Originally, Graham was supposed to make banh xeo (a Vietnamese dish to represent how Madeleine is on his side)—but while researching I found that Shokugeki no Soma had done it, and after being told the rose apple tart was also in SnS, I didn’t want to overlap again

Every time I look at this panel, I hear Sherry’s “Hiii~” in Linda Belcher’s voice

I don’t know who else Jacobi dated at Dimanche but it was at least Antoine, Sherry, and a bunch of the waitstaff

Bc Madeleine was received so poorly in her own arc, I was kind of worried about bringing her back

So I was really happy that people were excited to see her!!

I kind of wanted her to be a heel, but bc of time restraints, we didn’t actually she her much at all...

Please I just want to draw more Brie and Heath

Also, Heath only wears monochromatic colors! There was a time I wanted to draw all the chefs with corresponding dog breeds, and Heath would’ve gotten a Dalmatian

This is the root of both Lucy’s and Jacobi’s fears, which is why the bubbles turn black again

No one in real life talks like this, Graham!! But an important theme, nonetheless

I only know how to tell one story

And it’s “two people with large but undefined feelings for each other just barely fail to hold hands in a tense moment to symbolize how their not quite in sync yet”

This is the only time Lucy calls him by his actual name

God I wish I’d had more time to manufacture a better reason for the cooking competition, but I knew the season had to end on ep 129 and it was already ep 122!

(REPOST BC I HAD TO REPHRASE THIS TWEET) I know people wanted Graham to punch Jacobi

But Graham is one of the characters least likely to punch another person, he’s soft and sad

(The characters least likely to punch someone are 1. the dogs 2. Olive and 3. Graham)

I really like hugs where one person holds the back of the other person’s head

In the Bartlett arc, Lucy says “I don’t think this is the sort of thing that can be fixed by another person”, and she means it like this—both she and Jacobi want Lynn, and no one else will do

Lucy and Jacobi dislike each other because they’re so similar that they constantly remind each other of the worst parts of themselves!!!

A few people picked up on it, and it’s not necessarily implying sexual assault, but this line/panel is definitely meant to suggest that Jacobi sees relationships and sex as tactics at this point—it’s the darkest interpretation of what Lynn told him

Even though his grandfather is more or less right, I wanted to show that Jacobi’s healing couldn’t be derived from his family

For Jacobi, it’s not that a dream isn’t a burden—it’s that it’s WORTH the burden

I gave up on being subtle about Jacobi and Lucy’s parallels

I really enjoyed having a moment when Jacobi’s self-assured facade breaks

Jacobi in this moment is meant to be like Lucy at the brink of losing her grandmother’s cooking school

I wish I’d had a better grip on Jacobi’s family situation—like I feel like I didn’t strongly convey that even though they are fond him, their absolute refusal to support his dreams when he’s doing poorly or accept his help when he’s doing well is bad??

This isn’t meant to be v noticeable, but when Jacobi is using his photographic memory, the reflection in his eyes is usually the thing he’s remembering!
