Synopsis: In which reader has become very interested in Bos hands, Bo takes notice and teases them.
Reader is g/n. They/Them pronouns will be used.
Warnings: Not many, some language, and innuendos on Bos end.
NOT PROOFREAD.
It was a warm day in Louisiana. Magnolias were in bloom and birds were heard chirping happily overhead. (Y/N) stretched in the porch chair they were sitting in, feeling a few satisfying pops along their spine. Bo had ceased work on his truck to enjoy the early afternoon with them, having stepped inside for a beer and a (favourite drink) for them. (Y/N) relaxed back into the chair as their thoughts began to drift. First about the birds, then about the truck, then about Bo working on said truck. About how his hands expertly moved around wires and valves in the engine. How strong and flexible his hands must be. How they might feel holding their own hand. Their thoughts were interupted by an ice cold beer can touching the back of their neck.
"ACK! GOD DAMMNIT BEAUREGARD!" They jumped out of their chair and turned on the now cackling brunet. He wiped a fake tear from his eye.
"Oh calm down." He handed them their drink. "Its not even that cold!"
"You just pulled in out of the fridge!" They reached for their drink, fingers just brushing his. "Its freezing-" they trailed off. They looked at the drink in their hands, no not at the drink. Bo's hand still holding it their fingers crossed together. His fingers were callused but soft. They felt themselves wanting more of them. But Bo pulled his hand away, and popped the tab on his can. He took a big swig.
"I should get back to work." He gave (Y/N) a small smile. "You're welcome to help if you want!" He took off down the porch steps and headed over to his truck.
(Y/N) took a sip of their drink, their fingers still tingling from the short contact. They sighed wistfully and followed after Bo. The leaned gently against the truck while Bo messed with the engine. He occasionally asked for a tool. (Y/N) handed him the tools and went back to watching his hands. Their mind began to wander again.
They could see the tendons moving under his skin. They wondered what his hands would feel like pressed against their bare sides. Squeezing and tugging at the flesh. Would they be rough with his calluses or soft from the oil?Their face flushed slightly at the thought. Bo held his hand out and asked them something.
"Hm? What?" They shook their head to clear the fog, and looked at his hand.
"I asked for the wrench over there on your left?" He questioned. "Are you alright? You've been pretty distracted today."
"Oh yeah im fine. Just thinking." They picked up the wrench and handed it to him, their hand lingering again. When they pulled away they let their finger brush his palm. He raised an eyebrow but shrugged and continued with the engine. They worked in relative silence for the rest of the afternoon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was getting quite humid when they decided to finally head back inside. Lester was chilling on the couch and Vincent was off in his basement working on an art project. Bo headed off to the kitchen to wash his hands, while (Y/N) plopped themselves down on the couch next to Lester.
Lester could sense the tension and inquired about what was wrong.
"It's just..." They started, wondering if it was okay to tell Lester about the hand fixation they had on his brother. They decided not to, considering their little "problem" was their weird fixation on Bos hands. You shouldn't tell his brothers about that... That's just weird.
"Don't worry about it Les." They assured him. "I'll be fine."
Lester shrugged and began to pet Jonesys head. He then began talking about his day. (Y/N) simply nodded and listened.
Meanwhile Bo was in the kitchen washing his hands. (Y/N) seemed very hyperfocused on them. He had a theory but would need to test it. After he dried them he snuck up the stairs past the couch and grabbed a bottle of Jergens (a top tier lotion btw) and began massaging it into his hands. Once it had all soaked in he made his way back down the stairs rubbing his hands together to warm them up. He turned the corner to see Lester rolling on the floor with Jonesy laughing, while she playfully growled and barked.
(Y/N) sat laughing at their display of affection. Bo walked into the couch pushing them aside and sitting down. He then pulled them onto his lap.
I could not bring myself to finish this. I'm sorry to @charliedawn who requested this but I just could not do it. It's been hard trying to get back into writing but I'm not gonna make up excuses for myself other than, I've never been a good writer, in the sense that I just don't like it. I'm sorry again! π
Two gnomes high giving each other, whist wearing matching red boots???
HA GET RORSCHACH TESTED DUMBASS, WHAT DOES THIS MAKE YOU THINK OF
I'm not gonna do it...
I have one in the making right now, and that one will be posted when it is complete, but anything else won't be happening.
While writing said request, I realized why I quit in the first place. I just CANT write. I have problems sitting and writing for long periods of time. And when I do get a burst of inspiration it's only for five minutes and then I can't anymore. I get so frustrated while writing too. I get so frustrated I start crying. I'm doing this for my personal health really.
I do art commissions however and will stay present in the slasher fandom. I will be posting my drawings regularly, not all will be slasher related.
I'm sorry to anyone who wanted to make a request and didn't message me in time.
Sincerest apologies, Spindlebugz (Finn)
AHHHH TAKE MY LAST QUARTER! πͺ

Just a heads up for anyone female/feminine presenting that has an interest in mushrooms.
The online mycology community is dominated by middle-aged cis men who are generally speaking, hitting retirement age, and have ample time on their hands. They know little to nothing about the online world, but they seem to know a shit ton about fungi and boy are they eager to share their knowledge with anyone who will listen (even if you haven't asked for it).
They will belittle you, they will make you doubt yourself, your knowledge and your skills because they do not like women/feminine presenting people knowing more about something "outdoorsy" than them. Even if you state you are still learning, etc. They will, for whatever reason, assume you are competing with them.
You will get spoken down to in the mycology (online) community more often times than not, but it will always be one of these middle-aged men that's doing the intellectual degrading. If they are called out for their rude behaviour, they plead ignorance under the guise of "just trying to share knowledge."
The online mushroom community is also rather incestuous. Everyone with big accounts is known by everyone, and even most of the smaller accounts all follow each other. That means little cliques within the community form. Mainly again, cis middle-aged men share and encourage, repost, and advertise each other's photography/discoveries/research but will never share a woman's work on their page or even credit a woman on their page.
They also LOVE to find young men to "mentor" but will never offer the same "mentorships" to women within the community (the exception to this being women with PHDs or degrees relating to nature sciences etc.) They will mentor women with higher educations, the woman in that case is usually more knowledgeable than them by a mile but she is made to believe she needs the man "mentoring" her to establish her space in the community or gain recognition in some way.
This is just my own observations. It may not reflect your time in online mycology spaces. But yeah, just a heads up that a lot of the online spaces for mushroom fanatics are male lead and a little bit toxic imo.
Edit: Also, in general, mobile phone photography is still a massive taboo among photographers online. If you don't own/use a camera for your photography, getting it shown/promoted within the online community is damn near impossible.
Working on a painting for my grandma and grandpa's birthday present. The fairies are for my grandma and its a painting because my grandpa loves art.
It's no where near done yet tho.

If y'all have some time, I'd love for you check out my old art teachers music. Her band is called The Maxwells Band and they are based in the PNW. Their music is so good and I think you all would love it!
Here's a link to my favourite song of theirs.

okay I actually have another piece of advice for beginner witches that I've been mulling over.
I want to talk about β¨researchβ¨
I think when some people hear 'research', they picture people reading thick textbooks or historical documents in a library, or tower, or bedroom or what have you , and they picture these witches deeply studying then coming out of that session with a thorough understanding of what they were studying and can apply it perfectly to their craft.
Now, some people might learn well like this and more power to them, but I know I don't, and if you're reading this and you're like me, I'm here to tell you that research takes many forms.
When you buy a witchcraft book, and I do recommend reading/listening to books, you don't have to finish it before trying things. Sometimes research is reading something you find compelling in a book, then going and trying it for a week before continuing reading.
Sometimes research means being in a community of witches, whether that's two friends or a local group, and trying out techniques they've described to see if they work for you.
Sometimes not getting the results you were hoping for is research because then you can figure out why and it improves your craft.
The point of this post is, don't be afraid to include practical application to your craft. I have spent a lot of time thinking I needed to perfect the knowledge in my mind before trying anything and I'm here to tell you that more often than not, it won't work.
You can't know what works for you if you're not working it (or something idk)
you gotta do stuff and not compare yourself to the image of a perfect witch that you've created in your brain
Reblog if your blog is boopable-safe so you can get all the (probably new) achievements. I donβt care about notes I just want boops
