fwb toji who is furious when you come home (you let him crash at your place) telling him with a broad smile that the mechanic was kind enough to give you premium air on your tires "for only $120 for all four tires!" and he's fuming, already on his feet, "no no sweetheart," he tells you, "they scammed you. why didn't you call me in the first place?" and suddenly you're shy, giving him a shrug that nearly wounds him if it weren't for the hard thumping of his heart. "give me your keys, baby. I'm gonna take care of it."

Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.
Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.
But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.
The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

I didn't carve my pumpkin this halloween because I didn't have a serrated knife. Except I do. I forgot about the unopened cheese-knife set that's moved house with me 3 fucking times

We know that 47 has loads of skills unrelated (at least directly) to murder— playing the drums, painting, tattooing, massaging, mixing drinks. Skills you might suspect he wouldn't have. What unlikely skills does Lucas have?
Oh boy that is a good question! I can imagine Lucas has the same skill set but not as advanced as 47. He can play the drums but maybe not as well as 47 and so on
But one thing I imagine about Lucas is that he likes to ignore his skills because he doesn’t need them. 47 is a little show off, we know that. He likes to show that he is superior and better than anyone (let’s be real he enjoys being the best)
But Lucas is all like “don’t know don’t care”
I can imagine him being really good at social interactions. Because that’s the one thing 47 is (imo) kind of bad at.
And maybe he is a good artist! They usually are depressed and desperate beings - like he is. Inspiration hits really hard when you’re at your lowest (kind of)
If we’re being silly he probably likes to do the most mundane things ever - like knitting or something like that
47 gets all the nice sweaters from him. Socks, scarfs, you name it 🧶
