@ princesskimochi - But was Jasper going to “demolish” the gems? Her ship was destroyed, she was injured, on her knees, and she seemed to know she was finished on her own. “Don’t think you’ve won. You only beat me because you’re a fusion.” I took that as a general statement of “don’t think you’ve won against Yellow Diamond”, not “I’m gonna get up off the ground any minute now and kick your ass.” Garnet was no longer there “just one on two”, the other Crystal Gems were there as well, all of them on their feet, outnumbering her. The Gems were the ones with the actual advantage in that scene, not Jasper. The only way Jasper had the potential to be a real threat was if she fused and she knew it.
So why did Lapis not simply refuse? The Crewniverse has confirmed fusions can’t be forced. Where she was trying to escape to before Jasper asked her to fuse was also confusing. She wasn’t heading toward Steven and the Gems. Her direction seemed to imply she was trying to get away from the scene altogether. We probably won’t know her true motives for a while yet, but even though she was grateful to Steven for helping her in the Ocean Gem/Mirror Gem arc, it doesn’t seem like Steven was at the forefront of her mind here. When she had the chance to help him on the ship, she refused, even though she’s particularly strong and things may have gone a lot differently if she had. She had tried to cover for him, but it failed. In taking Jasper prisoner, she was containing the only Homeworld Gem that knew Lapis had survived the crash. Was she doing it to try to avoid the “Diamond Authority” when they inevitably returned to Earth, counting Steven as a lost cause? We’ll have to wait and see, but “protecting him” doesn’t make sense under the circumstances.
@ hermesnitram: Is impatiently pulling Lapis to the forefront for information, or grabbing her when she was trying to escape really equal to striking someone in the face in a relationship? Jasper is hamfisted as hell, but I don’t think the references to Utena fit in this situation. Lapis wasn’t a personal object to Jasper. Lapis was a fugitive from a world the Homeworld armies were apparently driven from, and she seemed to have some knowledge of “Rose Quartz” that she was suspiciously withholding. Anger management issues? Jasper did not go out of her way to harm her, or even talk to her much. She called her a “brat” at the end, that’s not remotely comparable to even the one example of Saionji Kyoichi’s verbal abuse you provided. Hell, she fought when challenged, but otherwise, “you don’t need me for this.” I’m not trying to claim Jasper is a beautiful cinnamon roll too pure for this world, she’s an asshole, but I really think some are seriously misrepresenting her failings.
Nor did Lapis not “call her out” in those two instances: in the first, the moment she was pulled forward, she yanked angrily away, and in the second, she overpowered Jasper in the fusion. I really think too many people underestimate Lapis, too. Lapis has a power level in her abilities that is pretty scary when you think about it. Want to get home? Suck up the ocean, even with a cracked gem, and fight the ones who trapped you! Injured from a spaceship crash? Agree to a fusion and completely overwhelm the one you fused with, even keeping them from breaking the fusion! She is perfectly willing to fight when she thinks she can win. What she believes she can’t win against is the “Diamond Authority”.
@ susiron: While I agee with you that Lapis’ motivation was ultimately to take control of the situation for herself, Jasper’s speech to her was a sales pitch, presenting a personal advantage Lapis would find in allying with her. No guilt-tripping for potential treason or “hey, do this and we’ll go easy on you”, or even “do this or we WON’T go easy on you”, just pointing out the Crystal Gems held her prisoner for all that time, she could avenge herself on them as a fusion.. “Lapis, listen! Fuse with me!” There was no demand, she couldn’t demand.
Why the Crystal Gems apparently just stood there and watched the deal go down is anyone’s guess, but Lapis was the one in the place of power there. If the fusion hadn’t happened, Jasper would have been subdued another way. This was not endgame. That’s why Malachite seemed like overkill to me. And again, even fused, Lapis was so strong she was able to hold a Gem in fusion against their will. Lapis is not helpless by any stretch of the imagination.
@ gemkio: See all the above. I’m not looking to absolve Jasper of anything she actually did, just point out where I believe her problems are being framed as something they aren’t and why I believe that.
TL;DR: Tagging noncon sexual fanart as D/s or BDSM
is incorrect, which is the statement that began all this in the first
place.

i really love your steven universe art! I hope to see more stuff with rose and greg and also the universal rose au (the best au in the fandom imo)!
you are so nice anon!! I can’t say about making more in general SU becuase I gotta admit I am more in mood for it at the moment but I probably will do more of my small Universal Rose au since everybody love it so much even if I have done so little of it
I probably will keep drawing small things of everything tho, so don’t lose hope and enjoy the parodies and jokes!
In your comic involving Rose's room, did you knowingly choose to parody the episode where Kif gets pregnant, or was that a happy accident (ha)?
Indeed is a reference of that episode, I mean, doing the moon thing would have now be too much of a coincidence if it was
I love that episode, Kif is a precious character and so is Greg and Rose, I love the idea of Rose being so much like Steven! I hope taht when we finally see her and having her being more casual than the video episode she acts just like that!!
kaijukeizer said: Finally someone said it, like I’m okay with shipping anyone with anyone but not
when the forefront of the ship is some sort of abuse like with the
majority of Lapis/Jasper or 98.99% of Joker/Harley
This, absolutely. When I ran a Harley Quinn blog that split her from Joker, I received some of the most distressing anger because I didn’t recognize their “love”. (I seriously wish I was shitting when I say “consensual abuse” and “consensual rape” were presented as arguments.)
Jasper does not have agency in the Malachite fusion. She doesn’t want to stay fused, she actively was struggling against it, and just like Harley I twitch when I see that situation given the 50 Shades treatment—and like 50 Shades, labeled as something it’s not: Sane, Safe, Consensual. Come back when the ship practices that and then and only then do we have a deal. :T Otherwise I am side-eying the crap out of you.
I need to reblog this for receipts because I am blown away that anyone could watch Steven Universe, correctly identify an abusive relationship, and then proceed to sympathize with the abuser character and call the abuse victim who was grabbed physically twice, locked away in a prison cell, and actively encouraged Steven not to fight because it would go easier for them if they didn’t, the abuser.
Everyone avoid the fuck out of this person they have a lot of healing to do, and that’s a generous appraisal.
Reblog for all the receipts you want, friend, I’m a survivor of childhood abuse, my father and I were both physically abused by my mother. I have an inkling what it’s about. And avoid me all you want! I invite you to kindly pack the rest of that condescending sentence up in your ass, though.
Jasper and Peridot are soldiers apparently under “Yellow Diamond”. They are approaching Earth from a military standpoint, not as a personal relationship. Why was Lapis locked up? It’s an interesting question. Was she caught sending the signal in The Message? Or was it because she was suspected of involvement with Rose’s movement after it was clear she knew about Steven? That is a reasonable precaution, if so. You seem to be trying to judge them based on the Crystal Gems, the “good guys”, but you can’t, because they’re commanded by the Homeworld and don’t recognize the things that the Crystal Gems stand for. It was a defensive measure. You may as well call the Crystal Gems’ handling of the corrupted gems “abuse” in that case.
Lapis wasn’t afraid of Jasper. Jasper was just a grunt with an attitude. Lapis was afraid of the ones Jasper was reporting to. Lapis was afraid of the
“Diamond Authority”.
Jasper had every opportunity to be a real sadist if she wanted. She could have tortured, killed, what have you. She didn’t. She neutralized Garnet by unfusing her, not killing her, apparently not harming her, and those unfusing weapons seemed to be a standard security measure, not a personal weapon, since Peridot tried to use one when she was in danger. Jasper could have crushed those helpless unfused gems. Instead, she completed her mission in the most coldly effective way possible and the only thing she did was yell at Sapphire to stop singing. Even when Garnet challenged her, she tried to unfuse Garnet again.
I am not condoning Jasper for grabbing Lapis to drag her forward, or keeping her from escaping at the end, although the latter makes sense if she is suspected of helping traitors to the Homeworld. But neither of those are sexual abuse, which is what some art has been suggesting under tags that involve safe, sane, consensual play.
Jasper asked Lapis to fuse, offering a chance at revenge that she was sure Lapis would want to take. No threats. Fusions can’t be forced. Lapis agreed. And then Lapis proceeded to take Jasper prisoner. I personally found that excessive because there was no earthly way Jasper was still a threat at that point, but there you have it. She took her prisoner, supposedly forever or as long as she could hold the fusion, you know, the same thing Lapis condemned the Crystal Gems for doing to her all those years ago.
Rebecca Sugar has remarked she does not like the ultimate villain/ultimate hero tropes. This is another example of that. Lapis was not a beautiful cinnamon roll in this situation any more than Jasper ever was, but it was Jasper who said “no” and Lapis who did it anyway.
And even that still isn’t the same as taking someone who is saying “no” and then sexually assaulting them to “teach them a lesson”. Jasper was not an abuser in that situation, but the shit in that fanart sure as hell makes LAPIS out to be one.
And that was the point. Grats for missing it.
I seriusly thinking I appreciate more the possibilty of parodies with SU here than anything else
Someone requested for a pirate Ferdinand and Pitch and since I think I never had neither draw Sandy as such welp I took the chance for some pirates blacksand while I was on it YOOO!

at first I though about drawing Garnet with a gakuran like she use in those promo draws from the SU crew, but at some point I though about those kindergarden uniforms the kiddies use and couldn’t resist you guys!!!!
