After seeing multiple people talk about Neil's cruncy/greasy hair from all the dye and/or bleach, I have many opinions.
Cause first of all, with how long neil probably keeps his hair, that's all replaced within like 6 months at most. (His haircut is probably choppy though because we all know he cuts it himself because he would never "waste" money on getting it cut somewhere nice.)
Second, while we read Neil's pov in the books he's been dying his hair black, so no bleach necessary. And while I can't remember how long he spent in Millport, leftover bleach from his previous identity would be cut by the time he's at Palmetto.
Third (this one requires more explanation so bear with me), after a decade of disguising himself (along with help from Mary) I think he's REALLY good at making his dye jobs look as natural as possible cause even though people dye their hair all the time and having a hair color other than your natural one doesn't make you suspicious, they would have to pass through security with ID that matched however they were supposed to look at that time. That all to say that I don't think he would have super greasy hair either (just the normal greasy that comes from using 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner). From the experience of frequently helping my sister touch up her roots, when you're just doing roots, you don't usually need to redye the rest of the hair. (Root touch ups for a normal person, aka not Neil, are about 6 weeks.) And in my sister's case, her natural hair is a dark brown and does need to be bleached to dye it the red that she keeps it, Neil putting black over his red hair would not be that difficult and I dont think he wouldn't continue to layer black over the parts that are already dyed black when he doesn't need to, partially because it's a waste of dye and when he's finally by himself he would save the dye as long as he could, and also a super dark black on someone who spends as much time outside as he does it wouldn't make sense (or look natural) as opposed to if it faded naturally in the sun.
TLDR: So, basically, I don't think Neil would have crunchy or super greasy hair, just the hair or someone who doesn't care enough to take care of it because it was never his priority.
(after Jean bleaches and dyes it red it would definitely be a little crispy but I think it would fade and grow quick enough that it doesn't last that long)

F/O Descriptions: Part 2
Taken from kittyandco’s self-ship ask prompt~ Finally getting back on the wagon with my writing...It’s been so long since I did one of these, yeesh...!
Tumblr media
🌸 Describe your f/o’s hair.
Tumblr media
🌹 Alice ~
Alice has actually always been a little self-conscious of her hair, ever since her head was shaved during her admittance to the asylum. Growing up, she had long pretty hair, just like her dear big sister. Losing it at the asylum was very traumatic...it just never grew back the same way after that. When she was living at Bumby’s, there often wasn’t enough hot water to heat the baths for the rest of the orphans living in the house, so for practicality’s sake, she started cutting her own hair to keep it short. She’s always embarrassed about her choppy trimming job...she’ll continue of dreaming of long beautiful hair though, whether on herself in Wonderland or on her partner...
(My personal headcannon on why Alice’s hair color changed from brown to black in Madness Returns is from the sooty dirty London air and being trapped in an overcrowded orphanage just made her hair really greasy...LOL, sorry Alice!!😭 )
Tumblr media
🔪  Johnny ~
He would never admit it, but he’s fussy over how his hair looks. He’ll play with it in the mirror when no-one’s looking: messing with his fringe and how it dangles over his eyes, trying to find the best angle that makes him look the most brooding and mysterious. (He’ll pitch a fit—and by that I mean murderous rampage—if you catch him doing it, so be careful!)
Despite all his fussing, he enjoys changing his look when his mood suits it. He’s cycled through many different hair colors, attacking his hair with dye and scissors over the bathroom sink. The color he kept the longest before letting it fade back to his natural color was blue.
Tumblr media
🪓 Anna (The Huntress) ~
(Yes I’m choosing the unmasked model of Anna for this post--I couldn’t find a good gif that suited the subject)
Hair? What hair? ...kidding, kidding! But Anna doesn’t think about her hair at all—only when it gets long enough to run her fingers through it. Then it just becomes a nuisance. She’ll find her smallest blade available and hack away at it. She finds the sensation of longer hair irritating—traditional beauty standards aren’t something that ever crossed her mind while living alone in the Red Forest. All of her brain power is channeled into survival and the hunt...if something dares distract her from getting the kill, then she’ll get rid of it....even if it’s just to keep a growing fringe from out of her eyes.
Tumblr media
💜  Daniella ~
She wakes up before dawn to set her perfect curls with an old-fashioned curling rod—the kind made of iron that’s heated over hot coals. In the darkness before the sunrise, she sets her hair in her two perfect tidy parts, not minding when the sizzling iron rod burns her fingertips. Sometimes she touches it on purpose, just to try to feel something.
When she lets her hair down, it’s so shiny and unbelievably soft. The kind of hair that a porcelain doll would have. It’s quite long too—it reaches the center of her back. No one is ever around to see it in its full glory, though...she only lets her hair down in the privacy of her private maid’s chambers. In the shadowy darkness of the midnight hours, in complete secrecy will she brush her beautiful silvery hair out from its tight ringlets, to an audience of no one at all.

Memory lane.
Jung Jaehyun | +1.3K words | fluff.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jaehyun’s favorite hobby was to make fun of you for always taking your camera everywhere. Every time you took yet another picture, you could hear him behind you, scoffing softly. You never needed to look at him to know he was smiling, dimples and pout in full display.
“ We take photos as a return…” You used to say. “ ticket to a moment otherwise gone, I know. ”
It was your favorite quote, and Jaehyun was always here to finish it for you with a shit-eating grin on his angelic face. But at the end of the day, he was more than happy to help you with the book of memories you were making. Seated in front of you, he was looking at you like you were his everything, snatching pictures from your slightly smaller hand to try and remember what happened at that moment. And this was your favorite passtime together.
Today is no exception. In the couch, you look at the last pictures you took during the last few months as you did not have time to have them develop earlier. Smiling is all you can do, as the memories are playing in your mind.
You had the keys of your very first apartment with Jaehyun a few days prior and to say you were over the moon was an understament. After years of living in a dorm with an invasive roommate, you finally had a place of your own. No need to yell for the space to be clean. No need to wait for you roommate to be out of town to have Jaehyun spending the night with you in the small bed.
“ Y/n, I think we have a problem. ”
Entering the bathroom, you see Jaehyun standing in the middle of the flooded room, trying not to get his pants wet. The washing machine broke.
“ I know I said I wanted a pool, but not in the bathroom. ” Jaehyun laughs. “ As much as I would love to have you naked, I think we need to go to the laundromat. ”
You whine, not wanting to spend your first day off waiting for your clothes to be clean and dry ! But as it was the only solution, you both found yourself in the closest laundromat. Jaehyun had the idea to bring a book to pass the time, and as usual, you had your old camera with you. You don’t know how many pictures you took of your boyfriend, all you know is that he’s suddenly looking at you with a frown.
“ Don’t you want to enjoy the moment ? ” He asks. “ There is litteraly nothing to enjoy here. Your beauty is the only exciting thing happening here. ”
His whole face lights up, cheeks a soft tint of rose as he rolls his eyes.
“ Greasy. ”
Tumblr media
Three months later, you can still hear his embarassed laugh and the way he avoided your gaze until you left the store.
The next picture makes you smile even more. The apartment is quiet but you can imagine the music you were listening to the day you took it.
Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin is softly playing in the background when Jaehyun enters the living room. He lets his backpack on the floor and walk toward you. You are sitting on the carpet, in front of the coffee table where your books pile up next to your laptop.
“ I want pink hair. ”
You lift an eyebrow, looking at your boyfriend. Because of a bet made with his friends while drunk, he had to bleach his hair. He looks adorable with blonde hair, you can’t say otherwise but pink ? You like the idea.
“ You don’t like it ? ” He pouts. “ What ? Oh no ! I’m pretty sure you’ll look adorable with pink hair. ”
The smile plastered on his face makes your heart beats faster. Even after all of these years, he still manages to make you feel like an high-school girl with a crush.
“ I think we still have leftovers from the time you dyed Johnny’s hair pink. ”
He squeals with excitement before running to the bathroom to rummage through the cupboard.
“ I have it ! And you’re doing it ! ”
Of course, you think. His shirt dissapeared when he comes back to you. Your jaw drops every time you see Jaehyun’s body. He is so toned and you just want to run your fingers around his defined abs.
“ What ? I don’t want to stain my shirt ! ”
Living with Jaehyun is like living with a child. And it’s confirmed when more dye ends up on his bare chest and back rather than on his hair.
“ If you don’t want to have pink dye on your face, and look like a clown in class tomorrow, stop moving ! ”
It was the easy part. The difficult one was to keep him from cuddling you and staining everything around him. If the expensive couch came back alive from this experience, you can’t say the same for your favorite t-shirt. It’s your fault. You couldn’t listen Jaehyun whines any longer, you had to cuddle him for a little while. What can you say ? You’re weak for your boyfriend. As expected, he looked as gorgeous as ever with pink hair, and he even let you take several pictures. A first.
Tumblr media
After a few minutes, you finally find the picture you were looking for. It’s the last you took of him.
His pink hair faded in a pretty dusty color you couldn’t really explain. He was too focused to even see you and your camera and the noise around you kept him from noticing anything. The café is crowded today, probably because of the rain. Jaehyun’s closest friends are here too, they are making small talk with you, noticing how dazed off your boyfriend is. You don’t blame him, he is waiting the call that might change his life. You see, Jaehyun wants to be a writer. His biggest dream isn’t to have many books with his name on the covers, but one good enough to mark people’s life. The kind of book you want to have in your bag even if you know you won’t have time to read. Just knowing it’s here is enough to comfort you. And he spent many years writing this book. It took him a long time before growing enough confidence to send it. Today is the d-day. He never wanted you to read it, but you know Jaehyun. You know him better than yourself, you know it’s going to be good. And if not, he will try again with another publisher. When the phone rings, all you can think of is your boyfriend. His hands are shaking, and he is trying not to let any emotion when he is talking. His smile and the tears in his eyes are enough of an answer for you. And at this moment, you don’t even think about your camera. For once, you enjoy the moment.
Even without a picture, you will never forget his face when he understood it was the beginning of something new. Rubbing the tears you off your cheeks you laugh softly, as you haven’t noticed you were crying. You would give the world to hear him sigh at your camera, to share memories together one last time. To simply have him by your side. You turn the picture between your finger, watching the thin black lines. Jaehyun’s handwriting.
“ Don’t be sad my love, you’ll be the first person I’ll search for in my next life. I’ll be waiting for you, I promise. In the meantime, take a trip down memory lane with these beautiful pictures. ”

“Double” Trouble
(A little warm up typing before my research paper that’s due... tomorrow. I’m an idiot.)
(Also I should mention this was inspired by an rp with a friend)
Adam woke slowly to the feeling of giggles leaving his mouth. They were soft and breathless, but he couldn’t shake the feeling on his tummy. He tried to push the hand away once more, leaning forward to escape. It was no use. The body followed behind him, tickling softly.
“Shiro shahaop, I’m trying toaho sleep,” he protested. He was filled with more energy as lips traveled down the side and back of his neck. “I had a nightmare,” Shiro pouted. Adam squealed trying to push him away. “So whahay are yhahou thaharaying to ghahaive me one?”
He was pulled underneath the shorter’s body, his bare chest being used as a pillow, fingers dangerously close t his underarms. “You okay?” Adam panted slightly as he stroked his fingers through Shiro’s hair. It felt... a bit greasy. They had just showered a few hours ago. ‘Sweat maybe,’ Adam figured. 
“Am now,” Shiro sighed contently, burying his face into Adam more. Snorting softly Adam took his eyes off Shiro’s face too look down his body. Was his hair darker? It could have been the lighting but his bangs were still white. He pulled back his hand. Was it hair dye? 
Looking at his palm it proved to be clean. Maybe it was sleepy eyes and lack of glasses? Yeah.. sure. Add only one functioning eye onto that and it could be an explanation. He started to drift off again, fingers stilling in the other’s locks. 
“Adam,” Shiro whined. “Hm?” He moved up higher onto Adam after pulling the man onto the bare mattress. “Takashi it’s late. Are you sick?” He normally got this clingy when he didn’t feel good. “No, I’m just.... scared.” Sighing Adam ruffled his hair slightly, it still seemed black compared to everything else. 
After a few moments Adam started to giggle again. “You tickling me,” he cried softly. Lips left small kisses up his abdomen to his neck. Wrapping his arms around the other he was a little taken off as to brush against two arms. Maybe he hit the fore arm? That’s the only way Shiro could have two arms. It did feel like metal so probably. 
However, this was nice. They were in space fighting a new war together. The stresses, fears, etc., seem to fade in moment like these. “Tickle monster is gonna getcha,” Shiro whispered into his ear. A blush emerged on Adam’s face before he whimpered. “Nahahao, Kashi,” he huffed. Shiro escaped his hold, moving down on the other’s body. 
The blanket was pulled over him before fingers and lips descended over Adam’s tummy. “Pffahahaha! Sthahahp it,” Adam giggled. His back was arching slightly, he wasn’t fully awake yet. He snorted softly as he processed the noises coming from under the blankets. Shiro was pretending to eat him! 
“Kahahasi, dhahahid you drink?” The lips stop as Shiro peaks his head out, “Nope, just water. He vanished back under the covers tickling down the other’s legs. “Sthahahap it, Shiro!” A deep chuckle came from under the covers. “Your husband isn’t here right now, only the tickle monster!” Lifting Adam’s leg, he began to blow raspberries by the hem of his boxer briefs. 
The brunette snorted and squealed as he tried to break free. “Kahahshi help,” he squealed. He was feeling a little playful now, despite still being in a daze. “Your dear husband is a little busy I’m afraid,” Shiro teased. 
Fingers trace down to his calves, up to under his knees, before hitting the under and inside of his thighs. Occasionally entering his inner thigh which earned more of a reaction than the rest. “Chahahan wheheh go back to sleep,” Adam giggled as Shiro tickled the muscle on his calves. 
He watched through a teary eye as the lump shifted further down the bed. “Hmm... not yet,” he giggled. Suddenly Adam shrieked with laughter. His feet and toes were under attack! “Toahahahooo much,” he squealed. Feeling the nimble stubs glide across his smooth, soft soles was maddening. The same could be said about the under side of his toes, the insides however made him want to barf. It felt so gross but tickled so bad!
Suddenly to the shared bedroom opened, letting light from the hall flood into the room. Adam turned his head, covering his face in embarrassment. Shiro still hadn’t stopped tickling him! Figuring it was just Keith he’d let the other handle this. “Adam what’s wrong, I heard you scream! Wait... why are you laughing?” Wait... what? 
Brown eyes shot open as he turned around. Shiro rushed towards him, trying to pull his hands away. Even through teary, blurry, one eyed vision his hair looked so much lighter. The glow from his arm was the next thing to catch his attention. Panic took over as he whimpered and tried to pull his feet free from the other. He was scared. 
Looking down to the large lump under the blankets, Shiro also grew nervous. Slowly he leaned down before ripping the covers away. A blow to the face caused him to hit the floor before a body was on top of him. Two more were delivered before they both heard yelling. Adam finally composed himself before latching onto the smaller of the Shiro’s. 
It was the last thing he could recall before Keith entered the room. 
Waking up slowly he tried to stretch, only to find himself being used as a body pillow. ‘Morning,” he grumbled with out opening his eyes. Shiro chuckled before pressing a kiss against Adam’s cheek. “Good morning.” A soft chuckle escaped his lips. 
“What,” the other groaned as sleep was trying to hold onto him. “I just... we’ve been married for how long now? You thought that was me?” He started to laugh a bit more heartedly now. Adam blushed before pushing the other away. “Shut up, it was late.” Shiro let out a whine. “Adam.” He clung to him like a kola as he turned on his side. 
“Go away, jerk,” Adam mumbled. He suddenly giggled, flexing his legs. “Nahahaho! I’ve beheheen tortured enough!” The robotic arm had started to tickle his feet while a nose moved behind his ear. “Hm.... no. You let a stranger into our room Adam. This is punishment” 
The other huffed in annoyance between helpless shrieks. “Yhahaou ass, yhahahaou left me in thehehe middle of the night!” After thinking a moment the other nodded. Stopping his attack, he held the panting man closer. ‘Why... did.. y... you leave?” He was too tired to get any more words than that out. 
“Nightmare. Wanted to clear my head before waking you.” Adam huffed. “Well wake me next time,” he yawned. “I don’t want to be kissed and held, and tickled by a look-a-like.” Shiro froze. “Wait.... what?” 
Let’s just say the ship had a few pods ejected into space that day.

the morning routine of crabs and cats
consider this a part two of nine seconds. just a morning routine fic. changed the names of the gang to be the normal names we all know.
________________
santos valerius mariyam, and you're up to start the day...after maybe a few minutes. You crack your eye open to the dark wall of your bedroom on the right side of your room where the door is. Oh how sleep eggs you onto continue but alas your need to be up for your partner eggs you on more.
You slide a hand over your face to get you up a bit more, making note of how itchy your stubble is, another thing to put on your list of why you should get up that you keep trying to put off. You turn slightly to view the digital clock on your nightstand, moving it a little closer to find the numbers 6:09 on it.
You sigh softly. You hate how much those two numbers seem to get to you. It’s enough to have you move your legs currently under the blankets around your daughters’, turned also your dear diane’s pet siberian cat: pounce de leon the third. A name your partner gave as a running theme with her life of having pet cats with that name. You nearly detested it considering she was nepeta’s gift, but then again nepeta was three at the time and apparently liked the name. You do wonder if it was the feisty femme who encouraged her behind your back unnoticed or if this was an early sign for her intricate online ‘role-plays’ she’d annoy kar on.
Regardless, pounce is nice...when you don’t get in her way. And you try your best not to as you shift your legs to curl up to your bare abdomen and scootch to the end of your side of the bed to get up, only getting a light grumbled growl from her when one of your toes during it flinched a bit to poke at her. You’ll make a note to make her some scrambled eggs.
Yes this is exactly why you're getting up, family breakfasts of six plus you equaling seven is a lot. It’s more when you're also the one having to get four adolescents ready for school. Granted diane has mentioned on occasions that you could just sleep in a little longer and let her do what she does, but when have you ever NOT gone out of your way to be helpful? Hah, blasphemy absolute balderdash!... excuse the language.
You walk down the hall your bedroom is located, that leads to the fridge and entrance of your kitchen. On the wall of them are family pictures strewed about, making you smile and remind yourself the headache you're going to get once they all wake up will always be worth it.
You start taking out everything you’ll need; eggs, bread, biscuits, grapes, orange’s, apples, bagged spinach, small bag of shredded cheese, you’ll hold off on anything further as you take out one of the five pans you have on your bottom left drawer of your small counter portion between the stove and fridge and put the heat on two and wait.
As it starts you go about cracking the eggs in one of your many small plastic cups from the cupboards. You're not too worried about being too loud considering even if meu wasn’t deaf your children sleep like bear cubs, or tiger cubs as nepeta would correct you on. You pour them into the pan and start putting in small amounts of spinach and mixed cheese into it. Your diane has some...interesting taste that is as far as you will comment on it.
As it continues you busy yourself getting a cutting board and knife, slicing a granny smith apple you took out earlier. Being a father made you very skilled in hearing the smallest of sounds like how much more sizzled the makeshift omelette is getting before you’ll have to take it off soon.
By 6:13 you hear the sound of your bedroom shower go off, and by 6:33 you hear the soft patter of her steps as you busy gently trying to peel an orange, feeling her calloused firm hands on your back, feeling her chin on your shoulder as she whispers out a purr of a statement to you; “you furrgot something~” and soon your not seeing an orange but instead the black fleece of your night shirt.
You jump a little with a light yelp as she giggles, walking away fully clothed in her court reporter uniform. Hair still wild but you know why as the well dressed woman in front of you starts scoffing down her omelette like it’s a medium rare fresh off the stove greasy steak. Something you have seen before in your eighteen years with her.
You put your shirt on quickly, slightly embarrassed you forgot it and grateful your kids aren't early birds. She hands you a comb from the inside of her coat and you have no further instruction as you move to stand behind her and gently brush out the morning knots she hadn’t been able to wash out. You swear though she tries purring like a cat when you do this and you can’t really deny it’s cute.
You fluff up her hair a little as she starts eating her apple slices, handing you a ponytail holder and some hairpins; you catch some that nearly fall to the ground from how fast she pulls them out. Her job requires her to look as cleancut and professional as she can, which unfortunately they did not allow ponytails despite it being the only way she could put up her hair in her thirty-five years. You're not judging though, you're a fast learner when it came to your mother letting you learn when she’d grow out her hair a bit during your years...and some online tutorials but you won't let her know that she couldn't 100% help you.
Once you're done pulling her bangs back with the pins and putting the bun in as tight but as comfortable of a position you could due to her wild hair you give her a pat and in turn she gets up, turns around and hugs you.
“Be back by fur.”
“Four?”
“You're no furrun.” she sticks her tongue out at you playfully as you boop it like it was a blep. She retracts it and gives a playful pout before giggling as she starts to leave through the front door.
Now...was time for the rest of the morning to resume. By 7:02 you're back to making a big batch of scrambled eggs using four eggs in the pan as you hear the upstairs shower go off. By 7:19 you hear the steps coming down and a formal “good morning father.” from your second oldest. It was common of him to be the first up. You turn and offer him his plain scrambled eggs, red grapes and two cherry flavored vitamin gummies giving your own warm “morning.” as you look him over. Already dressed and...hm...you look to where his hairline is and notice the lightest bit of grey almost albino white peeking out from his dyed light auburn hair. You make a note to look for that again for later.
Apparently you stared for too long and he starts opening his mouth. “Father while i understand your surprise of my dye fading it is highly uncomfortable and quite rude to stare and make a proverbial judgement on my appearance.” he starts going off and its as if you went back in time to meet your old self with less fanciful words and lower levels of sass. You prevent yourself from sighing outloud less you risk a tangent on him assuming you're a negligent parent over his feelings, something you’ve gotten before with a reaction you really regret giving to him.
“Not making any judgements.” you reply cooly as you go to pour cheese over the rationed scrambled eggs on plates. “Apologies in advance however.” you mumble and he hums in acceptance, already distracted with breakfast. By 7:24 you hear rustling, a loud scream of “FUCKIN HELL!” and soon you hear one door open, sleepily slogged steps and a tiny yawn coming from the stairs.
“How’s the huntress?” you ask as she grumbles a “too early fur rolepurraaaay.” and flops to hold onto your hip. You slather the toast with the last bits of peanut butter and offer her a plate of cheese covered eggs, peanut buttered piece of toast cut in half and a small bowl of green grapes. “Too early for her hunt either?” you ask and she opens her eyes slightly, pouting at the food sleepily before taking it and walking to the couch that sits at the wall next to the staircase with a yawn and a click of the tv to animal planet’s show “the most extreme”.
As you set the plate of eggs, two pieces of jam covered toast cut in fours, a small bowl of green grapes and a grape and orange flavored vitamin gummies next to kankri’s seat you hear the fast tumbling steps come down the steps and a near slip gaining a not loud but loud enough to hear “shit.”
“Language.” you and kankri echo as kar groans, going to his seat and eating immediately. “We don't need to talk about inside voices and language rules now do we son?” you ask and get an annoyed huff as he eats. “My stupid alarm didnt go off.” you sigh, he had a very specific way of getting up. Usually he’d be the second one up before your daughters, you have to wonder where these boys’ early bird sides came from.
“Doesn't mean you should be going around using such problematic language in front of those who do not share the sentiment of, as quoted, tossing around a ‘sailor mouth’.” you hear kankri go and hear a mesh of an annoyed chuckle from your other son. “Oh you want problematic-”
“So where’s meu?” you ask immediately looking over at the two giving your best genuine question and ‘don't you dare start a fight or you're both grounded from your electronic devices for the weekend’ expression that seems to get their hint as kar grumbles a “hanging out on her phone. I think. Kinda passed by didnt notice.”
You give a small thanks as you put a small plate of toasted butter biscuits and an orange as perfectly peeled of its veins as you could get it with your bigger thicker fingers that you’ve been working on an off while everything was cooking on the end of the island before taking your phone out of your boxer’s pocket, something your very glad mother was able to make a possibility.
You turn it on waiting a few seconds for it to boot up before clicking on your phone messages, noticing one from diane and one from thion which you make note to check later. You click on her number and name and go into the gif option. Your grateful for this being an alternative to get her attention as you send a cute cat gif and line of text reading ‘breakfast’s ready’ and wait. It was much easier then going all the way up and trying to gesture that meals were ready or she was needed downstairs with your not exactly perfect sign language.
After five minutes you hear light thumping from the steps as meulin prances down them, phone in hand as you offer her her breakfast that she stands up to eat. Look to find the time is already 8:05. You go bout quickly to the door to slip on your outdoor crocks for short errands that everyone, even your own mother has gotten on your case for, but you really don't care you usually put these onto escort your eldists to the bus station with little to no notice as you state. “Alright get your things ready you two.”
You only hear silence before a collection of “father we may’ve been lenient on your footwear but this attire can be highly uncomfortable and triggering-”, “are those crabs? lobsters?” , “your...not taking us in that riiiight?” and “dad get some freakin pants!” to make you realize you’ve gone about this entire morning...without pants. You immediately go running in your leaf green crocks to your room.
After a few minutes of fixing your pants error you find your two eldest have gotten their pack and satchel respectively for the other on, and shoes. It’s about 8:10 when you go out with them. The bus usually comes at 8:15 and thankfully you're not too far, of course you have to power run a little once you see it in the distance and get dirt and small rocks through the holes in your crocks in your shoes, reminding you maybe you should just go out in flip flops instead.
Thankfully the three of you get there before it opens its doors, you wave em both off with kankri already bee-lining for the entrance and meulin at least giving you a distracted wave as both have grown to directing their attention to their friends, who one nice young lady with short hair waves at you more enthusiastically and a couple “ey mister val!”s echo before the bus takes off.
You go to walk back to your home, knowing your kids were still being looked over by your mother, who thankfully sent you a message that she went to check on them as you take your time walking back, trying to lose the uncomfortable nature related rubble out of your shoes.
You ultimately give up and toss' em onto the step that leads to your glass door before opening the wooden one behind it. You're now realizing why your entire family got onto your case, crocs really are the devil of shoes. As you walk in you hear the click of an upstairs door knowing why.
Your twins are homeschooled, nepeta joined online school last year while karkat had been in his since halfway through third grade after some complaints from the school of his temper and inability to complete work. Meanwhile nepeta didn't have too many problems with public school, except for the fact her friend had left it to join homeschooling last year, leading her wanting to join to make sure he wasn't alone. That girl wore her heart on her sleeve like you do you swear.
You go about the empty first floor of your house, relishing in the silence. While kark was in his room you knew nep was doing her work in your mother’s small makeshift house in what was the house’s garage, mostly due to how she mentioned liking it more atmosphere wise.
You go about to start the burner, taking out an egg and cracking it over the pan that was still on it. As you throw away the shell you hear the soft patter and meow of pounce coming out of your room, basking to show her presence after her sixteen hour sleep.
You go upstairs, taking a right at the second door up there to your daughters’ shared room, looking to your left on the floor to find the food and water bowl setup and picking up the foodbowl. Once you go downstairs she’s already met you on the third step meowing. This is practically routine every wednesday.
After a while of checking the eggs and breaking them up you take a small bowl out of the cabinet to your right, setting both bowls down and rationing the eggs into both bowls. You put pounce’s down on the floor and let her eat her egg as you eat your ration.
You're done before her and after putting the dish in the sink along with the rest of your kids dishes strewn around to be soaked you go about your routine. You go to your bedroom’s shower, you lightly shave a bit to get your scruff more comfortable scratchy but still keep the rough visage it gives as it's the only thing that keeps twenty-somethings from thinking your their age and flirting with you.
You look at the crack of your hairline, finding it breaking at the top and a ring of your albino white hair around a little under it nearly giving you a halo look. Ironic you know. You make note to get some hair dye later. You really hate having to remind yourself to keep this a secret, no matter how much you try you still feel like your sons see this as something to feel bad about, which it isn't, but their not old enough you think to know about how screwed you made your life by speaking up against your government...even if it would give you extra cool parent points its not worth it...well...no NO it's not worth it get back to your duties!
You go about getting dressed in your cream white button up long sleeved, pushed up to your elbows, black jeans with a belt keeping them up, brown mules, and pick up your work coat of a similar black shade. Your usually not there for long, your there at ten and stay till two giving sermons of either the lead father of the church before he comes for his afternoon to evening sermons, or you’ll secretly give your own, as so far the go-ers haven't shown any sign of disinterest or finding your claims of the society blasphemy...yet. You play this game many times, you're pretty good at not seeming suspicious. You hope at least.
You watch pounce go to lay down on your large black leather lounge couch and you go to put her bowl away as she falls into an egg coma, not an actual coma it's just a funny term meu mentioned once that stuck and go to put her bowl back, knowing nep would be highly miffed at it being on the floor and not in its rightful place. After you go about cleaning the dishes from this morning and placing them in their rightful places.
It's about 9:40 when you leave, needing time to drive to the church and prepare the speeches for the day and any further assistance work, then you’ll be back to help either your kids briefly, then pick up your eldest from the bus stop you dropped them off earlier, then the game of dinner and evening schedule will be a new beast entirely that thankfully future you can deal with as the front door lock’s with a ‘click’.

Stained for Days
Tumblr media
“Do not wash with whites.” Reyna scoffed at the tag that remained on the clone’s once-solitary pair of red pants. He’d had them forever, since the day she’d found him, and he hadn’t even bothered to remove the damn tag. Whatever laundry instructions had been printed on it, however, were long gone from continued wear and the elements he threw himself into on a daily basis. She pressed knuckles to her brow to beat away the encroaching thoughts, and tossed the pants into the washing machine, already full of whites. Maybe she didn’t care, or she was just too exhausted to separate all the laundry into two piles, but she dumped in the detergent anyway and set the machine going, eager to get out of there and do... anything else. She needed a distraction from the clutter in her brain, and the caffe she’d been chugging all night hadn’t been helping. It only scrambled things more into a tangled knot of worry that had worked its way down her spine and found root in the pit of her belly. She probably should have eaten something before pouring herself a fifth cup. But without the resident cook to fire up something on the stove, her hunger was going to have to wait. And cup noodles wasn’t going to hit the spot this time. Pork rinds would have to do, despite the wealth of other foods in the Rogues’ cupboards. Salty, greasy fat, deep fried to a crisp, and doing terrible things to her yearning stomach. The ache doubled her over as she watched the washing machine shake itself through its many cycles, and a sickening belch eked its way out around a mouthful of caffe, threatening to spill it to the floor in an unglorious fountain of brown liquid. I should order pizza. As soon as I finish with this... “Shit.” Tired eyes screwed themselves shut at the sight of the pink puddle growing at her feet. All of the white towels and sheets had been stained by the solitary red item in the laundry, turning everything a wonderful shade of bubblegum. The mess stared up at her from the depths of the washing machine, begging for them to be saved. The pants she sat by itself on top of the dryer as it continued to drip the faded dye onto the floor. A little bleach, maybe. That could get the stains out, make everything clean again. It was in the middle of wringing out the orange-red pants that she finally lost it and chucked it at the nearest wall. It landed with a disgusting wet slap, clung for dear life for a fraction of a second, and fell to the floor, looking sad and pathetic. All the Rogues were at the clinic, taking shifts watching over the old clone for the past three days. All except for her. A seizure, they’d said, as he stared at her with blank eyes. No, not at. Through. As if she didn’t exist. Not a hint of recognition lined his face for any of them, but for her it stung the worst. She would have puked right there in the hospital room if she hadn’t booked it out of there. Her boot found and bounced off the metal body of the washer, a stream of curses issued forth as she continued to kick the machine over and over again in her fury. Black scuff marks appeared, followed by sizable dents, the defenceless machine skidding back further and further towards the wall with each of her assaults. And when that didn’t feel like enough, the lid was next to suffer. Dented and damaged beyond repair, the lid stuck up at a weird angle that made it difficult to close. It wasn’t until her finger got in the way of her frustrations that she finally stopped, cradling her hand against her stomach as the digit swelled and turned an ugly shade of purple. It was likely the damn thing was broken, but that was a concern for another day. Grabbing what tools she could find from the emergency kit, she went about splinting her finger as she sat on the couch, the tv blaring some inane infomercial she had no interest in watching. She jabbed away the hot tear with a knuckle before it had a chance to find her cheek, and settled in for the rest of her miserable night.
“Reyna! We’re back!” The teenager announced with a hand to their mouth as they chucked their backpack onto the nearest counter. Everyone looked worse for wear, even the small Aviant who would have preferred being anywhere but the hospital. The sound of the television told them where she was, and the Rogues crowded around the couch to find the Valkyrie fast asleep, her face buried in her arm and the remnants of salty stains clinging to her cheeks. “Someone should get her to bed...” Pendles’ suggested as he dragged one of the many blankets off the back of the couch to drape over her shoulders. “Naw, let her sleep. You don’t want her waking up again and getting on our cases.” Shayne struggled to keep their grip on Orendi, hands pressed to her mouth to keep her from screaming whatever thought crossed her mind in that moment. Toby remained as the others parted to take care of their own business, watching his boss snore against the crook of her elbow. He couldn’t say he knew exactly what she was going through, but he had some idea that it wasn’t easy. So he tucked in the edges of the blanket under her, hopped onto the couch, and took on the role of her pillow. A flipper smoothed her hair out of view as he changed the channels, looking for something interesting but not too loud. Silence settled on the Fortune’s Favour, until the Roa happened to chance on the unfinished laundry, and uttered quietly from down the hall: “Awww, me favourite pair of undies...”

FUN THINGS TO DO AT WALMART
I'm going to be ahead of the game and let you all know in advance that not all of these little idess are of my invention but a lot of them are. Still, it was my idea to put them all into s nice, neat little collection. So if you've happen to have heard of some of these before, don't stress out: just enjoy them. ​ ​I'm sort of the original prankster a long time YouTube was ever invented which tells off on my age somewhat. Actually, my younger girlfriend says that I was around when the Dead Sea was just sick! And being of the older cross section of the population, nobody really expexts something like this from me although I HAVE been asked to leave the store on more than one occasion.  And the fact that nobody sees me in the light of a prsnjstrr makes the play out even more enjoyable. ​ ​So without further ado, allow me to to share my favorite FUN THINGS TO DO AT WALMART! One of the things that also helps the overall thing more of a surprise is that I always wear nice clothing: a pair of dress pants, nice shirt and shoes, and if the occasion presents itself, a tie. MANY years ago I was the director of public safety for a small town. I had just been appointed to the position and was still under contract with another agency where I was generally working undercover. Hence, at the time I shall recount, I was sporting a beard of sorts and long hair which I kept pulled back in a ponytail. One one particular evening, I took it upon myself to get the patrol cars and equipment cleaned, including new ammunition for the squad shotguns. Fairly late in the afternoon, I went to the Walmart in a nearby town and after looking around the store for a bit made my way to the sporting goods area. After finding a clerk, I asked for 6 boxes of double ought buckshot which, for those of you who aren't familiar with the guage, let's just say anything hit with such a load generallyis pretty much torn to shreds. So yhe clerk looked around and advised me that he was out of that guage and offered something different. "No but thanks. I have to have the heavy shells." I replied. After scratching his chin for a moment he looked at me strangely. "Five boxes of buckshot! That's sort of unusual for us. What exactly are you planning on shooting?" He asked. Without looking up from my surveying the stuff in the glass counter, I simply replied : "People." So his face turned a little ashen and he said he would check in the stockroom for my shells which I knew was a ploy to get the hell away from me! And, when he FINALLY returned, he was accompanied by 2 rather large police officers from their local department. I suppose it was lucky for me that one of the cops recognized me snd just shook his head. Still, and needless to say, I didn't get the shells. Now in today's societal climate, I wouldn't necessarily say this is exactly a safe prank. But on the other hand... And sometimes I'm a tee-shirt kind of a guy but not just any tee-shirt will do. I have one that is imprinted with "Cat: The other white meat" and on the back it says: So many cats, so few recipes." A lady from Walmart once asked "Aww, you really don't eat cats, do you?" "Nahh," I replied. "I gave them up for Lent. Besides, Chihuahuas are less greasy." Speaking of eating, one evening close to Halloween I put dark circles under my eyes and walked into a Walmart carrying a rather large black stuffed crow by the legs. I had removed the stuffing from it earlier and  filled it with chicken from the Colonel, poured in a bit of ketchup, and while I was walking around the store I was reaching into the stuffed bird and pulling out chicken, eating and allowing the ketchup to smear on my mouth. As I recall, that was one of the times I was asked to leave the store. It wasn't all that close to Halloween for such pranks I was told. "Pranks?" I asked. "I was just having a snack while I was shopping!" While we're on the subject of food, carry some toothpicks in your pocket ss you browse the live fish area.  In MY case, I prefer to do this late in the evening about the time the tanks sre being cleaned or serviced. I would ask what they did with the dead fish floating around. "Ummm, we generally just throw them away. Why?" "Can you give them to me in a little container?" I would ask. "Oh. Are you going to take them home for a pet or something?" At that point I would pull out s few toothpicks and hold them up. "Nah. I just wanna munch on them while I'm shopping. I LOVE sushi!' Although I never was actually given any of the little floaters, I have gotten quite a few really strange looks! Priceless! There are a few things that you can do when there are several people around, especially in sporting goods. Ask the clerk to let you examine one of the shotguns in the display case. After he hands it to you, take your time and look it over while asking intelligent questions about it. Sooner or later there will be an announcement over the p.a. system and it's at this point I will suddenly jerk the gun up to my shoulder and aim in in a side to side motion st the ceiling. "There's those damned voices again! QUICK!! Give me some bullets!" People will generally back away and leave the area, if not the store, entirely! Some of these little pranks you should really be careful with because there's a slimest of a chance things won't go as you expected it to go! But what the hell? Spice adds a little zest to life. And I'm sure that you've probably heard about the man and woman at the clothing try-on closets. The man goes inside one of the rooms and after s few minutes he yells out in a really hick voice: "Edna! Could you please run over and grab me some toilet paper? Ain't none in here!" One of the things that I like to do is leave little notes in the pockets of the clothes. Something like: "Help! I'm being held captive by inspector 21!" or, "What were you expecting to find here, money?" Sometimes I might leave a note on a sheet of paper that goes like this: "Hi! My name is Paper. I've been watching you everywhere you go, hoping for the chance to talk to you! Mmm... I love the way you're holding me and caressing me between your thumb and fingers! Don't stop! You're making my ink run! Look, you know that you want me! I can feel your warm breath all over me! So why don't you roll me up into a ball and put me in places no paper has ever gone before! Or gently fold me into any shape that makes you go wild with passion! Just, I'm not into the kinky things like staples or paperclips! Just thinking about you is making my margins wet! Don't worry. I'm not a gossip column so our secret will be safe! Hurry baby!" Of course you can place this in various places around the store such as in a magazine, in a pair of women's jeans, in a package of panties, well, you get the idea. The library is also a good place to pull this off. I recall one evening a terribly rude customer in the produce and vegetable arra was being very snotty to one of the female associstes in the area, to the extent that the girl was almost in tears! I quickly pulled a condom from my wallet (hey, I'm old. I'm not DEAD!!) and surreptitiously removed a cucumber from the lady's cart. The clerk saw what I was doing but didn't say anything. After putting the condom into the cucumber, I placed the cucumber back into the cart, hidden beneath the other groceries. I walked away, past the girl who was getting yelled at and whispered "Follow her to the checkout for the real fun!" The girl did exactly that and I'm sure that she was trying not to laugh hysterically as the lady was trying to explain the condom covered cucumber to the cashier! The old man and the little girls panties. My girlfriend has a twisted sarcastic sense of humor kind of like mine. In Walmart one evening, she was browsing the clothing chemicals, specifically the dye, when aa associate asked if he could help her. be Without missing a beat, she glanced at him and shrugged. "I don't know. See, I bought a cat today and I was looking for like a multicolored calico cat but all I could find was a cute white kitten. So my question is, do you have something that would be groovy for a tie dye look? Especially something that won't fade out in yhe dryer?" The associate had a surprised look on his face and shook his head. "Are you serious? You can't tie dye an animal like that! Don't you know that you cannot put a live cat in the washing machine or dryer?" She giggled a bit. "Well duh! I was talking about a STUFFED cat! I found out that you can't tie dye a live animal when I tried it with my hamsters!" She rolled her eyes and walked off, leaving him standing in the aisle in disbelief. The particular store back in the town where I recently lived was generally quiet in the evening. There were restrooms to the back of the store in the layaway area which seems like they were never really cleaned very well so one evening my girlfriend and I grabbed a few things from the store: candles, incense, hand towels, lava lamps, and some bathmats, and when nobody was watching we slipped into the restrooms and proceeded to remodel them somewhat. In less than 15 minutes we completely changed the decor of the restrooms to quiet, subdued elegance. Luckily, nobody walked in on us but there was something of a commotion emanating from the p.a. system before we finally left the store! I once purchased a set of frss walkie talkies and while I was fiddling with them in the parking lot of Walmart while I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish her shopping, I realized that these were essentially the same two-way radios that the WM managers used in the store. Suddenly something came over me and I couldn't resist the temptation: "We have a code pink in the men's wear! Code pink in the men's wear area!" After a brief silence someone asked for a repeat. "Excuse me: We have a code RAINBOW in men's wear!" I replied. My girlfriend emerged from the store finally and looked at me. "Something tells me that you had a hand in that!" Of course, there probably are now several people running around the store trying to figure out who had the extra radio. They changed frequencies occasionally after that but I managed to figure them out in quick time. I found out that several drive-thru restaurants likewise have the same radio system which they use for the wireless units at the take out windows! "Hello? Is anyone there? I want 5 Big Macks, 3 chocolate shakes, and a dozen apple pies please!" Sitting across the street from the restaurant I watched and chuckled as heads popped out of the drive-thru windows and out the back doors to see who was making the order! It's interesting to drive around and see how many restaurants use these radios. Too bad the batteries aren't rechargeable! Anyway, I'm sure that you can relate to some if these and even have a few of your own. Just don't say that I put you up to it!
