CONTAINS SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

"Mary Jane" by Alanis Morissette is dedicated to ma baby girl Poppy.

I've loved "Mary Jane" for the longest time - 2 decades now?? I feel like I wrote the character Poppy with the song constantly at the back of my mind. And I'm overjoyed that after so long, I've finally gotten a chance to share this character I've created with everybody else. It gets me very emotional every time I listen to it and think about Pops. Even though Tora's the star of the show (apparently 😂), I love my silly child just as much - or maybe more - and with all my heart. She may not be the smartest or the bravest, but she's a good, honest, hardworking girl.

Your sneak peaks make my day! Especially after a really tough month at work!

Brandie

I like how soft and cuddly she can be. She is relatable, poor Tora doesn’t have that in his life.

Miranda King

Poppy is such a cutie 😍😍😍

Brooke C

I think Poppy is the star. We may lust after Tora, but I'd bet most of us identify with Poppy.

Lilydusk

For real tearing up because I'm just so overwhelmed with feelings. That this character I've loved and treasured for so many years is now loved and enjoyed by so many people. Thank you all, truly and deeply.

Brooke C

What I was trying to say is that Tora is a fantasy and Poppy seems real. She anchors the story in a way Tora never could on his own.

Janice Angelica

Really, all the sneak peeks are killin me softly

I have a lot of love for poppy. I feel like the way she is written there is still so much I don't know about her personality and I love that her character is slowly fleshing out and I'm seeing more sides to her as the story progresses. Maybe it's just me but I feel like poppy is more mysterious than tora despite her being more of the main character

RpG

But is tora hiding there somewhere

Lily, I can't tell you enough how talented you are and beautiful your work is. And I love how much this means to you because I think that when you're really good at writing fiction, you put parts of yourself into your work. And that's what makes it so real and endearing.

Caitlyn Blanton

Poppy is adorable and I'm feeling her mood rn 😴

Lisa Goerlitz

I am so excited for this next episode!!!

Penstemmon

I’m not gonna look... I’m not gonna look... aw she so cute! I want it all to be a surprise when the episode gets posted but I have no self control. 😅

Tris

I bet Tora would love nothing more than to jump in bed and cuddle her 😚

Nlinz

She is so precious!!!!

Izzy Stark

I’m a HUGE poppy fan!!! I feel a lot of kinship with her, I think we have a similar mindset in terms of social interaction. It actually means a lot to me that there’s a character out there that are like me

Courtney Boylan

I LOVE Poppy! Though now I understand why. "She may not be the smartest or the bravest, but she's a good, honest, hardworking girl." That about sums me up, too (plus the love of books!). 😂 But in my mind, Poppy is a badass in her own right, and I'm so excited to watch her character develop and see her story and hope that one day I can be half as cool as she is. I LOVE that there are characters like Poppy in the world. She's so relatable!!!

Nik Ribble

Oh, don't get me wrong, Tora is an absolutely gorgeous man and we all love looking at him.... But this story wouldn't be what it is without our dearest Poppy! She is so sweet, honest, hard-working, cute, silly, and she's the one bringing out the side of Tora that we all want to see! Poppy is our adorable cinnamon bun and we will love and protect her, always!

Katerina Mckinley

I'm gonna miss mlp. But I like both stories so I'm also excited to start up ab agian

Nlinz

Why am I cryin in the club rn

Lilithe

I just love the two hahaha maybe it's stupid but I have the impression of seeing the relationship on both sides of my personality that quietly ripples to be one! Without forgetting that Tora looks disturbing way to my ex and I clearly recognize myself in Poppy! Maybe that's why I'm totally hooked hahaha !!! So thank you Lilydusk !!!!!

Victoria

Poppy is such beautiful character ❤️ her resolve to do the right thing, no matter how much she needs to stretch her courage is really inspiring. It is so nice to see a character that has innocence and grit all packaged in one, while her gentleness is so healing for someone like Tora ❤️

Lady Cocoapebbles

Sooooooo is that Totoro behind her bed?!? Cause I loooovveee him. 😂😂❤️❤️

Mishka Athena

OMG, I've loved that song since the album came out! It's always tugged at my heartstrings ❤️ I can see how you characterized Poppy with the song in mind. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

Harveybirdman

Poppy really resonates with me because I am not honest or gentle. My pride gets the better of me and I hate feeling vulnerable. My personality is very similar to shin-ae from I love yoo if you all know that webtoon. I did the personality test and we actually got the same personality type. I don’t open up to people or see the good in others. I’m skeptical of kindness and I hate relying on others for anything so poppy is literally the essence of how I wish I was and it is nice to be able to see things through her eyes.

Rose Hazard

You forgot the little drool at the corner of her mouth.

Nlinz

Saying how much you love your silly child as she’s sleeping in this panel made my heart grow six sizes😭😭

Lilydusk

Out of curiosity, does anyone feel that female mc = female author (or like the author is writing about herself)? Poppy and I are as different as night and day apart from a few traits like being extremely forgetful and careless. But she embodies all that I've ever wanted to cherish and would lay my life down for. Which is why she's so precious to me. Also why I think I can channel Tora's desire to protect and care for her really effectively. OTOH tora represents everything that I've ever wanted to shag

Ash Rose

Alanis Morissette! I didn't think people still listened to her. Fantastic song choice for Poppy. Actually, all your song recommendations have been spot on. Tbh I wanna creep on your playlists now because I bet they're 🔥🔥🔥 😆

Nina Castelmonti

Theeese precious illusions in my heaaad did not let me down when I was defenseless and parting with theeem is like parting with iiiinvisible best friendsss -This precious Illusions song by Alanis- This song was runing my head years and years too, and i love it. I should heard Mary Jane now ;)

Brooke C

Totally off topic here. You know what would be hilarious? If Tora ends up in the restaurant from episode 8 at some point and the little old couple there hear's his name and goes ape shit on him. Hehehehe.... while Poppy is there and she's all like, "What did you do to that sweet old couple you brute?"

Rachel Akau

I can totally see "Mary Jane" in Poppy!

Emily Basso

She’s a precious angel 😭🥰 I think she brings out the protective side in all of us. She looks so open and vulnerable ❤️
