So you know how in the show, Annabeth is a black girl? Annabeth in the books is always mentioned to not be very careful of her appearance. She has curly blonde hair that she never really takes much care of and stuff, for instance. But in the show, she has really nice braids, etc. Now mind you, annabeth ran away from home when she was 7 years old, and her stepmom is Asian in the books and canonically wasn’t the most caring to annabeth for the years they spent together. This means, to me, that show-Annabeth never had anybody to teach her how to do her hair. She gets to camp half blood at 7 little years of age and is obliviously running around with a messy head of hair that she has no idea (and also probably doesn’t really care) how to take care of. My headcanon is that some black girl from the Aphrodite cabin saw her and was like “not on my watch” and took it upon herself to both braid annabeth’s hair and to teach her how to do it herself.

I also like to think Percy 100% learns how to braid hair just for Annabeth. And she doesn’t even know it because it happens during some school year. He stepped inside a braiding salon a couple of blocks from his apartment one day and was like “hi, sorry to bother, I wanna learn how to braid my friends hair” and the ladies at the salon where enchanted with this weird kid who came out of nowhere and who would NOT stop yapping about this cute black girl at summer camp who he absolutely was in love with but none of the ladies had the heart to tell him that because he seemed oblivious to his own feelings. So they taught him for free as long as he helped around the salon. And then one day at camp, he goes to get her at the athena cabin and Annabeth is sitting in her bed with a couple of mirror and a cloud of hair all around her and Percy’s like “need a hand?” And Annabeth’s like “as if you could help, seaweed brain” and percy just goes “is that a challenge?” And he helps her part her hair which can be a pain to do by yourself and then they both sit on her bed for hours doing knotless braids (Annabeth was wholly unconvinced he knew how to do them until he started working on a section of hair and it was all she could do to not hang her mouth open in surprise). Percy wasn’t quite as fast as annabeth had gotten after so many years of doing her own hair, but with his help it took half the time it would’ve taken her alone. The other kids of the athena cabin would stare at them from the door of the cabin and proceed to hightail it out of there. The amount of gossip going around camp that day was astronomical. But the two of them were oblivious in their little hyperfixated adhd bubble. After that it became tradition, as long as he could, Percy would help Annabeth braid her hair.

I really like how Donnie and Mikey having the shortest mask tails makes so much sense in regard to them being an inventor and an artist/cook respectively. If their mask tails were longer, it could be dangerous and/or get in the way of what they were trying to do.

Meanwhile Raph is large enough that his longer mask tails wouldn’t be easily used against him in fighting or sparring, plus the longer tails definitely make for a more standard hero/ninja look which would make him lean into it more.

Leo likes long mask tails because he can flip them.

Unlocking Elegance: The Art of the Knotless Braid

In the ever-evolving landscape of hairstyling, the knotless braid stands out as a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation. Its roots in African braiding techniques, combined with a modern approach to comfort and aesthetics, have propelled it to the forefront of hair fashion.

not arcane being the most heartbreaking and nuanced depiction of family and love and loss. but specifically of daughters -- "is there anything so undoing as a daughter" like, i will lose my SHIT.

vander dying for his daughters. vander living again, even though both science and magic itself says it should be impossible, for his daughters. silco willing to give up his dream of zaun, the one that he's worked for his whole life for his daughter bc he knows that his dream isn't worth having if jinx isn't there to share it with him. even though once upon a time, he and vander created that dream for her, for felicia's daughter(s).

marcus doing what he does, for his daughter; his last words being, "tell -- tell my daughter i --"

ambessa telling mel "you weaken me." and then trying (and failing) repeatedly to find a replacement, a protege, except no one else will do. bc no one else is her daughter.

and singed. holy shit singed. creating shimmer. flooding the undercity, bringing not one, but two societies nearly to their knees, simply for the love of his daughter.

and even cait's dad, who's clearly the "softer" one in his relationship, but he's always, always on cait's side, reminding his wife when she gets angry that their daughter's probably had a hard time and needs some rest.

is there anything so undoing as a daughter -- like no, silco. there isn't. bc clearly the world is made and unmade, braided and unbraided, between the fingers of fathers (and mothers) and their ineffable love for their daughters.

When Marcille roleplayed as Chilchuck’s wife because it’s a normal way to engage in gossip of course of course, her appearance is really just her as a half-foot in a common dress and two braids. Uncharacteristically simple for her, though she did wear those as a half-foot too. At the end of canon, Chilchuck, implicitly by the text ~filling the hole in her heart~ by doing her hair for her when she lost the will to care for it herself, puts it in two braids.

She’s one step closer to her "I wonder what Chilchuck would be like as a husband" fantasy…. Don’t give up girl dreams come true, keep asking him about spending the rest of your daily lives together Mfw his love language is acts of service
