Surprisingly, the sea doesn’t fade her tattoos and the waves creep in and out of the cervices, fresh after the battle. New wounds will be soon patched, once the clay powder you keep in storage gets mixed and turned to a paste that once applied will act more like flesh than stone. She should count herself lucky, you are able to restore the verses marred by the fight, as the words are etched in your mind with a passion. Another good battle against each other. Your crew will suffice to fix the damage on the ship as you bring the pirate to your quarters. The promise of mushroom wine and some food after the work is done enough to push them into gear.

The clay hand holding your own feels cold, but at the same time it’s like it hides a warm core. Lava under the surface. You feel her stare on the back of your neck even in complete darkness, and you release her hand to light the lamp on the desk.

Her hands rest on either side of your body flat and solid against the table. Saltwater drips from her clothes to the nape of your neck, and dribbles down your vest and your shirt.

She has you right where she wants.

Goths aren't "true to seed" in the sense that the biological offspring of two goths do not necessarily grow up to be goth, though inheriting the inclination for it from both parents increases the odds significantly. That is not how goths naturally reproduce.

The process is actually quite sophisticated, and requires the presence of a full-grown goth to trigger it. A pupal-stage proto-goth, at this point completely indistinguishable from any other small human child, only needs to encounter a mature specimen once - and while the initial imprinting that ensues will only take seconds, the incubation period often takes more than a decade, even several.

The first visible step of the transformation is triggered when the dormant goth suddenly gains awareness that they have free will and can do whatever they want with their appearance. While the progress may be gradual, or seem like the transformation happened all at once overnight, the initial seed was planted years ago. And now, in full bloom, a fully-fledged mature adult goth may finally be happy.

And that's why it's important to sometimes look goth as fuck in the grocery store. You might be seen by small child who had previously hoped to die before adulthood because everything they've heard about becoming a grownup is just pure misery, who will then consequently think to themselves "actually nevermind, that's what I want to be when I grow up."

figure drawing practice. i can watch tv AND do something else! that's like, two whole things!!

the zailing rework looks great ngl and i'm pretty excited to revisit some of the places from sunless sea but i have a really important question that needs to be answered before it consumes my nights

wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
