Don Flamenco & Great Tiger Meet (Punch-Out!! Monster Hunter AU)

Posting this one on Tumblr bc it’s not long lol

Title says it all, enjoy :3

——————

Don Flamenco was standing in front of his mirror, examining his gills. He only had them on the side he was looking at, with the other side being smooth. The small filaments flittering when he ran a finger over them, grimacing at the sensation.

He’d been swimming for about an hour, but was now painstakingly trying to reach into his gills to get… something out.

He wasn’t sure what exactly, but he could feel it when he was breathing. It was pissing him off. It was flimsy, and kept moving with the air going in and out of his lungs.

He grunted as he pulled his hand back again, sucking in a breath through his teeth. He felt it again as his gills took in air as well.

“This is pointless!” He threw his hands up. Forgetting his makeup bag the one day he needed it. Great.

“I may be able to help.”

Don whipped around at the sound of a foreign voice. A man stood behind him, he wore a turban, tiger-print pants and a lovely moustache.

He cupped a hand over his shoulder, a muffled prickling sound coming from under it. Tiger raised an eyebrow, but Don pulled his hand away and his gills had vanished. He clasped his hands together cheerily and asked, “Pardon me! I didn’t hear you come in. Do you need something?”

The other man simply extended a hand to him in greeting. “I am Great Tiger. I will be your opponent later this week.”

‘Oh, right.’ Don thought, looking him up and down. He didn’t take Tiger’s hand.

“Well, as you can see I’m busy. I’d like some privacy. While you’re at it, go ahead and forget that you saw me.”

Tiger felt the words swim through his ears, warming his whole body from the inside. Luckily, he’d come prepared. He didn’t budge.

Don waited expectantly, but when Tiger didn’t move his expression soured. He raised his voice.

“Are you deaf? Get out of this room. Now.”

Tiger chuckled, manifesting a pair of headphones made of smoke to emphasize his point. He pointed to them with a grin.

“I came prepared my friend. I know all about you and your tricks.” He crossed his arms. Don’s face contorted, and a flash of panic overwhelmed his face before he turned away from him. He folded up his pocket mirror and shoved it into his gym bag before slicking his hair and turning back around to him with a smile on his face.

“Apologies my friend. Don Flamenco, charmed.”

Tiger’s grin didn’t fade as he took his hand and shook it firmly. He nodded curtly before pointing to Don’s neck.

“Now, how about you show me those gills? I can help you with whatever problem you might have.”

Don instinctively put his hand to where he was pointing, but upon feeling smooth skin he let out a small sigh.

“What kind of monster are you?” He said, ignoring Tiger’s offer.

“I am no monster, my friend. Merely an observer.” He bowed his head slightly. “But I believe that you and I will get along… swimmingly.” He raised his eyebrows, looking to Don’s face.

Don’s eye twitched. “Not if you keep making puns.” Tiger laughed at his own joke before continuing.

“You and I can learn a lot from each other.” He began to float, sitting in a chair that Don couldn’t see. “We both have our ways of gathering information. So I say we exchange.”

Don had an odd feeling in his stomach. He pushed it down and continued.

“What’s your goal here?” He asked, raising his arms in a shrug with a look of annoyance. Tiger vanished, before reappearing over by Bear Hugger’s locker.

“This one, right here. He’s very private, isn’t he? Why don’t you tell me what he is?”

“And what makes you think I’m going to tell you anything at all?”

Tiger teleported in front of him, still floating a few feet of the ground. He made a motion with his two fingers, and Don’s toupee flew right off his head.

“You don’t have to, but I think the other boxers would get a kick out of your receding hairline.”

Don could only stare at the man floating above him. His pupils turned to slits and his gills came out, vibrating slightly as a growl left his throat. His teeth were sharpening and he was ready to kill.

Until Don felt something fly out of his gills. It was as though he had cleared something out of his throat, and the sensation knocked him to his knees as he choked. His gills closed up immediately and he felt his breath return to normal. He saw a small wet object on the floor, but he turned to face Tiger first.

He snapped and Don felt his fake hair return to its rightful place. He went to say something, but Tiger had already vanished, his laughter echoing through the room.

He slowly got up off the floor, and upon scanning the room and finding no trace of Tiger, he walked over to the thing that had clogged his gills.

It was a bandaid with a small dot of blood in the middle. Don picked it up gingerly by the edge. He sniffed it and immediately knew who the blood belonged to.

“Joe.” He spat, throwing it to the floor. Sometimes he wondered if keeping him around was even worth it.

But his attention eventually wandered back to the events that had transpired in the locker room. He felt a rage grip his soul that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Don vowed to never let Tiger play him for a fool again.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYEDD GUYS I BREWED THIS UP IN LIKE AN HOUR SO I HOPE THERES NO CRAZY BAD SPELLING MUSTAKES OR ANYTHING

There is this one promo pic that was taken the night of when Kane unmasked and It gets me every time. I found it once, then couldn't find it after, until recently....

I don't know what it is about this pic that gets me. His smug look? The fact he still had his eyebrows and we could see what facial hair he had before he unmasked, and he has no makeup smudged like in the show. The way his hands are positioned?

I know people have thoughts about the "hairline from hell" but this pic is just perfect to me 😚

Anyways, my sibling and I call his haircut the coin toss, bc it's 50% bald and 50% hair.

@mary-aisha I just needed to share this image💖

The Gods if the "no DNA" thing didn't exist. Also, no demigods dating eachother bc that'd be awkward. Also also, IDC how genetics work.

Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon, and Zues all look related.

Poseidon, Hera, and Demeter look more alike. In the right lighting, Poseidon and Demeter could look like twins. Dark hair, tan skin, green eyes.

Hestia, Hades, and Zues all look more alike. They could pass as triplets if Zues wasn't blonde and stockier than the other two.

This passes down to their kids.

At first glance, everyone thought that Percy was a Demeter kids when he first got to camp.

He and Katie look alot alike, they have the exact same hair line and eyebrows.

Nico and Thalia look very similar. Dark hair, pale with an olive undertone, similar nose and eye shapes.

All of the big three kids have the same brow bone shape that makes them look like they're glaring. This includes Bianca, Jason and Hazel. Hazel has a softer look to her eyes that makes her look more confused than angry.

Thalia let her hair grow out once to experiment and let Sally play around with her hair and makeup. Looked just like Hestia. The same could be said for Bianca but her skin was tanner than Nico's so she leaned towards her Mother or Demeter.

Poseidon, Percy, and Nico all snort when they laugh.

Thalia and Apollo have the same smile.

Nico, Artemis, and Hephaestus all scrunch their noses when they are annoyed or confused.

Hazel just has most of Hestia's face. Other than her nose, lips, and coloring that she got from her mother.

Hera actually likes Jason because he looks like a combo of her and Zues. He has Zues' face but her smile.

Jason and Thalia both have their mothers hairline and ears.

When Percy gets angry, he looks just like his mom.

when Nico gets angry he look just like his dad. His resting face looks more like his mother and Bianca.

Thalia and Zues both make the same face before they start crying.

Artemis and Athena have similar voices, especially when they yell. Artemis' is slightly deeper.

Hermes and Ares look so alike in the face that if it weren't for their different body types and coloring, they'd be twins.

I like the version of Aphrodite's birth that makes her older than the Olympian gods so that's why she isn't included.

All the ridicculously handsome guys I've seen with their rising hairlines or balding in general make me feel not so bad about how much my hair has thinned... (not even bcs of T but because I have mystery flares of hair thinning I've had since pre-T days as well, probably burn-out and trauma related, + recently a hair dye kit I bought said "fuck you" to my scalp... 🥶)

(Many women in both sides of my family have very thin hair for some reason. I got their genes.)

But yeaahh as someone who is obsessed with my looks and has like... A tendency to view my entire face through a dysmorphia-ridden lense, hair is obviously very important to me. I need it to look decent to myself.

Ssoo yea I'm delighted that working on my self-esteem has made me feel a lot better about this hair issue, I feel that treating myself like a spoiled princess in my private life and giving myself the kind of dignity and care I need just really... Makes me feel unstoppable no matter what happens to my body.

Also I've certainly met ppl with a feminine gender expression who have visible balding, and they looked completely fine to me. They were confident and being themselves so the balding just felt like another natural bodily feature just like leg hair. Ppl can be feminine and pretty and elegant while balding visibly, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Bcs femininity is very important to myself as well (see when I was painting walls at a renovation site for a job gig last week, despite all those workman clothes I did my makeup that day bcs it's rebellion against the idea that such work is inherently masculine somehow, or would erase my feminine faggot personality lol), seeing feminine people with thinning hair or balding of any kind also really calms my anxieties about gender expression.

And while there is a whole myriad of examples of handsome manly men who are bald asf, tbh now I feel like I need to see more rep of androgynous and fem characters with thinning or balding hair. And butch women and non-cispassing transmascs and men because I feel that I navigate a kinda different landscape of looks insecurities than ppl who willingly pass as cis men.

Starting to perhaps feel more inspired for some character designs now...

Okay I’m no guru, but:

1) you need it make sure your skin is moisturized. If your skin is naturally dry, then a thicker one should be good. If it’s oily, then thinner should work. The bottles of moisturizer will say whether it’s better for skin that’s oily or dry. Think about how your face feels when you get out of the shower and sit for maybe 15 mins - if it feels tight, it’s likely dry. If you feel slightly sweaty, then you’re oily. They also make things for any skin - whatever is easiest for you.

You could go ham on makeup but my day to day is very simple:

2) Concealer. It’s exactly what it sounds like, meant to cover things you don’t want to see. It comes in a stick with a little applicator that’s soft on the end (typically). It goes under your eyes (I also put it on my eyelids bc I’m ghostly pale and my veins show thru the skin) and also on any blemishes. I also put it on my chin, under my nose, and in between my eyebrows, but that’s where I’m naturally discolored. Yours will be different based on where you see discoloration, but your undereyes, eyelids, and blemishes are great places to start. I use a brush to tap it in to make sure it covers the discoloration and then my fingers to tap out the edges and make sure it blends in with my skin. I would go slightly lighter than your natural skin tone if possible, but it’s hard when you’re pale, so as long as it matches, you’re golden. The Elf CAMO Concealer is affordable and has great shade range and is also super user friendly. Their lightest shade is very light. I use this brush:

A lot of people use foundation. It goes over (or under, but I prefer over) concealer and it goes all over your face to even your skin tone and put down a solid base. Some people use a brush and some use a beauty sponge. As a paler person, I find it impossible to get a good match. Concealer is easier to match and will do a lot of what foundation can do if you’re comfortable with the overall texture and color of your skin. You can definitely go to a store and see if they’ll match your skin tone to any makeup (concealer and foundation), but that’s only if you’re going to a specific makeup store. You’re on your own in a grocery store or drug store or something like that.

3) Bronzer. Now that you’ve evened out your skin tone, you want to breathe some life back into your face. It’s tan, meant to give you a little bit of definition, like a slightly bronzy glow. They make it in cream and powder. Cream is more for full face imo, so I’d stick with powder. You want it darker than your skin, but not too dark. The fairest shade should work for you. It comes in a compact. You also put it on with a brush, but it’s bigger and fluffier. Should look something like this:

I keep it loose in my hand and dip the brush in the powder (swirl the brush in circle or two around the pan) and then tap the handle of the brush once or twice on something hard to make sure the extra powder comes off so you don’t use too much (you’ll see the powder come off the bristles). I start on my forehead and keep it at my hairline (halfway between my hairline and eyebrows), loose circles so you don’t end up with a harsh line between the powder and your skin. I go across my hairline and then down the sides of my hairline to my cheekbones, then go across my cheekbones to mid-cheek or so. Very loose wrist/touch to keep it gentle and to keep any lines soft. I would also go on my jaw. Bottom of your ear to the edge of your chin, basically straight underneath the corner of your lip. It chisels you out with making it too harsh.

I don’t use blush for every day. It’s pink, meant to add pink back into your cheeks. If you want to use it, I’d stick with powder. When I use it, I put it on the apples of my cheeks and then up around your eye socket (stay away from your under eyes where you put the concealer) to the hairline by the side of your eye. Again, loose wrist and gentle lines to make sure nothing is harsh.

4) Tinted eyebrow gel. It comes in a tiny tube that looks like a mini mascara tube. The Elf brow gel is my favorite. It has a slight tint so it’ll darken your brows a bit - you want to go with a shade that’s close to your hair color. On the inner side of your brows, you want to use the gel like mascara (the applicator is a spoolie) - run the bristles up towards your forehead so that the hairs kind of stay up. Loosely, very loose wrist, you’re almost flicking the hair upwards, you don’t need a ton of pressure. I then just kind of drag the bristles through the rest of my eyebrow to give it that tint, but I don’t go crazy with the direction of the hair.

4) Mascara. L’Oreal makes a tube (it’s called Telescopic, in the gold tube) - it’s my favorite of all time and absolutely blows the expensive stuff out of the water. I only put it on my top lashes. I start with my right eye, give it a quick swipe from your eyelid (that’s called your waterline) to the tip of your lash. Make sure you do it to your whole lash line - I start in the middle, and then do the edges, and then use the very tip of the brush to try and hit my thin lashes in the inner corner. Theoretically, you want the outer lashes to be a bit longer and then taper inwards so your inner lashes are shorter, but that’s nitpicky. I’d use black only for now - you can experiment with lots of colors if you want.

The only other thing I add is highlighter maybe half the time - it’s super shiny and meant to give a natural highlight to the areas of your face where the sun would naturally hit. It’s powder (they also have it in cream but again I wouldn’t bother) and I use a finger. I just tap it in the powder lightly and then tap it on my skin where it needs to go. I put it on the inner corners of my eyes, on the tip of my nose, and on my chin. Make sure you keep it blended, so tap the edges so it’s not just a circle.

The most important thing is to make sure these lines aren’t harsh. Everything is about blending, making sure the edges are soft, making sure that there’s a natural transition from one part of the skin to another without really noticing. And colors, but given what you’ve said, the lightest colors are likely best for you. I think you’re in great shape if you stick with the lightest colors and make sure you apply with a really light and gentle touch.

Then you just set it if you want - they make this stuff called setting spray, it’s just a mist that you spray over your face to make your makeup stay. Also optional but it does work - Milani’s is good and affordable.

I can help more if you want more ideas @duchessofostergotlands!! But I hope this helps babe!!

So one of the down sides of growing up as a Millennial with a weird brain is there were no make up tutorials when I was growing up and the ridiculous number of influencers and articles on make up which are all probably just trying to sell me stuff is so overwhelming I just don't bother. So can someone who knows about make up tell me the honest answer to what I would actually need in a beginner's make up kit and any key things (like some stuff you're supposed to buy in a darker shade? or a lighter shade?)

Also some extra challenges I should mention for context: I have a notably square jaw, have never so much as plucked a single eyebrow hair because I don't understand how eyebrows and make up work, and I have the skin tone of a sickly Victorian orphan.

p.s.: my requests and tag lists are both open loves!

check out my other writing on my full m.list

Sebastian was doing a press interview for his new movie. It was his first on television interview. First time being back in the studio for The Late Late Show with James Corden. First time since you and him had gotten together. He was eager to see what James had in store for him.

He was wearing a bright yellow shirt paired with a red leather jacket. His legs were clad with a different pair that he wanted to wear originally because you couldn’t get quite enough of his thighs. Had he worn the other pair, there would’ve been a prominent wet spot on one leg where you rode him to your own satisfaction. The memory made him bite his lip and adjust his pants to try to quell his oncoming boner.

“Good luck out there tonight, lovey. You’re gonna crush it.” Your voicemail warmed Sebastian’s heart. He missed you a lot, but you were currently on your own press junket. Your new album finally came out and your manager had been running you ragged. Sebastian was so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, and he wasn’t afraid to show it.

“Hi, Mr. Stan. You’re needed on deck in five minutes.” He nodded at the assistant producer who stuck her head in his dressing room. Sebastian ran his hands through his hair one more time before deciding enough was enough.

“Well, this is as good as it's gonna get.” He murmured to himself as he walked out of the dressing room. He rolled his shoulders, snuggling into the leather jacket encasing his back. Sebastian took a swig of a water bottle from the table backstage. He still got nervous when doing interviews, always worried that he’s going to say the wrong thing.

“And now I would like to introduce our next guest. You’ve seen him as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the last ten years. He’s played the borderline psychotic Jeff Gillooly in I, Tonya, and the corrupt Sheriff Bodecker from The Devil All The Time. It is my pleasure to introduce the one, the only, Sebastian Stan!”

James stood, clapping as Sebastian made his way to the main set area. He raised his right hand, his left remaining on his stomach. As he approached James, Sebastian switched hands, his left coming up as an offer for James to shake. Afterwards, James held his hand out to the chair beside his desk, waiting for Sebastian to sit down.

“Hi, Sebastian! It’s so good to have you back.” James’ accent broke Sebastian’s name up into three distinct syllables, bringing a smile to Seb’s face.

“It’s good to be back, man.” He grinned big, waiting for James to ask the first question. Once they got into it, the interview went smoothly. Sebastian was able to avoid giving out spoilers for his new project, leaving just enough to the imagination. James was in a fit of laughter after Sebastian had told a crazy story from being on set. James wiped tears away from his lower lashline, calming down just enough to catch his breath.

“Okay, so I want to move onto something else.” Sebastian sobered up quickly, unsure of where James was taking the conversation. “We want all the juicy details about your relationship with Y/N.” Sebastian’s brow raised as he pulled a face at James’ question. He laughed to himself for a minute before answering.

“Ya know, we really have you to thank for that.” Sebastian pointed at James, before bringing that same finger to rub his eye.

“Really?” The man’s voice pitched up, brows hitting his hairline.

“Oh yeah. We were only introduced because of your show.” Sebastian leaned back in his chair, remembering that night with you. The two of you had gone out for drinks, talking for hours at the bar and then even longer in his hotel room. He remembered waking up with you wrapped up in his arms. You didn’t have sex that night, but you definitely did the second night.

And oh god, if  that second night wasn’t just as amazing as the first. The face you made whenever you climaxed danced it’s way to the forefront of Sebastian’s mind. Not good, definitely not good. He had to readjust himself in his pants again, crossing his legs to cover up his rather large problem.

“Yeah, we started dating that same week. Kept it quiet though.” Sebastian held his palm out in the air, bouncing it up and down.

“Right, right. And do you want to tell everyone how you did end up revealing that you and Y/N were an item?” Sebastian looked down at his lap, smirking to himself. “Or should we just play the clip?”

A clip played for the studio audience. It was Y/N doing her makeup for the Vogue Beauty Secrets Youtube video. Sebastian waltzed in the background of the shot. It then cuts to Sebastian kissing Y/N on the cheek, brandishing the hickey’s that she had sucked onto his cheek the night before. Mhm, I remember that night too.

Sebastian had surprised Y/N by coming to see her. He wasn’t doing anything and he missed you, so why waste a perfectly good opportunity. He spent the night there completely ravishing you until you begged him to stop. That night he proudly wore your thighs as earmuffs, burying his face in you. He really needed to stop reminiscing during an interview.

“How adorable. Was that planned at all? Or did you just do that because you could?” Sebastian shook his head, his right hand scratching at the stubble decorating his jaw.

“Oh, no. It definitely wasn’t planned. I honestly don’t remember if I knew Y/N was filming that morning, so I’m just glad I put on pants before I left the bedroom.” James laughed at Sebastian’s comment.

“Okay, so I’ve gotta ask your opinion on something though.” Sebastian made a hum of acknowledgement, signalling for James to continue. James leaned back, pulling out a cardstock of your new album. “So, this is Y/N’s new album, it just came out about three or four weeks ago?” The crowd clapped for you, and Sebastian cheered along with them.

“What do ya want my opinion on? If it’s the album, then I gotta tell ya, I loved it. Every single song on there is absolutely amazing.” James nodded, a smirk forming on his lips making Sebastian think he made a mistake.

“So you’re aware of the song Europe?” Sebastian smirked, nodding his head because he knew where this was going. “Would you like to tell us what that’s about?” James laughed as Sebastian stammered, looking for the right words. “I mean, let’s just read some of the lyrics.” James looked at the cards in his hands as Sebastian drifted into his thoughts again.

You had brought him into the studio before finalizing Europe. He remembers watching you twist your hands at your waist and continuously cracking your knuckles. Sebastian was curious because you hadn’t ever been like that when showing him a song before. Every question he had about your anxiety revolving around the song was thrown away when he heard it.

Europe was an ode to Sebastian, all of Sebastian. He couldn’t help pulling you down onto his lap by your waist as he listened. You were the only two in the studio, so the two of you were free to do whatever you wanted. The funny thing about that night was that there was a new track recording.

“Oh shit, Seb.” The dam broke afterwards, peels of laughter leaving your lips without explanation. Your right hand raised to your mouth, attempting (and failing) to quiet your giggles.

“Babe, why the ‘oh shit’?” You held up a finger to your lips, telling him to be quiet and listen. He strained his ears, waiting for his own ‘oh shit’ moment. Then, his own voice filtered into his ears, making him crease his brow in confusion. “What is that?”

“That’s the audio from when I first played you Europe.” Small giggles passed your lips again. “I was going to ask you if I could use, like, a sound byte from it for either the beginning or the end of the song.” Sebastian nodded, slightly amazed that you were so creative with your work. “But, I forgot to turn off the recording.” Sebastian’s eyes locked on your expression, waiting for him to connect the dots. He pulled a face and then,

“Oh shit.” His eyes widened, a huff of laughter escaping. “Wait, so it caught all of it?” Your lips rolled inwards, holding back laughs as you nodded your head. Sebastian raised a brow, his eyes flicking over your face. “Use it.” He had a few new hickeys after that night too, but not after decorating your body with a few of his own.

“Sebastian, I would like you to read a few lines from the song, please.” James handed Sebastian a card, a snort leaving Sebastian’s body involuntarily. He glanced at the cards, know the lyrics by heart already. He took a big breath, reading the lines that James chose. He threw him a look with his eyes, head tilting slightly toward the British man.

“Uh, okay, here we go.” Sebastian laughed to himself, blowing out a breath through clenched lips. He lifted the card again, “You know,” dropping his hand back to his lap while raising his other hand. “You know, she’s gonna make fun of me for this right?” James laughed, looking into the camera as if he was on The Office, then to the audience with a duh look on his face.

“Sebastian. We’re going to make fun of you.” The crowd didn’t hesitate to join in James’ amusement. Sebastian dropped his head into his hands, groaning loudly. “Do you need a little encouragement?” The audience began cheering and clapping for Sebastian.

“Fine, alright, alright.” He shook his head before starting. “Long nights with hickeys earned like a badge of honor. Teasing kisses, twisted sheets, all signs of true seduction.” Sebastian looked up from his hands, expecting James to say something. All James offered, though, was a wave of his hand for Sebastian to continue. “I never have to worry because all my sins are forgiven when I’m with you.” James held his hand up, stopping Sebastian from continuing.

“Okay, let’s dissect that, Mr. Stan.” James propped his elbow on his interview desk, placing his head at an angle in his palm. “What is this song about?” Sebastian’s lips curled inward, stopping himself from laughter.

“James,” Sebastian leaned forward against the arm of the couch. “I thought this was a family show.” The British man quirked a brow, sweeping both hands in front of his body gesturing to the studio.

“This is the Late Late Show, Sebastian.” He turned back to the audience, addressing them and the cameras. “And that is all the time we have tonight! Thank you to Sebastian for coming on the show with me tonight! And thank all of you for tuning in tonight. We’ll see you next time.” The producer beside the camera signaled that the show ended and Sebastian turned back to James.

“It’s a good song.” Sebastian smiled wide afterwards, saying his goodbyes to the crew. He was back in the safety of his dressing room when his phone started ringing.

“Hello?” He knew that it was you from the personally assigned ringtone you picked out when he wasn’t looking.

“The Internet is going to eat you alive.” Sebastian grinned as your peels of laughter trickled in through the speaker of his phone.

“Oh yeah, could you imagine if I told them that it wasn’t just random sounds at the end?” He could just imagine your smirk at his mention of your little addition to Europe.

“We’re gonna have to do that again.” Sebastian paused, waiting for you to explain. “Although I think next time we should do a visual along with the audio. You pickin’ up what I’m putting down Stan?” Sebastian smirked to himself, thinking about being able to watch himself bring you to the brink over and over again, even when you’re not together. His pants got tighter at the idea.

“I think we might have to look into that, Y/L/N.”

could u share ur everyday makeup routine? you always seem so cute and stylish !!

thank you🥺

I like to wash my face first with Dr jart microfoam cleanser bc it leaves a really smooth finish on my skin, then tone with laneige cream skin toner. I use a sponge or my fingers to put on the salt New York sneaky balm skin tint in the lightest shade. If I need more coverage in places I'll layer on the kosas revealer concealer in shade 1.5C.

right now I'm really into bronzing my forehead, I'll either use the glossier solar paint in shade flare and blend out with Milani silky matte bronzer in the lightest shade, or I'll use a nude/peach colored blush to bronze, which works well for me since I'm fair!! I either use Patrick Ta doubletake powder in "do we know her" or Milani cheek kiss cream in nude. I put my bronzer along my hairline, on my temples and down to the top of my cheekbone...

Then I add whatever blush I feel like, I have many lol. My favorite cream blushes are the salt new York creme tint pro, tower 28 beach please balm, melt cream blushlight and Milani cheek kiss. I usually go with a blush that is pink, berry, peach or nude/brown. I'm currently quite obsessed with a brownish nude blush mixed with a dusky pink, like a dirty ballet slipper pink, then a touch of blackberry/hot pink on the apples of my cheek. I mix and match a lot. I also always highlight the tip of my nose with salt new York's pearl highlighter, add faux freckles with original freck, and fill my eyebrows with the kosas brow pop pencil in taupe. I always fill my brows to appear a bit straight with a slight arch, and I don't make them thicker.

my favorite mascara rn is Maybelline Sky high, but I also like the Ilia volumizing mascara. I like to have big dark lashes, even on the bottom ones, and I especially load on mascara at the outer corner. For eyeliner I like a very fine wing just at the outer corner, sometimes so fine as to look more like a single false lash. the glossier pro tip is good but right now I love the freck lashrocket.

I currently love a nude/brownish lip liner with a pink, clear or rosy brown gloss. All day I just put on whatever lip gloss or balm that's in reach lol. I also love tower28 lip jellies and the girlactik jello balm (which smells like fresh laundry and grape soda).

Little details of my beauty routine I just want to mention: I love the mix of native aloe& green tea deodorant with Perfect by Marc Jacobs. I'm obsessed with claw clip updos, my favorite claws are from Chunks, but I also my scunci pink $3 one. I love natural hair makeup brushes bc they work sooo much better at picking up both powders and creams. my favorites are from Rephyr!! Thanks for asking, I find this fun to talk about and document💖

now that i’ve successfully binged the entire second season of bridgerton in the span of one night:

wow okay eloise and penelope’s subplots were incredibly boring lol. i feel like neither of them were developed at all as characters and basically ended the season pretty much the same way they started it.

i found eloise more entertaining than daphne last season but her constant obliviousness to how privileged she is and her acting like she’s the only woman who’s ever read a book got pretty grating. 

i think it was a missed opportunity to deepen her and daphne’s relationship or to give hyacinth more of a character. in general i feel like we saw even less of the siblings as a whole this season and i think it’s a shame not to focus on the family more. 

also i thought they would develop penelope’s sister beyond them being catty bullies but surprise surprise they didn’t change at all either. are we supposed to be at all invested in the featheringtons? bc i’m not lol i do not care what happens to these people.

i think simone ashley was trying her best with what she was given and i think kate and edwina were the most interesting characters in the season. all of their scenes together were very enjoyable and heartfelt and while i think they could have done more with edwina’s character, i liked their dynamic.

everyone already knows my opinions on that smug ferret anthony. nothing about him is sexy and in general i felt like this season was much more toned down and PG than the one before it. i also felt that the pacing in general was very very rushed. not sure why but it seemed like they were speedrunning all the plots at once. 

also they totally fucked up penelope’s hair and makeup. nicola coughlan is very pretty but they made her look about ten years older. what was going on there. did they think lightening the hair and eyebrows would make it seem more natural? why did they push her hairline back a whole inch? why did they stop using blush? 

the costumes in general sucked lol i liked maybe two outfits total. they weren’t great last year but they seemed more cohesive. not even talking about historical accuracy but just in terms of overall aesthetic/creativity. it seemed like they stopped putting in any effort at all with season 2. simone ashley is incredibly beautiful and they could have done way more with her outfits. 

all in all i think season 1 was a solid C and this was like a C-, D+ lol. i have zero interest in watching season 3, especially if kate is not prominent and if they’re not planning on bringing marina back anytime soon.

[plant-flwrs]

“I just don’t see the point in it,” you explained to Alicia, feeling her confused eyes pouring into the side of your face, “make’s me feel weird.”

“You just aren’t doing it right!” she replied, her eyebrows raised in disbelief.

You shoveled a forkful of eggs into your mouth, rolling your eyes as you chewed.

“Maybe,” you replied, covering your mouth full of food with the back of your hand.

“Hello ladies,” Fred said as he slid into the bench across from you.

“What’cha gabbing about?” George said, sliding a piece of toast off your plate as he sat next to you.

You moved to stab your fork into his hand, but missed, instead spiking the toast. Fred’s eyes widened, nearly seeing his brother lose a finger.

“Nice aim,” he said, filling his own plate.

“Was going for the hand,” you said, collecting the toast and lathering it with jam.

George wrapped his arm around your shoulder, unfazed by your attempted assault. 

“Y/n refuses to join us when we get ready for the Yule ball,” Alicia said, also ignoring your failed stabbing. 

Fred feigned a hand over his forehead, leaning back dramatically, “How will you ever form an unbreakable bond? Without the sanctity of Yule Ball preparations, you will have nothing that ties you together well past your prime,” he spouted, not stopping even after Alicia slapped his shoulder, “you will drift apart, knowing nothing of each other.”

George quickly removed his arm from your shoulder and dramatically clapped at his brother, who only pretended to remove and tip a hat to him.

“Why don’t you want to get ready with the girls?” George asked once Fred calmed down.

“I’ll come, I just don’t have much getting ready to do,” you said plainly, “just puttin’ on a dress.”

“Not even some mascara?” Alicia pleaded, her eyebrows raised to her hairline.

“I suppose I could let you put some mascara on me,” you said, and Alicia pretended to faint into Fred, “some!”

Fred laughed, and you got an eyeful of chewed toast in his mouth. You looked away in disgust, catching George’s eyes. He looked at you odd, like he was at incredible peace. 

“Everyone’s gone mad today,” you mumbled, finishing your breakfast.

You had written home about the Ball, and your mother had sent you an incredible array of magazines to choose a dress from. You had to admit, the dress was awfully pretty.

Going to Quidditch practice, doing homework, eating, sleeping, and keeping up with romance do’s and don’t’s was becoming exhausting. Luckily, you could merge some of the activities together, like homework and eating, and keeping up with romance and Quidditch.

Alicia and Katie loved to talk anything and everything that involved the Yule Ball. If you breathed and it sounded like ‘yule’ they would talk your ear off. Katie had even asked Wood about the ball.

“Well, Oliver,” she started, wiping off some sweat from her forehead, “if you don’t have a date you could join our group.”

You Alicia, Katie, George, and Lee had decided to go as a group, not bothering with the stress of getting dates. You all knew that no matter who you took, you’d just end up ditching them to dance with your friends. Fred and Angelina were a different story. 

Fred had been sending Angelina all sorts of mixed signals since he asked her. One day, he’s asking what color her dress is so they can match, and the next he’s telling her that in his opinion, dances are the most stupid thing a man could succumb himself to. It made you glad to be going with friends.

“I don’t know, Katie,” Oliver scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, “I was going to run Quidditch plays on the empty field that night.”

Katie rolled her eyes and they landed on you. You felt a blush creep up your neck as she brought you some water.

“Hey, Katie,” you said, taking the water from her.

“Hey,” she said, smiling quizzically at you, “Alicia told me you weren’t all that excited about the ball.”

This surprised you. You hadn’t meant to come off as bitter, you just felt you were expressing your genuine disinterest.

“It’s not that,” you said quickly, “It’s just, not really my thing I guess.”

Katie nodded knowingly at you, like you had just hinted at some sort of huge secret. It made you nervous. You two were stood by the water cooler, and Fred, George, and Harry had come over.

“What?” you asked her.

“I think,” she said dramatically, “that the boy you like hasn’t asked you, and you aren’t excited because you don’t have a date.”

You thought she was joking, but she didn’t laugh. You blinked at her for several minutes, the gears in your head turning so fast that you couldn’t think whether to be concerned for Katie’s well-being, or your own. Among your deep thoughts, Fred laughed obnoxiously. George swallowed nervously.

“Katie,” you said slowly, “are you serious? Do you actually think that?”

She nodded excitedly, thinking you were going to uncover your deepest and darkest secrets. 

“Oh Merlin,” your eyes widened, “you could not be more wrong.”

You left her with her mouth hanging open as you kicked off the ground and back into practice. 

The next week, McGonagall called the entire house for a meeting. She and Filch stood next to an ancient looking record player. She explained the sacred meanings of the Yule Ball, but all you could hear was Fred and George’s snickering in your ear.

“Do you think McGonagall would dance with me if I asked nicely?” one of them said.

“I reckon you’d have to take her to dinner first, mate, she’s a classy lady.” the other replied.

Soon enough, McGonagall was sending you off to pair with each other, and you looked around. George was already looking at you, so you took a step towards him.

“Dance with me,” you held your hand out, “Weasley.”

“I’d love to,” he said, taking your hand.

His hand fell naturally on your hip, and it made your chest tighten. Your hands eased into the crook of his neck, and he swallowed hard.

You swayed to the old music, neither of you meeting the other’s eye.

Your dress was sent to you in a large cardboard box that sat unopened in the corner of your dormitory. It was propped against your mirror, and stayed there until the night of the Yule Ball. 

“Oh!” Alicia exclaimed, clasping her hands together, “I can’t wait to see it!”

You rolled your eyes as you stepped into the bathroom, bringing the dress with you. You opened it slowly, and the delicate fabric of the dress was peaking out before you had even removed all the tape. It smelled of home, and your heart soared. The fabric danced through your fingers, sliding elegantly over your figure. Looking in the mirror, you slid your hands down your sides feeling awfully impressed by yourself. 

You looked at the mounds of makeup on the counter in front of you, and picked some up like they were dangerous. Holding them away from your dress, you squinted your eyes to read the tiny labels. Deciding on a few, you looked intensely into the mirror, your face creased with concentration. You covered the eye-bags you had developed while studying for tests. You put some pink powder on your cheeks like you had seen your mother do. Lengthening your lashes with some odd dark goo, and styling down your eyebrows with some odd clear goo.

When you opened the bathroom door, Alicia was still stood with her hands clasped. All the girls were standing in their elegant gowns, hair and makeup done absolutely perfectly. 

“Oh no,” Katie gasped, looking at you in horror.

The three of them all steered your shoulders back into the bathroom, and you looked at yourself next to them. You looked like a clown! The pink powder was in little circles on the sides of your faces, and nothing about your makeup looked as nice as the other girls. 

Katie saw your face lowering with sadness and brought your eyes to her’s.

“We can fix this,” she smiled reassuringly at you, “easy.”

She held her wand to your face, and you flinched as you felt a refreshing wind gust over it. Your face felt clean, and you moved your hands to touch it. You felt no pink powder or any goos.

Katie turned you to face Alicia, who had her wand ready.

“It really is a beautiful dress,” she said, her wand twirling as you felt little tickles on your face.

You turned to look in the mirror and felt your stomach spin.

You looked amazing, everything about the makeup was flattering, but not over the top. They had known exactly what you wanted.

You pulled them all into you, your arms stretching to wrap around them all. You all joyously walked down to the great hall, each of you clutching the sides of your dresses as you walked down the stairs. 

By the time you had made it to where you were meeting the boys, just in front of the Great Hall, you had fallen behind the girls, not used to walking in heals. They were all looking up at you as you came down.

Lee and Fred looked like they were seeing you for the first time, their mouths hung open in childish smiles, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia looked like proud stage mother’s. 

When your eyes met George, there was an intensity you had never felt before. Standing in front of him, still on the steps so you were eye level, it was like he was the only person there. His black and white dress robes fit him perfectly, and his red hair blazed as it hung in his face. His lips were pink and he kept licking them nervously. He offered you his elbow and you accepted, following your friends into the Ball. 

“You look stunning,” he whispered int your ear.

The music was loud and your dress was awkward to dance in. George leaned in close to your face whenever he had a sarcastic remark to make, and half the time you couldn’t make out what he was saying. Your brain was scrambled from the heat and the proximity of his face to yours.

“I’m gonna go get some air,” you yelled into his ear. 

Pulling away, he gripped your arms, pulling you back so he could yell something. His voice was like honey and it shot jolts down your spin.

“Want me to come with?”

You smiled and nodded your head, and he looked giddy,

He trailed after you like a puppy, careful not to step on the back of your dress.

You didn’t stop walking until you had landed on a bench in the courtyard. You held your dress close to you so George could sit without landing on it. He crossed his legs at his ankles and shoved his hands in his pockets. You picked up your hair off your hot skin, holding it as if it were a ponytail. George’s gaze fell onto the exposed and shiny skin of your back, and he gulped.

Your head tilted up at the sky, and you closed your eyes, relishing in the feeling of the cold breeze on your sweaty skin.

“Are you having fun?” George asked you.

“With you?”

“Yeah, with me.”

“I am,” you responded, dropping your hair and looking at him.

He was already looking at you, like he so often was, and as you watched his eyes drift down to your lips, you realized Katie was right.

You didn’t want anything to do with this ball if George wasn’t with you, hell you didn’t want anything to do with life if George wasn’t with you. 

You were being a sour-sport because deep down, you knew you had wanted George to ask you to the ball.

“George?” you said, and his eyes didn’t leave your lips.

“Yeah?”

“Why didn’t you ask me to the ball?”

At this, George’s eyes met yours and he wiped his face, as if he were in a dream and imagined you had said that.

“What?”

“Why didn’t you ask me?”

“I hadn’t realized,” he turned to look at his feet, “I just figured, you never seemed like you were that excited.”

“But you wanted to come with me?”

“Yes,” he answered quickly, not having to think about it.

“George,” you asked, and he turned to face you, “do you want to go to the Yule Ball with me?”

Both of your mouths turned into wicked grins, and he nodded furiously. He stood up quickly and offered you his hand.

- Is it still lagging? It is? If it keeps lagging like this, let me tell you- I’m gonna go crazy.

- No one’s asking why I came to stream looking like this??? Ridiculous! - I’ve been filming- I was in the B group, but have been switched to the A group. There are still five more scenes to film before they get to me, and I calculated that they’d get to me around 12a; so I decided to come back to the hotel, but later when they call me I gotta go back and film.

- I came because I thought you all were missing me- I don’t know if it’s true, but that’s what I choose to believe. Everyone already knows my schedule- even better than I do! After filming yesterday, we wrapped up pretty early- around 7p- and I was thinking of streaming, but the group asked me if I’d like to go out for dinner, so I did. - Comment: Did you digest it? - You think I would be so worried about not streaming that I can’t eat? No. Food’s food.

- Comment: You gotta make the most out of your hair and makeup? [t/n: bc sometimes LYN streams after doing another event, and he always says he can’t let the hair/makeup go to waste XD] - LYN: I actually was worried whether or not I can show you, but since we officially started filming the other day, I figure you all saw what you could see. [King of Light in Zichuan; LYN out here in full hair, makeup, and costume. (c)]

- I don’t get hung up on if I look cool or not, for filming. I just think the appearance needs to fit the role. If I wanted to look cool, I could always do it for an event or something. For filming, you’re there to support the work, not to look cool.

- Comment: Do you need to ride any horses for this one? - LYN: /sigh/ Do I need to ride a horse? Please think about it- what is the main method of transportation in historical dramas? Automobile? High speed train? It’s gonna be a horse. Or a horse-drawn carriage. Maybe a donkey. - LYN: My role makes medicines. Maybe I can get away with riding in the carriage. - Comment: Qing Gong (flying) - LYN: This production doesn’t seem to fit that criteria.

- Comment: This hairline... - LYN: What do you mean? What’s wrong with my hairline? This is a wig, it’s not my own hair! I told you all the last time, my hairline is here /gestures to the middle of his forehead, right above his eyebrows/

- Comment: You’re usually very mean! - LYN: Am I usually very mean? ... Who doesn’t have a temper, right? No, but why would you say that? Please tell me. Just so that I’m aware and I can adjust myself for the next time. Why do you think I’m mean? - LYN: Here’s how it is.. I’m not a... I don’t LOOK cute. I have mono-lids, small eyes. I’m pretty tall. Normally, when I’m not smiling, maybe people can get the impression that I’m not happy. It’s not that I’m unhappy, but I can’t go around smiling all the time! - LYN: Another thing is, when I’m on set- I know there are a lot of people there to... spectate. That’s your own freedom, but I think mutual understanding is needed. For example, I’m saying my line to my scene partner- I say my line- and right behind them I see ten people all looking at me. In that moment I lose all focus. It affects my acting, you know? So sometimes I could be unhappy about this- because it’s affecting my (and other’s) work.

[talks about uh.. paparazzi.]

- Comment: Do you have a CP in this drama? - LYN: Go read the novel.

[talking about his concert plans for next year]!

- LYN: The vinyls are being made. They weren’t released earlier because I wasn’t satisfied with the packaging. But they’re being made now!  Here’s how it works. If you NEED one to leave as a collectible, you should buy one. - Comment: Can I buy two? - LYN: Of course. What I was thinking was- the music- you’ve all heard it. It’s from my first album, so you’ve heard it a lot- and you can listen to it online as well- all my music is free. You’ve heard all the songs, but I just wanted to make the record because it’s meaningful to me. My very first album. If you need one buy one, but if you don’t need it, don’t sweat it. - Comment: What’s it made of? - LYN: What’s it made of????? - Comment: Are they signed? - LYN: Not as of yet. What I can promise you is this- if you buy it, and one day you see me on the street. Take out the vinyl and I will sign it for you. - Comment: I’ll never meet you. - LYN: One day, eventually, you will.

- Comment: I’ve always wanted to watch Liu-laoshi stream. I finally caught one. - LYN: No need to call me laoshi. Just call me “Xiao Ning.” If you’re younger than me call me “Ning-ge” and if you’re older call me “Xiao Ning.” There’s no need to be so polite. - LYN: Xiao Ning-ge is fine. We’re all around the same age. You all can’t be too much older or younger than I am.  - Comment: Uncle Liu. - LYN: That’s ok, fine. I don’t care. - LYN: There are always some people who watch my stream that are TOO polite. Ah.. you don’t need to be! Just call me “Ning-ge” and anything else... like “father” no- I don’t need that! No need to be that polite, I can’t uphold it. I’m definitely not as great as your parents, ok? Please cherish the family you have.

- Comment: You’re on the trending list - LYN: I am?  - Comment: Really - LYN: How come I don’t believe you? Please don’t trick me. /some time passes/ - LYN: Let me check. ... :( I’m 54. It doesn’t count as trending until I’m at least at 50.

- LYN: Just letting you know, I need to leave in 25 minutes to go back to filming. - Comment(s): Go. | Bye bye. | etc. - LYN: I’m leaving in 25 minutes! We still have time. Sit down, have a cup of tea.

- Comment: Go to film. I’m gonna climb the wall* [t/n: *”climb the wall” if i remember correctly, means they’re gonna leave the fandom lol] - LYN: Why? Why do you want to do that? /puts on sad music/ - LYN: You know, as... as someone who only debuted at 30 years old, it’s really not easy. I always have this fear- this fear that my fans only like younger people. I’m afraid to face the reality of fans “climbing the wall” (leaving) because... I feel like that’s the end for me. - LYN: Actually three years ago, when I first got popular, I really had a lot of fans. At the time they said they would be with me forever, that they would never leave me. But when I look back now, they’re all gone. At this point I’m used to it- but still if someone says they’ll leave I still feel a sting. I’m still someone who fears loss. So please, my friends, don’t climb the wall. - LYN: If one day you do leave me, don’t tell me. Just go quietly. Don’t even say goodbye.

- Comment: How about a song? - LYN: Oh, that’s right! Wearing this wig, I almost forgot I was a singer!

- Comment: Jiang Zhen De. - LYN: This song... people who come up to me and say “Oh, I really like you. Your song “Jiang Zhen De!” I feel these people don’t really know me, they’re not my real fans. I’ve released so many songs and you still only think of that one? - Comment: Pao Ma - LYN: It’s called “Zou Ma.”  - LYN: Then why don’t I sing “Zou Ni” for everyone? Do you want to hear it? [t/n: referencing his 5/29 stream, lol]

- LYN: Someone wants to see (Daimi)*, my dog. Go buy a dog look at for yourself. What do you want to see my dog for? You want to know what it feels like? You’re at work right? It’s like if your coworker went and asked you “Hey, can I go to your house and see your money?” Would you show them??? [t/n: guessing at the spelling here, not sure if it’s correct.. probably? 呆米?]

- Comment: Do you like cats? - LYN: I like to look at them, but I can’t raise one. I like those ones that look like they’ve been punched- they’re pretty cute. [LOL; the flat-flaced ones: persian, munchkin, himalayan, etc] I’m the type of person who- I don’t know if you’ll understand me, but- I can’t stand to raise something that ignores me. My impression of cats is that you feed them, clean up after them and everything, but when you call them- they don’t come. I wouldn’t be able to take it. But with a dog, they’ll come flying over as soon as you call them. And happily too!

Bad Hollywood Wigs

So, all of them I guess.

This was a request from @keeloves​ and I feel like a couple other anons a while ago and I haven’t done a post like this in a long time so why not!

Let me preface this by saying that, culturally, hair is important to Black people. It’s important me, and I think, taking care of my hair is a cultural tether to my ancestors as much as it is a major part of my identity. So that being said, I think it’s...bafflingly egregious that major networks and studios that have millions to bang out CG saturated movies and/or shows, but can’t spend like....$200 on a good wig, for anybody but ESPECIALLY Black people is....remarkably perplexing, but I guess since so many Black actors and models have had to do their own makeup on set and come with their hair done, we can, as usual chalk this up to more antiblackness. Anyway. Here is, my list of bad wigs from some characters and shows I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with, as well as, some good ones for contrast. I’ll keep it short bc I think it’s easy to get the point across.

Bonnie.  I had to start here tbh.  A CLOSURE? In 2009?! I feel so utterly disrespected by this entire situation. A closure, on top of her new growth. And in THIS outfit? Everything about this is offensive. Bonnie deserved better. 

What in the half-wig hell. She looks exactly like how I used to do my own hair when I was 17, with a $60 budget. ON A MAJOR NETWORK? Someone should have been fired. 

Girl.

Michonne. No but honestly, what the fuck. Danai Gurira is too beautiful for this level of disrespectful uglification. A FULL CAP WIG ON AMC IN 2019?!  NOT. EVEN. LACE?!

Meanwhile Black women, can create this, a REAL WIG. 

Sasha vs. Michael Burnham Speaking of walking dead. I can’t believe they did better by Sonequa letting her wear her natural hair, vs. the monstrosity star trek subjected us to for 2 seasons (her season 3 wig is also terrible but can’t find good photos rn. 

And they even had the AUDACITY to gel this helmet with no part down. This is a hairstyle I expect to see from an ashy male blerd at comic con who is kinda growing out his perm. Not on a beautiful woman like Sonequa.

THIS is what she deserved. 

Mehcad Brooks as whatever this character was.  What a sin. 

MEANWHILE //REGULAR// BARBERS ARE DOING THIS?? Come on. 

Elena You know, the nerve to not even pluck this hairline. 

girls on IG have better wigs bitch. 

The nerve of colonizers to take this thing right outta the box, DYE it this despicable colour and AGAIN not pluck the hairline OR CUT THE FUCKING HAIR TO FRAME HER FACE!?!? Whew Satan is at work with this thing. 

Again, girls on IG are EATING HOLLYWOOD UP WITH WIGS. 

I feel like if we just started giving local hairdressers these big contracts to slay people’s wigs on set, we’d have such a different experience lmao. 

[unironicduncanstan]

Lindsay being a trans woman? Interesting, could we see some headcanons of her please?

eEEE sure thank you for asking this is one of my fav hcs;;;

i always imagine her and her family as kind of wealthy and eccentric+open minded? i think at first they might presume the stereotypical ‘aw its just a phase’ until they realize, no lindsay is most definitely a girl, so i think puberty blockers/hrt and even surgery as a teen (if shes ready) wouldnt be a biggie. like if they were told shes too young, theyd just take her somewhere else. pack your bags girls we’re taking a vacay in sweden we’re rich remember

she def looked up to her sisters and realized how she related to them and took a big interest in makeup and fashion, which they helped her learn and experiment with. her mom taught them all everything they know though, so shes a big role model for her as well. she sees makeup and fashion as not just a thing to combat dysphoria, but a hobby and something shes skilled at!

lindsays comfortable with the other girls but i feel like beth and tyler would be the only people to know for the first season, she might come out to more people later on though. chris knows for like contestant bio reasons but doesnt say shit bc ik most ppl think he has no boundaries but realistically well the last time there was a trans person outed on a reality tv show (survivor) it did not end well,

this is such a niche one but she uses the bandana to hide her hairline!! even if its subtle some ppl are very dysphoric about hair and hrt can only alter the appearance a little bit. its probably also to hide her roots bc i think its canon she bleaches it? and imo that would make sense, theres sort of this social association with lighter hair = feminine and darker hair = masculine,,, in fact its actually why i dye my hair black lmaO

also sorry to be so ridiculously fake deep here but the whole thing abt wanting the sunset sally bike so bad as a kid and never getting one... perhaps a metaphor for the time it might have taken trying to gain parental acceptance of her femininity,,,,,, the poetic cinema. . .👌🏻
