>>91204455>Because she could've poofed her just as easily, hell, she could've shattered her even. Getting her locked within the temple is practically the same thing, but all she was able to accomplish was making everything far more difficult then it should beenshe wanted someone to suffer the same way she suffered, and simply poofing Jasper would not have given her that
>And even excluding that, it makes no sense how she's yet to make use of her water powers outside of mundane shit and being condescending towards the gems.the writing for lapis post-same old world is where the quality of Lapis' character falls apart, but like I said, it wouldn't have if they didn't immediately drop her anger towards everyone after bringing her back from the sidelines instead of turning her into a boring woobie. It's not a plot-hole, but it is bad writing direction imo, her character isn't anything other than depression representation now.
The actual explanation by Rebecca Sugar for her being a lazy useless piece of shit and not using her powers is because she is afraid of them and herself after what she did with Jasper/Malachite
