'Time's up,' [Palamedes] said. 'Give this to Cam for me, will you?' [...] [And when Nona] lifted up Camilla's hand to press her mouth to it, all Camilla said was, 'Thanks.' And she almost didn't flinch. — NONA THE NINTH // Ch 5

so if you don't know, there's different counting methods and the duodecimal finger counting has a base of 12 and allows you to count to 144 with your two hands.

your thumb is the pointer to count the bones in your fingers (i.e. 3 bones in 4 fingers, a total of 12) and you keep track of each full set with your other hand in the same way.

the way i remembered it as starting with the top digit of your index finger and go down and then across to the next finger — but when i did some quick research, i also saw starting from the top of the pinkie going down and across, and others starting from the index and going across the top digits,,,,,, soo. idk i suppose it depends on the orientation of your primary written language i.e. you read left to right so you count left to right and whatnot.

ANYWAY!!! the way i remembered it means that the base of the second finger is number six babyy thank you for coming to my ted talk this book didn't make me insane

🧍‍♂️ 🔴

also what if when palamedes was tied to his hand bones, camilla brought them out when she was alone, a lonely cavalier with the remnants of her necromancer, and maybe one time she holds the bones like he's there and has his hand out and she kisses the second knuckle

and then when he transfers to camilla's body and he kisses nona's second knuckle to pass on as a message, camilla bluescreens because he truly was there in the bones truly aware truly remembers,, what then??

A big thank you to Josh for typesetting this, rendering it and essentially making my silly little drawings look better than I could’ve made them. Please follow him on Twitter (@BeAstronomica1) and check out his work!

I was inspired by the black-out poems made by @playing-with-colors and decided to apply it to the locked tomb series!

I feel a lot of the iwtv fandom sadly weren't raised in the trenches of NBC Hannibal. You must learn to take the most despicable murderous bastards and ask them to be worse

Armand got in on the ground floor of that 20 year old loser. kept checking in on him like he was proofing sourdough until he had a beautiful geriatric fag ready to go into the oven of vampirism and emerge the perfect companion. he saw Daniel sniffing around for coke at Polynesian Mary's and said give me fifty years I can make him the hottest guy you've ever seen. and Louis was just happy he was finally taking an interest in investment because it gave them something to bond over besides missing that blond man's pussy. like it's the only long con Armand has ever successfully pulled. hard work pays off in the form of a 70something boytoy who looks suspiciously like your evil father. i'm so proud of him. my weird bug.
