I think Jasper is great. Though she seems to take a lot of pride in herself, she considers herself a failure as well. All quartz soldiers were made to protect their Diamonds and she wasn't even able to do that. I think she just wants revenge, to make it up to her Diamond in some way. She keeps losing due to fusions, it's understandable why she would do anything to level the playing field. Even if it meant fusing with a corrupted gem.

Then, I don't think it was the gem that corrupted her. It was herself. Garnet said corruption is the tearing of a gem's mind. Jasper despises herself because of what happened to Pink Diamond most likely, so it would be easier for her to become corrupted. It clearly spread faster the more she began to panic and get angry while talking about what happened during the war. It's like Pearl.

She was mentally broken when Rose left but she had a support system to keep her strong. That's why she was never corrupted when she fused. But Jasper has no one. Soldiers are expected to rely on no one and persevere no matter the circumstances.

She's alone at the end of the day and sometimes just relying on yourself isn't enough. It's like a house, without the foundation it'll fall. If Jasper has to be her own foundation but she's crumbling herself, how would you expect the house to stay up?

Remember, she doesn't think she deserves the pity or help of others. She doesn't think she deserves anything except what happens to her, whether it's good or bad. You can't blame her for being so loyal. That's how a soldier is supposed to be; loyal to anyone in a higher command than them.

She wasn't dumb or stupid. She was just in survival mode. Like a lion going after buffalo. It's dangerous and they're likely to get killed. But there are times when you realize that no matter what you have to survive and you do crazy things.

Until she calms down, I think being bubbled is the best option for her. She won't be in any pain like she's just taking a really long nap.

You can't hate her for grieving over her Diamond. That's like a mother figure to a gem. She just wants to prove that she's not a failure and PD didn't die in vain.

Jasper just wants to be loved T~T
