Whose skeleton ass hands leggings?

[azurelunatic]

So Belovedest was in line behind someone whose leggings had skeleton hands on the back. Specifically, skeleton hands that were cupping/supporting the ass cheeks. They described the garment to me when they came back out. (Side note: Belovedest and I have somehow developed a hobby of noticing awesome clothes that people are wearing, mentioning them to each other, and then discussing them. It's great fun.)

After describing the leggings, they asked the important question: Who in the Locked Tomb series owns these pants?

The awful teenagers would have needed some time to mellow before being able to properly appreciate these pants, so they're out.

Coronabeth has the sense of humor to wear them, but the style she's been allowed to develop is shiny and maximalist, and I don't think anyone would give these to her.

No one would give these to Ianthe either, but she would wear them.

Judith would probably snicker. Marta could keep a straight face. Neither would wear them.

8th house. Hahaha no.

6th house. Cam could keep a straight face, Pal would snicker. Otherwise it probably falls into the same category as the shirt that Pyrrha was going to give Nona. (We haven't reached that point of the book yet.) So, a tick in the Ass Joke box on the wall.

5th house. Now we're getting somewhere. Magnus would get them for Abigail, as a joke. They would end up as shared pajamas.

9th. Gideon gets them for Harrow, because that's hilarious. Harrow is not a wasteful person, so she does not immediately light them on fire (plus, fire in a contained habitat: not funny). Ergo, Harrow has to wear them when she has worn literally every other scrap of clothing she owns and she is forced to do laundry. Which means going out in some kind of public. Wearing these. Oh, the agony. (Gideon thinks it's hilarious.)

Nobody would give John Gaius the leggings either, but he too would wear them.

Dulcie would make a joke to Cam and Pal about being seen dead in them, and then double down and insist that she be buried in them.

Your choice of userpic could not have been more perfect.

Unrelatedly except that it's about memes and books, I wrote a thing. I think you may be among the target audience for the fifth section of the thing.

Would John add extra bones, or wear as-is?

Pro would see it while shopping and share it with the local equivalent of the group chat, which is how Dulcie encounters it.


Oh, the whole thing, definitely.

John possibly cannot even eat fish without adding extra bones.

The idea of Pro in the group chat makes me feel sad all over again. He'd post so many garden photos.
