Aries: Pounds your back to make sure you know how intense their love is
Taurus: Perfectly aligns hearts and holds you tight. A powerful warmth begins to spread through your body. Your eyes well up. A single tear threatens to fall. Then the hug breaks, and the moment is over.
Gemini: Asks first: “Do you need a hug?” Wraps arms around you, holds tight for a sec, then slaps your back in a brolike fashion and awkwardly breaks apart to avoid seeming too touchy-feely
Cancer: Gives and takes hugs in equal measure. Soft, gentle, and warm. Why hugs were invented
Leo: Casual hugs all the time, no biggie
Virgo: Getting a hug from them is like getting a hug from God; you can’t believe you made it to this moment, you must have done something right
Libra: hugs who they want to hug plus EVERYONE ELSE just to be fair so it doesn’t look like they’re showing favoritism or anything
Scorpio: *checks pockets*
Sagittarius: Short hugs, touch-and-go, like they’re about to catch a flight out of the country. Are they vacationing, or on the run? Will you ever see them again? No one knows
Capricorn: You have just sealed a pact of friendship forever, expect them a call from them at 8 pm on a Wednesday night 20 years from now to catch up like you just saw each other yesterday

for @alicehoffmans ; thank you for writing such a wonderful piece of art! This is definitely one of my all-time favorite Tudor fics, and I wanted to show my love for it by putting some of my favorite lines in GIF form.
Eleven EU countries are prepared to offer an outright apology for slavery, led by Belgium, which currently holds the presidency of the EU and is conducting the official negotiations with the African bloc.
But four others – Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal – are prepared only to express “regret” about the slave trade, without any specific recognition of responsibility.
[…] EU delegates agree that they are not prepared to call slavery a crime against humanity, because it could have legal implications and force them to pay reparations. Britain says that even an apology could have damaging consequences.
