Do you think Deku is big on family?? He just SCREAMS dilf energy yk

Yes yes yes nonnie/nonnette. I think he is HUGE on family. Izuku js screams girl dad to me personally like I feel like he has 2 daughters idk how to explain it. Lemme js write ts for you..

Also this is x black reader.. I'm sorry💋

Reader n zuku are in their late 30's/ early 40's

Day 1 of izuku week!!

You and izuku had been together since highschool, you were quite literally highschool sweethearts. When he asked you to marry him at your highschool graduation you were literally sobbing. Just letting out tears and more tears.

When he told you he wanted to have kids you were a bit afraid. The thought of having to push a human body out of your literal birth canal terrified you. But he promised you he'd be there every step of the way. With him by your side you felt as if there was nothing you couldn't do.

That's how you ended up with the most beautiful girls in the world, izumi and zora. Those weren't the names you personally agreed upon but he made it his mission to have his daughters with names exactly like his. There was something so satisfying and gratifying to him about the fact there were his daughters. You had his kids. It was only fair he got to name them.

Izumi was izukus splitting image, she had curly green locs and big wide green eyes, she didn't have freckles however. Zora looked like you, a dingy greenish brown painting her hair and her deep hazel brown eyes not being as wide as izumis, her hair was more coily and voluminous than izumis.

Izuku loves both of his girls unconditionally, he loves when they have him play weird and wacky games like hospital or restaurant. Izumi is more of a loud and carefree kid, she loves singing and dancing and just being a kid. Zora is a bit too responsible for her age izuku thinks, shes very intelligent for the younger sibling and is very intuitive with things around her.

Izukus daughters are two different people but he can't help but love them all the more. Izuku sometimes loves watching you do zoras hair, putting cute little barrettes in her coily hair. He loves to watch the way you smile and do her hair, she winces slightly moving around from the discomfort. It was always easiest to do izumis hair in your opinion, not that you had a problem doing either of your daughters hair.

They were both huge Daddy's girls. He loved spoiling them absolutely rotten. They could just bat their eyelashes to him and he'd give them whatever they wanted. You hated how because he couldn't never dent them you were always seen as the bad guy.

Izuku would sit by the girls shared room door frame and watch you read to them, they'd say goodnight as you'd kiss both of their heads before leaving their room to your surprise you see your big husband with a soft grin on his matured face, his eyes soft and full of love.

Izuku was in love with you, the way your body had changed from giving birth, the stretch marks, the dimples and just everything about you. He loved you so much, you gave him a family, you gave him hope and reason to love, a home to come back to. The house wasn't his home, it was you and his daughters.

He would pound you from behind deep into your shared bed, whispering sweet things into your ears like how you were made for him and made to fit him. How you were so perfect and the reason he goes on. And so many more sweet things that made you gush and tighten around him.

Izuku midoriya was your big strong strapping husband who loved you so<33

AN: this was more of headcanons than a fic and i really enjoyed making this, lemme know if you want a little day in the midoriya girls' life!! I would enjoy making it!!!!

[pastel-peach-writes]

Hi! I love your writing sm! I haven’t really seen anyone do this, so I wanted to ask if you could do Catvi x reader with curly hair, Ty!!

OHHH my god. Why have I not thought of this? Anon, you're a genius. Coming right up!

Curls and Coils | CaitVi x Reader

╰┈➤ PLOT: Headcanons of CaitVi with a curly-headed cutie!

╰┈➤ WARNINGS: None!

⍣ ೋ Enjoy!⍣ ೋ

– CaitVi are obsessed with your hair.

– They love watching your curls in the sunlight, how they look when they're wet, gelled, or moussed. They're also fascinated with the diverse hairstyles you can do such as locs, box braids, or other protective hairstyles(if you're Black).

– If your hair is more on the coily side, they're just as obsessed and absolutely baffled by the shrinkage you encounter.

– As for caring about your hair, they would help you with wash days, go to the store and get you products if you run out, and offer to help with detangling if you need it.

– If you need help with washing and detangling, CaitVi will cancel everything on their agenda to take care of you. They won't let you help with takedown, the actual wash/condition, and detangling.

– They like to rotate roles on your wash days. One would do the washing and the other detangling.

– Though they switch, they have their favorite roles. Cait's favorite role is washing while Vi's is detangling.

– For Vi, there's something so empowering about getting fairy knots, regular knots, and tangles out of your hair. She doesn't have the faintest clue as to why.

– For Caitlyn, she likes to provide a service that's relaxing for you. If you don't want to talk while you get your hair washed, you got it. She'll be silent and thorough to get dirt out and moisture back in.

– If there's a new curly-haired product that drops, trust Cait and Vi are already on top of it.

– Caitlyn subscribed to a curly-hair magazine to keep up with the latest trends and products while Vi has a few friends who keep her in the loop.

– If you're ever insecure, trust the two of them will be there to assure you about your hair.

– And if you ever talk down about your hair, they'll be reassuring too. Although at the beginning of your relationship, they're more gentle with their reassurance. Once you became more comfortable with each other, their reassurance became more scolding than anything.

– "I swear to God. If I hear you talking that way about your hair again, I will shove you." | "And what did we say about talking down about yourself? Yup, that's right. To the mirror. Say your hair affirmations."

– If you're sleeping and they notice your protective hairpiece is slipping off, they'll fix it before they go to sleep themselves.

– Also, if you're taking forever to do your hair before going out or get frustrated with your edges not cooperating, they won't hesitate to step in and help you. (Or to calm you down before you throw your brush across the room).

– Also, on occasion, Vi and Caitlyn like to homage to your hairstyle in their outfit or hairstyles too.

– Vi and Caitlyn love your hair, almost (if not) more than you do! They will remind you every day with kisses on your cheek while complimenting your hair.

Full transparency I have 4C hair and I've always HATED it - especially because I'm tenderheaded as all fuck. But like my hair is coarse as all hell, the most 4C coily tangley hair that takes hours to do anything with so I usually just shave it off

But Like

Hobie, Hair, and Why it Matters

- (to me)

What if I told you HOBIE is making me change that

Im getting locs because of him but like!!!! Idk what it is - it's just the fact that his hair gets to exist and it LOOKS COOL and yes I know it still takes work but FOREVER I wanted hair that could just look cool as is but felt like I never could cause I always had to do SOMETHING or comb it or detangle or part it or WHATEVER

Cause like even wearing an afro is WORK - A LOT OF WORK Like with natural hair my hair does not do this shit naturally

You cannot do this with my hair its way too thick and coarse. And I've always felt discounted by the natural hair movement cause it's still so much work for me to even like 'look presentable' even by THEIR standards

But like Hobie.... Hobie..... Hobie (sorry I'm tryna form thoughts)

He challenges all that by just- BEING. EXISTING. LETTING HIS HAIR EXIST. LOOK

Idk it just means a lot to me. Like if anyone has the words to explain please do cause I MAY CRY

LIKE he's the first character to actually make me feel good and happy about my hair or with a look that like.. I feel like 'oh yeah I can do that!!'

I love his hair so much and it was the FIRST THING I noticed when he took off the mask like?!!!!!!! WICKS!!!!!!

AND HE LOOKS GOOD IN THEM AND THEY GAVE HIM THEM CAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE COOLEST MOST PUNK LOOKING OPTION ISN'T THAT COOL

They didn't care about the mask physics they cared about making him look rad and they chose hair texture like mine to do it!!!!! FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE AHHHHHH

LIKE he has hair like me. The coolest character. For the first time ever ever ever. I love him SOO SO SO MUCH and I can't wait to get locs

[creatingblackcharacters]

Do you have any techniques/tips for drawing graying coily hair? I have a lot reference photos saved but when it comes to copying the look, afros in my art style end up looking like a block of color with a hard gradient of gray to deep brown/black or deep brown/black with noticable squiggly gray/white lines. I don't have a realistic style and have not seen many older/aging Black characters from the artists I follow, and I'm not skilled enough in a realistic style to copy a reference 1 to 1. If you have any recommendations of artists who draw graying coiled hair or any tips on how to incorporate lighter colors into a coily texture (this would go for dyed hair too), I would appreciate it so much. I have also struggled to find comprehensive photo references of how graying locs would look, how the lighter strands pattern with the darker ones when locked. Also, is there anything specific you would want ppl to know or include about aging Black and textured hair? Balding patterns, hair care specifically geared to older ppl, any general knowledge off the top of your head that could direct on what to watch for and include? Thank you in advance and have a good day

Ombre effects and/or blending! You can find this in dyed hair as well. Greying is not always even, anyway, if you're worried about symmetry.

But yeah for grey hair I'll usually do a base color of the original hair color, then spray paint the grey towards the roots out to wherever I want it to reach in the hair. Then I go back and use the hair brush textures to add the greying hairs and highlights where necessary. This works for locs and afros for me.

There's also a Black artist, @prinnay , that I think does an excellent job of using color to show different highlights in the hair. Here's a small example of a bit of grey and white in one of her pieces. Just because it's a bunch of different colors not blending when you look close doesn't mean that the effect won't be there when you step back overall. I would suggest studying their work as well, they're a far better artist than I!

As for aging hair care, nothing that I wouldn't say about our hair in general. Maybe that the texture might soften as the hair greys and to be more careful because aging hair might not be as strong. Balding isn't a unique experience to Blackness. And as always, I suggest following more Black artists and studying their work 👍🏾

[ataleofcrowns]

Hii, I would like to just thank you for your beautiful book. Your writing is inspiring and you’re so good at describing, it’s really admirable. Very easy to picture the beauty of things I’m your world because it’s so well described.

I specifically came here to thank you for the bath scene in the earlier chapters. My character has locs and I almost cried when you talked about washing them and maintaining the moisture with oils. I was like ‘reallll’ lol. I remember when I decided to keep my natural hair instead of chemically straightening it, on of the first things I learned was to maintain moisture with oils. I use a kind of oil/cream concoction now, but the way the servants (I forgot their names unfortunately) washed my Crown’s hair immediately reminded me of the first time I washed my natural hair.

Just, thank you for putting so much thought into these seemingly minor things. Authors I’ve read usually stop putting thought after assigning what hair their mc has.

Anyway, I’m super excited to get further into your story and see where it goes! (Also, I love your characterization of well, the characters lol. So chefs kiss)

I'm so happy to hear that!! I don't have curly or coily hair myself, but from playing these types of games a lot it's a recurring complaint I've heard from players and readers who do.

Honestly, it's the very least I can do as a writer to learn from the mistakes of other authors and not repeat them myself. I can also relate to the feeling of being overlooked/excluded in certain choice-based games that still (even if covertly) assume the MC is basically white regardless of the choices the player makes, and how frustrating that can be. I'm really glad you felt seen while playing my game!!

Thank you for the very kind message, I hope you enjoy the rest 💖💖

[starrysharks]

what are the hair curl types of some of your ocs?

oo this is a fun question! i'll just go over a few of my characters and their hair ^^

octavia's got straight hair, clearly - i think she probably maintains the spikes with gel or spray or something. her hair's the only part of her that wouldn't heal/grow back should it be cut off, so she takes super good care of it. naturally i think she'd have type 4 hair, but she straightens it with an iron regularly because she doesn't have anyone to style it for her. (she probably stresses out like crazy about burning it with the iron...)

tho a character who does have braids is mallow from starsaints carnival! i think that she would've had her hair in locs from an early age, but decided she wanted a different style around 11 or so. she actually has an older sister, who i think would braid her hair for her :3

lunette is kinda similar to mallow too - i think she would've had her hair in butterfly locs or godess braids until 25 or so, when she decides to go natural. probably because it aids her job to not to have a hairstyle that's so easy to grab - tho it's not like a striking white afro is very inconspicuous either lol ^^ also i have to say her hair is naturally white for Cartoon Reasons...

those three all have naturally coily/tighter curls, tho i do have some characters who i'd consider to have loose curls! i think paro would probably have that fluffy type of hair irl, while momo's hair is more wavy.

(also, maybe it's cheating, but novocaine has cyberlox in her younger design! i wish more people knew about cyberlox, they're so cool)

Warnings: None!

Leo

He's such a blonde.

Like is this even a question? Its basically canon atp 

He would either bleach his hair, or it would be naturally blonde (albinism)

Whether he's albino or not, he's going to be chronically light skinned regardless.

His brothers stole all his melanin 

I like the albinism headcanon because it makes him stand out even more (we love a boy who loves to be the center of attention)

Also plays into the fact that he is intuitive, and therefore wouldn't need great vision to perform exceptionally in battle

Also explains why he likes sunglasses, he's got sensitive eyes

Speaking of eyes, they're blueish if he's albino. Otherwise they're dark brown.

Waist length dreads/locs

His hair needs to be as extravagant as him

100% puts charms in his hair

I'm the least picky regarding Leo’s hair style, anything over the top works. I'm just being indulgent here. I love long hair Leo.

Donnie

I'm kind of torn on his hair colour

I know he loves purple and would logically dye his hair purple…

But this boy is also a smart fashion mf. He knows that too much of one color drowns you and contrast is important

But then again… he’s the type to know this shit and just fucking ignore it anyways.

It's either purple or he's leaving it black.

THIS👏🏿BOY👏🏿IS👏🏿DARK👏🏿SKINNED👏🏿

I take no criticism on this. He is.

He has a twin brother who is pale as shit. The melanin had to go somewhere

Compulsory dark brown eyes with his melanin and all

Unpopular opinion but... Donnie would totally have his hair in cornrows

He prioritizes comfort over style, and cornrows are low maintenance for this busy boy and good looking too

Fun fact, he’s actually the only one of his brothers who never wears a wig or obtains hair somehow at any point in the show. 

He’s extra bald.

African Blasian

4c hair (coily coily)

༶•┈┈┈┈୨☆୧┈┈┈┈•༶

Raph

The only one that for sure won't dye his hair

I just don't think he has a reason to tbh

He's not quite light skinned but he's definitely lighter than Donnie and Mikey.

He has tons of birthmarks, large ones too. Big ol' one on his neck and smaller ones down onto his shoulders.

Again, compulsory dark brown eyes

My boy has a buzz.

I honestly considered giving him waves but they're a bit too high maintenance to make sense with his personality and habits.

He prefers low maintenance and easy to manage, unlike Leo's hair

He HATES how Leo's hair gets in the way of training and fights, and has concluded he just doesn't want that problem

Durag Raph.

African Blasian

4b hair

༶•┈┈┈┈୨☆୧┈┈┈┈•༶

Mikey

Dyes his hair too often to be considered even remotely healthy

orange tips are a frequent choice, but he also loves doing all his siblings' colors (Red for Raph, Green for April, etc)

The other sibling with melanin

Him and Donnie are the Darkskin Duo

He's not as dark as Donnie, but pretty close. He's darker than Raph.

I like to headcanon him with vitiligo, to replicate his spots and on his hands/fingertips as well.

Im being indulgent here lmao

Again, compulsory dark brown eyes

Mikey sports his natural curls.

I don't have a concrete reason for this, other than the fact that I headcanon Mikey with severe hair damage which results in him losing his curls in the bad future. (I took that little swoop in his hair and RAN WITH IT.) Because of this, i also headcanon him with loose curls to make this make more sense lmao

His baby curls wouldn't do too well in most protective styles so he just doesn't wear them.

SOME MORE BLACK GIRL SUNNY HEADCANONS!!!!

Sunny is EXTREMELY tender headed because I say so, she whines a little and tubbo freaks out.

Tubbo spent 3 days learning what a silk press and still has no idea what that means.

SUNNY HAS 4C HAIR

The first time he did actual twist/braids he celebrated like he just won a war

Hes really good at parting her hair like her can make hearts and suns on her

And hes for sure made little pig tails that look like sun rays IMAGINE IT!!

Her pillow cases r silk dude

He asked richas parents to help him learn more hair styles and proper hair protects (thank you for the this one @fwern !!!!!)

Sunny asked for her own personal hair store and that's exactly what he did.

Sunny has a whole vanity set that's just accessories for her hair. Hair clips and hair barretts, has multiple organisers that hold all the beads she has.

SOME OF THEM ARE MADE OF DIAMONDS FOR SURE DUDE IMAGINE, SHE'LL LITERALLY BE A STAR.

Ask that man to braid he will laugh in your face. For suuree

Sunny absolutely rocks some Bantu knots. They also look like sun rays

Sunny has done like the hair puff mohawk thing and insisted they commit crimes because its a cool hair style

She wants locs and tubbo just stared at her for a long time because he has no idea what that means. Montage of him going to every other parent asking what the fuck that means.

He did a blow out for the first time before starting her hair and he believes its a gift from god

Look me in the eyes and tell me he would not ask her what color hair clips/bobos/barretts she wants and spend HOUUURRRSSS making them.

He will eventually learn crochet locs and twists and he is pretty good at it, again kinda like wiring a machine

WASH DAYS ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS, lovingly sunny is soooooooo fucking dramatic, and tubbo folds instantly if he thinks he's hurting.

She's quick to try and make a escape but he grabs her and just looks at her "that's not very material girl of u sunny" or "a star would NEVER do this"

Tubbo looks at her dead in the eyes and tell her if she gets sand in her hair she's not getting a new set of hair things. She proceeded to "cry" and he said sorry but also its kinda true.

Idk how but tubbo made a hot comb ok, i just know he has, since they are both very jumpy they both get burnt often. Tubbos supper sorry but Sunny's happy to look like her dad!!

Plans to find the people who make hair relaxer because he wants sunny to be proud of her coily hair even if he has problems fixing it for her

Different headcanon!!!?

Her backpack looks like a giant bow cuz I think it's cute and she deserves a giant bow backpack. And yes tubbo built a sewing machine and then taught himself how to sew

[the-six-that-thrive-if]

[sirnoddodielmincelebcoolgaming62]

beta spoilers but does anyone else feel rubbed the wrong way with this hairstyle? it looks inspired by african braids (jumbo braids imo), because i have genuinely never seen someone with straight hair do anything similar. so if it is inspired by those braids... why is the style not just jumbo braids? why is the hair texture ambiguous at most, and the braid itself loose????

honestly as a black sky player i might just be tweaking/making a massive reach because its been over a year since a new afro textured style (aviary locs) and im kinda desperate for more than like 15 out of the like 120+ styles that exist to even be curly, let alone coily, since every hairstyle that gets added to this game is 99% of the time is (short) straight hair.

also! even if im just tweaking about this, it's not like tgc doesn't do similar. the braided styles in abyss have a similar issue - clearly inspired by cornrows, but modelled to be loose enough that you can imagine the hair texture to be straighter, not curly/coily. just feels a bit yikes to me, sending the wrong message perhaps.

p.s. tgc should rework the base locs from stealthy survivor. they can model locs so much better now and they're awfully modelled in comparison to the other loc styles, they've been long overdue for a rework
