language of hands

285 words | oneshot | lucanis/rook/teia/viago

Lucanis’s hands are broad and firm. Rook likes to trace the faint lines that cut across his knuckles, the ridges of the callouses at the top edge of his palm. She likes the way his hands engulf hers when they twist their fingers together, how small and protected they make her feel.  

Teia’s hands are even smaller than Rook’s, as quick and sly as her humour. Rook loves them for their deftness, for the clever way they touch her. They are a contradiction, manicured and gently cared for though still calloused from sharper aspects of her work.  

But it is Viago’s that she is most fascinated by. She sees them only rarely, usually hidden beneath the supple leather of his gloves. Like hers, like Lucanis’s, like Teia’s, they bear the toughness borne from knifework. His fingers are long and delicate, and she loves the precise way he moves them, like anything he might touch with his bare skin is a fragile thing.

She often finds herself entranced by the old scars that extend up his forearms – patches of glossy skin that catch the light. By his right thumb, a series of radiating cuts where a vial once broke. The inside of his left wrist, a small, perfect circle from acid measured out, as if intentionally applied. Other marks abound – burns and splashes, the result of years of work.

Mistakes and miscalculations, he might call them, but Rook sees them as the things he’s survived. Stories she will never ask to hear. It is enough, that sometimes at night when Teia and Lucanis have fallen asleep next to them, Viago will let her trace her own fingers over his marked skin, and does not pull away.

My friend labeled this “toxic aromantic yaoi” and I couldn’t agree more

Okay but do you think the people who were really close to odysseus during the Trojan war had a running bet for when odysseus claimed to have a vision from Athena if it was true or not? Because half the time he was just lying about that.

"it's like penguins. penguins, in nature, when one is sick, or when one is very injured, the other penguins surround it and prop it up. they walk around it until that penguin can walk on it's own. that's kind of what the cast did for me." — matthew perry about his fellow friends.

why does marinette get all the crossover fics. what if I want an angsty fic of adrien finding out everyone he loves betrayed him and then him running away to some other fandom. THEN what-

I don’t think ppl give enough credit to rui for his dedication to fucking with people (outside of tsukasa of course) like. Knowing & acknowledging that nene wants nothing to do with him and Tsukasa on her first day of second year and deliberately following tsukasa to loudly ask if she’s getting along with people (just to be a jackass)? Implying his gift to akito will explode even though it won’t bc he wants to bug akito? Like I think rui at his core is full of love and a desire to make ppl smile but I also think he’s 200% committed to the bit first and foremost. If something will be funny he’s going to do it regardless of the consequences. Guy filled with zero social anxiety & a never ending desire to embarrass his friends.

After the incredibly messy royal divorce, the already small kingdom was split in two, and the Snowdin half needed a new captain of their order of knights. And who better than someone who towers over any crowd and can also out-yell anyone?

[spinnysocks]

thinking a lot about the skinks and kiburi. this scene with kiburi is so funny in general

"....I thought you said he was a crocodile."

"No, YOU said that! :)"

but it's kinda interesting how shupavu and njano were spying ON the crocs from the start (in the rise of scar into song) and now they've spied FOR him (theoretically. they're only really allied to scar of course but let me think about complex dynamics okay??)

as always, the expressions are great. kiburi looks so tired of njano in that second pic LMAO

and the details are great too, such as the skinks sticking around to watch what happens. even though it's their job in the army, they just genuinely enjoy spying and watching shit happen 😭

they're a pain in the ass for reforming the outlands for sure, but i love them hfghjfhg

ascanio and louis xii

so

Milan Undone, Contested Sovereignties in the Italian Wars, John Gagné

extremely bold of louis xii to assume that ascanio, who has a reputation for conspiracy, wouldn't turn around and say 'fuck you,' after all of that™

(Ibid.)

it IS funny how men in power keep thinking they can put him on a leash like, pal. the odds are NOT in your favor

[daeluin]

ok no, i try not to get annoyed by what others say but there is a difference between people bending reality to delule themselves into making a straight woman queer just because they can't deal with liking a straight artist versus pointing out a man who has always presented himself as queer

WIP Wednesday ✨

IN TIME, this time. About time! Tags at the bottom

some cass <3 lav sketches, I'm currently painting the outfit on the right with poor chances of succeding (purples and cool greys are involved) u-u

hopefully I'll end up being historically coherent this time lmao (I'm eyeing Cosmé Tura because there are some interesting things in his pieces but I'm trying my best to stay in Venice for Josie *sprays water @ Estensi*). Also I'm tempted to change the pose and Leli may be seen from behind because, um, archer back? Archer back. I mostly see pics in which she's thin and dainty but like Give this girl those luscious back muscles she deserves pls

More outfits for the troubled child. So far these are my least favorite but! We keep going until I can replace the other document in full since it needs an update

Luckily, I have time to finish something this weekend ;u;

Tagging (w no obligation): @greypetrel @shivunin @melisusthewee @underneathestars @daggerbean @layalu @herearedragons

Ppl who unironically believe gege hates gojo baffle me because???? That's their character??? That's literally one of the characters they've put the most time into thinking about??? We know so much random shit about gojo bc gege keeps doing interviews about him???? Gege gave gojo his own custom infinity halo and everyone else gets the boring normal halo???????? Have y'all ever had a really good oc??? The best ocs get put into the fuckin WORST situations bc that one's interesting enough to make the situation worth it
