Okay I need to make a fresh post about it because. I just keep seeing it.

Are there really people out there who think this man needs someone to show him how to care for his hair and appearance?

That's not just a bun, that's an updo. With carefully styled slut strands.

He made his crew get makeovers so they'd match his aesthetic.

This is a man who appreciates a look. You can't tell me you look at this man and think wow, he really needs a white guy to show him how to maintain personal grooming.

He added costume elements to his coma roleplay

Please be so fucking for real. Stede washing Ed's hair can be a beautiful intimate moment and who doesn't love a scalp massage. But if I'm reading a fic/take/whatever and see anything about Stede teaching Ed how to care for his own hair (it's a totally different hair type!!! Stede wouldn't KNOW!!) I immediately stop reading and eventually I'm going to break something.
