its complicated
One of the worst parts about what happened to Spinel is that she realized what Pink had done to her at the exact same moment she found out Pink is gone. So she's having to process the betrayal from the person she loved most while grieving the loss of that person and trying to understand how she can possibly grieve/still love someone who hurt her so badly.

Spinel is such a good example of ‘you are not responsible for others mistreating you, but you are responsible for your own actions.’ Pink still left her, Pink still made her stand for no reason. But attacking the Earth, resetting the core CGs AND poisoning things, that is not justifiable. Spinel took it out on people not involved in her trauma, she KNEW they weren’t involved. This is such valuable storytelling to me.

did y’all just forget that lapis was heavily based on and came from rebecca sugar’s margo in bed, which was a comic she made about the literal abusive relationship she went through? and yet y’all wanna make jasper the victim huh
lapis can be a legit self-insert of rebecca’s experiences of an abuse survivor and y’all still wanna make her out to the abuser. telling.
neoxe
full offense but it is fucking ridiculous the lengths this fandom will go tryna make lapis out to be the abusive one instead of jasper. we’ve had:
-actual abuse survivors come forward saying they relate to lapis and that they heard these same words form their abusers
-multiple depictions strengthening jasper as being the abusive one, showing her dragging lapis around, yanking her to her so she can’t get away, threatening to shatter steven, blaming steven for lapis recognizing their toxic relationship and saying no, saying she’s changed, that she’s “different”, gaslighting lapis and maker her out to be the abuser, and literally coercing her to fuse with her when lapis was in no position to refuse her
-lapis being heavily based on (enough for margo to be considered the “proto-lapis”) rebecca’s comic margo in bed, which was about her experiences in an abusive relationship
but we still have people reaching so hard their arms break to convince others lapis is the abusive and violent one….almost like…someone we know….👀
Furthermore, the things Lapis did that people claim to be “abusive” were her literally self-sacraficing to keep Jasper from emerging, gaining power over her, hurting Steven and the others, etc.
Also there are so many people talking about how “boring” Lapis is, and her “lack of personality”, as if those aren’t typical traits/behaviors/outcomes that..literally come from abuse…for a good number of survivors
