"Fortunes told, futures unfold."
The sign at the local ren faire looks tempting. After all, Steve is one year out of high school and has no idea where his life is going. Sometimes he wishes someone could just gaze into the future and figure it out for him.
In the fortune teller’s tent, Steve has a run-in with his past. And if he doesn’t turn on his heel and leave, it has absolutely nothing to do with how pretty Eddie Munson looks in his costume, all gleaming jewelry and dark tendrils of hair spilling out from under a patterned headscarf. He lets Eddie read his palm, because why the hell not? It’s all bogus anyway!
Except, as the summer goes on, Steve finds that Eddie’s cryptic predictions somehow, inexplicably keep coming true. As they keep running into each other, almost as if orchestrated by an invisible force, Steve can’t help but be intrigued with the other boy. He also can’t seem to forget how pretty Eddie’s eyes look in black liner, or the way his fingers feel on his skin, but that is an entirely different problem.

Palmistry — the art of reading the lines on people’s palms — is another form of fortune-telling that dates back to ancient times. It became especially popular in the Renaissance, captured here in this jaunty painting by Caravaggio:
Palm-readers often used a guide, like this one from 1648:

Indication of Happiness, Prosperity & Love Marriage
Cross On Jupiter Mount / Below Index Finger
If you have a cross on the mount of Jupiter, it means that you will attract true love and attention from the opposite sex. This usually indicates a happy marriage where you will support your partner through thick and thin. You will be blessed with a caring, understanding, and loving spouse who has a big and genuine heart.
Guardian Angel Line
The Guardian Angel line, which runs parallel to the lifeline, adds strength and protection to it. This means that you will receive constant help and support from your spouse, friends, family, relatives, or even unseen forces, which can be crucial in maintaining healthy relationships.
Curve Heartline towards Jupiter Mount
If your heart line is curved and goes to the Jupiter mount under the index finger, it shows that you have the ability to selflessly love and help others without expecting anything in return, regardless of the relationship. You are good at expressing your emotions and affections in an effective and honest way, which is important in building strong relationships.

Okay, so. Palm reading. From the poor laggy tiktok live (thank you so much @follivora for recording ❤️) which is still much more than I ever expected! Disclaimer that I learned it from my cousin's grandpa who lived in a forest and was more often drunk than sober lol, so there's no science behind it. I do this as a party trick often and it seems to be more accurate than not so who knows 🤷♀️ maybe drinking selfmade alcohol in the woods does give some magic powers.
I got Bojan's and Nace's hands below the cut. Sadly Jure's hand was right one (I can read only from the left, supposedly it's closer to the heart so more accurate, idk). And I couldn't catch Jan's :<
More below the cut:
Bojan:
He really has the softest babyhands because it was hard to see SHIT no matter how close to camera😬. What I did manage to see is:
Occupation line: Has many hobbies he feels strongly about and they all bring more or less good money.
Money line: (more like resources line) is nice and visible and will stay like that (so he can start subscribing to OF with no worries).
SOULMATE LINE: There is a soulmate visible who will be a very fulfilling relationship. Can't say if already met or not, but the actual settled down life starts quite later (made some +10years from now or so?). Oh! and the soulmate is met through the hobby that's bringing him the most money :) so.. :)))
Lifespan line: I think I saw something around 80+ years of life..? but really hard to say. Also when looking closely this line tells a lot about accidents and illnesses. I think.. I might have seen some accidents which are usually on a similar level like breaking a bone.. but then Bojan's health is not a secret to us (poor victorian boy).
Nace:
Jan was really fondling that hand :D so it's well visible (would love to see in person 🥲)
Nace has very clear lines which normally are for people who are confident about their decisions.
Occupation line: he has one set line which matches both hobby and job. So no surprise his hobby is his job. There are some breaks but it stays on the path (for example on Bojan's palm there are a lot more "side quests")
Money line: Actually seems to be doing a bit better than Bojan's :D Especially in the later life. Maybe Nace is taking tips from Jere and investing to real estate. Who knows.
SOULMATE line: y'all gonna love this one :D it starts very VERY early and it's the most visible one. I don't know what to tell, only that he already met the soulmate, they're already happily together, met through shared hobby/job line and it's going to stay like that to the end.
Life line: a bit hard to see but it seems appropriate long one (with a lot of slow illnesses for the last 15+ years which are usually associated with old age). Can't really spot any serious accidents, but he does seem a bit clumsy..
I can make a line graph if anyone is interested? Or if you want your own palm reading always feel free to dm :D (has to be left hand). But again, I've no idea how legit it is and for sure it's not science :D
