>Hey guys, let's make Lapis Daria because reasons. You know, because "stone-cold stoic bitch" is totally the way to bring back this character.
sorry you're upset that when your blank waifu finally got some characterization it didn't match your headcanon
same thing with people calling peridot "threatening" because she stepped on a robot
>>83784417
I only saw her in three episodes. That one episode where the giant ship crashed and she pulled that orange She-Hulk bitch into the ocean, the end of that episode where she calls a pillar of water into space and Steven talks to her and she goes to Venus or some shit, and now the baseball episode.
She went from a psycho bitch, to a timid and scared doormat, and now a stoic and emotionless bitch.
>>83784417
Dick squad Lapis is best lapis.
I don't believe in Steven because Rebecca let everyone turn her shit into muh shipping wars, muh lesbians instead of advancing the plot along a la adventure time. If Steven doesn't like follow up questions and we can only see things from his POV, maybe you shouldn't let your storyboarders write le quirky stories about Amedot, Lapidot or whatever the fuck and stop having Steven talk everyone out of everything.
> over a year since the first bomb
> malachite just got separated to go be one off characters
> cluster talked down after months of hype
> treated to ruby and sapphire being retarded because lezzie gem love is the best love
FUCK OFF SUGAR
>>83784417
>what is same old world
we only saw her moody in two episodes because she had to be involved with peridot
>implying it isn't the perfect counter-balance to Peridot's manic enthusiasm
Seriously, it's the perfect counterbalance to Peridot's character.
>>83784417
What's a Daria?
>>83784622
It was before your time.
>>83784417
She hates Peridiot so she shut down and refused to cooperate. So what?
>>83784577
>months of hype
You mean seven additional months of network-imposed hiatuses. Rewatching the cluster episodes makes it pretty clear it was never intended to be more than a minor obstacle, but the hiatus really screwed up people's perception of things, and CN's marketing didn't help.
>>83784417
Better than being turned into obnoxious comic relief.
>>83784606
Not really, there's been nothing entertaining or even interesting about their interactions so far. It's just Lapis being a cunt to Peridot causing Steven to try and fix things, I'd say a better balance would be Pearl and Peridot because Peridot isn't always happy and enthusiastic so "always a cunt" really doesn't balance things out.
holy fuck you guys seriously can't stay in the fucking trash for one month
>>83784417
>Daria
I don't think you understand Daria.
What are you people doing outside your trash can?
>>83784806
Well they've only had one episode so far in which to play off of each other, and it was basically a setup episode. Give it some timeget it because hiatuses.
>>83784417
what... what did you expect her to be? She was dragged back to Earth against her will and spent all that rage on Jasper at the bottom of the ocean.
So yeah, she's pretty fucking tired of everything at the moment. Her time spent alone is currently relaxing and trying to enjoy the new perspective on Earth that Steven showed her.
The fact that she isn't going "MUH NAME IS LAPIS YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE" whenever she's in the vicinity of the CG/Peridot is a huge improvement.
>>83784577
>advancing the plot along a la adventure time
You mean resetting the status quo one episode after a major event?
>>83784733
>literally going to destroy the entire planet
>pretty clear it was never intended to be more than a minor obstacle
>>83784941
From a narrative standpoint anon. They weren't building it up like it was going to be a massive conflict that would test Steven at his limits, it was basically just;
>Drill to cluster.
>???
>Cluster stopped.

You watched those episodes completely out of order.
>>83784417
>Lapis on Earth doing fuck all
>right on the battlefront
>fucking mortars going off around her
>still has her finger up her ass
>Homeworld troops see her standing there and rush to delay the oncoming rebels
>they die trying to give her the vital seconds needed to flee
>she just stands there brooding
>only tries to flee when a rebel is literally two feet in front of her
>gets poofed
Why is Lapis such a god damn retard?
>>83784941
For me, I think the threat was just too outrageous for this 'boss' to end with anything more than Steven talking it down before it forms. That's why the barn arc felt so lacking in substance for me, because there's no way the writers would actually destroy the planet before YD presumably shows up in the finale.
>>83785069
implying that was literal representation of what happened and not a figurative representation.
>>83784417
I actually really like Dick Squad Lapis. She's a cunt but I like her dynamic with the other characters. I actually worry the writers are going to warm her up too fast. It's obviously coming, but I need more Bitch Lapis in my life.
>>83785069
I think that might have been an artistic depiction on Lapis's part. Like, how would she actually be able to record herself on the battlefield before she got into the mirror? When she got poofed and placed in the mirror, the scenes changed to just silhouettes and darkness, and then she was left staring at the sky from the mirror's perspective until Pearl picked her up.
>>83784462
Why DID she step on that robot?
>>83784986
Actually there's like 10 episodes of build up from when the concept is first officially introduced to when it's finally dealt with. It's treated as a world ending concept. I mean you can only expect so much from 10 minute shows but you can't really pass it off like it was never that big a deal. It's only made worse by the hiatuses and the hyping. I mean how are you going to frame it as a special 4 week event then deal with it in the 1st week.
>>83785208
It was broken and disposable. The Gems are also a type II civilization, on the Kardashev scale. So a single flask robonoid is like a single square of toilet paper is to you.
Apparently being chained to the seafloor for a month or so fucks you up harder than being a mirror for centuries
>>83784577
This makes me glad I waited this long to just watch through the whole show at once.
It also makes me worried about how I will feel about new episodes now that I've caught up.
>>83785264
Welcome to the hiatus, although there's reason to believe that we'll get an announcement on when it'll end sometime this week.
>>83785259
>being raped for a month straight underwater is worse than solitary confinement for a stoic bitch
Yeah this show about rock themed space lesbians is getting too far out
>>83784417
If I had to live with Peridot, I'd be grumpy too. She's just become the most obnoxious character on the show with a nasally high pitched voice that's like nails on a chalkboard.
>>83785314
>for a stoic bitch
She loses her shit over fart jokes, she only a stoic bitch for Peridot, and that's only because Peridot was trying to be nice.
I just want her making farting noises with her mouth again, she and Steven were so adorable in that episode. ;;
>>83785359
So she can get that pissy, she probably stayed that way in the mirror. This is her rehab now
>>83785251
But I don't slowly squeeze my square of toilet paper before I poke it up my bum.
>>83785259
Lapis is a drama queen. You know this.
>>83785314
>Rape
she's the one who decided to do it.
What is it with this show and people protecting their head canon into the characters then claiming it's wrong when the show contradicts it?
I swear to god this is just like the people who bitch about peridot and post the same 2 screenshots every time like it meant something.
she is pretty friendly and sweet for Steven what the hell are you on about?
>>83784577
Holy shit people still think that the Cluster got a permanent solution.
>>83784542
posting dick squad
>>83784417
She went through a lot of shit that would ruin anyone's weekend, it's understandable shes angry and acting like a cunt on purpose. Specially since she has to commune with someone she deeply hates.
>>83785314
>being raped for a month straight underwater
????
>Yeah this show about rock themed space lesbians is getting too far out
Nigga they aren't even real. They don't reproduce either. Fuck outta here with your bum ass ideas.
>>83784417
>>83784462
>>83784913
I like dick squad lapis, she's been through some serious shit so it makes sense that she would be so nonplused and apathetic to pretty much everything that isn't Steven. plus the baseball episode was hilarious precisely because she couldn't give a shit.
>>83786413
>dick squad lapis,
wat
>>83785095
The cluster felt very instrumentality esque. It came off much more creepy than heartwarming with all those personalities mixing together, trapped in a dark hole.
>>83786530 see >>83786266
>>83785259
bro when she was trapped in a mirror for centuries she tried to drown two kids, stole the ocean, and broke a dude's leg
being kinda mean to peridot is small time
>>83786062
It got put in the "we don't have to give a shit about you until we want to" box with centipeedle.
>>83786667
>until we want to
I think you're giving them too much credit. It almost seems like they just forget about all of their problems and hope they go away on their own.
And we've seen how fragile those bubbles can be.
>>83784577
>advancing the plot
The only time shit actually happens is finales. There was never any plot advancement in the first place.
>>83785453
Your toilet paper also doesn't try to go in for cuddles before you stick it up your bum.
>>83786771
>>83785453
>>83785251
What the fuck are we even talking about?
>>83786266
Who knew how accurate this would be?
>>83784577
episode 1-ten minutes of one long shot of garnet's face as she rattles off various facts about gem, let's call it biology, and history
episode 2 and 3-ocean gem and mirror gem happen pretty much the same way
episode 4-marble madness
episode 5 and 6-the return/jailbreak
episode 7-catch and release
episode 8-message received
episode 9 and 10-super watermelon island and gem drill, except they rescue jasper too and steven shoves a nuke into the cluster or something and blows it up
the remaining 60 or so episodes are slice of life featuring the homeworld gems exclusively because those are the only characters you faggots care about for some reason
this would be the show if it were up to /co/.
>>83786266
would fuckI know that it's basically a meme that she's so hateful, but she's still congenial to Steven. She's not so far gone to "lash out at everyone" levels of being a bitch.
>>83786800
Warp Tour. Speculation about Peridot initially started with her being a dom/cold bitch based on how she treated her defective robot.
>>83786922
Yeah, we don't need two Amethysts.
>>83786922same would smash hard enough to fuse diamonds
I don't think its that she's hateful so much as she's just tired of all this shit, with the exception of Steven.
>>83784417
Off topic but when the hell are Steven floats and the rest of those episodes going to air?? (I already saw the french release of steven floats so i don't care about that one).
Anybody planning on adding best gem to their team?
>>83787153
>>83787153
Oh god, it would be a special kind of hell if the Shiny is Pearl's colors.
>>83785264
You learn how the show is written and you just stop caring and accept its fan fiction tier and gay agenda
>>83786555
TRIPS!!!!
>>83787153
Do we STILL not have a pure Flying-type?
I like SU,now garnets mah waifu!
>>83784417
>Hey guys, let's make Lapis Daria
Lapis is a pessimist, not a cynic. Learn the difference, it could save your life.
New episodes when?
>>83788557
later in the summer
hopefully
>>83788385
There's only two: Tornadus and Arceus. Arceus doesn't really count, but fuck it.
>>83787233
fitting
Can Peridot be her Quinn?
>>83787153
>Skill Link
Ooo baby.
>>83785039
...
D-va is literally just wearing a plugsuit, isn't she?
>>83790531
it's just a bit more obvious when you break her suit down into the basic lines
>>83784417
Lapis a shit
Peridot a shit
All the gems barring the original trio are fucking shit and horribly inconsistent.
>>83786413
>nonplused
That word doesn't mean what you think it does.
>>83785095
I'm starting to get an adventure time vibe, where nothing actually happened after the build up and they go back to the status quo (I think I said that right but i'm not sure)
>>83784462
holy shit they're here
>>83784462
>>83785208
>>83785453
>>83786771
Fucking kek
>>83784417
Yes. Yes, it is.
She is unhappy. Let's face it, she just came out of thousands of years of shit. And Earth has done nothing but step on her.
Plus: some people are simply not nice.
Paradoxically I prefer her this way.
>>83784622
...Imagine a brain-damaged toad giving birth to a raven.
I like that Lapis responds differently to each character. She hates the rebels, is fearful/hateful of homeworld gems, and is accepting of her saviorlil'murdercock
She's just falling into one of the harem types. She's the snarky kuudere now.
Unfortunately this is Steven /u/niverse so we're not gonna get any fanservice that isn't scissoring
>>83787153
>that beak
Pls evolve into flying steel
>>83784417
I don't see what the problem is. Lapis has been through some shit. It's reasonable she's going to be kind of bitter when the last several thousand years of her life were spent enduring some kind of torture.
>Daria
I'VE GOT TO BE DIRECT
I'm sure she'll eventually get back to normal and it will be all the sweeter having watched her realistically cope instead of magically snap back.
>>83786266
Is the sauce tumblr? It looks like tumblr
>>83786366
You black?
I want Lapis to interact with the humans more and find happiness there.
>>83784417
I approve of this Lapis. It makes me want to tongue-fuck her mouth pussy while grinding our sweaty palms together while Steven watches.
My name is Peridot and I'm here to discuss the Planet Trade Organization.
Do you hate freedom, life and prosperity? Do you want an overlord ruler who possibly looks like a man and a woman at the same time?
Subscribe to the Planet Trade Organization now, and Yellow Diamond representatives will be there to condemn your life forever soon.
>>83793860
...Yes.
>>83784417
The show has way to many female characters and they are running out of TV tropes.
The future of this show is even more unimaginative.and bleak.
>>83794765
The show is just too obtuse for its own good.
It's fucking hilarious they got beaten to the lesbian punch by the Legend of Korra of all things
>>83794765
>to many female characters
>running out of TV tropes
>>83795163
It's not a race.
>>83795197
Lesbianism is DEFINITELY a race, and SU is going for a second lap while AT is making eyes at the chick at the water booth.
>>83795258
Lesbianism is not a race. Goodness knows I wouldn't mind a show about lesbian off-road racers, but still, there's no prize for doing lesbian stuff first.
>>83795291
Oh it's totally a race.
Korra got the Variety and New York Times article, while Steven Universe has to make due with Salon and Cuckington Post articles
And the gems aren't even -real- lesbians. They're monogendered rocks, KEK.
>>83795317
Yeah, and guess which one gets far better ratings and has become a minor pop culture phenomenon?
If lesbianism is a competition, SU definitely came out on top.
>>83795408
>and has become a minor pop culture phenomenon?
Hahaha, nah. The only thing normies know about Steven Universe is that its fans are all psychos who try to get artists to kill themselves for drawing a fat woman skinny.
>>83789315
this just looks like an earthworm Jim
>>83784417
Will she ever walk the line?
>>83795197
what are you even implying?
Yes, every gem character in SU is trope-y as fuck (maybe with the exception of Pearl)
It's a children's cartoon. Do I need to remind you?
>>83784417
But Daria is likable.
Ahuhuhuhu....blue diarrhea
>>83795862
Every fictional character ever created is trope-y as fuck. A trope is a storytelling convention that's common enough to be notable. You may as well be bitching that Superman or Black Canary are trope-y as fuck.
>It's a children's cartoon.
And? That means nothing in this context.
"It's just water" he said.
"It can't hurt you" he said.
>>83796436
>Every fictional character ever created is trope-y
spotted the pleb
You sound like someone who only watches cartoons and comics made for children
And yes I specifically referred to it as a children's cartoon because it's what the writers themselves used to defend the addressed criticism of poor writing.
>>83796774
Are you trying to look like an idiot? Cause you're doing a great job.
>>83784808
They crawled out using your shoulders
>>83784417
>>83786932
It's interesting, Fan!Peridot is/was ruthless, Real!Peridot is a dork. Fan!Lapis was a delicate waifu, Real!Lapis is mostly withdrawn and snarky (granted it's completely warranted) Makes me wonder what Jasper is actually like.
I like it. It's a nice contrast to the constant happiness, coexist, world peace, sugar and spice of Steven and the crystal gems whilst still making sense to the character itself since her whole character is about an indifferent third party forced to suffer the consequences of a dilemma she wasn't even involved in.
>>83798081
Probably exactly as the show has depicted her, since everyone expects her to be some gentle giant. I want Jasper to be the example that not everyone is a good person.
>>83798347
Yeah, she'll probably stay pro-Homeworld, but I think she'll eventually come to see Steven as a worthy opponent, like she did with Rose
>>83790963
the original definition yes your right it doesn't work. But the informal one works in this context.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/nonplussed
When is the next SU episode?
>>83799570
were not really sure to be honest. although some are speculating their will be an announcement at the end of the week.
>>83799749
As early as right now honestly, but way more likely Thursday-Saturday. Zap2it might update today too, although they're a lot less reliable than they used to be.
>>83784417
Her characterization is "I'm triggered".
>>83785069
And don't forget that when she did finally try to get out of there she left her back, with her gem, exposed WHILE FLYING.
If she couldn't fly, then turning your back and gem to the enemy is understandable, she can probably run faster when facing forwards. But that's not the case; she can fucking fly, and with magic water wings! Shouldn't she have been able to fly while facing backwards, if only for long enough to get out of Woolie's punching range?
She's lucky her gem was only cracked after a direct hit like that.
>>83794765
>tropes
Stopped reading right there
>>83784417
You fail to grasp the concept and character of Daria
>>83784622
Beavis and Butthead, but for pseudo intellectual tumblrinas.
>>83785208
For the same reason she tried to kill Steven right away? He was an obstacle, so he needed to be gotten rid of. Robot was damaged and useless, so it goes too.
>>83800780
This. Hate when people say Daria is just appealing to Tumblrinas. If anything it's lampooning them.
Yes, but the important thing is that...
>>83785039
>Peridot in this outfit
yes
>>83785069
Lapis wasn't telling Steven the truth.
>>83798347
>>83799214
She's going to turn into literally Vegeta but taller
Any more lewd Lapis pics?i use them as my tf2 sprays.
I thought there would be more dirty pics of Lapis in this thread.
>>83805777
Those two were new to me. I'm not complaining the lack of smut.

>>83799358
>But the informal one works in this context.
The informal can suck a dick. It only become the informal definition because a bunch of jackasses wanted to sound smart using words they didn't understand. Irregardless will be law by next year if we go by 'informal' definitions.
What's this shit I've been hearing about Zuke and bees?
