Sometimes worldbuilding is great for writing.

And other times you think huh, this character would look kind of hot with a tattoo, wouldn't he? and then you wake up four days later to find you have a 31 page google slides presentation detailing the tattooing culture of the Bëorian people and diagrams of various characters' bodies with tattoo placement and the symbolism of each limb and location and also not a single additional word written on the WIP in question.

Hitting burnout has been a rough middle ground. I’m finding myself spiraling on occasion and not sure what to do with my hands because nothing seems -right- in the moment. So I’ll take my time, and I’ll work on being patient. I can do this.

Mentioned a while ago on here that I had had an idea for a fic in a different fandom that combined like

Opposite businesses, soulmate tattoos, and hanahaki

Anyway, got briefly possessed by the idea again— this is not remotely done or polished or anything, but I played with Lucanis a bit to sketch out like the

General idea of how the hanahaki soulmate tattoos would work

Here’s some of it! Still very into the idea, conceptually! CW for some body-horror stuff— specifically, plants growing under ppls skin

***

In the Villa Dellamorte, there lived a man who could not tell anyone he loved them.

He had been afflicted with this ailment by his grandmother, who had it herself, and saw nothing wrong with it— but, of course, there was the issue of

The flowers.

In Antiva, they called the intricate, swirling foliage that unfurled in impressionistic brushstrokes the Flowers of the Soul; Fiori dell'anima. And they were considered a blessing to all who bore them for depicting the essence, the truest expression, of any relationship— of love, itself.

Of course, there had always been much argument as to what exactly each kind of flora (despite the name, it was never only flowers) meant. In Rivain, the Floriographers consulted the Seers to divine the meaning of the images; in Antiva, the ancient traditions concerning the reading of the cards informed interpretation; Floriographers in Tevinter carried magical repositories of knowledge from the time of the Old Gods, whose wisdom was twisted up in the rites of that time— in the South, they thought it a curse of those who refused to follow the teachings of Andraste and the Maker as they were written, and the flowers were feared. But no one in Antiva would pay heed to such Southern nonsense.

The man— Lucanis— had few of the spiraling designs. The fields of his parents' love were dead and gray at the base of his spine; the intricacies of each stem, blade, and petal muddled by time. There was the lean, enduring tree of his selfhood, whose sparse branches spread from his vertebrae. There was the clinging vine that belonged to Illario, which Lucanis pretended to himself was not like those he had seen on his travels, which killed the host, then died. And there was the thorny, resilient thing, with beautiful flowers hidden beneath its imposing spines, that he knew was for Caterina, but that they both pretended to ignore— until it could no longer be ignored.

Love, un-acknowledged, will consume its host. And so even though Caterina forbid her grandsons from consulting the Floriographers, or acknowledging the foliage— dismissing it as superstitious nonsense— the silent, subsumed nature of the love Lucanis possessed began to make the plants insistent. The vines became real, and grew beneath his flesh, and twisted about his spine; the thorns of Caterina pressed against his skin until they pierced it, leaving tiny holes, which spotted his clothing with blood.

All this, Lucanis endured, because he was made to endure. But when the strangling vine started to make walking painful, he went to his grandmother, because she never expressed her love— and yet she was fine. And his grandmother revealed to him the secret, herbicidal potion that she had taken once a month for all of her adult life, that would deaden the Fiori dell'anima— and also, his heart.

Sometimes I get to feel super proud of the progress I’ve made and I try to ride on that feeling when I can, especially because it can be fleeting. So take it for what it is in the moment. You’ve got this.
