I FOUND IT!

That Lapidot comic I mentioned before is called Antifreeze

The link is to the last few pages, but the post has links to all of the rest of the comic. It's pretty good.

Thank you Bocaj, I have always wanted to see a side-by-side comparison.

Do gems even need eyes to see?
If their eyes didn't allow sight, they'd be nothing but a vulnerability.

I already knew I liked Liu and Johnston's Pearl drawings the most.

Whats funny (to me) is that Lapidot predates any other Peridot ships.
True, but what's not funny is how serious some people take shipping.

Some Lapidot haters are even accusing the Crewniverse of caving into the Lapidot fandom and forcing Lapis and Peridot to be a couple. They believe Lapis would never be friends or anything with Peridot because was evil and Lapis deserves better than to be in a relationship with an abuser. They must not realize that the show is planned, written, and animated well into advance before we see the episodes. It's not like Rebecca Sugar saw some fan art last week and decided the show show should change for a pairing fandom. Heck, Hilary Florido has been hinting some kind of Peridot and Lapis relationship since last year in her high school AU promo art.

Cannon shouldn't change who you want to ship. It's never bothered Zutara shippers, Sasuke x Naruto shippers, Harry x Luna shippers, etc.

"We learned absolutely nothing about any crimes or dark secrets the Crystal Gems have. If anything, they disproved the theory that the Crystal Gems trapped Lapis, which puts them in a better light."·

Yeah, at this point I will said they are 100% good if flaw beings, nothing grey about them.

"True, but what's not funny is how serious some people take shipping. "

shipping, the bane of fandoms.

Also it seen the three homeworld gem we have seen are somewhat counterpart of the CG: Peridot-Pearl,Garnet-Jasper,Amathys-Lapis, dosent it?

Has Bocaj ever linked to fanart of Pearl shown from the front? I'd love to see that. Preferably without any "nose slightly to the side" cheat. It would be especially pleasing if I end up being horrified.

You want fanart of that? Or just to see it in general?

Monster Buddies does give a shot of Pearl in full front view.

And it is hilarious/horiffying.

Though even that was actually a low view. Speaking seriously, Pearl from the front without a cheat would just look plain boring. Try imaging what a cone look like when pointed directly at you and compress it into 2D.

I don't really see how Lapis is similar to Amethyst. Amethyst is a huge extrovert who's the life of the party. Lapis just wants to be left alone.

Fart Jokes. That's what she's going going for her. That is the glue that people use to tie her to Amethyst.

That and she's the only one left.Persnickty brainy forehead gems in Pearl and Peridot. Big, strong, very good at combat, Garnet and Jasper.

That leaves Lapis with no one else but Amythest.

It can be interpreted multiple ways.

Jasper and Garnet are both The Big Guy, and also arguably the best fighter in their group, and have very conflicting views on fusion.

But Jasper is also comparable to Amethyst. Both loyal, both quartzes, have similar powers (such as the spindash, which Steven and Rose have never been shown to posess), but Jasper is a "proper quartz", while Amethyst doesn't fit the standard appearance.

You can also compare Peridot to both Pearl and Amethyst, or Lapis to Pearl and Amethyst. Just depends on which qualities you examine.

Lapis is blue. Amethyst is purple, which contains blue. It's the perfect comparison!
