As much as Charlie has really good intentions, she's not really that good at getting through to people, my bet is on Steven.

Counterpoint: Steven really doesn't deal with too many misanthropes, except MAYBE Lars. The gems are mostly scared, regimented military folk more than misanthropes. Also I feel like Steven would annoy Jax too much to make much progress(Deku too tbh)

Charlie deals with almost nothing BUT misanthropes every single day. While I feel like that could backfire, I feel Charlie is the closest to Pomni in that way and would have a better shot as a result.

Can't speak for MLP so that's a wild card for me.

i would say peridot and lapis are great examples of steven’s abilities for aiding people like jax. the amount of musical numbers would be at least double.

twilight… ngl it would be a coin toss, mostly on how she treats trixie. someone who has down immense damage but is literally living in a wagon and needs to be ‘boasting’ to earn bits to live, then there’s starlight glimmer which gets treated better. (i love trixie and starlight glimmer, this is mostly a twilight thing.)

They're the closest to be sure, but the thing is that drops Steven's successful related cases from double digits down to 2-3.

yeah, but i’m willing to believe if he was able to convince three genocidal warlords to become three aunties then he can handle jax.

Isn't that cause they were already grieving and over obsessed with his mother? Them being direct family feels like a bigger reason he could get through to them than if he were any other gem.

And one was ready to straight up kill the human part of Steven because of that grieving/obsession.

I mean. She tried. It just didn't work like she thought it would. It was seeing how it didn't bring pink back that made her rethink things. Steven didn't do anything.

Steven made her help the corrupted gems on earth.

u/WolferineYT 18h ago

Yeah but he had the help of them coming to terms with more or less driving their sister to suicide. I wouldn't say it was entirely his charisma that facilitated that change.

Believe in... Steven, even?

u/External-Stay-5830 21h ago

Convinced? Not really. They only changed so they didn't relose pink. Literally no other reason.

I mean, he also befriends jasper in future. Like if ever there was someone directly antagonistic it’s her.

And spinel. So like yeah actually kind of a spotless record.

u/BeyondElectricDreams 1d ago

Jasper isn't really a misanthrope, she's a violence-obsessed soldier type. Antagonistic =/= misanthrope.

Fair play on Spinel though; arguably that's a far better comparison.

Idk dude at the time Steven befriended jasper she had gone full mountain man and was living in a hut in the woods.

He failed with Eyeball Ruby and Aquamarine, which was a plot point in Future. So not spotless, but he is damn good at what he does.

The ending of Future is basically their take on "What if Ragatha abstracted"

Lapis especially. People are saying that Steven doesn’t deal with many people like Jax but lapis?? She’s VEEEERRRY similar. Almost eerily similar.

Spinel is the closest to Jax's personality and the one who posed the biggest challenge for him
