Can someone please explain to me why Amethyst nearly died when her gem cracked, but Lapis not only survived in the mirror for an unknown amount of time, and fought all of the Crystal Gems, but also STOLE THE ENTIRE OCEAN all with a cracked gem?
I think the size of the crack itself plays a role. The crack in Amethyst’s Gem was not only deeper and bigger than Lapis’, but it started to crack more and more to the point where Amethyst was unstable.
Her being “overcooked” and made in a kindergarten might also apply to this, but I’m not sure.
