Since Jasper tends to only think of fusion as a way to get stronger and more powerful rather than being with a person that you care about, what do you think Jasper would be like/how do u think she’d change if she fused with someone who actually cared about her and loved her? I’m feeling sappy over her grrrr I want to be domestic w her so bad 😕

so ive been sitting on this ask for however long its been in my inbox. pondering. its such a hard thing for me to speak about bc i essentially have to split my mind to think about it in any capacity

canon jasper? shes doomed. like for me to go forward with that premise there would have to be someone, anyone, who likes her even a little. and they dont! everyone is genuinely ambivalent on if she lives or dies. her own death isnt about her its about stevens mental breakdown and no one is like. hey man i heard you got murdered like a week ago you good?

and its not like. a thing i expect the show to have the capacity to give a shit about. its not her story! im asking for things that she was never made to do. shes not a person, not in the "shes fictional" way, but in that she was made to fulfill an antagonistic role in a story and largely does not have anything going on outside of that. she likes fighting and dislikes weakness. have fun building on that

so in short i dont anyone in canon could love or even like jasper enough to help with her harmful attitude towards utilitarian fusion. and if someone DID i dont think SHED respect them enough for it to work. she fucking sucks its so. excuse me i gotta bludgeon myself

the second half of me is like. okay lets play in the space. i choose the venue and its my stupid ass gemswap, hows THAT jasper dealing with fusion

poorly. lets talk about some of the key players in her life

starting with someone she wholeheartedly respects: blue diamond/holly blue. i dont think their asses are ever fusing

rebecca sugar/other members of the crew have mentioned in passing that jasper has massive self worth issues. she has a giant ass chip on her shoulder about being made in the shit kindergarten on the failed colony where her diamond was shattered. we understand via characters like the homeworld rubys that she IS generally well respected and nobody holds the earth thing against her (at least not openly) but she still holds herself and others to the highest standard, which sucks and is evil and makes her space classist often

i kept her corruption in this au bc i wanted to push that. have her mental idea of herself deteriorate to the point that she cant even go back to homeworld. shes too icky. and with that in mind, she would never think of herself of being someone whos even remotely on a close enough level to holly to even think about fusion, aside from her existing ideas about fusion being "cheating" anyway. i think she feels that holly blue keeping her around was an act of pity and she will always be lesser than

lapis! we all fucking remember this bullshit. the last time i watched alone at sea i had to rewind the scene where she dropped to her knees to beg lapis to fuse to laugh at her longer. i genuinely think her immediate death following that would have been a kindness. girl get the fuck UP

jokes aside we all know how malachite works and why it sucks. theyre both using each other: lapis is taking her anger out on someone after thousands of years of being mistreated and abandoned, jasper is addicted to the feeling of being stronger, it is the entire fucking thing she places her self worth on. god i want to kill her. i cant get over the line "we could fly" bitch YOU could fly lapis doesnt need you for that!!!!! GET SOME SELF RESPECT!!!

anyway i have my own ideas about how malachite happens in this au but its catastrophic, theyre never doing that shit again and they regularly think about it when theyre in proximity of each other. toxic coworker yuri or some shit i hope they walk into the street.

oh yeah uh i do think that they both feel a strange disgusting sort of kinship in this au due to their physical disabilities (jaspers corruption lapis' cracked gem) if anyone ever mentions that they are alike in this sense they both start yelling

next up is peridot. their asses are never fusing i think its #awesome and #based that peridot is fusion asexual or whatever im never changing this. i dont even want to do hypothetical designs with her. also i think they share similar ideas about casual fusion for the most part. if you arent about to die its Icky and Degenerate

as an aside its important to me that all three of them kind of massively suck. their rebellion against the empire has not stopped any of them from going "wait homeworld was right about x social taboo youre a freak if you do that" its funny to me

anyway due to peridots dedicated aversion to fusion i dont think she fully Gets what the fuck malachite was about. from her pov her two teammates jsut kind of went insane for a few months and have been doing a weird hostile stalemate for 5000 years. which is fine by her if they can still do their jobs

as for their personal relationship. i dont like japidot that much but i DO like evil coworkers. like theyre on the same page about something needing to get done, but theyre gonna rip each others heads off about HOW. also i just have a personal opinion about peridot being one of the few people who just casually sidesteps jaspers brusque way of talking. you can call peridot a useless hunk of rock all you want but are you gonna do x or no. theyre comedy gold to me

much like steven, these guys are largely in the dark about what connie can and cant do. shes been raised much more like a human, she goes to school and stays with her dad during the week. sometimes it feels to connie like everyone would be happier if she just stayed a normal kid and never got her powers

jasper is not one of those people. she has been pushing connie to go on missions and fight basically since she could walk. fusion is one of the few things she has very little interest in seeing connie achieve. nobody has explained The Malachite Thing to connie so from her perspective everyone is being really cagey and meanspirited about it

connie cares about all her guardians but. theres definitely an emotional barrier between her and jasper. she doesnt expression casual expression and is very demanding. fusing might give connie insight into jaspers emotional state, but shed also be privy to things she would feel comfortable with, being a 12 year old rooting around in an immortal war vets head

jasper would never consider fusing with her. its Gross. how would that even work shes made out of meat. shes got organs and shit. also way in the back of her mind it would shatter the illusion shes maintained that connie and holly are somehow the same person still

so who does that leave us with. well

steel chair jasper and amethyst. they compel me so bad its not even funny. jasper got a fr foil in that show and she STILL didnt get to be a person it drives me to madness. amethyst calling her sis when she bubbled her. dont TALK to me

anyway jasper being corrupted from the jump in this au connects them in a new and beautiful way. both quartz soldiers made on earth from different kindergartens, one the perfect soldier who eventually forsakes her beloved empire for feeling her corruption was too repulsive to return, the other born much smaller and weaker than her sisters but still tries her hardest to keep up with them to her own detriment

i dont think jasper needs a guy to love her unconditionally. i think she needs a guy on the same toxic grindset as her. beautiful moment of looking in a mirror and going "ew what the fuck is wrong with you." pot meet kettle

in short. jasper is fusing with none of these people until she does some serious work on herself. and then even after she would not fuse with them. the fusion cannot be the character development herself it cant be a magic cure to her shitty fascism brain

I lost everything... but I still hold on to hope ✨

My name is Mo'men, and I’m a young Palestinian who dreamed of a bright future after high school.

Instead of celebrating, I found myself running for my life, escaping bombs, destruction, and fear.😥

Our home was crushed into dust 🏚️. My brother lost his job. My school and my sister’s university turned into shelters for displaced families.

We fought for survival for six long months under bombs and siege, until we finally reached Egypt, carrying nothing but a few plastic bags... and a lot of broken dreams.💔

Today, we have no home, no income, no safe place to call our own.

My father is suffering with severe back pain and can’t work. Medical bills, daily expenses, even the hope of renting a small home—we simply can’t afford it anymore.🥺

But despite everything, I refuse to give up. I still dream of going to university, of rebuilding my life, of standing on my own feet and helping my family.

This is why I need your help.

Even a small donation—£10—could be the light we desperately need right now.🙏🏻🥺

It can help us rent a home, cover urgent medical expenses, and let me chase my dreams again.🙏🏻

Be one of the first to stand with us.

Be the reason hope lives on.
