in which gregor makes a friend -- for @cozy-fish-crow

[loverboy-havocboy]

rotating aliit gregor very slowly on the spit

gregor whose home life was normal. happy. his parents loved him, and each other. until his mom got sick when he was a teenager, and his dad didn't know what to do with a sick wife. didn't know how to cope with the fact that she wasn't going to get better. so he detached, and gregor stepped up to take care of her, until she died when he was eighteen.

his relationship with his father had already been deteriorating for years, but her death was what finally broke it beyond repair. by the time he was nineteen, gregor just wanted to get the hell away. so he joined the army. it was kind of impulsive, but his maternal grandfather, who he was named for, had been a supercommando. it felt like a way to escape, and to honor his mom's side at the same time.

in basic training, he met a quiet, gruff boy a year younger than him, who'd been raised to be a soldier. wolffe couldn't stand him. gregor's jokes, pranks, and general goofy/positive disposition made wolffe think he was just some rich kid who joined up because he was bored, and that he didn't take any of it seriously.

it was a quiet (and relatively one-sided) feud, except for when the two of them hit the sparring mats. that was the only place wolffe could let his frustration loose without breaking regs, and gregor always gave as good as he got. every time they fought they'd both limp away bloody and bruised. until gregor finally had enough of wolffe's weird emotional constipation and decided to use the adrenaline from their spar to initiate a more pleasant form of back and forth between them.

twenty ears later (by the time gregor meets comet), wolffe and gregor are each other's best friends. strongest allies. partners in life, even if their lives don't often have them crossing paths these days, with the war raging on.

infodump at me about aliit au tattoos? please?

kissing you on the mouth about this, if i may. long post ahead, i imagine.

starting with comet:

starry night tattoo - comet is a painter and his favorite artist/main stylistic inspiration is van gogh. i think this is one of the first real tattoos boost did after beginning his apprenticeship in keldabe

honeycomb - this is the testosterone symbol! it's also a matching tattoo with his ori'vod thorn, who was (likely) the first other transmasc he ever met and whose non profit helped pay for comet's top surgery.

art is the weapon - a reference mcr's danger days album and a quote by either frank or gerard: art is the weapon, your imagination is the ammunition, stay dirty and stay dangerous, create and destroy as you see fit. i think that speaks to comet both as an artist and as a queer person, and i think the whole pack is insane about mcr. boost probably gave him this one in high school.

trans symbol - this commemorates his first hrt injection! boost did the injection and the tattoo a week after comet turned 18.

phoenix - this is a huge part of comet's character, and is done in out of the ashes. it's a cover up that helped him let go of an abusive relationship and reminds him of what he's capable of. it's also dedicated to/inspired by @brokenphoenix99, who's been around for comet since day one.

cowboy star - sinker gave him this tattoo under boost's very careful supervision!!

flowers - suggested by phoenix when i didn't like his old chest tattoo, these accentuate his scars rather than distract from them. they're something he's very proud of, so that makes much more sense for him. the flowers represent growth, new beginnings, and him finding the comfort in himself he needed to embrace his femininity. the butterfly is for change/transition.

pack tattoos (dog, sun moon stars, swords) - i'd say all of these are probably from high school if not very soon after. the wrist tattoo was the first tattoo any of them ever got and the first boost ever did. it was a stick and poke and they were around 14-16. sinker's given name means sun ray, boost has always been caught in his orbit (yes, we're excluding earth for this metaphor) and is the more quiet/reserved, so has always been his moon. idk yet when comet chose his name or whether he was already their star at the time, but this became Their Thing. the dog is because they were so rabid/feral in high school (and because comet drew blood biting another kid in a fight) that they were dubbed a pack of wild animals/dogs. they took that and ran with it, calling themselves a pack. the swords are an all for one and one for all kind of deal.

i am creation & lightning bug - i am creation is a lyric from creature by half alive which is transgender To Me. the lightning bug was just cute and comet likes bugs.

sinker:

moths: obligatory sun and moon tattoo to symbolize him and boost. these were really fun to do, i just feel like he's a moth tattoo kind of guy, you know?

darasuum: mando'a for eternal/eternity. this is in boost's handwriting, over his heart.

snake: much like with the moths, he just gives me snake man vibes? i think he likes snakes a lot, as he's a friend to all creatures. the snake has a pattern of suns, moons, and stars.

hip star: i think comet probably did this one! either way, it's dedicated to him.

baby/doll: boost calls him babydoll sometimes. they both have other partners (mostly hook ups for boost, sinker goes on a lot more dates/has other relationships), but babydoll is something just for them. the baby tattoo spends a lot of time under collars (or boost's hands).

others: he's got a lot of random ones because he's been boost's practice body for almost a decade!

boost:

his tattoos would need their own fucking post, and some of them can be explained by comet and sinker's, so i'm just gonna hit a few.

dinosaur: sinker did this one!

"i'm here" star: comet did this tattoo! i'm gonna say maybe in high school.

lighter: "ni partayli gar darasuum" is mando'a for "i remember you, so you are eternal", which is part of the mandalorian death remembrance. this is a memorial for his parents. they died right before the pack started high school, and he was adopted by sinker's parents, who were already his godparents.

molotov cocktail: lyric from baby, i'm an anarchist by against me.

tic tac toe board: this is for sinker to play with when he's board. sometimes boost plays with him, sometimes comet.

gregor:

tallies: coric gives him a new one every time he does something stupidly risky that lands him in medical (which gregor generally just considers victory tallies, much to the medic's chagrin).

212: for his battalion!

bicep tattoo: foxtrot squad symbol framed by the words "jatnese be jatnese", mando'a for "best of the best". i'm gonna say his whole squad probably has this one!

i have no place to put this yet but it's for aliit and the he in question is skye (wild booing)

“He liked a certain look,” Comet shrugs a little.

“You don't strike me as the kind of person who has a certain look.”

“No?”

Gregor looks him over with a glance, tilts his head to one side, and smiles. “No.”

and i just think. this is it. this is the epitomy of them.

last line challenge

@adhd-coyote i missed your tag!! and i got uno reversed by @mereelskirata

this is for aliit somewhere down the line:

Comet's eyes widen a bit at the question, but he guesses he shouldn't be surprised Gregor asked it; he's so stupidly, annoyingly aware of everything all the time. Now he just sits patiently, dissecting Comet with infuriating gentleness and oh, Comet hates this game. The using his words game. Gregor knows it, too. That's why they play.

open tags this time!
