Some Zern things
- Zern does not like fiction, he almost exclusively reads history books. He can be coaxed into consuming media if it’s framed as historical fiction.
- this means he would only like games like Civilization and Europa Universalis.
- He has an ungodly spice tolerance and loves very spicy food and snacks. His favorite snack is fruit sprinkled with chili powder and salt.
- doesn’t like coffee, he only drinks hot mint tea.
- Wears slippers indoors. To be loved by Zern is to have him keep a pair of slippers at your place.
- Loves sitting on the floor with pillows and blankets. Does a majority of his schoolwork on the floor. As part of his customization of his dorm space, he requested a futon on the floor and a low table with pillows in the main room.
- Flies everywhere when he can. Has hopped out of his dorm window when he was in a hurry.
- Has the most immaculate handwriting. His lecture notes are so fucking beautiful.
- Loves fountain pens.
- His favorite areas of history is agriculture and homesteads, the greatest joy he finds in history is feeling that connection through the ages where he can see people acting like people. Graffiti, personal objects or the evidence of people caring for each other. He doesn’t super care about historic wars.
- is an incredibly skilled technical caster. He has a very strong grasp on the Weave and how to manipulate it to the point even Mordenkainen has called him a first-class abjuration caster.
- A bit of a know-it-all, and can come off as a bit rude and crass in discussions of arcane theory but in reality he forgets himself in his excitement.
- a bit disappointed becoming one with occulus was such a nothing event given how much he built it up in his head. He’s pretty happy about it regardless.
- Is a polyglot and speaks very many languages with interesting proficiency. Loves languages.
- won a pestling stuffed animal during his first day at Strixhaven, and still has it, at year 3, that he sleeps with. It’s gotten pretty flattened because he uses it as a pillow.

You won't reach a point where you don't need references anymore 😭
Even artists who freedraw regularly still do studies, refer to their past work, keep character sheets at hand, etc
Please don't impose that expectation on yourself just because of a live demo, tiktok, or timelapses especially
#use references#even if you think you know what it looks like#you should always use references#do you know how much shit you get professionally if you tell your lead or director you didn’t use references#you will never not need references#use them

oc asks that reveal more than you think
Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?
Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?
Ask them to describe their love interest.
Do they look good in red?
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?
Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?
What age do they most want to be right now?
They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?
Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?
Name one thing their parents taught them.
Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?
What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?
If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?
Do they like children?
Kissing: tongue or no tongue?
Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?
What do they like that nobody else does?
What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?
Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?
Stability or novelty?
Honesty or charity?
Safety or possibility?
Talent or effort?
Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?
Would they date a fixer-upper?
What recurring dreams do they have?
What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

I said, "Hey mister, hey, if you're going my way
I could sure use a way out of this place
Hey mister, hey, he's coming around
and I could sure use a ride out of this town"
More Zern/Occulus stuff, inspired by "Hey Mister" by Poor Man's Poison, sent to me by @todaytomorrowgiraff
symbolic of them needing each other, reaching out to each other, intrinsically bound together, while the pose references "The Creation of Adam" as they're strung together, creating something entirely new.

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.
The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.
Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.
I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)
Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.
#I had one person who left lengthy comments on each chapter and live updated as they were reading#and I cannot tell you what a wonderful feeling that was

The World Upright; Completion, integration, accomplishment, travel
So fun development; Zern has, unbeknownst to him, merged fully with his patron Occulus, the six-armed blade and exiled Daemogoth.
Upon realizing it, he also realized he wasn’t any different than he was yesterday. He’s just changed. He just is both of them, and remembers both of his lifetimes.
Through unlocking Occulus’ memories, they could find common ground in their shared experiences.
In the end, Occulus got what he wanted; change and to be something more than he was created to do.
And Zern as he exists now is an expression of that self-fulfillment and self-love.
He is now his own patron.
Thank you to my DM for this baller development omgggg

Fun development in dnd; after unlocking parts of his patrons memory, Zern has grown closer with Occulus and can now manifest part of Occulus’ old form once per long rest.
Fun fact; their pact has the two of them slowly grow closer and closer, they will slowly cease to be and form a wholly new person!
Fun!!!
(Zern is a hexblade warlock from a Strixhaven campaign, his patron is a daemogoth who is sealed in a sword)
