Little bit of an addendum after uploading this; A lot of people have been saying that Peridot is actually aroace, aka asexual and aromantic. It was confirmed in a crewniverse tweet that I had never seen before. If I offended anyone with that factual error, I apologize. Admitted mistake. ^^ Honestly, the script probably could have used another rewrite and re-edit since I imply a lot of romantic things when looking back, I was actually going more for "really close friends." ^^; Heck, the first thing I mention is how they became "the closest of friends" and even compare it to Amethyst and Steven. Shipping isn't always romantic after all. Same with fusion! Overall, hope you can at least enjoy a dive into the development of their relationship and the lessons I think they learned. :) I'll be more careful next time. ^^
Honestly I still enjoyed the video and it was an honest mistake. And that’s the purpose, entertainment.. Unless you had a different one then I’m sorry for assuming. Also love ur channel
It's alright, if they fuse as friends I'm totally cool with it, lol. But, I'm a bit scared that lapis won't like to fuse with peridot, at least in near future, because in her last song she clearly said "fusion is a prison too" or a line similar to this. Maybe it will play as the last fear she'll have to face and maybe fusing with peridot is her fighting and beating the ass of her fear, but I don't know.. The last 3 episodes will be mostly centered on steven and how he will probably corrupt and the way they will bring him back (I hope...), sooo, yeah, if it didn't happen in "reunited" I kinda think it won't happen again...but I still hope I'm wrong.
I have a feeling that maybe they won't fuse because Lapis is kind of afraid of fusion? She said that fusion was a prison, like the mirror, in her song in Why So Blue. So after Malachite, maybe she doesn't like fusion so she won't do it with anyone.
I really do appreciate you not sugarcoating Lapis' behavior towards Peridot in the beginning. It's actually refreshing how your unrelenting positivity doesn't come at the cost of treating serious subjects with appropriate gravity.
Also, if you look at the background of Little Homeworld, you can see Lapis and Peridot’s houses (they’re right next to Bismuth’s forge). Their houses are right next to each other and reflect each of their personalities.
@@mahliwowe well it seems like it, since they're next to bismuth's forge, and peridot's house is literally shaped like her head, and the one next to it is blue and it looks like a place where lapis would live. (imo)
Maybe they do a their own "fusion" of sorts. Not in the traditional sense like Garnet or Stevonnie. Maybe Peridot will ride on Lapis's back like Steven did.
Peridot never seems to use metal objects as weapons when she's flying on her trash can lid, so maybe she can't do both at the same time? In which case Lapis could help, and they could do aerial bombardment.
Honestly it would have been amazing to see a gem relationship flourish without fusion. Lapis and Peridot could have been a perfect example that not all gem relationships require fusion to be legitimate. It would have also shown that there are many reasons not to fuse whether it is past trauma (Lapis) or just not being comfortable with it (Peridot). As the video says it would have been nice to see them reunite in a more meaningful way, because their relationship has definitely seen a lot of growth. (Sorry if my english is bad, it is not my first language)

I love the relationship between Lapis and Peridot, every scene they share is great especially watching Camp Pining Hearts and creating their meep morps.

Top 3 Fusions I want to see (& My Name idea for them), even if its only in comics or side lore after Future. 3. Pearl & Bismuth (Ammolite) [Idea by Edgy Child] 2. Yellow Diamond & Blue Diamond (Green Diamond) 1. Peridot & Lapis *(Turquoise)*
What if Steven does get corrupted (which he more than likely will at this point.) and Lapis and Peridot have to fuse to help save Steven or somethin' like that. Edit : Okay my own theory made me think of something. Peridot: WE GOTTA FUSE TO SAVE STEVEN. Lapis : Where? Peridot : HERE Lapis : When? Peridot : NOW Lapis : Why? Peridot : W H A T I'm sorry, but it just made me think of that isle of dogs scene--
See, I like to think Peridot isn't able to fuse due to being a later era Peridot. She was told she didn't have any powers, and it came as a surprise she even had metallic kinesis powers. So maybe Peridot just can't? Or doesn't want to, perhaps. I can't see Lapis wanting to fuse either after her song in Future mentioning that fusion made her feel trapped and she just doesn't like it. EDIT: What I mean by the Era 2 comment is that maybe Era 2 Peridots were not meant to fuse, and it is physically not programmed into their gems. Other Era 2 Gems can indeed fuse, yes, but perhaps that's the reason Peridot needs limb enhancers.
I can understand your lapis argument but it's hinted at aquamarine being era 2 (she's described as young, has to use an enhanced/is quite small/ we see a gem outline in garnets story that could be a bigger era 1 aquamarine) and she fuses with eyeball but of course this is just speculation
@And I- Yes that's true, but perhaps an Era 2 Peridot cannot fuse. It wouldn't make sense to give her limb enhancers and the such if she could just fuse with other Peridots to become a bigger one.
@@revival9313 Well that's Steven fusing with Connie. The fact that he's half human gives somewhat of an excuse to him fusing with humans. And ignoring it might have just been a sloppy attempt, Greg and Rose couldn't fuse.
@@galacticam2000 I think Peridots use limb enhancers instead of fusing because they aren't meant for combat, which is why they sent Jasper as her bodyguard. Fusion seems like it would only be used in cases to enhance physical fighting strength, and to trap people like what Topaz does. But, Peridot's are used for their mind.
This ship got me INTO Steven Universe! (Along with walking in on my sister watching Jailbreak during Stronger Than You) But still! One of my earliest memories of Steven Universe discussion was at school with my friends at breakfast trying to figure out the ship name. (I came up with Peripis! 🤣)
I think it’s important for lapis to be her own person. If she does fuse, I think only Steven and Peridot would be who should would fuse with. I think Peridot would be her much needed leap of faith to help Peridot and Steven is literally the only person she trusts.
Yay, you didn't hate on stevnel! :D i'm all for multishipping, so It's really nice to see people who respect different ships even if they don't personally love it. Thanks for being so cool man! Always loving your channel and analysis :3 (sorry if bad english)
Exactly! I ship Pearl for example with Rose/Pink, Mystery Girl, Bismuth, and sort of with Volley. Peridot is cute with Amethyst and sort of with Pearl, also with Bismuth too, I like Lapamedot and Lapismudot as well, and although I don't ship Stevinel the hate is super annoying, it's not okay to harass people like that, yknow?
@@dalila2442 Yeah same. I ship Pearl with Lapis as well, and somewhat with Peridot. Both of the ships don't really make all too much sense but they are cute.
I know what you mean... but think about it. They ENDED a ship. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ONES, so why do it to another? There isn't any reason. But if they're friends...
unlikely, gems are different though. lars and sadie had separate paths and grew apart while lapis and peridot are crystal gems following a similar path developing little homeschool
I feel like most people have forgotten that Peridot is an Era 2 gem. In the episode where Peridot discovers her metal powers, she states that “Gems aren’t being made like they used to”. In that episode we find out that Peridot can’t shape-shift at all. She says that homeworld is running out of resources and gems are being given intellectual advantages instead of physical advantages (like shape shifting). BECAUSE OF THIS, she cannot fuse. As stated above, Era 2 gems are being made differently than Era 1 gems. Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Bismuth, Lapis, Jasper are all Era 1 gems meaning they can shape shift and fuse. Peridot is an Era 2 gem that cannot fuse because the “DNA” of the gem is modified to use less resources on home world. Which means that we will not get a Lapidot fusion. I could be wrong; I could be right, but this is my theory.
I love steven universe, but with both peridot and lapis being my favorite characters, it infuriated me that they NEVER, did anything with them when Lapis came back, I dont even know if there's a single SCENE of them talking in future, so much potential with two great characters, just to be thrown away, and to add onto that, they are literally the BEST charters to fuse with each other, with both of them having strange feelings towards fusion, like how peridot was made to believe fusion was "wrong" as soon as she emerged, and lapis's history of being fused with jasper, it would have shown how much they've changed, and genuinely cared about each other, all this potential, just to be thrown away.
19:18 What if lapis says to peridot ''Well find him together'' cuz peridot is worried how will they find steven and lapis winn say to her that they would find him together and lapis fuses with peidot!!!!
@@exoticgreens9512 No she didn't. The book was about fusion. Platonic/Romantic/ Unhealthy fusions were the focus of the book. Peridot "didn't want to fuse." It literally had nothing to do with sex or sexual attraction in her case. It was just teaching its okay to not want to do something.
If Lapidot ever did come true, it'd be after a very long time. Maybe even long after Steven is gone. Lapis went through HORRIBLE trauma relating to fusion. I really think time is the answer to this. Even then, it might just be as friends and nothing more. Lapidot is a very mixed opinion in the SU community. We more than likely won't see them on screen ever again, but you can always think of your own happily ever afters.
9:55 thank you thank you thank you for putting words into my mouth well the whole section really about peridot making a sorta safe space for lapis is like what my mom did with me kept the secret of my biological father away from me for 12 years I felt hurt and still am from it thank you
Lapis: *getting cracked easily by getting stepped on* Peridot: *litterally has been crushed by 100 rocks that came out on nowhere and never poofed or cracked once*
I think they work really well as a close platonic relationship. I wouldn't have been opposed to a romantic ship, but I think that what they did was better. Besides, they're two of my favorite characters, and seeing them as close friends is great.
Nobody gonna talk about how not a SINGLE moment of these two together would happen if it wasn't for Steven?? (I mean, the show's point was to focus on Steven and how good of a person he is for helping and Lapis and Peridot and everybody else but still-)
I have a theory about the finale, I think steven will corrupt and destroy things, and unable to heal him, he ends up being stuck where he can't hurt anyone and locked away. But his friends still come and visit and tell him all the stuff they've been doing, and eventually he uncorrupts, but only after a few years- idk, it might happen, it might not, but if it does happen it would be a way to have a montage of things that happened while he was corrupted, the future he missed.
I want to paint you a picture. Lapis and Peridot finally see each other again. They both smile and Peridot runs towards Lapis. They come together and glow. (Steven shows an exited grin) and after a second, it falls apart. Period is looking around confused. Lapis is shaking, and she looks scared. Peridot walks over to lapis and lapis says, “I’m sorry, I’m just not ready for fusion again.” Period says, “It’s okay, we could try again later,” lapis looks concerned, “or not... we can still be together, just not like that,” period says. “Yeah,” lapis says. Period grins and says, “welcome back.”
I respect the video's ideas, but Lapidot is a maybe not for me and Future just clinches it. I feel like ever since Lapis returned from the moon, something changed in Peridot. I honestly feel like she distanced herself from Lapis. They haven't interacted at all in Future. Not even to watch the Camp Pining Hearts reboot. A continuation of a show they bonded over greatly before. They both seem happy imo, so I count it as a lesson that you shouldn't have to hide who you are to please your partner. Peridot was obviously uncomfortable tiptoeing constantly and Lapis honestly wasn't recieving the encouragement she needed because of it.
I think it was pretty lazy lmao, like Lapis returned from the moon and after all the time they spend together it was like...nothing happened lmao. Man like where is Pumpkin? Idk it just seems like lazy to me. Lapis returned from the moon and they didn't even talked about it...and honestly the aro/ace thing sounds like bs to me, like just an excuse.
@@bluespectrum1348 It is really weird right? Like they never explored her being aro in the show at all and then just didn't address her relationship with Lapis. Its lazy writing. One of the reason future was so disappointing.
While a fusion between the 2 of them is not out of the question ,considering that one of the storyboard artists pretty much said that Peridot is not interested in romantic relationship(being aromantic) I doubt that Lapidot is gonna happen...then again, storyboard artists have proven to be unreliable in the past so take this with a grain of salt.
Ahhh dude. Thank you for this. Your idea for how it should have gone in Reunited is, well it’s how I wished it would’ve gone. I just finished watching the finale, and although I’m not surprised, I’m still disappointed...it’s like they went out of their way to keep these two from having their moment. Even in an interview with Rebecca sugar before the movie came out, when asked if they would fuse, her response was “give them time.” I feel led tf on! Anyway, this video soothed my wounds a bit lol
I ship it so much, but it’s kind of also a mother daughter relationship in a way, as you said: Peridot acting like an overprotective parent, sheltering Lapis from anything that could supposedly hurt her and sheltering her from change, but when Lapis leaves home (or in her case, with the home) it shows that peridot can no longer shelter her.
Great analysis! I agree with a lot of the things you brought up. I feel LapiDot had a LOT of potential but was definitely handled badly. Personally I miss the times when it was a complete crackship xD and im still kinda bummed that we didnt get more of Peri, Lapis and Jasper as a villain team before redemptions had to happen left and right
I don't like it. I think they're better as friends, especially since I don't even like Lapis cause I think she's a bit jerky. However, I can appreciate the wonderful fanart and fanfiction from people like Dement09, they're really talented and cool even if I don't like the ship their awesome art comes from.
I remember when Lauren zuke(former story boarder) was trying to make Lapidot canon, and the shipping wars with Lapidot and amedot was during its peak, they were attacked by the fans and that made em quit story boarding for the show They prolly choose to make peri ace so that the war doesn't re ignite again for choosing any sides for the ship it's too risky for it to happen again - AlthoughtI think I saw a post from CN with "which is your favourite ship" and Lapidot was there so 👀-
What if Lapis asks Peridot to fuse maybe when Steven gets corrupted. I know, Lapis feels trapped in fusion, but she'll do anything for Steven. This is just a theory and i don't think it's going to come true, but we'll see :-)

I doubt think that they will ever fuse. But, maybe well get to see something in a montage and the end of the series. I dont think that well have enough time in the next 3 episodes so, hopefully a montage moment of them?
I still remember when I first heard of this ship and that was long before the two even had a proper interaction. Besides… *cough cough* you know… anyway. I didn’t really hate it. I thought it was kinda cute in a sense, but I was in the corner where if it became a thing then it did, if it didn’t then it just didn’t. Then I saw the episode where lapis flew with Steven around a bit where in the end she choose to see the barn and peridot then walked into screen. I thought “alright, this is the moment to see where this will go” and it went better then I expected as the ship kinda came true. Not in the way the fandom expected but I was fine with it. It was one of the cutest things to come form the show.
I remember hearing that one of the crew members of the show wanted to create lapidot and tried to force it into the story but rebecca sugar fired them because she didn't like it? I don't remember exactly, but I encourage others to look into it more, because I might be wrong (or maybe not).
Nah I don't think they were fired for that reason. After boarding the episode barn mates they were harassed off twitter and quit the show for mental health.
They probably thought abt making lapidot canon since the things you said on video, but i think they didn't because it was hard to convince cartoon network to let them make a sapphic wedding scene and another sapphic fusion that made with love could've be an issue for Rebecca and the team(if i gave any wrong information please let me know)

Peridot : HERE
Lapis : When?
Peridot : NOW
Lapis : Why?
Peridot : W H A T
I'm sorry, but it just made me think of that isle of dogs scene--
Interesting Idea Last Storm 1 / 2
So funny
sadly this didnt happen
it is an interestig idea but that would ruin the center of attention for Steven and it went to them which shouldnt happen
I was actually hoping something like this would happen but it didnt😥😭
IM CRYING SO HARD CAUSE STEVEN UNIVERSE ENDED AND THEY NEVER FUSED AND THERE GOT LIKE ALMOST NO SCREEN TIME TOGETHER IN STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE!!!!!
When pink pearl has had a fusion, when bismuth and peridot haven’t ever in the series, that’s just a little weird
Am I the only one worried on how people are shipping Steven and spinel
Legit those kind of people need to go die, lmao
Fr tho
I’m really concerned for those people
Rhodonite Universe they aren’t talking about fusion they are talking about shipping Steven and spinel which is disgusting
Uh... gems don’t age.
@Rhodonite Universe Exactly. Steg isn't considered incest. Steg is a representation of familial love between a father and son.
See, I like to think Peridot isn't able to fuse due to being a later era Peridot. She was told she didn't have any powers, and it came as a surprise she even had metallic kinesis powers. So maybe Peridot just can't? Or doesn't want to, perhaps. I can't see Lapis wanting to fuse either after her song in Future mentioning that fusion made her feel trapped and she just doesn't like it.
EDIT: What I mean by the Era 2 comment is that maybe Era 2 Peridots were not meant to fuse, and it is physically not programmed into their gems. Other Era 2 Gems can indeed fuse, yes, but perhaps that's the reason Peridot needs limb enhancers.
I can understand your lapis argument but it's hinted at aquamarine being era 2 (she's described as young, has to use an enhanced/is quite small/ we see a gem outline in garnets story that could be a bigger era 1 aquamarine) and she fuses with eyeball but of course this is just speculation
I mean, if a human like Connie can fuse, then I think Peridot is fair game.
@And I- Yes that's true, but perhaps an Era 2 Peridot cannot fuse. It wouldn't make sense to give her limb enhancers and the such if she could just fuse with other Peridots to become a bigger one.
@@revival9313 Well that's Steven fusing with Connie. The fact that he's half human gives somewhat of an excuse to him fusing with humans. And ignoring it might have just been a sloppy attempt, Greg and Rose couldn't fuse.
@@galacticam2000 I think Peridots use limb enhancers instead of fusing because they aren't meant for combat, which is why they sent Jasper as her bodyguard. Fusion seems like it would only be used in cases to enhance physical fighting strength, and to trap people like what Topaz does. But, Peridot's are used for their mind.
This ship got me INTO Steven Universe! (Along with walking in on my sister watching Jailbreak during Stronger Than You) But still! One of my earliest memories of Steven Universe discussion was at school with my friends at breakfast trying to figure out the ship name. (I came up with Peripis! 🤣)
Maybe not a love fusion, but a fusion of friends?
@Pedro Nonato right
Just like rainbow quartz 2.0, sunstone, smokey quartz 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
:o
@lycheelex yES tHat NeVer HaPpeNed
I actually think that their friendship makes more sense than a romantic relationship.
I think it’s important for lapis to be her own person. If she does fuse, I think only Steven and Peridot would be who should would fuse with. I think Peridot would be her much needed leap of faith to help Peridot and Steven is literally the only person she trusts.
Yay, you didn't hate on stevnel! :D i'm all for multishipping, so It's really nice to see people who respect different ships even if they don't personally love it. Thanks for being so cool man! Always loving your channel and analysis :3
(sorry if bad english)
Exactly! I ship Pearl for example with Rose/Pink, Mystery Girl, Bismuth, and sort of with Volley. Peridot is cute with Amethyst and sort of with Pearl, also with Bismuth too, I like Lapamedot and Lapismudot as well, and although I don't ship Stevinel the hate is super annoying, it's not okay to harass people like that, yknow?
@@GalacticRainestorm Yes! Exactly! I also ship Pearl with a lot of girls, she's so shippable haha xD
@@dalila2442 Yeah same. I ship Pearl with Lapis as well, and somewhat with Peridot. Both of the ships don't really make all too much sense but they are cute.
Peridot: learns to take care of yourself when Steven was 14
Steven: learns to take care of himself almost 3 years later
As a huge lapidot shipper, i kinda don't want them to fuse. i feel like it would contradict lapis' whole arc and whatnot. but i still want them to k-
I love the little touch of the ruby rider theme in the background when talking about peridots depression and listening to country music
We Didn’t Saw Bismuth Fuse SOOOOOO
a Fusion of Lapis and Peridot and Bismuth
Yes
Darw¡n 42 ur profile pic would be me when I heard this
I thought I was the only one thinking of this
I love it how at the beginning Bismuth broke the Radio and protected Lapis & Peridot from this boi
Me:Has read 30+ lapidot fanfics
Also Me:Dying of cuteness just of those 2 getting screentime
Hey, people shipped Lars and Sadie, but they parted; this may be the case for Lapis and Peridot. I'm sorry, flame me all you want, but it's possible
I know what you mean... but think about it. They ENDED a ship. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ONES, so why do it to another? There isn't any reason. But if they're friends...
They were really close in the movie, I don't think they'd drift apart off screen that quickly for the sake of drifting.
JJAA//JoyJoyArtist Joy ok, that made no sense but I agree with you and can get the gist of what you mean.
I still want them to be friends
unlikely, gems are different though. lars and sadie had separate paths and grew apart while lapis and peridot are crystal gems following a similar path developing little homeschool
And.. let the music take you.
*pearls rap begins*
Pearl: what r u looking at
Me 5 days ago: YES ITS GONNA HAPPEN
Me after the finale: ...
I was so sad and disappointed in the end because i thought there would be a very high possibility
I feel like most people have forgotten that Peridot is an Era 2 gem. In the episode where Peridot discovers her metal powers, she states that “Gems aren’t being made like they used to”. In that episode we find out that Peridot can’t shape-shift at all. She says that homeworld is running out of resources and gems are being given intellectual advantages instead of physical advantages (like shape shifting). BECAUSE OF THIS, she cannot fuse. As stated above, Era 2 gems are being made differently than Era 1 gems. Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Bismuth, Lapis, Jasper are all Era 1 gems meaning they can shape shift and fuse. Peridot is an Era 2 gem that cannot fuse because the “DNA” of the gem is modified to use less resources on home world. Which means that we will not get a Lapidot fusion. I could be wrong; I could be right, but this is my theory.
Topaz could fuse and i think they are from era 2 as Well so maybe she can fuse, still im not sure
Sorry but yes, yes she can fuse, fusion is like a DNA common thing for the gems, i think if some small shards can make a fusion so why not Peridot?
@@sandy_nes31 true
I think Flourite has some peridots in her. I don’t know what else the triangle gems could be
If I could describe lapidot it would be "How the f*ck isn't this canon"
This should be called “21 minutes of a guy making Lapidot fanfiction”
I love steven universe, but with both peridot and lapis being my favorite characters, it infuriated me that they NEVER, did anything with them when Lapis came back, I dont even know if there's a single SCENE of them talking in future, so much potential with two great characters, just to be thrown away, and to add onto that, they are literally the BEST charters to fuse with each other, with both of them having strange feelings towards fusion, like how peridot was made to believe fusion was "wrong" as soon as she emerged, and lapis's history of being fused with jasper, it would have shown how much they've changed, and genuinely cared about each other, all this potential, just to be thrown away.
4:22 “Lapi is forced to stay Peri gets away” is the best line I’ve heard in my life
Peridot:Where does it go?
Steven:Home
*YOU CAN’T CALL A HOUSE “HOME” WITHOUT LOVE*
You’re slowly writing your own fanfictions.
*good job*
You know that Little homeworld is Build on the old barns place?
Wow I did not know that
•O• WHAT
Wonder how Andy reacted to the barn being destroyed
THEY BARELY GOT ONE SCENE TOGETHER AND I WANNA DIE.
Monika what?
19:18 What if lapis says to peridot ''Well find him together'' cuz peridot is worried how will they find steven and lapis winn say to her that they would find him together and lapis fuses with peidot!!!!
When I was 9 or 10 and I saw "Lapidot" for the first time, I thought they were an actual couple...
“It’s still possible for this to happen in Future”
Nope. No there is not.
1:23
"then you have lapidot which is well"
Me: PERFECT DAMN IT
Peri is what’s known as the “ace” characters. She doesn’t wanna fuse mate! And although it crushes all my dreams we gotta respect the Peri :)
Rebecca never confirmed that though. I mean clearly she'll never fuse since the show is over, but Rebecca never once said Peridot is asexual.
@@mahliwowe She said she was in the fusion for beginners book so that basically confirms it.
@@exoticgreens9512 No she said she didn't want to fuse lol
@@mahliwowe Rebecca said in the fusion for beginners book that she was ace.
@@exoticgreens9512 No she didn't. The book was about fusion. Platonic/Romantic/ Unhealthy fusions were the focus of the book. Peridot "didn't want to fuse." It literally had nothing to do with sex or sexual attraction in her case. It was just teaching its okay to not want to do something.
If Lapidot ever did come true, it'd be after a very long time. Maybe even long after Steven is gone. Lapis went through HORRIBLE trauma relating to fusion. I really think time is the answer to this. Even then, it might just be as friends and nothing more. Lapidot is a very mixed opinion in the SU community. We more than likely won't see them on screen ever again, but you can always think of your own happily ever afters.
9:55 thank you thank you thank you for putting words into my mouth well the whole section really about peridot making a sorta safe space for lapis is like what my mom did with me kept the secret of my biological father away from me for 12 years I felt hurt and still am from it thank you
Lapis: *getting cracked easily by getting stepped on*
Peridot: *litterally has been crushed by 100 rocks that came out on nowhere and never poofed or cracked once*
Anyone else notice when peridot smiles after being asked if they’re ok their whole body lights up lol?
"STEVEN ILL GET YOU OUT OF THIS THING"
"LAPIS NO"
maybe not
I think they work really well as a close platonic relationship. I wouldn't have been opposed to a romantic ship, but I think that what they did was better. Besides, they're two of my favorite characters, and seeing them as close friends is great.
Nobody gonna talk about how not a SINGLE moment of these two together would happen if it wasn't for Steven?? (I mean, the show's point was to focus on Steven and how good of a person he is for helping and Lapis and Peridot and everybody else but still-)
I have a theory about the finale, I think steven will corrupt and destroy things, and unable to heal him, he ends up being stuck where he can't hurt anyone and locked away. But his friends still come and visit and tell him all the stuff they've been doing, and eventually he uncorrupts, but only after a few years-
idk, it might happen, it might not, but if it does happen it would be a way to have a montage of things that happened while he was corrupted, the future he missed.
I want to paint you a picture.
Lapis and Peridot finally see each other again. They both smile and Peridot runs towards Lapis. They come together and glow. (Steven shows an exited grin) and after a second, it falls apart. Period is looking around confused. Lapis is shaking, and she looks scared. Peridot walks over to lapis and lapis says, “I’m sorry, I’m just not ready for fusion again.” Period says, “It’s okay, we could try again later,” lapis looks concerned, “or not... we can still be together, just not like that,” period says. “Yeah,” lapis says.
Period grins and says, “welcome back.”
I respect the video's ideas, but Lapidot is a maybe not for me and Future just clinches it. I feel like ever since Lapis returned from the moon, something changed in Peridot. I honestly feel like she distanced herself from Lapis. They haven't interacted at all in Future. Not even to watch the Camp Pining Hearts reboot. A continuation of a show they bonded over greatly before.
They both seem happy imo, so I count it as a lesson that you shouldn't have to hide who you are to please your partner. Peridot was obviously uncomfortable tiptoeing constantly and Lapis honestly wasn't recieving the encouragement she needed because of it.
I think it was pretty lazy lmao, like Lapis returned from the moon and after all the time they spend together it was like...nothing happened lmao. Man like where is Pumpkin? Idk it just seems like lazy to me. Lapis returned from the moon and they didn't even talked about it...and honestly the aro/ace thing sounds like bs to me, like just an excuse.
@galixy wolf
?
@@bluespectrum1348 It is really weird right? Like they never explored her being aro in the show at all and then just didn't address her relationship with Lapis. Its lazy writing. One of the reason future was so disappointing.
@@bluespectrum1348 Pumpkin is dead
*Lapis seeing this video*
Lapis: "i don't want your garbage"
While a fusion between the 2 of them is not out of the question ,considering that one of the storyboard artists pretty much said that Peridot is not interested in romantic relationship(being aromantic) I doubt that Lapidot is gonna happen...then again, storyboard artists have proven to be unreliable in the past so take this with a grain of salt.
@Pedro NonatoI know, this is why I said that a fusion between them is not out of question
I don't think what the artist said is canon, but they never fused lol.
I don't think what the artist said is canon, but they never fused lol.
Ahhh dude. Thank you for this. Your idea for how it should have gone in Reunited is, well it’s how I wished it would’ve gone. I just finished watching the finale, and although I’m not surprised, I’m still disappointed...it’s like they went out of their way to keep these two from having their moment. Even in an interview with Rebecca sugar before the movie came out, when asked if they would fuse, her response was “give them time.” I feel led tf on! Anyway, this video soothed my wounds a bit lol
I ship it so much, but it’s kind of also a mother daughter relationship in a way, as you said: Peridot acting like an overprotective parent, sheltering Lapis from anything that could supposedly hurt her and sheltering her from change, but when Lapis leaves home (or in her case, with the home) it shows that peridot can no longer shelter her.
Well uh true but non parent relationship can be over protective but pretty sure they are just more friends idrk
Great analysis! I agree with a lot of the things you brought up. I feel LapiDot had a LOT of potential but was definitely handled badly. Personally I miss the times when it was a complete crackship xD and im still kinda bummed that we didnt get more of Peri, Lapis and Jasper as a villain team before redemptions had to happen left and right
I don't like it. I think they're better as friends, especially since I don't even like Lapis cause I think she's a bit jerky. However, I can appreciate the wonderful fanart and fanfiction from people like Dement09, they're really talented and cool even if I don't like the ship their awesome art comes from.
Man your remake of Reunited gave me goosebumps
My favorite SU ship next to Ruby and Sapphire. 💚💙💚💙
15:57 Look at the video, Steven just shoved Peridot aside to hug Lapis. WE ALL KNIW YPU MISSED HER BUT YOU SERIOUSLY COULDN’T LET THEM TALK FIRST??
If you listen closely you can hear the tune of Ruby Rider :)
Reunited should have been a 30 minute special
At this point I'd be fine with just official artwork of what a Peridot and Lapis fusion would look like
There’s a lot of reasons Lapis wouldn’t fuse with anyone again, to her it was uncomfortable and a way to feel trapped.
Maybe after some time and knowing peridot better they could try something
Stretch-armstrong is the most amazing name for spinel
Its hard to look at Lapis's expression when she stares at Peridot in some of these episodes and not think it might be more then friends
I remember when Lauren zuke(former story boarder) was trying to make Lapidot canon, and the shipping wars with Lapidot and amedot was during its peak, they were attacked by the fans and that made em quit story boarding for the show
They prolly choose to make peri ace so that the war doesn't re ignite again for choosing any sides for the ship it's too risky for it to happen again
- AlthoughtI think I saw a post from CN with "which is your favourite ship" and Lapidot was there so 👀-
I ship them, they were and still are my one true OTP, Thanks for making this video. That headcannon will live forever
What if Lapis asks Peridot to fuse maybe when Steven gets corrupted.
I know, Lapis feels trapped in fusion, but she'll do anything for Steven.
This is just a theory and i don't think it's going to come true, but we'll see :-)
They’re best friends and roommates and I love their platonic relationship
Who else is gonna watch a marathon of Steven universe the series, movie and future when it ends?
Why did this show always had to revolve around Steven! It can have many storylines without him being the main character trying to fix everything
MISSION FAILED: WE'LL GET EM NEXT TIME
JJdoesart4fun YT theres no next time
When your bff is a peridot and they are almost the same person: 👁👄👁
Never happend, WERE ALL SUPER SAD ABOUT IT! unless you ship Japis Or Amedot or something...
I ship lapiperiame
Historians call them friends, close friends, besties, roommates, co-workers, partners ,but *not lovers*
Imagine if ruby and sapphire switched places with peridot and lapis that would be very interesting.
0:09 NO NO!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
🎶Round and round let the city turn, roof on fire let burn chanpaine in my hand i'm not concernd🎶 🎶Round and round let the city turn, roof on fire let burn chanpaine in my hand i'm not concernd🎶 :D
I doubt think that they will ever fuse. But, maybe well get to see something in a montage and the end of the series.
I dont think that well have enough time in the next 3 episodes so, hopefully a montage moment of them?
I still remember when I first heard of this ship and that was long before the two even had a proper interaction. Besides… *cough cough* you know… anyway. I didn’t really hate it. I thought it was kinda cute in a sense, but I was in the corner where if it became a thing then it did, if it didn’t then it just didn’t. Then I saw the episode where lapis flew with Steven around a bit where in the end she choose to see the barn and peridot then walked into screen. I thought “alright, this is the moment to see where this will go” and it went better then I expected as the ship kinda came true. Not in the way the fandom expected but I was fine with it. It was one of the cutest things to come form the show.
Y'all peridot is aroace so the only relationship their gonna have is friendship.
Alternate title:
Lapidot's Canon
I remember hearing that one of the crew members of the show wanted to create lapidot and tried to force it into the story but rebecca sugar fired them because she didn't like it? I don't remember exactly, but I encourage others to look into it more, because I might be wrong (or maybe not).
Nah I don't think they were fired for that reason. After boarding the episode barn mates they were harassed off twitter and quit the show for mental health.
They probably thought abt making lapidot canon since the things you said on video, but i think they didn't because it was hard to convince cartoon network to let them make a sapphic wedding scene and another sapphic fusion that made with love could've be an issue for Rebecca and the team(if i gave any wrong information please let me know)
My theory: Steven gets corrupted and jasper asks to fuse with lapis to save Steven. Lapis refuses and later fuses with peridot to help save steven
I love these analysis videos
