#daniil lore

if you knew if you knew if you knewwwww i think about it saur myuch... i always go back and forth about what i want Their Living Arrangements to be but in their big age i think dankovsky either lives full-time or is around most of the time at burakh's house [now his too] because the bed is big and high and comfortable [and burakh's always been vaguely aware there are chances he might have been conceived in it but that made them laugh at 30 and it will make them heartily chuckle at 55] and they can both get inside it with their creaky bones. i think they still often see The Horrors flashing before their eyes i think it never goes away but even in their older age they find how to comfort each other. the blanky.

they're normal about each other's hands [see: "gentle hands of a surgeon", see: whatever the fuck that paragraph was about the hands in fic of mine] and as they age and the skin becomes thinner and the veins more apparent they're both oh so reverent about all the specks and the nicks and the small chemical burns and the decades-old scratches and cuts. kind kisses on the age spots that have appeared on the back of the hands, on the arms.

they've been navigating pain and trauma for decades together they found then and they still find now how to care for the other, and the weird way old phantom stitches itch at night... still... and again...

dankovsky has always indulged in fancy robes but as he ages he doubles down... more silk for the man... burakh pretends he does not understand his fancies but by god he will pet that soft fabric as he would skin. i think they've laid off cigarettes and booze; burakh still indulges in a twyre pipe from time to time, but dankovsky has doubled down on being a Tea Enjoyer, and thoroughly puled burakh in...

this easily goes in the top 5 most powerful asks i've received i am choking with laughter. now that's the spirit. now THAT'S the spirit. and you know what since you liked it that much i'll add:

had andrey and peter eaten one of each other in the womb they'd have been fine. they'd have lived. you know that bad david cage game where a character has like a dead twin(? it's been a while since i heard of it) living in their mind and that dead mental twin can do telekinesis and shit. that would happen to them. and they'd be fine with it no like anguish or anything. in fact that would probably have been better for them. right. so they'd be fine. consumption is fine for them. as i've mentioned it's either consumption (not. literally. not in a cannibal way. i mean it as in like a... subsuming way. covering way. melding the person in their lives until all three are intertwined. as i've said: andrey's Threefold Bullet line, SO I AM YOU! etc) or elimination (they wouldn't Consume farkhad. he was like a bone in their throat. he was too tough to chew. so the other option...)

right? consuming farkhad they think would have given them balance. continuation. the bridge between the two of them. but he wasn't that. he was a thorn in their side instead of a bridge of flesh. they feel like they are/(should have been born) conjoined, and that third half is the bridge of flesh to bind them. and dankovsky. he does that, know? in a way he does. by his ending "Keep a close eye on Peter. You'd become desperate and turn into a villain without him" / "Hold Andrey's hand—or he may do something bad…" right. they're mental_asylum_pov_tiktok.mp4 about it.

they gotta eat him. it's a missing-piece trinity. the binding agent. digestive juice. you gotta eat him. it's the only way. what if they were hungry... would you keep food out of their mouths? would you starve them? look at this fucking thing.

would you dare keep him from eating a person? you dare? you STARVE him? you STARVE petya? you'd do that? you have to let him. or he will be so so sad. his misery will increase. you STARVE petya?

#YAAASSS ok let's get to it

hi bestieee i do hc him as armenian (mother's side) & georgian (father's side) with his father's family having been installed in russia longer than his mother's.

there is nothing in canon like Textually to #support my thesis but i didn't really came up with it by myself, it went like this:

>discussing with fellow pathologic enjoyer >i mention my very very favorite dankovsky portrait of all times >i mention how much i like how the artist did his brows and general shape >enjoyer mentions that the artist afatk headcanons him as [i don't remember if they said the artist hc'd him as armenian exactly, but they hc'd him as Somewhere From The Caucasus. I do believe they mentioned armenian specifically and that's where i got it from] >i go It's so so real it's so so true >i run with it >makes him in the little caucasian mountains soup >BOOM chokha dankovsky

when i had ganders around, i saw a few other members of the russian fandom also hc'ing him as from the general caucasus area, and again to me So real. i see it. i witness it.
