#without having crocheted any part of it lol

These are some questions for tumblr, namely specific parts, like knitblr and so on,
I might have questions occasionally so I thought it would be good to add a tag you can filter this by! It's "kaizokushojo asks community"
Anyway that out of the way,
I'm going through my late great aunt's craft stuff that I claimed. They were going to throw ALL of it away. It's mostly thread and fabric craft, esp. crochet, but there are like... Whole hats, blankets, doilies, etc., as well as tons and tons of yarn and stuff. There's a lot finished, a lot unfinished. So.
Tumblr media
Just a pic in this case, lol.
Tumblr media
First question: how hard would it be to finish off this? I think...it might end up being a bookmark or something because idk if there's a pattern... Idk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This one looks like it would be very hard to finish. Again, I'm 100% "new," I do not know how to crochet. At all. (I've got all her supplies though.)
Tumblr media
She has THREE big big bundles of yarn for this so apparently she was thinking of making someone a full afghan?? But the knit of it is larger....so will this be relatively easy?! 😰
Tumblr media
I know what I can use the doilies for but WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THESE TRIVET-POTHOLDERY SORT OF THINGS.
Tumblr media
...also apparently she was making a blanket by attaching many of these other squares together (that's probably what the other pile of squares is for, just different project, I guess??) I have no idea how to do that. Is this going to be hard?? Not all of the squares are finished.
Please help me figure out what/how to do. I loved her very much. Yeah, I guess I should've asked her to teach me, but I've never been into crocheting and I never really thought she'd leave so much unfinished and...I kind of think it should be finished...idk. Where do I even begin. There are a zillion crochet needles and piles of yarn... It isn't like I'm against hard work, but I'm *new* and I don't want to RUIN cool things she had started, so that's kind of...what I'm getting at.
As a 33 y/o who has NOT ever done stuff like this, can I do any of these without botching her hard work, basically. :'(

What are some random headcanons about Janis you have?
HOHOOO DUDE YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PERSON
disclaimer these are all based on the musical version of her and from a list i made to base her personality off of before i started writing in 2021 so some have changed and whatnot anyhoo
-she met regina in ballet class when they were three. they went to the same preschool too (but different elementary schools)
-the ‘on wednesdays we wear pink’ also started in preschool
-she started working out in her senior year for the SOLE purpose of clocking bigots with as much force as possible
-her dad died when she was four (i haven’t included it in any of my fics but he died from some heart disease kinda shit bc why not)
-she’s GREAT at english, okay at history and piss poor at math and science
-in college she starts dyeing the blonde bits of her hair funky colors with temporary dye and then just before she graduates she cuts it all off and has shoulder-length hair for a solid 10 years lol
-she reads about alien conspiracy theories in her spare time
-she has a WILD sweet tooth
-she’s clumsy AF
-her dad was french so she actually speaks french fluently but pretends not to so she can stay in an easier class (and also stay in damian’s class)
-she’s lactose intolerant
-she refuses to acknowledge this
-she sent flowers to regina after the bus without putting her name on them
-she and kevin have a secret handshake
-she steals damian’s and cady’s jackets a lot, most of the time without realizing. and cady’s doesn’t fit so she uses it as a blanket most of the time
-she’s terrified of needles so she gets all her tattoos and piercings on impulse when she gets random bouts of courage
-she’s secretly kind of a horse girl
-the blonde hair used to be all blonde bc she dyed it when she was plastic but now it’s grown out and she just plays it off as part of her lewk ✨✨
-she’s wildly claustrophobic
-afraid of lots of little stupid things (geese, nougat, etc)
-likes horror movies bc they make her feel tough
-her birthday is october 17 :3
-she does yarn crafts (like knitting and crochet and cross stitch and shit) to get her angries out bc stabby stabby
-she and damian were always friends but she had to live a double life of her own to keep him safe from the plastics
-GIRL CAN DAYUUUUUUNCE. damian choreographs random routines all the time and makes her learn them so he has someone to do them with. janis secretly likes it
-she collects paintbrushes. she has a paintbrush graveyard in a shoebox for all the ones that are too frayed to use
-she always has paint somewhere. it never makes sense.
-post canon she and gretchen are workout buddies

Twst x black reader
I haven’t seen much content for black readers in “reader” side of this fandom so I decided to make some. This is my first time posting so if the “read more” doesn’t work I’ll try to fix it
If I see one more “-you blushed-“ in a 2nd pov fic I think my head will explode 😒 Anyways I do hope you enjoy! These can be seen as platonic or romantic!
Gn!reader. Characters- Azul, Epel, Jamil, Rook, Sam (platonic)
Warnings: I’m assuming you can cook and do your hair if you have it.
Azul
* It’s canon his favorite food is fried chicken
* Make him a plate of soul food and he’ll ascend
* That aside..
* Not sure why I but I think he’ll really like the twist hairstyle if you ever do it
* Teach him how to do some styles if you know how, it would be a lovely bonding time
* lol if you teach him some styles like braids or twist he’d probably be calculating in his head how to make sure each strand and part is perfect
Epel
* He is another one who would probably love your soul food
* He is amazed by how much care goes into your hair
* Especially wash days
* Ever since he got into pomefiore and under vil’s watch, he’s always had to take care of his makeup and hair and appearance
* Stuff he never really payed to much attention to before arriving at NRC
* So epel has gained some respect for you when he sees how much time you spend washing and taking care of your hair
Jamil
* He is also amazed by your hair care
* This man uses magic do to his braids right?
* Show him how to braid his hair without magic, and if you don’t know how to braid?
* Ask him if he can braid your hair with his magic
* I wish I could do my hair with a magic pen it’d be so much easier 😕
* If you know how to dance TEACH HIM SOME MOVES
* Jamil loves break dancing and he’s pretty good at it too
* And we have so many different dance styles 😩
* Show him your hip hop moves or your cakewalks
* And if you can break dance? Even better! Y’all are dancing buddies now
Rook
* He is amazed by your beauty
* Especially when the sun is out and your skin and eyes shine during golden hour
* he would love all the different styles you could do with your hair
* Waves, dreadlocks, box braids, crochet, twists, cornrows etc.
* If you have really coily hair, he would also be amazed at all the shapes and figures you can make with your fro, no matter the size
* Such beauty ☺️
Sam (platonic)
* The best person to help with your hair
* His shop has everything so he’s definitely gonna help with picking out the best products for you
* Would be so happy if you styled your hair the same as his
* Sam is someone who understands if your upset about how you hair isn’t cooperating with a style you wanted to try
* Sam is your best buddy for comfort if you ever have any problems in general since y’all get along so well
* He’s busy running his shop but he’ll always make time for you and hear you out
* He’ll probably give you some weird trinket you might like
* Best staff member 😌

Still crocheting away on the black thread project.
Plenty of time to ruminate over my latest doll fixation. I am going to make a Ghibli doll someday I swear it. I've been incubating random flop attempts for over ten years at this point. I'm GONNA seize the inspiration and DO IT ... someday lol
Who first 🧐 There are so many good ones. I'm particularly fond of Pazu, he just seems so steadfast and kind. Feeds birds. Has a good head on his shoulders.
And of course there's Kiki ... decisions decisions
Health talk below!!
Chest update, tumors have not changed size, still probably benign.
She needed to do a manual check up and was like wow I can tell you must be really sore I can feel how lumpy everything is. She thanked me for not flinching?? We did discuss already how sore I always am, but this is definitely the worst part of my cycle for that.
For the first time I really confided in this doctor how much more comfortable in my skin I'd be with NO chest. She was helpful to talk to but in her capacity she can't just do like, top surgery without pressing medical need. She explained what types of cosmetic surgery I could go to another doctor like a plastic surgeon for.
OR if I do this genetic test I've been putting off and it comes back 20% or more likelihood of breast cancer then they can perform a mastectomy. My half sister had breast cancer at my age, but somehow that only makes me at most a 17% risk according to their calculations. The world is so fucking bizarre sometimes.
She also said possibly severe anxiety over the possibility of cancer may be enough reason, though they would send me to a psychiatrist etc first. She said it like a negative but I took it like a "don't threaten me with a good time" cause damn I'd love a professional to see about my anxiety.
Anyway long story short I sure would love top surgery, for a shitload of tangled up reasons. Wish I'd been born with a different set of junk altogether but now gotta figure out how far I'd go to change what I've got.
Period incoming any second now. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Feel free to add your own anecdotes on my health posts. I'm sharing on purpose to try to help others who may be like me and stuff. It's difficult for me to actually write so much personal stuff about MYSELF, despite sincerely benefitting from reading many other people's experiences so.

Hii! I was wondering if I could request some Texas/Austin stuff with California headcanons? Your headcanons are always so much fun to read, thank you and have a lovely day/night! ^^
Aw thank you!
So, um, Texas an Cal.
I have to say they were my to go ship when i entered the fandom, but now i see them more as Enemy/tolerated friends?
Well, first they met when they were under Mexico. They were friends, until Texas became the republic of Texas and declared his independance from Mexico; whch initially broke their friendship (he never told Cal why, or even told him period). And Cal can hold a grudge.
When they both became part of the USA (bear with me, and sorry for any istorical inacuracity-im canadian not american lol) Cal was too high on the Gold rush to wanna be friend with that back stabber again.
Which lead to today, when they typically can't face eachother without hating each other.
BUT I think, that the states political views/values depends on how they let their politicians affect them.
Like. Texas himself doen't care about gay people, trans people, or abortion, but he has an image to share and his politicians wants him to do so (and piss off the dems). I think they both need to make their own mind about how they feel about that, and if the views they have currently of those political debates represent their population. Like, my aunt spend a week in San Antonio last summer, and she said they were so welcoming!
The media we see is not what the people are like! it's a generalisation,a nd i believe Texas isn't as bad as he looks! (Same for Cal, dude's an hypocrite, but if he could only recognized it, he could get better!)
So, for that long rant, I believe while I don't ship Texacali, it could be possible if they both do some introspection.
Now, to me, Austin is aware of Cal hypocrisy, and the fact that Cal has to represent over 40 millions of people (that's more than my fucking country, so cut him some slack). I believe Austin did some introspection and is the perfect person to help Texas to do some on his own (If Tex chose to at least hear him out). He's an amazing character who reflect the good and the bad of both side because he's stuck between them! He Got the majority of Texas who's red, and his own part who's blue! He's in the purple zone, and therefore can make them both (Cal and Tex) that they need to look at themselve and ask : Am I representing my people or the media verson of them?
So, I think Austin/Cal is more plausible than Tex/Cal on the romantic side.
But you didnt ask if i could see it, you asked for headcanons, so i apologize for getting sidetracked like that ^^
Now, couple headcanon!
Tex/Cal
Their favourite date is going horseback riding together! Texas got his own ranch, and Cal love gardening, so Tex has a greenhouse for California!
Cal can't make food to save his life, so Texas learned all his diet restriction and what kind of diet he's on at that time and makes food accordingly!
Cal adore using Texas as his muse when he draws/paint; I also headcanon that Texas can sew and do beading, and Cal can knit/crochet, so calm rainy night you can find them both working of gift for the other watching some old western.
Austin/Cal
Austin loves reading and camping, and Cal liked to do photography! They can spend a few days in the wild, be it the rockys or in plains; they like it. They're both swifties, and so goes to the concert when cal manage to get tickets; and days at the beach are awesome!
That's all for now, but asks are always open!^^

Just thinking about how things have turned out since I've more or less quit rping. I'd been doing it so long, I was a little scared of what it'd be like without it... What will there be to do? Who will I talk to? How will I make new friends?
Honestly, making new friends has been the most difficult part, but I've been friendly with some folks in the game I've picked up to pass time. Plus I do have the friends that have stuck with me through the phases. I've come to notice that there's friends you rp with, and rp friends... and the ratio seems to be 1:5. It's not bad, you know, it's like having friends of friends sitting with you at the lunch table. And once you leave, well, they don't really follow after.
Ultimately, though, I find that I'm doing fairly well. I've been focusing on some larger crochet projects, I've been playing some games, I've been trying to get back into my reading, I've been catching up with youtubers I've been putting off. For a bit there I still went back and checked in often, but now I honestly forget about the account for weeks before looking in again, just in case there's something I need to address. I'm about to just leave it for good.
I find that I'm less stressed out now. Less concerned about religiously checking my dash, less worried about what I post or what others post... I cry less lmfao. I know now that even though it's been a hobby for over half my life now, it's not exactly been good for me. There's been a lot of fun, but there's been enough times of things winding up in drama and anger, or just simply winding up hurt and brought down that I find the overall experience to be quite negative. I wouldn't change it, you know, I've made some real true friends through all this, but I don't think I'll continue to pursue it all.
Imagine though... This all being the last straw for a 20+ year long hobby lol. But you know. Just because you've been into something for so long in so many ways, it doesn't mean that it's ultimately been any good for you. This is me just saying that sometimes you should evaluate where you stand on something and determine whether it's doing more harm than good.

About Me
You've got the basic rundown from my sidebar but what else could there be? So much more obviously lol. This is really long so read at your own risk. I’m only posting this to pin it :P
Anyways I'm a queer transmasculine guy who's gender is best describe as la croix boy, sparkling guy, or guy-adjacent. I present masculinely in public as well as obviously queer. I’m also mlm/nblm meaning I’m gay and I like dudes.
I am not subtle about being queer at all in any shape or form, nor do I censor or tag it or any other slurs. Being queer is an essential part of my identity, one you can not remove without erasing a part of me. The intersection between my gender and sexuality is complex and I don’t really care for microlabels for myself.
Besides that I have hobbies! Too many of them! I crochet just about anything I’ve done 10in amogus’s, shawls (I love making shawls even though they’re not my style), and useful things like pot holders and wash cloths! I’m also getting into cross stitch. I draw as well as keep bugs. I forget to tag things alot but I usually tag “bugs” “spider” “arachnid” etc. I’m awkward so I don’t post much myself but I reblog stuff about transmascs, the queer community, bugs, and whatever I find funny. This is my old blog from like 2014-2018 that I’m reusing out of laziness so if you’re trying to dig up dirt on me please check post dates lmfao. I am much different now than I was when I was 14-18.
Some of my views: - I (and bigots) don’t give a fuck about slur discourse in respect to the queer community. I’m not gonna censor them, especially if it’s in regards to a persons identity. For example I’m not gonna say “The D*ke March” or the “D-slur March” because I respect them and their right to reclaim and identify themselves. If you ask me to tag tranny, faggot, dyke, etc. you’re better off blocking me/those words and moving on. If you ask me to tag queer, you’re the one catching a block.
- Trans people can not oppress each other on the basis of being trans, but they can hurt eachother personally. A transmasc can perpetuate transmisogyny but trans guys do not oppress trans women/vice versa. - Anti-transmasculinity exists. Actually I’ll go a step further, misandry does exist and mainly manifests against oppressed groups though it is also spread by radfem groups. - Radfems catch a block, I don’t care if you are “trans friendly”, radical feminism is inherently transphobic. Men and Masculinity are not inherently evil, disgusting, or violent and can exist in non-toxic ways. Alongside that, femininity can be toxic and weaponized, such as radical feminism and false rape accusations.
- I don’t want to get into shipping discourse but I lean more pro-ship. I believe censorship demonstrably and inevitably leads to the silencing of minority communities. Tumblr is ironically a good example of this seeing as the porn ban also lead to trans women being labelled “nsfw” for simply existing.

15 questions for mutuals
Tagged by @devotedsims 💜 and @stargazer-sims 💜
are you named after anyone? Nope. My mom just liked it and didn’t think it was an “old lady name” at the time, that was exactly what she told me. lol
when was the last time you cried? Uh… a few days ago? I think? It’s not uncommon but that’s way too much baggage to unpack here. 😅
do you have kids? Nope but my nieces are over enough that sometimes I feel like a part time parent, I just get to hand them back. lol
do you use sarcasm a lot? I do because a lot of people in my life do. I try to be careful not to around people I don’t know though because not everyone picks up on it nor likes it, and when not careful it can be hurtful even when unintentional. That’s something I don’t want to do.
what sports do you play/have you played? No sports now, but I used to love anything relating to horses, used to do a lot of trail riding even when it meant risking my life in the winter. lol I really miss it and the horses I bonded with. 🙁
what’s the first thing you notice about other people? Usually colours, like clothes and hair.
eye colour? Grey-blue, sometimes grey-greenish. So, grey? 😅
scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. I need to sleep at night without my imagination hyping up my anxiety. lol
any special talents? Not any more. I used to draw a lot but I don’t have time to get back into it any more. I can still draw a decent horse from memory though I guess. 🤷‍♀️
where were you born? Nova Scotia, one of the most awkward time zones trying to find a group to play an MMO FPS with. 😅
what are your hobbies? I have time for video games and my simblr and that’s usually it. I’d like to have other hobbies though if I had time/mental energy, like drawing again, crochet, and knitting.
do you have any pets? Yep, I have a black kitty I adopted maybe about 10 years ago named Emily. She’s my little buddy. 🙂
how tall are you? Around 5′7″.
fave subject in school? Art in high school. Anything to do with cultural anthropology in university though. Those classes taught me so much and changed a lot of my world view about so many things.
dream job? I wanted to be a teacher. I was hoping to teach English as a second language (took an intro course for it) but alas life happened and it was not to be.😔
I’m not sure who to tag because I saw a lot of people have already done it. Also feel that question 2 could feel like a really personal question that I’m not sure everyone would be comfortable with answering. 😅

While I haven’t finished the skill tree I have pretty much finished my most recent crochet project. This is Ruru in its Ke version, from JO1’s Sanrio characters, the Jochum. As you can see it’s still missing it’s mouth and the heart on the crown, but I don’t own any red or gray string. This is my first pattern design, I’ll talk about the process under the cut.
I designed this pattern entirely on my own from things I’ve learned by crocheting other things. Tbf it’s pretty basic shapes so it’s not like it was super difficult to design, however, there’s some things I wish I’d done differently:
I wish I had designed the tentacles first, that way I would’ve sized the head correctly. The head was the easiest part to do cause it was just a sphere so I went with it first, I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be able to size the tentacles down without them basically losing their fun shape.
The yellow is the wrong shade but I didn’t have anything else lol
Because the head is small, the crown also looks too big, but I was afraid making it any smaller would mess with the shape.
I think that really fluffy type of thread would make it look way better.
Though I don’t love how it came out, there are some things I do like about it:
Figuring out the tentacles was really hard and I’m really proud of myself for doing it and managing to keep the shape pretty well!
Figuring out the crown was also fun since I couldn’t find any patterns for small ones lol
I’ve gotten so much better at attaching parts on, still needs some practice tho
And finally here’s the process detailed in pictures!

Intro Post
(Every few days I remember something I forgot or have new links to add lol it's constantly changing a little bit)
So I go by Lyra (or Library lol) and I use she/her pronouns. That's all I can think of to put here lol.
I'm a reader and a writer. I love romantic fantasy in both, but I'll read almost anything. Not really into horror, but I've dabbled in most other genres when it comes to reading, all the way to non-fiction. I'm always accepting new recs even though I have a ridiculous tbr and wishlist lol.
Always happy to talk about books with anyone, but be wary of that once you get me started I won't ever stop annoying you about it lol.
Some of my favorites right now are:
The Folk of the Air trilogy [the cruel prince, etc]
The Grishaverse books [my favorite is either Crooked Kingdom or Rule of Wolves]
Once Upon a Broken Heart series (as of Oct 15. I'm hyperfixating on this one, so you're getting a lot of fandom content for them)
I have ADHD (if you couldn't tell from my overuse of parenthesis and brackets [every thought comes with a bonus thought and sometimes an extra bonus thought like this!]). I'm a Christian with more progressive theology, but this blog is a safe place for everyone as long as we're all loving to each other and respect each other's beliefs and identities (and I love having good faith dialogue [not debates!! 0 interest in theological debates.], I love hearing other perspectives and getting to talk about it, so feel free to dm me about that, too). I'm an ISFJ and a 9w1, and I don't know that much about it yet but I love typology. I also love video games, mostly Stardew Valley and the sims right now (thinking about making a secondary blog for that).
I post fandom stuff and writing things for my wips. You'll probably get lots of stuff for my wip Idk, Dragons ocs once NaNo starts. And just random stuff for whatever I'm hyperfixating on in the moment lol. I'm totally open to asks about anything involving my wips or fandom-related asks. I participate in Storyteller Saturday and Worldbuilding Wednesday every week, and feel free to ask for any of the other events, too. Tag games are also cool!
I also have an instagram @lyra.brie and you'll find a couple pics of my crocheted dinosaurs, some random faith thoughts, and song. I'm very inactive there, but feel free to check it out.
And now the fun part!! Intros to my wips and ocs:
Wisteria and Wanderlust: you can find the blurb here, as well as the link to my wattpad which has a few snippets and skits and full character intros. An overview of Zal and Clay's dynamic here.
Short overviews of the original three here.
Unnamed Academic Rivals WIP: here is a sort of summary I wrote.
I Don't Know, Dragons [this is a placeholder title, but I might just keep it lol]: this post isn't exactly a blurb, but it's everything I know so far that I can share without spoiling. (I actually need to update it and make a real post for it soon lol. The main development is that Elara's love interest is a werewolf boy.) This one is still in the planning stage so everything is heavily subject to change. I'll be doing it as my NaNo project this year, so it's posted about a lot right now. New Cynthia post here.
The Flourescent Iguana: here's the intro post. I've finished the first draft of this one, but it needs heavy replotting/rewriting.
Writing Snippets
I only have two actual writing bits on here so far, but I intend to have more, so I'll update this as I go! (Let me know if you guys want me to post the Wisteria and Wanderlust stuff I have on wattpad here, too, cuz I can totally do that.)
Idk, Dragons:
I have a bunch of small snippets posted under #nano updates
Fanfics:
EvaJacks "Who Are You?" FanFic
EvaJacks Bunny Saving FanFic
EvaJacks Baby Dragon FanFic
Wisteria and Wanderlust:
Just a quote
Poetry/Songs:
Just Broken
~~~
So that's me! I'm always happy to make new friends and my dms are open, feel free to message me just to ramble about your wip or a hyperfixation!

Fluff Alphabet for Error?
(Link to the ask game! I was too lazy to type what each prompt meant so y'all can suffer uwu) (Sorry lol I just couldn't fit them in nicely)
Admiration: Really depends on the person, but he especially admires people who are highly justice-driven or brave.
Body: Hair. Hair anyday. Running his hands through it, braiding it, hell, even petting-- if you're trustworthy enough to touch, he's touching your hair.
Cuddling: He doesn't like cuddling. At all. If he did, though, he'd be the big spoon, curled around you as you lay on your sides. On a beanbag, preferably.
Dates: His ideal date involves going somewhere in Outertale and binging Undernovella, probably with food, or at least chocolate.
Emotions: He doesn't really, he's genuinely shit at communicating, so unless you're really good at reading people, he's not going to seem to express many genuine emotions.
Family: He has no interest in kids, but the bad sanses are essentially family to him. He still doesn't want them, though. Or so he says.
Gifts: He loves gift giving, it's probably his main love language. He gives you dolls, food, scarves and blankets, really anything you can think of.
Handholding: Touch still isn't his thing, but handholding is the most acceptable form of touch, honestly. It's simple, slow, and he can take his hand back anytime. Highly endorsed by him, especially in the first year of a relationship.
Injury: Panic, but sane panic, unlike some people (Cross). He'll make an effort to get you care, probably dragging you to Sci's or even Nightmare's. He will, in his own, rather angry way, make sure you take care of yourself afterwards, and he'll sit by your bed while you rest, and keep you company.
Jokes: His jokes mostly consist of death threats, y'know, like a... normal... person... Yup.
Kisses: He hates kisses. This isn't even a touch thing, he just thinks they're gross. The most you're getting is tiny forehead kisses.
Love: His way of saying "I love you" is almost entirely through gifts.
Memories: His favourite memory is either your first date, or the first time you touched each other without him crashing. Depends on which one was funnier, probably.
Nightmares: His worst fear, on surface level, is touch. Beneath that, his worst fear is losing everything and everyone he cares about again. That's why he's so asshole-ish, because he's afraid that if he makes friends, family or even gains an attachment to an object, he'll just lose it.
Oddity: His little quirk is probably just his glitches, but honestly like. What part of him isn't odd?
Pet Names: His pet names probably default to stuff like "adorable abomination". But he will, after a while develop stuff specific to you, based on personality or random behaviors. So for someone who's a really good singer, you'll get something bird-related.
Quality Time: Time with you is best spent in silence, so he's just able to admire you out of the corner of his eye while he crochets stuff. He doesn't mind if you talk though, so long as he doesn't have to contribute to the conversation.
Rhythm: I dunno what to do for this one, it relies so heavily on the readers personality. I'm just going to skip it. (Personally I'd say "I'm Glad You're Evil Too", but again, reader personality)
Secrets: He's not open, per say, but he can be brutally honest somedays-- so long as it's not showing affection, he's going to be saying his thoughts.
Time: A fucking eternity. Literally. It'll take years to even get the most basic trust, and even longer for you two to actually get together.
Upset: He, like any good boyfriend, is going to try and murder the cause of your hurt. And then anxiously hover around until you calm down. He'll wrap a blanket around you, and feed you chocolate, too.
Vaunt: He loves to show off how easily he can murder people, but to people he truly trusts and loves, he likes showing off his many little art projects.
Warrior: He'll fight beside and for you, but you fighting alone scares him. He's afraid you're going to get hurt, or kidnapped, or even killed, and he can't handle that.
X-ray: He's not that good at reading people, so he's not going to be crazy good at reading you, or anyone else. He can tell when you're hiding something and when you're upset, but that's about it.
Yes: He wouldn't propose to you, he doesn't know what weddings are and he doesn't have any interest in getting married. You love each other, isn't that all that matters? (If you want to get married, you're gonna have to do the proposing.)
Zen: He really likes stars, and quiet music, as well as fiber arts, and those are his go-to calming things. He'd rather stargaze in your company, however.

so. this is my attempt at revitalizing a small part of old romanian culture via tungel.hell. also goes for the near&far eastern versions of this, of which i was able to find nothing of (at least in english) online as well
Tumblr media
i have not been able to find pictures of either of these hairstyles or even their less complex variations past the early 1930s. perhaps this is still done somewhere in huneduara, but it escapes me
now, firstly, i wanna say i originally learned how to twist by going to an african hair salon; so shoutout to the two congolese women who taught me. they couldn't figure out how the top part was done either but they were v sweet lol
these are twist braids, crochet braids, they have several names. i only know that the ones on the right were called cuarne, "horns", in romanian. this is one of the better and more clear tutorials i have found for how to twist. its pretty easy and fast, once you get the hang of it
youtube
to start: I recommend heavily conditioning your hair and scalp the night before if youre planning on keeping them for days/weeks, and oiling/moisturizing it before you start braiding. I dont know what oil they used back in the day (perhaps animal), but I use both argan oil and a pretty oily leave in conditioner. however, this depends on hair type, u want your hair to absorb it; if your hair or hands are too slick it will make it more difficult.
the way the begginings of the braids are done - the way it looks like the hair is flat until them - is like this. i made them bigger so its easier to see, but once you get the sections of hair thin enough (vertically), you cant see any skin between them anymore. you can start to twist from the very top (using the bottom/lower strand to pull the hair to the scalp), or start with a 3 way part and quickly switch to two (might look a bit different/flatter). change the direction of the twist when you change sides
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the ones on the left are straight down; the ones on the right are done at an angle twoards the back (ca şi cuarnele). the ones in the top left photo are angeled twords the front, center forehead initially. old photos show there were several styles floating around, soo uhh have fun w it
how to keep them: chances are if youre going to spend hours upon hours doing this youre not gonna want to take them out the next day. if you have tight curly hair, or coarse, they're likely to stay better. even if not, once you get the twisting down right, they'll stay quite well (the braids can look "right" but not actually be; the way to tell is if when you let go, it barely comes undone/spins. tbh this is one of those skills you develop w time). generally, the smaller and tighter you make them, the more likely they are to keep. you can of course tie them w small elastics, but the smaller they are, it becomes a nightmare and closing one takes longer than making it. something ive found works quite well is: when you near the end, split the hair in 3 parts and do a regular braid, as small, tight, and for as long as you can (no this isnt good for your ends). by the bottom the braid is already small enough that the difference can't be seen, but it will close it much better. (there are also ways to make knots at the bottom of braids out of hair but ive never been good at this). hair spray or gel also kinda work (and uhh i think maybe either sealing them w ice cold or boiling water, or using a hair iron, but i havent tried these)
hair damage& care: this ⬇️ is how the hair looks the morning after i took out the half-assed ones i did for this post. as u can probably guess, when you do this small and tight, and keep them in long, these strands get quite compact. now, if you did this carefully and correctly, your hair wont be tangeled, just twisted, and youll be able to take them out without damaging your hair by gently rolling them between your fingers, starting at the botttom, in the opposite direction. dont attempt to use a comb, or start from the top, or rush, bc chances are you will pull and very quickly create a very nasty knot which will fuck up your hair. last time i did these on my own, i kept them for about 3 weeks; id oil them every other day or so, and i washed them once. I have pretty thin hair, but i had no real issue. you just have to b patient taking them out
Tumblr media
for reference, just this front section of my hair took around 3 hours to do
