#idk idk new idea I'm playing around with..... bc I am always slowly sloooowly working out the rest of byan's tattoos

woke up thinking about byan having cryptic text hidden within the art of the tattoos that are tied to their traumas... for when the images themselves aren't a strong enough reminder of lessons learned 🤔

#the text being hidden to discourage & help them avoid questions like 'oh what does that mean?' when strangers (and even not-so-strangers) #happen to see these tattoos #especially bc the text 'he deserved it' immediately popped into my mind for the tattoo they got after they killed in self defence #tell me that wouldn't get a shitload of questions if it was obviously visible lmfjsjfsj #but I feel like sometimes they need to be able to see & read it... especially just after it happened hey NEEDED that visual reminder #to help alleviate their guilt and feel less like some fucking monster for what they did #and I think that's the case with a lot of the shit they've been through... #they need words of reassurance but don't really get any from the world around them... so they weave them into their more meaningful tattoos #that way they can look at them and get that validation when they need it #but it's also not obvious enough that strangers feel like they're allowed to ask personal questions or jump to conclusions #idk idk new idea I'm playing around with..... bc I am always slowly sloooowly working out the rest of byan's tattoos #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me.
