Re: What are your favorite trash characters?
If we’re posting characters even we think are trash, I have an unusually negative interpretation of Jasper in Steven Universe. I think she intentionally targets other people’s emotional weak points, and I view a lot of her more sympathetic moments as a performance intended to cause a specific reaction from Lapis or the Crystal Gems. This actually makes her more interesting to me compared to her standard interpretation as an honorable warrior.

Jasper boils down to this for me: She starts out just wanting to protect her 'homeworld' (Earth) and lets herself fall victim to negativity all around her. Early on, this warps her perception of right and wrong. Yellow Diamond (whom most definitely is looking more and more culpable as the Pink Diamond's murderer) plants the seeds in Jasper's head = revenge. Kill those that oppose you. That'll get your revenge. You're doing it for me, you'll make it seem, but really you're doing it for you. Serving me is serving yourself. This is how emotional manipulation works with gems, I would imagine. YD got Jasper, and likely countless others, to believe they were getting revenge for Pink Diamond - for themselves because, hey, that was my Diamond! - but in reality, she fooled them all into being her puppets - her good soldiers. Jasper didn't know better. She's a phenomenal soldier after all! She probably takes the word of her superiors to heart. Obedient to a fault, at least until Lapis takes her prisoner. Now Jasper has time to think. Has time to mull over everything that's ever happened and she realizes, she needs to take this into her own hands. She needs to be stronger to win - to defend Earth and avenge her true Diamond. There was never anything honorable to her person, only her loyalty to Pink Diamond. And so she sets out on this messed up revenge ride because she's damaged in so many ways she's never realized. Even when it's too late to save her, she's convinced she's doing the right thing because revenge is all she's ever known and there's no way revenge can't fix her. It has to. Until it doesn't.
*dramatic music* lol, or so that's my take on Jasper.
