Ok, it SERIOUSLY pisses me off how TERRIBLY Jasper was treated throughout the entirety of Steven Universe. I mean, I’m not gonna say that Jasper is an innocent party! But did she deserve the awful treatment she was given? HELL NO! She was NEVER given the chance to make anything resembling a positive relationship with ANYONE, never given a chance to work through her trauma, never even given an arc that was done for HER OWN DAMN DEVELOPMENT!
Worse still, she wasn’t even granted NEAR enough screentime by the creators to get any meaningful amount of character development! I checked the SU wiki, and she made a notable (in my opinion) appearance in only about 12 episodes, including Steven Universe: Future! You wanna know how many episodes where she was brought up in conversation without actually showing up? 15. Jasper was mentioned more times than she was actually appeared on the show. Steven Universe had 180 episodes in total (including SU:F) and a whole movie. You’d think that Jasper would’ve been given more time in the spotlight, considering how important she was to a LOT of characters’ developments! (ex: Lapis, Amethyst, and Steven.) I mean, for crying out loud, we had to wait for TWO AND A HALF YEARS for her to make a brief appearance at the end of Change Your Mind!
Like, I get the fact that that SU was never really “about” Jasper. It was mainly about Steven; the clue’s in the name. But even just a few episodes-long side story or a short comic would do! That’s how desperate I am for her to be given something even RESEMBLING closure!
Just, like...is it really so wrong to want my favorite fictional character EVER to have at least gotten a LITTLE more development?
