#not sure if i talked about this here yet but I'm a recovering nail/cuticle biter#and last fall i started getting gel manicures to incentivize me to stop so i wouldnt be wasting my money lol#and it WORKED. because i got really really into nail and cuticle care#so now my nails are grown out and my nail beds have completely reattached#i have normal nails now and you could never tell i used to demolish them#i spent my ENTIRE LIFE with stubby little bitten nails and gross ripped up dried cuticles#and now i have BEAUTIFUL natural nails#except for the damage i accumulated from the gel removal over seven months lolllllll#so recently i stopped getting gel and i switched to regular lacquer#at first i was still going in to my nail tech but then i started taking the polish off in between appointments and practicing on my own#and in just a couple weeks i was good enough that i just stopped going in!#i just do my own nails now!!!#it takes me four hours to do it right lmao but its worth it because it's been a week and they're still perfect#only one tiny chip and NO LIFTING#im gonna take it off and redo it with a new color today because I'm bored of this color#but i could probably keep wearing this for another week and it'd hold up#I can't take all the credit because I'm using the Dazzle Dry system and just switching out the color with ILNP lol#Dazzle Dry is another fucking level omg#but anyway. I'm proud of myself#my nails look just as good as when i was getting them done professionally 馃槶#i am NOT a girly girl i don't wear makeup or shave a single part of my body#i get my hair cut specifically in a way that requires minimal styling#so the nail obsession isn't something anyone would have expected from me...#and yet my nails are always immaculate nowadays 馃拝

chan x gn!reader | drabble | wc: 0.5k
| based off the most recent skz talker and the fact that i cannot paint my own nails 馃槶馃槶
Tumblr media
chan loves to help you paint your nails.
you are sitting on the sofa, chewing on your lip in concentration. in your non-dominant hand, you shakily hold the brush, attempting to make the paint come out smooth and professional. you would've gotten them done at a nail salon, but you've just been so busy...and what was so hard about doing it yourself? hell, if your boyfriend did his own, you'd be fine.
you are, in fact, not fine, because it looks like the remnants of a paintball massacre are splayed over your hands. it is so damn frustrating.
"baby, i'm home!" chan says eagerly, throwing open the door. "god, today was so long...i'm so happy to be home with you."
he sees you on the couch and absolutely melts. he hasn't even noticed your dismay. his coffee-colored eyes are swimming with adoration. just seeing you, even for a minute or two, is enough to make his day.
he sets his things down swiftly, coming to bombard you with kisses, but stops abruptly when you try your best to signal that your hands are full and your nails are far from dry. instead, he settles for using one hand to maneuver your head so he can press a soft kiss to your lips.
it's gentle and romantic, and he savors the display of intimacy until it feels like eons have passed by, and his long eyelashes flutter open and a dazzling smile stretches across his face. his lips part, as if he's about to bless you with some lovely hymn, and then his eyes fall to your hands, splattered with nail polish.
his trademark squeaky laugh can be heard reverberating through the home.
"awww, do you need some help?" he giggles, his hands trailing down your body until he reaches your own hands, and he takes the brush from you. "may i?"
here you are now, sitting cross-legged on the floor across from chan as he expertly paints your nails one by one, blowing on them when needed and using a small cotton swab to dab at the parts that he messed up on. once he's done, he admires his work.
"absolutely lovely. it's so good on you, babe." he compliments wholeheartedly, leaning in to place a quick peck upon your nose. "i mean...you can pull off everything, since you're so stunning. so damn ethereal. but this is just your color, you know?"
you look away, knowing you're getting flustered by his words.
"hey, keep those pretty eyes on me." he murmurs, his arm wrapping around you, his hand rubbing gentle circles upon your soft skin. "we still have to paint mine so we can match!"

heyyy it鈥檚 me again馃槗
i love ur writing sorryy馃槶 whenever it鈥檚 more convenient for you tho could i ask for yan zhongli (im obsessed with that man omfg), ayato and pantalone (again im obsessed w him sorry馃) with a darling who is like, super high-maintenance? for an example they need to have their hair and nails done or they REFUSE(including them) to go near anyone because they think they don鈥檛 look good enough
stay safe, take breaks and make sure u are healthy above everything tho!!馃挆
-馃悮
so i've never been into any of the hair and nails stuff (got my nails done professionally once in middle school, got sick of em after a week and ripped em all off) so i don't know how correct the lingo is, i kinda just went based off what i know from my sister, so i hope you enjoy :D
Tumblr media
Warning: this post contains yandere-themes, including a small bit of delusional behavior, a small bit of obsessive behaviors, no specific pronouns used for the reader but a lot of mentions of reader having their hair/nails/lashes being done, and the rest is just sorta soft. Please read at your own risk!
Yandere!Zhongli, if you think this man has the mora to pay for anything you鈥檙e funny. There is an upside to this though, while he can鈥檛 pay to have you get your nails and hair done, or your lashes or for whatever else you wanna get, he can learn to do it for you. Hair and lashes take him a while as they can be more finicky but nails he picks up instantly. Not only is it cheaper but you can describe to him exactly what you want and he鈥檒l be able to do it because he understands you and knows what you mean when you describe things. Plus you don鈥檛 have to worry about looking good when you get them done, you can just hang around in your pajamas until everything is finished.
Zhongli listened as you described the design you wanted on your nails, sorting through the assortment of polishes he had collected over his time with you. He鈥檇 do anything to please you, and while he couldn鈥檛 pay for the things you loved, he could certainly learn to do it for you. He understood wanting to maintain a certain image to the public but he鈥檒l always insist that you look your best when you鈥檙e just you. When your hair hasn鈥檛 been done in a while, no fake lashes, and when your nails are just painted, no extra things on it. He doesn鈥檛 mind appearances, finding that he鈥檚 lived too long to base his relationship off something as simple as that, but he does appreciate both sides of you. While he鈥檒l gladly chat about things while he does your nails or gossip while he does your hair, he鈥檒l occasionally remind you that regardless of how you look, he鈥檚 always going to love you.
Yandere!Ayato is on top of it, like he schedules and pays for everything. He hires only the best and has them come to you, so that you can get the proper treatment you deserve in the comfort of the Kamisato Estate. You have personal stylists who do your nails, your hair, lashes, wardrobe updates, anything you want and they can do it. They also have some of the hottest gossip about the happenings in Inazuma, giving a proper salon treatment everytime they鈥檙e around.
You weren鈥檛 sure how Ayato made time to always schedule your appointments and such, keeping more on top of them than you did some days, but you weren鈥檛 about to complain about it. Your nail tech and hair stylist were amazing at their jobs, catering to your every whim and doing a phenomenal job at that, like they were born for this kind of work. The stories they brought with them were always just as great, the latest happenings around the city and the nation as a whole, who was doing what now and such on and so forth. Ayato would come to check in on you occasionally throughout your appointment, checking that everything was going well. And of course, when it鈥檚 done he expects you to come to his office and show off. He doesn鈥檛 care if you interrupt anything, to him you鈥檙e his top priority always. Plus he loves to see his darling all dolled up, feeling like the prettiest person in all of Inazuma. In his opinion, you always are, dolled up or not.
Yandere!Pantalone appreciates your intense take on your looks as appearances are a huge thing in his line of work, both on the business aspect and the intimidation aspect. He wants people to see that his accumulated wealth doesn鈥檛 go to waste, that he didn鈥檛 work for nothing. No, he uses his mass amount of mora to spoil his beloved, someone he has no problem writing checks or opening his wallet for. Anyone else can mind their own, his money is yours. The only downside to this is that he鈥檚 a horribly busy man, he鈥檒l find whatever stylists you want and find some way to bring them to the Palace so you can have your appointments in the security of the Harbingers, but it鈥檚 up to you to schedule the appointments and keep track of when you鈥檒l need to see them again. Just make sure you tell him when they are when you go to flaunt your new hairstyle and nail鈥檚 to him.
Pantalone鈥檚 soft smile spread just a bit farther across his face as you came bounding into his office, a bright smile of your own. You had just gotten your hair done and nails touched up and he could tell you were back to feeling like yourself again. While he appreciated all your looks and sides, he loved seeing you smiling and happy, and if that meant spending all this money for you to get pampered, he didn鈥檛 mind. He didn鈥檛 understand a lot of the words you used as you described what they did to your hair and nails, but he happily listened anyway, his delicate smile never faltering as you retold the whole chain of events. Even if his smile was often for show, when you were around it was never more genuine. He holds your hands in his larger, gloved ones as he looks over your nails, his fingers lightly tracing over the designs with an amused glimmer in his eyes. You were certainly something, and he intended to keep that bright light of yours shining.

Novel I have the funniest story
So I have Discord, right? And recently, my mobile Discord notifications haven't been sending. I don't know why, I have all the permissions turned on, but it won't work鈥攚hatever, right? As long as I check my phone regularly, right?
And it's been a really good day! I got the highest grade on my essay, I totally nailed a presentation, I made my favorite soup for dinner鈥攁 great day. It's around 6:50 PM and I'm cradling my soup in one hand on the couch, just relaxing from the day. It's my first break from homework for a while, and I'm enjoying it. I decide to share the positivity in one of my group chats on Discord with my close friends. So I send "@everyone love you" and I close Discord, thinking nothing else. I finish my soup, I do the dishes, and I go upstairs to play some video games on my computer.
All the while, I haven't checked my phone. I don't have Discord open on my PC, and I've been trying to cut my hours on my phone to focus on the real world (aka touching grass). I play a game, and while I'm waiting for another player to take their turn, I check my phone because I'm bored.
Strangely, I have one notification. I don't recognize what app it's from, but it looks like a text or call. I unlock my phone to check and find out it's my friend Catherine calling me on Whatsapp. Strange, right? We only use Whatsapp for sending videos that are too big for other applications and for when my internet kills Discord. (For context, Catherine is my best friend and basically the Novel to my Ritz. Also, my wifi is awful鈥攑robably why I've been struggling to receive notifications)
I think the call is weird, especially since there were no Whatsapp texts accompanying it. I try to call Catherine back, but she doesn't pick up. I reason as to why she did it鈥攎ost likely I didn't respond to Discord fast enough so she tried to get my attention elsewhere. That makes sense, we do it all the time to each other. So I go and check Discord.
It opens to the channel I left it on, where I pinged my friends and told them love you. I notice I had 6 DMS, but I noticed my friends had replied and I was curious to see how they were. had already forgotten I did that, to be honest, so I go and read the responses. Let me just:
(Cami)
@everyone love you
(Raven)
LOVE YOU TOO
(Jasper)
love you too
(Slyvie)
You're the best! :)
(Raven)
Why the random love you tho?
(Sylvie)
Yeah, that confused me a bit too
(Raven)
Cam whats goin on?? Why the random love you?
And suddenly, it hits me why Catherine called.
And my first thought is: oh my god, they do not think I killed myself.
I open my DMs to Catherine, and sure enough I see: "are things mostly okay Cami? You haven't marked off anything from your accountability list, and there was the message you sent in the groupchat. I'm a little worried."
And I just go: OH MY FUCKING GOD THEY THINK I KILLED MYSELF.
Which is literally the worst way you could ever respond to "love you" with, by the way
Anyway, I explained what happened and now it's going to be an inside joke with the group. I literally despise my friends, theyre the best馃槶馃槶馃槶

Hey Jo!!
Do you get your nails done?
I'm not a girly girl, so I've never wore make up (unless face paint for Halloween or something) I don't feel like I need to, just look at my profile pic just a little spot treatment on the random pimple, and I'm good! But I've also never liked nail polish on my nails it's always been uncomfy for my hands, I always feel the polish like I have weights on my finger tips. (I also used to be a nail biter.) But my cousin came over the other day and she had french tip nails and they looked so pretty!! I always loved the French tip. So I went a picked up a pack of fake French tip nails, and I put them on, and I instantly fell in love with them!!!!
Back to my point, do you get your nails done professionally, or do you just do polish (gel or otherwise) at home?
And if not ignore me like I normally say!!!
And let me say Bakugou would be all over me, and having me scratch his back or head with these nails!!!
(I'm also jealous that you work in a bookstore, I wanna work in one, but idk if the one near me is hiring!!!)
Hope you are having a good week so far!!!
Courtney! Even on anon I still knew this was you!馃槝馃槀馃挄
I鈥檓 super super lazy so I don鈥檛 get my nails done as much as I鈥檇 like to! I polish at home when I can be bothered but I normally only get my nails done for when I鈥檓 going on holiday now. But I hate acrylics so I usually only get gel on my natural nails! I just feel like fake nails feel weird? Like when you鈥檙e scratching yourself or like trying to do shit I can never get used to the feeling?
But oh my god Bakugou (and Kiri) would absolutely love you leaving marks down their backs. It鈥檚 even more reason why they insist on paying for your appointments and they get so excited when you let them pick out the colour.
Ahh see if they鈥檙e applying! It鈥檚 fun but admin is so long馃槶馃拃馃槀

t鈥檚 astro observations pt. 3馃尀
hello everyone! ik some of these may not resonate or be accurate (i鈥檓 not a professional astrologer), pls take everything with a grain of salt and enjoy馃槍 these are just personal observations!
i鈥檝e noticed that cancer rising men usually have big noses and bright skin
whyyy do tauruses like hitting ppl when they laugh馃槶literally i stiff up around my taurus friends when they laugh bc they just start throwing hands馃拃this can apply to any taurus placement (mostly sun tho)
north node in 1H or conjunct asc makes it VERY easy for these people to be held accountable for any bad actions they have done. or they鈥檙e usually accused of things they鈥檝e never done. the aspect of instant karma (in my opinion)
aquarius moons usually take FOREVER to reply to texts or they literally don鈥檛 reply at all馃槶
i noticed that whenever cancer midheavens have pets they loveee posting about their pet
libra risings can be one of the cockiest mfs out馃槶 unless indicated otherwise in their chart
having cancer or libra/taurus rule your 3rd house or venus in the 3rd house can indicate having really soft hands & long nails
leo sun with virgo mercury combo makes an opinionated a$$ person馃拃. however, i do notice that we usually do shut up & listen to what others have to say. its bc we can never be wrong, we鈥檙e willing to change our mind to what鈥檚 right.
another thing i鈥檝e noticed with this combo is that we tend to just say whatever out of ignorance, there鈥檚 a lack in thinking before speaking especially if mercury is RX in the natal chart
capricorn mercuries talk sh!t on EVERYTHING & EVERYONE. including their friends. its most likely due to their judgmental & critical nature. they don鈥檛 really realize that either, they fr just talk sh!t naturally (especially if underdeveloped)
mars in the 7th house can indicate always having enemies. ppl with this placement tend to be quite sensitive and can be really confrontational - ultimately leading to enemies
moon in the 7th house may indicate putting your entire heart into the people you love. a beautiful placement imo. it can indicate lots of changes in relationships though, and can indicate someone who is constantly catering to those around them and unfortunately dealing with people who don鈥檛 reciprocate the same energy as them. it鈥檚 important for these people to make sure that they don鈥檛 have one sided relationships (if you do, try your best to detach from it and let it go)
capricorns usually have a good taste in style/fashion. capricorn placements all have their own unique style but pull it off SO WELL. this includes midheaven!!
aquarius risings don鈥檛 all look like aliens BUT their eyes are always just 馃憗馃憗 STARING WITHOUT BLINKING & sometimes they widen their eyes like 馃槼 but like they鈥檙e not blushing鈥ust staring鈥idely
aries placements take EVERYTHING as competition. something that you wouldn鈥檛 expect to have competition, an aries placement will figure out a way for there to be one. i鈥檝e noticed that they don鈥檛 realize it too馃槄
virgo risings actually love talking on social media and expressing their thoughts A LOT. a placement that is most likely to make a finsta/spam acc
neptune in the 10th or pisces in the 11th can indicate friends and family coming to you for advice. usually it鈥檚 spiritual advice, like what crystals mean or how to do tarot, how to interpret different tarot cards, etc. (only if those are things that the native takes interest in ofc)
mars in the 5h can indicate feeling ashamed and embarrassed whenever no one praises them when they express themselves
lilith in the 2h can indicate being really uptight with money and always seeking ways to get free money, could also have a habit of stealing or taking things without asking. may also be guilty of overspending
cancer placements tend to have dimples
saturn in the 3H may indicate teeth/dental issues and/or crooked teeth
mercury opposite uranus may deal with people frequently questioning their intelligence or the things they say (especially if mercury is retrograde)
neptune in the 10H may come across ppl who either project their issues onto them, or ppl who idolize them and see them as innocent & to be cared for. this placement can make someone feel like they are able to let ppl down easily with their true selves
scorpio mercuries tend to keep alot to themselves usually by accident and if you get them to talk and be comfortable they can reveal things abt themselves that you would鈥檝e never guessed abt them
And that鈥檚 it!
thanks for reading!! see you in another few months馃拃 i literally haven鈥檛 posted since september on here but byeeee ttyl
