Breeze has her reasons
(she didn't have the best childhood)

A drawing of an anthropomorphic cat and two identical snakes talking with each other.

The cat is wearing a wizard robe. The snakes have spots on their bodies and markings on their faces that kind of resemble clown makeup. They are both wearing birthday hats and jester collars.

There's a speech bubble pointing at both of the snakes that says, "So, tell me! How do you celebrate your special day?".

There's a speech bubble point at the cat that says, "Well, I...don't.".

The snakes have exaggerated shocked faces.

There's a speech bubble pointing out of frame that says, "I-it's not that big of a deal.".

Should I start mentioning that I'm on discord?

I'd rather not get messages and friend requests from strangers but friends and mutuals are welcome to contact me there.

Perhaps there are magical beings that perfectly match her assumptions but those aren't the ones that notice her. She gets noticed by the ones that challenge her in different ways intentionally or not.

Breeze doesn't celebrate her birthday. Now, she has to deal with a birthday-loving immortal.

I like the idea that Breeze keeps getting the attention of magical beings that aren't what she expects them to be at all. She thought meeting one would be an opportunity to learn new magic stuff or prove herself as a wizard.

Nope! Birthday snake antics!

Yeah, there's probably no point in arguing with an immortal snake.

Thank you!

The idea started simply with "silly snake" and grew from there. I eventually decided to make her a magical character who isn't malicious but could still cause problems for Breeze. Perhaps I will draw more of her birthday antics in the future.

Since I brought up magical beings recently, I thought I should start making some for the world of my wizard project.

It's actually uncertain if she's a two-headed snake or just two snakes. No one has ever seen all of her at once. Asking her won't help either.

DanStillCreates @danstillcreates.bsky.social · 1d

Here's my idea:
A magical two-headed snake who loves birthdays and unexpectedly visits mortals to celebrate theirs in her own strange way.

(It is not Breeze's birthday)

A drawing of a pale blue anthropomorphic cat and two identical snakes.

The cat is wearing a blue wizard robe. She is being held up by the snake's tail and just staring like she's shocked and confused. There are question marks around her head.

The snakes are white with pink spots, markings on their faces that kind of resemble clown makeup, and a light blue underbelly. They are both wearing a red birthday hat and a red jester collar.

There is a big speech bubble pointing to both of the snakes that says, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" in big, red letters.

In a side-bar role-play session, my wife @demongemini.bsky.social 's troubled warlock, Ebin, & my hot mess druid, Argyle, attempted a serious heart-to-heart but ended up singing 🦄🎀 Pinky Pony Club 🎀🦄 together instead!

Kinda want to make a new snake OC for no reason other than fun. Maybe I'll put this character in my wizard project. Maybe I won't.

It'll depend on what sort of concept I come up with for them.

Breeze when she meets a magical being.

It wasn't that weird, right?

12. While her specialty is weather magic, Breeze isn't really fond of rain. She doesn't like it when her fur gets wet.

She makes pitiful little kitty noises when that happens.

Breeze struggles to lie but has been getting better at talking in a way that's technically not lying.

Being vague. Talking in riddles. Just normal wizard stuff.

Daily OC questions @dailyocs.bsky.social · 5d

What's your OC's opinion on lying? Would they lie if necessary or are they brutally honest all the time?

I can feel the urge to draw Breeze in different outfits returning. It would be an appropriate time to do that since it's October. :)

I love drawing!

I love making my own characters!

I love creating!

If I was willing to do those month long art challenges, I'd draw Breeze in different scenarios based on the prompts on the lists.

Of course there's no reason why I couldn't just find a list and only use the prompts that inspire me. Maybe I will someday. Could be fun.

I should draw some pictures of Breeze dealing with silly magical mishaps. Being a wizard in-training, she has to deal with all sorts of nonsense.

Nonsense that's sometimes her fault.

I'd also like to draw some pictures of Breeze interacting with other magical characters. I just like drawing OC interactions.

I'm spooky now 👻

I want to create something.

I don't want my project to just be a bunch of pictures and ideas scattered across social media. Of course I like drawing and talking about my characters but I want to make an actual story I can share.
