“I understand your.....apprehension, about the Diamonds. I’m....I’m scared too.” It wasn’t an easy thing for Pearl to admit, but with just Lapis around, it felt a bit safer. After all, what was there to lose? It wasn’t like she was going to make Lapis doubt the cause more than she already did. 

“But rebellions are built on hope, and they thrive on hope. You have to....you have to hold on to what you believe in, no matter what. You have to for what’s worth protecting....”

“Who is worth protecting.....”  Did Lapis have someone like that? She knew they both cared immensely about Steven, but was that enough? He certainly was just as tied to this planet as his mother was, if not more so.

“Once you have that, it’s not so scary anymore.”

    HONESTLY he’s a bit terrified. He does not scream, or cry, or flee in terror--he just STARES, with bated breath as he tries to take in the sheer might of what he just witnessed. Magic is something he is familiar with; Kubo had worked with it all of his life, and in fact it had become imperative to his family’s survival. But water, moving like pillars against the laws of nature--that seemed like something his GRANDFATHER may have once been capable of.      Visibly shook, Kubo’s voice is thick with awe and terror. “ Th-that was...YOU? “ // @marelapis​

the shape-shifted diamond, while relatively still large, held a fluffy white dog in her lithe arms. “so i found this.”

Everything since Steven came back home was... stressful. It felt like every turn left him with a new thing to worry himself sick about, and he genuinely thought Lapis was going to leave forever.

As... selfish as Steven felt he was, he was thankful, nestled in the barn next to Lapis as the television played softly in front of them. Steven didn’t realize how wonderful these moments really were until he thought about- and experienced- losing them.

He took a deep breath, taking the initiative to lean against the blue gem’s side. Part of him felt guilty for...keeping her here, but he couldn’t help his smile and the relief coursing through his veins.

“H-Hey, Lapis? I understand why you wanted to leave, but... I’m glad you decided to stay. I’m sorry about... everything. Just... yeah.”

He really wanted to talk to her, but felt almost awkward going about it. He never knew when things would hit a sensitive chord, or if he were saying the right things. But Lapis deserved an apology, just like the one he gave to Connie; both of them were hurt by his actions.

“I promise everything will be okay, so you don’t have to worry anymore. We’ll keep everyone safe. Are you... okay?”

A blue woman was far from the strangest thing she’d seen that week, but it was still something new for Dr. Wong. Nonetheless, she invited the unusual woman into her office, and took a seat in her big brown chair before gesturing toward the adjacent sofa.

“Lapis Lazuli, right? Please, have a seat. What brings you here today?”

Send me a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion (Still Accepting)

DISCLAIMER: This is purely my opinion and if you happen to use this trope in your RP, this does not in any way mean I think you’re bad, or whatever. This is a general statement not directed at anyone in particular. 

I kind of think complicated abusive parents are seriously under-done and a LOT more interesting than Abusive™ parents that I see ad nauseam in all media. You know the ones – flat written parents who clearly just see their child as a thing and “love” them to that extent because they’re?? Bonus points if they are unnecessarily physically abusive for extra drama. I dunno, it’s just overdone and it bores me.  I want to see people explore the other, equally common (if not more so) side of abusive parents. I want to see genuinely well-meaning parents who fuck up, and no, I don’t just mean “well I thought tough love would work!” or “my dad did this to me and I turned out OK!”, or some throw-away excuse like that. I mean really delve into the minds of these guys, delve into them until it’s uncomfortable becasue you can kind of see where they are coming from until you get back out of their heads and remind yourself that the ends don’t always justify the means.

“... Purple?”

Peridot didn’t know if she was just looking too far in to it, but she could have sworn Lapis’ question had a double meaning to it. Had Lapis caught on to how she felt about Amethyst...? She’d thought she’d been doing well enough to hide her feelings, but it was starting to look like she couldn’t fool her roommate.

“I’m... rather fond of purple,” she admitted, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. “How did you know?”
