Yes, reading anything can be a hobby, especially if you count following a specific style or genre. Cass also dabbles in herbalism. She put together the healing beverage that broke the curse which turned Hiroshi into a butterfly. No small feat that given the cures was placed by an angry fae.
But Shawna is selling herself way short. She is a stabilizing influence on Castela, and while Daylla and Scarlette do a great job of keeping Cass’s ego in check and push her to communicate her fears to Shawna, it is Shawna who taught Pickle what gentle loving support feels like. She is absolutely fearless even in the face of all Castela’s power and potential, even while she fully understands the significance. She is, simply put, the best partner a teenage Stinkweed could hope to have and amazingly awesome in her own right. I’m glad to see Mindy administer the loving smack to tell her so. Very well written by Paul Taylor!
That’s nice and all, Mindy, but you should probably put those away while you’re at school. Somewhere in the building a copy of the dress code guidelines just burst into flames.
Hiroshi is just naturally detached enough that he does not suffer from the ‘drowning in their own saliva’ trope. They love each other and nothing is gonna come between them. Not ever her own powers. Of course I can see Mindy someday soon digging into Hiroshi’s mother for destroying his self esteem like she had been doing for years.
Thinking it’s time for one of the MIB amulets for Mindy. I mean, having a sparkling personality is one thing. But actual sparkles? Plus what, if anything, would be her effect on non-paras? We’ve seen what happens when succubi barely exert their liminal voice capabilities (Some time back in Mucho Mocha).
Couldn’t get a better boost to your self-esteem than Mindy thinking you’re awesome.
NeoMindy at that . . . I wonder if Shawna even recognizes her.
And didn’t we get this with Devyn and Atsali a long time ago?
And Katherine and Monica before that. Many things I love about WS, but character development is way up there.
Castela has hobbies? All I can call is her making those small and delicate whatsits she sold on Etsy…
Dunno if I’d count reading manga and watching anime as *hobbies*…
Well, she *does* pervade all of time and space. Maybe she raises Trilobites or reads Eridian poetry.

Shouldn’t She be wearing a Dosimeter? With her Shields Down, for the Count, isn’t Mindy throwing offf some Serious Rad Levels?
I believe the shields are still up: she’s wearing her glasses.
From what we’ve seen, the glamour just affects her face, and (maybe) magical pheromones. When she was closeted, she still had to bind her chest.
Mindy put your tie back on at least. You’re gonna ‘blow the brains out’ of the Male Underclassman. I’m surprised that Hiroshi isn’t with her.

What’s with Mindy’s hips? Hiroshi blow her back out that much?
No different to Stela’s in the first panel
Mindy did miss all that Castela-Hiroshi-Shawna drama, though.
🤔 When did Shawna stop putting her hair up in loops of braid❓
I don’t know but it IS an improvement!
Shawna: “That’s… that’s great! I’m happy for you. Um… (who ARE you?)”
