In this specific moment...Crystal Gems are the strongest side. She'd join them to not get poofed probably.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Her newfound obsession with using fusion to become strong would probably make Homeworld disgusted and disdainful of her, given her own initial reaction to Garnet.
I like the idea of Jasper as a villain who is both pitiable and very dangerous. She's lost everything, losing her mind, not welcome among her people - who will probably never look at her as the proud warrior she was, and doesn't care because all she wants now is to feel the strength she felt while stuck as Malachite, too obsessed and delusional to realize she'll never be able to accomplish what she wants the way she wants to do it, nor that what she wants isn't the aim of what she's trying to do in the first place. So she can only either have a revelation and change her mentality completely or fall further.
Her speech to Lapis reminded me of a person taking a dangerous drug, but who can never become high enough to be satisfied, and is now desperate to try and get that fix.

Le Garcon shared a comic with me recently that I think will be similar to Jasper's future characterization, post redemption. It was mostly about her feeling like she isn't a good enough warrior, and isn't good enough to do anything right.
Considering how much she feels that she needs to be Malachite to be strong, I think it'll be accurate.
I much like this better than her being redeemed. Seems like a pretty fitting type of villain for this show.
They said she would be complex, not that she would join the main cast. And unlike Peridot, nobody seems to like her.

To be fair, the reason Jasper isn't well liked is simply because unlike every other antagonist (every other character, really) except YD she has little to no appearances yet that flesh her out beyond that first antagonistic role she's had. She has barely any appearances at all, even though unlike YD she's been around for a while.
This is the first, and is essentially her Marble Madness - the episode where she's still introduced like the same terrifying brute we saw at first, but we start to see more aspects of her personality that can become sympathetic (or even likeable, in time) in the future.
I could see them fleshing her out with a redemption becoming a part of the Gems and being successful - the Crewniverse are very good at that - but I think it's more likely that they'll end up fleshing her out as an Anti-Villain with goals that don't exactly line up with the Big Bad's any more.

I just want to add that I was glad Jasper reintroduced herself fist-first, but disappointed that it was coming out of water instead of the ground or a wall.

Understanding one's role is the first step towards the mental decline. Denial is the second step and she went through both in the same episode.
Seeing her act noticeably less agressive was pretty weird, it's gonna be even weirder if she actually does get redemption...hopefully not though.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Well, she was trying to be persuasive, and ultimately fails.
I was thinking less on a abussive relationship and more about drug abuse.
Clearly, Lapis and Jasper's fusing is unhealthy.
But yeah everybody loves Garnet despite the fact that Ruby and Sapphire thenselves has shown codependency.
I love most of the characters including the afforement gems, but to be fair fusion for me doesn't seems vey healthy in my opinion.
x4 She only really cares about Lapis because she basically sees her as another source of power.

GUNDAMU GUNDAMUWell, maybe not, or who knows.
It's just that in barn mates they were focused in being the lovebirds they are and not in, well, you know, winning the game that was supossed (even thought it wasn't, luckily for Peridot) very important to save the life of Peridot.
Besides, I'm pretty individualistic and even my gemsona doesn't care about fusion at all (not hate, not like, he really doesn't mind fusion at all), so perhaps my pointview have to do with that opinion of mine.
I pretty much expected everything that happened in this episode. Aside from Lapis literally sinking the ship at the end.

Steven: "Okay, guys. For this plan to work, you need to act like you've never met. If the Rubies find out Peridot is here, she could die."
-Ruby and Sapphire begin immediately making out-

My various fanfics.

I think people are looking at it the wrong way. Jasper wouldn't join the gems acting like she has so far. Peridot didn't join the gems acting like she did at first. Peridot grew, and learned to look around and love the Earth and everything on it. When Jasper joins the gems, it'll be after she realizes homeworld, and her previous behavior, was awful.
