I'm more of a Steven x Connie shipper (Yes, I'm a shipper), but I don't mind the idea of this ship. Age isn't so much the problem (because age is an illusion for Gems), the only problem, I guess, is the fact that Steven is a young boy either 12 or 13 (I believe 13) and Lapis has the appearance of a woman who is 18-21. If this were to happen, many people (manely Adults) would see this as pedophilia and that is illegal in the U.S. and other countries. If there are so much as implications of a romantic relationship between the two, that would easily spark a controversy, much like the whole Bubbline thing back in 2011. I'm not saying this ship isn't possible, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. I see their relationship as the Big Sister/Little Brother type. Those laws apply to U.S citizens, not to "Aliens". You don't seem to get the point. I don't know if by "Aliens" you mean people from another country or from outer space.

It's like your saying it would be alright for a 38-year old man from Canada to hit on (flirt with) a 14-year old girl in the U.S. No it's wouldn't be alright. It doesn't matter what country (or planet) that person is from, pedophilia is pedophilia. If adults watch this happen on the show, BAM, controversy. I'm sure the Crewniverse wouldn't take that risk. Again, I'm not agianst this ship, I just don't see it happening on the show because of this.

I'm sorry if this seems mean to you. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to make my point. I'll state again that their relation seems more like the Big Sister/Little Brother kind. No more, no less, and I like it that way. Ya, they seem like sister and brother. So cute!!!! If they ever were together romantically, Steven would be like 20-something. It didn't stop Greg from being with Rose.(and she is, like, thousands of years older than him.
