Talk:Gem Homeworld/@comment-11398208-20160203063044

Mmk, I'm just going to simplify it like this, try not to be speculative and call it a night:

-lapis says she was imprisoned in the mirror. She doesn't ever say who, to my knowledge.

-the crystal gems say the mirror is used to teach homeworld knowledge, and they never speak of the incident again...

-the mirror itself is an artifact of the prewar era, supposedly claimed by the crystal gems.

Assuming none of the above is lying/false, isn't it feasible to assume lapis Lazulis, despite how dark it might be, are actually treated as "retainers of information", trapped within mirrors and stripped of their identity, to more efficiently teach newly created kindergarden gems homeworld knowledge? They might have other roles as well, but the only cannon one we have seen her serve, she was freed from... I'm not trying to add speculation, but food for thought, since I never see anyone bring this up. Maybe I missed an episode explaining this, but there's nothing that I know of that refutes this possibility.

This is hardly the darkest implication I've seen from the show, so I'm just bringing up the seemingly obvious.
