Happiest of anniversary this oc of mine
What started as a joke/terrible case of fomo became something so much more, something that low key changed my life lol. This oc actually means so much to me it is quite silly how much I care about him. Through him, I have made connections and honed so much of my creative skill, whether through writing or drawing or just plain creativity as I try to cook up his lore. Without Ernst, I don’t think I would’ve been where I am today as an artist, as he made me such a better artist as I finally learnt how to draw men just to draw him. Like invisible strings, this oc has connected me to something beyond my comprehension, whether it be the bestest online friends I’ve made through him or just the plain fact that he hard-carried my 2025’s art journey so much that I’ve become the artist I am today.
I often leave out the fact that he’s a lotf oc whenever I talk about him to the others because to me, he transcends beyond that now. I no longer feel the need to be tethered, to be restricted by fandoms or social media or public approval, cause I know whatever I create with and for him, it is plainly for me. I honestly don’t have a good relationship with tumblr or the lotf fandom (oc and canon) right now, but I cannot deny the impact that this group has made on me. And I’m thankful it exists just so I can create this character to annoy my irls with. Ernst Čelanský, what a man you are.
