Every single time someone tries to make Jasper and Peridot sympathetic I wanna bash my head in.
like theres this thing where if someone likes a character, they suddenly cant be evil? like??
there’s a way to add depth to a character without completely rewriting that character and ignoring whats there and this isnt it
but sympathetic≠not evil. Like Jasper is definitely evil, she’s a bad guy, but when we saw her chained desperately calling out to Steven I felt a ton of sympathy for her.
sidenote: I don’t think we know enough about the circumstances of homeworld gems to say if they’re redeemable or not
…You and I are clearly watching two different shows because Jasper was PISSED and wanted to kill Steven.
The furrowed brows and the way she was angrily repeating “You.. YOU!!” don’t read as sympathetic.
They read as murderous. She wasn’t trying to get Steven to help her she wanted the person who ruined all her plans dead.
^^^ This isn’t a cry for help. This is a “I’m going to destroy you”.
I love both Jasper and Peridot AS VILLAINS. and tbh idc if people wanna head canon/draw all the redemption arc or other fun stuff. That’s what Fandom’s about. It’s when people blindly love these trash lords without recognizing the fact that they are trash lords.
A Evil/Bad character does not become sweet and misunderstood because you like them
Not to mention peridot was creating abominations of nature by forcing the corpses of fallen gems to fuse, putting them in great pain. I really don’t think that frankensteining without remorse is redeemable.
So there was this random little thing I noticed about when Steven and Connie fuse
Here Connie has a belt on her dress
And after she unfuses it’s gone. I thought it was just an animation error but then during We Need to Talk
Before fusing
After unfusing
What happens to her belt? Where does it go? Does Stevonnie take it? Are Sneeple involved? Why is this bothering me so much?
Since it looks to be tied, it might be one of those attached ribbon-belts that come already sewn onto the dress? Perhaps it just comes undone with all the action of the fusion? I didn’t really do any investigating, it’s just a thought!
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
