thoughts on doing bkgs makeup for fun 🎤 🎤 🎤

did a little bit of this here, but to continue:

(edit: if u want this turned into a hc list for easier reading access just lmk!)

I think it's one of those thing bakugo acts all grumpy about (which... when does he not?) but is actually totally cool with. his masculinity isn't fragile at all, so having a little makeup session is fine if it means a free "face massage" (thats what he calls it) and some time with you.

i also think he gets weirdly into it. like after all the half-swearing and grumbling, he settles down all nice and closes his eyes for the most part. definitely peaks when he hears new things being opened so he knows what colors you're using on him (and can point out shades he thinks are "better," aka: LIKES).

"you like the shade?" + "whatever. either way i'll look like a traffic cone. do more red."

ANYWAY foundation is obvs hard but absolutely you can and should contour him. and bake his eyes, even if he gets mad when he sees what he looks like before it's all done. dramatic ass with the, "oh my... fuck. i've changed my mind about this shit" PLEASE!!!!

also he says no to eyelashes bc he think they'll rip his off. tries to fight you on it.

but like, overall. since this man does not give A Fuck whether you wear makeup or not, he sorta sees the value in it, too... if that makes sense.

he knows that it takes a lot of effort, he knows why/when/how it's used... so when + if it's for fun, he's definitely not gonna bother you wanting to put it on him. if anything he's... weirdly (as in, he wouldn't SAY this to u) touched ur including him. he probably honestly figures that u don't care about his makeup opinions at first LOOOL (even tho i think he's good at picking shades for u when you go shopping together. picks random ass colors that end up looking GREAT).

... and also this is so cute to me... on the days when he's around for your morning routine, he'll pop into the room just to stare at you for a bit, and when you notice, lean down so you can include him in the process. if you're doing highlighter, he gets a little bit on his cheek, moisturizer, blush, lipstick, whatever.

Gives u a mean smile when it's done, too. he knows he looks good LOL. now kiss.

(and then he goes into work and gets hit with a "what's.... is that glitter on your cheek?" from denki.

no. it's highlighter. but ofc he doesn't say that, either<3)

do you have any waylon song recs? ive only ever really listened to johnny cash and willie nelson out of the highwaymen

sorry to this specific anon that this is like three days later and also to everyone else that I'm still harping on about this, but on the off chance that you've never heard the Waylon & Willie album, I think you should check that out first. I'm a big fan of their cover of Kristofferson's Don't Cuss the Fiddle off that album. it's not my favorite album for either of them but it's worth a skim for something familiar.

(plus Willie Nelson is a fucking legend and deserves every bit of fame he has.)

for like Waylon specifically, there's a pretty good The Essential Waylon Jennings album on Spotify. I realize that's such a copout but it's also two hours of a pretty good start for the singles. if I recall correctly, it's also in chronological order of release if you want a feel for the evolution. as for absolute musts if you don't wanna listen to all of it (even though you should):

stop the world (and let me off)

only daddy who will walk the line

this time

I'm a ramblin' man

rainy day woman

waymore's blues

good hearted woman

I've always been crazy

don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand

I ain't living long like this

(there's a lot more like I keep going "oh and this oh and this" but I would call this more the essentials of the essentials)

also I would seriously recommend listening to Waylon Jennings cover of I Walk The Line of the album "I've Always Been Crazy" if you want to hear for yourself why I think Waylon Jennings is "Johnny Cash if Johnny Cash was better" because hoo, boy once you get to the part (and you will hear the part), you are never gonna want to listen to the Cash version again. hilariously on the next song on the album, he covers Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down and jokes "eat your heart out, Haggard" in the middle of it, which is adorable, but like I am not even remotely kidding around when I say Jennings' I Walk the Line is "eat your heart out, Cash."

actually go listen to the album I've Always Been Crazy by Waylon Jennings, beginning to end. I love it. there are probably better albums but that's the one I listened to while writing this and it's fantastic.
