Master list

“Love.”

“Hmmm?” 

“Would you mind giving me a hand here please?” John struggled as he tried to lift his injured arm to trim his beard. 

You sighed. “I am only good with surgical knives and scissors.” You took the trimmer off his hand and gently pushed his arm down. “Why not go to a barber?” 

“.... I am not quite comfortable with someone holding a blade to my neck.” 

“And you are comfortable with ME doing it?” you cocked an eyebrow. 

He hummed. “That’s because you are my wife. I trust you with all my life.” he pressed a kiss into your forehead. Wrapping his good arm around you as you sink into his embrace. 

“Well I am flattered by the great Captain Price trusting me with a knife to his throat.” you giggled, “But I really wouldn’t trust myself to trim my own dead ends off, let alone take a risk of destroying your luscious mutton chop.” You could almost feel him rolling his eyes as he mumbled something incoherent.

“How about one of the boys helping you?”

“I don’t trust them either.” he rumbled. “I trust them with my life.. But I wouldn’t trust them NOT destroying my beard. I already heard them plotting to shave my beard off in my sleep a few times.” 

You couldn't help but laugh. “ Well… We gotta think of something. Can’t let you leave your hair and beard go until your arms heal….” 

The strong leathery, lavender and cedarwood, faint hint of cigar smell hits you as soon as the two of you walk into the shop. The old radio playing some jazz music in the background, the old barber sitting on the wooden stool, reading the newspaper. It brings you distant memories. One of those rare happier moments when you were younger…. 

John finally agreed after a bit of coaxing from you to get his hair and beard done by the professional instead of you trying your luck. 

“I will go with you, how about that? And maybe I can learn a few tricks and tips from the professional?” you suggested. 

The barber waved to your husband to sit down on the chair after you explained to him what needs to be done. He was more than happy to teach you how to help John to maintain his pride and joy. 

Price couldn’t hold back his smile as he saw how focused and concentrated you are, pouting and wrinkling your nose as you listened to the barber explaining each step and how to use the tools. It helps to distract him from some strangers working so closely to him with sharp apparatus. The barber even handed over the scissors a few times for you to try out. 

“Stop moving, you are laughing too much.” you mumbled as you tried to trim the extra long strains around the edge of his jaw. “I don’t think you want me to accidentally take a chunk out of your beard, and have the boys laugh at you at work.” “I could always shave all my beard off.” “Oh so you changed your mind? You're definitely going to give them a heart attack and give me a heart break if you do that. So…  Never.” you laughed as you handed the scissors back to the barber. 

“You get to see Lieutenant John Price?” 

“As much as you were a handsome young man back then,I would rather keep that memory in the photos.” You pointed out as you sat back down, letting the professional get back to work. 

You observe your husband’s side profile with a faint smile on your face as the barber finishes off the rest of the trimming and hair cut. Even after years of marriage, you still have a hard time believing, this handsome man is your husband. 

The moment you set your eyes on him, you didn’t think you had much of a chance. The ranks, the personality, the background…. Everything. 

But he chose you. 

“I choose you? I should be thankful you chose me, my love.” he whispered into your ear one night after you confessed your insecurity. Nuzzling his face into your neck. “For bearing my temper…my imperfections.” 

“What do you think?” he looked at your eyes through the mirror as the barber dust the rest of the beard and hair off his shoulder, seeking for approval. 

Moving yourself to stand in front of him, you gently lay your hand on his face, tilting it to the left, and to the right, and finally, giving him a kiss on the lip, enjoying the smell of the aftershave.

“Handsome. And the best mutton chop I have ever seen.”

“You sound like you have seen quite a few in your life.” he chuckled as thank and paid the barber for his service.

“Maybe, maybe not.” you teased him as you wrap your arm around him. “But it’s definitely the mutton chop that always gives me a good time.” you could see his cheek redden under the beard. “Now, it’s not so scary is it? Having someone else to trim your beard for you.” 

“If you come with me again next time.” he squeezed your hand fondly.

“Gladly.”

“Oh what, you mean we missed out a chance of trying to shave his beard off?” “And You will get your mohawk shaved off too if you do that, MacTavish.” 

Thank you @glitterypirateduck for hosting another wonderful event!!!! *hug*

Okay shit, now I'm invested in this whole low-effort-nice-curly-hair thing, SO!

I have thin, sparse hair that I've repeatedly ruined for years by dyeing it red. Then the pandemic hit and I've let it grow. It's now mostly my natural color with the lower quarter an off-reddish-gold, which is also the part that holds the curl best. I put it in a twisty bun before bed and in the morning brush it out and it holds almost the entire day. This is as low-effort as I think is possible.

So, the tools you'll need:

1. Stretchy headband

2. Claw clip

3. (Optional) Decent hairspray

Steps:

1. Pile your hair on top of your head loosely and hold it with a claw clip.

2. Shower with steam before bed. Heat+water males the hair pliant.

3. Brush it out, gather at the nape of your neck, twist it like a rag you're wringing out, make a bun, and then twist the remaining length around the base.

4. Tie with a headband securely.

5. Sleep. Or at least lie down for 6-8 hours. You'll end up with this:

6. Take the headband out and brush out with your fingers.

7. Optional: spritz some no-residue hairspray and enjoy your curls.

It seems like a lot of steps at first but it doesn't take a full minute on either end after like, the third try.

Better yet, if you twist it the same way every day your hair holds the curl longer.

Hope it helps!

Those look absolutely gorgeous, professionally made, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do that to achieve natural-looking curly hair to hair that's too short to get on a ponytail. Like barely-covers-your-ears length men's haircut length.

4 Steps to Glow Up

(from someone who's not there yet)

These are the main factors I personally think can solve most of your problems. I don't think anyone is truly "ugly," but if you put effort into your appearance and health, it will boost your confidence and enhance your natural beauty.

PLEASE NOTE: These ideas also revolve around being healthy because humans are biologically inclined to find health to be most attractive. Therefore, a healthy body is a pretty body. There are 4 simple categories to self care that will allow anyone to be their best. That being said, each category can be as complex and specific as you need it to be. It all depends on how far you're willing to go and at what point you feel good about yourself.

Basically, if you're looking to Glow Up, these 4 things should be your focus.

1) Hygiene

Probably the most important factor. This includes a proper skincare and shower routine, as well as oral care and nail care. Acne, bad teeth, bitten nails, and body odor seriously affect your overall appearance. Instead of looking to cover up bad hygiene with makeup and perfume, it's healthier and more effective to solve these issues directly. Hygiene is a good place to start.

2) Diet

Changing what you do to your insides has a huge effect on your outsides. Limiting sugar and oily foods, taking vitamins, eating more vegetables, a healthier diet can help to clear up acne or bloating. It can improve the health of your skin, hair, and nails. And, of course, weight loss is another benefit that will seriously impact appearance and self-esteem. Eating healthy contributes not only to how you look but how you feel, too. And for goodness sake, drink your water! I know you've heard it countless times, but seriously! Do it!

3) Haircut

Now, we're moving away from the realm of health and looking more at the physical. All I can say is, do your research. Find out your face shape and hair texture, and find a haircut that suits your features best. Some haircuts look great on one person and bad on another. Learn how to style your hair, what shampoo and products to use. Get it cut, or learn to cut it yourself. Even if you're growing it out, it you need to get it trimmed to stay healthy. If you want to dye it, I seriously recommend going to a professional. But don't think you HAVE to dye your hair. Do it to express yourself, complement your features, and fit your style. But your natural color is not "ugly."

4) Makeup

Like with a haircut, learn more about your features and skintone, and find what works for you. Learn to use makeup as a tool, but don't use it as a crutch. You shouldn't have to hide behind it. Like I keep saying, you're already beautiful, so highlight your best features. Use colors and shades that suit you. Some people can go bold, while others look best with a more subtle look. That being said, makeup is an art form, so have fun with it.

A fandom friend on here has chided me to make this a youtube playlist so I'm working on that. Without doxxing myself, I used to work something to do with music professionally so you may be surprised to find these songs are okay. Still much like Obata used to be pretty seriously concerned he'd be forever cursed for drawing the shinigami - I'm afraid I'll be eternally cursed for drawing inspiration from talented artists to work on any part of my silly fanfiction.

National Hair Day

Maybe every day can’t be a good hair day but in celebration of National Hair Day, this one certainly can be. Join in and get ready to learn and appreciate everything fun and exciting that has to do with hair!

History of National Hair Day

Hair has been the crowning glory of the human head perhaps since the very beginning of time! In fact, researchers think the comb was used by ancient Egyptians as far back as 5500 BC. The hairbrush took a bit longer to come out though, and the Kent Hairbrush Company is recorded as having started in 1777 in Hertfordshire, England.

While wealthy people have been having their hair done for centuries, early on this was typically done either by a family member or perhaps by a personal servant.

By the mid-1700s, however, the first person to have declared himself a ‘professional’ hairdresser in Europe was Legros de Rumigny who worked for the French court. In fact, he wrote a book on hairdressing that included pictures of the unique hairstyles that he had designed. The book was called Art de la Coiffure des Dames, which can be translated to The Art of Hairstyles for Ladies.

National Hair Day is a bit newer on the scene and is just beginning to develop its own history. Founded in 2017 by NuMe, a hair care company, this day is all about celebrating the styling tools and hair care products that help to make each person’s hair as beautiful as possible.

Whether hair is straight, wavy, curly or kinky, there are a myriad of different products and tools that can help to enhance the natural texture of hair while making it look its very best. And National Hair Day is the best time for it!

How to Celebrate National Hair Day

Wondering how to celebrate and enjoy this delightful day? There are all kinds of ways! Get creative on your own, or try out some of these ideas that can be enjoyed in honor of National Hair Day:

Get a Haircut

Make an appointment at the barber or hair salon in honor of National Hair Day! Get that new ‘do that you’ve been thinking about, whether chopping it short, going for layers, adding bangs or fringe, or turning into a platinum blonde inspired by Marilyn Monroe. Don’t be afraid to go for the full shampoo, cut, color and style. The sky’s the limit when it comes to what kind of fun that can be had on National Hair Day.

Consider a New Hairstyle

Of course, National Hair Day doesn’t mean it’s necessary to go to extremes. Even those who aren’t ready for a new cut or color might be able to play around with their hair a bit on this day. Maybe start by making the part of your hair on the other side!

This is also a great time to learn a new skill that is related to hair styling. Perhaps that might be learning how to make a regular braid, a French braid or a Fishtail Braid. YouTube and other online videos can act as an excellent resource for learning with easy, step by step tutorials on how to create a new hairstyle.

Try Out Some New Hair Care Products

National Hair Day is the ideal time to pop into the beauty supply store and find out what’s new in the world of hair care products and styling tools. Perhaps pick up a new brand of mousse or heat protectant spray. Try out a new curling iron, blow dryer or hair straightener. Or even consider getting a fun new color for hair, whether temporary or permanent.

Buy a New Hairbrush

Some hairstylists say that a typical person needs to replace their hairbrush every six months to a year. Of course, this depends on how often it is used, how much product the person uses, how long their hair is and even how often they clean their hair brushes.

It’s also possible that some people have simply been using the wrong kind of hairbrush for their particular type of hair. Those who are in the market for a new hairbrush might want to consider one of these styles in celebration of National Hair Day:

Curly Hair. Many people say that curly hair should never be brushed, but if it’s necessary for detangling, then use a special cushion brush that has nylon bristles to keep the curls from getting frizzy and knotted.

Frizzy Hair. This is a complicated hair type and the best type of hair brush will tame that frizz and keep it in place. Try using a hairbrush that has bristles made of boar. The natural bristles help to distribute the hair oils more evenly throughout the hair.

Blow-Dry Brushes. People who blow dry their hair on a regular basis need special tools to keep their hair happy and healthy. The best type for blow drying are brushes that are made from ceramic and have ionic properties that repel water to shorten the drying time and keep the hair from getting overly damaged.

Teasing Brush. Looking for more volume? A special boar’s hair and nylon teaching brush gets close to the scalp to get that hair high. Choose one that has a pointed handle which can be used for creating parts or separating strands of hair.

Enjoy Some New Hair Accessories

Pop into an accessory shop or department store and check out what’s on offer these days for hair accessories. Ribbons, ponytail holders, barrettes, clips and so many other delightful products provide tons of different options for wearing the hair in unique ways. Try securing a ponytail in the back, a braid, two buns on the sides, or even a popular banana clip to hold the hair back from the face.

Little girls can get away with a brand new hair bow in honor of National Hair Day! Something colorful like Jojo’s Bows would be a fun and delightful addition to a hairstyle today, keeping things snazzy.

How do I choose my haircut style?

Choosing a hair cutting style involves considering various factors, including your face shape, hair type, lifestyle, personal preferences, and current trends. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you choose a haircut style that suits you:

Assess Your Face Shape

Determine your face shape (round, oval, square, heart, long, diamond, triangular) to identify styles that are known to flatter your features.

Consider Hair Texture

Your hair's natural texture (straight, wavy, curly, coily) plays a role in how a haircut will look. Some styles work better with certain textures.

Think About Lifestyle

Consider how much time you're willing to spend styling your hair each day. Choose a style that aligns with your routine and preferences.

Research and Gather Inspiration

Look for inspiration from magazines, social media, and online resources. Save pictures of haircuts you like to show your stylist.

Consult with a Professional Stylist

A professional stylist can provide expert advice based on your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. They can also offer insights into how a certain style might look on you.

Consider Maintenance

Think about how often you're willing to visit the salon for trims and upkeep. Some styles require more frequent maintenance than others.

Think About Color

If you're considering a new hair color along with your haircut, ensure that the color complements your skin tone and overall style.

Try Virtual Makeover Tools

Some websites and apps offer virtual makeover tools that allow you to try on different haircuts virtually before making a decision.

Grooming for Different Breeds: Tailoring Services to Your Dog's Needs

Grooming isn't just аbоut keeping уоur dog looking great; it's аn essential aspect оf thеіr overall health аnd well-being. Different dog breeds соmе wіth distinct coat types, lengths, аnd textures, whісh means thаt thеіr grooming needs саn vary significantly. Understanding аnd addressing thеѕе unique needs іѕ key tо keeping уоur furry friend comfortable, healthy, аnd happy.

Thе Coat Dictates Thе Grooming: Onе оf thе mоѕt important factors tо consider whеn grooming уоur dog іѕ thеіr coat type. Different breeds саn hаvе lоng, short, wiry, curly, оr double coats, еасh requiring specific attention. Breeds like thе Poodle оr Bichon Frise оftеn hаvе hair thаt grows continuously, muсh like human hair, whісh means regular haircuts аrе necessary tо prevent matting аnd discomfort. On thе оthеr hаnd, breeds like thе Golden Retriever оr Labrador hаvе a double coat thаt sheds seasonally, requiring thorough brushing durіng thеѕе tіmеѕ tо minimize shedding.

Grooming Frequency: Thе frequency оf grooming appointments саn vary greatly depending оn thе breed. Whіlе ѕоmе dogs mау need a grooming session еvеrу 4-6 weeks, оthеrѕ саn gо fоr a fеw months bеtwееn appointments. Breeds wіth fast-growing hair оr prone tо matting require mоrе frequent visits tо maintain a healthy coat. Yоur groomer саn recommend a grooming schedule tailored tо уоur dog's specific needs.

Breed-Specific Styles: Certain breeds hаvе signature grooming styles thаt hаvе bесоmе раrt оf thеіr identity. Fоr example, thе distinctive lion cut fоr Poodles, thе sleek "show cut" fоr Afghan Hounds, оr thе adorable teddy bear cut fоr Shih Tzus. Thеѕе styles nоt оnlу reflect thе breed's history but аlѕо serve practical purposes. Thе styles аrе оftеn designed tо kеер thе dog cool, prevent matting, оr protect thеm frоm thе elements.

Managing Coat Health: Regular grooming іѕ аbоut mоrе thаn just appearances; it's аbоut maintaining thе health оf уоur dog's coat аnd skin. Brushing nоt оnlу prevents matting but аlѕо distributes natural oils, keeping thе coat shiny аnd skin healthy. Breeds wіth skin folds, ѕuсh аѕ Bulldogs оr Pugs, need extra attention tо ensure thеѕе areas remain clean аnd free frоm infection.

Addressing Breed-Specific Concerns: Different breeds соmе wіth different skin sensitivities, ear shapes, аnd dental needs. Sоmе dogs аrе prone tо ear infections duе tо thеіr floppy ears, whіlе оthеrѕ mіght need thеіr teeth brushed mоrе оftеn tо prevent dental issues.

Nervous dogs mіght need a gentler touch, whіlе energetic pups mау need breaks durіng thе session. Thе goal іѕ tо make thе grooming experience аѕ stress-free аnd enjoyable аѕ possible.

Thе Importance Оf Professional Grooming: Whіlе basic grooming tasks like brushing ��аn bе dоnе аt home, professional groomers bring a level оf expertise thаt ensures уоur dog's safety аnd well-being.

In conclusion, grooming isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Tailoring grooming services tо уоur dog's breed аnd individual needs іѕ essential fоr maintaining thеіr overall health аnd happiness. Whеthеr it's understanding coat types, managing skin sensitivities, оr creating a unique style thаt complements уоur dog's breed, a knowledgeable groomer plays a vital role іn ensuring уоur furry companion looks аnd feels thеіr best.

San and Ashitaka Build

This pile (well, there's other stuff mixed in there) is in fact the San and Ashitaka costumes I built earlier this year. I tried to do a vaguely historical approach to shapes and materials since the film is also vaguely historical, but I used modern sewing because I barely know how to sew in general. This is also why I started with the bow.

To make a fake bow, for some reason I didn't like the usual PVC option, so I decided to make a long noodle out of EVA foam, carve it into shape with a craft knife, then add exaggerated wood texture with a wood burning tool. That then got covered in Worbla and painted with several layers of acrylic + a leather strap glued for a hand grip. The bow's 'string' is just thick elastic cord.

Arrows are dowel rods cut to length with EVA foam points at one end and foam fletching at the other. I accidentally made all his arrows the samurai's arrows (oops) and have no idea why I felt the need to not use real feathers. The quiver is just a muslin bag, pretty boring lol.

His sword is balsa wood and a napkin ring all glued together then covered in Worbla (featured here by another costume's progress). The blade and ring got spray painted metallic, the handle got a leather wrap like the bow. The sheath is just a foam box wrapped in fake suede, not really worth an action shot.

Ashitaka's (happi? haori? not really sure) took two attempts and still doesn't quite fit, oops. I dyed the fabric to a shade I liked, then used a YT tutorial on making the coat. His pants were bought online, and I made a lil pouch for his mysterious dried rations.

I fully just kind of made the sleeve happen; sketched a shape, cut it out, then continued adding scraps until I got something that fit okay.

Delicious bowl cut...his wig was a struggle, since I needed it to be rough and basic but not Lord Faarquad. It came out okay, but it truly is giving home haircut from the 80s.

Let's switch to San! Most of her clothes were bought, and I made the accessories. So this giant pile of fur will turn into a separated cape and hood. You may notice two tones of color there: I chose a longer Mongolian fur for the outside and a shorter Sherpa for the inside, because no one likes to see the raw inside of fake fur. There are curtain weights sewn into the paw shapes and front drapes of cape and hood to help them not fall back.

For most of San, I used Kinpatsu Cosplay's patterns as the base, and adjusted them to be slightly more masculine (and a lot longer) to fit my San. The apron was made of linen and hemmed so the outer edges can fray over time. We'll get to weathering in a minute (I did not take many WIP pics during making all of this).

I made the mask really round and the eyes slightly farther apart to up the uncanniness of it. The mask and ears got base coated in black matte acrylic, then color slowly added using sea sponge.

The dagger was made of a mix of foam and balsa wood that got glued together, then covered in Worbla. I spent way too long staring at the movie to decide the arrow shapes on the blade were raised rather than recessed. The blade got spray painted metallic, the arrows hand painted red, the pommel spray painted black. The handle got a leather strap wrap.

Her necklace was a mix of wood and stone beads, and three toofs made of some very crusty foam clay I had sitting around. They got formed and dried around paintbrushes to make the stringing hole, sanded, then painted with acrylic to get that old tooth look. San's wig was basically used out of the bag, and her accessories were just foam wrapped in fabric with shell beads glued on.

Weathering, the second most fun part of this build! I used a mix of dry brushing on acrylic paint in various brown and tan tones, spraying/splattering with a strong black tea, and using an airbrush to add dirt and wear to everything. A lot of edges and corners also got sanded to soften them and look less crisp and new.

And then we got fancy professional photos! If you're in Texas, check if Wild Momo Photography is heading to your con. She's fantastic, truly. Hope you enjoyed reading through this journey, and it's potentially helpful if you're building your own cursed prince and wolf girl.
