Some Zig Novak Headcanons

Back in Season 12, when Zig used to live with his mom, he had a dark gray holland lop with a white patch of fur underneath it’s nose. They named it Misha.

When his parents can afford it, his mom is actually a pretty good cook

During winter time, she makes good soups.

She is good friends with the owner of a farmer’s market down the street, he is aware that the Novak’s struggle to get by and gives them fresh vegetables and fruits for free

Borscht is actually one of his favorite foods she used to make when she had enough ingredients to make it.

How he got Misha: one of his junior high friends had to move away before freshman year and owned / bred a crap ton of rabbits. He gave Zig one of the bunnies for free; his mom orders rabbit food for the store and they store-use it to feed Misha.

He is a massive fan of alternative bands. All Time Low, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, & Fall Out Boy are his faves

Him and Maya would sing out loud to Panic! At the Disco during Whisperhug rehearsals.

Adam and Zig became really good friends during Whisper hug.

He was devastated when he found out Adam died, but considering he was toggling with his own emotional turmoil after Cam’s death he couldn’t of attended the memorial service the Degrassi community held for him. It was all too fresh.

His little brother, Zakhar (Zak for short) is the complete opposite of him and is on the spectrum. He’s super freaking intelligent, is a little scientist, and is obsessed with anything space.

Before he got kicked out him and his brother were two peas in a pod :’)

Even though his brother was nowhere as good at it, he took him out skateboarding

While staying at the Matlins when he first started cooking he almost burnt the house down

Mama Mat was pissed but understanding about it because Zig finally found something he was good at

Also binge watched Hell’s Kitchen and Food Network while residing with the Matlin’s

Tried baking but just can’t get into it like he can with cooking

His boss Chef Kaz became a second mom to him

He's actually really good at art, loves sketching portraits of landscapes

Prefers black and white though :)

Towards the end of season 12, sometime before Karma Police I think that's when Zig joined the gang, but was obviously discreet about it because he literally just joined it. this is just my personal head canon following context clues. I noticed Zig and Damon sporting new threads (Damon has a nicer jacket, and different pair of jeans other than his uniform khakis in Karma Police P.T. 1 & 2) Also if you pay attention in Zombie Pt. 1 when he shows up to the Torres party, he has a phone. But merely a few episodes ago he referred to himself as, “the idiot who can’t afford a phone.”

Damon joined Tiny’s gang first, then Zig. But Damon moved out to a different neighborhood and got caught up with the enemy gang. I headcanon that their leader got arrested so Damon took over forming his own gang.

Zig got his phone through Tiny’s gang, specifically Vince. It just makes the most sense to me.

Tiny was blunt and told him to get a haircut and cut all the sleeves off his shirts, the emo bangs didn’t make him intimidating enough

Post Next Class: Him and his family are finally talking again, he visits them on holidays or whenever he is in the Toronto area

He attended a culinary school in California thanks to Maya’s encouragement

She’s proud of her little successful chef :)

More Zig Novak headcanons pt. 2

“Novak” means newcomer or stranger, it refers to a new arrival in the city. It’s actually a given name and derives from the Slavic surname Novaković. I headcanon that his parents immigrated from Serbia to Canada for a better life and changed their surname from Novaković to Novak.

Mrs. Novak (who still carried Novaković at the time) was pregnant with Zig when they moved to Canada. They specifically wanted to move to Canada because his dad was a part of the Serbian mafia. He was in pretty deep to the point their lives were at jeopardy if he were to leave the gang. When they found out that she was pregnant they were desperate for a solution, so to escape the gang, they grabbed their hands on the cheapest bus pass they could afford, and moved to Toronto by train.

She was very distraught when they had to move considering she had to leave her father and brother behind, but it was anything to keep their baby safe.

This is canon, but I thought this was interesting. Zigmund means “victorious protector,” the writers were quite intuitive with his name, much better than Carter Cash. We see on numerous occasions Zig being very protective of his friends.

He was raised Eastern Orthodox. His mom is religious and they practice their Serbian traditions during holidays.

His grandfather back in Serbia that was very innovative and creative. He owned a store where they exclusively sold homemade Christmas ornaments. Before Zig was born he made him a homemade ornament. The boy carries his grandfather’s ornament with him everywhere

Because of his roots and growing up in poverty, Zig is a sentimentalist. When Maya wrote him “Yes” he listened to it for days, especially after their break up :(

Just needs a fucking hug and emotional guidance I swear

Boy Meets World is his favorite tv show, and Shawn’s character influenced his transformation in some ways. At the Matlin residence, he'd wake up and watch Boy Meets World while getting ready for school.

He was really close to his dad when he was younger. Since he was the eldest son, om “Badnji Dan” (Christmas Eve Morning) one of their traditions consisted of going to the forest and chopping down an oak tree to retrieve an oak branch “badnjak”, a ritual of Yule custom

As he got older he wasn't as close to his dad as he was with his mom

Zig absolutely hates onions and hates everything with onions on it. He hated cooking onions at the restaurant because his eyes were constantly stinging, but eventually got used to it.

Can totally see him being that dweeb who wore goggles when he chopped onions for the first time 🤣🤣

When he and Damon went to that diner as kids, he’d peel all the onions off his burger until he was old enough to realize he could just order cheeseburger without the onions.

In Next Class, I headcanon he’d cook meals for homeless civilians and residents of the group home he lived at because of what he went through. (Really wish we could of gotten to see stuff like this, ugh. So robbed.)

i headcanon when he had his transformation before sophomore year began (new hair, the cut off leaves), he really became a spitting image of his dad which scared his parents immensely. Gang dealing runs in their blood.

His mom did not want to kick him out, but she wanted to protect the family. The reason they left Serbia was to escape gang life. She was slightly traumatized after his’s fathers life in the gang, and was afraid to be in that situation again because they would have no where else to go, their store is all they have for bread and butter, literally. (Especially with Zak’s life in jeopardy)

Grace was the first person to find out Zig was homeless, and did all she could in her willpower to help him. That’s why they are so close, and very protective of him. They met at the ravine during a party, she noticed his duffel bag and teary eyes. Even though it wasn't much, she told him about the abandoned house in her neighborhood and all about squatting.

He constantly relayed to her about his crush on Maya, and his heartbreak when he saw her with Miles for the first time.

She helped him overcome his grievance of Cam’s death. I really stan this friendship.

Zig got interested in gang life when he started noticing Damon’s new threads... As well as a new phone. His clothes were way too nice to be thrifted or lost and found finds.

Tiny and Zig weren't on good terms at first, but when he realized Novak was really struggling and learned of his homeless life he was more willing to help him. Eventually got to be best friends turned brothers.

Zig was fun to write for, especially since he was a character without much of a background. Like / reblog for Zig as a boyfriend headcanons.
