Why did lapis had bailed out as soon as she heard the name of diamonds even without listening Steven?

She's emotionally and psychologically damaged and behaves irrationally because of it. This can justify and handwave away anything inconsistent or nonsensical with what she dies.

Imagine being so afraid that you go back to homeworld after a era locked in a mirror BECAUSE of homeworld.
Chronologically, she has a non-sense reason for everything.
>Trapped in a mirror by homeworld until found by a Pearl and freed by a kind gem boy?
>I'M GOING TO HOMEWORLD! I DON'T KNOW THIS PLANET I SPENT MORE TIME ON!
>Actually back on Earth because you were a forced informant and possibly tormented?
>FUCK YOU! I'M GOING TO TORMENT MY TORMENTOR! BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE A FRIEND ON THIS PLANE THAT CAN PROTECT ME!
>Has a third chance after her last two fuck ups?
>I'm too scared! Even though I raped one of their strongest quartz soldiers into a rape slut!

This sadly, what the fuck. I'd rather she didn't help progress the plot and just not be relevant again after Season 1 if she has a motivation that makes her sound like she'd be a third party by the end of this series.

Uh user any gem that defects would be default be a former slave

she knew her place

Yellow Diamond showed how weak Lapis is against Diamonds by poofing her almost instantly. She was right to be scared.

>Threw a massive barn/water ball on Blue Diamond
>Is NOT instantly killed
She needed to grow a few nuts is pretty much how her character arc sounds like it would have gone.
But no, her reason for fighting here is because she's sadder than fucking BLUE DIAMOND.
Okay bitch.

>emotionally and psychologically damaged
That's what I meant to say, stone mines can be hazardous for your mental health, even if you're made of light.

Spinel also had 1000 year long abandonment issues and came out as okay after the end of the day. Lapis had lot worse shit that can't be explained simply with in-show stuff.

Lapis was demoted of her water powers and subjected to daily mobbing as a slave laborer by other gems before the show's events.

As I said, she did that because she was smart.
If you wouldn't do the same that means you aren't smart

She did grow said nuts, it was just saved for a twist rather than actually seeing it. I'm not sure what led you to think that she's fighting BECAUSE she's felt worse but because that's the reason it lets her tank Blue's attack.

You aren't smart by running away when your presence is already known by homeworld.
Remember by this point, Lapis is logged down for either on a ship heading to Earth, or for assaulting a ruby squad ship with survivors that actually made it back to Homeworld.
She's pretty dumb by this point actually if you thought about it like how Peridot's 'report' actually came back to bite everyone.

Because she had the edge.

It's kinda funny when you imagine lapis trying to open a hole in the wall with a pickaxe as a punishment around all that high tech stuff.

If Lapis would escape, she'd probably been found sooner or later in an another planet and probably wouldn't have the same chance of defending herself as she's with CG's.

This. It took every single one of them just to knock Blue to her knees and we don't actually know how much time elapsed when Yellow joined the fight since Steven was unconcious. That was a losing fight and only Steven unleashing his aura (and the Diamonds clearly being mentally checked out of the fight) was the reason the CG's survived.

This pretty much.
It's partially understandable for why she leaves and 'exits' the first two times.
But leaving that third and extra fourth time just because she really 'actually' hates the CGs, is a fucking dumb plot device to make some low hanging fruit of a payoff later on.

As I said you can't get it. You aren't smart enough to know why doing that would be the most logical thing to do, so I'll not waste my time in explaining to you why Lapis was smart in doing that

user, your logic at the best saves her a few extra seconds.
The ships that know her location track her down upon escaping the moon base mere minutes and possibly before they touch down on Earth, blasting her out of the sky or kidnapping her, and making her a hostage or shattered upon contact.
There is nothing good about her abandoning these gems after a FOURTH fucking chance to come back just for a bullshit payoff.
Smart my ass dude, she's so cowardly it's amazing she didn't realize she had a 'strength in numbers' card in her brain and instead thought she could handle things on her own, lmfao.
And screw her prisoner complex, by this point she became a warden of someone else, she should have not only been over it, but thinking the exact opposite.
Guess that's what happens when you trap your bitch of a character in a rape baby for 2 seasons and don't develop her even when she gets special treatment.

>Just get over trauma lol
Taking out your anger on someone doesn't make your issues go away, if anything it makes them worse. It's only when Lapis decided to work with the others than things started to improve. Sadly that's also when the funding was yanked so we didn't get more seasons and then a time skip happened to enable other stories to be told.

Well, that'd be fine if she didn't have enough time to get over her trauma when she 'takes her anger out' on three separate occasions by fucking with the CGs, making Malachite, and stealing Peridot's whole barn and toying with her.
Whatever trauma she has becomes more like an excuse in hindsight for her to act like a cunt.
This show's funding got wrecked by the S1 finale for all it was good for, not that it can really be blamed on gayness, the views for Jailbreak were fantastic.

Yeah, that is the whole premise of the show. Even steven was saved from turning a pink dildo with the help of his friends. And imagine where Lapis would be if she didn't help CG's against Blue. Probably hiding in fear somewher in space while losing her few bits of sanity.

As I said you can't get it.
If you were smart enough to know why Lapis HAD to do those stuff you would realize how stupif your points are.
But I guess you can't, Lapis's level of smartness is to high

Slave labor memories don't that easily fade away user. I have to remind you that Lapis still didn't wholly get over it, but only learnt how to channel her depression and angst into something else.

>Does not actually even bother responding with his perceived levels of 'smartness'
Sorry she's a bimbo dude.

I'm not sure here people translate 'slave labor' from 'interrogation session' because that's how Same Old World describes it.
And either way, it's not channeled pretty well then.
So it's either she's damned by a shitty line of logic that no one even in her similar predicament makes FOUR TIMES in a row.
Or, the message is bullshit to begin with.

Lapis Lazuli was a terraformer not a slave, she's not a Pearl, watch the show before you spam your shit headcanon you retarded cock sucking bitch cuck bastard

>I'm not sure here people translate 'slave labor' from 'interrogation session' because that's how Same Old World describes it.
No, when we mean slave labor, it's slave labor. Interrogation is different.

Okay, but where's the slave labor anywhere in Lapis Lazuli's story?
She gets back punched by a rouge Bismuth.
Never dies on the battlefield (lol shocker)
Then gets found and mistaken BY HOMEWORLD and slammed into a mirror, trying to get a truth she doesn't know out of her.
Then abandoned after the corrupting nuke.
Found some 6000 or whatever fucking years later by Pearl before the show.

What part of this is 'slave labor'?
Because she liked her job that's why she's more inclined to head back to homeworld than stay on Earth, even though chronologically it makes no fucking sense.

Pearls are like fancy tools rather than slaves. Lapis Lazuli is made to be a terraformer but she was demoted to a slave labor after making a mistake in one of the colonies.

It's IMPLIED to happen BEFORE the series, not in the show. You need to watch it more carefully.

[Citation Needed]
Because never once is it implied this openly that she was a 'slave'
A terraformer is an established job on Homeworld, not slavery.
That's for the gems who are defective and usually, they end up shattered instead of allowed to live, because by White's combined law, they are not in her vision of perfection by that point of degrade.

slave labor is the punishment that is "worse than shattering" mentioned in the trial.
>implied this openly
tell me something that is implied openly in this show.
