Man, moving half way across the world sounds tough tho! I'm sure her parents had their reasons, but, idk, even if they came to the wrong conclusions, it doesn't seem that rational to move a girl whose struggling with change to a different part of the world to live with someone she barely knows, in a country whose language she doesn't speak??

I literally joined your patreon because I was so worried about Connie, so I'm glad it all worked out!

I can answer that question to get Connie far away from the center of trouble. Everything bad started happening when they allowed her to start spending time at Beach City. In their minds she’ll be far safer far from Beach City. This is of course incorrect but the human mind works wonders with emotion over true logic.

It would be pretty interesting to see something like Nightmare Hospital but with WD! Steven!

I don't really understand Mr. and Mrs. Maheswaran's logic here. They think Connie is lashing out due to the trauma of being forcefully moved to a new place, so they're... forcefully moving her to a new place. In an entirely different country. To live with someone she doesn't know. Where she doesn't speak the language. What? I mean, I can kinda understand their fear regarding the quakes and the Cluster emergence. But they seem mostly worried about the emotional impact moving to Delmarva has had. And their plan is to do the same thing they have assumed hurt Connie, all over again, except worse this time. Then again, all that could kind of be the point; they're so worried, that they're scrambling to take control of Connie's choices and behaviour. This has very blatantly been a theme for a while; one's choices and behaviour is not for others to control. They're so desperate to regain that illusion of control (even though they think and feel like they're doing it for Connie's sake) that they're not considering the real effects of their actions, only the imagined ideal outcome. And they'll be harming their daughter far worse for it. If this move actually goes through, Connie is WAY more likely to ACTUALLY develop control issues. In a way, they're absolutely projecting their own fears onto Connie, here. They're lashing out because they feel they've lost control.

This was so sweet, their friendship means the world to me X3

Oh thank goodness lol, I figured that was one she wouldn’t be able to hide or getaway with casually not mentioning.

Chekhov

That's just shading, don't worry!

That’s…not a new crack on Earl’s neck I’m seeing, right? 😭

Sans so cool So cool

okay then

Chekhov

Like I said, if you accidentally selected it at the beginning of your patronage, then yeah, it's all fine! It's supposed to be cheaper. :)

Sans so cool So cool

its only costing about 20 dollars per year. im not gonna say the exact amount im just checking that this isnt a bug

Chekhov

There is an option to be charged per year, but I think you have to manually select it when you first sign up. 🤔 As far as I know it's slightly cheaper?

Sans so cool So cool

hey if im only paying per year and it isnt a bug im fine with it

Sans so cool So cool

is it a bug??? im getting charged per year. not month. is it a bug or something else i only just noticed it

Friosis

Perhaps it might be time to just tell the truth. Not like things could get worse.

Dresden

OK, first off, this is beautiful! You made my day with this 😊Glad Connie's back and that the issue was resolved, though it'll be interesting when her parents eventually meet Steven and realise what's going on, and Steven visiting Connie will be neat (if shown). Thanks again for this!

Sesharan

Extremely gratifying to have my theory about Steven’s tech power be confirmed! I’m definitely not focusing on that to avoid being overwhelmed by the emotions!!!

If they had the lion it would be so much easier Dx Rose needs to learn how to share >:| /j

Chekhov

Why do you assume the place they're sending her to is dangerous?

Tokki

Her parents aren't the brightest either. Sending her from one "dangerous" place to another dangerous place

Cleo

Sniffle, love this so much. Great work like usual!

Uria, Lord of Searing Games

The fact that this may mean that we're beaming asks directly into Steven's brain/gem is equal parts hilarious as it is unfortunate. Hope the poor kid has a good spam filter

Texas Gent

I say Connie should just rebel, her parents honestly can’t do squat

Indigo

Even though Steven came up with a solid plan to keep in touch I DON'T WANT CONNIE TO BE PUT THROUGH A MOVE!! ;_; That's gotta be so frustrating, no wonder she kept everything to herself. I can see how her parents came to this decision but hrrrrrg I'm so invested in how this works out 🥺
