“-and may you be dead to the world and everyone in it, never to be seen again!”

Her words didn't fully sink in until they stared at me, trying to conceal their growing panic. They asked, begged me if I saw someone else on my way here. A white robed pilgrim, or perhaps a cookie with long hair and a lily staff. I'll never forget their faces when I told them no.

and then she starts choking how cats do when they lick your hair.

Here's the official Kid Leo refs for this arc, and possibly the remainder of the comic!! I find these outfits easiest to draw, so I probably won't change them :) If I do, however, i'll make another ref :3

Closeups of everyone are below the cut:

SO this is inspired by the fic « I don’t smoke » that RobinInHell (or @mollies-no1-bitch on here) is currently writing!!! (sorry abt the tags on every platforms btw😭 lmk if this is a bother!)

Mollie visits the convenience store where Sodayo works… he usually gives her a lot of free stuff and some extra money <333 hes such a sweet boy and cares so so much for her, especially after her accident. I dont wanna spoil all the fic i recommend u go read it tehe

there was a mention of Sodayos « partner » at some point… and i (maybe selfishly) thought it might be me………. so i wanted to draw me visiting him during his shift 😋 while i was drawing i had so much thoughts about a real life, college life AU, outside of the pokemon world. Sotim working part time at the store, while he works on his personal blogs and maybe even music band…… hes def a theater kid annnd passionate for photography of course, and taking journalism classes he somehow has time for (tho he skips a lot of the other classes).he does so much stuff in a day and doesnt want to settle for an office job lol… energetic boy

and and theres his weird girlfriend that he kisses at the back of the store….. and and we sit outside during his breaks and i bring him lunch while he tells me all about his packed and exciting days, showing off his pictures and talking about his friends at college. and Jude would also be in college, probably taking similar classes and working part time in clothes stores, but she doesnt manage to hold jobs for very long…and when he gets a little free time we hang out at his place (maybe a place we share….) or with Friede, who hes friend with… sodayo often dragging us where he wants to go that day, buying his friends and partner whatever they want even tho he barely has any money… OH and dont get me started on the mention of the upcoming summer break omggg, im gonna ramble forever, but ill probably do that part in a later drawing if the chapters mention that…tehehhehehhehe anyways

i love so so much when people write sotim well🩷🩷 it means soooo much to me, and the whole fic is so well written. i cant wait to read more and most likely draw more inspired by it!!! I think Jude and Mollie become friends… i mean, mollie might not feel like it at first, just seeing her as « sodayos partner » and tired of seeing them kiss on the clock BUUUT they can warm up to eachothers. jude will show her that shes sweet and nice enough to tolerate💕

TOUGH ONE THERES A TON OF SICK MUSHROOMS OUT THERE. Gotta go with bleeding fairy helmet tho... sick ass name and I'm a BIG fan of mycena they're very cutesy . I KNOW ITS STEREOTYPICAL but i like whimsy i like cuteness ok . sometimes it's ok to be basic
