HEADCANON + hands.

GENERAL. hand headcanons because why the fuck not and i talk about his massive paws enough so might as well right? good. buckle up.

APPEARANCE. Ash is a 6′2″ beast of a man and his hands reflect that. His hands are large, he has a lot of grip strength in them so not only are they big but they are also chunky. His veins are extremely prominent, his nails are often trimmed closer to his fingertip. He does not like having long nails in his normal life at all. He doesn’t bite his nails, so unless the nails have been ripped off, they are generally smoothed. 

ACCESSORIES. Ash has multiple hand tattoos (which can be found here) which cover the back of his hand and the knuckles on all his fingers and both thumbs. in addition, as seen in the photos above, Ash wears chunky rings and jewelry on his wrists and fingers. He also loves to pain his nails black. He isn’t always the best at maintaining the nail polish so it’s more common to find him with chipped black nails than cleanly painted nails. 

DEMON FORM. In his demon form, Ash’s fingers turn into claws. The nail merges with the tip of his finger and blackens into a charcoal like colour that is matte to the finish. These are incredibly sharp and cut exactly like well maintained knives. They are half-way between human fingers and dragon talons. art by x.

HABITS. Ash is someone who likes to have his hands doing something when he’s anxious or under stress. He often plays with knives, or his lighter. He might even play with the rings on his fingers as well to keep them occupied. While Ash does not speak with his hands at all, he is expressive with them in other ways. He fists them, rubs his face with an open palm, squeezes his wrist, rubs the side of his neck, plays with them, etc. It’s not uncommon for people to watch his hands.
