    This is fantastic! Also gives two things I wish the show had: a Jasper song, and her and Amethyst having some interactions that don't involve punching each other XD

    • @goyavoyage

      There are two *very* brief scenes in which Amethyst says "sis" to Jasper, one when she bubbles her gem after their fight at the end of season 3, and one, non-dubbed but with her lips forming the words, at the end of season 5 when Jasper is unbubbled and uncorrupted, while the "We are the Crystal Gems" reprise is sung. Buuuut yeah this video gave us more sisterhood and I'm here for this :D :D

    I love how the song speaks of purpose, the thing Jasper struggled with the most, especially flashing Steven when the lyrics "I think about my purpose...can I somehow preserve this?" Echoing her purpose with pink! Amazing work!!

    @kayleighdriessen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +121

    I think this even fits better with Mirabel sounding a lot like Amethyst in some voice-lines
    Edit: Personally I even at times found Luisa sounding similair to Garnet, like at "Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa-oh
    Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh-oh"

    OKAY NOW THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY UNDERRATED
    Every single frame is so well-thought out, and the quality of the references are just *chef’s kiss*
    Honestly, I especially liked how Jasper literally went *under the surface* of the water when that line was said at 1:40, and how each of the hexagon walls bumping into jasper was timed perfectly with the boulders falling in the original scene at 2:44.
    Jasper was such a good choice for this song and all the scenes fit in with lyrics perfectly.
    I could honestly just write an entire essay about this, it’s just amazing, seriously.

    Oh my stars. I just saw Encanto and was looking for a video like this, expecting a Garnet AMV or something.
    But this is. This is so much more. This fits Jasper so PERFECTLY. Kudos to you for, for all this, for illustrating all of her struggles and point of view so amazingly, and for painting this messy sisterhood with Amethyst (faintly evoked in the show).
    Also the presence of Lapis during the underwater mention was a stellar move.

  • @rainymars_
    @rainymars_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Oh fuck yes someone who realizes how absolutely terrible Jasper's had it. I'm all for Jasper being the big bad villain but like. She came out completely perfect and was expected to uphold that 24/7, even by the Ruby Squad when Amethyst pretended to be her. She actively paused and faltered when first hit by Amethyst's whip, and judging by the fact that Holly Blue has an electric whip... Yeah some dots can be connected. I don't think a weapon defines a Gem but Jasper's weapon is defense at it's base, she had to find out ways to use it offensively, and as shown in canon prefers to use the Quartz Spinny Ball, Gem Destabilizers, or in Malachite tends to use Lapis's water control (and turning it to ice which is a neat combo). While I love Lapis, she was an absolute *asshole* to Jasper while Malachite was formed, as you showed. Her diamond was the person Jasper was expected to take down. Jasper is the *first* true on-screen shattering ever seen.

    • @rainymars_
      @rainymars_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Let's be real all the shown Quartzes are fucked up (Famethyst, Amethyst, Jasper, Skinny Jasper, Carnelian, Ect.) but they were also made on Earth during/around/after in Amethyst's case the war so yea-

    • @Zenniiiiiii

      Yeah just imagine being basically tied up and constantly in a state of drowning and fighting for MONTHS if I recall, desperately struggling to get control and when you finally do you get it for a few seconds at best before being drowned again.

    @cartoonkatzenjammer3424 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, this was SO AMAZING! And it really made me realize that...Amethyst was LUCKY she came out of the ground after the war. If she had come out earlier she would've either been bubbled for centuries like the Rose Quartzes, or forced to serve Blue or Yellow Diamond, both of which probably BLAME Pink's gems for not protecting her properly. And Jasper has it worst of all because she's always been revered as a perfect, powerful specimen. So she probably took a brunt of blame from the Diamonds herself, especially from Yellow, and internalized all that as failure on her very existence.

    the moment she fuses with lapis foward I couldn't hold my hype, this is SO GOOD and so underrated, I LOVED the transitions like in "under the surface" (when she fuses) and when Steven breaks her, you did an amazing job! It is probably one of my favorite animatics as concept!!!
    the lines also works very well!! The expressions??? So vivid!! You've made the song fit perfectly with everything!! I loved every moment and every detail!

    @EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Oh, so I’m not the ONLY one who had the idea for a Jasper animatic after hearing this song…
    Here’s what my version would be like:
    CONTEXT: This is part of my post-Future AU focused on Jasper’s rehabilitation, Steven’s continued healing, and Emerald becoming the next big bad. At this point in the story, Jasper has saved Amethyst from being shattered by a drone created by Emerald, but Ames ends up getting poofed. Shortly after reforming, Amethyst goes to check on Jasper and the song happens.
    The animatic itself would visualize Jasper’s insecurities and angst similarly to what was done here, but instead of just her memories of getting her butt whooped, there are moments where she “hijacks” significant scenes from the series’s past (for example, instead of Amethyst getting bleached by White Diamond, Jasper shoves A out of the way and takes the hit).
