<p>So in Barn Mates, Peridot and Lapis became barn mates. Lapis hated each her until the end of the episode.Â
</p><p>Anything ship is possible in this show (excluding Jasper ships). Let's see if this ship has a chance.
</p><p>Note : I'm not saying they do now, because a couple people in the comment section below are making it sound like I do.
</p><p>Lets start with the card. The card's cover is a hint. On the cover its the two blushing, holding hands, and smiling, it seems romantic. Even though Steven drew it, the crewverse decided he would do it. Why couldn't of it just been a simple "I'm sorry" on the cover? Why would the crewverse draw that and put detail in to it?
</p><p>I'll keep on adding hints as we go on in the show with these two.
</p><p>A question I have is ; Why does Peridot like Lapis all of the sudden? We've only heard her speak about her twice and it wasn't that positive.
</p><p>I think these two relate to each other. They can't go back to Homeworld, they are trapped on Earth and learning, and they are confused. They could learn from each other.
</p><p>What do you think?

<div class="quote"><i>Toastastrudel wrote: <div class="quote">Balaya wrote: Hope NO ! Better Steven => Connie vs Lapis Lazuli </i></div> Stevonnie is the only ship I have in SU. I know that Garnet is canon, but they're not split enough....
</div>
<p>Agreed.. Garnet is a ship but she isn't split enough and they're kinda unhealthy.
</p><p>Also, Lapis is like 5000 years old, and Steven is only 14. Wouldn't that make Lapis a pedophile?
</p>
<p>What in the world is unhealthy about Sapphire and Ruby. Seriously? The show signs of affection, they honestly show that the love eachother very much, there is no hatred or bitteness between them. When they both did something wrong they both accepted that they where in the wrong and forgave eachother for it. There is nothing wrong with that relationship. I want to strive to be that happy with someone one day.
</p><p>Rose Quartz would be labeled as a Pedo as well for dating a younger man when she's well over 5000 years old.
</p>
<p>Many feel that Ruby and Sapphire are a unhealthy relationship because they literally cannot handle being apart, and they want to be together 24/7. Imagine how that would turn out in real life. You want to be close to your partner but never talking to anyone else? That IS pretty unhealthy. People need friends in their lives, and their families. I'm divided though on whether or not Ruby and Sapphire are unhealthy specifically because they did have an argument in Keytone Motel.
</p><p>And agree on the last bit. I hate this fandom, they think every Steven/Gem ship is pedophilla. You people relaze that pedophilla is attraction to kids that haven't reached puberty right? And we now know that Steven is 14? A teenager?
</p>
<p>And by the same logic, Lapidot would be pedophilla as well.Â
</p><p>Lapis has been alive for over 5,000 years at least, before the war started, while Peridot was made sometime after the war.
</p>
<p>If people ship Steven as a Consenting Adult with Peridot or Lapis I think that is fine. Because Greg was a consenting adult who wanted to be with a 5000 year old gem too. Though personally think he's head over heels in love with Connie...
</p><p>And on the fact of Sapphire and Ruby, I know a couple who are inseperable, but they still go out they do things together and guess what, THEY LOVE DOING IT. So what if Sapphire and Ruby don't want to be apart, that's not unhealthy they are choosing to stay together to hang out with their friends they both enjoy doing the same things together so there's nothing unhealthy about it. If one wanted alone time and the other didn't THEN it's unhealthy.
</p><p>Also...
</p><p>We are way off Topic.
</p><p>This is Lapidot we should be talking about XP

</p><p>No it's not. Gems have no concept of age, there is no child in Gem culter Gems are adult the moment they are made. They may not know everything right off the bat but there is no such thing as children in the gem culter. You jus said the Pedo means for an Adult to have an attraction to Children. But if there is no such thing as Children in gem society there are no pedo's. This means Lapidot is not Pedophellia.
</p>
<p>The age of consent in several countries is 14 so I have no problem with shipping art of Steven how he is now.
</p><p>But Ruby and Sapphire don't hang out with their friends. Garnet does.Â
</p><p>They are so in love with each other that they are fused constantly. We rarely see them.
</p><p>I don't know how to translate Garnet over into real life but i'm trying to say that some people see their love as more of being obssesed with each other. Maybe think of Malachites realm but instead of that it's them in a happy house. They never leave. Garnet is the one who talks and does things with everyone else.<i> (remember fusions are whole new people and have disticntly different personalities. Minus Malachite because of how unstable she was, she didn't even have a new voice) </i>It's just....I don't know it feels really off to me, but it is a kids show so...

<p>I said BY THAT LOGIC, as in the whole numbers thing the other person brought up. It's obviously not pedophilla I was pointing out how the other person was wrong by using gems as an example... Â ._.

<p> Ahhh okay then.
</p>
<p>Welp, a Lapidot thread just became p e d o hell.
</p><p>Again It's not wrong to ship. It's (st3vidot and stap1s) just very uncomfortable for me (and apparently most people) to tolerate.
</p><p>Gems don't have concept of age in human standards. Yet they are technically born and live as grown/adult gems. So a relationship of gem with a gem is not pedophilia. But a relationship of a gem and a human (or half-human) KID is.
