Maturing Fast

The story of a teenage forced to entirely change his look entirely and conform to the style his parents decide for him (it's my first post of Tumblr, and possibly the first part of a longer story, so all comments welcomed).

As a teenager growing up in the mid-90s, I thought I was invincible - while I wasn't really bad, I did push boundaries, and would occasionally skip classes with my mates and had had a couple of warnings from the police. Jeans, tracksuits and trainers and my centre parted 'curtains' hairstyle hung down to cover the top of my ears and sat full at the back of my head down to my collar - this was my look, and I thought I looked so cool! It was just the start of spring break and I got caught with my mates for fighting another group of kids at the shopping centre, and the police got involved. My parents were furious, and I was instantly told that, as part of my punishment, I was grounded. I'd been given previous warnings about my behaviour, and I was told that things would change to ensure my behaviour improved. After 2 weeks of extreme boredom of not being able to leave the house, other than under the supervision of my parents, it got to the Saturday before school returned, and I was told by my dad we were going into town. They were still angry that I was letting them down, and so I knew better than to question this or push back. We found ourself outside the barber my dad went to - and which I had gone to until about 4 years previous. Many a standard boys short back and sides with a straight fringe had been administered to me here in the years before I was allowed to get a more fashionable haircut from a stylist. My dad turned to me, "right, listen up, you'll be getting a haircut of my choosing today, as it's become clear that you can't make sensible decisions on your own, and you need clearer guidance on what is acceptable, and how a responsible young man should act and look." I knew I had no really option on this so merely nodded and got directed in through the door to wait. 15 minutes later I was in the barber's chair. We'd covered the predictables - yes, I'd grown a lot in 4 years, and yes, the barber had never seen my hair so long. I knew better than to make any sarcastic comments, so merely nodded and awaited my fate, with growing nervousness. And here it came, as my dad told the barber "he's been getting himself into a bit of trouble of late, so me and his mum have decided he needs more direction and clarity to help support him make the right decisions - it's time for a change of style, I'm thinking something similar to how I wear my hair." I was horrified. I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. My dad was in his forties. I was 15. How could it possibly be considered that his deeply unfashionable dad's hair style could be considered suitable for me?!? My dad's hair, peppered with grey, was a short back and sides - maybe half an inch on the back and sides, but then with a side part with the hair swept back to form a small quiff of hair to match with the other dull business men he worked with. Surely he just meant to make the hair a bit shorter, rather than to inflict a style that only a middle aged man could consider wearing - I was surely panicking unnecessarily? The barber nodded, "ok, so if we start with a short back and sides and then we can take it from there. Are we keeping the centre parting?" my dad jumped straight in to kill any hopes that I could retain anything like my current style: "no, he needs a proper mans haircut - side parted, short but with enough to sit nicely." With that the barber started combing out my hair and wetting it. He brushed it forward then put in a new part about a quarter of the way across my head. "how's that?" the barber asked. "No, I think a bit further over, just like mine" my dad responded. The barber raised his eyebrows slightly and moved the parting over so it sat over near the temple of my head. My dad nodded. This was looking horrific. The barber was quickly chopping away at hair. He cut tightly around the back and sides of my head, fully exposing my ears and neck. The bulk of my hair was quickly reduced around the sides to less than half an inch, and then getting progressively longer on the crown of my head, through to about 3 inches at the front, which was swept to the side, following a thrashing with the thinning shears. I thought that at least I could try and recreate my centre parted haircut at the front - even though it would be much shorter, I could salvage something of my dignity. The barber killed any hopes of this as he briefly brushed my hair forward, and working from the full length at the side where the part was, he then cut diagonally upwards through my fringe, so that at the other side of my forehead I had almost no fringe at all. I was horrified. This left me with no option at all other than to wear my hair to the side. He then blow-dried my hair, helping to train it to sit flat in the newly inflicted side parting. He then suggested to shave in the side parting to help me to make sure I kept a proper, straight parting, especially while my hair was getting used to it's new style. My dad readily agreed, further signing my death warrant on having any flexibility on my hairstyle whatsoever. He then used his razor and started to taper the back and sides of my already short hair. I thought it couldn't get any worse, but he then shaved off my entire sideburns, which were my best feature, having extended fully to the bottom of my ear lobe. I was reduced to the tiniest of tabs at the very top of my ears. I reflected on how ridiculous I looked as he trimmed around the hairline and dusted me off. I looked like a want-to-be junior librarian. "Pomade?" My dad nodded. My hair was suddenly plastered with grease and brushed carefully to either side of the bright white parting, while the front hair was carefully flicked over and brushed backwards. I was then shown the back which just looked like a very bland man's hairstyle, with my hair now being a dark, shiny brown rather than the dirty blond of my long-haired days. I looked even more stupid now - I looked like a little boy trying to be a business man. I was so upset. How could my dad do this to me? He looked so pleased with himself, he had a massive smile on his face as I went and sat on the row of seats. My dad was now in the chair getting his normal trim and, with pomade applied, had a very similar style to me - though his grey hair made it much less harsh than my dark hair really highlighting the businessman's hairstyle that now sat on my head. No-one at school had a style like this - yes some boys had shorter hair (especially the nerdy ones), but even they didn't have a side parting!!! As we left the shop my dad ruffled my hair (which did not move!) and said how proud he was of my behaviour, and that he hoped I would realise that this is just part of him and my mum helping to show me the right way to get ahead in life. I burst into tears. Anger and humiliation surged through my body as I screamed at him. To be fair to him, he was very calm but he explained that things needed to change, and that this was just part of the journey to me becoming a respectable man. He guided me down the road as he said we needed to buy some things for the start of the school term on Monday. In the shoe shop, he asked for a pair of black shoes for me - the man came back with a pair of waxy leather boat shoes. While my mates all wore trainers to school, I also saw that many of the kids wore these shoes, and while it was another frustration if I was made to wear these, it still wasn't anything bad compared to the haircut. However my dad shook his head and asked for a formal dress shoe. A pair of formal dress oxfords were put on my feet. They were the shiniest shoes I'd ever seen, and so stiff and creaky, while the leather sole clomped on the floor as I walked down the shop in them. I highlighted they hurt my feet, but my dad was happy that I'd soon break them in, as I'd be wearing them every day - this was as bad as the haircut! We then went on to buy some new smart trousers and blazer to replace the jeans I'd previously worn to school. I was going to look like a junior funeral director. I wasn't sure how I was going to get through school on Monday, but I was hopeful that this punishment would soon pass. But my parent had other ideas, and little did I realise this was just the start of my journey to adulthood.

Just Play the Part

(Luke Castellan x Fem!Dionysus!Reader)

Summary: A makeover from Silena and the Aphrodite girls gives you the confidence boost you need.

A/N: this took me so bloody long it's borderline embarrassing. also luke is so out of character it almost makes me sick but whatever. god this is so short, i'm so sorry.

Warnings: Use of Y/n, reader is described to have curly hair but that's about it.

Children of Dionysus are rare, daughters even more so. As a matter of fact, you were the only one. To your knowledge… Before you came to Camp Half-Blood, you were an only child, and when you arrived, you suddenly had a much larger family that you did before. A father, brothers, it was fantastic, it felt amazing to have the family you had always dreamed of. However, with a somewhat absent mother, apparently no sisters, and not a whole lot of friends, let alone female ones, you had had little to no feminine influence in your life. This resulted in you becoming a bit of a tom-boy. It’s not that you didn’t want to embrace your femininity, you just didn’t know how.

“Oh goodness, those curls are a mess.”

“That outfit certainly isn’t doing her any favours.”

You heard the whispers as you walked past the small group of Aphrodite girls. As a child of Dionysus, you had quite a talent for theatrics, as well as being prone to sarcastic remarks, so you just couldn’t help but snap back.

“Can I help you?” You asked the group of girls, hands on your hips with your brows furrowed.

“Actually, we were wondering if we could help you…”

---

You now found yourself sat in a surprisingly comfortable barber-style chair in the bathroom of the Aphrodite cabin.

“Sorry I got defensive; I’m not really used to talking to girls much.” You apologise to Silena once again.

“Stop apologising! We love having a new girl to give makeovers to. And who knows, maybe this will give you the confidence boost you need to finally talk to Luke, since he’s obviously too shy to talk to you first.”

You cast your gaze downward as a warmth spread across your cheeks.

“Don’t worry, you’re not that obvious. I just have a knack for these kinds of things, comes with being an Aphrodite kid. Luke, however, is about as subtle a sledgehammer. Please don’t tell me you haven’t noticed.” She paused combing your hair to look you in the eye.

You just shrugged.

“The lingering touches when he corrects your stances, yearning stares…” She awaited your reaction and when she was met with a befuddled expression, she continued.

“Oh my god, you’re oblivious. Here’s what you’re going to do. Once we’re done here, you’re going to walk right up to him, and ask him out. There’s no way he’ll say no, so don’t try that excuse. And I’ve seen you on stage, you can certainly play an outgoing character, so if you’re going to use the shy excuse, I’ll tell you to just pretend you’re on stage.”

---

It had been almost two hours and your makeover was finally over. Your curls were healthier than ever, your nails were painted, light makeup had been applied, and you had never felt more beautiful. You looked at your outfit in the mirror, taking note of the way the new flare jeans were much more flattering than your previous daggy cargos, and your camp tee now a size smaller and no longer drowning you.

“You’re lucky orange suits you, now go get your man!” Silena pushed you out the door, giving your butt a playful smack on the way out.

---

Feeling more confident than ever you approached Luke while he was practicing his swordsmanship in front of the setting sun, alone, as he usually was at this time of day.

“Luke”

The brunette boy turned around so swiftly he almost lost his footing. He looked you up and down and swallowed heavily.

“Y/n, you look ama- “

“Do you want to go out with me?” The words shot out of your mouth before you could stop them. Regardless of Silena’s reassurance, if he did end up rejecting you, you wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible.

His jaw dropped and he looked as though he wanted to say something, but his voice wouldn’t cooperate. The two of you stood in silence for a few moments as you waited for an answer.

“It’s fine if you don’t. I’ll just go.” You began to turn around.

“YES! Sorry, yes, I want to go out with you. Please. I really want to go out with you.”

It seemed his voice had finally caught up with his mind.

Hmm… He’s cute when he rambles…

@elz-zalarrr this one's for you!

forcebutching a shy default-settings dyke in my own femme way sounds SO fun…. like omg let me give you a makeover!! 😊💅🏻✨

of course they go along with it, expecting me to put them in a dress and do their makeup and curl their hair. they’re not exactly looking forward to it but they’ll take any excuse to be close to me.

they start to realize that’s not what’s happening when i lead them to the “men’s” clothing section. they react with confusion, but i tell them to shut up and let me work. my efficiency and relentless chipper energy leaves them no room to protest as i load their arms with button-downs, sweaters, slacks, jeans, belts. i perch myself in the fitting room as i treat them like a paper doll, switching outfits around until i’m satisfied with their new butch wardrobe. then i drag them to the fragrance counter, testing colognes until their nose itches and their head is spinning.

next to the barbers for a haircut, the barber asks them what they want but i’m the one who answers, knowing exactly what will look good on them and how to achieve it, down to the proper clipper settings. they start to freak out when the scissors appear, they stammer and turn panicked eyes to me in the mirror, not sure if they want to go through with this but i pout and give them puppy eyes like 🥺 what, i thought you wanted a makeover? 🥺🥺 and in .5 seconds they cave. afterwards they can’t stop staring at themselves in the mirror, red in the cheeks, unsure how to feel, unable to quite believe the lengths they’ll go to for a crush.

i dress them up in one of their new date outfits and take them out to dinner, to admire my work properly. they notice that i’m touching them so much more than i did before, humming contentedly, smoothing out their shirt around their shoulders, grabbing them by the belt to pull them close, so i can breathe in their new cologne, while they discover the delight of femme nails on a freshly buzzed scalp. i beam at them, tell them how much better they look this way, and wasn’t that so fun?

#blushing #one of my silliest most self-indulgent fantasies teehee #force masc #forcebutch #forcemasc #btw i loveeee long hair butches the haircut is just in service to this particular fantasy bc it’s such a drastic change <333

although jpv choking tim in the batcave is iconic, my favorite deranged moment with them is when jpv makes tim cut his hair in batman #491

it's a 90s weird girl makeover by losing the glasses and taking her hair out of its ponytail <3 and the fact that he makes tim do this for him instead of. you know. going to a barber. everything about this is amazing. tim being like "idk jpv you're acting like you're too cool for glasses..."

"i'm no nerd," jpv lies. "i'm part of the cool crowd now." (he's not).

Whatever you're doing, drop it right now and go watch BlackBerry. I can give a million reasons to watch it and I will.

This movie has everything.

You loved The Social Network and you never really found something quite like it? Go watch Blackberry, then. You got the love triangle, you got the genius who displays neurodivergent traits overtly, the Best Friend, the other woman a.k.a. the real businessman.

BUT, big wonderful but, it's ugly. It's painfully uncool, staged and at the same time terribly realistic. They all look like shit and you can't help but love it. None of that Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg that make you want to jump into a foursome, here the business cool guy (Glenn Howerton from IASIP) is balding and wearing a suit he clearly stole from Micheal Douglas from Wall Street and he looks unfuckable. The Best Friend has a ninja turtles wallet. They're all ugly, but let me be clear with what I mean: I am fucking sick of seeing fashion models on screen, I am talking about ugliness not as insult but as a punch of reality straight in the face. None of that tiktok black cat gamer boyfriends, these 40 year old men should all burn their entire wardrobe and sue their barbers, I love it.

And yes, at the very beginning (just there) the movie is set in the 80s, and thank God it's not Stranger Things/It chapter one aesthetic, it's disputable shirts and the most pathetic athletic hair band you'll ever see.

You said found family? These tech guys are all Best Friends and party together and dance and have movie nights in the middle of the day in which they watch Indiana Jones and They Live.

The first third of the movie is basically The House Bunny for business companies, with Glenn Howerton sweeping in, giving a makeover to the company, toss those glasses away and make it the belle of the ball, so much that quaterback is asking her to dance.

And it's directed with the camera movement of a mockumentary, hand-held camera baby. And I am telling you this as someone who is getting pretty sick of the overabudance of mockumentaries, I hear you if you're complaining, but this is so good you get over it.

How is the story of the Blackberry phone handled, you ask? Well I am no expert, but I think they did a brilliant job. The Social Network is about Facebook but also about connections and human relationships changing, here you see how the phone industry was changed by Blackberry. In TSN you never actually saw how The Facebook was impacting the world, just the main characters' lives. Here you got the other face of the medal.

The soundtrack? It fucking slaps. I don't know the titles of all the songs in the soundtrack, but sure as hell I am going to look for them. And every movie that has Joy Division in it has my respect.

Oh, if you're a cinephile, I must advise you to be real careful watching this movie, because the amount of movie quotes contained in it could make YOUR BRAIN EXPLODE. Same goes for nerd culture quotes, there are just tooo many and you could risk loving them too much.

Afraid this movie it starting to sound too wholesome and happy? Oh, don't worry, there's enough corruption and angst to fill a Scrooge McDuck money deposit. You got corruption arcs, you got a big deal of actual corruption, calls from the SEC, you got fucking espionage, you got straight up lying, committing crimes, betraying your best friend, one of the few man who looks worse as a villain than as a hero, you got bastardization arc, you got Onceler-ization arc, you got Mark Zuckerberg equivalent of "We're not putting ads", you got "Stop, this isn't you".

But I understand, it's not enough for you. How about the FUCKING Apple-Blackbarry War, uh? How about that? Might interest you? With a flavour of tragedy because you already know who prevailed, but you're living the story from the side of the losers. Doomed by the narrative, ladies and gentlemen.

You got resentment building up, you got workers' discontent growing, you got sales dropping, in TSN you stopped very little after the explosion, now you get to see the whole thing collapse. It's the Western Roman Empire and it's 476 AD. It's "we could have it all". It's epic and terrible and destructive and it's the story of fundamental changes in the phone market and what phones came to be. It has an ending that it's bitter and happy and delightfully ironic and leaves you wondering what if.

I had one, one complain about this movie: it all starts in Waterloo and you don't put Waterloo by Abba? But I take back my complain, and if you, like me, are into 60s music you're going to love it. They're one of my favourite bands, if you know who I am talking about, so I was elated.

Go watch BlackBerry. Go. Right now. This is how I spent my one night off, this is how I ended a very shitty day and I was not disappointed. Watching this movie has been the best thing to happen to me today.

#blackberry #blackbarry 2023 #glenn howerton #go watch it right now #movie #cinema #the social network #tsn #succession because it's the business wave baby

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 19: New Scene, New Looks

Once they had the support of their extended family, finding a nice three-story townhouse with easy access to both campuses was easy.

Everybody scrounged around for furnishings and decorations to fill the space. Their bedrooms matched their personal tastes, but the main living area somehow ended up very green. Peachy smiled, knowing what Jack would have said about the “strange coincidence” if he’d been there to see it.

---------------------------------------------

After the house was furnished and they got moved in the cousins headed out on their own – it was time for makeovers!

In order to “fit into” the “Big City” country kids Denton and Olive wanted a fresh look. Luigi was also interested in changing his style to something that would show Sims like Beau he wasn’t someone to be messed with.

---------------------------------------------

Tess helped olive pick out a few things that would photograph well and upgraded a few panels of her exoskeleton that had become a bit worn.

Denton helped talk Luigi into splurging on a slick leather jacket. He thought it was sure to make him look tough, and Luigi hoped the smooth fabric would be less irritating than an itchy wool sweater on his eczema prone skin as the weather cooled. Then all the housemates sporting hair went to the barber together for new “do’s”, while Tess went in for an oil change.

---------------------------------------------

The kids ended their day of reinvention at the piercing parlor for a little body modification. Denton felt fine after getting his new earrings, but Luigi and olive learned that nose piercings hurt. Still, they agreed they looked cool and did their best not to regret their new jewelry decision.

At the start of the new semester the new housemates gathered in their new living area, hoping together for a future as fresh as the styles they’d chose.

Leopolds Barbershop

The young man looked dazed as he sat in the deep upholstered chair. He couldn’t remember why he’d even sat in the barbers chair. One minute he came in to use the phone the next he was being caped by the barber ready for a shearing.

He didn’t need a haircut especially in this serious looking barber’s domain. Every photo on the surrounding walls showed only short and balding haircuts.

“Now you said you didn’t need a haircut? Well I’m so glad you changed your mind Simon is it?” Leopold chatted away in a jovial manner. He disliked the kid as soon as he argued with Leo about needing a shorter style.

Of course the fact the young man looked spectacular with an equally magnificent body was enough to warrant a Leopold signature makeover.

As Simon sat in the oversized chair he tried to tell the barber he only came into the store to use the phone. His car had broken down right outside and Leopolds Barbershop seemed to be the only business opened in the run-down area. For some reason he couldn’t speak or even move.

He could hear the barber’s deep but gentle voice as his eyes grew heavy. “So you want the bulk of the hair on top thinned out. Well that doesn’t seem to be a big problem. Most of my customers prefer my shorter, manlier cut’s and you my boy are no exception.”

Simon seemed to float in and out of consciousness. He could hear the sounds of the clippers but barely felt anything happening to his hair. There were some other noises he couldn’t identify in his state then he felt various creams being applied to his scalp. It was very nice for the barber to go to all this trouble he thought for a moment before wondering where that thought came from.

Leo spoke softly as he worked his magic on the captive customer. He knew the boy would soon be grooving on the changes Leo was making. He never tired of giving these smart mouthed youths his signature haircut and whatever facial hair styles he choose. You are looking smarter and more mature already Simon, you know this is what you really wanted and you are so grateful to have found such a splendid barber in Leopold.

Another thirty minutes and Simon was released from his almost comatose state. As the barbers chair was spun around to face the mirror Simon seemed a little muddled at first.

“So what do you think young man, is this what you were looking for when you asked me for a new look?” Leopold asked as he placed both hands on Simons shoulders.

“Ah….I thought…..I looked…..”

“Like in desperate need of my help.” Leo interrupted him as he focused on the young mans mind and kept his hands on his shoulders.

“Of….of course Sir. It is just splendid….ah…thank you.” Simon was suddenly forgetting any misgivings or doubts in his mind.

Simon just stared at his new haircut almost mesmerized by the shiny scalp. “It looks very …..natural…..no no shadow even.”

“Yes…..very natural and there won’t be too much growth there in the future. You are no a proud male pattern balding young man…..but there is something missing.” The barber said as he fiddled with some equipment on his counter. He went to apply some liquid to Simons upper lip.

“What…..what are you doing?” Simon asked a little confused at the actions at the barber who had turned the chair away from the mirror again.

“Just finishing off my signature haircut, I do have my standards you know. Besides, you still look way too young, you asked to look a little more mature when you sat in the chair.” Leo then opened a drawer and withdrew a dark box.

As the old barber worked on completing his makeover Simon could feel him attach something fuzzy on his top lip. He was sticking some false mustache to his face but did he want that? Didn’t he want to grow his own real one.

Sensing the disapproval Leo told him not to worry as he trimmed the mustache with his small scissors. “Not to worry, this is all real whiskers and it won’t take long to bond with your own dormant stubble.”

Standing back Leo surveyed his creation. He muttered something under his breath and it sounded foreign. Slowly the mustache area stiffened before heating up. Leopold turned the chair back around to the mirror so Simon could see the improvement.

“So what do you think?” Leo asked as he kept one hand on the shoulder watching Simons face.

“It’s… it’s…..certainly different with the mustache but won’t people tell it’s a fake? The young man asked as he touched it with his fingers. He’d never had a mustache before though this one looked very realistic.

“Nonsense my boy. Try pulling it away.”

Simon tried to remove the mustache but he found it only hurt as he tried. It was as if the strip of whiskers were growing out from under his nose.

“As you can feel, it’s very much a real mustache now.” Leo applied a little beard serum to the new mustache.

Simon was amazed…….this barber knew his craft but something in the back of his sub-conscious told him this was all too weird or was it? He thought this was what he’d asked the barber to do to him, give him a mustache and mpb haircut just like Leo.

He now loved his new look forgetting any of his misgivings. He thanked the kindly barber with a solid handshake before leaving the shop a new man and of course another permanent customer of the barbershop.

Keiwa: *returns Ise to his parents who had a relaxing day, with singed clothes and all*

Rintaro: Keiwa-kun, what happened to you?

Keiwa: Aah, this, don’t worry about it.

Keiwa: Ise-kun saw Michinaga again…

Keiwa: And well, he’s still angry at how he threatened Akamichi-san.

Touma: Did he approach you?

Keiwa: No, he was actually looking at a statue talking to himself.

Kento: Is that so?

Rintaroo: You could come with us and have your clothes mended.

Kento: You could borrow some of my clothes or Rintaro’s clothes, we look about the same height.

Mei: Oh my!

Mei: Oh no, this won’t do.

Mei: Neon-chan would blow a gasket.

Kento: What?

Mei: If you’re suggesting that Keiwa-kun wears that potato sack again, Neon-chan would kill you.

Keiwa: Aaah…

Mei: I still cannot figure out why your sword recreated both that and those atrocious pants of yours.

Touma: We’re still on this?

Mei: No, I’m not having another man suffer from those atrocious clothes.

Keiwa: Okay?

It is most fortunate that Keiwa cannot borrow the potato sack coat, because it has met its fate as is proper for the atrocity of its existence- death by burning.

Silliness aside, Mei would definitely attempt to give Keiwa a makeover so he can impress Neon :D Some stylish clothes, maybe a nice trim at the barber's...

Of course, he doesn't need to do anything 'coz she likes her tanuki as adorable as he already is, but Neon would def appreciate him in some fancy clothes and a fashionable haircut XD

Day 200

I lost my journal page during the time break. Which is fine because I still have the one I picked up after my first time witnessing the time break event. I don't feel in pain or anything but I feel different now as though I changed as a person. It's almost like I died that day and was reborn.

It's odd I know but, it feels like my way of thinking is different now, I don't know how else to describe it.

In other news I woke up at a department store. My first impulse was to check my bag to see if I already raided it. But, strangely it's my exact same bag that I had prior to the time break. It has the exact same supplies too which is really odd. This may be because instead of inhabiting an instance of myself or whatever, I just straight am myself.

I'm going to take my time looting this place. While I'm at it I'm going to get a whole new wardrobe of outfits. Since my current clothes are very old and kind of musty. They also don't feel like my clothes anymore.... You know what it's makeover time there's a barber shop here too so look out you dusty wasteland a new me is in the making!!!

First - Prev - Next
