Nikki was supposed to go shopping for a dress with her mom, but fate seems to have other plans...

This was a very fun episode to write. 😊 28 pages! Yay! And the art was challenging but fun, too. There are some emotional / dramatic moments in this one that resonated with me, and I hope they resonate with you, too!

Next episode is very important - you'll be voting on Nikki's dress for her date with Zach! ❤️

I love #Teamlaurikki!.... I like that Lauren isn't malicious with Nikki, just a bit playful. And Evie is going to get a lot of play! I think it's a really cool plot twist that Evie and, slowly but surely, Lauren believe that Nikki is trans, misinterpreting all of Nikki's words - until they discover the truth - this is going to provide some really fun and interesting moments. And it's not the girlfriends who always know, ¡it's the Mums! she's picked up on Nikki's hesitation in talking about her dad. It's going to be a very interesting conversation that she's left for later, let's hope it's sooner rather than later and she's back home with Mum! Nikki needs him... badly! And I really liked in the conversation with Ron, when he explains why he wears the Jane Straps, the 'eggs' thing, I don't know if in the USA it also has a double meaning (eggs/testes), I imagine it does and that's what you were looking for, I had a good laugh with that. One small doubt Emory, in render 21, when Nikki and Ron are in the bathroom, Nikki is surprised that Zach hasn't gone to training and leaves Ron's question with hesitation, are you leaving us with a little breadcrumb that something is going on with Zach and that's why he didn't answer her messages, or was it just a conversation? With you, I'm already looking for the three cats' legs to everything. 😉 Great work as always!

Oh gosh, yes, this is all the little development teases on these characters that I wanted coming off of the last part... I love seeing that Lauren actually DOES care a lot, even if she does tease about the "hormone imbalance" situation. Hearing more about the deal she made with Nikki's mom, clearly she doesn't hold any real ill will or want Nick/Nikki to actually get hurt or found out. Interesting twist that it was Nick's mom who convinced her to break up with him way back when! She really was deep in that childhood sweethearts fantasy... I really feel for her a lot now, which just makes me want her and Nikki to patch things up even more. Meanwhile, it's hard to argue Evie's logic for trans girl Nikki! Not without critical context that Nikki isn't giving up anytime soon, lol. I love the concept of a gothy cheerleader btw, and it's fun how unabashedly thirsty she is already. I see you checking out Nikki's booty, girl~. So much fun stuff to work with for these characters, I hope Nikki gets the support she needs out of all of them! Once she stops trying to fight it so hard-!

Thank you, CK! 😊 You're definitely on to something about Zach. It's not just a throwaway conversation. Nikki's surprise and the unanswered messages are indeed breadcrumbs. There's more going on than meets the eye. The "eggs" Nikki was talking about were those inside her non-existent ovaries, hehe. Oh, and I absolutely agree that moms often have an uncanny sense about these things. Nikki's mom is observant and sensitive to her child's struggles, even if Nikki isn't ready to tackle who she really is at the core of everything... Guy or girl, it's obvious she wasn't always so detached from her sweet, sensitive side.

Thank you, Phoebe! It's has been really fun to get into the relationships and backstories. Lauren's actions and feelings towards Nikki/Nick are absolutely layered with past decisions and regrets. Gosh, I really love Evie's boldness and her immediate connection with Nikki. She kind of came out of nowhere, character-wise, and popped into my head fully formed. I didn't really plan her when I sketched out Season 2, but she's quickly becoming a new favorite. Nikki's path forward is complicated as heck, fraught with obstacles both external and internal. But HOPEFULLY through these interactions she'll find her true self (whatever that might be)...and a place where she feels accepted and loved.
