guys, listen
it’s okay to acknowledge that Peridot and Lapis’s relationship wasn’t perfect, that Peridot was afraid of her and afraid of upsetting her, that Lapis is a flawed character, that there was an unhealthy amount of reliance Peridot had on Lapis being there. just because you like lapidot (and i do) doesn’t mean you can’t accept that their relationship up to this point was flawed, that Lapis has done bad things and hurt people. This is why Lapis leaving happened- so they can both separately come to terms with themselves and what was wrong, and when they see each other again, apologize and work on a healthy relationship. Because it’s obvious they legitimately care about each other, and it’s important that they understand each other fully.
I love my gay farmer aunts as much as the next person, and because of that I’m happy that they have this character development to experience.
