i think my main issue with returning to this blog (and fandom by extension) is that i didnt really like or understand the finale that aired a month ago. well that, and most of the plot development leading up to it. i got majorly knocked out of my enjoyment for the entity as a whole.

but ive got 1k+ followers on here, so... maybe ill pick up precorruption jaspy again in the future. i think people like me writing her, anyhow.

but should i come back

If you follow me closely you may notice that I uploaded a comic called PLAGUE.  Well that comic originally started out as an indie game I’m working on in RPG Maker VX Ace. I’ve had the concept since 2013, and I decided to bring it to life recently. I want it to be a fundamentally short horror game based on the era that the plague began - the early 1300’s.  I’ve been working to make it as historically accurate as I can within the bounds of fiction.

I have always been fascinated with plague doctors as historical beings and I know a great deal about them. I want to try and approach who exactly they were with a little more truth to the content of their character and a little less sensationalism.  A lot of people make them a big presence in all things dark and macabre, but I feel there is more to both them and their time period than that.   The medieval days provide their own sense of horror, the horror of the truth,of humanities’ barbaric tendencies and I feel that alone is enough to warrant a fascinating horror game as a result. The game will be short, as my script for it is a mere 27 chapter story I have written, but there will be extra content to lengthen it a bit.

During the game you will play as a girl who lives with her mother and aspires to be a plague doctor in a town full of dark secrets. As you venture through the game you will come across events that can change the course if you so choose them to. It will be an introspective look at the times, and rely on choices. As a result there will be multiple endings depending on the path you take. I hope it’ll make people look at this era in a slightly different way than what media portrays it as.

“ok but jasper forced lapis to fuse and stayed fused so she’s BAD!!!”

Wrong, bitch!!!!

The most force Jasper used at all on Lapis was here:

Which YEAH, that’s shitty, don’t fuckin’ yank people around what the fuck dude. She deserved to have her ass beat and be poofed and bubbled probably, but not what happened next.

After she pulls Lapis down, she *asks* Lapis to fuse with her. She goes on to offer her the chance to get revenge on the Crystal Gems who, quite literally, kept Lapis prisoner in the mirror for thousands of years. That shit wasn’t Jasper’s doing at all. They KNEW Lapis was in there and the whole time Steven was trying to help Lapis escape, the CGs were trying to stop him. Like, it’d be kind of valid to ask “hey do you wanna get revenge on these nerds?”

And then she waited for Lapis to CHOOSE to fuse. She didn’t force her. Lapis held her hand out first. 

They fused. Then Lapis took over, making it clear she didn’t want to use the fusion to attack the CGs but instead to hold get revenge on literally anyone by doing what she does best, isolating and continuing to torment herself. Like she did leaving to the moon and shit.

As Malachite is being dragged under, with water cuffs and chains, which is.. Lapis, you can SEE Jasper trying to unfuse while she’s screaming and saying “no”. 

And then later, hey, look, Jasper’s STILL cuffed, arms and legs, chained to Lapis’s hands. Note that Lapis isn’t cuffed, it’s literally like a ball and chain with Lapis being the ball.  People like to say “well Lapis was just trying to protect Steven” like no, she wasn’t. She made it clear over and over she was doing this for herself, for revenge, and Steven knew it wasn’t healthy or good at all for either of them. If she wanted to help, she would have 1. taken Jasper down herself because she’s OP as fuck and literally could easily just do that or 2. Let the CGs beat the shit out of Jasper instead of fusing, cuz at that point they literally could take her.  Like, I genuinely love Lapis. I love her as a character, I love her story and her flaws. But it’s so reductive to her character to ignore that she was the one doing this to Jasper, not the other way around. Jasper deserved to have her ass kicked, not to be physically and psychologically tormented for months in a forced fusion lmao. That makes the story interesting and storywise I’m glad it happened! But I fuckin’ hate how some fans just. Completely misinterpreted it.

Just because someone’s Big and Mean doesn’t mean that when shit hits the fan they were the cause and the one in control.

no-ones-pearl:

Pearl knew exactly what this was…

Corruption.

But how? How did Jasper manage to get corrupted?

That didn’t matter right now! It was spreading quickly and if she didn’t do something then Jasper would meet the same fate as gems like Centipeedle.  Think Pearl, think! There had to be a way to stop this! There just had to!

Her heart raced in her chest as her mind tried frantically to find an answer.  She watched in horror as spikes slowly protruded from Jasper’s form, growing through her like some demented, life-sapping parasite.  It was painful to watch, especially to someone she had gotten to know so well.

She hated it.

She hated this.

She was losing another person who meant the world to her again…and it ate her alive.

“You know I was never good at relaxing…” Her voice shook with emotion as she felt herself on the verge of tears. “Jasper we can help you.  I can go get Steven.  He’ll know what to do!”

At least she hoped he would.

She felt her form begin to slowly warp, and her body began for feel strangely alien to her. Like she was wrapped in a cascading and ever-changing wall of light.

The physical pain had subsided long ago, but the mental struggle was only beginning. 

Jasper still spoke despite the newfound confusion that was cast over her psyche.

“I don’t want his help... I don’t need it...”

She attempted to sit up, the immense effort it took causing her to quiver from the strain alone that it put on her. Pausing in her struggle she looked back to Pearl, guiding her hand to the other gem’s cheek. That hand was near unidentifiable now, as it was tipped with long claws and adorned with the sickly green that had only spread more and more.

“Just don’t... leave.”

"I feel so cold." — jasperial (better do this w jasper as shes corrupting. give me angst)

Before her eyes, the one gem who had always toted herself asstrong, unbreakable in the eyes of everyone was twisting and distorting beforeher.  The once strong gem, the decoratedwar hero, the brutal fighting force was slowly being overcome with greenspikes, twisting and contorting…just like those who had suffered the diamond’swrath on that fated day…

The day that she would never forget.

The day that she couldn’t forget no matter how much shetried to purge it into the darkest depths of her mind.

Pearl felt helpless to do anything.  What COULD she even do at a moment likethis?  No one even knew how to healcorruption.  Even if she wanted to, therewas no way to stop this.  Jasper wasdoomed to the same fate as gems like Centipeedle, and there was nothing shecould do about it.

Once again, she was useless.

Once again, nothing more than a bystander, too weak to aidsomeone she had grown fond of.  

Once again, someone she cared deeply about was slipping fromher arms.

“Jasper!” Pearl wailed in a burst of emotion.  Panic ran through her as she desperatelytried to assess the situation at hand.

[jasperial]

Jasper had felt as if she had been violently struck out of her daze by Pearl’s voice alone, and flinched hard. Once she did, though, she realized the realities of her current situation.

Her sitting on the floor, mourning things she could never change.

She attempted to wipe away the tears with her palm, trying to banish those thoughts at the same time. She couldn’t be seen like this, not in front of Pearl. Jasper had to be strong for her.

After a moment she turned to face the other.

“No, no, I... its fine.”

Tears (paying you back for that corruption thread arsehole)

It was all too much.

Knowing who Pink Diamond was… knowing what she had done…

It hammered at Jasper every second of the day. She had never been loved, never been worth anything to the Diamond that meant the world to Jasper.

Being with Pearl made the thoughts cease, but when she was alone… they came back in swarms. She wondered if there was a point to her at all. Jasper had always grasped desperately for some semblance of purpose for her whole life.

What was there now?

It made her miserable knowing she fell apart whenever Pearl had to take care of something. Pathetic and weak. She barely noticed when the tears began to stream down her face.

WE DO IT

wxterwitchlapis:

Lapis let out a tiny gasp as the larger gem gripped her shoulders, her hold admittedly rather painful for her. She should have expected Jasper to keep trying after she attempted to shut her down. But her reaction only managed to upset Lapis further, which she assumed wasn’t all that surprising. 

She reached up to roughly grab Jasper’s wrists, digging the ends of her fingers into her bronze skin.

[ ::💧:: ]  “Don’t you get it? I don’t need to be with you. I don’t WANT to be with you anymore! You can’t disappear for a few months and suddenly show up and say you’re completely fixed! Something is… Wrong, with you…. And with me. Being together isn’t good for either of us. You CAN’T help me. No one can.”

[ ::💧:: ]  “All you gems keep acting like you know me… You DON’T know me! Not at ALL.”

“Maybe... maybe I don’t know how you think, but I know what you can DO.”

Jasper was beginning to get frustrated, but she was far from giving up on Lapis and leaving. Her expression quickly turned bitter, and her grip only tightened despite the other gem’s resistance.

“WHY? How can you just... move on so easily?! Something is wrong with YOU. You should feel like this too.”

[jasperial]

almcstgold:

When Jasper made even the slightest move towards her, the Pearl backed up away from her til her back was against the wall. It was looking to her as if she had only been saved from one quartz to be used by another. Calcite’s words that she shouldn’t fight echoed back to Honey, but this a perfectly formed Jasper and there was no telling what she’d do to a gem that wasn’t even properly made.

“I-I don’t want to make any t-trouble.” The pearl stammered as she reached for the now glowing gem in her chest. She could put up a fight if she had to, but only as an absolute last resort. “I d-don’t want to h-hurt you….”

“Clearly you didn’t listen when I said I don’t play around with Pearls. You’re WELCOME.”

Jasper was irritated already, and the fact that a Pearl threatened her with violence was almost laughable.

“What can you even do?”
