Hair
I've always had long hair growing up. I never wanted scissors near it.
My mother would brush it, a little too harshly sometimes, and create all sorts of hairstyles.
She'd even add one or two decorations to make it more pretty.
By the time I was 12, my hair reached below my waist. I cared for it for hours.
It was my pride. After all, it was the only thing that others noticed about me.
What beautiful hair you have, they'd say to me. Their eyes lingered on it for too long.
How is your hair so silky, they'd ask. Their hands moved around to touch each strand.
It's so well-treated, they'd repeat. Compliments were always about my hair. Attention was always on my hair.
Unsurprisingly, when my hair soon weighed heavily on me.
I didn't find it pretty anymore— No, I grew to hate it
Suddenly, I was someone else. This hair belonged to someone else.
I beg them to stop petting my hair. It’s not yours.
They don’t listen. They pull on it harshly, it’s enough to make me cry.
Let it go, I cry out. It's not yours to touch, not yours to feel.
I wanted to cut it short… No, I wanted to rip it apart.
I tremble as I move the scissors close. A deep breath is all it takes for me to start with small snips.
As strands fall I feel the weight of my head lighten. I quickly cut more, larger cuts this time and all the pain is done away
When it’s over I feel at ease. With nothing to grab, the others leave. I can breathe again.
My mother is angry. She sneered, you've always liked long hair!
This is what makes you a girl, my father said. He’s furious.
You’re wrong! I tell them, desperately. It’s my hair!
I reach to pull on my hair, and I find that its grown back— longer than before.
My eyes widned as it wraps around my neck like a snake. My hands shake feverishly
It’s my hair and I’ll prove it! I tug on it but it won’t move. It’s not enough— so I pull and tear.
Everyone is watching in horror. What they once looked at with adoration was now utterly destroyed
There’s blood on my scalp and pieces of my hair are sattered around the bathroom floor
It’s my hair… isn’t it?

After a brief hiatus, it’s time for Round 15 of Dean Gen Challenge! This time the theme is REBIRTH
How it works
On the first day of each month, we’ll provide a theme that you’ll explore in your works in relation to Dean
You can sign up at any point throughout the month, simply by reblogging this post and tagging it with #entered
You have until the last day of the month to publish your work. Tag it with #deangenchallenge and mention @deangenchallenge to make sure we find it
We’ll be reblogging all works to this blog; if you don’t see your work reblogged after five days, send us an ask with a link to it
There is no penalty for dropping out. This is a no pressure challenge; if you can’t finish the work, you can post it in the following month or try with the new theme
You can also create works for our past themes! You will find all of them in our deangenchallenge tag
You might combine this challenge with other events and bingos, as long as their rules allow it
The last day to publish your work for this round is September 30
When posting your work to ao3, add it to our collection deangenchallenge
Feel free to reblog to signal boost even if you’re not entering! :)
Work requirements below the cut
Work content
Dean Winchester must be the focus of the work, no putting him in the supporting role
No ships as this is a gen challenge
Platonic and familial relationships are fine
Passing hook-ups, similar to those Dean would engage in during case on the show, are also okay — they can’t however be the main focus of the works
All works must match the given theme but you’re free to interpret it however you want it, both literally or metaphorically
Mature/explicit content and dark themes are allowed, but must be properly warned for; visual explicit works must be hosted elsewhere and linked to on tumblr, not to violate tumblr’s content guidelines
No sexual content involving minors
No RPF or reader-insert works — the focus of this challenge is Dean
Works using quotes about Dean coming from Jensen, other actors, or the show’s creators are fine
You can submit more than one work for each theme

There was a new roller coaster in the theme park but you had to beat a game of the Binding of Isaac to finish it. I kept on making the ride take way too long because I refused to stop playing until I got every item.

The monster in Shinra Manor is singing the “Trail of Blood” theme from FF7.
First introduced when Sephiroth/Jenova leave behind the trail of carnage in the Shinra building and I believe it was last heard when Hojo revealed he was Sephiroth’s father. I need to verify.
The theme is heard in Remake and seems to be referenced in the Haunted Hotel. I’m sure there are more scenes where it’s heard, but I like that the monster is singing it. A nice detail.

I know it's a much beloved fic trope to have Stede wipe the kohl off Ed's face and tell him he knows he's Ed, he's not the Kraken, he knows him, he loves him, etc. But I have to say, I actually really love that by the time they're reunited, Ed's face is clean.
Ed has been through hell, his heart has been broken, he hates himself, he feels unworthy of love...
But now he wants to live.
Yes, of course it's wonderful that Stede loves Ed so deeply, that he's returned to him, that he wants him to be safe and well and happy. But Ed needs to want that first. Ed needs to go on his own healing journey that isn't contingent on Stede.
And with his face already bare in front of Stede when they reunite, with him having been re-born on a beach, we see that's happening.
He's taking his first steps forward, and I am so excited to see this journey.

ohhhh god I just realized too that they literally fucking emphasize izzy’s role as half of blackbeard in ep 8 before he dies…. prince ricky calling him “the great izzy hands”.. calling him “a legend”.. talking about how blackbeard gets all the praise “while you are quite clearly the brains of this operation”….. also the way ricky keeps emphasizing “pirate’s tales” and the continued talk about their ‘stories’….. do you get what I’m going for here like,, izzy is half of blackbeard. blackbeard is a pirate’s tale. it was always just a story. the story they built together… it could never end as long as izzy held it up….. izzy hands, forever a living symbol of blackbeard.

I’m not gonna sit here and say ‘well Marcille/Falin’s relationship was the driving force of the story’ cause it isn’t, that would be a gross oversimplification of the events and themes of dunmeshi, but to sit there and pretend like what they’ve got going isn’t infinitely more interesting and also like. linked to the actual themes and motifs of the manga as a ship but also as a relationship PERIOD would be a disservice to it and also it is just a better ship than senshuck or labru. Sorry.
