[up][up]The main 3 Gems themselves haven't been 'lead characters' all that often either, at least in terms of being the chief focus of an episode. Sure, they've gotten a lot more of them than Peridot, but they've also been main cast members a lot longer than Peridot, so saying that this makes Peridot just a supporting character due to not getting as many focus episodes by default is kind of unfair. She's definitely more of a main character than Connie, because I can't think of a single episode where, outside of Stevonnie, Connie was really the lead, at least more so than Steven was. At least Greg had a few flashback episodes to his name. But yeah, at this point, I'd consider Peridot enough of a main character to at least show up in the OP, if nothing else. (She doesn't even have to sing yet; she just has to show up. Same with Lapis.)

I season three, Peridot and Lapis each had a major role in four episodes, Amethyst had five, while Pearl and Garnet only had one each—and Garnet only even has one if you count Ruby and Sapphire in "Hit the Diamond".

It's obviously not a power innate to Peridot's or she would have known about it. And it could be a very useful power so I don't see the Diamonds hiding it or something like that, like some people seem to think.
I don't think the Diamonds were hiding it, they just didn't expect or intend for her to have such power. Bismuth mentioned they're always underestimating gems' potential, which seems to happen especially often when a gem isn't what they wanted them to be—Jasper speech makes it sound like ones born with defects are immediately labelled as wholly inferior without actually testing their abilities.

If other Era-2 Peridots have the same power, I don't know, but they probably have the potential for some power or another.

It's worth noting that peridot is mildly magnetic.

When a somewhat redundant character in a Show Within a Show turns out to be possibly the hugest badass in human history, it makes an impression on people.

We've basically seen that so there's no point. It would just be an episode rehashing what we already saw. Which this kind of was, but in an all right way.

It was a nice way to recap the audience on old locations people might have forgotten, or newer people might not have seen, without resorting to a crummy clip show episode.

Unless it was offscreen, and just something mentioned during an entirely different plot.

I'd love it if we see a flashback to an epic event the Gems were involved with ages ago, and Buddy just happens to be there. He doesn't do anything but draw everything in sight until the Gems shoo him away.

So, there's a Jasper focused zine coming out late this year.

Just posting it here in case anyone decides to submit work for it, or wants to buy it once it comes out.

I submitted examples of my previous Jasper related writing, but I doubt it's good enough for them to decide to let me put something in the zine.

How long do zines like this want for written work? I've had some ideas, and I'd love to submit to this!
