#curly hair rant

[panxramic]

Taking Tallulah’s hair color change and inserting as much lore as I can into it. It’s just like when she got the haircut, a feeling of brand new, of moving on and changing. I love it sm

This new island has always been a new step for her, a way for her to move on. She’s left behind old memories and pictures, forgotten letters and homes. She’s finally found herself in a family, a family she’s been dreaming and hoping of. It’s not perfect, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows but it’s HERS, this is her family. She has an older brother she’d do anything for and two dads that love her endlessly. What else could she want?

So she changes her clothes, that’s the first thing she did a while ago. She matches q!Phil’s every step. And she finds things for herself.. Her mushroom beanie is one of the first things she ever got that truly felt like her own. She was made to reflect someone else, but THIS, this is her own. This is something she liked and she wanted, not something the federation threw upon her. She finds a liking to the color purple, and with that she weaves her own clothes to match q!Phil’s. It’s a mix of the person she loves and herself. Because truly who was the person that raised her? The person that has influenced her her entire life and has helped shape who she would become? It’s always been q!Phil. And that’s reflected in her clothes.

And now on this new island she also has a new dad. q!Missa. Who didn’t hesitate to take her in and call her his own. He’s been lovely, and with him she’s nurtured that side of her that’s more artistic and more creative. She also gets to tangle more into her culture and speak Spanish more. Her features match his. They have similar noses and eyes, the same moles on their cheeks. But the one thing that always stood out about Tallulah in the family has been her hair.

Tallulah’s hair has always been brown for as long as she can remember. It's been the one feature that doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the family. qPhil and Chayanne have blonde hair, qMissa has black hair. And sometimes Chayanne’s hair also reflects that of q!Missa’s.

Tallulah’s brown hair is the final tie to her past. It’s the one thing that makes her stand out, that shows the world she was destined for somebody else. It haunts her. So… as the final piece of the puzzle… it goes from brown to black.

Her hair is that final tether, and she was ready as ever to let it go, to let go of her past and let go of that pain. She’s moving on. Her hair is as black as qMissa’s, it’s as dark as the night sky. It matches every wither rose they come across. She’s part of the death family, one look at her and you can tell where she belongs.

And she does, for the first time in her life she feels like she belongs.

It’s scary, it is. Her brown hair has been such a huge defining feature of hers for so long. The black hair is a drastic change. What is everyone else gonna say? What are they gonna think? Is it going to look good at all? Who knows, we’ll see, but she’s never been so sure of herself.

This is who Tallulah is. This is who she has become. A person weaved and influenced by those around her, the people she’s spent time with. She’s taken their details and made them her own, she’s become her own person now. No longer is she the image of someone who left her to pick up the pieces no. She’s the image of those who helped her back up, of those who cared for her and watched her grow up to become the very person we see in front of our eyes.

She’s Tallulah. She likes the color purple and she loves animals. She wants to build a sanctuary for birds. She loves her brother Chayanne and she wears her heart on her sleeve. She has black hair and a purple beanie. And she’s a part of death family.

Last weekend I went to a lake with friends and friends-of-friends as part of a big group. I kinda knew this one dude but not really.

Anyway, one of his friends, a girl, came by and sat on the deck while he was swimming. He was joking about pulling her into the lake, to which she said no and that she had just got her hair straightened that week. This fucking dude, instead of letting it go, got out of the lake, PICKED HER UP and threw her in. WTF. When I confronted him and said she didn't consent to that, he just kept apologising and saying "I thought she was joking" but like wtf. She must have said no like 20 times. How is that a justification. Made me mad fr. That is not acceptable behaviour. consent is not only for sex.

I SWEAR TO GOD if I see even ONE more character go through a "glow up" where she replaces her glasses for contacts and straightens her hair (bonus hatred if she bleaches her hair from brown to blonde) I am going to fucking LOSE IT

YOU. PICREW MAKER. WHY DID YOU SAY YOUR PICREW IS "POC FRIENDLY' WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE THREE DARKER SKINTONES, ALL OF WHICH ARE SO HEAVILY DESATURED THAT THE PERSON LOOKS LIKE A WEEK-OLD CORPSE. NO REALLY. YOU HAVE SEVEN LIGHT SKINTONES I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IF I SQUINT. YOU HAVE BLUE SKINTONES. was it too much work to pick out two more colors? Or, for God's sake, turn the saturation filter up on the existing ones so anyone darker than the average Swedish citizen doesn't look like a Dawn of the Living Dead extra?

how many c4lories do I burn doing my curly hair routine?

[kaciidubs]

🫧 "might be cause it's Sunday, but I miss you heaps" "Malibu Nights by LANY" "if only it wasn't curly..." Just one devastating blow after another after ANOTHER

this man deserves the whole universe and I'd do anything to give it to him - please take care of yourself Chris 🥺

I find it so funny that girls will talk about how much they love dudes with curly hair and then turn around to tell girls with curly hair it looks unbrushed and that they should straighten it

[dearinglovebot]

I think inverting the blonde jock and nerdy asian kid tropes was genius but I’m also always going to be extremely bitter about how colorist yaz’ design process was. why did her skin get lighter in every round of art? how come she started off as a brown skin girl then became nearly white passing in the show (as in, people have argued with me that she isn’t a woc over how ambiguous they make her)? is it not weird? kausar is a visibly tan-skin person yet yasmina isn’t allowed to be the same? it reeks of corporate meddling and colorist (orientalist) ideals about asian women
