#hair tie ask

[okamirayne]

Rayne, last episode was awesome!! Just here to remind you that your work is loved by everyone! Shipps in fandom tend to have a person, yk, that internet usser that opens people's eyes and teaches them about a rarepair like its a master class. For me, you are that person. 💗💗 You've done a lot for the shikaneji community, I don't know a single person that ships them and doesn't know about you! You kinda inspired me to learn english years ago because I'd just straight up translate everything with the google translator extension 😂 It's been years since then, and now I read the btb series comfortably in its native language. And there's where I have to ask you something: To celebrate the new HHU's chapter, I'm rereading the whole BtB series. I'm currently in Requiem, but something it's been in my head making noise enough for me to come here and ask you! In Break to Breath, chapter 28, I think they're in Hanegakure and the boys did what hot traumatized boys do... However they're woken up next morning and it is said that Sikamaru tied up his hair with Neji's tie, what Neji did with his hair wasn't mentioned so I always thought that they used each other's ties from then on... Until the very end. Because during the war, Neji isn't using a hairtie, maybe he didn't want to lose it and he save it along Shikamaru's note.

It's never explicitly stated that they got their hairties back, so my favorite headcanon (having people creating headcanons over your fanfic? ur the GOAT) about BtB has allways been that Shikamaru didn't give Neji his hair tie back, and viceversa.

Like when you have a partner in real life and, well, you cannot make a public statement about being together o maybe you cannot see them everyday, so (if you have long hair) you give them your hair tie for them to use in their wrist or properly in their head.

To summarize, what are your thoughts on this? 👀

It's been a while since I last reread the series, so I don't remember this fact being brought up again, at least it wasn't ever mentioned again in Btb nor OtC. Hair ties are mentioned again, but not this. So I live in delulu and imagine them playing with the hairties when they feel lonely/sad. However if it indeed was, then I'm blind and I'm reallyyyy sorry you had to read this 😭

Again, I sincerely love you and the works put online, they're masterpieces and, knowing about the author's block you suffered these years, I hope you're not pressuring yourself on writing! I think we will always wait for you, wheter its BtB universe or your original works 💗

English it's not my first language so I'm sorry if you encouter trouble reading this! xoxo

Sweet Anon 💗💗

Please forgive me if I struggle to find the right words - always a challenge when I am hit so hard by the mega-feels that I'm reduced to a puddle of pure emotion...

There is so much I am thankful for in your beautiful message. The reassurance and kindness of welcoming me back onto the writing stage after such a crippling absence. The sweetness of your incredibly high praise and regard for my work, and the intense combination of humbleness and amazement, learning that you came into the BtB story via Google Translator and took a chance on a fic not in your native language. THANK YOU, for giving my mad story that opportunity, time, investment, and love. I am so touched that the fic gave you traction regarding learning English and that you can enjoy the fic in his native language. Thank you for crossing that language barrier to read my work...again, I'll never not be humbled by that...💗

Thank You for Every Single Word of Kindness and for the monumental love and support your message has contained. I'm so, so touched and so very thankful 💜❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

To celebrate the new HHU's chapter, I'm rereading the whole BtB series.

Aww! I sincerely hope you enjoy the ride once again, sweetie. 🙏🏼

Regarding your question about the hair ties!

[...]...and it is said that Sikamaru tied up his hair with Neji's tie, what Neji did with his hair wasn't mentioned so I always thought that they used each other's ties from then on... Until the very end. Because during the war, Neji isn't using a hairtie, maybe he didn't want to lose it and he save it along Shikamaru's note. [..] It's never explicitly stated that they got their hairties back, so my favorite headcanon (having people creating headcanons over your fanfic? ur the GOAT) about BtB has allways been that Shikamaru didn't give Neji his hair tie back, and viceversa.

Oh I do love where your headcanon has gone.

To summarize, what are your thoughts on this?

I can confidently say, it's a yes. Insofar as Neji allowing Shikamaru to keep his tie when Shikamaru's goes pinging off into the bowels of whatever place they're ravaging each other in...although, I won't lie and say there aren't a few instances where one or the other fight over the last hair tie...

Of course, said fight for the almighty hair tie is always instigated by Shikamaru absolutely refusing to be caught with his hair down, whereas Neji doesn't particularly care, unless he needs it tied back for practical reasons, in which case...may the best genius win. Good luck. 😂

So I live in delulu and imagine them playing with the hairties when they feel lonely/sad. However if it indeed was, then I'm blind and I'm reallyyyy sorry you had to read this 😭

OMG don't apologise! I loved reading this 💗. I'm so happy your mind plays in the BtB madness and again, there's truth to the hair tie sharing (Neji doing the sharing lol and Shikamaru the stealing)

Again, I sincerely love you and the works put online, they're masterpieces and, knowing about the author's block you suffered these years, I hope you're not pressuring yourself on writing! I think we will always wait for you, wheter its BtB universe or your original works 💗

I love and appreciate you in return, dear Anon. BtB would not have happened - would not STILL be happening, if not for the kindness of readers reaching out to share their thoughts, feelings, feedback etc. on the work. You make it possible for me to do it. And for all the words I could ever hope to possess, none of them will ever adequately describe or encompass the enormity of the gratitude, joy, healing, and love I feel hearing from you. 🥰

I honest to gods have no words when it comes to my Original Works and your interest in them...I am just an utterly melted heart, spilling all over the floor of emotion at this point....and I thank you for that beautiful mess and the peace, joy, inspiration, motivation, and reassurance it grants me...bless you, sweetheart. 🫶🏼

Thank you also for your compassion towards my burnout and for the reminder to not pressure myself. Coming with so much sincere love and support, it soothes that awful workaholic and over-thinking streak that has my brain on non-stop and constant insomniac spin. The simultaneous stillness and sky-high floaty feeling I get from your message is a beautiful little cocktail that chills me the hell out when I need it most...and I needed it today, whilst eyeing Chapter 9. 😉😅

English it's not my first language so I'm sorry if you encouter trouble reading this! xoxo

Holy heck, are you kidding me? *bows down in respect* If I tried to write in another language, I would butcher it so hard there'd be no recovering at all. You are fluent, my lovely - coherent and awesome. The only trouble I encountered reading your message was trying to keep my heart from detonating in my chest from the overload of feelings. 💜💜 I thank you for that. It beats the hella insane nerves that eat at me as I return to writing. There's so much heart and healing to be found in this message that I'm sincerely at a loss now....thank you, so, so much.

Huge, HUGE love coming at you from all sides, sweetheart. 🥰

Thinking about the fact that Zuko has had every possible hairstyle Katara could have ever been into (from bald to long hair). He wields dual swords like Jet. He is a powerful bender as the fortune teller intended. He acts as a "vigilante of sorts" like Jet did. He can be a puppy like Haru. He can be a badass like Jet. Truly the most versatile ever. He's the 1000 in 1 boyfriend fr.

Not to mention the parallels with her ofc, if we're going to consider Blue Spirit x Painted Lady shenanigans, the mommy issues, the dry sense of humor, the nerdiness, the sense of responsibility... All things that match Her regardless of her possible interests in romantic partners. It's just too amusing to me.

My dude was truly dedicated to the cause. I salute him.

Thoughts on Akesumi?

not my cup of tea romantically but i do love their platonic dynamic

[bookwor-mmm]

I’d like to think that during the short pause between Glenjaminorhoweveryouspellit going down and the crowd cheering Karmor had this kind of ‘..omg i actually did it ??’ moment… so i drew it yaya

ALSO I KINDA STRUGGLED WITH DRAWING ALBUS BUT I LOVE HIM I HOPE I DID HIM JUSTICE

What kind of haircut does the emperor have??👀

the emperor, yongsun, has long, straight dark hair that reaches midback! he usually keeps it in a simple, loose braid that is tied off with a coloured silk ribbon.

this is very different from the usual hairstyle for men in hae - his hairstyle is closer to that of an unmarried woman. as for why he chose it... it's practical and he likes the way that it looks. it's all about the ��aesthetic✨, you know? only the emperor could get away with doing something like this.

the empress has her hair in twin braids that are done up into a bun, held up by hairpins with dragon or floral motifs. her hairdo is that resembling a married woman, which stresses the nobles out to no end since they need her to get married as quickly as possible. she likes it that way.

quick haeian fashion guide below!

unmarried men: either keep their hair up in simple ponytails (like hansol or wooyoung), half-up half-down (like insu)

married men: keep their hair up in topknots, held in place with small metal ornaments with the optional headband as decoration

unmarried women: hair left down in a long plait. some women get creative by intertwining more than one braid, or by bunning up certain portions of their hair and letting the rest down, or leaving some parts loose. usually decorated with simple ornaments in bright colours

married women: hair done in a braid before being put up in a bun and held in place with accessories such as hairpins.

I’m really confused as to my gender, I’m afab and want to look physically androgynous, like no curves and flatish chest and all that, but I like dressing fem, I love wearing skirts and dresses and doing my hair cute, but I want to be referred to with he/him pronouns and I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I can’t say I’m trans masc because I’m not masc, I’ll see amab gender non conforming people on social media and I wish I liked like them so much, I wish I was born a guy because I think I would be so much more comfortable dressing fem if I looked more masc, and I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’m faking it and like I’m being transphobic because I’m afab and I want to look like amab trans people

hi ! hello !!

first things first: There Is Nothing Wrong With You. at all. there is Nothing Wrong with you.

there's been a lot of conformity discussions recently and i personally hate them. i dislike the notion that to be trans you HAVE to pass as a cisgender (ofc if can want to then you can do so! absolutely!) but we are not here to be put into boxes, the whole point is that these boxes are too rigid. human identity and human existence cannot be condescended down into "feminine or masculine", and you are not doing anything wrong by exploring that !!

i change my presentation a lot! and the one consistent thing? i'm robyn and i'm a trans man. whether makeup is on or not or whether i'm in a 3xl hoodie or a lacy crop top - i am robyn, and i'm a trans man. my gender *presentation* is fluid, but my gender *identity* isn't and there's a big difference between the two things for me.

and i'll let you in on a lil secret here: i knew way before. i had long hair past my shoulders, it was dyed black on one side and purple on the other, i wore massive eyeliner and massive false lashes and i left the house with lots of jewellery and with this one white dress that i wore with fishnets and a corset -> i knew then that he/him was best for me, and it took me so long to verbalise that because it felt wrong. i felt like i was faking it. but i was just as much a trans man then as i am now.

if you are feeling this, then you are not faking it.

if you are questioning this, then you are allowed to explore it.

and if you do not fit into these predetermined boxes? you're still not faking it.

you don't have to conform to a set of rules to be trans or trans masc or any identity - your gender identity is yours and yours alone, and whatever feels right for you is Right, regardless of abstract terminology or conformity 🫂🫂

there is nothing wrong with you, i can promise you that right now. all of this is so completely valid <33 you are allowed to exist in whatever way makes you feel most comfortable 💕💕 you can use he/him. you can use those, that's down to you and only you and the people who don't understand that are not the people you want around, but hi !! hello !! i'll be the first one to say that i understand, that i get it, and i accept it :)
