I don't have a Twitter, though. And my parents sure as shit won't let me get one. My dad compared Twitter to "running out into the street naked and shouting".

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Lol. You could say that about any social media really.

I've heard someone compare twitter to signing up to be badgered with ads. Lately that's kind of accurate tbh.

It doesn't matter anyways, I wouldn't even like using Twitter. I can't stand limiting the amount of characters I have to use. When I type, I type for as long as I damn well feel like.

Yeah as valuable as Twitter is for how many celebrities are on there, the format itself brings so little to the table.

I don't have anything to say against that.

Originally the appeal was you could stay up to date on stuff you like, without the dumb algorithm stuff facebook has, but alas that's starting to creep in bit by bit. It's more about following than actually tweeting. Unless you have something to promote.

The way I see it, they'll probably handle Jasper's arc with either "tough character respects good guys' ability to fight enough to join them" or "tough character learns about real strength through kindness/forgiveness".

When me and my friend watched the two-parter, (him for the first time) he brought up a theory I hadn't considered.

After the split, we don't see Jasper's face/nose Gem, or at least I've hearde multiple sources say that as well as his own addition, so I'll take that as legit.

Anyway, the idea is since we don't see her Gem, and she didn't poof, and she's somewhere inside the Earth, there are a cluster of broken Gems that are learning to communicate and accept themselves as fragments, and Jasper's own new-found enjoyment of fusion with the power it brings, her Gem could be cracked and if she found the Cluster, she could either manipulate or just join them as they might take her in as another shard.

I described the entire theory about how all the powers of the Gems fit into modern physics in only 140 characters.

Jasper is more likely to be in the ocean than with the cluster. Steven and Peri had to dig to the Earth's core or thereabouts, plus Jasper was on a beach when the island fell apart. Alone At Sea is likely to be her next appearance.

That theory makes no sense to me, because Jasper didn't fall on her face. Alexandrite, caught them both face-up, and put them down. And she's lying face-up when the ground cracks, before she falls into the crevice.

The only time she could crack her gem is after she fell into the crevice, and if that's when it happened, there's no point in obscuring her gem for that reason.

What would be the point of obscuring her face/gem, then? To save on animation? For all we know, Jasper's gem cracked a little when Malachite got smacked in the face with Sugilite's flail, and the violent poof made it worse.

The point is, that's the way the scenes with her were drawn. Her hair obscured her face.

We don't know squat. Alexandrite's Flail didn't crack the gem on Malachite's face...it didn't do nuts at all actually.

Amethyst cracked her gem falling onto a rock from a height that wasn't enough to poof her. I'm pretty sure the flail could hit with at least that much force. And it hit Malachite in the face, where Jasper's gem is located. It's entirely reasonable to think that Jasper's gem could have gotten cracked when she took that hit. And the fact that the animation went our of its way to avoid showing Jasper's face suggests that there's probably something wrong with Jasper's face.

I'm not going to act like they couldnt be throwing a Red Herring at us, but I'm not going to act like it's impossible for her gem to be cracked when, dramatically speaking, it is.

I'm not acting like it's impossible...the flail didn't crack Malachite's nose Gem, that's just what happened.

It should've...but nope.

But we won't necessarily see that many iconic villains on Steven Universe, says Sugar — the Gems aren't dealing with a particular person, but something "bigger than that." There's not "really a singular enemy." Instead, the conflict will be within the group, and it'll be about Steven figuring out what's right.

That isn't what

But we won't necessarily see that many iconic villains on Steven Universe, says Sugar — the Gems aren't dealing with a particular person, but something "bigger than that."

means at all.

"won't necessarily" = "might"

"that many" = "we'll still see some"

"iconic villians" = "other types of villians will still be there"

"not really a singular enemy""= "there's more than one" (each of which could be ten thousand times more evil than Hitler)

As for Lapis and Jasper, Lapis was acting in self-defense. Killing someone in self-defese isn't even a crime. Acting in self-defense makes you utterly blameless.

Jasper was an invading force and is thus a war criminal.

EDI: (Also, youi and I have different concepts of "evil". You seem to be using it to mean "irredeemable". I don't believe "anyone is irredeemable, but I believe everyone'' is evil)

If Jasper is so evil why is she literally the only hostile gem that never tried to kill anyone? How is she somehow more evil than Peridot?

And I don't think you understand what a war crime is. Like at all.

You act like that wasn't what she was trying to do as Malachite or when she ordered Peridot to blast the CGs with the Hand ship.

Don't ignore details like dis, they're really important for this kind of discussion.

I said Jasper, not Malachite.

And even then, if she was so intent on killing them why didn't she shatter Ruby and Sapphire when she had the chance? Or Amethyst and Pearl for that matter? She could have done it since she had captured them too.

It doesn't matter, when we finally see Malachite again it's very obvious that Jasper has taken control of the fusion...therefore it's apart of Jasper's actions.

Nobody said she was intent on killing them...before she was defeated.
