>>113365583I have the same feeling, honestly. Connie was supposed to be some big point of connection for humanity for Steven but fails at that, she learns to fight but never does anything meaningful with it unless she's fused directly with him, and emotionally it seems to me she doesn't get and never will get the things Steven is dealing with which they even had a whole episode about prior to the point of Connie getting pissed at him, ignoring his phone calls and stealing his lion.
That part also made me stop thinking of them as a 'good' ship after the fact. SUF made it worse with her not being around between her bullshit 'study for college' thing and being away for summer camp or whatever the fuck.
