kikilazuli:

god remember how people theorized that the first time we’d see lapis cry would be because she’d be absolutely hurt and broken and unable to keep things bottled up inside anymore. but this is not that. we assumed we’d see her cry when she was at her weakest. but this is her at her strongest. facing all her fears head on, not running away, being the only one standing up against a diamond, completely undeterred. because like she said, she’s felt worse. thousands of years of imprisonment, trauma, and ptsd. but she’s finally not letting it control her.

I am so fucking proud of this gem, she is so fucking important to me, and I love her with my entire soul and being
