In my head, this is the first time Graham thought Lucy was cute (before she was just like a weird goblin) #GHliveblog
Poor Jamie, he just kind of got yeeted out of the story when the Carlisle arc was cut...... RIP #GHliveblog
I really enjoy sequences where characters are cooking while having a conversation—it has a cozy “home cooking” feel to it! #GHliveblog
A major tenet I tried to follow in writing GH is that Lucy is more than her sense of smell, and Graham is more than his ability or inability to cook
Let’s 👏 complicate 👏 things!! #GHliveblog
I love this episode because the comments section was all people talking about king cakes/galette des rois and Rosca de Reyes/Mardi Gras and the creepy baby which was SO FUN
People talking about their food traditions around the world is just?? So cute and good??? #GHliveblog
Instead I wanted it to be framed as “You can’t control your jealousy—you can only control how you act upon it. And even if you don’t react perfectly, there’s value in learning from your mistakes and doing better next time.”

It was important to me that even the sweetest character has ugly feelings
I didn’t want the message to be “Don’t feel jealous of your friends’ success, if you do you’re a bad person”—bc that’s nearly impossible, your not “bad” solely for having bad feelings! #GHliveblog
FUN FACT I threw in the teacup metaphor very last minute, like after the rest of the episode was finished!
I needed to beef up the episode a bit, and I love visual metaphors in works like in March Comes In Like a Lion and Haikyuu, so I tried to dabble! #GHliveblog
Like Brie immediately deciding to help when she heard Lucy was on her own, I wanted GH to have women naturally supporting women without it feeling self-congratulatory
I’m sure I lapsed into misogynistic jokes every once in a while, but I tried my best not to!

It was important for me to establish early that even though they’re all gourmet chefs, the aspect of food I wanted to focus on wasn’t price or skill, but “home”
I tapped my experience of missing Hawaii food while in undergrad in Nebraska to make it feel more genuine! #GHliveblog
