OKAY BUT THE MOONWEAVER IS EXACTLY HOW I PICTURED HER I'M SO EXCITED!! Meeting with this tiefling's bright soul to give him tarot readings and try to offer some sort of cryptic comfort--setting the stage for pretty dreams and telling sweet stories that begin with the childhood wonder and fantasy of Once Upon a Time. Being equally amused and pleasantly surprised by this soul who finds his way to her door again and again.
There's also something I love about her bit of confusion at the final resurrection, her soft admission of, "What comes after thrice upon a time?" It feels like a 3 card set, past present and future, but now there's another card in the mix and she's never done a reading like that. But still so excited and happy and welcoming Molly and Lucien's shared souls like an old friend.
I don't know, I just absolutely adore the Moonweaver and this is always the kind of relationship between her and Molly I imagined. I especially love the implication that Sehanine is absolutely the beautiful woman Kingsley kept asking about, the one who gave him good dreams and told him secrets. It makes me really happy, that this Circus Man has found his way back to his moon goddess again.
And there's just something so perfectly beautiful about the Moonweaver drawing Love as Molly/King/Lucien's final card--and not just any depiction of it, but Mollymauk Tealeaf's own hand painted vision of Yasha. It says so much, that the Moonweaver lets him have this glimpse of the past, of what still anchors his heart back to the present, and when he wakes again the first word on his lips aside from his desperate cry of Empty is Love.
And it really cements to me that Molly's soul shard isn't gone; he's here, relearning the world around him and how the pieces of his and Lucien's lives can fit. It means something to me, that Mollymauk's heart is still there, still beats for Yasha and the rest of his loved ones. That him and Lucien joining together isn't someone taking away his body against his will, banishing him from the world--it's him willingly offering Lucien the chance to come back with him, to come back and try all over again. Molly's soul getting to live on with the Mighty Nein.

Mollymauk Tealeaf- a true king
I’m so happy with how this turned out. The guy who sat next to me while I drew this asked me if I was drawing Joseph’s technicolor Dream coat.
