Honestly, I want Lapis to join up with the Crystal Gems mostly so that Pearl can take a break from being the most emotionally messed-up protagonist.
isn’t that Peridot’s job
Nah. Peridot’s got issues, sure, but Pearl has subscriptions.
(Seriously, you wanna talk about issues, Peridot is like the table at your dentist’s office. Pearl is like that bookcase in your weird aunt’s basement with every National Geographic since 1977, carefully shelved in chronological order, with clearly labelled plastic dividers between years and separate, numerically indexed bins to keep the fold-out maps from the featured articles organised.)
Since I’ve been asked a couple of times: extending the metaphor, Lapis Lazuli is like a bulletproof safe in a locked basement with a copy of Action Comics #1 inside; i.e., there’s just the one issue, but it’s one with vast and far-reaching influence, and its owner has put a great deal of effort into making sure nobody else gets a good look at it.
