This episode is fantastic, but that only makes how Lapis' arc ends after this bother me more. She was unambiguously at her lowest point here. This would've been the perfect set-up for her to finally understand that as much as she wants to be free, she ironically kept imprisoning herself by isolating herself and letting her fear control her in order to avoid another traumatizing event. That she may have escaped the mirror, but she was still trapped. Yet rather than acknowledge that, she ultimately ends up joining the Crystal Gems because she feels like since she'll be persecuted anyways, she might as well be with the people she actually wants to be around. Not only does that completely ignore her past development, it doesn't feel natural because we don't see her apologize to Peridot, or make peace with the Gems, who KNOWINGLY kept her imprisoned in the mirror for years.

Kinda makes me wish we got to see something that took place inbetween this and Reunited, just so we could see more into why she decided to come back in the first place.

@@twindrill2852 oh man if they ever wanted to do a new steven universe project it should just be a bunch of one shots tying up these loose character threads, give us more on peridot beyond her single character arc, give us an actual conclusion to lapis, elaborate more on Amethyst and Greg because seriously what the fuck you cannot just do the things that episode did a single time and then never bring it up again

I genuinely think this was because SU got canceled for having a gay wedding :( we probably would have seen a resolution if they had more episodes to wrap up

@@kelpo6304 yeah likely, and they just didnt have time to work on it in the movie so she got an episode in future. But its not everything I would've wanted

Most of the 2010s era shows are gonna comeback with new projects so that may boost this channel and the other cartoon channels

Lapis Lazuli really deserved more screentime, such an amazing character that was not done justice

More Lapis analysis, hell yeah. This episode feels like it was written to set up the last part of Lapis' character arc that we never got because of the early cancellation. Imagine how much harder the "I've felt worse" mic drop would've hit if we got to see that final part of her arc.

2:16 Damn, i know it sounds bad but it's true🤧 lapis' introduction was amazing and made her so intriguing as a character, but the more we got to know her, the more she became less interesting and lost her spark. Not to say that she has to be miserable to be a good character but her challenges on earth should've included adapting to the crystal gems. We could've had an episode with her and garnet about her fusion trauma, one with amethyst about their relationship with jasper and the last with pearl and her resentment for putting her in her gem.

The absolute least important part of this episode at the start where Steven gets woken up is one of my favorite SU moments. Steven just being so done with Ronaldo, sighing "it doesn't look like a barn" never stops making me laugh. Also "can't you ask Nana Fua?" NOT :) A FOURTH TIME :)"

@caitrose2198 2 ай бұрын

the delivery of 'not a fourth time' from ronaldo's VA kills me every single time, most underrated joke in the show imo

Lapis is a great character, I did wish we got to see the moment when Lapis decided to come back to Earth since her having to fight her instinct to flee from trauma is such a vital part of her story

Here for the inevitable "in defence of Ronaldo" video. I showed SU to my partner last year and while we watched it, I explained what watching the show in real time was like. So I found the crewniverse post about Bloodstone before we watched it so he could feel the Fandoms pain when we found out it was Ronaldo's gemsona 😂

"-and then go help Sour Cream go reinvent Dupstep or something" Look, I was a fan of the town episodes more than most, but DANG IT if that's not how it felt sometimes while the show was airing

I really enjoy Distant Shores. Seeing Lapis deal with her insecurities in the worst way possible is just so her.

this is probably one of my favourite episodes of the entire show. lapis is by far my favourite character. I love that all her songs have some through line of colours.

That Distant Shore is probably in my top 3 favorite Steven Universe songs. Lapis's arc is so relatable and important to me on a personal level. Thanks for doing her story justice, great work as always!

That really hits home. I was surrounded by toxic friends and family for the longest time. During the pandemic I cut those people out of my life. And for YEARS I felt off because no one was going out of their way to abuse me anymore. I remember telling my partner "I feel guilty and I don't know why. I just feel like someone should be calling me a piece of sh*t or something horrible." And I would feel like that for though out the day... everyday. I still feel it every once in a while but it isn't nearly this bad anymore. All of this is to say, if you recently let go of toxic people, it's normal to feel that way. It takes a long time to recover from abuse and that's ok. Being away from the toxic people is the first and most important step! Remember, you deserve respect and BOUNDARIES.

Hi just stepping In here because I have a lot to say about this episode but I'm going to keep it to one moment to keep this comment short Lapis is my favorite character in the cast and I feel like her biggest problem is that we didn't get enough time with her bonding with all the gems it makes moments like her missing the gang adorably sad but also kinda unearned I love the shot where she pretends to sit with the gems and her and stevens conversation after the song about how they all should hang out more like all 6 of them but 1 that never really happens and 2 aside from gem harvest and the ruby's episode lapis should have had more time with the gems for this moment to really work but again love this episode overall love lapis and love this video thanks sorry if this was long I get passionate about lapis lol

dude I remember when this episode aired I couldnt watch it live, so I recorded it (ahhh cable television) and watched it the next morning while I was eating and getting ready for school. my parents just had to watch me lose my mind at 7am over silly lesbian gem cartoon. that's a fun memory.
