over all the shit she's pulled because muh emo blue waifu.

I'd love it if they'd address what a massive cunt she's been, but noooo, she's pretty so she must be nice

...

Lapis had been forced to concentrate and keep control for months. Gems may not need sleep but they do get tired

Lapis lost focus and Jasper took over once they started killing Watermelon Stevens

But Lapis hates the CG too, she tried to turn Steven against them

Almost every art involving her has her as a depressed, stick in the mud bitch, Rebecca has said that manipulation is a big part of her character, and Zuke has said that Lapis is selfish.
Trust me user, shit is gonna go down with Lapis.

Anyone else want to see other aliens in Steven Universe?

Obviously they must exist for the Gem Empire to need Clusters and bruisers like Jasper. They must be at war with somebody, and I'd like to see how Steven handles that shit.

Sugar never said that, she said manipulation was a part of a previous character Lapis is based on.

>I'd love it if they'd address what a massive cunt she's been, but noooo, she's pretty so she must be nice
I like how you're bitter about this when there's a 95% chance Jasper will get the same exact treatment, just switch 'pretty' with some other adjective describing her.

>the Gems will want to bubble her with Peridot and Lapis supporting their decision
>Steven yells NOOOOO like he always does, you're hearing it right now
>Jasper deserves a chance!
>Pearl and Garnet look at each other like they always do, Pearl shrugs like she always does
>for some reason they leave Steven alone with her
>Steven sings a quirky song, Jasper blushes
>episode ends with everyone sharing a laugh

You do realize that it took a good amount of time for Peri to be redeemed and Lapis herself still has issues that need to be resolved. If a Jasper redemption happens, it'll take awhile.

I wasn't trying to sum up her entire redemption. That shit's gonna be like trying to give a cat a bath.

It might be more interesting if Steven is still afraid of her and it's Peridot and Amethyst who want to give her a chance

Even still, a month from now will see Bismuth/Jaspers intire Redemption arc/Centipeedle/ potential homeworld invasion. Its all too much lads

Lapis really hasn't done much except wreck the van and hurt Greg. But the whole ocean thing was just her trying to fuck off and she only fought the gems after being confronted. Perfit is the one who's done worse while getting showered with love and sympathy.

Gotta build up a small army to take on Homeworld.

>for 2 decades
Did Pearl or someone say that? I only remember Lapis speaking of how she was left behind at the galaxy warp for 'ages' before she was found.

And it's not dumb to blame the Crystal Gems instead of the Homeworld Gems. The Homeworld Gems made a mistake in confusing her for a Crystal Gem, while the Crystal Gems betrayed their species and caused the war that led to her being attacked and stuck on Earth.

>and get next to no screen time like them and only be seen for big events

Those two are literally getting spotted in multiple scenarios in promos for the upcoming episodes. Stop with this meme.

...

>when there's a 95% chance Jasper will get the same exact treatment
I'd be bitter as fuck about that too since the potential storyline about addressing Jasper's past and the intense ideological conflict regarding her unquestioning loyalty to HW vs the respect for Rose /Steven and seeing their point is one of the things I hope to see most.

So if they just gloss over all that delicious character-building angst and go with some "lol baseball fart jokes she took Steven flying once she's one of the good guys now" tier bullshit arc for Jasper I shall be quite upset

People noticed pretty quickly that Pearl was in her outfit that she has during Greg's flashbacks. So, Lapis most likely spent 20 years in Pearls head.

Unless Steven saves her life or heals her, she won't switch sides

>So if they just gloss over all that delicious character-building angst and go with some "lol baseball fart jokes she took Steven flying once she's one of the good guys now" tier bullshit arc for Jasper I shall be quite upset
They did that with Peridot, they're probably gonna do that with Jasper.

>YD's fleet vs the Jasper, Peridot,Pearl, Steven, Connie, Cenitpeedle (emerald) Amethyst, Bismuth and Lapis

Peridot had multiple episodes of learning that she's an idiot and improve her relationship with each Gem.

GGRRAAAAAAH

I fear you might be right, but I'll still be all condensed salt crystals if/when that happens

Why do people think Bismuth is going to finally be addressed in the show?

Is Garnet kill?

I'm expecting a general foot soldier at homeworld is fodder in comparison to Jasper, so I could a small team be able to take on an army.

fuck me I knew I forgot the most important one
TCM website mate

They teased her in that Lapis flashback

It might be a while before they address her. But they're laying the groundwork.

I mean I'd chalk it up to they just don't have the time, especially considering Jasper will probably end up a peripheral CG the way Peridot (and probably Lapis will be) are. Even Lapis' tragic back story was summed up in about the span of twenty seconds.
