Define The Grace That You Get After Putting On Hair Extensions

In the realm of beauty and self-expression, hair plays a significant role. However, only some are blessed with voluminous locks or the ability to experiment with different hairstyles effortlessly. It is where hair extensions come into play, offering a versatile solution to enhance length, volume, and overall aesthetic appeal. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the fascinating world of hair extensions, exploring their types, application methods, maintenance, and the impact they have on personal style.

Types Of Hair Extensions

Clip-In Extensions

Ideal for temporary transformations, clip-in extensions are easy to attach and remove. They provide instant volume and length without the commitment of a permanent attachment. Users can experiment with various styles on special occasions or for a quick change.

Tape-In Extensions

Tape-in extensions involve attaching thin wefts of hair using double-sided tape. They are discreet, lightweight, and suitable for those seeking a semi-permanent solution. Maintenance is relatively simple, and they can be reused with proper care.

Sew-In Or Weave Extensions

Weave extensions involve braiding the natural hair and sewing the extensions onto the braids. This method is popular for its durability and the ability to create long-lasting styles. However, it requires professional installation and may put tension on the natural hair.

Professional Installation

Some methods, such as fusion or weave extensions, are best applied by a professional stylist. It ensures precision in placement, minimizing the risk of damage to natural hair.

DIY Application

Clip-in and tape-in extensions are more user-friendly and can be applied at home. However, it is crucial to follow proper instructions to prevent damage and achieve a seamless blend with natural hair.

Maintenance Tips

Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan and appearance of hair extensions:

Gentle Washing

Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to keep the extensions hydrated. Avoid washing too frequently to prevent premature wear.

Heat Protection

When styling with heat tools, use a heat protectant to shield the extensions from damage. Keep temperatures moderate to avoid compromising the integrity of the hair.

Brushing

Use a soft-bristle brush to detangle the extensions, starting from the tips and working your way up to the roots. Hold the hair near the roots to minimize tension.

Avoid Chemicals

Minimize exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals, as they can cause dryness and damage to the extensions.

The Impact On Personal Style

Hair extensions offer individuals the freedom to experiment with various hairstyles, colors, and lengths without the commitment of permanent changes. Whether for a special occasion or as part of a daily routine, the versatility of extensions empowers users to express their unique style.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving world of beauty and fashion, hair extensions stand out as a transformative tool for achieving the desired aesthetic. From temporary clip-ins to long-term fusion extensions, the options are diverse, catering to individual preferences and lifestyles. With proper care and consideration, hair extensions can be a game-changer, providing a boost of confidence and enhancing personal style for those who seek to redefine their look.

i think there's something to be said about transmisogynistic crowing about how trans women don't "look like women" (whatever that means) or are "normalizing" things like facial hair, square faces, whatever, when so many trans women i see taking selfies look like women (cis or trans) that i encounter irl at the grocery store, the movies, the mall, the library, etc while my social media feed is full of tiktoks of women who "look like real women" under these guidelines literally look like cartoons under 10 layers of filters, edit their bodies to impossible proportions, have had injections surgical procedures and wear full coverage makeup, lash extensions, etc so they can have their appearance tolerated online and not be brutally harassed for being "ugly." it's almost as if the idea that women can look a wide variety of ways without being denigrated is a positive thing for women and society. maybe

[skramzwannabe]

hi!!!!

I saw your intro post and was wondering if you had advice on getting into scene! It seems so cool

Sure! (*´ω`*)

I'd say the music is definitely one of the most important factors to it, so honestly before all else I'd check out some scene artists.

Millionaires, Brokencyde, and Dot Dot Curve are some good crunkcore artists, but if that's not your vibe then there's stuff like Attack Attack!, Snow White's Poison Bite, and I Set My Friends on Fire!

Some starter songs I would suggest are:

"Things that rhyme with orange" - I set my friends on fire

"Hello Fascination" - Breathe Carolina

"Down in the morgue" - Snow White's Poison Bite

"Prom Dress" - Millionaires

---

If you're looking into the fashion/want to dress that way then I would highly suggest looking in thrift stores/garage sales.

(There's always websites online that sell the clothes but it tends to be less affordable.)

A lot of scene fashion can be created pretty easily, it just generally includes layers and things animal print / bright colors. And a lot of things can be diy'd. (Ex. Using a fork to snag tights or painting a belt to be more colorful)

The hair is also a scene staple but I'm not too elitist about it because I know not everyone's hair is willing to cooperate XD

Most scene kids have their hair dyed but that's not necessary ofc. Generally they have their bangs side swept and hair teased to hell (with a comb basically brushing it backwards to create a bats nest / create volume) and then drowned in hairspray for it to stay.

Hair extensions can also help create that iconic scene look.

But ya (＾ｖ＾) I hope this overly long rant can help ya XD

beauty on a budget for someone new to the lifestyle?

since you’re only starting out, you’ll probably want to focus on affordable products and diy and at home beauty treatments.

you can get affordable skin care products from brands like cerave, cetaphil, and the ordinary. you’ll find all your essential cleansers, serums, exfoliators and moisturizers. you can order facial sheet masks in bulk cheap from amazon. you can also use aztec secret healing clay as a clay masque. skip the guasha altogether and follow a youtube tutorial for face sculpting massages instead.

good quality affordable makeup brands I used when I was nearly broke included e.l.f., nyx, wet n’ wild, maybelline, and makeup revolution. look into some other drug store brands within your budget and check reviews before you buy anything so you don’t waste your money. get generic beauty blenders and powder puffs, you’ll be replacing them often anyway so it’s best to get them cheap. you can buy cheap big makeup brush sets on amazon that’ll last a long time if you clean them regularly and take care of them.

press on nails and home manicures / pedicures will save you a ton of money and time. find a good manicure kit and pumice stone. buy a dollar store basin and some epsom salts to soak your feet. for press on nails I usually get mine from temu or brands like kiss and impress. if you just want to paint your natural nails, get a gel polish like l.a. colors color craze gel or sally hansen miracle gel. if you want to go the extra mile, invest in the supplies and learn how to do your own acrylics or gel manicures.

learn how to wax, shape, and tint your own eyebrows. you can buy an affordable diy wax kit like this one and use youtube tutorials on how to find the most flattering brow shape. (as a bonus, the hard waxing kit can also be used to remove unwanted hair on the rest of your body.) you can also find cheap brow tinting kits that usually last up to five uses at sally’s beauty supply and various other stores online.

if you want your lashes done, you can either get really, really good at applying a strip lash – my go to affordable brands are ardell and kiss – or you can invest in some bulk lash clusters and the falscara diy eyelash extension kit. figure out what lash placement will best compliment your features, then watch lots and lots of youtube tutorials on how to use it and practice, practice, practice. they take some getting used to.

when it comes to hair care, the very first thing you want to do is figure out your hair type with a quiz like this one and find what it needs to look and feel healthy. I have 2A hair, so I would pretty much always spring for nexxus for something moisturizing and lightweight, but I’ve heard great things about ogx, shea moisture, not your mother’s, maui moisture, l’oreal elvive, and garnier whole blends which are great for other hair types, densities, and textures. all these brands carry a wide variety of products from shampoo, to leave in treatments, to hair masques, to curl cream — you get it. again, read reviews. you can also use a cotton t-shirt to dry and plop your hair instead of spending money on a microfiber towel, and a satin scarf wrapped around your head to protect your hair while sleeping instead of a silk bonnet and pillow case.

if you’re into styling your hair, two of my favorite methods are heatless styling and blowouts. for heatless styling, you may not even need to purchase any new styling tools. I started out using this heatless robe curl method and eventually started doing other heatless styling methods like the ones on this playlist once I started buying more tools, and did styles like these when I didn’t feel like setting my hair at all. for styles that require heat, a highly suggest investing in a dyson airwrap – which can do pretty much everything – so you don’t end up spending even more on an arsenal of hot styling tools.

good luck, sugar

I joined tiktok in 2022 after hearing about a gyaru revival there. I deleted that app after about 5 months.

The obsession with trying to be carbon copies of 2003 magazine scans is bizarre. It's like nobody has a sense of personal style. Certain elements such as tropicals, florals, skulls and studs can be found in clothing departments, in store or online. It's not possible for everyone, but it's worth a try.

The belief that gaijin gals have to "try harder" because we don't stand out as much, implying that East Asian gals are inherently superior???????

It is absolutely FOUL that gals are excluding kids who aren't allowed to wear makeup. Give them alternatives (stickers, stamps, gemstones, tinted lip balm, hair chalk, colored extensions, etc.) and help them develop a personal style/wardrobe. When they're older, makeup won't be so scary, and they'll have a better sense of what they want.

And for the love of D.I.A. go outside!!!!! Stop picking fights with high schoolers and hang out with other j-fashion enthusiasts.

oh oh i got inspiration request from sr. (rdj dad, netflix documentary) so could you write about chris evans decided to do a Netflix documentary movie from how he became celeb to how he met his girlfriend, reader.

Boston Boy: Chris Evans Doco

A/N: OK I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF THIS SCENARIO FOR SO LONG. I ADORE THE CONCEPT. Me being a very visual person, I was like... how do I execute this? It was gonna be gifs but then I thought no like let's get that audio visual thang going. So I present to you my shitty little video montage that I spent 2 hours on my laptop trying to figure out, scouring the internet for clips (they're not mine... clearly please dont sue). I kind of set it out as the single interviews, and then you guys getting asked questions by interviewers at home and then all those little scenes.

So when you watch my poorly done video, firstly, don't judge, secondly, imagine it as little home video clips of you. I HAD TO DO IT. MY BRAIN WOULDNT LET ME POST THIS UNLESS I DID IT.

Please enjoy xo.

1v1 Chris Interview

Interviewer: What’s one song that describes Y/N?

“Killer Queen. No question.” He smirked, resting his chin on his fingers.

< Video Montage of you starts with the music >

She’s just… yeah… you know you don’t meet someone like that every day and the fact that I get to spend every day with her makes me the luckiest man alive.

<Scene changes to you getting comfy on your couch, pulling up a blanket and holding a cup of tea. The room is dark being light by the various warm lights in your living room. You’re in your pyjamas.>

Interviewer: You guys ready?

Y/N: Oh, this is starting already! God, I haven’t even done my makeup.

CE: You look fine. It’s a documentary babe it’s supposed to be informal.

Chris pulled your feet up over his lap, settling in next to you.

Y/N: I still would have done my hair! I’ve never done an interview for anything besides a job, so this is a little different.

Interviewer: Just think of it as you’re in your living room chatting with friends.

Y/N: Alright shoot!

Interviewer: So, Y/N, I guess it’s funny because you don’t have a profession in the industry you had no aspirations of being famous and you’ve just been thrusted into this spotlight… what’s that like?

Y/N: I mean… it’s definitely different. And I’d be lying if I say I didn’t you know think on it and it’s hard because you have to really question is this guy, I’m seeing worth it? You know? That sacrifice of your privacy or your mundane life. Like yeah, the trips and the nice house and hotels and the events are all great and I can’t complain but you know you give a part of yourself up. That part of you that can go to the grocery store in sweatpants, the one where your whole life doesn’t come up when you google yourself. That was hard but you know I had to kind of follow my heart and I decided yeah you know; I really like this guy and why not? Sometimes you gotta take a risk and follow your heart and I’m glad I did it but I don’t think I’d do this for anyone else.

CE: Would you say I’m worth it now?

Chris smirked at you

Y/N: I’d definitely say you’re worth it.”

Interviewer: And what would you say is the hardest part?

Y/N: Well, you know no one wants to be disliked and that’s always hard to have that rejection but imagine that but from thousands of people who have never met you, don’t know you from a bar of soap who then go online and tell you that. You know that they don’t like you because you’re ugly and fat and you’re a gold digger. Let the record show, I have a really good job that I love so his money was not what did it for me. Especially, since I’m the one who always buys the coffees.

CE: That part killed me…. There’s this girl, you know, my girl that I love and she’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me and people are just going around online spewing all this hate about her, you kind of feel it’s your fault… ya know? She didn’t choose this life, I did but by extension it’s her life now. I just don’t think she deserves it. The gold digger comment on the other hand is hilarious, I think I owe her $1000 in coffees. She gets weird if I buy her a nice present on her birthday, she’s definitely not after my money.

Y/N: I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s your fault though like I knew what I was getting into, and I agreed to it getting into a relationship with you.

CE: It’s still not fair though. I have this need to protect her, ya know, that’s my job to make sure she’s safe and I can’t protect her from everything and that’s hard.

Y/N: I know honey I know.

You patted his thigh hoping the ease the pain in his voice.

Y/N: I’ve kind of grown immune to it now, these people don’t know me or my relationship so I’m able to kind of shut that out. It’s as simple as putting the phone down.

Interviewer: What’s the best part then?

Y/N: Not having to pay rent in Boston.

CE: Ya kidding!

Y/N: It’s a really tough market!

Y/N: No in seriousness, I live a really privileged life with the man I love. I had a great life before, but I think being in love and having a person makes you feel complete.

Interviewer: So, we’ll set the scene, an A-lister movie star comes up to you on a night out and starts talking to you… what’s going through your head? How did you feel? Starstruck?

Y/N: He looks like every other white dude, so I didn’t clock it immediately but when I did I thought I was being punkd or something.”

CE: Oh come on!

Y/N: No seriously and I’ve told you this I was super suspicious about it. Yeah sure, I’ve had guys come up to me in clubs but having someone who you know could have anyone they wanted, and you know I’m not the beauty standard, I don’t fit the mould of bombshell, I’m curvy and loud and I laugh like a drunk witch I just didn’t think that I was someone he’d be interested in.

CE: Speak for yourself I love your laugh.

Interviewer: So, Chris why did you go up to her?

CE: Well firstly, look at her. I mean I first saw her and I think that was kind of the first time in my life I ever got taken back by someone… I’m a big believer in love at first and I think I had that moment of “wow there she is. That’s the girl I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with.” and it’s not just her looks either she had this energy about her that was addictive and I wanted to be a part of. She was laughing and I could see the faces of the people around her they just seemed so entertained and engaged by whatever she was saying. She’s one of those people you kind of just gravitate to because she has that gift of lighting up a room. She reminds me of a quote I read once, she’s like a sunrise, she doesn’t care if you watch her rise or not she will continue to be beautiful even if no one bothers to look.

Y/N: He had this big grin talking to me the whole time and I thought oh maybe that’s an actor thing where you’re not allowed to stop smiling.

Interviewer: But you thought you were getting punkd…

Y/N: If not punkd, that he was kind of just looking for a one-night fling. Admittedly, I judged him. Definitely. I had read the tabloids, I didn’t understand why someone like him was single, it was suspicious.

CE: It’s because I hadn’t met you yet.

Y/N: Well, we know that now but back then I think I put a wall up because I didn’t want to get hurt. Getting your heartbroken by a celebrity isn’t just as simple as you block their number, his face is everywhere, I’d have to boycott certain movies. I’d be embarrassed by the fact that I trusted some playboy movie star and thought that I was special enough he wanted to be with me.

CE: God you were soooo wrong sweetheart

Y/N: I can admit that now! But yeah, it’s definitely weird trying to navigate his intentions. But he made it pretty clear from the start.

CE: She said no like 50 times.

Interviewer: You said NO?

The interviewer put on a faux gasp.

Y/N: I had my walls up I just don’t think I was willing to be fucked around by Captain America. But I think I realised he was being genuine when he was scheduled to leave to go to some other event and his people came over to kind of get him out and he looked them in the eye and said “no, I’m in the middle of something important.” I was like oh god this man is DETERMINED.

CE: You were important, I refused to leave you alone until you at least agreed to one date.

Y/N: We would of been there all night if I was more stubborn.

CE: Thank god you caved to my good looks and charm.

Y/N: Yeah that and you also promised me a pasta dinner… that’s my advice to all the girls watching never turn down a good meal especially if the guy is paying.

CE: I learnt early on good food is the way to your heart.

Y/N: And then every date after that he’d bring me chocolate like boxes of truffles or those big industrial packs of Reece’s.

CE: She loves Reece’s.

Interviewer: So how do you keep this spark alive? Seems like you two are really in love even after facing some challenges that normal couples wouldn’t.

CE: Sex.

Y/N: Chris!

CE: What? I can’t say that? Look I’m a man, who is lucky he gets to go to bed most nights with a beautiful woman I think that’s a really good part of our relationship that I can’t see going away anytime soon.

Y/N: Intimacy is definitely there that’s for sure but I think also even when you are away we are constantly communicating and planning to do things we enjoy together.

CE: Yeah, when I come home from filming or a press tour my first priority is making sure we have that time to reconnect whether it’s a week, a day or even just a few hours doing something with her and no one else makes me feel a little bit more human again.

Interviewer: Would you say your job makes you feel less human?

CE: In a way yeah, I mean, I’m playing another character 24/7 and I love my job don’t get me wrong but you’re on set for hours every day and then you get pushed into interviews and you have to be “on” all the time you know smiling and answering the same questions for hours. I think that’s why a lot of actors do seem unhappy and it’s because they don’t get to come home to someone who wraps you in this hug of quotidian. I’m Chris Evans most of the time but I come home and to her I’m just “Chrissy baby” and she doesn’t expect me to act a certain way, I can just be myself and pretend for a few hours that I’m just this normal guy coming home to his wife after a day of work.

Y/N: Girlfriend. He means girlfriend. We aren’t married.

CE: Not yet but it’s definitely on the cards. Sorry I slip up a bit, it feels like we are married but yeah no secret wedding or anything.

Interviewer: Have you guys talked about marriage and kids, we know Chris is set on a big Boston family..

CE: Oh, every day.

Y/N: It’s definitely in the works, Chris and I have a similar background in the fact we are big family people so it’s a no brainer that in a couple of years you’ll see me popping out babies.

CE: But for now, we are enjoying life just us and Dodger.

Y/N: Yeah, there’s no rush. It’ll happen though.

Interviewer: How many kids is the perfect number?

Y/N: 3

CE: 4

Interviewer: 3 or 4 which is it?

CE: My number is actually coming down from 5 but obviously it’s her body so if after 3 she feels up for one more, I won’t say no but whatever makes her happy.

Y/N: I need to see how I feel but I’m confident that Chris will be one of those hands-on dads, so I won’t be left alone with 4 kids under 4 running around.

CE: Oh, definitely not, stay at home daddy over here.

Interviewer: Seems you two have given lots of thought to it any baby names?

CE: The baby names are safely locked up in Y/N notes app but yeah, we’ve sorted that out.

Y/N: I’m not spoiling them.

You grin at the gorgeous man next to you.

< Chris’s voice over as scenes of you two moving around airports, packing bags and messing around in green rooms plays >

Life is crazy for me right now; you know with ASP and all these upcoming movies and projects. I don’t think that’s something I’d be able to do if I didn’t have her. She is singlehandedly keeping my engine running. Because there are days when it gets too much, and you have so many different opinions coming your way as to what you should do and how you should act. And there she is, right next to me or a phone call away and I can just turn to her. I definitely value her opinion above anyone else’s and that’s because I think she only gives it when I ask or when she thinks I need to hear it. She knows me better than myself so if she says, “Hey slow down.” I listen because she knows. I know its cheesy, but she is my rock, she is the calm I crave amongst chaos and a minute in her arms helps me get up to do another day.

She inspires me every day, the way she gets up and works tirelessly for others, pursues her passion and is unapologetically herself. They say you’re attract to people who have what you lack, and I think her confidence to say, “Hey you may not like it but I’m not going to conform to what you want me to be.” Is something I admire, and I think being around someone like that really gives me that bit of confidence to kind of shush the anxiety. There’s a certain intelligence that comes with knowing it’s not worth it to change yourself to appease others and that’s why when I say she is the smartest person I know, I mean that.

She’s not just my best friend, she’s, my soulmate.

Best HD Lace Wigs: Your Ultimate Guide to Flawless Natural Hair

HD lace wigs have revolutionized the beauty industry by offering wearers a seamless, natural look. These wigs are crafted from high-definition lace, which is thinner and more transparent than traditional lace, making them undetectable when worn. Whether you're new to wigs or a seasoned wearer, this guide will help you understand why best HD lace wigs are the choice for achieving that flawless, natural hairstyle.

In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about HD lace wigs, including their benefits, how to choose the best one, and essential tips for care. Let's dive in!

What are HD Lace Wigs?

HD (High Definition) lace wigs are made from ultra-thin Swiss lace that blends seamlessly with your scalp, giving the appearance of a natural hairline. The thinness and transparency of the lace make it nearly invisible, making HD lace wigs ideal for those who want a wig that looks realistic.

Key Features of HD Lace Wigs:

Ultra-Thin Lace: The lace is much finer than regular lace, making it nearly undetectable on your scalp.

Natural Hairline: Creates a flawless hairline, perfect for those seeking a realistic look.

Comfortable to Wear: The thin lace material allows your scalp to breathe, offering all-day comfort.

Customizable: You can bleach the knots and tint the lace for a more tailored look.

Why Choose HD Lace Wigs?

If you're on the fence about purchasing an HD lace wig, here are some compelling reasons to consider:

1. Natural Appearance

HD lace wigs give the most realistic look, thanks to the sheer lace that blends into your skin seamlessly. Whether you're wearing a middle part, side part, or a ponytail, your hairline will look natural, boosting your confidence.

2. Lightweight and Breathable

The thin lace of an HD wig makes it lightweight and breathable, ensuring you don’t feel overheated or uncomfortable, even during long wear. This is especially beneficial in warmer climates or when wearing wigs for extended periods.

3. Versatility in Styling

With an HD lace wig, you can experiment with different hairstyles without worrying about exposing the lace. The transparent lace ensures your partings, up-dos, and curls all look natural.

4. Customization

HD lace wigs allow for easy customization. You can bleach the knots or tint the lace to perfectly match your scalp, ensuring an undetectable hairline. This level of customization makes HD lace wigs a popular choice among celebrities and influencers.

5. Durability

When taken care of properly, HD lace wigs can last a long time. Despite being thinner than other lace wigs, they are durable and can withstand regular use with the right maintenance.

How to Choose the Best HD Lace Wigs

Choosing the best HD lace wig can be overwhelming with so many options available. Here's what to consider:

1. Hair Type

HD lace wigs come in different hair types, such as synthetic and human hair. For a more natural look and feel, human hair HD lace wigs are a great option. They can be styled with heat tools, dyed, and customized to suit your preferences.

2. Hair Texture

HD lace wigs are available in various textures, including straight, wavy, curly, and kinky. Choose a texture that complements your natural hair or matches the look you’re aiming for.

3. Wig Density

Wig density refers to how thick the hair is on the wig. A density of 130% is standard and gives a natural, lightweight appearance. For a fuller look, you can opt for densities between 150% to 180%.

4. Lace Color

Ensure the lace color matches your skin tone for a flawless finish. Most HD lace wigs come in transparent lace, which is suitable for all skin tones, but tinting the lace can help achieve an even more seamless look.

5. Cap Size

HD lace wigs come with adjustable straps to fit different head sizes. Ensure you choose a wig with a cap size that fits snugly and comfortably on your head.

How to Install HD Lace Wigs

Installing an HD lace wig is relatively simple, but for the best results, follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

Before applying the wig, ensure your natural hair is flat. Braiding your hair or wearing a wig cap can help achieve a smooth base.

Step 2: Apply the Wig

Place the HD lace wig on your head and adjust the position until it aligns with your natural hairline.

Step 3: Secure the Wig

Use adhesive or wig tape to secure the wig. You can also use an elastic band for additional hold.

Step 4: Customize the Hairline

To make the wig look even more natural, trim the excess lace and pluck a few hairs from the front to create a less uniform hairline.

Step 5: Style as Desired

Once the wig is secured, style it as you prefer. HD lace wigs allow for versatility, so feel free to experiment with different looks.

How to Care for HD Lace Wigs

Proper care is essential for extending the lifespan of your HD lace wig. Here are some tips:

1. Regular Washing

Wash your wig with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep the hair clean and moisturized. Avoid over-washing as this can cause the wig to become dry.

2. Detangle Gently

Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush to detangle your wig, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent shedding.

3. Store Properly

When not in use, store your wig on a mannequin head or a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.

4. Avoid Excessive Heat

While human hair HD lace wigs can be styled with heat, excessive heat can damage the hair. Always use a heat protectant and avoid using high temperatures.

Where to Buy the Best HD Lace Wigs

2069

"Is this all there is to this life? Should be recognizin' myself in the mirror better each day, but instead I feel more and more like I'm lookin' at a stranger..."

Vince ran away from home in 2067, aided by Jackie Welles whom he'd met the same year through a fateful coincidence. Jackie and his connections helped him gain independence from his family, and opened doors into a world Vince had so far only seen from far above and far away.

From one environment of buzzing neon lights into the next, although a much less polished one, he ended up in Kabuki. There he stayed for the next two years to come. Drifting from one dissatisfying odd job to the next he tried to build a new life from scratch. In some ways it was a very freeing experience. On file, his birthday was a different one now, aging him up just enough to get his mother off his back. He started HRT, got tattoos he'd always dreamed of, dressed more how he liked without fearing repercussions. He even felt comfortable growing his hair out, dyeing it darker... And soon he began to only introduce himself as "V" to new acquaintances, a nickname and advice given to him by Jackie when they first met.

In other ways though he felt just as out of place in Kabuki as he did in Charter Hill, if not more.

He knew little about life on the streets, was overqualified for what his employers asked of him, and unhappy, underwhelmed with his living situation as a whole. He'd never had to survive on a budget, struggled to make ends meet, or worried about food and rent before. Even Jackie had no solution to these problems - and merc work would never be Vince's style, even if it meant easy money. "Easy" always comes at a price later on...

Eventually, he ended up helping out at a niche tech store with ties to the Tyger Claws. It became the longest job he managed to hold before his pride got the better of him. After many heated arguments with the owner he decided to quit on the spot without much of a Plan B left. He had always done his best to stay away from trouble, gangs in particular, especially after a very unpleasant encounter with the Valentinos two years prior.

Despite his careful attempts to conceal his tracks though, keeping a low profile, and trying to make this new life work out for him somehow, his past began to catch up with him as the Unification War started to threaten Night City itself...

Vince through the years (2/9)

Welcome to more behind the scenes rambles! XD Today: Vince's cyberware and tattoos, of which many were part of him as of 2069 already.

Not too much intense editing required for this set, the lighting in that street is really nice as is with all the neon and stuff! Just off of Kabuki roundabout, where the tech store Vince worked at for the better part of a year was situated.

I did have some fun playing around with some filters for the glitch effect - it's not quite where I want it yet, but I was going for the kind of look V has on surveillance cameras in game, with his identity obscured and such!

During his time in Kabuki he didn't quite have the means that would have allowed for something similar. But still, he was keeping a low profile and taking a lot of not-quite-legal measures to obscure his whereabouts and identity as best as he could to get away from his mother.

Also, this is full headcanon territory and I'm not sure how compatible it is with Cyberpunk lore (I tried to find something online, stumbled upon an extensive cyberware listing from the 2020 rulebook and such)... but my personal headcanon for his piece of neck cyberware is that it's fashionware on the outside, but under the surface it's doing some hormone synthesizing and regulation for his transition. Y'know, a convenient alternative for the array of options we have in our time and age with creams and gels or injections. A one time solution installed in your body that from day one will just do its thing for the rest of your life, basically (with some checkups and upgrades throughout the years obviously).

Also, Viktor got it for him, installed and all, and while they were at it Vince was like "Vik, do you do tattoos, too? I have an idea for something..." and that's basically how he got his demonic grin neck tattoo on the same day xD

Also around that time he would have gotten the wings on his back done:

Very symbolic and a little cliché, but he doesn't give a damn (and he doesn't know it at the time yet, but Kerry will love it xD). The whole "setting himself free" that year in all meanings of the word was very important to him. And by 2069 he'd completed the look with his chin and face tattoos.

The trans-colours cyber-flower on his right shoulder was the first "proper" tattoo he'd ever gotten, shortly before running away from home even. The little, slightly crooked Ursa Major just below it was a stick-and-poke a "friend" did on him even before that, but he never had the heart to get it covered. It's awkwardly positioned and a bit wonky, but he still likes it as a symbol and reminder of his childhood. He had the dots filled in with rainbow colors a little ways down the the line though.

His left shoulder and the chest piece connecting both right and left followed a few years later! We'll get to that :3

Rayati, honored readers

When I was a baby lesbian in the 80s I frequented the legendary bookstore Lambda Rising, which was located in the rather upscale gayborhood of DuPont Circle in DC. My favorite part of that store was the rack of zines made by queers of all kinds for various queer niches. I picked one up called Artemis, which purported to be for women who like women who look like women. I thought “that kind of sounds like me,” and I avidly read and reread it. It was clear that the community who made this zine were UK-based, and I was a pretty miserable teenager on the east coast of the US, struggling with more than my own share of stuff, so nothing more came of it.

About 10 years later, it was the mid-90s and I was using gopher to read Usenet. I kid you not! That is how ancient I am. I confess that I was poking around a number of groups at that time that fell into the “alt.sex” category. One day there appeared a message on the femdom group about a Feminine Empire where only girls were allowed, and that I must jump through the “shimmering portal” quickly as it would close in short order. There was a URL, which was a thing of which I had only become aware within a year or so of that fateful afternoon.

The site was called Femmeworld, and it was an absolute delight! I won’t go into any detail here about that site, as several very intelligent and competent blogesses here on Tumblr have done that. I learned about blondes and brunettes, and I was struck with a bolt of revelation that I was a brunette, and that explained me! I made sense! Of course I understood that this was all within a fantasy world and that there was no such thing as an Aristasian brunette, but it revealed to me that other women had these feelings and experiences, and had thought about and discussed it enough to invent a fictional designation.

To cut to the chase, here were these women, some of whom were enby, but also female essentialist. They were anti-patriarchal, but anti-feminist. Advocates of complete state welfare (see the “colleges” that girls can choose to live in) but entirely anti-socialist, and in fact monarchical. And of course one can’t hear about “blondes and brunettes” without immediately detecting at least a bit of racism. When questioned about that, they always insisted that in lands where girls were dark-skinned, the blondes simply had hair of silver or white, and honestly it’s a trivial point, and could I please drop the subject?

I won’t go into an extensive discussion of the implications here, but I am sensitive to them. I was raised in an actively anti-racist white family. I always strive to be aware of racism and white supremacy wherever I go in the real world and the virtual. I can only tell you that because all of my interactions were virtual, it would be hard for me to absolve the Aristasians of any such allegations, but I can say that the welcoming, vulnerable, friendly nature of these ladies suggests that hate of any kind would be quite alien to them. There were a couple of girls in Second Life whose avatars appeared to be Black, and they were accepted with as much joy and enthusiasm as all other girls present. More than that I can’t say.

For another 10 years, I popped in and out of Aristasian spaces. I contributed to forums, and even took part for a short time in an online schoolgirl RP by email. Some time in the mid aughts, it was announced that an Aristasian Embassy would be established in the virtual world of Second Life. I immediately started an SL account so I could go there (and how I spent the next 15 or so years in SL is a whoooole other narrative that isn’t particularly relevant.) I attended a couple of balls at the Embassy, and was very graciously complimented on my gown. I was present for Operation Bridgehead, but was privy to very little inside information about the disagreements that ensued. If I knew anything about that, I would not share it here. Despite any philosophical differences with these ladies, I have great respect and affection for them, and would be unwilling to air their dirty laundry, so to speak.

I was privileged to get to know Sushuri Madonna, who was at that time the undisputed leader, at least of the contingent that could be found in SL. She was entirely delightful, intelligent, and kind, and had an extremely delicate nature. Despite my best efforts not to offend, I am sure my most carefully curated speech had to seem terribly coarse to her. We exchanged some email, and she was kind enough to offer editorial assistance with a few bits of Aristasian fiction I was toying with. What little I learned about her personally, I will of course not disclose, but I felt that we were friends, and I cared for her very much. I hope she is still alive and well, and that the demise of the persona called Cure Dolly does not indicate her real life death.

Thank you for reading, and I would very much welcome discussion on the topic from anyone interested.

i have this incredibly specific headcanon that aira had a phase where he went super hard into being a trans Woman but detransitioned after like a couple months, and is now gnc.

like not too long after he becomes an idol hes struggling a lot with his blossoming sense of adolescent identity and clear insecurity-complex, and of course he's in Ensemble Square which is full of gay people, and he's online a lot too in queer twitter communities and it kinda all accumulates into him thinking, MAYBE I AM A WOMAN? so he tries it.

but he has this very narrow and specific idea of what it means to Be Transgender, and to Be a Transwoman by extension, so he just throws himself in the deep end and goes full social & clothing transition immediately. tatsumi and mayoi are supportive (tatsumi is an Ally and mayoi is genderqueer in some form) and this is probably hiiro's first introduction to it but he doesnt care either and is enthusiastically supportive. pretty much everyone he knows is on board with it (except subaru and hokuto are weird about it probably but who cares about them). the Pretty 5 are overjoyed and help by taking him shopping, Arashi especially.

but while aira has an initial euphoric burst of freedom by doing this he very quickly feels very WRONG. but hes fucking committed to it now and like he knows hes not a dude, right?, and he doesnt want to be NonBinary (which is a single third gender identity and not an umbrella term at all, as everyone knows /s). and like, he does like wearing skirts sometimes, and long socks are cute. and he was already kinda feminine, he is ALKALOID's Cute One. so he's probably just not feeling anything at all and he isn't going to address it.

but arashi can fucking tell something is off and tries talking to him. he deflects and denies everything and at someone else bringing it up he only doubles down.

he is wearing FEMALE MAKEUP now! he is looking at tutorials on youtube on how to apply makeup just-so, so he can look like the Cis-Like and Conforming Trans Woman he is. and he is OWNING IT, he is a Girlboss and is now making Activist Twitter Posts talking about his transfem (because that isn't its own thing, either, it's just a synonym for trans Woman! also /s) experience which he is now suddenly an expert on.

and he is fucking miserable just having trapped himself into another stupid binary and now eichi is accounting for this in StarPro's marketing or whatever and now all of ALKALOID's fans are getting it into their heads about being special trans allies and all these things are happening and and and and.

mika tentatively comes up to him one day. he says that hes too nervous to go to pretty 5 or arashi about it, as irrational as it is considering it's fucking arashi, but he just wants aira's help to like, try on some skirts or something like he sees aira doing. no strings attached it doesnt mean anything, just to try.

aira is trying not to have a meltdown in the store while he waits for mika in the changing room. writing twitter posts with hands sweatier than they are after a live is one thing but having to physically be there and act as this ideal image of THE Trans Woman feels like he's standing there waiting for an axe to swing at his fucking head and that it's going to happen any second now. he gets these chills all down his back like some creepypasta character is about to get him. (he's still scared of the creepypastas).

mika says that he thinks the skirt is cute on him, but that he doesn't think he likes it. he says he doesn't know. he says that he doesn't like how it impedes on his masculinity.

"isn't that the point, though? you wanted to be a girl?" aira asks, hair actually wet with how much he's sweating.

"no... nyaghhhg, i don't wanna be a girl. i didn't think just putting it on would make me one, but if it does then i don't wanna wear it anymore."

aira thinks that is a weird fucking thing to say because of course if you're trying on skirts and trying to be feminine it means you're trying to be a transgirl, and he also thinks that if he has to hear mika talk for a second longer he's going to explode from fucking anger. he doesn't think to question why he's so angry, but he says something snappy at mika and it makes mika give up so it all works out and he can go home.

hiiro can tell aira isn't doing well but hiiro can go fuck himself for all aira cares. aira can't even practice anymore, he's just getting angrier and angrier with each day.

eventually he tears off all his clothes in a rage and throws out all his makeup, even the ones he'd been using before his transition. rei comes into their dorm and is alarmed to find aira burning a pile of clothes in the middle of the room. he's attempted to protect the carpet by putting it on top of cardboard. rei has to use the fire extinguisher.

after aira's calmed down a bit rei laughs out of nowhere. aira asks him what. rei says that he thinks aira is the first amab trans guy he's met. aira says he's had enough of all these fucking labels. rei asks if he wants him to inform eichi for him, in regards to the marketing. aira says yeah, thank you...

with touch of feather, aira grows more comfortable in his own skin.

sometime later, mika nervously announces to the pretty 5 that he's genderqueer. arashi helps him come out, and the rest express their support. tori says welcome to the club. (aira wonders how he didn't already know this about tori.)

"in what way?" aira asks mika after congratulating him.

"errr..." mika looks confused for a moment before realisation dawns on his face. "oh. nah, just genderqueer. i don't like all those expectations 'n all that. i just wanna do whatever feels right. that's what humans are, ain't it? just a lotta nonsense feelings."

"oh," says aira.

in retrospect, aira supposes that arashi isn't completely gender conforming and hyper-feminine either. and later, after he and hiiro get together (finally), he asks hiiro if he was still interested in him while he was trans. hiiro says yeah, he doesn't see why that would affect it, and really he was worried about him more than anything else. before aira can make some inquiry about his hometown, hiiro continues that he's been talking a lot to the other idols, so he knows a bit about the city's queer labels (and the variance & nuance in identity) now, and that he's bisexual --- well, he doesn't really like calling himself the labels very much, but that it's the best way to communicate it. aira says huh. he wasn't really expecting to hear that from him.

i think after all that aira would be comfortable just being gnc occasionally, and not worry too hard about being a Boy or a Girl.

warnings: stalking, gun mention, dark twist

---

Chris Sturniolo loved hunting for unique finds at secondhand shops. One afternoon, while browsing a local toy store, a baby pink Nintendo DS caught his eye. Nostalgic for his childhood and intrigued by its unusual color, he decided to buy it.

Back home, Chris turned on the DS and started exploring its contents. To his surprise, he found a series of photos stored on the device. The pictures featured a young woman, her smiling face framed by long, dark hair. She was standing in front of a charming, old-fashioned house, with a garden full of blooming flowers. There was something captivating about her smile that Chris couldn't shake.

Over the next few days, curiosity got the best of him. He couldn't stop thinking about the girl in the photos. Who was she? Where was that house? Determined to find out more, Chris embarked on a digital quest, scouring social media and various forums for any clues that might lead him to her.

He spent countless hours going down rabbit holes, searching through profiles, cross-referencing details, and analyzing the background in the photos. He even joined local community groups online, hoping someone might recognize the house or the girl.

Finally, after weeks of searching, Chris stumbled upon a small gardening blog that featured the same house from the photos. The blog belonged to a woman named Lisa, who wrote extensively about her love for gardening. In one of her posts, there was a mention of her daughter, y/n—the girl from the pictures.

With a name to go on, Chris’s search intensified. He found y/n's social media profiles and learned more about her. She seemed like a genuinely kind and interesting person, which only fueled his obsession. Chris knew he had crossed a line, but he felt compelled to see her in person.

One day, he decided to visit the house. Armed with the address he had pieced together from various clues, Chris drove to the quaint neighborhood and parked a few houses away. His heart pounded as he walked up to the front door.

As he raised his hand to knock, the door suddenly swung open, revealing y/n's father, a stern-looking man with a protective air about him. Chris barely had time to introduce himself before the man pulled a gun, pointing it directly at him.

“Who are you, and what do you want?” the man demanded, his voice shaking with anger.

Chris’s hands shot up in a gesture of surrender. “I’m sorry, sir! I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to meet y/n.”

y/n appeared behind her father, her eyes wide with shock. “Dad, please, put the gun down. Let’s hear what he has to say.”

Reluctantly, her father lowered the gun but kept it in hand, his eyes never leaving Chris. Chris quickly explained how he had come across the DS and the photos, and how his curiosity had spiraled into a need to meet y/n.

“I know it sounds crazy,” Chris said, his voice trembling. “But I just couldn’t get you out of my mind. I had to meet you.”

y/n's father didn’t seem convinced. “You need to leave, now.”

Before Chris could respond, the sound of sirens filled the air. A neighbor had called the police upon seeing the confrontation. Within minutes, officers arrived and assessed the situation. After hearing both sides of the story, they arrested y/n's father for brandishing a firearm and threatening Chris.

As he was led away, y/n's father turned to Chris with a warning look. “Stay away from my daughter.”

Chris stood there, feeling a mix of guilt and relief. He hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. y/n, despite everything, stepped forward, her eyes softening.

“I’m sorry about my dad,” she said quietly. “He’s just very protective.”

Chris nodded, feeling remorseful. “I’m sorry too. I never should have gone this far. I just… I couldn’t help it.”

y/n gave him a small smile. “Maybe next time, just send a message?”

Chris chuckled nervously. “Yeah, lesson learned.”

But as Chris walked away, something darker began to take root in his mind. He couldn't shake the obsession he had developed for y/n. Despite the confrontation and the arrest, he wasn't ready to give up.

Later that night, back home with his brothers, Matt and Nick, Chris shared everything that had happened. He confessed his feelings for y/n and his desperate need to know more about her.

“I can’t let this go,” Chris said, his voice filled with a disturbing intensity. “I need to know everything about her.”

Matt and Nick exchanged uneasy glances but eventually agreed to help their brother. They took turns driving by y/n's house, discreetly observing her comings and goings, documenting everything. They followed her to work, took note of her friends, and even began to monitor her social media activity more closely.

Every evening, they reported back to Chris, who listened intently, his obsession growing deeper with each passing day. He filled notebooks with details about y/n's life, creating a disturbing portrait of a girl who had no idea she was being watched so closely.

As the days turned into weeks, Chris’s fixation became all-consuming. His brothers, though increasingly uncomfortable with the situation, continued to support him out of a misplaced sense of loyalty.

One night, while reviewing the latest information from Matt and Nick, Chris felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. He had successfully embedded himself into y/n's life without her ever knowing. But even that wasn't enough. His obsession demanded more.

And so, the dark spiral continued, pulling Chris deeper into a web of secrecy and deception, his actions driven by a dangerous infatuation that showed no signs of waning.
