Hair

They say that hair holds stories, that the style is what makes a man.

They say long locks make you a pansy and a real man should have it short lest they be mistaken for a girl.

Where I grew up, every man buzzed their hair down.

It was a shame for it to be long and shaggy, and mothers would fuss over you, insisting upon a haircut.

For girls, it was fine.

They could have hair as long as they wanted or as short as they needed, so long as it wasnt buzzed as short as a man’s.

Being anything else just wasn’t a thing round these parts where churches chimed every sunday, pastors clammoring around resturants and filling their quotas in a single lunch.

So I buzzed mine.

I tried as hard as I could to seem as manly as possible

To appear as bull of a brute as any cowboy should.

I wore all the boy things and had all the short boy hair.

My scalp was sensitive anyways, so I thought it didn’t bother me.

It was better shorter.

Wasnt it?

I still gazed and clammored about the anime boys I saw on screen or in Otome games though.

I gushed about how pretty they were with hair down their backs like a silken curtain, or whipping wild through the air like the mane of a lion.

Legolas was never deemed as not manly enough

Beither was Zen or inuyasha or the undertaker.

A crush, I supposed.

Because of course thats all it was.

I was a gay little boy with gay little crushes and my type was men with long, Beautiful hair.

Right?

My hair was a dull, discolored brown from the shimmering blonde it used to be, the blonde I remember from kindergarten.

I tried to return to that blonde with bleach.

My school didnt allow unnatural colors, so anything was better than that matted, oily brown.

Shaved short and as platinum as a ken doll, I should have been as man as ever.

4 years, I stayed like that, and while the short hair was easy to take care of, I felt as hideous as a pile of sludge.

It didnt matter if I was loved for my looks, I supposed.

Wouldn’t that be too vain of me?

Boys weren’t supposed to care about what they looked like, they werent supposed to coo and admire Beautiful hair or seethe in jealousy that their sister looked so much better and has such long, goregous hair.

It wasn’t until after high school that I began to explore.

Covid let me grow my hair out more, though I still trimmed the sides.

I let my bangs grow long and shaggy over my face, like a veil to hide me from the world.

Eventually I dyed it again, this time going with that green I had always wanted to try, the one I had seen on my favorite youtuber growing up, fluffy and emerald.

Still, for years more, I kept it short. Only allowing that fringe to hover over me as some sort of style.

Recently though, I’ve realized I want that hair that those anime men had.

I want that soft curtain rolling down my back like waves of an ebony river, flecks of mossy green dotting it like a miasma of toxin flowing through the oily black stream.

I want the hair like the ring girl

The people around me are foolish and prudent to think the length of ones hair makes you more or less of a man.

I know that now, and I’m glad I do.

I want to stop pretending not to like things

IM GONNA GO CRAZY #postcard: gen3 #queue #i switched a lot of feminine frame hairs to allow for masc frames and many of them worked #save for a bit of clipping around adrien’s back. i think the one he’s wearing now is the worst of it but it’s not too bad to bother me #i still haven’t figured out how to properly convert it in blender so this will have to do #sim: adrien herrera #sim: rua kamealoha

Man, people are once again getting really upset about the lack of content for some characters and fandoms as opposed to others. Like 'howling to the moon' angry about how there's no content on the characters they like or the things they like or ideas they like. We're talking 'conspiratorial' angry.

Baby, be the change you want to see in the world. If you want content, make it. Row the boat all the fuck by your lonesome if you have to. A lot of people have, and they're literally the reason that there is even content for less popular ships/ideas/characters! That's how things get popular! People taking the initiative and just doing it. Don't wait around for someone else to do it for you.

Most of us work for free and are just posting on a whim from our heads. If you love something, write it. Draw it. Post about it. Make the content you want to see. Be the reason someone else has content to turn to if it's important to you. Don't stamp your feet and get upset that something doesn't exist.

Make it. Produce it. Draw it. Imagine it. Do it. Lead the tag. Make the content. Fuel the fire. Do it badly. Just do it. You won't regret it.

#morgana and friends #Man yall come on #we go through this every few years #ive been here long enough to be one of the people that had to row #and it was worth it #baby learn to write learn to draw and learn to imagine #don't get mad that others won't do it for you #DO IT #please don't try to make things too deep it ends up looking bad on all sides #just write it! make it!#if you love a little guy then make a little guy blog!#draw! Draw badly! write badly! just do it!#That's what the rest of us do!#dude i literally write about my OCs and If I can do it for them you can do it for CANON CHARACTERS #honestly that's how A LOT of people get into a certain character or fandom #by people POSTING #it's not always source material #drag others in by the hair friends

Its-using animals club!

Alas i feel your pain, especially when someone's go-to response is "isn't using it/its dehumanizing?"

right. like. it doesn't matter if you think it's dehumanizing. it's what i want to be called, and like my name, you'll call me by it / its or we will not be having further conversation.

to me, personally, that's like. kind of a huge part of the appeal? full respect to those living in the "it can be a moment, it can be the mountains or the sunset" because, me too! but also a massive appeal to it / its is i can easily sum my gender up as some kinda boygirlthing. it/its he/she. like an animal you don't know the gender of.

#i know i already rambled about it in the tags of the of post so i wont ramble too much more but #my realtionship with my gender is funky and has been a very very very VERY long road #but at the end of that road ive realized that. labels (for me) are overrated. theyve always kinda mean what they mean to the person using #them. and give a vauge understanding of what they mean to the person hearing those labels #like. i don't consider myself nonbinary. i *AM* binary to some degree #i also wouldnt consider myself trans fem or trans masc. i'm trans. i'm pretty often seen as both or either. so ah. if the shoe fits.#i'm wearing them with ripped shorts and a collar #not to mention leaning fem or masc or neutral for me is tied heavily to my relationship with others.#if i'm with a girl i fancy myself more of a butch and if i'm with a guy i fancy myself more of a bear (✨)#<- (that's a special lil fem twist. imagine i flipped my hair or smthn)#but. that's a whole other can of worms and i've already lied and started rambling in the tags #i love you queer. if no label got my back i know queer got my back.#ask #cryptidchiroptera

Favourite Resident Evil Characterizations Out of All Their Games [1/?]: Short Hair Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015)

#crimson's gifs: resident evil #Resident Evil #RE #Resident Evil: Revelations 2 #RE: Revelations 2 #RE Revelations 2 #Resident Evil Revelations 2 #RE REV2 #Claire Redfield #Sniper Claire Redfield #So this series is gonna be for both physically favourite and depiction favourite #So in terms of outfit and such this Claire is my favourite because its the only one that actually fucking branches out from her usual style #In every single RE game or series shes in shes always in a leather jacket and pony tail with blue jeans #The only outlier is degeneration #So the short hair and the long sleeved shirt really go hard as a change and also really suit her. I love the hair and wish they kept it #In death island for her instead of copy pasting her ID look #In terms of characterisation I love a more rough around the edges depiction of her reminiscent of Code Veronica #Ive always preferred Claire when shes not forced into a protector of children role and that being her entire identity #Yes shes compassionate and thats one of her main motifs but shes also a person who made a LOT of mistakes young #Including abandoning Leon and Sherry post RE2 and not looking into Simmons before he got custody of Sherry #So seeing how her ability to talk to kids has dulled over the years and her older sense of humor really works #Code Veronica and Rev2 are the only versions of her that they don't try and make her mother teresa and I love her way more that way #I feel like in all versions of RE2 shes ruined by her post re2 decisions in the way they try and paint her in-game #I haven't watched Degen in a WHILE and in ID she's just there for 5 minutes to be pissed at Leon for making a really hard decision he had t #Idk I feel like if they introduced her in code veronica and her only 2 outings were CVX and REV2 she wouldn't take any damage from it #Theme: Characterized

i’m making huge generalizations here but idk i feel so much more comfortable just existing around trans (and some gnc) people than i do with people who are cis (and gender conforming) bc of the way we view our - and other peoples bodies. i hear trans people talk about bodies with so much love and adoration. like sure hating your body is a big thing for most trans people but most of us also learn to accept what we look like. and the acceptance often turns to genuinely liking yourself. especially if you make changes you want to to your body. it’s just. idk i feel like only a trans person could see my body for what it is

#ive seen a lot of trans art recently and its all been so lovingly made and with clear adoration towards bodies that look like yours #idk im not very eloquent and theres a lot more nuance to this entire thing #but like. i personally love my body like yea i have parts im insecure about we all do but also i have been able to choose to do things to m #body that make me happy! and i dont just mean surgery and hrt bc thats not for anyone but also choosing to do whatever the hell i want to #with my hair and getting piercings and dressing in a way that feels good #i know being able to dress etc the way you want to is a privilege #and im so grateful for it #i can't believe there was a time when i wasnt allowed to cut my hair or wear boy clothes and i had to dress up as a girl #and got constantly reminded of being a failure of femininity etc. and now that i dont talk to my mom anymore im so free #i can exist in my body and i actually feel like my body is mine and not there just for show if that makes sense #like i look in the mirror and go that me!#and also like seeing myself like that has obviously made me appreciate others bodies as well #bc when you have for a long time always payed attention to the positives of a certain thing you start noticing positives more!#just like how idk going for a walk and finding 5 nice things you appreciate or looking #in the mirror and listing things you like about yourself #out loud. even if you feel uncomfortable #it helps #can you believe you're happier when you fall a bit in love with everything around you #there are so many wonderful things on this earth and you have to condition yourself to notice them and its hard work that never stops #but it is so worth it #i have lost the plot of my post #leevi talks #anyways i love how trans people love bodies

So, if Kairi has to have short hair again in Kingdom Hearts IV--which I imagine there's a good chance that she will. I feel like Kairi herself prefers short hair. And it makes sense for her to keep short hair now that she's a warrior, so that her hair can't be used against her in battle--one hairstyle I would personally love for her to have would be this one:

Something akin to Maria Deluca's from Roswell season 1.

It does that flippy thing, like Yuna or Selphie's, but it's also different from theirs, because instead of doing that on either side of the head, the hair is flipping out behind the head, if that makes sense.

I just think it's pretty. And it bonus points in that it could seem like Kairi was inspired by her friend Selphie, or something like that, while also still being original.

#kh #kingdom hearts #kairi #khiv #kh4 #kingdom hearts iv #kingdom hearts 4 #quadratum kairi #i've thought of a few. other. new and different short hair looks for her that i might post about (some are other maria ones i think)#but this is my fave i do believe #i'm actually someone who prefers kairi with long hair (like khii long. but i also wouldn't complain if we ever got her asas hair)#but i'm also a-okay with her having short hair. and recognize that it's surely more her. and that we're probably always more likely to have #short-haired kairi for the reasons listed above #and she can look cute with short hair! i LOVE her kh1 haircut! and i think she'd look cute with maria's hair #and her khiii haircut is growing on me. i think it's weirdly her bangs in her khiii haircut that i'm not big on #not the length of her hair there #i also love four-year-old kairi's hair -felt like i should mention it since i've mentioned all her other hairstyles at this point-

Been thinking about my Desired Aesthetic™️ lately and honestly I'm going for if femininity died and came back Wrong

#winters ramblings #ive kind of always had femininity Foisted upon me but as ive aged ive also frown a strong appreciation for it #in a Nonbinary Way sure since theres no intrinsic connection there but my Appreciation is also fully influenced by my love of horror #and if i ever did anything High Femme i always did do it Weird. sure ill wear makeup but my lipstick is blue and Not Meant To Appeal #to Everyone intentionally since it came with short brightly colored hair. if femininity died and came back Wrong #ive got less of that now with long hair but i dont dye it near as much either so im Limited but also #ive got hair like Frankensteins bride big ass brightly colored glasses and left to my own devices i straight up wear #stuff thats meant for Halloween just because i like it lol. punk meets 50's diner since i like the way those dresses look on me #shit was MEANT for my shape in a natural way and with long hair i can do this big ass bun with it #but i still fotta up my game people think im straight now this cannot continue 😂😂

Tfw I have so much to do, and so much I want to do, but my body hits me with the "is it a migraine? Or am I actually getting sick?" episode of the miserable sunday variation.

Fun :)
