Oof people got SO MAD that I used “proving” rather than “proofing”

IM SORRY, I learned all my baking from The Great British Bake Off, British people use “proving” and “proofing” interchangeably!!!!!

Still, I tried to shove in whatever interactions I could—I needed Graham to be a little more certain about his abilities before I threw Madeleine at him

I remember worrying a lot about this arc because it doesn’t focus on Lucy or Graham

I really like Heath and Brie, and it’s a necessary arc, but I was worried that people only in it for the main couple would lose interest!

What is this thing called?? A siphon??? I just remember seeing it on a competition on Food Network and only one chef knew how to prepare and use it

I wanted to contrast it w/ Brie, who’s making quenelles with simple spoons!

I didn’t have a lot of experience writing mean (like actually mean, not funny-mean) characters, so I remember cringing a lot while writing Meyer

I forgot that Lucy TRULY, NON-COMEDICALLY hated him for talking down to Brie... they’ve come a long way!

I had JUST started playing BanG Dream GBP, which is why Meyer’s holding chocolate cornets lmao

Why do the anime choco cornets in a mobile rhythm game look so GOOD

This is a subtle characterization thing, but Heath really likes flowers!

That’s why a lot of his pastries + the name and design of his bakery are flower-themed 🌸

The Smiths, I wish I could have done more with them!

(I always feel kinda weird when people talk about diversity in GH, because it took 44 eps for undeniably non-cishet characters to appear? I wish I could have been more inclusive from the start!)

And I wanted to make sure that for the first time he cooks for/with Lucy, it’s gentle and fun and un-self-conscious

It was important to me to establish that Graham is still a very good and capable chef—his disability affects him, but it doesn’t ruin him! It’s his trauma from Dimanche that hinders him most

This is the first time Lucy tastes Graham’s cooking, so I went all out with the shoujo sparkles lol

I even made my own custom sparkle brush!!

The omurice mini-arc is about the distance between them shrinking by Lucy talking about her family, and Graham disclosing his loss of smell

But also, cooking together is cute!!

The necklace!! I was careful about balancing the traits that got passed on (sense of smell, freckles, hair color, single eyelid, etc.) in the Fuji family

Then for every other family, I forgot and made the child look 100% like one parent and 0% like the other lol

In my head, this is the first time Graham thought Lucy was cute (before she was just like a weird goblin)

Poor Jamie, he just kind of got yeeted out of the story when the Carlisle arc was cut...... RIP

I really enjoy sequences where characters are cooking while having a conversation—it has a cozy “home cooking” feel to it!

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!!
