i'm so used to there just being random unidentified bones laying around everywhere in these damn books that it finally occurred to me, just now, to wonder where the bones on new rho came from. y'know, the bones palamedes always tried to teach nona necromancy on.

they're his.

palamedes, who always loved teaching, living on borrowed time in a body that's not his own. palamedes, mentoring, teaching- parenting, by sixth standards, mind you. and that boy is sixth, through and through.

and the entire point of teaching nona necromancy in the first place was to try and determine if nona is, well, nonagesimus, right? so it has to be bones, it can't not be bones. bones are, like, her whole thing.

but they're not in the nine houses, anymore. things are different, on new rho.

they burn bones here. dig up the cemeteries. a society terrified of zombies will evolve to dispose of its dead differently.

the only bones he has access to now are his own. (camilla wouldn't let anyone take them- skull or hand, doesn't matter. they're still him, and she doesn't let go, remember? it's her one thing.)

palamedes woke up every morning wearing someone else's body to then gently place the shrapnel of his own in the cupped palms of a girl who's the closest thing he'll ever have to a daughter and try to teach her- how did the angel put it, again? normal school, as much as possible, for as long as possible.

(but hey, in a roundabout way, at least it's a chance for him to touch camilla again, right? nevermind that she's not there to feel any of it because he's in the driver's seat, that he can only stay for fifteen minutes at a time. it's atoms that belong to camilla touching atoms that used to belong to him, and that's close enough. he'll take what he can get, these days- if she can be their flesh, he can be the end. so what if holding his own bones is a mindfuck? so what if looking at them makes him nauseous? surely he can suck it up and deal with it for fifteen minutes. it's the least he can do— his poor camilla was the one who had to scrape the bloody pulp of them off the floors of canaan house.)

(speaking of, here's a fun fact: we actually only see nona practicing with the bones one time, on-page. camilla's final line in that scene, before palamedes takes over, is none other than: 'keep going. there are some bones left.' ow!)

remember, too, that the only part of dulcinea, the real dulcinea, that palamedes ever physically touched, was her tooth- the one that ianthe gave him, pulled from the ashes cytherea burnt her down to. he only ever touched dulcie once, and it wasn't until after she was already gone, but that doesn't matter- it still happened, and you can't take loved away.

in this same roundabout, bittersweet, by-proxy sort of way, palamedes has been physically touched by nona, too: the atoms she currently occupies, touching atoms that he used to occupy, and never will again.

the main interaction we've seen between palamedes and his mother took place back on the sixth, with her acting as mentor and him as pupil: the two of them studying a set of hand bones, juno encouraging him every step of the way.

we know that harrowhark's "most vivid memory of her mother was of her hands guiding harrow's over an inexpertly rendered portion of skull, her fingers encircling the fat baby bracelets of harrow's wrists, tightening this cuff to indicate correct technique."

they're still small for a nineteen year old, but the wrists are bigger, in this new set of memories nona's making. and it's not an inexpertly rendered portion of skull anymore- it's a hand, now, albeit one crafted from [a piece of skull reassembled (painstakingly—passionately—laboriously reassembled) from fragments, manually, and not by a bone magician, from the skull of someone who, soon after death or symptomatically during, had exploded.] and the identity and origin of these bones is no mystery at all. they belong to palamedes, and he's consented to their use for this purpose, and that matters.

but the details are just set dressing, really. the foundation of the memory is the same.

palamedes and his mother, juno and her son.

harrow and her mother; pelleamena and her daughter.

nona and her father-mother-teacher; palamedes and his daughter.

#these fucking books. every 2-3 business days i'll find some new detail to be insane about #this post took me like three hours to write. what the fuck #palamedes sextus #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #nona #palamedes the sixth #tlt #ntn #camilla hect #tlt spoilers #pal honey. im :( :( :( #spiritually that man is a MOM okay! there's a reason tamsyn specifically assigned him the same imagery in this scene #that she's been using to represent crucial bonding moments between mother/mother figure and child/child figure #that and the 'sextus you'll make a very irritating wife someday' joke and cam's 'i'll talk to your mother later' face #ie: talk to palamedes about nona #that boy is momcoded i don't make the rules!

I think Tim Drake deserves a villain arc. As a treat. Just like a little one, to get it out of his system.

Option 1: Tim hunts down the dregs of the League of Assassins, bends them to his will through money and influence, and starts building his own ninja army. This utilizes his management and organizational skills. If Jason is allowed to have a gang, its only fair Tim gets one, too. This would be terrifying and have lasting impacts on the world villain economy.

Option 2: Literally just Teen Titans Red X. Here he's using self sufficiency and stealth skills. Much more of a loner villain arc, just striking out for a little while and finding himself. Also maybe doing some actual Robin-hood-ing and stealing from the rich. It could be fun. And it fits his theme!

#dc #batman #tim drake #league of assassins #teen titans #red x #my rambles #im just saying #my boy needs to do something for himself sometime #upon looking around for a moment i see that Jason Todd as Red X is a much more popular take #which i dont hate. i could actually see that as like. a more gray persona than the arguably villanous red hood #haha what if jason and tim were both red x #like thats just an undercover persona that they adopt sometimes when they need to do something that doesnt fit their normal mo #if tim needs to get his hands dirty but cant as red robin or if jason wants to do some good that'd ruin red hood's crime lord reputation #thats cute actually #brotherly bonding <3

Can you imagine being a two foot tall halfling in your giant cow uncle’s lap. Literally the safest feeling in the world I think. 💚

[ID: Digital art of Luc and Caduceus from Critical Role. Luc is a small halfling child in yellow overalls, looking up with a smile. He is sitting in the lap of Caduceus, who is shown from the neck down and is much larger than Luc. End ID.]

#im still thinking about luc and cad's interactions in ep 129.... #the fact that we got cute luc and cad bonding moments... and then cad having to bring luc back to life... in the SAME episode messes me up #luc is the bravest boy in the world and caduceus is a good uncle <3 #critical role #cr2 #c2e129 #caduceus clay #luc brenatto #cr fanart #fanart

CESARE BORGIA + dragging his brother around "You have a priest for a brother?."

#cringefail bros my beloveds #francois and david had such an electrifying chemistry #they became close instantly the first day on the borgias set. bonding over the godfather and all #till this day they're still interacting on instagram being goofy and david even invited francois to his podcast #juan's brattiness balances with cesare's leadership so damn well hello??? best brothers ever i'm sorry #it's the way they desperately tried to replace juan with alfonso in season 3 but they failed dramatically #he had nooooone of juan's charisma and devilish charm #they tried to parallel the scene where juan and cesare were sparring with swords to the one with cesare and alfonso's... #...yet again they failed dramatically. “did you ever love your brother?” “ i did! mightily.” was the only valid moment between them LMAOOOO #françois saying that he loves juan and cesare moments because they had “loving brotherly undertone under all of cesare's hard teaching" #yeah <3 #david oakes #juan borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #francois arnaud #cesare borgia #juan and cesare #by jen

Did Astarion ever confess his original plan to Khael? How was his reaction to Astarion needing to abstain from sex because of the feelings it brought up for him?

(I absolutely love Khael. He is adorable and I would like to give him many hugs if that’s ok ❤️)

maybe the dark urge was the asexuality we realized along the way. but jokes aside, Khael is cool as a cucumber about it, of course! that's like the most natural thing to him - after all he never actually initiated sex with astarion at any point (even in the game! it was so fun when I noticed!) and waiting for him to feel comfortable in that kind of intimacy again was no issue at all (also, fun that they both feel comfortable doing it again in a graveyard, very romantic of them lmao). (also I like to imagine this is the moment both of them went "maybe I don't experience sexual attraction like the rest of the people around me" and just - rolled with it.)

(heres my personal headcanons for both of them - khael is demi and astarion is grey-asexual)

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 astarion #khael tav #disegna e bevi #otp: warding bond #as an ace peep acespec astarion is so dear to my heart #also it's fun tinking about the “OH.” moment Khael has when he's in love with astarion and the demi part of his aceness kicks in #“astarion when I look at you I feel all tingly and I blush and Im so wiggly and-” “you're horny” #“what” “I'm flattered dear and the feelings mutual” #anyway they're both silly and I love them a totally normal amount #bg3 spoilers

One of the things in drawtectives season 3 I’m most excited about is learning. How. York learns to read

Like are we talking Jancy staying late in the office with those baby flashcards (tho she skips “t is for train” just. Just in case it brings up unpleasant memories), and then slowly building it up in difficulty until he can read books by himself?? Maybe he gets a library card and realises he actually loves reading and starts getting recs from Jancy (though they probably have different tastes). Just. Something sweet and family like :3

Or. Did York teach himself?? Purely. So he could jumpscare Grandma and Rosé and maybe do a bit where he pretends he could always read

I like both of these options and either way. I feel like he’d be very intrigued when Rosé introduces him to bao3

#me when. me when theres found family bonding moments at the function #this post got away from me a tad bit but yall know what I’m on about here #drawtectives #drawtectives season 3 #rose drawtectives #york drawtectives #jancy true #jancy drawtectives #drawtectives headcanons #drawfee

Thinking about the protective way Clara tells Fleet not to go into DeVries' dangerous-looking training set-up, and about how when Septimus mentions Fleet's friend Fleet's immediate assumption is that he must mean Clara, and about "This is Miss Clara Entwhistle, my partner - in business, my business partner." / "I'm also his friend, but he doesn't like to say it.", and about how Fleet rarely smiles but he smiles to himself at Clara having a good idea (and Clara notices the change in his expression), and about how Clara is trying to work out Fleet's birthday through a process of elimination, and about how Fleet tries twice to shut down the conversation with Frances Byrne that's making Clara uncomfortable, and about how panicked and angry he sounds after realising she's been poisoned...

#Victoriocity #Victoriocity spoilers #The nice thing about this season (and about the book) is that - although we don't know the exact time skip between seasons - #we're now getting to see their dynamic after they've known each other #(and worked together) for longer than a couple of weeks #I love how quickly they are ride or die in s1 #but I love that there's more history there now. a more developed bond #You can hear it in little things #like how Fleet knows before she does it #that Clara is going to ask a person who is going to jail thanks to them #to recommend their PI business #the way he says 'Clara no...' #but then gets on board with it #Oh also I like to think that moment in S3E4 isn't the first time Fleet has smiled to himself at Clara doing something smart #but usually he does it while Clara isn't watching #This is all platonic to me btw #I'm open to being contradicted by the source material #but for now that's important to me #They are friends <3 even if he doesn't like to say it #Clara Entwhistle #Archibald Fleet #Inspector Fleet

Romancing Shadowheart as durge can have a lot of funny haha implications but the one I'm choosing to fixate on right now is Astarion sitting there one day, observing the band of tadfools and co at camp, and thinking

"If I had a coin for every selunite cleric I know that's in a relationship with the literal child of a god... I'd have two coins... which isn't much but still weird that it happened twice."

#baldur's gate 3 #durge spoilers #with the implication that you're being a goddy two shoes durge ig #Astarion just sitting there looking at Shadowheart and Isobel bickering affectionately #and two steps behind are the demigods utterly smitten and heads over heels with them #what is Selûne feeding these bitches #oh nvm now I want Durge and Aylin bonding moment when they ask her how to cope with who they are

I wish Julian and Martok would interact more cause I think they could have the funniest possible dynamic. they spent 5 weeks together in a Jem'Hadar prison I just know they have a friendship that looks fucking INSANE from the outside looking in

#star trek: ds9 #julian bashir #martok #Martok: we are like blood brothers. we suffered the horrors of the Jem'Hadar together. our bond is unshakeable #Julian: in other words we're besties <3 #Julian is the only doctor Martok will listen to and even then he only listens to him like 50% of the time #he'll ignore whatever Julian says right up until Julian gets right into his face and starts ordering him cause he's HAD IT #and then Martok laughs heartily and goes 'MAY YOUR SPIRIT NEVER BE TARNISHED DOCTOR' #and he slaps Julian on the back so hard he knocks him over #they get drunk on blood wine and belt out Klingon operas until Quark gets Odo to throw them both out of the bar #they'll occasionally talk about their prison time and everybody around them who can hear them is. so very concerned #Julian: what was my record for shortest time between solitary confinements. less than a minute? #Martok: yes they took you out and you spat at them and they threw you back in. that was the moment I knew you had the soul of a Klingon #Julian: aw <3 #Jake sitting three seats away: YALL GOOD? #Julian joins a Klingon mission with Martok and when they come back he's dishevelled and high on painkillers and Martok is carrying him #Julian: hi :) I got blown up #Martok: he was wounded in GLORIOUS BATTLE he did his ancestors proud #like hear me out. theyre besties #and its fucking hysterical
