nanami kento with a curly haired s/o!

a/n: my hair is 3a+b so this is mainly based off my experience with washing and styling! im going to make it as vague as possible to try and include other curl types and the process but i might get some stuff wrong im so sorry, i got taken away with this….

nanami kento x gn!reader

cw: hopefully none

seeing as most people in japan dont have curly hair, it would be something that did cause him to pay attention before you started dating

part of him wanted to ask to touch it, but he knew better once he heard you rant about some woman coming up to you and touching it without asking

before you spent the night together he *really* had no idea how high maintenance it is

the first night you spend the night he’s confused but curious about your bonnet, you tell him your favorites - if it has elastic bands, ties or is scrunched

(the next time you come over he has a few of your favorite ones under the sink, just in case)

you talk about satin bedsheets, how you want silk ones but they’re too expensive and when you come by to spend the night next time your side of the bed has a silk pillow case

he listens to you about all your different products, taking note of what you like about each one and what they do, if they make your hair too stiff, too heavy for your hair, doesn’t add enough moisture

he looks at all your oils, what they do and which ones, your hair grease, castor oil, etc.

you teach him about your homemade hair masks, keeping the house stalked with olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, jojoba, tea tree, whatever you use

the first few times you style it around him hes watching like a hawk, taking note of each step from exfoliating your scalp, parting your curls in half, parting it again and lathering it until your hands are way too foamy and dripping all over the tub, then he watches you detangle your hair with your fingers while you condition.

you tell him about how you used to sit with your mother and she’d do your hair, how most of the time it was a pain in the ass- having a tender head and her yanking your hair apart then threatening to hit you with the brush sometimes she did but but ultimately looking back now that you didn’t have it, you missed it. there’s a deep seated warmth that comes from the memories thats almost spiritual

after kento hears about that he starts doing his own research on how to help better

the next time you get to wash day around him he asks to help, and you’re hesitant but ultimately come around

he props your knees on a towel comfortable, rolls up his sweatpants and sits on the ledge one foot in the tub the other out

hes gentle with your hair, finally fully touching it and almost melts at the touch. your curls twist around his fingers and its hypnotizing, hes obsessed!

he parts your hair mimicking your movements he watched down to the muscle twitch

the massage he gives you while he washes your hair makes you feel like you’re in a salon

he rinses your hair out with gentle scrunches instead of your aggressive twisting and then scrunching

you almost stop him from detangling your hair but he’s so careful, if you get the slightest painful tug he’s rapid fire with apologizes and a massage

you walk him through each product and how much to put, he scrunches your hair and then carefully helps you flip your hair

then it comes to the twisting and suddenly you’re grateful he’s here because now your hair is split in half and he’s twisting one side and you’re doing the other

“you’d make a good stylist,” you had joked to which he responded “only for you.”

this becomes routine most times, there are other times where you just need to relax yourself, and he respects that

you’ll sometimes let him pull the curl very gently, if he wants to touch it, because he knows how much time it takes and his body will never be found if he tries to do more than that

everytime you get to wash day he’s secretly hoping you’ll let it go natural because anytime you do that means you don’t have plans of going out for the weekend and that he has free reign to play and touch with your hair

it feels nice so you let him

he massages your scalp, stares at the way your hair lengthens so much and then bounces back against your scalp

he loves how soft it is, how it’s like his own cloud, how you stand out from the crowd and it’s like ivy sprawling out, spring tree’s shining in the sun and how it makes you look so much more ethereal

he loves to massage oil in or grease your scalp, how you tilt your head back into his touch and the serene relaxation on your face

when you whine and complain about your bonnet falling off and say something along the lines of “i go to sleep with it on and wake up with it checking out at the store without me” he snorts so hard he splashes coffee all over himself

when you’re sleeping and he notices your bonnet slipping off, he’ll put it back on

when you straighten your hair, he doesn’t hate it per-say, but you do definitely notice that he seems less touchy with your hair even though you tell him its free game

once its back his eyes linger on your hair more, and it makes you feel fuzzy inside that he’s so enamored with your natural hair, especially since growing up it had been too much for other people, always in the way, always too much or a commodity for others to stare at and disrespect, but he just sees it as an extension of you and is enamored with it

if you get any protective styles like braids, locks, twists, cornrows, its like a kid in a christmas store. he’s staring any chance he gets (but his favorite will always be your natural) because he’s just so mesmerized and enthused about the different styles you do

when it’s time to take your braids out he gets to work, untwisting and cleaning up any strands you take out and end up on the floor

he has to hide his face when you’re humbled by the lack of growth because he knows he shouldn’t be laughing but each time you’re so earnest

i got too carried away

i wish i could just hire someone to wash my hair but at the same time don’t touch it

also my love language is acts of service so this is 100% just my self indulgence

If life is a never ending loop of dirty dishes and laundry then that means life is a never ending loop of home cooked meals and comfy clean clothes

This is the highest compliment I could receive on my art

"their relationship is strictly platonic" "they're so in love" well, more importantly, they are fucking weird and abnormal about each other in an undeniable way

[emberwritesinsight]

The discussion around Ariel TheLittleMermaid baffles me bc if my dad literally destroyed a bunch of stuff I collected in front of me in a terrifyingly violent display of anger and I had a witch offer me an out if I could score the boy I thought was hot, my name would be on that dotted line before you can say "poor unfortunate soul". What do you mean she's stupid, her dad ravaged her Special Interest Cave like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, I would also run the fuck away

[kochei0]

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

“They gave me runway in this film. There’s one monologue in there. I can’t tell you the details of it. I say more words in that monologue than I said in an entire movie once as Wolverine. But there are sides of the character that I’ve been scratching at for 24 years […] There is stuff in this movie where I was like, ‘This is the thing I’ve been trying to get out’ and I feel so excited about it.”
