>>92129430
They were watching canadian soap in the barn, since those two don't give a shit about townies.

>So uh, where the hell were lapis and peridot?
So uh, who cares?

Lapis is actually Aqua and Peridot is shit anyway

Sugar has no idea what to do with them since she canned the Cluster in a single episode and Jasper in a mini-arc, that's why she benched them for fillers and barely anything plot related.

A fragile, faded Lapis Lazuli taking on Blue Diamond's favorite Aquamarine? You flatter yourself. Maybe in your prime you could have been halfway entertaining, but now you're just a washed up slag. Why do you think no one ever came for you? Because you're just not that important.

>>92129569
I just read that in her voice.

Because this show, much like AT before it, is burdened with that 'almost' problem.

The shows are 'almost' good. The amazing ingredients they cook up are 'almost' utilized. The characters 'almost' get arcs and side characters 'almost' break out of that status and become truly relevant.

Then each one snaps back into the status quo that got boring a long time ago, and it'd 'almost' be acceptable if the dumped and misused ingredients weren't presented in such a way that it didn't feel like a kick in the balls for the viewers.

>>92129430
They were busy smoking weed and being useless fucks.

>>92129793
you just summed up my entire dorm in a sentence

Never forget that Lapis and Peridot have phones and Steven could have called them at any point in the episode.

>>92129793
I can easily imagine Lapis lazing around, hitting the bong while watching trash reality tv.

Is this, dare I say, the Homestuck Rosemary effect of shafting good characters into a generic lesbian couple?

>>92129837
They do?

>>92129855
I thought the rumor was that Sugar was jealous at how popular they had gotten since she didn't create them and so pushed them to the side lines

>>92129622

Daily reminder that, in their prime, Lapis and Peridot were the better gems and way better characters than Pearl, Garnet and amethyst. That is why Sugar hates them. They are better that her shitty characters

>>92129882
Yes. For some reason the main three gems don't but the two reject gems do

>>92129888
>>92129906
What? Did Sugar not create Lapis and Peridot? Surely that can't be right.

>>92129915
The main gems are the most stupid gems

>>92129927
Not sure about Lapis, but Peridot was created by the team as a whole while the crystal gems are all directly made by Sugar

>>92129901
>90% of all Lapis pictures now contain memedot
thanks a lot zuke

>>92129888
That does not sound very much like a thing that would be true and it sounds very much like a thing that people would make up, so I'm going to assume it's that.

They were just props that served their use and they couldn't figure out what to do with them afterwards.

>>92129927
She created all the other gems 100% herself with no input.

The others were a group effort by the rest of the team and she had little to possibly no input

She got angry that the most popular gems aren't hers so now they sit in the meme barn and do nothing, even on important episodes like the last one

>>92129953
So? Peridot only became shit once the cluster was pacified and got even memeier then when she lost her limb enhancers.
As boss she could have stopped that devolution at any time. The question is why she allowed this degeneracy to happen.

>>92129915
In a better show Birdmom would have a phone for the sole purpose of texting Steven constantly

>>92130048
I doubt it. Sugar seems chill af, and not a spiteful person at all. I'm sure all she wants to do is make the show good. Besides, Lapis and Peridot would've added literally nothing to that bomb.

I seem to recall that Mirror Gem was planned from the start, so I think Lapis was her creation.

>>92130081
>why she allowed this degeneracy to happen.
Sugar hates Peridot.

>>92130123

I thought peridot was Sugar's way of fulfilling her invader zim redemption arc fanfiction

She fired the wallpaper guy because he was "expensive" and then hired random tumblr artists

>>92130154
Peridot was not her creation

>>92129430
>Lapis could have easily stopped the homeworld ship without the gems needing to fuse.
except she couldn't
aquamarinse with her dildo wand is fucking OP

the only one i see that would have any effect is peridot, since she may know something about the technology.

>>92130184
Wallpaper guy?
Every video I've seen of her she seems real chill, and other people have enjoyed working with her (besides Zuke), I'm not gonna conjecture beyond that.

>>92130184
>she fired an expensive background artists and hired people who would work for cheap because she wanted to focus the budget elsewhere
And?

>>92130232
>Every video I've seen
Nice logic there

>>92130306
Oh fuck off.

>>92129953
That explains a lot. Sugar doesn't want her OC donut steels being upstaged by better Gems so she keeps them locked up.

>>92130327
Your assumptions and the rumor shit are both equally retarded.

>>92129430
Lapis and Peridot are always awol for situations where they're needed

>>92130396
There is no reason to believe Sugar is some spiteful, vindictive person. That's all I'm claiming.

If anything, Lapis and Peridot will go with the crystal gems to rescue Steven, yeah?
i mean, all those crystal gems bubbled at the human zoo could also be something too, I for sure thought the crystal gems would take some of those bubbled gems with them

>>92129939
Garnet and Pearl have become so out of character in the later episodes. Garnet is unusually cool with finding out navy ruby stole the ship back, and is really into herself apparently (the drawing scene in are you my dad?). Pearl seems to be less serious about things/ acts over the top about most things

>>92130478
to be fair you don't know the women personally,

>>92130527

>Garnet and Pearl have become so out of character in the later episodes.
i agree
idk if its character progression or flanderization though.

But the 3 main gems are boring, and I much rather watch Lapis and Peridot do shit.

>>92130504
Garnet has always been vain, check season one to see how many times she emphasized she did things whenever the other CGs say "we". And remember that, once upon a time, Pearl and Amethyst actually got along consistently, now that Pearl is actually making progress with her Rose baggage, she's going back to that.

>>92130730
Amethyst was actually on point this bomb in my opinion but she didn't have much to say overall. The New Crystal Gems had a lot of potential but they ended up just spinning their wheels. Peridot has become so corny and lapis hasn't done much besides be selfish

>>92129837
Lapis doesn't have a phone and like in previous threads pointed out; first there was no urgency. When there was he used his phone understandably to track Connie and when they confronted Aquamarine and Topaz there was literally no time to call them.

Fact: Lapis and Peridot are at there best when its just them alone with Steven.
When its somehow involves Lapis and Peridot or all three of them its terrible.
In conclusion Lapis and Peridot should leave the barn and fuck Steven.

>>92132189
have they canonically fused yet?

>>92132483
no

>>92130196
>>92131866
>>92131959

Peridot may need to gesticulate to use her powers, but Lapis certainly doesn't.

Absolutely nothing could have prevented Lapis from ripping Aquamarine's asshole a new one. They were literally fighting her over the ocean.

And that's exactly why they weren't in the episodes. Plot convenience.

>>92132573
Idk anon, aquas wand makes her the stronk. She killed alexandrite in one blow. Even a jasper x lapis fusion couldn't do that

>>92129888
Lapis was Sugar's creation. She always had her manifestation scene in mind since the early stages

>>92132757
Power levels are bullshit.

>>92132757
I'm still wondering why that made alex poof though

>>92132958
I think it was actually being in shock about Steven revealing his identity to HW. Fusions have poofed before because the gems being completely distracted by shock and other heavy emotions.
Remember how in The Return Opal fell apart the moment Steven returned to the gems.

Guys, can i get a link for the last episode? I can't find shit on a phone.

>>92132757

The wand makes her weak, not strong. It would take no effort for Lapis to take it away from her, even while trapped by it.

I dont quite understand why Lapis or Peridot likes that Barn seeing as how they are inorganic that means they could sleep in the fucking ocean and still be completely fine.

how would they reliably get there in time before the gems left with the human,s Steven and the Gems had no idea if they had a lot of time or not.

>>92133548
What if Peridot gets pregnant?

>>92133809
She dies.

>>92133585

There's a teleporter near the barn and Lapis can fly faster than a jet plane at the very least and like a million times faster than the speed of light if she actually flew back to Homeworld on her own.

>>92133823
Actually, gems can give birth without problems if they keep their gem core.

>>92133548
MOAR

>>92129430
People are still on this meme? Aquamarine froze fucking Alexandrite without even breaking a sweat. She would have frozen Lapis and Peridot immediately if they were there.

>>92129953
>>92130362
Lapis was based on an old OC of Sugar's that was a self insert for when she was going through an abusive relationship. Fuck off with this bullshit.

Lapis has always sucked as a character and had no personality. She was only interesting as a plot device reacting to things and suggesting that the Crystal Gems weren't actually pure good guys; a plot point that went fucking nowhere except for Rose and ended up being bullshit when we saw her backstory, since the CGs didn't put her in the mirror.

Get over it. The only thing Lapis was ever good for is looking bland and pretty and being angsty at proper times. And she's a full Sugar creation.

>>92130504
I don't want to hear anyone complaining about Pearl. She's gotten an insane amount of attention and development and isn't done.

They've just utterly ruined Garnet. The hypest reveal and episode of the whole show ended up destroying her character. Sugar decided she didn't need to grow anymore, and now she just makes quips and defuses. Even Steven just wants her to defuse all the time.

Lapis is the most boring character on the show and Peridot is the most annoying character on the show, together they are autistic and a pain to watch. I'm glad the writers don't string them along during important events with the OG CGs because they'd ruin the episodes.

>>92135050
THIS. If they left Lapis and Peridot behind and just had it be the old team CGs on the rescue mission to Homeworld, it'd be amazing. All writer's pet Peridot does is chew scenery and steal screentime for everyone else for memes and Lapis is a nobody.

>>92134971
You know that abusive relationship bullshit is a meme generated on tumblr and you're a retard for bringing it up to unironically, right?

>>92134914

That's the thing, you could easily have made it work. Amethyst gets poofed in the fight, no Alexandrite. Peridot and Lapis hold the ship down to buy some time, Aqua uses her wand on Lapis -maybe even going so far as to poof her. Peridot can't hold the thing by herself, ship starts to get away, Steven makes his bargain, Amy comes back and helps form Alexandrite just in time to catch the falling townies.

There. All power level issues have been solved while also involving Lapis and Peridot.

>>92135218
>power level "issues"

>>92135090
The comic was made to help her through a tough time and Lapis was her self insert. I'm not going to go into the idiotic Tumblr theory that it means JASPER IS DIRECTLY HER ABUSER but it is what it is.

>>92135218
So everything turns out the same but with added work and VAs in the episode.

Lapis and Peridot didn't have to be there.

>>92135442
The theory of Rebecca being in an abusive relationship at all is what's idiotic retard

They could have easily plugged this hole by Steven trying to call them and getting "weird interference" from the gem ship, but saying the matter of searching was too urgent to go and get them from the barn.

>>92135502
She literally said the comic was about coping with her bad relationship.

>>92135478
>Lapis and Peridot didn't have to be there.

Nobody had to fucking be there. What's your point?

>>92135546
She literally didn't and you're a retard

>>92135577
That them being there makes no difference at all and crying for them to be like they would have changed something or won the fight, as the OP suggested, is retarded. It was fine that they weren't present.

>>92135050

>>92135954
I like Peridot, but I completely agree with you. Never thought about Lapis and Peridot needing to be there or how it didn't make sense they weren't there.
However if the gems go on a rescue mission to get him (and Lars) I think it's more relevant the whole team is there nor would it make sense if they forgot to inform the two of them than.

>>92135967
>this is what perifags actually think

>>92136054
Agreed. Complaining about them not taking the time to call them in I Am My Mom is stupid, but if they left Lapis and Peridot behind on an effort to go to Homeworld to rescue Steven, then I could see the anger. I think in this case everyone was too caught up with what was going on to think about calling for backup. The CGs aren't used to operating with Lapis and Peridot and Steven had other things on his mind.

>>92129430
>Struggle to write most of your characters
>I know what the show needs, more characters

>>92136073
Pre-barn Peridot episodes were god tier

>>92136087
The issue with having a big ensemble cast in a show like this is that it's so hard to have them all together and not overcrowd the tiny episodes. Unless it's going to be a special longer episode like Bismuth, people shouldn't expect to have the whole cast all doing something important and having screentime.

Having too big a core cast often fucks with shows badly. That's why I wish they'd have Lapis and Peridot actually busy doing something else relevant. Then it makes sense when they're not there and they can show up at key moments instead of fucking around in meme barn whenever they aren't present.

>>92129430
I could talk all day on the potential of Lapis

But either they forgot/don't care about Lapis anymore, or she has a purpose we have yet to see

Peridot is the real Homeworld gem, so she will have that connection and use for the rest of the show.

Id prefer if Lapis was still their enemy instead of this barn mates bullshit.

The real question is why the fuck haven't they got Peridot building shit?

She's a fucking fully qualified engineer, and the whole planet is littered up and down with old gem scrap that can be repurposed.

>>92138500
Her becoming a sympathetic antagonist was her potential, but that ship sailed a long time ago. They dropped her hatred and everything else that used to make her interesting so that she could be a generic boring wooby.

>>92138628
Peridot's too busy enjoying NEET life.

>>92138688
Lapis really should leave Earth, from a gem perspective the place sucks ass.

>>92138688
She isn't even a wooby anymore, and that's the problem. A wooby is something you're supposed to pity and feel sorry for. But Lapis doesn't have that anymore because Jasper is gone forever. She has nothing that can make people feel for her anymore, which is why every episode that focused on her after Jasper fell flat on its face. Narratively, she has no reason to be miserable anymore, but she still is. She's become a Lars.

>>92138115
But at least they can explain it somewhat with the facts that;

A) Lapis has issues
B) She fucking hates the crystal gems, and only tolerates them because of Steven (and by extension now, Peridot)
C) Still resents her life on earth a little and hasn't gotten over what happened to her, what she did to Jasper, and how she can't go back.

Now what is much fucking harder to explain is why Stevonnie didn't just fucking become fused and 1hit kill the 3 kidnappers.
They had to write in him having a little bitchfit mid-fight so as to stop it happening.

>>92129476

Steven and Connie were only parrying Topaz, they couldnt do jackshit to the unfused Topazes and Fusion Topaz overwhelmed them. Stevonnie would get wrecked.

I worry that too. Peridot is stupidly undervalued.

She built a fully functional drill capable of boring to the core of the earth for them, and now she's been relegated to agricultural work and building fucking barbeques out of plane engines.

>>92138974
That's because they suck alone.

Did the crystal gems actually lose the rebellion?

Of course they lose. Almost every single crystal gem got btfo and the Homeworld is still fine. Rose was fucking stupid

>>92140521
They may have forced Homeworld off of Earth, but they corrupted and/or shattered almost every single remaining Crystal Gem. At least if you're going by attrition, the CGs are the clear losers.

My guess is that she or her and Pearl build a ship to follow Topaz and Aquamarine, and that's how we get the rest of the main cast into space/Homeworld. We're not going to see the rest of the Gems for a while, but there's no way they're doing an entire season without them. Steven and Lars will either find a way back to Earth due to the Famethyst helping them or the rest of the Crystal Gems show up in a ship to rescue them.

>>92138628
Even when we don't see them, they're still doing shit. Peridot built attack drones, a working receiver, and who knows what else. She's not going to blow her gem wad every time Steven visits.

>>92140827
I was wondering how Connie accessed her phone when it's stuck inside Topaz and figured she dropped it. Aqua using it makes a lot more sense, hadn't thought of that.

>>92129430
Literally the reason she was banished to the meme barn

>thinks Lapis would be in anyway useful

you realize that Alexandrite was literally powerless against Aquamarine and that Lapis is much weaker than Alexandrite right?

Lapis probably couldnt even beat Amethyst anymore

>>92129430
It's called the writers forgot about them.

>>92140789
I mean Lapis and Jasper fused lost to the Crystal Gems

honestly if Steven hadn't gone in diplomatically Alexandrite probably would have killed Lapis the first time they fought

Lapis fags just like to think she is OP when she clearly isn't

>>92133548
but they didn't fuse?

The most interesting development from these episodes was the notion that homeworld has been aware of the CGs for a while and don't actually give a damn about 3 miserable remnants.

>>92130096
pearl's getting a phone for sexting mg soon

>>92130730
>I much rather watch Lapis and Peridot do shit.
I seriously hope that's sarcasm

>>92151542
yeah, they had a ruby report back to them

>>92129430
Lapis and Peridot are fucking cancer.
I honestly wish they'd just get written off the show, obviously Sugar just wanted the main 3 to be the main characters of the show.

>>92151542
Clearly they need an arc where Lapis and Peridot are in danger because Homeworld finds out about them.

>>92151079
god. this.

not to dis Smokey Quartz in any way, but how could she as a new fusion defeat Jasper so much easier than Garnet who is experienced?

>>92152306
maybe because she's made from two quartz warriors and not a grunt and a military advisor

>>92152368
makes sense

Who the stronger aquakinesis user, Lapis or Aquamarine? Will we get to see them water-fight it out?

>>92152306
because Garnet is made from too really weak gems

while Amethyst is basically the same as Jasper, given Jasper was made better by design they are similar in power and ability

and Steven is a Rose Quartz, and while their status and power isn't entirely clear they appear to be more powerful than regular quartz soldiers

>>92152510
No it doesn't when you consider how inexperienced Steven is even fucking Stevonnie beat Jasper easier

>>92152606
So then how did Stevonnie beat Jasper so much easier?

>>92153931
>>92154020

Connie is really into the sword fighting, and practice was regular. they probably had opportune time to fight. Steven is only good at defense where Connie got the sword

>>92140521
They won in the sense that they drove homeworld forces off the planet.

But then they got nuked from orbit, so....

>>92154338
>>92154020
that might be it, I mean like Stevonnie didn't actually poof Jasper she retreated and she wasn't so desperate she resorted to fusion

but having a sword that is designed to one shot gem forms seems like a powerful advantage

>>92133548
God damn I've never been so soft in my life.

>>92131317
Unless they decide to go against the rule of only using Steven's POV, then yeah, they're stuck in Space, which is probably for the better

>>92154338
That still doesn't make much sense considering Connie is just a human

>>92155991
what you think having a weapon designed to kill gems against an unarmed foe isn't a massive advantage

>>92156072
It has nothing to do with Stevonnie actually being able to doge and overall fight better than Garnet

>>92156318
yeah obviously

of course Stevonnie is weaker than Garnet

>>92140521
well fuck yeah they did, the CGs got nuked from orbit and only Rose, Pearl, and Garnet survived (Amethyst was still in the ground and Bismuth was luckily bubbled somewhere), the Cluster was inserted into the crust at some point without the CGs knowledge, and Homeworld's still kicking ass to this day. Of course they fucking lost.

>>92129906
lapis' "prime" was two episodes she herself was barely in

>>92152583
Lapis maybe
Aquamarine probably doesn't even have powers just like what Peridot said about herself, Homeworld is running out of resources so instead of making stronk gems with integrated weapons and ebin powers they just give them widgets and shit
Aquamarine's might be the hair ribbon-wand thing just like Peridot's were the limb enhancers, I mean if Aq had hydrokinesis she could've bubbled the humans to bring them back into the ship but didn't, or maybe she just didn't out of plot convenience just like Lapis and Peridot not being there at fucking all

>>92131866
Fucking STEVEN could hit her while she was talking on ship,

>>92129430
are we going to have this conversation every fucking day

>>92152583
From what we've seen of Aquamarine, it feels like she has better technical skills, but mostly relies on her wand. Berserker Lapis would eventually win after a few minutes of losing dramatically.

Has any show ever dropped the ball as hard as Steven Universe?

For the first two seasons it was my favorite cartoon on television, now I can't get through a single episode without cringing or nodding off

>>92160433
The OP wasn't put in a spoiler, retard

>>92137755
>AT
>great
Both shows are mediocre at best and both of them pander to tumblrites and what ever you can think of. What annoys me more is that they shoehorn plot and lore into background and get back to it once in a while, as if it wasn't relevant at all, when it should be the other way around.

Not to mention AT's constant usage of autotune, 2nerdy jokes, giving everyone an "important" background and that fucking expanding dog. Literally all of the problems in it could be solved by that dog expanding.

It astonishes me that terrible show got successful.

>So uh, where the hell were lapis and peridot?

Doing this, probably.

>Lars: Oh gosh Steven were trapped on this space ship going who knows where what are we gonna do
>Steven: Jeez, this is even worse than that time I got stuck inside a bathroom at the mall.
>queue 5 episodes of flashback townie filler

>>92131317
Based on leaks Aqua is a legit evil person.

>>92161116
hot as fuck

>Peridot manages to remove the wand for a moment before getting body fisted by Topaz.

>>92137755

Theories about AT are all shit now.

>>92131317
My money is on that they'll make all this seem real important, then wrap it up in 2 episodes and go right back to the townie shit and not mention Homeworld until the last two episodes of the season.

>>92133548
You degenerate. Tell me more.

>>92133548
This is the gayest thing I've read today. I think I like men now. Gonna go suck some cocks, just because of how much heterosexuality has failed me.

gems don't wear underwear

>>92129430
Tell me anon, how would they get in contact with Garnet Amethyst and Pearl and get their in time to help? Humans were being taken by homeworld gems, they needed to work quickly cuase there was no idea how long they had till it would be too late.

>>92129430
they were trying out fusion
if you know what I mean *wink*wink*

>>92166913
Both of them have cell phones.

>>92166913
It was established right in the episode that the homeworld gems weren't leaving until they find My Dad. Steven had all the time he needed

>>92151913
No I think it was when Peridot tried to crush Steven(wow that feels weird to type out now.) The others got involved and Pearl literally said "We are the Crystal Gems!"

>>92143031

pyrrhic victory, anon.

>>92167201
Everything escalated kind of quickly, but they probably should have at least tried to contact them.

On the other hand, that wand is capable of freezing a four-gem fusion. The fuck's Peridot/Lapis even gonna do against that?
Wonder if it could freeze a diamond?
