the Connie character breakdown ask for @imlazyinlife!!

sry it took me a while to do this lol! enjoy!

How I feel about this character

Lol i actually really like Connie, tho i know a few stevinel shippers who don’t, which is understandable. Personally, i related to Connie in early seasons, escaping into fiction from overly strict and controlling parents hit deep, and all her expectations she had to deal with bruh i loved her So Much. then she learned to swordfight and became an epic badass and i just loved her even more (and i ship connverse too bc CUTE and also why limit myself lol)

But idk, as the seasons progressed she seems a bit more diluted and distant from steven to me. But in honesty, i see it more as Connie growing in a different direction than Steven bc of her stronger connection with earth culture and can't fault her for it

in fact even tho it broke my heart i was Super proud of Connie for telling steven to wait when he asked her to marry him bc idk i think ppl forget Connie is like 14/15. She's even younger than steven to consider such a commitment when shes still discovering herself and shouldn't have to be stevens “missing piece” or his reward/prize for when he starts getting help

All the people I ship romantically with this character

STEVEN and SPINEL bitches!!!!! I'm poly and i LOVE ot3’s and as a multishipper this is where im McFrickin THRIVE!!! I think they would all BE SO CUTE TOGTHERRRR! Its not going to happen in my double trouble au, but i AM workin on a separate fic that will be all three of them together (haven't decided if Universe will be there as welll...what do you guys think??)

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Muhahahahaha i love her with SPINEL obvi! I really want them to bond over their shared fighting skills and (in my fic) love of science and learning. I really want spinel to be protective of Connie and her right to learn who she is and travel where she wishes (ya’ dont haveta’ stand still for no one, dollface. Not me, not Stevie, not y’ur parents, nobody. Go whereva’ ya want.”) and Connie, after dealing with the mixed feelings of spinel and steven dating, is Hella Overprotective of this sweet pink bean who is touch starved and desperate for friends but trying so hard not to seem that way, once they get passed all the awkwardness these gals are pals for life i accept no other outcomes 

My unpopular opinion about this character

Lol please see: Connie deserves to be more than steven’s prize/savior. I think suf is handling pretty well right now tbh, even though i was upset that Connie left to study when it was clear that Steven wasn't okay. But honestly, I have mixed feelings bc it is up to steven to be honest about how he's feeling and not make the people around him try and guess, even though i do understand his desire to not let anyone know.

 its not that the ppl around him don't care/notice, its just that they trust him to be telling the truth when he says he's okay. And he's not!! Arghghghghgh the ANGST

So, on one hand, I get why she left (that had been so unexpected/hard/scary/awkward for her too) and she DID need to study and they probably both needed time apart (my mans cried in a ditch all night) but on the other I'm like CONNIE, studying can wait another hour gotdamn lmfao

But i am scared that if the corrupt!steven theory is true, the crew might choose the “romance saves all” plotline which...just isn't my cup of tea and not what i want for Connie tbh, and i fucking Love connverse

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish that Connie's trauma gets addressed too because most of the stuff that happened to Steven happened to her too and she was two years younger than he was. Like if steven was Baby, she was Babi, you feel me? Like, she watched her best friend almost die so many times!!!! She almost died so many times!!! Almost starved to death in diamond jail!! The white diamond thing?? She had to watch that happen!! Give Connie therapy 2020
