Just realized that in her voice lines, Lorelai keeps talking about how her family was destroyed by flames and how she's gonna avenge them, then there's Molly's trauma with fire….this suddenly got a lot more tragic.
molly is fucking terrified of fire, has misophonia towards fire alarms, has no mother, and lives in the top floor of her family's store. there's something going on there 100%
REALLY HOPE JELLY KNOWS: The Book-Idea to save Money and bring out Content is a nice idea, but i wanna say then that theres online-help for Authors! Not only Websites like Grammarly and TH-camrs like Reedsy and Krimson Rogue can help, but just in general: dont you forget basic stuff like 'Set-up and Payoff' and 'Show, dont tell!'. You may think it doesnt make a difference and writing-advice is not so important, but you'd be wrong!
During Lorelai's preview voice lines she says, "This is for al the lives you've stolen with your flames and this is for my family, who you BURNED" and at then beginning of the video she is standing on a pile of toys with fire crackling in the background (The toys probably represent her family's toy store). In season 1 Giovanni and Molly fight Sylvie (who has the ability to turn people's dreams to life) and creates and surrounds Giovanni and Molly with fire. Molly is scared by the fire and clutches to Giovanni's side in fear whilst crying. I have a theory that Molly and Lorelai's mother died in a fire via Arson since we already know she is dead based on a conversation in season 1. Molly is scared of the fire because of the death of her mother and Lorelai seeks revenge on the person who killed her, thus the preview quote. Though, this is just my theory. Also Lorelai is based on a rabbit, and Molly is based on a bear which I think is pretty cool
Another thing I want to mention is how when Giovanni re-introduces himself as Vincent Murder he says, “You may have know the ghost of my former self but HE IS GONE! Cast into THE FLAME and reborn like a Phoenix.” Considering he has joined the new bad guy group I think the main villian(s) of the story are going to have a fire motif and are the ones who killed Molly’s mother. Edit: Perhaps rebirth/re-incarnation is a theme in the series Edit 2: I also just noticed that in the poster there are flames so fire is going to be a big theme in the series, probably
that would make sense i was a bit confused by the fire because it didn’t seem to be a thing molly would be afraid of like that just seemed out of place i couldn’t figure out why specifically fire
I actually kinda noticed the implications of the whole mother dying by fire but didn't know if anyone else thought that so yay now other people know the implications as well ☺️
The current plan seems to be going forward they are doing novels and audiobooks (the Kickstarter does have audiobook and novel unlocks for Episodes 1-7 as well), and just do occasional animations, due to the costs. I'm sure that they would love to do animated stuff, but that costs minimum around $50,000 per episode even with the limited animation style they used to save on costs.
@@georgy2596 It's not though. Its the first part of what would've been season 2. And he said if he ever made a season 2, this would be a blueprint. A book can't be season 2.

Yeah! I didn’t really like Sylvie at first, but after he started to show a more caring side towards Molly and started to tolerate Giovanni a bit more, he instantly shot up my list to my favourite character, plus his epithet is probably one of the most powerful in the series so far, even though he lost the two major fights he fought in in season 1, he still packed quite a punch, I’m honestly so exited to see him again, plus I wanna see if he’ll interact with Phoenica at some point, cause Phoenica seems to have some romantic interest into him, however since she refers to him as “Sheep Boy”, they’ve probably never interacted since Sylvie was sent to hospital to recover from his injuries, I’m just so hyped, I literally don’t care how long it takes, I’m just hyped for Sylvie
I am a watcher of the original, and I can confidently tell you she(eep)’s the best. Also our resident deep 6, Rick, is great too. There both absolutely hilarious.
So hype! Though I'm gonna miss Jay as Rick Shades, I imagine he's probably got a lot on his plate with Forgotten Indigo. Also, getting my tomatoes ready for Lorelai.

Unfortunately I can't squeal because I have several people around me who would look at me funny but I did do a silent yes and internally screamed. I can't wait for him to arrive! I hope he and Molly will team up again.
Based on anime campaign, he most likely won't be as sweet as he was in that first 4 episodes. He actually will be going against Molly if they still follow the same pattern as anime campaign, but I'll say no more.
i know this is old but... you are SO RIGHT. like, can you imagine how oblivious Sylvie would be that someone is trying to flirt with him? Phoenica could probably just kiss him on the forehead and he'd start to steam
the fact that i recognized Lorelei on sight after only ever seeing a single sketch of her on Tumblr a few months ago really says something does anyone know where the border between fan and obsessed is?
Same here. Originally I was gonna have my epithet be named Weaponlord, (named after the art of summoning weapons), I’m looking for an alternate name- like Operator.
@@GenocidalSquid typically, you don't get to choose your epithet. Even in the tabletop game, players used a random word generator and picked from one of the three words generated

@@torinthemad6250 Turns out that was only the first tier of stretch goals! There are currently 3 tiers, though funding has gotten halfway through tier 2. Still a couple weeks left, so definitely possible to go further.
Just got done listening to the first episode and am immediately in love with Epithet Erased again. I don't have a job, so I cannot donate at this time, but I'm extremely excited for what's to come next for the series. Thank you and the others so much for making this wonderful story!
Jello. In all my life I have used only unethical means to obtain ebooks, video games, comics, etc. But to support this project? You have my guaranteed purchase, I am so happy right now that it's coming back novel or whatever your team's writing and voice acting is top notch and you all clearly put love and effort into what you do so I know it'll be amazing.
As a person who had their childhood kinda snatched away, I relate to Molly's sister a lot and her epithet makes so much sense. No one can hurt her or bother her in the bubble and she gets to be whatever she wants. It helps numb the pain of trauma, it helps her forget.
BREAKING NEWS: The previous season of epithet erased is going to be novelized into two books. I repeat, thanks to Kickstarter backers the previous session is going to be novelized into two books.
Why make a book out off the first season like a get making it into a actual novel series but why make a already fully animated(take that with a grain of salt)season into a book?
I'd imagine it's more of a passive one that could be controlled in the users favor sometimes. Or maybe you can just steal the luck from someone Vriska style, who even knows.
Aside from Bugsy in Redwood Run, I believe that Yoomtah Zing, the Bliss Ocean girl that appears at the end of each arc, had a Wild Magic (basically luck-based) system in Anime Campaign, although it wasn’t an epithet. Quinton, the Anime Campaign founder of Bliss Ocean, had the epithet “bizarre”, which also used a Wild Magic system.
"A hypothetical second season would, ideally, require about 8-9 episodes of animation and a budget of around $550,000." So if we get the kickstarter to 550,000 we can get a second season??
As they have promised the book, they need to focus on that. Unlocks do also contribute to more book content, though some of them also add to other projects such as making plushies and such. However, it was mentioned on the Kickstarter that anything they is not used up in the process of crafting, producing, paying people for their work, etc, will be put towards future Epithet Erased projects. So animation is not out of the question in the future, they just need to secure a steady stream of funding before they seriously tackle that venue again.
QUICK NOTE: The Kickstarter recently got a TON of new Stretch Goals. There is still purpose to contributing, please do! The final stretch goal at 450k is a whole new animated episode! Please, if you can, donate what you are able. The more successful the Kickstarter is, the more this series’s longevity is ensured.
@@ASquared544 There are only about 40 copies of the physical book remaining and all the higher tier rewards have been claimed at the time of this post. Hopefully they may add some as they go (particularly seeing as how some stretch goals unlock new products as well).

Hey, I pledged $15, but I've never used Kickstarter before - there's never been something I wanted from it as much as this book - so, how do I receive whatever I get if/when the pledges are met and the book is made? Edit: Probably should've stuck with "when" coz whoo boy, did that Kickstarter meet its goal fast
I've just recently been getting into books for pretty much the first time, so this is great timing. Today I have spent £130 on a book and some stickers. So worth.
Nope. Not gonna cry. I must resist. Oh shit. Dunno yet if it's because I'm so happy we got more of this universe or because I miss Sylvie and Mera. Well, who cares, Molly and Gio are HERE ! And I missed them. So fucking much.
Well if it makes you feel worse (in a good, stops you from being disappointed way) Mera won't show up until the next book, and Sylvie won't have an important role until/if we get a THIRD book.
Okay, Giovanni is amazing, the plot seems awesome already and brendan blabber you did it again *fairy wing sparkle* Also Giovanni’s reverted to his original design from anime campaign
@@empoleonmaster6709 it isn’t dnd exactly also he deleted them now because epithet erased is an adaptation and it’ll spoil but you can see his original design in the trailers he posted for anime campaign
Im so happy to be able to back this, I LOVE this series and Im so glad its getting supported by the community so quickly! Can't wait to see the series!!!
Phoenica Felicity? Rick Shades? I'm so happy these characters live. I missed them. Is Nera Scuro going to be in it too? Was she Lady Mera? Is Team Peasant Poppers getting back together? Is anyone else even understanding these references? These are the questions that haunt me.
Oh I’m so glad to see that it’ll have an audiobook. Like don’t get me wrong here, the writing itself is obviously great, but the voice acting super carries it another 5 miles.
Man not much is actually known about Trixie Roughhouse except she’s actually Non binary because of they/them pronouns may have a gangster like personality but a kind heart by saving little worms of the street can’t have energy drinks of course Duh because they’re underage and they’re family has been to jail for some reason and that’s it
VINCENT MURDER VINCENT MURDER VINCENT MURDER *YES* Like not only is Giovanni bac- I mean this new cool character is being introduced but also DUDE HIS OUTFIT!!!
Hey guys, just a thought of encouragement to you all, on the official Kickstarter page, it does say that Jello would need around $550,000 to fund season two, and we have already almost broken $100,000 as of this comment 1 day into the announcement. Maybe if we raise enough funding we could convince Jello to produce season 2 along side the book.
It's definitely something. Keep in mind, donations tend to slow down after the first initial burst of a popular cause, since many of the immediately interested will pile on and others will trickle in later. It's been about a week and the Kickstarter is at about $245,000 now, which is great but definitely shows that first 24 hours of momentum has slowed down.
Probably going to get buried in the comments, but I just wanted to say, I absolutely love this show, and it really brightened my day after I had some recent issues with harassment. So thank you for the amazing show you have created ❤
*Audible Excitement* Was there during during the original streams back when it was simply Anime Campaign, and now so many years later we getting THIS! So happy this is happening
Rick seems like someone a mom tries to give an elevator speech of so people will at least "give him a chance." 😂💚 Rick's Mom: what he lacks in "normal personality," he makes up for in..."does not often bite."
BRYN APPRIL. I F**KING CALLED IT. I knew it was SOMEONE from Combatants so I watched the first episode again and Pheonica's voice was a solid match for the Princess in CWBD. Very excited I nailed that. Everyone sounds amazing, and I super cannot wait to donate to the kickstarter. This is all I'm gonna think about for the next few months. I also love that you got the Brotherhood title card VA. This book WILL be mine!

@@Dee-Mellow, Don’t try to shame people into donating, you don’t know their financial situation.
@@Dee-Mellow I literally meant I have no money for donations.
Don't worry. The stretch goals are already funded.
the fact that i recognized Lorelei on sight after only ever seeing a single sketch of her on Tumblr a few months ago really says something
does anyone know where the border between fan and obsessed is?
Fan obsessed?
Does stalking the youtube channel count as fan?
This just makes me more sad nothing like these epithets exist in real life.
I would love to have one.
This series is actually based on a Tabletop RPG game. I used to play it in Roll20, but the games were always canceled prematurely.
@@ShadowDurza unfortunately tabletop rpgs *still* aren't based in real life
Same here. Originally I was gonna have my epithet be named Weaponlord, (named after the art of summoning weapons), I’m looking for an alternate name- like Operator.
@@GenocidalSquid typically, you don't get to choose your epithet. Even in the tabletop game, players used a random word generator and picked from one of the three words generated
@@aldar8240 Ehh.. I tried. I was interested in the concept regardless... yeah fuck it. I WANT ONE TOO.
It’s not an animated second season , but I’ll gladly take more of EE in an audiobook/novel/finger puppet* format! Looking forward to it!
*I made that last one up, it sounded funny in my head.
Something must of flopped and idk how or why
I think next season should be a motiom comic.
@@insertnamehere1398 Apparently even for the limited animation style it has Brendan used a lot of his own personal money to fund it.
If you can read fast an have a lot of money you can buy the novel AND audiobook so you can see the pictures and hear the voices
@@insertnamehere1398 it didn't even flop, actually! i think it was the most popular show on VRV at some point, but they just offered so little budget that it wasn't at all sustainable for such an exhausting process
The new and returning characters all look SO GOOD AND UNIQUE AND THEIR VOICES ARE TOP NOTCH AS ALWAYS- Now excuse me while I invest the hell out of this
Never been prouder of a fandom I was in. Not even an hour passed and the first goal has already been reached XD
Now 8 have passed and we've almost reached the final goal.
@@torinthemad6250 Turns out that was only the first tier of stretch goals! There are currently 3 tiers, though funding has gotten halfway through tier 2. Still a couple weeks left, so definitely possible to go further.
Just got done listening to the first episode and am immediately in love with Epithet Erased again. I don't have a job, so I cannot donate at this time, but I'm extremely excited for what's to come next for the series. Thank you and the others so much for making this wonderful story!
Jello. In all my life I have used only unethical means to obtain ebooks, video games, comics, etc. But to support this project? You have my guaranteed purchase, I am so happy right now that it's coming back novel or whatever your team's writing and voice acting is top notch and you all clearly put love and effort into what you do so I know it'll be amazing.
Made a Kickstarter account just to back this. So excited to see the story continue!
Same
2:28 ''if you yell at him he might cry'' me too
same! And I also get bullied by 12 year olds!
@@dove-august both of those fit me
Oh my God this is going to be awesome I've waited so long for a new episode of this
As a person who had their childhood kinda snatched away, I relate to Molly's sister a lot and her epithet makes so much sense. No one can hurt her or bother her in the bubble and she gets to be whatever she wants. It helps numb the pain of trauma, it helps her forget.
ITS FINALLY HEREEEEE, ALL MY MONEY IS GOING TOWARDS THIS SERIES
BREAKING NEWS: The previous season of epithet erased is going to be novelized into two books. I repeat, thanks to Kickstarter backers the previous session is going to be novelized into two books.
also there's gonna be a prison of plastic sequel equivalent to a second s2 arc starring mera, indus, and ramsey
Why make a book out off the first season like a get making it into a actual novel series but why make a already fully animated(take that with a grain of salt)season into a book?
I am just waiting for a "luck" epithet. I would love to see how brendan plays that since all the other epithets are ingenious
Nagito from dangonronpa be like:
I'd imagine it's more of a passive one that could be controlled in the users favor sometimes. Or maybe you can just steal the luck from someone Vriska style, who even knows.
Aside from Bugsy in Redwood Run, I believe that Yoomtah Zing, the Bliss Ocean girl that appears at the end of each arc, had a Wild Magic (basically luck-based) system in Anime Campaign, although it wasn’t an epithet. Quinton, the Anime Campaign founder of Bliss Ocean, had the epithet “bizarre”, which also used a Wild Magic system.
@@Ham_991 damn even the founder has (or at least had) an epithet ?? Is there a single mundy, in this *mundy* theorist group lol ?
@@fuzya8636 yoomtah
Gotta love how this was fully funded in less then an hour lmao. looking forward to it!
That just tells you what this fandom is like
and they are godly powerful
Slimecicles epithet must be storyteller
@@marfit77 wait Charlie slimecicle is in this series or talk about it i love that guy
@@JSMask-h6b I meant Jello sorry I'm dumb
@@marfit77 oh well thanks for answering
Let's go I miss this show!!!
"A hypothetical second season would, ideally, require about 8-9 episodes of animation and a budget of around $550,000."
So if we get the kickstarter to 550,000 we can get a second season??
Sadly its not that easy buddy.
*you underestimate the power of the EE fandom-*
*while we have slumbered for many years we have risen again to support this!*
Even if we did get there amount most of that money would go into the book
As they have promised the book, they need to focus on that. Unlocks do also contribute to more book content, though some of them also add to other projects such as making plushies and such. However, it was mentioned on the Kickstarter that anything they is not used up in the process of crafting, producing, paying people for their work, etc, will be put towards future Epithet Erased projects. So animation is not out of the question in the future, they just need to secure a steady stream of funding before they seriously tackle that venue again.
@Rasmus Malmberg not if you transfer the money into a untraceable crypto currency which would leave no evidence of any illegal money being payed.
This very well may be the first kickstarter I ever donate to
"Naven smiled at him and wanted to die."
Oh, THAT'S who has ⭐️MAX⭐️ exhaustion.
QUICK NOTE: The Kickstarter recently got a TON of new Stretch Goals. There is still purpose to contributing, please do! The final stretch goal at 450k is a whole new animated episode! Please, if you can, donate what you are able. The more successful the Kickstarter is, the more this series’s longevity is ensured.
It's crazy that the kickstarter keeps getting $10,000, per day!
@@HappyGem Let’s just hope it keeps that momentum
@@ASquared544 There are only about 40 copies of the physical book remaining and all the higher tier rewards have been claimed at the time of this post. Hopefully they may add some as they go (particularly seeing as how some stretch goals unlock new products as well).
1:34 HOLY SHIT HE’S BACK
What are you talking about that clearly Vincent and not Giovanni 🙄
Господи, Джелло, какие харизматичные, да ещё и озвучка... Я была в шоке, когда увидела уведомление. Честно, я не ожидала, что Вы настооолько отнесетесь к этому. Я удивлена тем что вы делаете, ребят. Желаю удачи вам, продолжайте в том же духе.
P.S.: Я пишу этот комментарий сразу после просмотра, и, думаю, вы не против если он на другом языке. В любом я хотела сказать, что Вы и ваша команда очень талантливы и крутые!!!
I do wanna say I listened to the full audio book back in January and DAMN. It is SO GOOD. I can't watch this video anymore without thinking about all the heartbreaking moments lol
Same
Do you want a Giovanni villain song? A new fully-animated episode? Come help us meet our stretch goals!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/epithet-erased-pop/epithet-erased-prison-of-plastic
Is Team Peasant Poppers getting back together?
th-cam.com/video/bpGDJF8Py9I/w-d-xo.html..
Fuck yeah I don't have money but I want to see this
So… we’re about to break your funding goal…
Hey, I pledged $15, but I've never used Kickstarter before - there's never been something I wanted from it as much as this book - so, how do I receive whatever I get if/when the pledges are met and the book is made?
Edit: Probably should've stuck with "when" coz whoo boy, did that Kickstarter meet its goal fast
I've just recently been getting into books for pretty much the first time, so this is great timing.
Today I have spent £130 on a book and some stickers. So worth.
Nice we were able to get the Giovanni song before the kickstarter ended
Nope. Not gonna cry. I must resist. Oh shit.
Dunno yet if it's because I'm so happy we got more of this universe or because I miss Sylvie and Mera. Well, who cares, Molly and Gio are HERE ! And I missed them. So fucking much.
Well if it makes you feel worse (in a good, stops you from being disappointed way) Mera won't show up until the next book, and Sylvie won't have an important role until/if we get a THIRD book.
I'm sad I just realized you had a kickstarter for a continuation because I definitely would have supported it.
Okay, Giovanni is amazing, the plot seems awesome already and brendan blabber you did it again *fairy wing sparkle*
Also Giovanni’s reverted to his original design from anime campaign
Where can I find the D&D campaigns they were in? It sounds amazing.
@@empoleonmaster6709 it isn’t dnd exactly also he deleted them now because epithet erased is an adaptation and it’ll spoil but you can see his original design in the trailers he posted for anime campaign
@@starblade8719 re-releasing the campaign is one of the stretch goals, so they will be watchable eventually.
@@Isnochao0910 noted -~-
*Vincent
Im so happy to be able to back this, I LOVE this series and Im so glad its getting supported by the community so quickly! Can't wait to see the series!!!
Phoenica Felicity? Rick Shades? I'm so happy these characters live. I missed them.
Is Nera Scuro going to be in it too? Was she Lady Mera? Is Team Peasant Poppers getting back together? Is anyone else even understanding these references? These are the questions that haunt me.
Ah! I heard that Phoenica and Rick were characters that were used in multiple games. Are you talking about the Pokemon one?
@@adrianluis5163 Yeah. Have they appeared elsewhere?
@@dxjxc91 They've also appeared in Jello's Anime Campaign, with the Unforgotten Realms system. That's all I know though.
@@adrianluis5163 I'll have to look for that. Is it on TH-cam?
@@dxjxc91 jello took them all down because epithet is an adaptation of them and he didn’t want spoilers
I've had known Rick for less than a minute and I already adore them to an unhealthy degree
I’m really surprised to see Vincent Murder is still here considering how much Giovanni got changed around in season 1.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
WHY IS THE WRITING FOR THIS ALWAYS SO DAMN CLEVER?! HOLY SHIT I NEED MORE!!!
I hope all the upcoming books get cool trailers like this one.
I remember messaging on patreon back when the show just came out if you'd consider kickstater, I'm glad you did and this story can continue as a book!
This will be so fun! I want to get this audio book ASAP when it comes out
2:21 a mood
2:05 Ok. I feel like that confirms something tragic in Molly's family involved fire.
Oh I’m so glad to see that it’ll have an audiobook. Like don’t get me wrong here, the writing itself is obviously great, but the voice acting super carries it another 5 miles.
I have only known Naven for a few minutes, but I will protect him at all costs.
Say, did you watch the anime campaign?
@@j.p1183 why of course i did UuU
Even if he’s the narrator, I still can protecc him
I really hope this gets the support it deserves! I'm so happy we're getting a season 2 even if it's in book form
0:50 ah yes, *the energy drink incident*
Man not much is actually known about Trixie Roughhouse except she’s actually Non binary because of they/them pronouns may have a gangster like personality but a kind heart by saving little worms of the street can’t have energy drinks of course Duh because they’re underage and they’re family has been to jail for some reason and that’s it
Can't wait to get my copy!!! Listening to the audio book while following along with the PDF is gonna be a ton of fun.
1:57 sounds like the walking definition of god complex
VINCENT MURDER VINCENT MURDER VINCENT MURDER *YES*
Like not only is Giovanni bac- I mean this new cool character is being introduced but also DUDE HIS OUTFIT!!!
Wow, "Vincent Murder" looks like a really cool guy who's great at crime
I don't normally use my limited resources for kickstarters, but this series deserves it. I'll proudly support this campaign ❤
Hey guys, just a thought of encouragement to you all, on the official Kickstarter page, it does say that Jello would need around $550,000 to fund season two, and we have already almost broken $100,000 as of this comment 1 day into the announcement. Maybe if we raise enough funding we could convince Jello to produce season 2 along side the book.
It's definitely something. Keep in mind, donations tend to slow down after the first initial burst of a popular cause, since many of the immediately interested will pile on and others will trickle in later. It's been about a week and the Kickstarter is at about $245,000 now, which is great but definitely shows that first 24 hours of momentum has slowed down.
After backing this Kickstarter, I can't wait for this!
(Also Phoenica is funny as hell with the little content she's given here)
Huh, Silverstein as a s’more kaiju is something I did not expect, but heck the novelty is awesome!
Probably going to get buried in the comments, but I just wanted to say, I absolutely love this show, and it really brightened my day after I had some recent issues with harassment. So thank you for the amazing show you have created ❤
This is gonna be the first time I’ve read a book for non school purposes in a long, long time
Luckily you can listen to this one!
Looks like the campaign’s going pretty well. Congrats Brendan!
"Naven smiled at him and wanted to die."
*"ThIS iS a HUmAn mAn."*
YES FINALLY ITS OUT IM CRYING THANK YOU
1:20 OMG rick is PERFECT
Naven can read me lectures 24/7 and I wouldn't get tired or look away from him
"try to weasel past me and your friends will learn why a group of crows is called a murder"
damn scaregrow is cool
*Audible Excitement*
Was there during during the original streams back when it was simply Anime Campaign, and now so many years later we getting THIS!
So happy this is happening
Rick seems like someone a mom tries to give an elevator speech of so people will at least "give him a chance." 😂💚
Rick's Mom: what he lacks in "normal personality," he makes up for in..."does not often bite."
"Rick Shades" is already my favorite character
If this one does well, perhaps a s1 adaptation could happen? I’m gonna need the full set
Spelling Bee is just what I imagine people are when they find an error in an argument
I just noticed that Rick's name has quotation marks before it
BRYN APPRIL. I F**KING CALLED IT. I knew it was SOMEONE from Combatants so I watched the first episode again and Pheonica's voice was a solid match for the Princess in CWBD. Very excited I nailed that.
Everyone sounds amazing, and I super cannot wait to donate to the kickstarter. This is all I'm gonna think about for the next few months. I also love that you got the Brotherhood title card VA. This book WILL be mine!
I’ve only known Rick for 14 hours but I’m already preparing to be obsessed like I was with Giovanni all over again
gaahh!! the new designs! they're so AMAZING!! props to Rhea and everyone else involved for making some once again just all around pleasing designs!

Thx jello and crew for making this
I missed epithet erased :'D
Lorelai's freckles are confetti sprinkles as opposed to Molly's cosmic sprinkles in her hair.
Every since I saw this on VRV a year ago I have been waiting for some kind of continuation. Thank you for finally making it happen
