So, I’ve FINALLY calmed down to write a proper reaction to these episodes… especially Earthlings.

First, I have to say Kimberly Brooks who is the voice actress of Jasper did an AMAZING job delivering those lines during Jasper’s corruption. I was stunned into silence. When Steven questioned Jasper, “Yellow Diamond?” and Jasper responded so STRONGLY that it inevitably caused her corruption to consume her I was just… I can’t even describe the emotions. It was intense.

To see and hear Jasper so vulnerable… was something else. It was refreshing and interesting to see her perspective of the Crystal Gems and what they’re doing… We FINALLY know Jasper’s motivation, why she seems so fixated on Rose Quartz, why she detests Earth and those who inhabited and protect it… and it’s just… an eye opener to me. TBH, I had a sneaking suspicion Jasper would fuse with one of those corrupted Jaspers, but I think the biggest influence in her corruption was her anger and her hatred… and her unwillingness to accept Steven’s help, to accept Rose Quartz’s help… the gem who PROBABLY shattered Pink Diamond… I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE… SMOKY QUARTZ WAS VOICED BY NATASHA LYONNE? AND I’M STILL NOT OVER IT TBH. I LOVE NATASHA LYONNE… I fell in love with her ever since I watched But I’m A Cheerleader when I was fourteen, LOL.

ALSO? Amethyst saying, “C’mere, sis” to Jasper made me tear up. I don’t think I’ll EVER recover from this episode.
