i think ill point this out again because i dont think you see how important quote-unquote "filler" is.

when you go to school, you dont have all your exams from every year in one month. you have to go right from kindergarten to university or college. (not that you get exams in kindergarten but thats not my point.)

its just like the show. you cant have all the plot happen in one episode, or even one string of episodes, with nothing else between, becsause that's not what happens in real life.

Lapis didnt make it back to homeworld overnight and she certainly didnt send the message the next morning - it would have taken her actual months to fly through space.

things have to happen that arent the main plot so that time actually runs smoothly. and the episodes that you say are filler are actually important; because without them we souldnt know the characters so well and we wouldnt get to see them grow as people.

hey, get this: fusions arent part of the main homeworld soryline. without your "filler" episodes, we wouldnt know that fusion is a thing.

without your so-called "filler" episodes, we wouldnt know what was going on anytime in the show.
