- appearance hcs
Zack is slightly different from how canon makes him look, especially in remake/rebirth. Most notabtly:
He has tan skin, and is proud of the fact he never burns. Though he does get a bit paler when he's in Midgar, he's still quite a bit darker than a native Midgardian.
As he ages, he lets his hair grow out. It's at it's longest in his main verse, where it reaches his mid back. When he's able to properly take care of it, his hair is actually fairly wavy. It's not quite curly, but pretty close. It used to be incredibly frizzy growing up. These days, he frequently ties it up to keep it out of the way.
He does have top surgery scars, but they are harder to see post-Last Stand given he has dozens and dozens of bullet hole scars across his chest.
There are four wing tattoos on his back. Two white ones on the left side of his body, and two black ones on the right. They represent Angeal and himself (white wings) and Sephiroth and Genesis (black wings).
His eyes do actually glow in the dark, akin to birdblacksocialclub's comics. It's really freaky to those who aren't expecting it. He frequently forgets that they do that and consequently scares the daylights out of people who encounter him in the dark.

DIRECTORY is under the readmore with basics, living together, fun, and story continuity
DISCLAIMER: there is always the possibility that the characters here will not take your question well. they might answer rudely or dismissively, and their answers are heavily opinionated. instigating behavior is not only encouraged but expected on both ends. this does not reflect my personal opinions as the artist.
answers are put on a daily queue and will be tagged with keywords relating to the question. please search for existing answers before sending an ask! PREVIOUSLY ANSWERED/VAGUE ASKS WILL BE DELETED.
FAQ: introduction | living layout | why are gideon and harrow living together if they hate each other? & why can't harrow just go? | what's the dynamic? who is dating who? who's friends with who? etc

WILL NOT ANSWER:
advice asks (ex: my ex broke up with me what should i do, i graduated college what next, do you have any art/study tips)
"reaction" asks (ex: x is funny for that, i loved xyz post, x is feral) are seen and appreciated but wont be posted;
"recommendation"/hyperspecific asks (ex: can you guys rec your favorite brands of jam, can you pick my next car, what is your least favorite part about 3rd year med school) require me to do the research for the characters, which takes a lot of time;
asks referencing real life shows/video games/comics (ex: have you read homestuck/played minecraft) for the same reason mentioned previous, plus it relies on my existing knowledge of the media. also i do not want there to be discourse on these fictional characters having opinions on more fictional characters

Nickles appreciation post
or just a list that Nathan noted as lovely, etc.
(lady) Pickles' eyes
button nose
crazy bitches
let's be honest all of his actual dates were crazy in a way. Pickles is literally the symbol of chaos and indulgence, a literal redhead. He has a perky nose, and, well, he has his eyes.
I think about this a lot.

so. successfully defended my master's. I have some a bunch of revisions to do for my written thesis before I officially have a master's, but I'm very nearly done with it.
I'll be doing research over the summer, but it's not nearly as fast-paced as normal semesters are, and this was a semester in turbo mode. And boy I certainly felt it. I should have a week or so before this semester is officially over, then I'll be able to finish up my thesis and have more time/energy for writing.
I know I've said that updates would be slower than normal this academic year (this semester, especially) and y'all have been very patient with me, so thanks so much. I've still got another draft/revisions to go, but I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to normal Hannah writing mode because I miss averaging 500-1000 words a day lmao

okay wait stop. okay wait for me, okay just- (steps around my mountains of garbage and slime)
Listen we all love Malorn Ashthorn (as we fuckin' should) but I just realized. okay, just how much undeserved mess that poor blessed soul went through
Like okay think about it for a second. He's introduced early on in the first arc as Malistaire's former top student and now impromptu Death Professor at Ravenwood, okay so we all know that. But the implications man. The implications, I didn't think about the IMPLICATIONS.
He's like this 12 year old kid, okay. Already even BEFORE his official appearance in the game, imagine being a straight A student, one of the very best (to the point where it's noted and revered amongst the other professors AND your fellow students), under THE Malistaire Drake, who, even before his villain arc, was also one of the most esteemed and powerful Death professors ever. Like I couldn't even keep a C in school that shit must be wild
AND THEN. And then, your professor literally commits several war crimes, causes irreversible damage and trauma, and becomes a national criminal against.... the universe???? Like Malistaite commits heinous terrible shit, and sinks the entire Death School along with him. And then it falls to Malorn Ashthorn, once again who's like a teenager, to PICK UP THE METAPHORICAL PIECES because he had no choice. He was literally the only candidate to fill in Malistaire's place, a legend turned monster, to teach and guide GENERATIONS of new children that are HIS AGE or even OLDER THAN Malorn is.
And then the actual changes in the school. Malorn, former student, now has to learn how to become a professor with his limited knowledge of Death Magic. Like imagine filling in for the college astrophysicist teacher when you've only graduated 6th grade. He has to change his SCHEDULE, from waking up early as a student to get up and get ready even EARLIER as a professor to prepare the classes HE comes up with. Not to mention late nights grading hundreds of papers from multiple students??? AND he either is the ONLY tutor (which means more overtime and work for him, to personally help individual students with different Death lessons), or he has to actually call upon help from other students to help him get his job done.
And then there's like the relationship aspect of it. Malorn is literally just a child, like any other student, but adopting a role as a professor, an adult, means that he also has to adopt a certain mindset. Malorn literally HAS to be patient, HAS to be guiding and nurturing, HAS to be the adult in every situation in order to be a GOOD professor. Malorn has to train hard not only in magic to be ahead of the others in order to teach them properly, but has to retrain his mindset to be ABLE to handle to teach properly. Like you can't be a regular tween teaching other tweens.
And then it's just the pressure after that. The PRESSURE GUYS, of not only living up to one of the most talented and accomplished the school has ever seen, but deal with the fact that the very same person also became a tyrant and war criminal and left Malorn, his most promised student, in his place. Like I could easily imagine the rumors, the judgement, and the fear surrounding that boy, wondering if he would ever turn out to be the same as Malistaire.
No one asked for this. This soap opera I mean, nobody asked me about Malorn Ashthorn or this long ass post but I don't care because I'm crying. Girls I'm crying my entire bed is wet with tears of despair and snot. Malorn is literally a sweetie oh my God he does not, and never will deserve this shit I'm so sorry honey. Sweetie Malorn baby I'm so fuckign sorry, i'm so so sorry,
