Her theme song is just like the ocean. Calm and clear, then suddenly loud! Crashing dark waves! Out of nowhere like anger and sadness falling around you the pure embodiment of her emotions! Then all at once.. calm again
OKAY I saw this before :44 came and I was like "Oh! I love these comments! Something to look forward to!" and Lemme tell you dude... I waited.. excited for some epic piano maneuvers and what I got was screamed at by a Reaper lmao. I involuntarily chucked my mouse at my computer screen
“I’m Lapis Lazuli and you can’t keep me trapped here anymore!” “I’ve felt worse.” “I just want to go home.” “Water was the tomb I lived in for those months.” “I was only supposed to stay a short while, but then I got caught in the middle of a war.” “Peridot? Are you ok?” “I’ve been calling it Meep Morp.” “Bob.”
The song from the scene where Lapis is fighting the crystal gems just shows you how the music is really reflective of the characters, each character appearing introducing a new type of sound.. Gotta love that detail.
@@universereverbz I think the scene the oc was referring to is the water clones eith the music being "Mirror Match". That has the best use of motifs compared to the scene where Lapis takes out her anger on the Crystal Gems.
Minh Hieu Do it was going to be "Escapism", but since Rebecca already had a song planned out for Lapis, she just sung Distant Shore. Someone else may sing "Escapism".
I like how malachites theme is destructive representing how they are a toxic fusion and don't go together not even having their own voice actor for malachite, simply switching between jasper and lapis yet the song still bops also I like how the piano parts sorta sound mashed
Isn't it weird to think that, if Lapis had wanted to destroy the Crystal Gems, Malachite totally could've? It was pure luck that they survived that moment.
@@emmasantonge2718 I agree, I hear a lot of people say that Malachite wouldve lost if it werent for the water but people forget Malachite had Alexandrite beat even on land. Additionally, come to think of it, the only reason Malachite didnt smash the CG in her first appearance was also because of Steven. He treated Lapis like a friend when everyone else imprisoned her. The Crystal Gems didnt beat Malachite, Steven beat Malachite lmao
People call Lapis a coward for leaving Earth, but imagine being caught in a war, hurt, basically killed, trapped in a mirror for THOUSANDS of years with no possible chance to get out, then caught again and forced to fight with someone who is phisically much stronger. After all that you finally get a chance to rest and live happily, but...your new home is going to be attacked. AGAIN. And if you stay, the story might repeat itself, you can get trapped again and this time no one will save you. Lapis ran not because she is a coward who is afraid to face the Diamonds. She ran because if she got caught again, her psyche wouldn`t make it.
Ramer Call physically* Also, while jasper MAY have been physically stronger, Lapis was clearly more powerful. Do you know how crushing the ocean can be? If you went deep enough into the ocean, even if you could breath underwater, you’d still get crushed by the pressure of the water. That means that Lapis could probably shatter a gem if she wanted to. Besides, all of the gems went through bad stuff. Like the person above me said, it still sounds like cowardice to me.
Xoxo. Slytherin. I don’t understand how you can blame her. First of all, when the ship went down Lapis was CRUSHED under it. You really think she would be strong enough to fight Jasper?? She wasn’t even strong enough to fly away properly. Plus, none of the other gems have gone through worse.
Yeah, it's like a jumpscare. You try to forget the past but the years in a mirror keep on coming back no matter how hard you try to run away. I've always loved su music.

Lapis is such an under rated character. Her story is just so tragic yet she never let that turn her into a bad person. Instead she is trying to cope and constantly getting braver and stronger to fight back against her fears and attackers. Sure, she might faulter at times, but her heart is always true to herself and the people she loves, and she always bounces back. Such a sweet, beautiful, often misunderstood character. I love her to bits!
“Thank you…you actually talked to me, you helped me!” “It’s Steven, right? I’m Lapis, Lapis Lazuli. Are you really a crystal gem?” “But…you saved me.” “You…you three knew I was in there, and you didn’t do ANYTHING! DID YOU EVEN WONDER WHO I USED TO BE?!” “I’M LAPIS LAZULI AND YOU CAN’T KEEP ME TRAPPED HERE ANYMORE!” “They’re not gonna let us leave….Steven, come with me!” “What are you doing here Steven?” “Don’t you know anything Steven?! Your friends, they don’t really care about other gems! All they care about is the earth! But I never believed in this place….” “I just….wanna go home.” “I’m only using the ocean because my gem is cracked! If I just stretch it far enough…oh, this is never going to work..” “Wait, you have healing powers?” “Oh…what should I..” “Thank you Steven!” “It’s Lapis…” “Ok, bye.” “Steven! I hope you’re able to hear this. There’s a gem looking for you, she even knew your name! I don’t know how, I didn’t tell her I swear! She’s on her way to earth, and she’s not alone! Steven, homeworld…it’s not the way it used to be! Everything here is so advanced, I can’t even understand it! There’s no way anything on earth can stand up to it! Please, don’t put up a fight, it’ll only lead to devastation!” “Steven, whatever you’re doing just stop! If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us!” “That’s why we can’t fight them!” “I’m tired of being everyone’s prisoner! Now you’re MY PRISONER, AND I’M NEVER LETTING YOU GO!” “Let’s stay on this miserable planet…TOGETHER!”
After all the pain, the suffering, the sadness, the loneliness, the happiness finally has come for her but her past still haunts her. That's what lapis lazuli is.
i'm so very disappointed in myself for barely getting to listening to this now. lovely transitions, i cannot wait for the album and covers you mentioned you were working on. you, sir, have earned yourself a sub.
You! You 3 knew I was in there and you didn't do anything! Did you even wonder who I used to be? I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me prisoner anymore!
Lapis can probably beat Alexandrite all by herself. She has a very deadly power. She imprisoned Jasper for three months, and she has the power to let water do her bidding.
1stly “the writer” is called the one and only Rebecca sugar and secondly she’s not broken anymore (apart from mentally but meh) Lastly: she is the best, in first place with garnet for me
@@allie4182 BUT MEH!? Do you know what its like to be traped and broken and then trying to hold back your "Jasper" and traping your slef in a unhealthy mentality just to... maybe I gone a bit to far
I just stumbled across this video through the related videos sidebar. Lucky. This is very well made and I love the whole story it tells. Hopefully the crew can release more Lapis-related instrumentals in the future. An update would be cool to see.
This blew up some time recently (I've been listening to this for a long time on many occasions, and I was there around 31 likes and 700 views) I love almost the journey that you can hear through all of the parts
Lapis is so powerful. She was able to fight off all of the crystal gems while controlling the entire ocean and with a cracked gem. She kept Jasper trapped at the bottom of the ocean. I kind of want to see her just go crazy and fully use her power.
You forgot "That Distant Shore" But I Can see why for SO Many Reasons! Still. Even without that, This is just pure Awesomeness and I Care for Lapis even more now. ^^
Sometimes I have feelings that are close worse to Lapis Lazuli, although I do have times where, cheery things happen, like Lapis. There’s always a time where she has a smile to her face, a true smile.
