new-to-me #928 - Grandpa Was An Emperor

Me: ... Crap!

Mother, May I? This is canon to TOA (which I really need to get back into). Addi's relationship with her mother would be rocky at best. Constance (Connie) Marks is an A-list high class woman who expects nothing but the finest and total obedience for those around her. Including her only child, Adeline. When Addi comes home with a pamphlet to West Coast Tech along with an acceptance letter, her mother is furious, saying her place in life is to marry well and continue the family line and traditions as a trophy wife. Addi becomes upset and refuses to bow down to her mother's will any longer and decides to leave home shortly after graduating. She become a student at West Coast Tech where she will inevitably meet Stanford Pines. Will be doing a prequel comic of sorts to Tale of Adeline. Co-written by @scipunk63 so look out for that!

(Constance is @hntrgurl13's creation and the mother of Adeline Marks. She will make an appearance in our upcoming prequel, sometime in the distant future.) The window in one of the many upstairs bedrooms creaked loudly throughout the centuries old and wide manor, forced open by a pair of common hands whose only task should have been polishing silver. But that's what Constance "Connie" Marks seemed to get whenever she allowed her husband to hire a member of the staff. An untrustworthy butler (or maybe it was one of the maids this time), who would assist her rebellious daughter in breaking curfew and sneaking out against her wishes just to look at the sky. It was almost as if her role as her daughter's mother didn't mean shit to them. They did what they wanted to reer HER child, acting as if she was just as absent as James constantly was. But she wasn't. She stayed cooped up in that manor just as much as Adeline did. She read that stupid pamphlet for that far off college. She had decided in that very manor that as Adeline's mother, she would NOT be attending that school. And that brat argued with her, as if she had a say in things after everything she had done! "She thinks she can sneak out of MY manor, break MY rules, and then mouth off to ME and still get what she wants!?" Constance exclaimed when she found the pried open window she had been looking for. It had been the one in her daughter's bedroom, of course. Though, a thick set of nails fixed it up to never open again. If she wanted to get back in, she'd have better come through the front door. "And that's exactly what she'll do if she wants her things." With that, two servants were ordered to pack a large suitcase of her daughter's clothes (all of which, SHE had gotten for her.) "If that girl wants to pretend that I don't exist, then I'll do the same to her." Constance huffed, settling into a chair that she had placed by the door, directly behind the suitcase. The shocked look on her daughter's face when she slipped through the front door had almost been pitiful. For a moment, Constance had almost believed that her daughter may have actually been sorry for herself. But no matter. "You want to pretend that your own mother doesn't exist? Then go ahead!" With that, the suitcase was kicked in Adeline's direction. "I've packed up your things, so do whatever the fuck you want on your own!" "M-mo-!?" She looked at her mother as though she had grown a second head. "Mom, let's tal-" "Oh? So NOW I'm your mom? Now what I say means something to you!?" Constance stood up in a fury. "Get out of my house! I'm done dealing with your bullshit and taking care of a child who won't listen to me!" "Mom-" "GET OUT!"

GRANDPA WAS AN EMPEROR, directed by Constance Marks, 2021.

Meet James and Constance Marks!!! AKA, Addi’s parents! Constance is more prim and proper while James is more laid back and friendly. Addi is a daddy’s girl.
