This one's for you @inquisitor-apologist she's too powerful now and it's your fault for reminding me about her sketchbook
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE I've integrated this into Lothwolfwalkers au/@lothwolfwalkers :3
In which Sabine develops this sick new dye herself from bioluminescent algea found on Peridea! In her sketchbook it says there's already glow-in-the-dark hairdye made from plankton from Mon Cala and this is all well and good but while they're stuck on Peridea for months if not years, Sabine is determined to recreate it from scratch with the Peridean variety. Like this is her new obsession.
The Noti use the algea to paint their shells for special occasions and Ezra has been waiting a decade to show Sabine bc he knows she'll love it. And he was right, Wolfbine is rolling in the stuff and running around like a puppy. It's stinky. She does not care, she is having a blast. Which she desperately needs bc I spend most of ashowka rewrite era mercilessly beating her with hammers so. LET HER HAVE THIS
Their ship is now stinky bc Sabine keeps collecting the algea to experiment with but no one's about to complain bc this is the first thing that's made her visibly happy in weeks. She's been through hell, and worse art deprived for months, she needs this to live. By the end of it she's got glowing hairdye, nail polish, spray paint, and explosives of course.
Once back on Lothal, Wolfbine has at least one loth-biologist convinced they've discovered a rare new species of bioluminescent lothwolf.
