Peridot is replacing Steven with all these "inexperienced crystal gem" episodes. This one had a lot of parallels to "Monster Buddies".

@Smokey, to elaborate further, Jasper strikes me as the the type of character that get a lot of "projection". Either for one reason or another people identify with something about her (which, still seems weird to me, at least until she started appearing more) or just like the character, and so they start going "she's not that bad" or "she was justified" or something because apparently liking a villain without wanting or thinking they'll turn good is wrong.

Since people are bringing up birthstones, here's a chart I made a while ago.

I was born in October, and Opal is my favorite fusion design.

Oh, cool! Happy belated birthday!

And you as well!

Reading the last few pages, I didn't realize that Eyeball's weapon was a chisel. But I thought it looked kind of odd for a knife.

I think they were asking if the quote in your post was real, actually.

Oh, that chart's pretty cool. Are you going to update it if more of those Gems appear on the show?

@LSBK: I'm sure I've been guilty of that from time to time, but the main reason why I do want Jasper to get redeemed is the fact that I'm really hoping this series shows that nobody is beyond the point of no return, not even Jasper. Everyone has a bit of good in them, and Steven just needs to pull that to the surface.

[up]I actually have nothing against Jasper, but I'd really hate for the show to do that, so I'm hoping that whatever happens, she never "sees the light".

Or rather, I'd like for them to admit that you can't save everyone, but I still want Steven to try, because that's just the kind of person he is.

Another Ruby.

I'd be fine with Jasper getting a redemption arc eventually, even if isn't soon. At the very least, I want her to be healed, along with the other monsters.

The Diamonds, however, shouldn't have a redemption arc. They can be complex and fascinating characters, but still be awful people and villains. I can't see Steven killing them, but I can see them being bubbled. But as others noted, they need to destroy the Cult of Personality around the Diamonds, as well.

I'm with Smokey. I really hope Jasper is redeemed. It would fit nicely with Steven's arcs of "not being his mother" and "being better than her" in that he can succeed where she couldn't.

It would be horribly sad if: Jasper got redeemed but Eyeball just became even more of an Ax-Crazy foe to the end.tongue

Not the way you should be addressing this Diamond.

(And I used to think having diamond as my birthstone sucked because it was too expensive to get as a gift.)

[up][up][up][up]It would work with Jasper because Steven would be able to save even those who view him as enemies- unlike Rose who was only able to seperate herself from her enemies.
