#fern doesnt have his own bod in vanlife cuz HW never helped him integrate naturally

[blenselche]

trying 2 figure out a few of fern's other siblings since i want to include some besides yew in vanlife

Fennel is made from sedge and sorghum. It's ingredients: rock pigeon, white tailed deer, coyote

I want to make it obvious that the grass wizard isn't great at making demons. He doesn't have access to higher functioning/intelligent beings like Hunson does (when you croak you can volunteer to be reformed as a Nightosphere citizen (issue 51 iirc)) and all of them are physically incoherent once extracted because he never gets that far in their creation, assuming they'll never be unbound from their possessed objects.

excerpt abt demon creation in ch 2 for context:

“Is that what you really look like?” Finn asks, hesitant. “No, glob no,” Fern coughs out a self deprecating laugh. He fidgets nervously. “I guess technically that's my body, but I’m still glommed onto your blueprint. That was kind of like… what I’m made of.” “I thought you were made of plants?” “My vessel is — but my vessel was the sword. That’s just— you, now.” Fern holds his hand out and looks at the woody muscles and exine bones shifting under his skin as he curls and uncurls his fingers. “What you saw were the animals my dad sacrificed to summon and bind me. We’re created from strong emotions and death, dude.” “That�� that’s morbid, jeesh.” Finn reels back, not expecting that information. Fern lifts a limp shoulder. “The boss always uses men, so I'm better off than most of us, I guess. At least I don't remember it.”

cc:

Fern: at least you have your own body

Fennel: at least your vessel is sapient, I was stuck in a staple remover, dude.
