HAPPY (REALLY) BELATED CANDLENIGHTS Y’ALL! A present for dear old @queen-evanlyn , who I weirdly cannot tag??
This present is quite late sadly, cause of the holiday season and semester end madness, but I still wanted to do something fast and sweet! Hope you like a little bit of Stern and Barclay ^^
Thank you to @thecandlenightszone for hosting this again!! It’s such a lovely idea that I’ve participated in two years in a row, skipped a year and now were here again! An extremely lovely experience ^^
[ID] A full color drawing of agent Stern and Barclay, sitting together in a hot tub. Barclay is behind Stern, kissing his cheek. Stern is a man with medium complexion skin and slicked back black hair that’s graying slightly. He has a small scar over one arm, and is smiling and blushing slightly. Barclay is a muscular man with hair over his chests and arms, with scars over his body. He has dark brown hair and a large beard, and is blushing as well as he kisses Stern’s cheek. Steam is rising up from the hot springs, and there are towels sitting by the edge. The background shows a sunset over trees off in the distance. [end ID]
Hi, everyone! I recently cosplayed Agent Joseph Stern from TAZ Amnesty just as a costest until I get my better wig in! I was so happy because I waited a year to slowly pull together enough pieces to do this and gain confidence in my makeup skills where I wouldn’t feel like I looked too femme or too close to my previous male characters! I’m non-binary agender so it feels good and validating when I can play and vibe in multiple genders and then go back to being my regular goblin self. That being said I had 3 minor panic attacks while getting ready which felt silly considering this was just supposed to be a test, but I often struggle with being good enough I’m now feeling much better and more confident and looking forward to doing photoshoots like I’ve done for Duck and Aubrey!
I hand painted both my “Bigfoot is my Boyfriend” tshirt (based on the fic “sleek and gleaming pelt” by @bellafarallones) and made the trans flag Bigfoot tie pin (based on emoji art by @mike-does-weird-things) as one of my favorite headcanons is trans Agent Stern ️⚧️️

I’m relistening to episode 34, specifically when Barclay takes off his bracelet, with the new knowledge of Griffin Planning Sternclay From The Start and wow… the absolute gay energy this scene exudes with this added information… it was already pretty gay before but like wow
Sometimes I’m unsure of sternclay but then I remember that Stern was initially not up for helping the pine guard even though they were repeatedly telling him that the world was in serious danger and they had a harsh time limit and then he found out Barclay was bigfoot and immediately betrayed the government for him. Like this dude is a federal agent, he works for the goddamn FBI and as soon as he found out his friend was bigfoot he just immediately went
