Bon’s hands are gentle.

His hands are like the rest of him: big and mean and littered with scars and callouses from years of hard work and thankless effort. Rin has seen with his own two eyes just what Bon’s hands are capable of - seen him operate the bazooka like the weapon was an extension of his body, seen him drag Shima by the back of his hoodie back to safety, seen him heft Izumo over his shoulders as they run for their lives. Bon’s hands are trained and deadly.

But Rin has seen Bon with Kuro when he thought no one was watching. The hesitant, slow offering of food, the careful petting. Kuro loves affection in any form, but Bon was still soft in his administrations. Rin has watched Bon attempt to cook, the clumsy and awkward actions of peeling a potato and stirring a pot. Bon is not good at cooking at all. Everyone teases him about it, the one thing Suguro I’m good at everything Ryuuji can’t do, but whenever he finds Rin alone in the kitchen, Bon still offers his help. Rin has seen Bon braiding the girls’ hair, an idle frown of concentration on his face as his fingers moved with swift, practiced movements. He makes it look like art, and Rin found himself wishing he had longer hair.

Bon’s hands, when they touch Rin, are gentle. 

They didn’t used to be, back when they were still strangers and too full of pride to be anything but at each other’s throats. Rin was first introduced to Bon’s hands as painful fists around his shirt and against his skin - but Rin wasn’t one to talk, not when his own hands are more than familiar with the feeling of creating bruises and drawing blood. They didn’t used to be gentle at all.

But somewhere along the way, things changed. There’s a certain familiarity in the way Bon slaps him on the back, a certain warmth in the way Bon’s palms press against Rin’s shoulder blades. A certain softness when Bon patches him up after a rough fight with a demon. A certain gentleness when Bon’s fingers slip through Rin’s hair, when he thinks Rin is asleep, carefully untangling the messy knots like he has all the time in the world.

Bon’s hands are gentle, so gentle it almost hurts. 

(Rin’s own hands twitch with the want to hold them close, hold them steady, to be gentle back - but he’s still not sure he’s capable of being gentle just yet.)

what is more homoerotic than the fact that rin and bon would have both literally died at birth if the other didn't exist

How do you get your drawings to be high quality? Whenever I post art the quality is SO bad 💔

uhm... sorry this is got long. for some reason you activated my work mode. i don't have a constumer service voice but i have like an explenation mode for clients so... uhm. here is way more information that you asked for. my apologies...

Resolution is what determines the sharpness of the artwork. The low-resolution illustration will appear pixelated when scaled in large sizes. this is why it is recommended to work on a digital canvas with a resolution of at least 300 dpi when you work. (i prefer 400dpi)

dpi are Dots Per Inch. dots just being a different name for pixels. the more pixels are contained in an inch the smoother lines and gradients are. an indication of higher quality. but, the device you are working on has to use up most of its ram/power to calculate the preview on the screen. so higher quality demands more capacity from your device but also from websites that display your artwork. Soo... 

I have two files.  One on 400 dpi is way larger for me for smooth comfortable drawing. and the second drawing is sized down to 150dpi to accommodate the recommended resolution of the website I want to post the image. 

luckily for us, most social media sites have a similar resolution.  Tumblr's Dashboard images have a minimum size of 500 x 750 pixels, a maximum expanded the size of 2048 x 3072 pixels, and a recommended size of 1280 x 1920 pixels for a 2:3 aspect ratio.

I use a with of 1280. the high depends on the drawing

It's way easier and recommended to size images down rather than up. 

sizing artwork up would put them through an interlacing process, which means that the graphics program of your choice would calculate the average between two pixes and add it in between them. It adds pixels to make the image larger. easy answer it blurs your image.  it isn't the end of the world if you have to size up the image a tiny bit.  I kind of have to do a bit all the time for work. and most of the time it's fine! it depends on your art style and how forgiving it can be. 

It's also a difference if you post images in a JEPG or PNG.  uhm... without going into much detail... take PNG just trust me. 

now... a tiny little last trick out of my sleeve. 

if you... use photoshop. and you want some extra sharpness.  you can sharpen your images with the high pass filter.

Duplicate your artwork

Filter > other >highpass 

As soon you select High Pass, your image will turn grey

It works by filling the entire image with flat, neutral grey. It then looks for edges in the image and highlights them by making the light side of the edge lighter and the dark side darker.

Don't overdo it. keep the contrast low. a radius of 1,5px is enough most of the time!

Click okay to exit the menu and set the layer on overlay. 

ta-da! it is sharp and crisp!!!

It's all a trick!!! vary subtle... i know but ehh i like it

I am sorry I don't know if other programs also have this option. I know CSP has a sharpening filter. but... you can keep images crisp by keeping resolution and dpi in mind too. 

uhm... well so... -hides-
