Honestly shoutout to Steven Universe for the representation of malachite and abusive relationships because it holds up really well and is still like one of the only abuse narratives I’ve seen that portrays how like. Abusive relationships aren’t as simple as “evil abusive person was constantly Mean and Bad to nice victim” like. Lapis is a realistic victim. She refused to leave the relationship because she longed to have connection with someone and she liked feeling as though she could have control for once, even though she really didn’t. She wasn’t nice and innocent, she felt anger and resentment and liked taking it out on Jasper. And despite how horrible it was, she deeply misses Jasper because it was the longest and deepest relationship she’s ever had with anyone and she didn’t know how to function without it
But Lapis is still a victim and we’re meant to care for her and understand where she comes from. She chose to stay with Jasper to keep others safe from her harm, and because she thought she herself deserved the abuse as a way of making up for everything bad she’s done. Jasper reminds Lapis over and over that she is a monster and that’s why they should be together, because Jasper is the only one who understands her. And when Lapis finally rejects their relationship, she mostly states it through what she herself felt and has done, saying that she didn’t like the person she became in that relationship and she never wants to feel like that ever again. It’s messy and complicated, just like how actual abuse is
Anyways yeah talk about a very good abuse narrative thanks steven universe

Lol u drew one suggestive Raeda and you live in harmony as the "spicy Raeda artist"
Btw I love the correlation of Raine to Lapis, any chance u would extend it to other SU characters?
I live in infamy as "the spicy Raeda artist" more like. Also thank you (for changing the subject lol)
I actually was discussing over on my Instagram thre idea of drawing young Raine as Connie (and potentially vice versa). Both love interests with glasses, who play the violin and end up being skilled fighters. Also have a friends to lovers relationship with the character who they end up with despite one keeping secrets from the other, and are "jam buds" (Steven's guitar is kinda like Eda's mandolin?)
I also had another comic idea where after defeating Belos Raine tells Darius they're moving in with Eda, and Darius gets upset because he thought he, Raine, and Eberwolf would live together to raise Hunter "like in Steven Universe". The joke would be that Darius thinks he's Garnet and Raine's Pearl, but Raine assumed Darius would be Pearl. (Eberwolf is Amythest and Hunter Steven ofc)
Then of course I've seen a few people compare Eda and Raine to Ruby and Sapphire. So they're Garne-

lots of jasper haters back in the day hated jasper for reasons they completely projected onto her. don’t get me wrong, there are legitimate reasons to be “anti-jasper”, but they literally made shit up.

idk what's the right way to say this but you kinda give me Lapis Lazuli vibes, but in a good way
I used to love Steven Universe so much I can't even begin to tell you😭😭 then it got.... bad- BUT never forget how my sister asked me if I felt like Lapis, when we were watching that one episode were she sang about being depressed-
I just sat there and said: nope😶
Ya know... like a LIAR
