#people DO colour their hair

Note
@bluetoothgoof yeah, I think that feature was seen as particularly unremarkable, or at least "nothing special" to comment about, even in societies where dark hair is apparently ~supposed to be uncommon~ (is it really though?)
So, blunette discourse gets on here semi-regularly. This is not in support or against it, but something occurred to me that I think brings nuance to the matter.
The IRL hair colour identities are blond/blonde, brunet/brunette, and red-head. We don't even have an identifier for black-haired people despite it being an IRL hair colour (which is why this scentence is structured oddly).
This means that there is literally no existing system to fit unnatural hair colours in that isn't just adjectives. This cuts out that particular grammatical structure unless you create new words. You can write around this of course, but it seems rather odd and arbitrary that you have to.
Like... I can say "the blonde" or "the golden haired woman" which give off very different connotations, but I can only say "the pink haired woman"? And it would be an interesting feature of English not predicting rainbow hair dye... if the same complaint couldn't be made about black haired people. Why do people need to invent "ravenette" we should have come up with a term for that generations ago?
--
#i wonder how other languages handle this sort of thing tho#like#even in German you have blond; brünett; braun-haarig (basically brown haired in general); rot-haarig; schwarz-haarig and so on#so in German special colours would probably only get the 'blau/grün/rosa/whatever-haarig' treatment anyway#basically as it already does#people DO colour their hair#in funky colours#or wear wigs for cosplay#so yeah#bluenette and stuff like this is really just bad/immature writing I think#es sagt ja auch niemand 'gelb-haarig'

found a baby yaku amidst the Sketchbook-glitch-corruption wreckage..... wondering if he flipped skin tones between black and red and everything in between until he saw his to-be-grandparents (and started mimicking THEIR skin tone....... )
#thinking about yakumo having weird lil homunculus proportions or other such variations#what if he just always had massive hands compared to body size. yaoi hands from birth-transformation#he was so anti-snake that he looked at hands and said YES. THIS IS THE LEAST SNAKEY I CAN BE. I WILL GO 600% ON THIS FEATURE SPECIFICALLY#changing forms from entirely obsidian... or red in patches.... or striped... or other combinations...#because he only had murals to base his human form off of? at least at first?#were the murals in colour? shaded with gradients and lighting oh so conveniently?#then how was he to know what skin tone humans are supposed to have???#imagining the first few times he encountered his grandparents in his cave#maybe they only saw a shadow with eyes darting back into the darkness#just a really long black noodle with semisnake semihuman eyes (just a hint of sclera)#and every time they visited#yakumo observed more of their features#and took on something similar to their proportions...? or hair colour? or skin colour?#and maybe even when he's first adopted into the family and leaves the cave#he's still a vibrant pink and everyone thinks he somehow got sunburnt inside a cave or smth#but then he starts seeing all the other people in the village#including diff age groups and kids who are supposedly around his age#so he starts to slowly morph his body toward those characteristics#his skin gets beige-r. reshapes his eyes a bit.... grows a bit of nose.....lengthens his limbs a bit...#(the big humans seem to treat me the same as that speCIFIC group of smaller humans... so maybe i should use them as a Model)#like... how do you even age in a human body when you have no reference for how humans age?!??!#did yakumo stare at several children in the village and watch their growth year by year#and match his body to their changes just to fit in?#did nature just know what to do?? and he just naturally grew like a human without manual manipulation?#I DEMAND ANSWERS#nu carnival yakumo

hey!! can i ask for a color palatte description for the ro's? like what their hair/eye colors are?
hope you're having a good week 💙💙💙
Hi!
I spent a long time putting together a graphic for this before I realised that you asked for just a description haha... oops. well. here is the graphic anyway XD
If you're looking for a link to the page with more general descriptions, there are some on the RO's page.
Very sorry for the delay in replying! My life is. hectic. smdnfgbsfgf
#what does the chaos mirror see#twyliit#if you want to use these i'd recommend zooming in because some of them have detailing but unfortunately tumblr seems to have destroyed it#or at least hidden some of it in ensmallening#it was very difficult to find a shining silvery enough colour for suchebh's hair and eyes#and i regret i could not find an eye colour for twilit that captured the necessary distressing pastel neon toothpaste vibe i was seeking#i am not an artiste i'm afraid. i wish i could do proper ones of these with. undertones as such#but alas#also just rambling in the tags here for a bit but. i got an ask this morning accusing the game of being a scam#because it hasn't updated for ages#and like bro. scam... it's not like i took preorders msnbgsmdnfgb. i have to Laugh#once again deeply sorry to the small number of people concerned with how much my homelessness was an inconvenience For Them<3#finally got my life somewhat back on track after months of teetering on the edge of the abyss (rude of me not to spend it all writing)#but in service of getting my life back on track i'm studying. so that i can get a job later and continue to survive. again. Selfish. oops#and then my beloved cat died. and there just. isn't anything to keep going for anymore LMAO#but alas. so long as the music plays. we dance#and this game is part of the dancing for me. i guess. i still work on things when i have the time#hopefully you'll recover from my terrible circumstances<3

Had a bit too much fun when drawing a variety of dees, now according to my friend I’ve accidentally made a version of Dee that snuck straight out of dimension MAB-3L
#I think Dee should get brightly coloured hair as a treat#imagine her putting in those little fake coloured hair strands I forgot what they’re called for her birthday#and then remember what happened on her birthday. And then go cry in the corner#dayshift at freddy's#dee kennedy#dayshift at freddy’s#dsaf#dsaf dee#dee dsaf#the only requirements for Dee designs is make her wear pink and have a scarf that could pass as red#that’s it#I love how creative people get when drawing dee#I’ve seen so many designs that all look so unique from each other and I’m obsess#obsessed. why do you guys think I have so many different deesigns#the possibilities are endless. make her pink. give her a scarf and fill her to the brim with childlike wonder#and BOOM you just made your very own dee

the colour theory thing drives me crazy because to me it should just be a fun lil thing- like oh you're a cool winter, so you'll probably suit x y z well! but most colour match videos i see are so like YUCK- You cannot wear *insert huge swath of colours and tones here* and I'm just like.... Shut up. Shut ya mouth.
#also to me it should be treated the same as like mbti or zodiac stuff#something thats fun and you might find things in that feel true to you or express something about yourself but dont treat it as hard#rules that must be followed. like do the colour theory thing and if you really like the suggestions than incorporate it#but if you like blue but they say no blue for you just be like lol nah <3#it also negates the fact that sometimes contrast looks good#like lee know seungmin and changbin are more warm toned imo so in theory silver hair shouldnt have worked on any of them#but i personally find concert videos and non-edited pics of them with those colours to be really handsome bc it bought the warmth in their#skin out more. it made em look more tan and they looked ~glowing~ as the people say#anyway this was gonna be notes on a post but i didnt need to do homegirl kpop pics like that lol

#my art stuff#digital art#undertale#sans#human#humanization#gajinka#finally drew a human sans I’m happy with without copying someone else’s#I wanna do mars as well soon but I’m still figuring out how to deal with the sharp features#I can’t believe I forgot to post this the other day#I should draw a papyrus soon#I am gonna be completely honest and say that I’m terrified of drawing people of colour because I don’t know many personally#and looking things up can only take you so far. especially with mixxed info everywhere#and I’m prolly the most “woke” person in my family and I have a racist dad so it’s not like anyone of them would know any better#I just drew some hair that looked nice to me and picked a skintone that looked nice and gave him hazel eyes literally just cus I think they#’re pretty (and heterochromia on top of that but that’s just a sans vibe)#I know nothing about textured hair care so I couldn’t pic a style based on ease or anything etc etc#so if anybody has any thoughts on how to improve him. I’d love to hear feedback on it#I am literally the most white cracker you can find with straight blonde hair and blue eyes and all that shit so I know NOTHING about#anything else and I want to learn more from other perspectives in general#I know I could and maybe should have just kept this post as-is without adding all my hyper-worry (which really isn’t helping anybody)#but this is very outside of my comfort zone for character design and I’m terrified of designing anything without some kind of experience#TL;DR if this sucks in some way from a cultural standpoint please let me know#and… I shouldn’t apologize for the long ramble cus it’s my own post etc etc but I still want to apologize#and thank you. people often don’t read tags especially when they go on like mine do

I was tagged by @wearileigh to make myself in these picrews: x x x
Thank you for tagging me!
I tag @onedivinemisfit, @theimpossiblescheme, @13eyond13, @faintingheroine, @eroshiyda, @blackwoodbanshee and @elegyofthemoon if they want to do it.
#My mother saw the first one and she said it was uncanny‚ even creepy‚ how much it actually looked like me#I did wear that very same outfit a few days ago‚ but she said it was more the way the hair falls and the eye colour‚#and that I even had the plush#It's true that one was the picrew most fun to play with because it had a lot of options‚#but it still has the peachlike anime face typical of picrews. Mine looks nothing like that#Anyway yes that picrew was fun. The last one I found the most boring#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#Tag game#?#I don't recall#I have to go back and check because I think I had some I forgot to delete#I've added people who I think to recall did these things#Of course you can not do it#But there are the links if you want#I found one where you could make knights. That was nice

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.
Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.
That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.
The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.
Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.
Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.
#team fortress 2#tf2#that's it that's the only tags i am putting this in. maybe someday i will have the balls to do more but for now that's about it#while i have the chance - and since posts with more of my yapping in the tags don't pop in people's feeds much - i might as well ramble-#-about these guys here. self-inserts or not i'm projecting only half of my bullshit on each one of them. creativity 👍#backup is tall and pale and has sharp canines and more of a dull brown hair colour with tired grey eyes. no amount of babyface or soft-#-hands can really help a motherfucker when he's grimacing so much because he just Hates being around half the people on the team.#cleaner meanwhile is on the shorter side and has constantly flushed skin and brighter colours and whatnot. you can't see it because of the-#-mask most of the time but they do smile a lot more and have a more cheery disposition towards life and see the whole team as their friends!#backup transitioned fully (albeit not very legally lmao) and is scared shitless of not being seen as a man although the last time that ever-#-came up was years ago. he holds onto his last name as part of the heritage he loves and loathes at the same time - attached to his culture-#-and religion and bloodline while also resentful of his family and the regime he knows someone else on the team suffered under.#cleaner just kinda binds and calls it a day. he only does it to confuse the team because while he doesn't identify with being a girl he-#-loves the confused looks his epic gender reveal moment gets. they do not remember their family name or where they grew up or what even got-#-them to this kind of mental state. and he's chill with it he values the here and now way more than some dark edgy backstory.#backup despite trying to be an honest man is afraid of vulnerability as well. he stubbornly refuses to express love towards certain people-#-lest they feel disgusted and turn away. he's afraid of consequences afraid of losing the people he loves afraid of his ''interests'' being-#-what drives them away. it doesn't by the way and he just wasted time being a cold indecisive loser for several months lmao#cleaner wears a suit that hides all of them yes but they pretty much never lie. he is always his truest self and he can always just burn-#-people who don't like him enough to make it a problem. they are a lot more comfortable indulging in their interests - be they innocent-#-and juvenile or violent and dangerous. he is quite open with his affection and his fascinations that backup would rather keep secret.#i want to establish that these two can only exist in separate universes because they both have feelings towards the funny assistant lady-#-and the funny inventor guy (selfshipping for the winnn) and would fight over those two. cleaner would win by the way#it's also a really funny point of comparison. cleaner is objectively more fucked up than backup and still managed to be more normal about-#-their feelings and live as a healthier and happier person than that guy. comedic gold honestly#OKAY I'M DONE if you read up to here you get uhhh a cookie :-)

Like I do think Seungmin got pigeonholed as Dandy Boy and the Straight Man of skz and even thought they're 6 years into this everyone keeps falling back to that time and again, once in a while he gets to go out of that zone but they always bring him back to it in the end because that's /his station/ but boy. Do I wish they'd move on.
#(straight man not as in heterosexual but as in like The Boring One)#like even just looking at haircuts- seungmin has had the least styles#it tended to always stay similar length similar cut and style colour would change but like the overall vibe was the same#i think thats why the blonde mullet was so notable last yr bc it was finally something a lil different?#like they barely ever do him sexy or edgy its just kinda here he is in a suit#here he is in shorts and a sweater vest- even makeup? like stage makeup?#others will get dramatic or cool makeup once in a while but i honestly cant remember him ever really having that?#like can you just try different things with him now. its been 6 yrs.#people reblogoed my chanel post of him and were literally like WAIT THATS SEUNGMIN? bc even just a leather jacket toussled hair#and a slightly red lip was Notably different for him cmonnnnnn#lol no wonder hes been trying to get out there more this yr tho i think hes also aware and also trying to show different sides of himself#negativity

bruce after bringing home a kid who is eerily similar to him: alfred, what are you doing?
alfred hiding the dna test behind his back: nothing?
#dc comics#dc universe#dcu#batman#bruce wayne#bruce thomas wayne#alfred pennyworth#alfred thaddeus crane pennyworth#i refuse to believe that alfred isn't the tiniest bit suspicious about the blue-eyed black-haired orphans that bruce keeps adopting#to be fair most people would assume that batkids are biologically bruce's because of the hair and eye colour they all share#alfred after meeting the batkids: do i need to give bruce the talk again?#alfred after meeting another batkid: who did you impregnate this time master bruce?#bruce pleads innocence and alfred believes him until damian showed up at the front door and then the suspicions return#there are probably rumours about the batkids being bruce's bio kids and it's the funniest thing ever

every time I see "does dark blond exist or is it just light brown" discourse I'm always so convinced that the ppl commenting that "it's just brown" are just from an area where there's hardly any natural blondes around bc so often the hair colour is quite obviously just the dark beige colour most blonde people get when they're adults but bc their only frame of reference is bleach blonde or highlights they think that anything darker must be brown. mf it's BLONDE
#some people do keep that very light blonde colour into adulthood two of my cousins did#but i have two naturally blonde friends and their hair looks beige in most lighting bc theyre grown adults who dont bleach their hair#im dutch trust me on this.... your idea of blonde is just skewed by a distinct lack of natural blondes in your area#personal
