Obey Me Hair HCs

hiii, new writing blog here! i just wrote a bunch of hair hcs for the seven demon brothers, from haircuts to dyes to if mc really loves playing with their hair.

Lucifer:

he would def go for a more sophisticated look

i could see him with an undercut

the type to keep his hair short to maybe medium length

if he dyed his hair it’d probably be subtle

he’s already got a black to grey ombre situation, but also it only shows in certain lighting so idk what his hair color is anymore ??

but black to grey suits his personality v well cause he’s got big reiji sakamaki energy

to change it up though, I could see him going for a dark brown dye

or white highlights (although that’s going into belphie territory)

if he did his hair so its like spiky then i’d love to see frosted tips but he’d hate that for sure

he’s the type to use gel since he likes to be clean and maintain his appearance

i feel like he’s protective of his hair so i don’t think he’d let you touch it easily

like he would feel very soothed if you run your hand through his hair

but he has to be super relaxed to let it happen because he usually has to be on alert in case diavolo needs him

Mammon:

ok Mammon’s a scruffy dude so i can’t see him putting too much effort into styling his hair

that or he tries too hard bc he wants to impress you

the type to run his hand through his hair often (he thinks it’s cool shhh)

to fit his color scheme i could see him dying part of his hair yellow, but ehhh

maybe a honey or strawberry blond would look good on him

for haircuts, i feel like he’d look good with anything

i could see him getting a messy fringe with a low fade

it just suits his nerdy, lovable messiness so well

would also be fine with a quiff

it is CANON this guy loves his head to be touched

head rubs + pats for daysss

will be tsundere about it at first bc he’s mammon, but don’t fall for it !

the minute your fingers make contact with his head, he is soft baby and all yours

melts into your hand like wow

will miss it when you stop, but he also doesn’t want to show it so he’ll just sit there pouting until you restart

Leviathan:

this boy has to take care of his hair

i mean have you seen it? it’s smooth af and very cute

he usually wears wigs when cosplaying, but I’m sure he’s dyed his hair before to match a character

i could see an ocean blue fitting well if he dyed his hair, it’d also match his eyes because blue and yellow are soo pretty together

his normal hairstyle fits him, but i think he’d be down for anything

if it’s for the sake of an accurate cosplay, he’ll do it bro

would probs be jealous of mammon for having white hair since he could dye it so many different colors

wow i can see levi with a textured crop top fade

or if he curled his bangs

his natural hair is straight, but if he musses it up a little and adds some texture it would look so nice

another head pat simp

would love for you to comb your fingers through his hair

c’mon his hair is SO smooth why would you ever refuse

he will think he’s bothering you, but pls reassure him that you do it because you want to

he’ll give in almost immediately because it feels so comforting for him

will shyly ask for more

Satan:

this dude is class with a side of savage/petty but i don’t think he pays much attention to his hair

i think he’d rather read books than worry about his appearance

he’ll leave that for lucifer to worry about lol

so he’d probably have medium, messy-ish hair

if he did a different haircut, maybe a low fade with sideswept hair on top

also not the type to dye his hair, but i could possibly see him dying it the ugliest color to make luci angry

maybe an ugly green or a brassy red

is satan that petty?

yep

if you tried to run your hands through this guy’s hair, i don’t think he’d necessarily mind, BUT

if he sees it coming and knows you want it, he would def avoid your hand just to watch you pout at him

this man’s a tease, i say

but yea he wouldn’t mind, but he would hold it over your head and tease you about it so try to play with his hair at your own risk

he would genuinely enjoy it if you did it just absentmindedly while reading, like that would make him blush at first but then he’d calm down and just appreciate the moment as y’all read together

Asmodeus:

oh boy

i mean this guy loves to experiment with skincare and makeup so he’d love to test stuff on his hair too, right?

wrong

i think he’d be really picky about the products he uses on his hair

his hair is fluffy to the max and he’d want to keep his hair lookin’ light and touchable

i think he’d love to curl his hair every so often

might even cut it into the eboy haircut because he would def love tiktok

i don’t think he’d dye his hair just because he wants to keep his hair as healthy as possible

but he might cave just for the experience every now and then, and dye some lighter brown shades into parts of his hair

i can’t really see him dying his whole head a different color though

even though he’s picky about hair products, this boi loves touching (obviously lol)

pls touch his hair, this is the reason he keeps it so fluffy (also the aesthetic)

would love for you to just shower him with attention

not just his hair, but other places on his body too ;)

Beelzebub:

this boi is baby or whateva

doesn’t care about his hair very much

but tell me why i cant get the thought of a beel w/ a man bun out of my head

he works out a lot and if he’s not exercising he’s probs eating, so he doesn’t want hair that needs a lot of upkeep

the type to cut it super short but then just let it grow and grow until-

man bun :)

that or a messy quiff dude

like i said before, this man really could not care less as long as he’s getting food so if you wanna touch his head, i don’t think he’d mind

if you can reach, that is

he’s a mountain so it’d be difficult, but he’s our benevolent savior so he’d lean down a teeny bit so you can just barely reach his head

that or you’d sit on the couch with him sitting on the floor between your legs eating snacks, and you’ll just play with his hair

he’ll enjoy the feeling of your fingers givin’ him a head massage

comfy, full, and being cuddled

that’s all beel wants in life tbh

Belphegor:

bedhead ftw

he’s got some white ends in his hair already so he’s ahead of the game

i can’t see him putting in too much effort to change his look

i mean he literally let his hair grow over his right eye so he can’t even see out of it

that just goes to show this dude be lazy

cannot be bothered with any fancy haircuts

would have a long fringe for sure

i think he just prefers having longer hair because it’s more comfy for him

also more hair = softer = better sleeps

also also it’s just convenient

i don’t think he’d like having a fade or any kind of comb over

he’d prefer just a tousled, fluffy look that’d look presentable even if he just got out of bed (literally)

cause when he gets ready in the morning i can’t see him doing more to his hair than maybe combing through it once lol

def would adore you for running your fingers through his hair

he thinks it’s very soothing as he falls asleep

squeezes you even tighter if y’all are cuddling when you start doing it

he’ll be confused at first but grow to like it very quickly, even demanding it at certain points

#obey me #obey me x reader #obey me x mc #obey me x you #swd obey me #obey me beel x reader #obey me lucifer x mc #obey me mammon x mc #obey me asmodeus x mc #obey me satan x mc #obey me belphegor x mc #obey me leviathan x mc #so many tags #im so sorry #this is crap but enjoy hAha #i have pics of the haircuts/dyes i think the boys would rock #hmu if you think i should post them lol im debating on it #not an ask

Creativity by Cupcake

Webster’s dictionary defines literacy as “the ability to read and write”. Short, succinct, and straight to the point. Nothing much to argue with there. Going by that definition, literacy is something that I, along with all of my peers had successfully mastered by the end of elementary school. But that made me think, “Is that really all there is to literacy?”

When brainstorming for this assignment, I thought long and hard about what literacy truly meant to me and I realized that I did not want this to be an essay just about how I learned that y is sometimes a vowel, or that i goes before e except after c and those mundane tricks we all learned as kids. As I reflected on my journey to literacy throughout my life, I realized that literacy to me isn’t just that I can read a sentence on the page before me or that I can write a short story. What really mattered was that I was able to take my literacy and use it as a form of my own expression and communication with the world. When I think of myself as being literate, it’s my ability to take the words in front of me and immerse myself in the author’s messages, to be able to understand, to challenge, and to ponder these words. It’s my ability to control language and bend it to my will, to be able to convey the messages I want to in exactly the way I choose. That’s why for me, I believe that literacy and creativity go hand in hand.

In my middle school and elementary school years, I had never considered myself to be someone who was creative in any aspects of my life, either in art or in writing. I would cringe whenever we were assigned a creative writing assignment in school. I clearly remember wryly joking to myself when my 8th English teacher, Mr. Payne released a new creative writing assignment, how aptly named he was in that his assignments always brought me pain. My concept of literacy at that point was very much due to the “banking” form of education, as coined by Paulo Freire in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which had predominantly been my form of education up until then. This “banking” form treats students as empty vessels into which teachers fill “with the contents of his narration” (Freire, 71). I remember when I first learned this phrase, I thought I had never heard anything that applied more to my own way of schooling than this. This “banking” model was very apparent in all of the schooling I had received because writing was always taught to me in very structured and rigid ways. In 3rd grade, Mrs. Bell taught us that writing was to be like a sandwich: with the bread being an intro and outro, the meat being the main topic, and the dressings as supporting paragraphs. In 5th grade, this “sandwich” morphed into the 5 paragraph essay as Mrs. Dell engrained in us that this type of essay was the most efficient way to convey our points. In 6th grade, Mr. Schmitt made it clear that every paragraph we write needs to be composed of four to five sentences: one topic sentence and three to four supporting sentences. So by the time I reached high school, writing 5 paragraph essays with each paragraph made up of the same five sentences was all I ever knew how to write. This “banking” model didn’t leave very much room for creativity at all and the accumulation of regulations set forth by my teachers had trained my concept of literacy into this idea that writing had to always follow these rules that I had always written in and that writing would always have to fit somehow into a neat little template. These templates were simple enough for me and by the end of 8th grade I had mastered the 5 paragraph essay and I thought my boring, repetitive essays were what passed as good writing and a mastery of literacy.

This all changed in high school where I was met with a very rude awakening. I had just moved from cold, snowy Michigan, where I had been born and raised all my life, to sunny Southern California. The weather was different, the people, were different, the food was different, and it was definitely a big culture shock to me. But never in a million years would I have thought that even my rigid and never-changing concept of literacy would be challenged as well. My 10th grade AP English teacher, Miss Cook assigned us our first creative writing assignment in which we had to analyze the novel, Life of Pi. “Simple”, I thought. I turned to my trusty 5 paragraph essay template and set to work. I turned it in confidently and promptly forgot about it until 2 weeks later, our essays were passed back with our grades. You can imagine my shock when I turned to the last page and there, circled in dark green pen was the letter “F”. Never in my life had I EVER received an “F” before. I couldn’t believe it. It was there that my disillusioned sense of a competent grasp on literacy shattered to pieces. I talked to Miss Cook after class and was told that there was absolutely no substance in my essay, that I had basically just written down facts with no sense of my own individual voice and that it lacked my own creative approach to answering the prompt. This was the first time that I had ever been told that I needed to be creative with my writing and that there was more to essays that just answering the prompt with methodically laid out facts.

This experience, adding onto my pre-existing belief that I did not have any ability to be creative, led me to fear anything that asked for any type of creativity. I dreaded writing in high school because my literacy skills leading up into high school had just been rendered inadequate and I was left floundering. Just thinking about writing would leave me frustrated and I was left feeling discouraged and pessimistic about my creativity and literacy skills.

This all changed when I began baking. Baking was a hobby I picked up around the summer after my freshman year in high school. In the laboratory of my kitchen, amidst a chaotic array of mixing bowls and sugar sprinkles, I became a mad scientist surrounded by her flasks and bubbling concoctions. Piping bag in hand, I was invincible. Like the smooth buttercream frosting flowing from the icing tip, my ideas and creativity spilled out of my mind and materialized before me in each swirl and dip of sugary paste. This was where I was at ease and ready to let my mind flow; it was here that I became an artist.

Before, I was content believing that I just simply wasn’t creative. Baking changed my mindset about my own capabilities forever. I am not sure how it went from the occasional batch of cupcakes to an endless outlet for the creativity that I had always thought that I lacked. But, the more that I baked, the more I began to experiment, incorporating different toppings, dyes, and textures into the elaborate designs and each batch emerged from my kitchen a unique objet d’art.

The more that I baked, the more that I began to think of the moist spongy surfaces of my pastries as my canvas and the icings and glazes, my paint. I realized that creativity is not merely the ability to manipulate tools to make something that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye; nor is it something that you do with your hands but instead something that exists within you, a unique perspective and innate originality that allows you to think differently about the world around you. This realization made me realize that I had the ability to be creative all along.

This ability to harness my creativity led me to realize that this skill had bigger implications for me than just being able to frost a cupcake. Being able to create made me feel invincible- like there wasn’t anything that my mind couldn’t handle. This was a huge breakthrough for me in terms of my grasp on literacy. I could be a word warrior, a samurai of sentences, a ninja of nouns.

Since I no longer could rely on my trusty 5 paragraph models that had been instilled in me in my younger years, I was entering into the unknown. But with this new found sense of creativity, I was able to discover new ways to approach how I could harness my literacy. In Annemarie Palincsar’s “Collaborative Approaches to Comprehension Instruction”, Palincsar talks about something called reciprocal teaching or RT. RT focuses on “helping students to understand the factors that interact and influence their comprehension of text…students are taught to apply the strategies in meaningful contexts” (Palincsar, 103). My definition of literacy now centered on an idea like this. I realized that in order to be a better creative writer, I needed to be able to understand the factors that influenced my own thoughts. To be creative is to make sense of these influences and to make meaning of them in my own ways. It’s not about regurgitating facts and following along tired old templates, but to take these facts and use my creativity to express them in my own voice using my background and beliefs to shape them.

While it may seem unconventional that something like baking cupcakes, which is so different than reading or writing, led me to my breakthrough on achieving literacy, I believe that this is exactly what proves why literacy goes beyond Webster’s definition that literacy is merely reading and writing. Literacy to me now is all about being able to be creative. It’s about taking a book and being able to put yourself into it and be able to think critically about it and having your own voice to contradict or expand upon the words already there. It’s about being able to write creatively and eloquently so that your words can paint a picture or carry along your meaning in the most effective way possible. In Christopher S. Walsh’s “Creativity as capital in the literacy classroom: youth as multimodal designers”, Walsh also hits on the point that multimodal tools can help “harness students’ imagination and creativity by encouraging them to engage in multimodal design to re-present curricular knowledge (Walsh, 84). While baking cupcakes isn’t exactly multimodal, this line of thinking definitely applies in that activities outside of standard classrooms can help to harness a student’s creativity and in turn be used back in the classroom to help with learning done in school. This is exactly how I was able to get a grasp on my own sense of literacy by learning creativity through these different means outside of the classroom.

All in all, this journey to discovering my sense of creativity was the catalyst in forming my current basis of literacy today. And it’s not over yet. I feel lucky that I am still learning each and every day from the activities I am apart of about my own sense of creativity and how it can build upon my literacy. I am no longer afraid of creative challenges, and instead I welcome it. I am excited to see how my literacy and creativity will continue to grow.

30 Chic Teal DIY Decor Ideas To Bring This Year’s Trendiest Color Into Your Home

Pantone’s color of the year this year is just … wrong. Seriously, they picked some light shade of green. I’m not seeing that color in that many places, but what I am seeing is TEAL. Seriously—teal dressers, teal bookshelves, teal walls, teal everything. At least where home décor is concerned, this is the ultimate trending hue.

Of course, it isn’t just one particular shade of teal. It is more like a range of teals and aquas. But for the most part, we are talking about a medium blue with undertones of green.What is so appealing about teal? I think I can come up with a few different reasons why teal is suddenly everywhere:

It is a “neutral” color with restraint and sophistication. Actually, it isn’t far off from that default wallpaper color that used to be included in super old versions of Windows. So it has an air of professionalism about it—which wouldn’t make it a bad choice for home or office décor, actually.

It grabs attention—but is muted enough to fit into old-fashioned styles. In a largely white interior (very popular right now), teal stands out. It instantly draws the eye. But there is still a sense of subtleness and softness about it, which means it fits well with more rustic, old-world décor styles which are trending at the moment.

Like the ocean, it is instantly refreshing. Teal is close to the color of the sea, so it can even be used to evoke a sense of the ocean—especially when it is used in ombre décor. Darker shades represent deeper depths, fading into paler shades and finally into white—which is like sea foam.

It is a “warm” shade of blue. In terms of warm and cool hues, teal is definitely a “warmer” blue than say for example cobalt. If you prefer warmer tones in your home but still want to use blue, this makes it a good choice, since it will not make your interior feel austere.

Confused about warm and cool shades of blue—particularly given that overall, blue is denoted as a cool color? This is a brief but useful discussion on color analysis which can help you make sense of things. The better your understanding of color theory is, the easier it will be for you to match teal with existing décor.

By the way, there is a pretty fuzzy line between teal, aqua and turquoise, so I am featuring all three below (one person’s teal does seem to be another person’s turquoise).

So now that you understand more about the appeal of teal, let’s take a look at some teal DIY décor projects which you can incorporate into your own home!

1. Go for a muted, rustic look.

Here is a teal dresser uploaded by a Pinterest user which I absolutely love! The teal has been brushed on lightly so that some of the original dark wood still shows through. The dark wood color has been left alone on the top so that it forms a contrast with the drawers and the sides. A candelabra in the same teal color has been placed on top to complete the look.Source: Pinterest Originals

2. Here is how to do a color wash on a dresser to achieve a lovely teal hue.

At the link below, you can find a detailed tutorial which teaches you how you can create a teal wash for a dresser. If you check the link, you can also see some incredible before and after pictures; you seriously would never recognize this dresser—it has changed so much!Source: rootsandwingsfurniture

3. Use the Bermuda blending paint technique to create some startling contrasts with teal.

This is a technique where you blend a couple of similar shades (like different hues of teal and blue) along with a contrast shade (like a coppery orange) to achieve a look similar to an aged metallic patina. At the link, you can read through an excellent detailed tutorial with lots of images both of this project and others which use the same paint technique.Source: realitydaydream

4. Paint some sections of wood in teal and leave others bare.

Here is another Pinterest image which was uploaded by a user. As you can see, another great way of achieving contrast is to paint some sections of wood with teal and leave others alone. This once again creates a meeting of warmer and cooler colors, and draws emphasis to the painted teal wall on the left.Source: pinterest

5. Learn how to get a weathered teal finish for your furniture.

If you enjoy the muted, rustic look you can get with teal, then you are going to adore this tutorial! This finish has the added appeal of leaving the underlying wood grain visible, whereas a full teal wash hides the texture. So if you like the look of painted furniture but don’t want to lose the grain, this is a great technique to try.Source: lovelycraftyhome

6. Teal makes for a beautiful contrast with metallic design elements.

The transformation of this desk is beyond incredible. Check out the post so you can see what it looked like before the paint job. What I really love about this one is the color contrast between the teal and the drawer handles.Source: simplesoutherncharmblog

7. Paint an ombre teal dresser with a “highlighted” look.

This is one of the most elegant furniture transformations I have seen. Here we have a dresser which has been done over in teal with a subtle ombre gradient. A layered “highlighting” technique was used to add depth, which works beautifully with the ornate flourishes that were already a part of the dresser’s original design.Source: traceysfancy

8. Give a boring nightstand an exquisite teal makeover.

I definitely recommend taking a look at the blog post where I found this picture (see the link)! This nightstand has a clean, contemporary look—very different from many of the more rustic, old-fashioned teal furniture projects I have shared so far. It started out as a very bland item of furniture, and was turned into something truly exceptional by this talented crafter. Check it out!Source: livingbeautifullydiy

9. Dark teal can have a very refined look.

While many of the projects I have featured so far are a medium teal, here is one in a very dark teal. Rather like the very first one that I shared, the dark wood on top has been left in its natural hue to provide contrast and keep the piece grounded.Source: justthewoods

10. Teal can work very well on a table.

This table also has a brown top with teal legs, and it looks phenomenal! Check out the post to watch the entire process.Source: ayanovich

11. This bed in rustic teal is absolutely enchanting.

Now this may be one of my favorite uses of teal ever! This rustic bed would look amazing even if it were all just in the natural wood tones, but the pale teal really helps to soften up the look and make it more homey. You can also see that it works nicely on the nightstand.Source: pinterest

12. Teal can make a bold, modern statement in the right context.

The black and white stick-and-peel wallpaper inside this nightstand really adds some cool contemporary pizzazz. In contrast with the bright aqua hue, it is simply mesmerizing.Source: spoonflower

13. Use teal to frame a monogram.

Here is another project where teal has been paired up with black and white for an eye-catching look. Only in this case, the frame has a rustic look to it, which in itself is a contrast with the modern look of the zigzag design.Source: thebaezablog

14. Spruce up your jewelry box with some aqua, teal, or turquoise.

Previously a boring brown color, this jewelry box is now a bold aqua that just shouts for attention.Source: thespeckleddog

15. Give a dresser a beach vibe by painting it in ombre teal colors.

Have you noticed that teal is a really, really popular color for desks and dressers? Here is one which features a light teal at the bottom, moving up through a gradient of lighter blues to white. It has a lovely seaside feel to it.

16. Here is how to paint your steps with ombre teal colors.

I can’t thank this blogger enough for this one. There is another much more popular image of a teal ombre staircase floating around, but nobody seems sure of its source. This one on the other hand was easy to trace back to a blog, where the creative DIYer who worked on it provided a ton of information on the project. Be sure to take a look!Source: diysquirrel

17. Make beautiful teal ombre soaps.

Seriously, these soaps look so delicious I want to eat them up … well, okay, maybe not literally. But they do remind me of cakes with some kind of marvelous golden frosting on top. Anyway, would these not look awesome in any bathroom?Source: doodlecraftblog

18. Dip-dye your curtains teal.

Check out this link to read about how you can dip-dye ordinary white curtains so that they fade to teal at the bottom. These are so gorgeous!Source: nostalgiecat

19. This hutch is charmingly old-fashioned.

I love the weathered, time-worn look of this hutch, which has been painted with a muted color. It’s not quite teal, but it is in the same ballpark.Source: Pinterest Originals

20. Turquoise and dark walnut work beautifully together.

Check out the gorgeous contrast between the dark walnut and teal finishes here. What is really cool about this piece is the way the color contrasts were used to draw the eye to the different flourishes in the wood. There were no random choices here—everything serves a purpose.

Source: Pinterest Originals

21. Beautiful blue painted buffet.

Is it bad that I don’t know what a buffet is in terms of furniture? Well, regardless of what it is, I can say one thing for sure, and that is that this one is beautiful!Source: thirtyeighthstreet

22. A simple teal dresser paint job.

Painted by Julie Peterson of Simple Redesign, this dresser indeed has a simple and refined look to it. Be sure to check out the source link to see more of her portfolio, which includes many other lovely furniture repaints in blue, green and everything in between.Source: simpleredesign

23. Spray painting works surprisingly well.

Don’t fancy the idea of picking up a paintbrush and worrying about hiding your brush strokes (or artfully working them into the look you are creating)? It turns out that spray paint can work just as well. Check out these beautiful results.Source: stiltskinstudios

24. Use teal for exteriors, not just interiors.

Isn’t this garden shed absolutely adorable? The teal paint with the white trim looks amazing. The trellis and the windmill help to complete the look, making this an incredibly inviting place to relax for the afternoon.Source: kabamfamily

25. Or do both your interior and your exterior in teal.

Here is an absolutely gorgeous shed which is teal inside and out (so far as I can tell). I highly recommend visiting the source link so that you can see more interior shots. I am totally envious of the person who owns this place!Source: sfgirlbybay

26. Check out this imaginative sparkling mermaid lingerie chest.

The sheer artistry which has gone into this teal chest is inspiring. While the teal is beautiful all on its own, it is when you pull the drawers open that you really see the magic of this incredible design.Source: jburnscreate

27. Give your kitchen a teal makeover.

The teal paint on these kitchen cabinets makes for a lovely splash of the unexpected amid otherwise warm colors in the wood, tiles and walls. I can imagine that this room now has a totally different vibe than it did before.

28. Integrate lots of different colors for a beautifully textured look.

This paint job is cool because it incorporates lighter and darker blues as well as some other surprising colors—I think I can see hints of magenta in there offsetting the blues. It comes from the aptly-named blog “The Turquoise Iris.” Be sure to visit to see some other cool teal and turquoise décor projects.Source: theturquoiseiris

29. Check out two more custom teal finishes from The Turquoise Iris.

Here are two more lovely teal painted furniture projects from The Turquoise Iris; you can view more photos of both in the same entry (linked below). Once again, you can appreciate the artist’s use of startling splotches of color—yellows, tans and greens where you least expect them. This is likely a technique she has brought over from the flower paintings she makes.Source: theturquoiseiris

30. Teal makes for a stunning backdrop for a realistic design.

Finally, here is one of the most amazing teal furniture items I have seen! This one gets shared a lot, and it’s well deserved. Those butterflies look so real, and the teal provides for the perfect backdrop, helping each of them to stand out.Image/Source: instagram

Conclusion: Teal Is a Vibrant, Refreshing Color That Can Complement Any Home

Whether you are looking for a new color to paint your dresser, you are thinking of redoing your walls, or you are searching for an idea for adding more color to tables and chairs, pillows, or anything else in your home, teal is an excellent choice. It is one of this year’s trending colors, and now you have the inspiration you need to bring the magic of teal to your own abode!
