Jasper believes that “You suffer because it’s what you deserve! We all only get what we deserve.” She holds others, as well as herself, to that standard. When she herself gets corrupted, she refuses help because she believes that she deserves to suffer as a corrupted gem.

But there’s one exception to her belief. One who did not deserve what happened to her at all. Pink Diamond. Pink Diamond did not deserve what happened to her. Pink Diamond did not deserve to be shattered.

Because if Jasper believed that, then she would not have mourned Pink Diamond as she did. She would not have returned to Earth in hopes of finally getting revenge. She would not have disobeyed her orders from Yellow Diamond so that she could bring “Rose Quartz” back to pay for her crimes.

She would consider Yellow Diamond to be her diamond, and would look down on Pink Diamond. The diamond who was so weak, she allowed a mere quartz to shatter her. How pathetic. But she doesn’t. Pink Diamond is still her diamond. Jasper might serve Yellow Diamond, but she doesn’t follow her. She doesn’t live for Yellow Diamond. Those honors still go to Pink Diamond.

And I really hope that Jasper takes that belief that Pink Diamond did not deserve what happened to her, and takes it to other gems. Including herself. But it won’t be easy. After all Pink Diamond is a diamond, and she’s just a Jasper. A quartz soldier. One of many. And to admit that she herself is worth something, would be elevating a jasper to the level of a diamond. Of her diamond. And that’s going to be very difficult for Jasper.
