A little (lot-tle) shorter than I planned, but life kept happening today. I've had the mental image of this scene from the very early days of developing Sharkie as a character, and it's fun to get it down for the first time. 


Comments

Sir_Binkie

Literally been rewatching the whole series so stoked

Jesse Riska

Awwww the perfect mom and daughter moment

Ryan Hoag

sharkie is so PRECIOUS😭🥺

Basil

crying sobbing and crying again I love and relate to sharkie so much

Elle

I was so touched by the sweet pureness of this chapter. This little dynamic you’ve woven is so healing. Amazing as always.

Carrie Brooks

Aww, Sharkie finally felt safe enough to be a kid and play! 🥰🥹

Kristiane Laucht

I've always dreamt of dancing in the rain with a lover. Now I want to dance in the rain with a family. Oh, how my soul sings for this!

Thornblade

Wonderful chapter and now I get to go to Dreamland with a smile at the pureness of this. 🥰 Cheers!

Jackie

Very sweet little chapter. Just happy.

Jeff James

Dang onions. Pure joy of life, then I grew up.

Peter Psareas

I love Sharkie and Lily. Another great chapter. I hope Bel is ok.

Jenny Shaw

So sweet! I love it! I was feeling sorry for myself with a nasty cold but you cheered me right up with this story!

Nikolas

This was beautiful! Poor sharks through. No kid should feel that afraid of fun. I also would love to see when sharkie calls Lily ‘mom’ for the first time. No pressure of course.

Andy Johnson

That is exactly the good feeling I needed today to help me sleep. Thank you.

Hannah Kuracina

Aww so sweet. Then learning and playing together ❤

Melodee Glatzel-Smith

That was astoundingly sweet and precious. I love this playing in the rain scene an absurd amount. 💙💙💙 🦈

Chef Jeff

Worth the wait and life does get in the way of all good things. The deckhand that was absent-minded the other day has been tasked to be my galley btch until we arrive at the virgin islands. Head Stew read all of your chapters and she is fully invested, she is now on the tok app watching HB's.

Aj Holder

Such a sweet chapter of sharkie finally feeling safe with Lily and just having fun!

Juliana

absolutely the cutest thing i've ever read. the whole time i was thinking of an earlier episode of hells belles where lily is talking to the health insurance CEO saying she wanted to be a mom when she was alive. she is as much a mom to sharkie as she can possibly be. they both showed up in each other's existence exactly when they each needed it and i'm literally gonna cry just at the thought. nothing fills my heart more than watching these characters grow into not only experiencing but accepting the love they so deserve in the prequel and on tik tok.

Kim Bowie

That was perfect! Thank you.

Sorkabeth

That was the sweetest bedtime story I've read in a long time. (And my kids are still *just* little enough that sometimes they still let me read them bedtime stories)

Angela Wall

That was absolute perfection! Be proud of yourself ma'am! I'm sorry life has kicked you in the teeth. If you need someone to sit on it and make it stay put for you to wail on it with weaponry, let me know.

Anna Fultz

That was such a precious moment...and an important one for Sharkie. Thank you for that.

Belinda Millar

Sharkie has always been my fave hands down so getting to follow their story & development makes me so happy. Lily is a fantastic mum & the right mum for Sharkie. Hope that life gets better for you soon xxx

Joe Beccue

You can never go wrong with the sound of a child laughing from pure unbridled joy. Loved the wholesomeness of this chapter.

Deanna Miller

The innocence of Sharkie makes my heart feel better. You can just imagine how pure her laughter sounds. Lily will always be my favorite but Sharkie is a close second.

Tori Lingerfelt

This was so wholesome and I think told me a way to heal my inner child🖤🖤

Arminda Gray

Oh, Sharkie! Poor, sweet baby shark🥺 I’m a massive fan of the entire series (and am mostly here for the smut 😂), but the way you show just how much Lily loves her is one of the purest and amazing things I think I’ve ever read. You can just *feel* how Lily would crawl over broken glass through the fires of hell to make Sharkie happy. Every child deserves that kind of love and devotion. Thank you, so much, for healing a small bit of my trauma through this amazing relationship 🥰

Arminda Gray
>>108295188

I thought of that, too!!! And I’m not going to lie: I took *vicious* pleasure watching Sharkie’s foster mom get what was coming to her. The whole universe loves Sharkie; just look how many denizens showed up to avenge her. But NOBODY loves her more than Lily.

Arminda Gray
>>108294185

Oh I can barely wait for that 💕💕 I’m betting Lily has to struggle to keep from bursting into happy tears the first several times! I want a scene where Sharkie can’t sleep or has a nightmare (cause you *know* that baby has enough nightmare fuel for everyone) or something, and starts crying for Lily. The way Jaysea will be able to covey the sheer relief of a child knowing their adult will always be there will have me crying.

Aj Hawkins

Short but wonderfully sweet 🥰

Callahan Noelle Davenport

I ADORED THIS! I love them so much. Thank you for pouring such great emotion into this!

Torborg

This was such a sweet story🥰

Amanda W

I loved this the end was even a slight tear jerker! Can't wait for the next part! Keep up the good work!

Crimson leCreme

My heart aches so much for sharky but you portray what it's like to be a traumatised child so well. And lily is giving them what they need. Rewatching hells belles during the week there's the ep when bel doesn't message on returning from training and sharkie says they only saw lily freak out once, and it turned out OK... is that a hint for future escalation of the universe wars and to brace ourselves for some massive drama?

Marloes

Reading about little Sharkie and then watching them in one of your tiktoks is such an amazing experience, seeing what a long way they've come but at the same time knowing the core of their playful curious sass has always been there, even when they were tiny. I loved this chapter very much. Thank you 💛

On a separate note, you should have a design contest for “Tim”. That could be a merch item with legs, man.

Ann Sullivan

I'm bawling that was so sweet. Loved it!!!

Samantha Johnson

Short but powerful, and absolutely worth the wait. You have such a way of weaving a story and breathing life into all of the characters

Cra-Terra Barnett

When I was a young/new mom I was so worried about all the messy things, but as my son grew and I started to notice the signs that my son had Autism I had more important thing to worry about. Worrying over messy things were pushed to the back burner. I started to imbrace the here and now. Last year when my son was 7 I was sitting in my car listening to the rain while I read a book. My happy space for some reason. My son was in the car with me and when I glaced back at him I noticed him intently watching the rain. I asked him if he want to play in it because he is and has always been my little water bug. I have had many a soaked bathroom floor after one of his water excursions. He looked at me with a guarded sense of wonder as if he was afraid that just hoping about this would take it away from him. (He suffers from anxiety also.) When he slowly nodded his head I immediately smiled. I put my book down and told him to go for it. As a girl I always wish I could play in the rain but with my health issues it just wasn't possible. I still have the same issues but watching my son play in the rain that day lifted something from my soul that I hadn't know was holding me down. For a good ten minutes I watched as my son jumped from puddle to puddle, spun with his arms out and his face to the sky. Then when I thought he was done he just laid down. I watched as my son let loose a body deep sigh. He came back to the car and I knew he had done what he wanted. I took him inside and got him warmed/cleaned up and in some fresh cozy clothes, and my normally anxious son spent the rest of the day smiling and recounting his monents out in the rain. This chapter reminded me of that day and for that I thank you. It seems Sharky needed this day as badly as my son needed that day.

ITn3rd

I love this chapter and think after the fun in the last couple this just hits you more, I love this series and the Hells Bells on TikTok. Thank you for all the work you put into making this amazing content.

Sarah

This was so lovely. Can’t remember the last time I played in the rain. I’ll have to fix that.

Van Brewer

What a beautiful way to begin a day. 🥲 Well written as always but particularly touching given the subject matter. Now I’m going to reread and enjoy the sniffles. Ya know, more than most days (if that’s possible), I hope you have a really great day!

Embeth Arreyn

It makes sense that a Sharkie chapter might be short... they are, after all, a very short person. (Which is big talk coming from someone who's never seen the other side of 5' tall 😆). And you should be proud of me for being able to smile over short people sass, after what you just wrote. The tears, ma'am. Between the military wife feels and the traumatized child feels, just... oof. And once again, I'm going to praise your perfect execution and relatability. I'm constantly amazed at your ability to write/portray things which should be unfamiliar to you, and get it spot on. It's a testament to your powerful combination of imagination and wisdom. And on the subject of wisdom, as a mom who's been stressing way too much over the little things for a long, long time (anxiety in response to trauma, and the burden of being the only planner/caretaker while my husband's away with the army)... thank you for the reminder to just go play with them. To let the kids get messy and deal with it later. I used to jump in puddles so much as a kid/teenager that some older kids gave me the affectionate nickname "Puddle Jumper," but I can't remember the last time I jumped in puddles with my son, or even encouraged him to do it alone. So thank you. I'm going to take this as a sign as we head into mother's day weekend, and have a good long think about whether all the stuff that I've been focusing on is really all that important. Thank you for the reminder of what childhood is supposed to look like <3 You're amazing.

Sarah Erickson

This was the start to my morning that I needed. Thank you so much.

Amanda Carr

My heart ❤️ I love sharkie so much and am so glad that you captured this moment. There is something magical and healing about being out in the rain. Even when you're not a child. One of my favorite memories is from when I was 17 years old at summer governors school for theater. It was almost at the end and we were all super stressed as all theater people are the week before the show opens, and there came a big thunderstorm. I'm not sure who thought of it first but we all just decided to go outside and do yoga in the rain. (The program had us doing daily yoga at the time as a movement and stress relief exercise so I guess we all felt thats what we needed at the moment) It felt like the rain was just washing away all our stress and letting us just be. One of our instructors took a picture and it shows several of us standing in the warrior 2 pose in the pouring rain. It is honestly my favorite picture.

Renee Johnson

that was so wholesome and sweet and wonderful! Thank you for taking us with you on Sharkies journey, learning to live, to breathe easily, to be a kid

Rixi Urdaneta

And so another one of Sharkie’s soul wounds is healed 💕✨

Luraa Lack

Splashing in a downpour is the absolute best ! Love this scene.

BaconVader

Watching Sharkie grow and heal is a wonderful way to wake up this morning. It wasn’t short, it was enough. It was beautiful.

Hayley Church

That pulled on my heart strings the entire time!

Sweet Dreams System

I love Sharkie so much it hurts. Lily is the best person in the afterlife for them.

Makayla

Thank you for writing such magnificent shit (in a good way)

Tracy Polasek

I love it. It felt like the best hug! I needed that. Thank you.

Kristina Dopp

Jaysea, I didn’t need to cry this early in the morning! I love this so much. Thank you for sharing this story and your wonderful characters with us.

Chandra

Awww I love this so much, and I appreciate the font change as it makes it easier for my blind ass to read. Kudos as always!

_jackieeeee

You always manage to make me cry (in the best way). I love that Sharkie has Lily and that Lily has them. Another great chapter - I could see the 2 of them splashing in the rain so vividly. As always, you did awesome🙂

Thomas Forrest

The only words that come to mind as I read this chapter are “beautiful” and “longing”. Beautiful is self explanatory (because MY GOD what a chapter ❤️🥺), but longing because this type of small and seemingly insignificant slice of life moment is the one I yearn to have someday. I’m hopeful that eventually life will fall into place and I can have a love and family to call my own. I want to have and experience and savor these small moments that mean so much. Thank you for giving me the hope that lets me believe that even if for whatever reason this dream doesn’t come true in life, it exists as a possibility in the afterlife. Thank you, and please never stop.

Nicole M

This was so sweet. I love the pinky promises to help Sharkie do something trauma related. These mother/child moments are so precious.

Matthew

All the feels

Judy Sullivan

Such a wonderful chapter! I could almost hear the rain and giggles.... found a couple oopsies: Page 2: where they’d originally been told without causing Page 6: The rain had been heavy and constant

Kat 💜

"I like you and me." OH, sweet baby 🥺 Lily is SUCH a good Mama 💜

Ellie

Thank you, this chapter made me smile.

C Williams

The beginnings of the loveable and carefree Sharkie. Love it. Also, a great way to wake up.

Kaylie

Of course I’m reading this as it’s storming outside and a friend just told me to log off of work to go play in the rain. 😂 Nothing is as soul healing as playing with no care in the universe. Wonderful chapter!!! Can’t wait for more ☺️

Delia Isaac

My whole heart!! That dancing in the rain scene!! Sharkie's vulnerability and Lily's openness. The one day I wore mascara to work!!! Mistakes were made!

Randi Mutchler

This whole chapter had me smiling nonstop and at the end....well...Im not crying...YOU'RE CRYING!!!!

Shawnee904

That was wonderful. Sharkie needs some fun in their life. Lily is doing great at this. I always told my kids to go play in the rain. It's fun!

Amber

❤️😭

James Vaughan

That chapter needed some kind of warning.😉 I was not prepared to be hit in the feels like that. Playing in the rain meant so much to me growing up. With that being said, it's probably my favorite chapter so far. The character growth from just that little bit is amazing.

Stephanie Della Rocca

Loved this so so much. Even as an adult playing in the rain was one of my favorite things. Makes you feel so carefree and sharkie deserves that. Can't wait for more.

jessiee

happy me = happy hospital staff. I’ve read this chapter about 9 times now and every time it makes me smile! such a beautiful chapter Jaysea - absolutely beautiful! I love the character development that is shown in this, the happiness and smiles depicted through your writing is astounding - Sharkie being so happy and them being goofy in the rain had me crying, it was as though i was there, feeling the rain and hearing the happy laughter. you are so so talented and your writing is so gorgeous, i wish for more every single sentence i read, it’s put together so perfectly and it really made today (which was horrid for me) seem so much lighter and easier to cope with. your work takes me to another place - where i’m not just a sitting lump in a hospital room being poked and prodded and pumped full of things - i’m living in a beautiful dream painted by your story. I’m sorry life seems to be throwing you so many curveballs at the moment, i know how much it sucks when that happens, here if you wanna chat about things (i’m 5 hours ahead of the US time zone tho) but always here for a chat if needed. I hope things get sorted out a bit for you soon as it sounds rough atm. Keep up the amazing work and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next! ♥️

Ivy Lyn

This is just so wholesome and wonderful ❤️❤️❤️ You’re an amazing writer!

John Baudry

Someone must be cutting onions around here. Your writing really brings out the feels, and I love it.

Scarlett_loves_Loki

Sharkie’s character is so well written. I just adore the relationship she has with Lily and Bel. This chapter was something special.

Vanessa Whitehead

Keep going. More please! Has been my repeating mantra since I re-read this chapter. The tears on my face are to be ignored. Something healed my heart.

Kelly Semon

Might be my chronically online brain but reading that last little exchange I could hear the line from “if I were a fish” in my head 😅 Overall I absolutely loved this chapter. Great contrast between Sharkie’s progress (scrambling into Lily’s lap to ask a question) and the work still left to do (trusting safety even in “rule breaking”). We love portraying healing that isn’t linear!! So good 🥹🥹

Daniel

The Sharkie and Lily scenes were written so well, I teared up envisioning it!

AD

Oh damn…. Who started cutting onions this early in the morning???? Wow. What a chapter. 🫶🏼

DndGoblin

I love it! Little Sharkie!! 🦈🌧️

OceansAlliteration

When I say that I smiled the entire way through reading this chapter I want you to know Im not exaggerating and I really really smiled the entire time. This was absolutely lovely and just the perfect dose of joy for my day. Thank you.

Sunita Buddhu

I NEEDED this today. Thank you❤️❤️

Krystle

A sweet and wholesome chapter.

James armour

I should be cooking dinner but now I'm too busy happy crying 😭

Ainsley Bowers

I love your writing more then anything in the world it never fails to make my emotions sore Your amazing Jaysea.

Amy Tarleton

Awwwwww!!! This is my favorite one so far

Leslie Hoggan

Thank you Jaysea, you managed to bring back some surprisingly happy work memories, bring in the cows for milking in a rain storm. The smell of the rain and cow, jumping in any handy puddle, and yes I was in my 30's at the time, some 3 plus decades ago.

La Yuca Mala

This was very wholesome 😊

Kim Ehret

I’m happy crying rn. It’s been awesome reading what you have written. I’m so excited to read more !

Anthony Williams

My heart needed this wonderful interlude; something utterly delightful and heart warming as a romp in rain and puddles. Thank you for this

Michelle Sanders

Every chapter feels a little bit like therapy and a whole lot like the kind of world I want to be in, with people who I like, a whole lot. Somewhere in the multiverse, by the sheer power of belief, Bel and Lily and Sharkie are... well .they just are. Head cannon fully accepted for a book only half written. Thank you. For *gestures vaguely* just all of this. All that you put into this. Thank you.

Patrick Bates

My late wife used the word lottle as a middle ground measurement! "Not a little, not a lot, just a lottle." That just brought me back 🥺🥰

Heinlein dubbed it World as Myth. And it makes as much sense as any other theology.

Felicity Shields

I want to throat punch every adult ago failed Sharkie. Every. Single. One.

Vana

Lily reminds me so much of Miss Honey from Matilda with Sharkie

Blaze Rasp

Ya can’t make me tear up like that

Samantha Pare

In the spirit of Beta reading - page 6 "The rain had be(en)* heavy and constant..." This scene in the rain healed my inner child a bit. Thank you *wipes away tears* I love this Afterlife world.
