~ Rebecca Sugar & Ian^ The second image was posted YESTERDAY 1/25.







~ An official book being released soon, Rebecca Sugar and other artists were involved.

~ NYCC panel 2016:



Jennifer Paz (the voice of Lapis) described Peridot and Lapis as an “odd couple”. It’s immediately followed up by Shelby Rabara saying: “Opposites attract, right?” This was followed by a clip of “Gem Harvest” that featured Lapis, Peri, and Steven.



~ An entire month dedicated to Lapis/Peri on the 2018 Steven Universe calendar.

~ Hey, look, SU is getting an ongoing comic, and the first one features a story about Lapis/Peridot! HERE

~ Lots of promo art!



~ There’s more, but you get the point.

How animation works: You write it, storyboard it, and it gets approved by 20 different people. People who work on the show, producers, censors, etc. Everything gets a green light, and you can not “sneak” things in. It then gets animated, by multiple people (sometimes, in multiple countries), and is sent to air. How do I know this? Because I am an animator.



Running a crewniverse member off twitter wasn’t enough. Now some people feel a need to drag this person on other sites. So much so, this person felt a need to defend themselves against it. Then, people use that (well written, fair, and eloquent) post as “evidence” for a rumor, and continue to drag them.



BTW: It’s likely they had to ask to make that post, for confidentiality/legal reasons regarding the show/company/copyright.



Being critical of a character, show, etc. is one thing. Feel free to do that on your own blog. But when you start to send death threats, harass, belittle, etc. real life people over fictional characters and stories, you need to chill.

Crewniverse used to post promo images, character sheets, background images, pictures of the food they made for episode premieres, etc. ALL the time. Now it’s a rarity. That’s not a coincidence.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
