Talk:Lapis Lazuli/@comment-3965346-20161111061637

I saw this on tumblr. And it got me thinking, does Lapis really like Rubies? Like are they her favorite type of gem? Well, judging by her little interaction with Leggy, I guess this might be the case.



They don't say anything Leggy just waves at Lapis and smiles at her and Lapis smiles back and it looks like she's going "Aww, hi there little Ruby". At first, I thought Lapis just liked brand new gems like how people like babies but after reading that post it makes me think that Lapis is smiliing at Leggy is because she's a Ruby and Lapis might like Rubies.

And look at this!



Although the high five with the Ruby that makes up Garnet signifies that Lapis is starting to get along with the Crystal Gems, I'm thinking maybe part of the reason why she's high fiving the Ruby that makes up Garnet could be because she's a Ruby, I mean would she be willing to high five Amethyst or Pearl or Sapphire or Garnet? Maybe but it might be different than high fiving the Ruby that makes up Garnet, I don't know.

Also, just as that tumblr user pointed out, Lapis did treat the Ruby Squad like they were children she's babysitting in Back to the Moon.



"They came out of their little ship very angry so I put them in time out"

Yep, time out is a punishment parents and babysitters use for children when they're not behaving well.

And she did put them in time out, in water bubbles.





So, I guess it's clear now Lapis does like Rubies, they're her favorite type of gem and they're one of the only things that could put a smile on Lapis' face. I wonder where her liking Rubies come from, she probably had a good experience with them. Maybe she was friends with a Ruby and the Rubies make her think of her or maybe Rubies actually showed kindness to her back on Homeworld, she probably had a few generous Rubies help her, or maybe some were given a mission to protect her once. Whatever it is it must've been something big enough to make Lapis like Rubies.

Maybe we'll see Lapis liking Rubies more depth. Also, if the Ruby Squad were to live at the barn with Lapis and Peridot after getting rescued and redeemed, Lapis might be truly happy to have her favorite type of gem, Rubies living with her and Peridot.
