@Elisa Castro have you even seen the show? They experience the consequences of their actions heavily, their friends just also understand that proceeding to berate, belittle, and insult them, or even treat them like shit back isnt how you handle the situation. Lapis' consequence of leaving Earth is loneliness, sorrow, pain, sadness, it's not a consequence you immediately see because it's not one you think of. That's just an example.
It hurts me seeing how much Peridot tries to restrain herself for Lapis' sake. Especially during Reunited: Peridot really wanted to hug Lapis she was so happy to see her again, but you see her holding her hands to her chest to stop herself from doing it.
Physical touch can be very overstimulating within the context of PTSD so Peridot's consideration speaks volumes. Sometimes close proximity (what P ultimately wanted more) will suffice for a bit. Both friends' needs matter in their reunification. 💜

I've always loved her. I enjoyed watching her development as the show went on and this video does nothing but reenforces it. You know what; I would love to see her spend some time with Spinel. Not to play but to bond and hug it out, because they were both wrongly imprisoned for thousands of years.
Same. After seeing this, I Can Agree and I Should've made this Connection Between the Two Sooner. Maybe Spinel could Introduce her to Pink Pearl someday. Wouldn't that be Awesome. ^^
Can we also add Pearl? Pearl had to keep a secret for hundreds of centuries, loose a love one, and be discriminated a couple of times for being a pearl Lapis, Pearl, and Spinel are I think the ones that dealt with a lot of trauma for a long period of time
Lapis is my favorite character. The story of someone so deeply damaged who transforms into someone who can learn to live freely is amazing. Everything she does is perfectly reminiscent of real people. Her struggle to take control after it was snatched away is classic psycology. It's not healthy and that's why she grows up and avoid that. I've never understood how anybody can hate her.
I'm still disappointed that her reunion with peridot wasn't a bit more..... meaningful. Just a hey. But.... maybe it was meant to be that way and I'm missing some meaning behind it, who knows.
Well Lapis is an example of someone who has been trapped in an abusive relationship. She's likely distancing herself from others before they can hurt or disappoint her. So when she shows up, she's nonchalant and kinda stoic because that gives her the control of how far their relationship goes. They cant cling to hard or push her away if she controls it. People who come out of abusive situations like that typically learn to stifle their emotions to better be the robot they feel they have to be to cope with the world. I want her and Peridot to fuse but I dont think it'll happen for a long while just because her only experience with it is wholly negative. She'll have to take a long time to realize that it's okay to relax and be herself again and that the people around her wont use or abuse her kindness.
@@Kokiri-Kid-07 she was never abusive toward steven while in a clear state of mind. once her gem was fixed and she knew he wasn't a threat in any way, she trusted him a bit easier. with peridot, she could have very well seen her as a threat. remember, peridot was a big reason she was imprisoned in jailbreak. she probably still associates her with that subconsciously. i have severe ptsd and i find myself drawn to lapis because i very much did do the same things she did. i was in the same situation she was in with jasper, and later the situation she was in with the crystal gems. i left my jasper, found my steven, and so on. but i still had a peridot, somebody who loved me who i loved but was unable to show it. i did very much care for this person, but i still abused them in ways that they never deserved, and my ptsd doesn't excuse that. the things i said and did were wrong. i distance myself from that person now, because as much as i do care for them, i know that i wronged them and need to give them space. i viewed lapis's distant greeting of peridot and immediate acceptance of steven's open affection as this: she would have accepted peridot's affection if it was offered, but because it wasn't, she felt that it wasn't welcome. she wasn't going to initiate a heartfelt greeting because she was unsure if peridot would even care for that.
@@realrealwarpet I hope Rebecca Sugar gives us an episode where they explain when they hashed that out. Because I personally would remember the person who poofed me before I got trapped in an mirror for years.
She was poofed by bismuth, but wasn’t she also taken by homeworld gems who thought she was a crystal gem and used her for inside info on the crystal gems?
I would like to compliment NerdWire on an outstanding approach to the addressing PTSD and anxiety in this video. Many fans of the Steven Universe series have compared Lapis Lazuli ‘s behavior similar to those with the two mental health conditions mentioned. There is lots of stigma surrounding mental health but NerdWire took the time to explain it to the watcher and showed how it could be a factor into the character design without discrediting the idea by fixating on it. It’s kind of nice to see people do their research on the topic, even if it is a fraction of a video. Especially to those who deal with it regularly.
Lapis is my favorite character, I can really relate to her cuz I've been emotionally mentally and physically absurd. I have a lot of depression and truama from people taking advantage of me, really bad a relationships and my family abusing me. I seriously know where she is coming from and its nice to know that there is a character on a popular tv that represents and makes these kinds of things aware.
Oh come on guys. Lapis isn’t all that relatable. She LITERALLY has no character and does nothing throughout the show and is an empty shell 🐚 of what her character should’ve been. All thanks to that witch 🧙♀️ Rebecca Sugar, my Gem💎💙Titans character Capis💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💧☂️🌊☔️⛈💦Audia💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊💧💦☔️☂️⛈’s faithful message and loving 🥰 spirit, and her big strong yet calming presence was completely destroyed. If I were showrunner, I would have Lapis be the leader of the Gems💎, and leave Garnet out of it completely. I would make Lapis, or I’m sorry CAPIS, the strong, loving🥰, romantic and maternal, humble, intelligent, wonderful, leader who was once created by Princess 👑 👑 Luna 🌙 , but after discovering Earth 🌍 and our ancestors, the early humans, she vowed with all her faithful might to protect them. And that right there, was what made her, come to be....Captimus💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊☔️💧☂️⛈💦Audia💙💙💙💙💙💧🌊⛈☂️☔️💦Prime 🏅, the first and only of the Prime🥇Gems💎. She protected our ancestors from danger during the war with Equestria as best she could, and asked absolutely NOTHING in return. She led the Gem 💎 Titans in Eris Quartz’s stead. The early humans showed her a prophecy speaking of a great darkness, in the form of a storm ⛈ that brought a giant red and black dragon 🐉 with dark eyes, orange 🍊wings, and clawed hooves into the world 🌍 . It was the prophecy of Empress Sidia, or Remmy Maheswaran. Capis searched everywhere through every storm ⛈ for signs 🪧 of it coming true, but Centuries later, Capis realized the dragon 🐉 was in fact a symbol, depicting Remmy. Remmy has dark terrifying powers that cause all kinds of natural disasters and tragedies across creation, like breakups, divorces, paranormal activity, severe weather, tornadoes 🌪 and hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, blizzards🥶, floods🌊💧💦☂️☔️, and she can also shoot more than 900,000,000 BILLION volts of red and black lightning ⚡️ from her fingers. Connie Maheswaran/Empress Sidia was the very darkness that the early humans gave Capis💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙⛈🌊💧💦☔️☂️the destiny to destroy.
Ok so Can you have a knock off “better Lapis” and call Rebecca a Witch? Sure, we all have first OC’s and mine was bad but REPLACING GARNET IS NOT OKEY-DOKEY DUDE!!! Also, don’t disrespect Rebecca. They made a show you liked touch to watch a video about a character from it. She is a master.
Rose quartz in real life is supposed to be good for emotional healing, loving yourself, and recovering from trauma... and Rose Quartz in the show CAUSED emotional trauma XD
She also didn't love herself as herself. Not as Pink Diamond, nor Rose Quartz. I mean I guess through Steven.. But I'd argue that's still a no. That's still wouldn't be as herself. Plus she gave Steven her gem. And its been confirmed that Steven is his own person, not another one of Pink's alter egos.
Rose had low sense of self worth and so does Steven who shares his mother’s gem. The end credits song is about both of them struggling with their self worth.
Wait, so, if Steven could heal the earth and regrow it’s plants in a certain area with a kiss or spit, if he fused with lapis, could they use lapis’ hydrokinesis to do the same thing but on a wider scale or would it not work bc it’s just water If it doesn’t work, then Steven is gonna have to spend another time skip just kissing the planet
Tbh i really like Lapis, the first time they introduced her i immediately suspected she’s goin to go through alot of growth. Aside from her tremendous power & excellent control due to her emotional growth throughout the series. Even tho her growth took a long while, it’s reasonable. Considering she got stuck inside a mirror for a 1000years, made the decision to imprison herself & jasper underneath the sea for idk how long. Most of the time choosing the road of being alone, because at some point of our lives, we have to go through it alone. After all that i’d understand she had a hard time trusting anyone other than Steven whom she owes to for setting herself free from the mirror. Spinel’s story although tragic as well, all the Diamonds were willing to grow along side with her. Their party needed to move on & grow from Pink. Lapis literally had...no one
2:48 some people say this is undermining the thousands and thousands of years of mourning blue has went through, but I see it differently. Blue sees her suffering as something nobody could ever feel and that she has been through the worst of the worst, but lapis basically tells her she isn’t, that other people have felt her pain
Abby Werner No it’s not that deep. It’s one of Blue’s powers to make people cry... idk who started the idea that it had anything to do with Blue’s personal pain.
lapis is my comfort character, im only 15 but ive experience a range of trauma and so seeing a character go through trauma and the way they grow and cope with it really helps me, she makes me so happy and i'm so grateful for this show
I’ve noticed that none of the crystal gems care too much for or try to get close to Lapis lazuli. Ruby particularly doesn’t care for her as we saw in jail break. It’s in stark contrast to the way they bond with Peridot. Garnet says that Steven is worried “for his friend” not their friend when she returns to the barn.
Funny thing is, Lapis is what made me watch SU in the first place. I saw a little bit of her first episode on a TV in a Macca's and her character design and powers made me want to keep watching.
I still want to see Lapis Lazuli and Peridot fuse together and here's why: for Peridot it would be the best answer for understanding Garnet and fusion as a whole, the good and the bad while giving her more of an insight for how Lapis feels. For Lapis, fusion would be as big a step as Pearl when she shapeshifter in 'Snow Day': it would show she was able to overcome a large traumatic event and show her acceptance and deeper trust for Peridot. With how she feels now it's the 'once bitten twice shy' kinda thing. Fusion would be a major step for both of them and I feel like Steven would end up being the reason, especially since it was because he made the effort and took the steps to help them without pressure or push. Damn this comment is long.....sorry y'all
I love Lapis so much because she's been through so much and her mental health feels so realistic, because I hate when a character goes through something major, but then the optimistic main character gives a speech about "Yeah, you might think everything is bad, but actually, everything is great, you just have to get over it~" and then they're suddenly fixed. That's not how the real world works, and honestly it kind of undermines everything people with those problems have to go through everyday for years at a time. With Lapis, her problems and issues never just go away one day, they get better over time, but she still has relapses, and all that jazz.
LOVED THIS BUT Everyone forgets she was a prisoner to peridot and jasper. Peridot even says to her at one point that he knowledge of earth was so valuable, hence why she was their captive. Her actions to Jasper and Peridot are rooted in that trauma too
I have zero idea why, but I never thought I would relate to a cartoon character so much. Lapis has always been my favorite, from attitude to character design. Lapis is best girl
Raw gemstones really aren't that expensive...depends on the gemstone. Amethyst, I think, is one of the more common ones. It's the polished and cut stones that tend to be more pricey
I wish Lapidot happened in the show. It’s the shipping that most likely could’ve happened. At the end of Barn Mates, we see a implication where Peridot gives a big smile to Lapis and in response Lapis blushes and turns away from Peridot. That was the moment where it made us think about them being a couple in the near future but unfortunately it didn’t happened. The reason why I wish they were in a couple is because it would’ve helped Lapis overcome her fears of being fused with Jasper and trapped being a prisoner as she says, giving her better character development. It would’ve helped more if Peridot was there when Steven toke Lapis to sea on the boat so that she could also make her feel comfortable, happy, and defend Lapis from Jasper which would’ve help strengthen their bond even further. I haven’t watched Future but I know there was a episode about Lapis and the other two L’s and Peridot was in it but from what I heard it wasn’t it anything TOO significant for the Lapidot shipping. Although it the shipping never happened in part 1 and 2 of the series ( Steven Universe and Future ) it’s still a big possibility for it to happen since gems can live for a very long time if not forever. Maybe in a couple of years later or in a millennia Peridot will finally begin to make her move on Lapis. If Sugar ever decide to make the shipping canon it’ll really make my life bright for a while. And if we ever see them fuse officially then I really wouldn’t know what to say other than, “YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS IT FINALLY HAPPENED YEESSEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WHHHEEEEWWWWWWW” Also Sugar can decide if she wants to make a little dlc mission in Unleash the Light where it’s about Lapidot. Just want us fans to be a little optimistic in case it happens but don’t have your expectations to high
i always wondered why i understood lapis and all my friends hated her. i have ptsd and her thoughts feelings and catalists make complete sense to me. thank you. really.
@@JinxsyYT Sorry to revive an old comment. But. I understand Lapis's pain. It frustrates me to no end when people put most, if not all of the blame on Lapis. Jasper and Lapis were *both* in the wrong. They *both* hurt *each other*. There are times when both people in a relationship can be victims and abusers at the same time. No toxic relationship is the same as the other. Person A can be horrible to Person B. Or the other way around. Heck. They can both be bad. And on top of that. Everyone is effected differently by their trauma. Most often than not. People with trauma will likely have unhealthy coping mechanisms before they get better and get help. They aren't going to always be dainty, hurt, and emotionally/ mentally damaged people. They can get really angry and untrusting of the people around them. Especially if those people have done something to cause their trauma. For Lapis. She didn't like being around the crystal gems, because they imprisoned her for thousands of years, and used her knowledge about the diamonds and the Home World gems. Jasper and Peridot held her prisoner almost immediately after she was freed after several years. Jasper wanted to use Lapis to take down the Crystal Gems, and most definitely would have either poofed or shattered Lapis if she refused. Lapis didn't know if Peridot had really changed, so she was stand off-ish to her (at least at first). Not to mention. She probably thought that Periot was no better than Jasper, due to the fact that they worked together, and as previously mentioned. Held Lapis prisoner. Are Lapis's actions justified? *No.* But are they more understandable than we think? Yes, at least a little bit.
As much as I love Lapis, she's probably one of my least favorite gems. Not necessarily because of the show, but because of how a lot of the fandom treats her like she's completely innocent. Jasper is my favorite gem on the show, yet I can still say that she did some pretty crappy things. Anyway, I'm glad that this video doesn't go into the camp of making her blameless. She's a very realistic character when every quality of hers is acknowledged.
Lapis is my favorite character but apart of the reason I like her so much is because she’s messed up and done some bad things. She’s not perfect, and she did some things she shouldn’t have. That doesn’t excuse what she did, but I still forgive her for it.
Agreed. I like how Lapis is used as a metaphor/symbol of a person from an abusive relationship, but despise how people are like "Oh, she was being abused by Jasper" because to say that is to ignore that she in the show even blatantly stated she liked being Malachite, she liked abusing Jasper as well. If the fanbase admits that Lapis isn't a good person, and maybe Jasper isn't a good person either, then maybe the place would stop being so toxic.
I tend to hate peridot when she was introduced, then grew to really like her character (I also hate green, so it was hard to like her design). On the other hand, I was very intrigued by lapis. I really like her design but she became a unrelatable character as episodes went by.
I’m not sure if people know this but Lapis’ name that she chooses for a human name (Bob) is from when Lapis leaves earth and Steven says “no prob Bob” which Lapis does reply with: “It’s Lapis” I dunno I just though it was cool
I think my favourite part about Steven Universe is characters are very rarely punished longterm for making mistakes, and are always forgiven and given a chance, and tools to help. So many people I've know would write me off for accidental trauma responses or mistakes. They would treat me like I'm bad, but I was afraid and didn't know how to cope. And I don't blame them, but it can enforce the negative internal self talk when that happens a lot and you don't know how to fix yourself.
I absolutely adore Lapis because I really connect with her. I really like seeing characters who's pain is acknowledged and respected, and who are given the room and time to heal. as much as I love my parents, they really don't take my mental health seriously. I've fairly recently decided to just repress my feelings about my mental health because it's really unsafe for me to keep talking to my parents about them. I just love how much care and love Lapis is given, how Steven treats her in particular. I wish I had the support network Lapis has.
I like how you didn't say she's a victim of abuse. Like she is, but she was also the reason for Malachite. When Jasper asked, she asked. Lapis could have likely said no. But Lapis said yes with the intention of decieving Jasper, so she's no better.
My FAVORITE thing about Lapis was her and jasper’s relationship. It was horrible and sad- but I love that they formed Malachite together because malachite is toxic in water, and they are a toxic relationship.it’s so stupid but it’s my absolute favorite thing about the show. Jasper and Lapis are some of my favorites characters from this show because of how deep they are. And honestly-their stories and backgrounds and mysteries are so much more interesting than the main characters stories, but I think that’s just cause the mc’s trauma is thrown in our faces. Also when reading Lapis’s lines, you sounded like her
Love these! Keep doing these on the characters! It’s pretty interesting. Also, I love Peridot and Lapis. It could use some work, but what relationship doesn’t.
When i first watched this show, i never paid really attention to the gem’s personality but i main focused in the show when i was a whole lot younger, now that i’m older (im in the young adult stage) I realized that these gems are all female and different for a reason. And Lapis Lazuli is the gem that i mostly relate to, i’ve been abused, stressed, have anxiety and feared of many things. I keep thinking running away will help but it doesn’t, it makes things worse. Now that i’m in therapy and such, i’m learning how to overcome those fears and break free from my box and try to make and understand other people and maybe, make new friends along the way.
Lapis Lazuli is one of my favorite character of Steven Universe she was the only one who wanted to be friended with Steven, Steven was the only one to change and to find herself on earth to called her this place as her home from out from Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst Lapis was the only one to listen to Steven and being patience with him, on the show of Same Old World Lapis was curious about life and how the world change their season, Lapis did run away because she's was afraid however she did come back because she's miss and care for Steven.
Lapis Lazuli is my favorite character in Steven Universe because of her symbolism, her powers, her outfits, her experiences, her personality, her attitude, and her beautiful voice
Lapis has always been the most relatable character to me. I had to go through a tough life as a kid and it only got worse, I was diagnosed with severe deppression and anxiety sometimes crying and not leaving my bedroom for day except to use the bathroom and drink tap water. I was sent to a ward after they saw blade marks when they walked in on me getting dressed and now I read and write everynight but the feeling is still there.
I love how in Steven Universe they address very serious real life problems like toxic relationships, this shows that lapis thought she was so wrong she felt good to take her pain on jasper. Lapis feels she’s always getting taken advantage so she closes up, I’m glad Lapis is now in a lot better place.
Well, Steven Universe is pretty much a, Geology, Chemistry, History and a 'Real Situations with Solutions' cartoon. Hell, it's literally helping me pass all of those classes as we speak. Like if you agree 👇
A pouch of little amethyst crystals cost about 5 to 9 dollars depending on if the amethyst were cut to be that small or if they were just that small to begin with.
Thanks for making this. I'm just started trauma therapy and I really relate to lapis lazuli. Somehow this video made me feel better about my future. Love you guys 💜
Hi :) I do not know if anyone mentionned this in a comment, but I found out that the lapis lazuli gem is also believed to be a stone that helps 'with difficult choices.' (I will have to check my sources again, sadly, because I read this a while ago) I think this is pretty interesting, given that Lapis definitely has difficulties choosing between staying on earth with her friends, or leaving, and being on her own. She also took the very hard choice to fuse with Jasper, which was certainly not an esay way to handle things. I just wanted to add this :)
I don't think lapis is patho kinetic resistant, blue is able to project her sorrows to a debilitating amount, but lapis been through the hardest struggles making blue's depression aura basicly nothing. Why else did she said "I felt worse" blue's aura is worthless to those who gone through terrible hardships.
My favorite Crystal Gem, mostly because her experiences and the lines derived from them I myself can relate to my own situation. And she also has one of my favorite designs, she's truly adorable.
The scary thing is that even after she was trapped in a mirror she was captured by jasper, the. Forced to hold malachite at the bottom of the ocean on top of that she still didn’t feel like she belonged anywhere, even if she could go to home world she wouldn’t because as she says “who knows they’d to me their”
I think the biggest lesson Steven Universe tries to give is "it's ok to be broken", long as you try to be better.
@Elisa Castro true

That's a big part of the Movie and Spinel's arc.

Lapis' consequence of leaving Earth is loneliness, sorrow, pain, sadness, it's not a consequence you immediately see because it's not one you think of.

Myuni i think it’s very cute that peridot is considerate of lapis’s preferences! however if they ever hug. i will cry
Oof
Physical touch can be very overstimulating within the context of PTSD so Peridot's consideration speaks volumes. Sometimes close proximity (what P ultimately wanted more) will suffice for a bit. Both friends' needs matter in their reunification. 💜

My favourite character development of lapis was when she got her sandles.
Lapis is my favorite character. The story of someone so deeply damaged who transforms into someone who can learn to live freely is amazing. Everything she does is perfectly reminiscent of real people. Her struggle to take control after it was snatched away is classic psycology. It's not healthy and that's why she grows up and avoid that.

I'm still disappointed that her reunion with peridot wasn't a bit more..... meaningful. Just a hey. But.... maybe it was meant to be that way and I'm missing some meaning behind it, who knows.
Well Lapis is an example of someone who has been trapped in an abusive relationship. She's likely distancing herself from others before they can hurt or disappoint her. So when she shows up, she's nonchalant and kinda stoic because that gives her the control of how far their relationship goes. They cant cling to hard or push her away if she controls it. People who come out of abusive situations like that typically learn to stifle their emotions to better be the robot they feel they have to be to cope with the world. I want her and Peridot to fuse but I dont think it'll happen for a long while just because her only experience with it is wholly negative. She'll have to take a long time to realize that it's okay to relax and be herself again and that the people around her wont use or abuse her kindness.
Certainly didn’t stop her from accepting Steven’s hug
@@Kokiri-Kid-07 she was never abusive toward steven while in a clear state of mind. once her gem was fixed and she knew he wasn't a threat in any way, she trusted him a bit easier.
with peridot, she could have very well seen her as a threat. remember, peridot was a big reason she was imprisoned in jailbreak. she probably still associates her with that subconsciously.
i have severe ptsd and i find myself drawn to lapis because i very much did do the same things she did. i was in the same situation she was in with jasper, and later the situation she was in with the crystal gems.
i left my jasper, found my steven, and so on. but i still had a peridot, somebody who loved me who i loved but was unable to show it. i did very much care for this person, but i still abused them in ways that they never deserved, and my ptsd doesn't excuse that. the things i said and did were wrong.
i distance myself from that person now, because as much as i do care for them, i know that i wronged them and need to give them space.
i viewed lapis's distant greeting of peridot and immediate acceptance of steven's open affection as this:
she would have accepted peridot's affection if it was offered, but because it wasn't, she felt that it wasn't welcome. she wasn't going to initiate a heartfelt greeting because she was unsure if peridot would even care for that.
It’s really hard to go back to someone after you hurt them even when you want to apologize

Oh, most definitely
"She was mistaken for a crystal gem"
No. She was mistaken for a homeworld gem and poofed by bismuth.
Thank you, someone who caught this. Literally in the clip, Bismuth clearly poofed Lapis.
And now theyre friends
@@realrealwarpet I hope Rebecca Sugar gives us an episode where they explain when they hashed that out. Because I personally would remember the person who poofed me before I got trapped in an mirror for years.
She was poofed by bismuth, but wasn’t she also taken by homeworld gems who thought she was a crystal gem and used her for inside info on the crystal gems?
@@bakedpizzapie5375 that's a good point I did forget that. but initially she was mistaken for a homeworld gem.
I would like to compliment NerdWire on an outstanding approach to the addressing PTSD and anxiety in this video. Many fans of the Steven Universe series have compared Lapis Lazuli ‘s behavior similar to those with the two mental health conditions mentioned. There is lots of stigma surrounding mental health but NerdWire took the time to explain it to the watcher and showed how it could be a factor into the character design without discrediting the idea by fixating on it. It’s kind of nice to see people do their research on the topic, even if it is a fraction of a video. Especially to those who deal with it regularly.
7:58 that is the cutest way I've ever heard anyone say any word.

Lapis is my favorite character, I can really relate to her cuz I've been emotionally mentally and physically absurd. I have a lot of depression and truama from people taking advantage of me, really bad a relationships and my family abusing me. I seriously know where she is coming from and its nice to know that there is a character on a popular tv that represents and makes these kinds of things aware.
That sounds rough bud, I'm glad you found someone to you can relate too
Oh come on guys. Lapis isn’t all that relatable. She LITERALLY has no character and does nothing throughout the show and is an empty shell 🐚 of what her character should’ve been. All thanks to that witch 🧙♀️ Rebecca Sugar, my Gem💎💙Titans character Capis💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💧☂️🌊☔️⛈💦Audia💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊💧💦☔️☂️⛈’s faithful message and loving 🥰 spirit, and her big strong yet calming presence was completely destroyed. If I were showrunner, I would have Lapis be the leader of the Gems💎, and leave Garnet out of it completely. I would make Lapis, or I’m sorry CAPIS, the strong, loving🥰, romantic and maternal, humble, intelligent, wonderful, leader who was once created by Princess 👑 👑 Luna 🌙 , but after discovering Earth 🌍 and our ancestors, the early humans, she vowed with all her faithful might to protect them. And that right there, was what made her, come to be....Captimus💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊☔️💧☂️⛈💦Audia💙💙💙💙💙💧🌊⛈☂️☔️💦Prime 🏅, the first and only of the Prime🥇Gems💎. She protected our ancestors from danger during the war with Equestria as best she could, and asked absolutely NOTHING in return. She led the Gem 💎 Titans in Eris Quartz’s stead. The early humans showed her a prophecy speaking of a great darkness, in the form of a storm ⛈ that brought a giant red and black dragon 🐉 with dark eyes, orange 🍊wings, and clawed hooves into the world 🌍 . It was the prophecy of Empress Sidia, or Remmy Maheswaran. Capis searched everywhere through every storm ⛈ for signs 🪧 of it coming true, but Centuries later, Capis realized the dragon 🐉 was in fact a symbol, depicting Remmy. Remmy has dark terrifying powers that cause all kinds of natural disasters and tragedies across creation, like breakups, divorces, paranormal activity, severe weather, tornadoes 🌪 and hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, blizzards🥶, floods🌊💧💦☂️☔️, and she can also shoot more than 900,000,000 BILLION volts of red and black lightning ⚡️ from her fingers. Connie Maheswaran/Empress Sidia was the very darkness that the early humans gave Capis💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙⛈🌊💧💦☔️☂️the destiny to destroy.
Ok so Can you have a knock off “better Lapis” and call Rebecca a Witch? Sure, we all have first OC’s and mine was bad but REPLACING GARNET IS NOT OKEY-DOKEY DUDE!!! Also, don’t disrespect Rebecca. They made a show you liked touch to watch a video about a character from it. She is a master.
Want to apologize for my rude comment, realized this could’ve been a joke. Rebecca is a gem themselves, hope u agree
Rose quartz in real life is supposed to be good for emotional healing, loving yourself, and recovering from trauma... and Rose Quartz in the show CAUSED emotional trauma XD
She also didn't love herself as herself. Not as Pink Diamond, nor Rose Quartz. I mean I guess through Steven.. But I'd argue that's still a no. That's still wouldn't be as herself. Plus she gave Steven her gem. And its been confirmed that Steven is his own person, not another one of Pink's alter egos.
Rose had low sense of self worth and so does Steven who shares his mother’s gem. The end credits song is about both of them struggling with their self worth.
@@mandyr0912it doesn’t matter what she went threw she got thousands of gems shattered then disappeared
Wait, so, if Steven could heal the earth and regrow it’s plants in a certain area with a kiss or spit, if he fused with lapis, could they use lapis’ hydrokinesis to do the same thing but on a wider scale or would it not work bc it’s just water
If it doesn’t work, then Steven is gonna have to spend another time skip just kissing the planet
Note: “I hatED you.” Is that as in she doesn’t hate her anymore?
I think she meant when they were still Malechite. She hated Jasper but loved taking *everything* out on her as Malechite.
Ay it's Ally oh! That makes sense!
Lee 2 King like she channeled all her hate and anger put it on jasper
I want her to have a gem weapon...
Definitely a trident.
water IS her weapon.
Well you got your wish lol
Tbh i really like Lapis, the first time they introduced her i immediately suspected she’s goin to go through alot of growth. Aside from her tremendous power & excellent control due to her emotional growth throughout the series.
Even tho her growth took a long while, it’s reasonable. Considering she got stuck inside a mirror for a 1000years, made the decision to imprison herself & jasper underneath the sea for idk how long.
Most of the time choosing the road of being alone, because at some point of our lives, we have to go through it alone. After all that i’d understand she had a hard time trusting anyone other than Steven whom she owes to for setting herself free from the mirror.
Spinel’s story although tragic as well, all the Diamonds were willing to grow along side with her. Their party needed to move on & grow from Pink. Lapis literally had...no one
She's beauty
She's grace
She's emo Smurfette

I- what in tarnation

2:48 some people say this is undermining the thousands and thousands of years of mourning blue has went through, but I see it differently. Blue sees her suffering as something nobody could ever feel and that she has been through the worst of the worst, but lapis basically tells her she isn’t, that other people have felt her pain
Abby Werner No it’s not that deep. It’s one of Blue’s powers to make people cry... idk who started the idea that it had anything to do with Blue’s personal pain.
lapis is my comfort character, im only 15 but ive experience a range of trauma and so seeing a character go through trauma and the way they grow and cope with it really helps me, she makes me so happy and i'm so grateful for this show
My fellow survivor.
I've been loving this gem psychology analysis series.
fireflyer97 I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!
Lapis has got to be one of my favorite characters honestly
I’ve noticed that none of the crystal gems care too much for or try to get close to Lapis lazuli. Ruby particularly doesn’t care for her as we saw in jail break. It’s in stark contrast to the way they bond with Peridot. Garnet says that Steven is worried “for his friend” not their friend when she returns to the barn.
Funny thing is, Lapis is what made me watch SU in the first place. I saw a little bit of her first episode on a TV in a Macca's and her character design and powers made me want to keep watching.
I still want to see Lapis Lazuli and Peridot fuse together and here's why: for Peridot it would be the best answer for understanding Garnet and fusion as a whole, the good and the bad while giving her more of an insight for how Lapis feels. For Lapis, fusion would be as big a step as Pearl when she shapeshifter in 'Snow Day': it would show she was able to overcome a large traumatic event and show her acceptance and deeper trust for Peridot. With how she feels now it's the 'once bitten twice shy' kinda thing. Fusion would be a major step for both of them and I feel like Steven would end up being the reason, especially since it was because he made the effort and took the steps to help them without pressure or push. Damn this comment is long.....sorry y'all
This was cool, Lapis is actually the reason I found the show in the first place :)
Where did you get that profile picture? Ive been seeing it a lot lately
"Aren't amethysts supposed to be expensive?" Oh honey you don't know how cheap they are, you can get one the size of your palm for $15
I love Lapis so much because she's been through so much and her mental health feels so realistic, because I hate when a character goes through something major, but then the optimistic main character gives a speech about "Yeah, you might think everything is bad, but actually, everything is great, you just have to get over it~" and then they're suddenly fixed. That's not how the real world works, and honestly it kind of undermines everything people with those problems have to go through everyday for years at a time. With Lapis, her problems and issues never just go away one day, they get better over time, but she still has relapses, and all that jazz.
As spinel herself said: “You can’t make everything better by singing some stupid song!”
Lapis first word:
Thank
Lapis last word:
You
I'm not so sure if that was intentional. But if so that's dope.
LOVED THIS
BUT
Everyone forgets she was a prisoner to peridot and jasper. Peridot even says to her at one point that he knowledge of earth was so valuable, hence why she was their captive. Her actions to Jasper and Peridot are rooted in that trauma too
So a Lapiz Lazuli takes all the sadness and stores it in itself? That seems depressing...
I have zero idea why, but I never thought I would relate to a cartoon character so much. Lapis has always been my favorite, from attitude to character design. Lapis is best girl
Raw gemstones really aren't that expensive...depends on the gemstone. Amethyst, I think, is one of the more common ones. It's the polished and cut stones that tend to be more pricey
Lapidot is adorable and my life. I’d LOVE to have a lifelong partner who will watch cartoons and discuss theories with me
I wish Lapidot happened in the show. It’s the shipping that most likely could’ve happened. At the end of Barn Mates, we see a implication where Peridot gives a big smile to Lapis and in response Lapis blushes and turns away from Peridot. That was the moment where it made us think about them being a couple in the near future but unfortunately it didn’t happened. The reason why I wish they were in a couple is because it would’ve helped Lapis overcome her fears of being fused with Jasper and trapped being a prisoner as she says, giving her better character development. It would’ve helped more if Peridot was there when Steven toke Lapis to sea on the boat so that she could also make her feel comfortable, happy, and defend Lapis from Jasper which would’ve help strengthen their bond even further. I haven’t watched Future but I know there was a episode about Lapis and the other two L’s and Peridot was in it but from what I heard it wasn’t it anything TOO significant for the Lapidot shipping. Although it the shipping never happened in part 1 and 2 of the series ( Steven Universe and Future ) it’s still a big possibility for it to happen since gems can live for a very long time if not forever. Maybe in a couple of years later or in a millennia Peridot will finally begin to make her move on Lapis. If Sugar ever decide to make the shipping canon it’ll really make my life bright for a while. And if we ever see them fuse officially then I really wouldn’t know what to say other than, “YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS IT FINALLY HAPPENED YEESSEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WHHHEEEEWWWWWWW” Also Sugar can decide if she wants to make a little dlc mission in Unleash the Light where it’s about Lapidot. Just want us fans to be a little optimistic in case it happens but don’t have your expectations to high
White Diamond basically explained the whole impurity thing about gems is what they absorb so I think you're onto something
Lapis lazuli: “I’ve felt worse.” The crowd: ooooooooooooohhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I’ve loved lapis for years and everyone who defends her are my heros
Like lapis we survived the evil of humanity & survived. 😀💖💔😇😢
I'm currently studying to become a CBT, and this was lovely to listen to.
Malachite is also toxic in water
i always wondered why i understood lapis and all my friends hated her. i have ptsd and her thoughts feelings and catalists make complete sense to me. thank you. really.
I think some people just don't like how abusive she is.
Thats why its important we get help ^^
@@JinxsyYT Sorry to revive an old comment. But. I understand Lapis's pain. It frustrates me to no end when people put most, if not all of the blame on Lapis.
Jasper and Lapis were *both* in the wrong. They *both* hurt *each other*. There are times when both people in a relationship can be victims and abusers at the same time. No toxic relationship is the same as the other. Person A can be horrible to Person B. Or the other way around. Heck. They can both be bad.
And on top of that. Everyone is effected differently by their trauma. Most often than not. People with trauma will likely have unhealthy coping mechanisms before they get better and get help. They aren't going to always be dainty, hurt, and emotionally/ mentally damaged people. They can get really angry and untrusting of the people around them. Especially if those people have done something to cause their trauma.
For Lapis. She didn't like being around the crystal gems, because they imprisoned her for thousands of years, and used her knowledge about the diamonds and the Home World gems. Jasper and Peridot held her prisoner almost immediately after she was freed after several years. Jasper wanted to use Lapis to take down the Crystal Gems, and most definitely would have either poofed or shattered Lapis if she refused. Lapis didn't know if Peridot had really changed, so she was stand off-ish to her (at least at first). Not to mention. She probably thought that Periot was no better than Jasper, due to the fact that they worked together, and as previously mentioned. Held Lapis prisoner.
Are Lapis's actions justified? *No.* But are they more understandable than we think? Yes, at least a little bit.
Lapis is my favourite character from the show
(Probably because we have the same personality)
Emo with PTSD?
I see Lapis as more human even though she’s a gem
I want to point out that Lapis’ new form has gold accents, similar to how real world lapises have gold accents in them.
As much as I love Lapis, she's probably one of my least favorite gems. Not necessarily because of the show, but because of how a lot of the fandom treats her like she's completely innocent.
Jasper is my favorite gem on the show, yet I can still say that she did some pretty crappy things.
Anyway, I'm glad that this video doesn't go into the camp of making her blameless. She's a very realistic character when every quality of hers is acknowledged.
and yet doesn't get a consequence.
Lapis is my favorite character but apart of the reason I like her so much is because she’s messed up and done some bad things. She’s not perfect, and she did some things she shouldn’t have. That doesn’t excuse what she did, but I still forgive her for it.
midge314 I dont
I dont understand why so many fans love Jasper. Could you give me a hint?
Agreed. I like how Lapis is used as a metaphor/symbol of a person from an abusive relationship, but despise how people are like "Oh, she was being abused by Jasper" because to say that is to ignore that she in the show even blatantly stated she liked being Malachite, she liked abusing Jasper as well. If the fanbase admits that Lapis isn't a good person, and maybe Jasper isn't a good person either, then maybe the place would stop being so toxic.
I tend to hate peridot when she was introduced, then grew to really like her character (I also hate green, so it was hard to like her design). On the other hand, I was very intrigued by lapis. I really like her design but she became a unrelatable character as episodes went by.
You’ve probably never felt trapped or had depression have you?
@@deViianceTV I did but haven't handled them the way she does still a cool character tho.
Finally! Someone who hates bob
battlecatsandMSMfan forever AUTTP I don’t rly like lapis I like peridot tho
@@LunaticLuni just cool ranch packet than
Steven: the galactic therapist
I’m not sure if people know this but Lapis’ name that she chooses for a human name (Bob) is from when Lapis leaves earth and Steven says “no prob Bob” which Lapis does reply with: “It’s Lapis” I dunno I just though it was cool
I think my favourite part about Steven Universe is characters are very rarely punished longterm for making mistakes, and are always forgiven and given a chance, and tools to help. So many people I've know would write me off for accidental trauma responses or mistakes. They would treat me like I'm bad, but I was afraid and didn't know how to cope. And I don't blame them, but it can enforce the negative internal self talk when that happens a lot and you don't know how to fix yourself.
Lapis lazuli's journey in life went from pain to paint
I absolutely adore Lapis because I really connect with her. I really like seeing characters who's pain is acknowledged and respected, and who are given the room and time to heal. as much as I love my parents, they really don't take my mental health seriously. I've fairly recently decided to just repress my feelings about my mental health because it's really unsafe for me to keep talking to my parents about them. I just love how much care and love Lapis is given, how Steven treats her in particular. I wish I had the support network Lapis has.
I like how you didn't say she's a victim of abuse. Like she is, but she was also the reason for Malachite. When Jasper asked, she asked. Lapis could have likely said no. But Lapis said yes with the intention of decieving Jasper, so she's no better.
After all that development she will be underused an inevitable fate for her, peridot, and bismuth or also known as the crystal temps
Amethysts are pretty inexpensive as crystals go, actually. Especially as small, uneven chips.
10 & 11 place hehe 😂😂😂 I Loooveee the "yikes" said by Garnet
lapis was and still is my fav gem in the whole series her design and back story are amazing
My FAVORITE thing about Lapis was her and jasper’s relationship. It was horrible and sad- but I love that they formed Malachite together because malachite is toxic in water, and they are a toxic relationship.it’s so stupid but it’s my absolute favorite thing about the show. Jasper and Lapis are some of my favorites characters from this show because of how deep they are. And honestly-their stories and backgrounds and mysteries are so much more interesting than the main characters stories, but I think that’s just cause the mc’s trauma is thrown in our faces. Also when reading Lapis’s lines, you sounded like her
Lapis is my favorite character. Watching Steven Universe right after I left an abusive relationship and seeing Lapis’s journey helped me so much.
"They came to earth in there little spaceship acting all mad...so i put then on timeout"
Love these! Keep doing these on the characters! It’s pretty interesting.
Also, I love Peridot and Lapis. It could use some work, but what relationship doesn’t.
Steven probably gets therapist of the year every year
When i first watched this show, i never paid really attention to the gem’s personality but i main focused in the show when i was a whole lot younger, now that i’m older (im in the young adult stage) I realized that these gems are all female and different for a reason. And Lapis Lazuli is the gem that i mostly relate to, i’ve been abused, stressed, have anxiety and feared of many things. I keep thinking running away will help but it doesn’t, it makes things worse. Now that i’m in therapy and such, i’m learning how to overcome those fears and break free from my box and try to make and understand other people and maybe, make new friends along the way.
Never knew i could relate so closely to a Jem.
You weren't trapped in a mirror for 5000 years
Lapis is my favorite character
I relate to her and Amethyst as characters
I've have similar experience like theirs
She didnt like peridot beacuse she kidnapped her in the last episode of season 1 too
Normally in this case I’d say lapis needs a hug but I think Steven and peridot already hugged her
She’s used to enchant my Diamond Sword
Lapis Lazuli is one of my favorite character of Steven Universe she was the only one who wanted to be friended with Steven, Steven was the only one to change and to find herself on earth to called her this place as her home from out from Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst Lapis was the only one to listen to Steven and being patience with him, on the show of Same Old World Lapis was curious about life and how the world change their season, Lapis did run away because she's was afraid however she did come back because she's miss and care for Steven.
Everytime I watch Steven universe.. I sometimes wonder if gems can be melted like metals.
Bismuth as a material can be melted and at a lower temperature than most, ironic considering she often bathes in molten lava.
Lapis Lazuli is my favorite character in Steven Universe because of her symbolism, her powers, her outfits, her experiences, her personality, her attitude, and her beautiful voice
Dr Phil?
Who is that?
Steven Universe is the only best therapist i know
Lapis has always been the most relatable character to me. I had to go through a tough life as a kid and it only got worse, I was diagnosed with severe deppression and anxiety sometimes crying and not leaving my bedroom for day except to use the bathroom and drink tap water. I was sent to a ward after they saw blade marks when they walked in on me getting dressed and now I read and write everynight but the feeling is still there.
I love how in Steven Universe they address very serious real life problems like toxic relationships, this shows that lapis thought she was so wrong she felt good to take her pain on jasper. Lapis feels she’s always getting taken advantage so she closes up, I’m glad Lapis is now in a lot better place.
I love how kids shows have so much story and thoughts behind them
Well, Steven Universe is pretty much a, Geology, Chemistry, History and a 'Real Situations with Solutions' cartoon. Hell, it's literally helping me pass all of those classes as we speak. Like if you agree
👇
A pouch of little amethyst crystals cost about 5 to 9 dollars depending on if the amethyst were cut to be that small or if they were just that small to begin with.
Thanks for making this. I'm just started trauma therapy and I really relate to lapis lazuli. Somehow this video made me feel better about my future. Love you guys 💜
***I’VE FELT WORSE***
-Lapiz Lazuli
Best Voice Line **EVER**
See, the thing with Lapis in the mirror is that the other CGs thought that she was dead. They didn’t know that she was still alive.
Hi :)
I do not know if anyone mentionned this in a comment, but I found out that the lapis lazuli gem is also believed to be a stone that helps 'with difficult choices.' (I will have to check my sources again, sadly, because I read this a while ago)
I think this is pretty interesting, given that Lapis definitely has difficulties choosing between staying on earth with her friends, or leaving, and being on her own.
She also took the very hard choice to fuse with Jasper, which was certainly not an esay way to handle things.
I just wanted to add this :)
I mean, amethysts are probably one of the cheapest crystals you can buy.
DL Jas That might be why there’s a lot of them in SU? :0
I like the detail of each diamond adding bits of their personalities into the gems they create
I don't think lapis is patho kinetic resistant, blue is able to project her sorrows to a debilitating amount, but lapis been through the hardest struggles making blue's depression aura basicly nothing. Why else did she said "I felt worse" blue's aura is worthless to those who gone through terrible hardships.
8:30 I feel like the reason the gems take on the attributes they ward off is because they absorb them. That's how 've always understood gems.
My favourite character
My favorite Crystal Gem, mostly because her experiences and the lines derived from them I myself can relate to my own situation. And she also has one of my favorite designs, she's truly adorable.
She is my favourite gem and then it's peridot yes I'm a lapidot fanboy
The scary thing is that even after she was trapped in a mirror she was captured by jasper, the. Forced to hold malachite at the bottom of the ocean on top of that she still didn’t feel like she belonged anywhere, even if she could go to home world she wouldn’t because as she says “who knows they’d to me their”
Lapis was on the battle field because she can project things that happend. She was a security camera.
I've always love lapis and more I learn about the more i Love her
You can always count on Steven to keep things optimistic 😁
Been loving these videos on the gems and the symbolism/psychoanalysis behind them. Please do keep doing them!
Haldon Lindstrom thanks! We just filmed a new one yesterday 🥰
Lapis used negativity
Not very effective
Steven used positivity
It was super effective
