#iris dye

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Is there more stuff about George's mom? Also later when you get everything more hammered out will you tag posts by character names or have a master list?

I've got some more art of her if that counts as anything! :3

Iris isn't actively involved in most of the story because she's busy working behind the scenes to provide George and Lapis with enough hairdye to keep their "disguises" up. Also running an underground business with a bunch of Dragons and Spiders takes a lot of time and energy and she lives a hectic life even when there isn't a war going on

I probably won't make the effort to add character tags for the RK world, but I am planning to have a master list at some point! when I have the time to organize something like that! <3

Current sample sheets and a couple pics of the liquid i've been using as watercolor, all extracted from purple iris or common violet in slightly different ways, and pH altered to give different colors due to anthocyanins (which i have been reading a bunch about and they ended up being a lot more complex than expected, and deserve their own text-heavy post, this is merely a pretty pictures post to prove i'm alive)

I love your Iris and Dahlia concepts for your ace avian au! But I have one question. How does Phoenix not notice "Dahlia's" wing colour change? Does Iris tell him a bad excuse he accepts because he's too much of a simp to question her? Does she temporary dye her wings to match Dahlia's or do you have another idea?

i think i explained this briefly in the og post, but I'll expand on it a bit here!~~

While there are ways of getting feathers to a (close to) pure white color, it is difficult. (i.e. bleach turns them golden). The Hawthornes assumed getting the necklace back would be quick, so Iris deemed it unnecessary to go through the trouble. (oh how they were mistaken)

Instead, she paints her feathers. I imagine with a spray paint, similar to ones that exist for hair. The paint washes away in water and has a noticable texture (for the sake of this world though, it's unnoticable just via eyesight).

(Bit of worldbuilding for context:) Touching/grooming someone's wings shows a strong bond. (This can be platonic, familial, or romantic.) However, for romantic partners, it's usually considered more intimate than something like kissing. Iris ofc doesn't want Phoenix to know she's been painting her feathers. (Phoenix is a boundary respecting king) (pls pretend i drew the necklace i forgor >.<)

Phoenix trusts her completely. The guilt Iris feels over the deceipt and inability to reciprocate leads her to always wear gloves when touching his wings.

Maybe he does eventually touch her wings near the end of it all, if only by accident, even. Maybe he brings it up with her, and she makes up some excuse about "I thought you'd think less of me if you knew my natural color". (he ofc says he wouldn't care). Phoenix never gets to see her real wing color though, before everything with Doug Swallow...

(And maybe, as Dahlia is carted off to prison, Phoenix brushes her wingtip, but he doesn't feel the paint..)

Percabeth after the first war, who haven’t really gotten to be teenagers, who feel both too old and too young for their skin. Who are so so glad that the war is over, but also feel surprisingly lost, because fighting the war has been their future, their purpose, their job for as long as they can really remember

Annabeth and Percy, who do what all adrift teens do when everything is overwhelming and painful and exciting and when it feels like you don’t have a purpose any more:

they make a bucket list.

it starts small. They go clothes shopping together, close enough to Sally’s house that they can get home quick if they need too. They start to develop their own senses of style. They go to a farmers market. They make graffiti at one point and nearly get caught but the entire time they’re giggling through their fingers.

then comes the hair.

it was just a random item on the bucket list: hair dye.

and they were going to get crazy colors, Percy was going to dye his bright teal blue, no hesitation. He was decided. But then they’re standing in the shopping aisle, looking at the colorful boxes, and Percy’s eyes catch on a model, and they have long dark hair that’s just the same shade as Annabeth’s.

and he scans the aisle, and there’s another one, a bright sandy gold, and he turns to Annabeth, who is debating between silver and purple with all the intensity of a teenage war veteran, and says “I have a stupid idea”

they grab a boxed bleach on their way out.

they dye their hair together, and it’s a mess and the dye gets everywhere and it’s not quite even and both of them get a little light headed from the fumes but it’s so much fun

and they refuse to let anyone in the bathroom until their hair is dyed, rinsed and blow dried even though it takes forever because bleaching is a much longer process

when they finally emerge, Sally gasps and then starts to laugh and then Paul joins in and then they’re all laughing.

Percy’s hair is black, Annabeth’s hair is blond.

They’ve switched hair colors. And it’s silly, but it’s also a constant reminder that they’re not alone.

It’s being able to wake up from a nightmare and seeing blond hair on your pillow instead of black and thinking “Percy”. It’s having a bad day where you can’t seem to keep your mind from slipping away from you, then seeing black hair in the corner of your vision and thinking “Annabeth”. It’s a tangible sign that they are connected, that they are alive, and that there is someone who understands. A physical reminder of love.

When their roots grow out, they look at their inverted hair and smile. Like always, they match.

So, do we think the Hawthorne twins are completely identical except for their hair color or do we think one of them dyes it?

Day 18: Swap

Although I thought about doing an universe swap with Alyssa/Charlotte and Maggie/Irina (basically a demon/human AU), I simply decided to do a hair swap for Mag and Iri because I've been kinda busy just taking care of myself :] I really really liked how this one turned out!!

“You’re a heart attack in black hair dye!”

I always go back to black. I had my natural hair color for a few years out of fear of rejection or the potential of having to cut my hair due to damage. I decided to say fuck it. I’m going to be myself and NO ONE can tell me otherwise. Next up- piercings! Fuck whatever everyone else!

I tried to be everyone else. Having bpd makes me put on a mask to mimic whomever is around me. I tried boho, pastel, soft, clean, and even Adam Sandler. I always miss my alternative look. I don’t really know who I am- but maybe everything I’ve tried is a part of me. I’m left uncertain- however this is what it is right now.

I’m still a book worm- my favorite being dark romance/fantasy as of right now. My chemical romance will still and always be my favorite band. Art and poetry still have a firm grip on my heart.

Still a change of look and pace will always be good even if I’m terrified of it.

That last dye didn't work, so this shit better set or I'ma be pissed.

I may have bought too much fabric for the plushies I'm working on but that just means I can make more of them than I originally planned

Glamour Plate 1: Ishgardian Gown

My very first glamour plate! I clearly didn't have anything to put on my hands or head, but I kind of liked how the gauntlets looked with the dress. I also don't think I had anything on my legs or feet 😅 So basically, this plate was:

Body: Ishgardian Gown, Iris Purple Dye

And otherwise, my level 80 Paladin armor was showing.

I learned that /gpose existed while I was trying and failing to take in-game shots, so that's what I used for the first and last picture in this post, but I didn't really know what I was doing, so there are no lighting effects or anything.

I originally made this plate on August 12, 2023. These screenshots were taken August 27, 2023 in FFXIV. All of them have been cropped, and any UI elements have been blurred. They are otherwise unedited. The game is very pretty!
